Precision Hardscaping

Very unreliable. I never write an unfavorable review for anyone but beware of his honesty.

My typical mason was out of the country and I was extremely concerned about a falling rock wall that retains my driveway. Additionally, there was a wall to be replaced in the rear foundation of my home as well as the remaining foundation which needed a skim coat of cement to make it look nice. Shaun contacted me, set up an appointment for a quote, and showed up. He was charismatic and I trusted him over others, which is important because, as a female executive, I dont like the typical treatment of a mans stereotypical view of a woman. The quote was fine and I called him back after several other quotes to hire him FOR his trustworthy demeanor, not price. I prefer trust over price shopping. Shaun came back to look at the property and quoted me $2k more. I take copious notes so I argued this, and after just a few minutes he called me back and said he made a **calculation mistake** and my notes were correct, despite him telling me I got it wrong from the first conversation. But I let this go and continued on. Shaun insisted on ordering 7 pallets of block immediately because it was the last 7 pallets in the tri-state area. I know today this is not accurate as he underquoted the quantity needed and was able to obtain a pallet same day. I gave him the money for the materials and 7 pallets of block showed up the following week ,only to sit there for 3-4 weeks as the delays kept coming. Shaun did communicate his delays half the time, the other half I had to call him. He finally showed up on a Tuesday and completed 4-1/2 days of work which included an additional pallet as noted previously, of block and 10 of capping he did not plan for accurately. It was Shaun +1. The wall is dry stacked, There are so many issues post-completion I had to take a half day at work on a Friday and call several contractors to clean up the mess. The wall is beautiful if you only look at the wall on the **nice** side. Here are the issues that commenced: 1 - He damaged the wood siding of my home with his machine and now the cedar siding is damaged and requires replacement and repainting 2- He knocked a hole in my foundation and said I **should have expected it because he told me it could happen** which he did not. Folks, I am an underwriting manager for personal Property and Casualty insurance and I am industry employed for 20 years. I NEVER would have agreed to this. 3 - All points of the wall are not joined to make a consistent line/material with the adjoining wall. Therefore, at each connection, there is a gap and open/broken/exposed foundation and/or wall. 4 - There is not enough fill of rock behind the wall to support it where the driveway and my neighbors property meet. It is exposed, the *dirt and debris and weeds* used to fill it are sinking and will continue to because a dry stacked wall requires stone fill to support the structure and the paving on the driveway which should be happening but cant because of sinking. 5 - The driveway, sidewalk, and road are damaged by him dragging pallets of block and his machinery. 6 - He did not fully clean up my or my neighbors yard then told my neighbor he wouldnt take it because it cost him money to dump it. It is now costing me $600 to repair the foundation. I have to hire my normal mason to finish the wall fill and fill in the gap which is a liability concern in its current state. I have a tree to dump, root from my neighbors yard to dump, and I had to buy seed to reseed his lawn where the machinery completely ripped up his property. He also told my neighbor I would pay my landscaper to fix it, after I asked if I would have to do that and Shaun said NO, the grass is fine its just covered in dirt. Shaun took the extra dumping off the bill (3.7% of the total cost) for the foundation issue. I was taken advantage of. I now have complaints with HA, RI G...

Work started and finished on time, at the agreed upon price. They were picked out of 3 contractors who gave us a price and their price was the best. I would recommend PrecisionHardscaping and use them again. My only minor complaint would be that the lawn damage is a pain to repair despite their efforts.

Shaun and his crew were efficient, communicative, and worked incredibly hard to complete my patio. He was the first and only contractor I spoke to and it proved to work out in my favor. I would highly recommend Precision Hardscaping to anyone and everyone.

Shaun was awesome. Showed up on time for the estimate and both days of work. My job was getting to be almost an emergency situation as my retaining wall was collapsing and Precision did everything they could to accomodate the project as a rush. Highly recommend this company and will use again!!

Shaun and his crew removed an old and failing retaining wall, and decks. Along with a major excavation for the new wall. Shaun came in and had several ideas of how to maximize the new patio space and alternatives for the new walls. The job was started on time and Shaun is great on keeping you updated and informed of the progress and any issues that may arise. The quality of the work and materials were top notch and I wouldnâ t hesitate to recommend them for your Hardscaping job!

Iâ ve been doing business with Shaun and his team of workers for almost four years. My wife and I have been thrilled with the quality of Shaunâ s work and costumer service. The most recent project last week was a driveway expansion. It came out better than we had imagined. Shaun takes the time to ensure youâ re satisfied with every project he completes. I enjoy the personalized service and knowing Shaun treats every project like itâ s his house. Highly recommend. Ken

Shaun was very knowledgeable with his trade. He works right through cold and snow to get the job complete. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professional job done properly. He will be back to finish with additional services to complete the yardwork. He also has recommendations for landscaping in the spring. Nice work !

Good work on time always kept me updated on the progress of the work. Very satisfied.

They were extremely responsive when I requested a quote. The job was started and completed on time and as quoted. Was able to fix a landscape problem that did not mesh with the walkway design. This further enhanced the the overall impact of the project. The owner, Shaun, is very particular and is very conscientious about how the work is done. Highly recommend and will be using them again.
