CELTIC PAVERS

Horribly. Swale looks like a swamp when it rains and driveway does not drain properly and puddles. Have to hire another contractor to repair poor work performed by Celtic Pavers

We learned that dealing with city building departments can be difficult especially when you live in a historic district. After a full year of much frustration experienced by both us and Jim trying to get approval we finally received a permit from the city. It was definitely worth the wait. Jim and his crew are true professionals and we couldn't be happier with the final result. We went from having the ugliest house on the block to endless compliments from anyone that passes by. I would definitely recommend Celtic pavers to anyone that is interested in brick paver work. <br />

once they got started it was very fast and efficiently completed <br />

At first it seemed like everything was proceeding as plannd.  There were issues in getting hold of the owner. Then we paid him and sent check to address provided and check came back. He gave us wrong address and it was the address at the top of his stationary. We had to resend check to new address. He and his staff are not well organized. He did put the pavers in and left a considerable amount of pavers behind. He was also suppose to come back and seal the pavers. We also wanted him to do additional work but he never responded after 7 to 8 calls and messages. <br /> To date he has not sealed the pavers and has not returned to pick up excess pavers. Won't even return an email or phone call. <br />

Love it.  Jim was great.  He had great ideas for improving the basic design of my driveway.  I love the result.  I thought the price was fair. <br />

Jim and his crews did a fantastic job for us. His men are true artists. They took my design and brought it to life. I give them my absolute highest recommendation.

I met with Jim Nolan in June 2013 to get a quote to replace my wooden 2-3 high retaining wall that was buckling in my back yard. I accepted his quote and his permit runner Jossy came to my house within a few days with the permit app and they del'd the materials the same day. Within a short period of time  they started tearing down the old wall and installing the new one. They starting capping it after putting up three courses and I had to call Jim and tell him of the error so they had to have more materials delivered for the fourth course and more caps as they had to pull off several that were already adhered to the wall. He blamed it on a new supervisor. They did not schedule the inspection after the footer was completed but rather waited until the wall was completed and when Palm Beach County came for the inspection on Sept 23rd 2013 a final correction notice was on my front door " No footer inspection was scheduled. Engineer to certify footer and gravel drainage bed. There are no drawings of how the work was to be done; unproductive trip/pay fee" . Jim scheduled a second inspection and said he would meet the inspector at my house and he did not show and I rec'd another correction notice " Work is complete without inspections, please provide engineer's letter certifying footing and drainage meet all 2010 Florida bldg code requirements, wasted trip/pay fee?. I called him and he said he couldn't make it to the inspection because he had one in the morning at another job and the inspector was running late. He told me he was going in the Palm Beach County Building Inspection office and meet with the inspector and give him the drawings and get the permit closed. It is now July 2014 and my permit (B-2013-014601) is still not closed after about 20 emails and 20 telephone calls to him.  I am at the point where I am going to ask him to refund my money and take the wall down and take his materials and get another contractor who understands the permit process. <br />

it was ok. wasn't much to do but they fail to finish in a timely manner <br />

LOOK NO FURTHER:  Celtic Pavers is the best company you will ever deal with.  Jim Nolan treats his customers like family. He is the most trustworthy gentleman, and hands - on professional you will ever meet. His crew is loyal and does exceptional work. I am particularly indebted to him for saving me from days and weeks of stress and worry because the pavers that the original company had installed had come loose and created an unsafe environment on my patio pool.  (See my review of SNS Pavers, Inc.) <br /> After weeks of failed attempts to appeal to the previous installer to correct their poor workmanship, I decided to consult with another company. When I called Celtic Pavers, I was able to talk to Mr. Jim Nolan, immediately.  He came over, evaluated the problem, and assured me that he would have it fixed. <br /> In less than a week, Mr. Nolan personally brought two of his crew members and supervised them for the entire hour to make sure they didn?t miss anything. The job was done beautifully and for a nominal fee. <br /> I wish I had known about Celtic Pavers before I hired the other company. The integrity and workmanship of Celtic Pavers is outstanding.  <br /> Thank you so much, Jim Nolan, for giving me peace of mind, and for restoring my faith in humanity. <br /> I recommend Celtic Pavers personally and with utmost confidence. Please save yourself the stress and grief that I have experienced with the other company; and trust that Celtic Pavers will earn your highest rating.  <br /> <br /> <br />

Second time using them, great Job as usual. Neat, well done, and on time. <br />

<p>Everything went great from start to finish. I shopped for 2 months before deciding on CELTIC and I was rewarded for my effort. Jim Nolan and Josie ( his office manager ) did everything that I asked and more. Jim sent his crew back to the job after I realized that a sprinkler pump was going to be a problem where it was placed. The crew came back and made it all look beautiful without an additional charge which I was ready to pay,  because it was my lack of planning that created the problem.</p> <br />

They built a beautiful deck. The quality was pretty good. I asked repeatedly for extra tiles in case some of them broke and he never got them to me or responded. He said I should have asked for that up front and got kind of nasty about it, the customer service is lacking but the work is good. He never writes anything down that you mention and then he forgets about items that you have talked about. The job ended up as a beautiful deck but dealing with the details was frustrating.

<strong>FANTASTIC!!</strong> <br /> Jim Nolan and Celtic Pavers are the best! <br /> He is on site every day and supervises every detail from beginning to end. <br /> We have used Celtic Pavers twice and while they're not the cheapest, you definitely get what you paid for. <br /> Jim answers any questions and is available 24/7 when he's working on your home. <br /> So far, he has paved our back patio, repaved our driveway, built two walls on the front of the house and <br /> extended a pathway to the pool which has given us a lot more usable space. <br /> I would hire Celtic Pavers in a heartbeat if I had a patio or paving job. <br />

Jim came out for an estimate within a few days of my phone call in March 2013.  We went over what I wanted to have done and he provided me an estimate via email the following day.  I agreed to the work and process began.  His assistant, Jossy, delivered the permit paperwork to sign and then took care of filing the permit and notice of commencement.  I chose the color and type of paver from the manufacturer's website which Jim provided and then he placed the order. There was a delay by the manufacturer in getting my order out and delivered, and then after delivery, there was about 3-4 weeks of rain, rain, rain.  But, when we finally had some good sunny days, the project was started and completed within a couple of days.  We love the pavers and have gotten many compliments.   It was a pleasure working with Jim, Jossy, and their installation team.  I highly recommend them. <br />

Jim was very attentive and professional and got the work done after a major problem with a previous contractor. <br />His crew was terrific! <br />

At first I as not so sure about this company.  I thought the owner was a bit abrupt, and after the estimate the communication was a little lacking and I was not sure if he was going to follow through. <br /> y I also got estimates from 4-5 other companies. It became clear to me that Jim was the only one who really knew what he was doing, and his price was very reasonable.  After a couple more interactions, Jim was actually great to work with. He was the only one of a half dozen contractors who immediately knew what pavers to get to match what I already had.  His guys showed up right on time, and completed the job efficiently.  They used left over pavers to improve some other areas. I also decided I wanted a walk-way on the side of the house, and they did this extra job for only the cost of the extra pavers!  It took 2 men half a day, and looks great. I have had several neighbors comment on how good it looks, and ask for the company information. <br /> In addition to doing this job in a timely, professional way with great results, I got more than I bargained for with this company.  On Jim's initiative, they removed a bunch of old tiles that had been left in flower beds. He also was aware that the walkway on the side of the house would not work out well if I did not add a gutter.  He gave me a referral to someone he recommended, and when they did not respond in a timely way he called himself and got the contractor right out to my house.  Celtic Pavers also made some improvements to where my AC drained near the path, and created a french drain instead.  There was no extra charge for any of these "extras". <br /> There were a couple places where they missed that there were sprinkler heads under the pavers.  I called Jim, and he had one of his men out the next day and the problem was fixed.  Although my job was relatively small, Jim went the extra mile and I am extremely pleased with the results.  He is clearly a master contractor, and knows a lot more than the minimum required for his trade.  I highly recommend this company.   <br /> <br /> <br />

The job took longer than expected due to rainy weather but we were advised that was possible/likely and we understood that. The quality of work was superb. <br />

My experience with them was good. They were punctual, and they did a good job on the pavers. They were fair priced and reliable. With regard to responsiveness, they were pretty good. They are a good company. I would definitely use them again if I had to.

I used them twice.

It was last year, so I don't remember the details. But I do remember that they finished in the timeframe they gave. They were professional. Competitively priced and they did a great job on fixing the pool pavers <br />

Celtic Pavers did a high quality job. Their promptness was a little bad.

We enjoy our new patio and pool so much that, after a year, I've decided to finally post this review.  There were a few small glitches (missed reminders about dust, for example), but on the whole the work was done very well, speedily, and on time, completed when we needed it to be.  Jim's staff took care of all the permit details, too, so that we didn't need to worry about that at all, and they stayed in touch with us until all those details were complete, even after the work was done.   We would certainly use Celtic Pavers again, and we recommend them highly. <br />

On time, price as quoted. Professional and would definately recommend. <br />
