"JBR construction made the process very smooth, comforting & pricing was very reasonable! I would recommend for any concrete work needed."

"They were very good, and were the most affordable. Tony was very knowledgeable, and did a very nice job sealing it because they also had to seal the concrete against my brick wall, and actually did it beveled so it'd look nice."

"All work was done and looks great. Michael and team were able to cut out the old heaved garage floor, create a new base, re-pour and add controlled cuts to alleviate future uncontrolled cracking. The crumbling front porch was taken out, and a new porch and poured steps were installed. When the team found that the foundation did not need to be redone a reduction in the quoted price was given. Great team that went above and beyond. I would definitely hire again for future concrete work."

"He responded quickly, was on time, very professional, removed anything that was stuck, caulked any cracks.  
We've used Lee to clean, service, and repair chimneys at several houses and he always does a great job!

"Went well, exceeded my expectations. Gladly shared the company details with my realtor and other contacts. Waiting to get on their schedule for external painting and concrete work once the weather permits!"

"It was late in the seasoning we had sticker shock from other bids we had. Contractors were suggesting we wait until spring. Upmost called back and said they could fit us in and to boot offered substantial saving from what we had seen. We finished the contract on Friday after getting the details specified. The proposed to start on Tuesday. They called Monday and asked whether they could get started early with the prep work. We said sure and the old driveway removal group showed up promptly. They worked very effectively and did and additional task for us laying a drain field to divert the roof drainage under the planned new sidewalk to water a new tree. The next day the form building crew went to work. You could see in the detailed measuring that the worker new what he was doing. The accuracy of the layout was confirmed when we tested the drainage with water on the next weekend. The entire surface shed the water well which is a big deal in Michigan otherwise you end up with puddle that become ice in winter. The big show was Thursday when a large and well coordinated did the concrete pour. They worked together, created necessary expansion joints, and detailed the surface. They also did a great job of cleaning up. They kept coming working over the weekend to finish other elements. Resurfacing a porch, cleaning up any splashed cement. By the beginning of the next week they had removed the forms filled in the soil to level and seeded it. We are very happy with the new driveway and sidewalk. They replaced a broken up asphalt drive and very narrow sidewalk. They also added a step from the walk to the porch which will make it a much more comfortable step up for guests and us. Neighbors have already commented on how much it improves the view from the street."

"A-1 Roofing & Siding did a fine job on my roof. There was concern that the plywood base was spongy but it turned out that it only needed a new sheet or two. While up there, they noticed that the chimney needed some minor repair that they were able to take care of. There was a crew below to clean up as the roofers dropped the old shingles, etc. A new ice/water barrier was installed and new flashing around the chimney. 50 year shingle warranty and 10 year labor warranty was included. There was concern that the dumpster would damage my new concrete driveway (3 mos. old), but there was no damage from that. All in all, the job only took about 2 days to finish. I would definitely hire them again for this kind of job."

"Very professional and courteous. Did have some delay due to wet weather and the city made more demands than expected. It was a total of 3 days to implement. Results were outstanding. Price was higher than most but not as high as a few. Elected not to go with low bidder. The concrete was injected with fibers which is more costly and is supposed to make the cement stronger."

"We worked primarily with Chris who served as both the project manager as well as doing a substantial amount of the work himself. 
I chose Yellow Rose initially because of my interaction with him and his willingness and enthusiasm for our project and criteria.  Our main stipulation was that all original, 1930s era tile and details be kept intact while fixing extensive mold and water damage and replacing fixtures, as well as addressing some poor workmanship that had been done in the past.  What I was most impressed with during the process was Chris's dedication to solving any and all problems and his ability to do so.  There was never any point where I was concerned that the work would not get done or would not get done at the quality level I expected.  The one big hitch was that removing the original shower/tub fixtures was far more time consuming than anticipated (the plumbing was, apparently, also original!), and while this did add time and cost, Chris got it done.  He also spent a substantial amount of time correcting issues with the grouting not being done up to his personal standards - something that, honestly, neither my husband nor I would have ever noticed!
There were a few instances when the timing of the work wasn't ideal, however I have to balance that with all the workers being willing and able to do things like stay late on weekend nights to complete a job that turned out to be more complicated than anticipated.  Another big plus for me was that Chris was really respectful of our home and mindful of our aged, skittish cat - which was a huge relief! 
I feel I should mention that Chris is quite young, but don't let that put you off or concern you.  His professionalism, skill, and dedication shine through during every conversation and interaction - and he's also really entertaining and personable!
