"They were awesome. My yard looks great. I highly recommend them. "

"We have a beautiful outcome but we did 75% of the sanding of the deck and 25% of the patio furniture to meet our quality standards. We were told they were meeting industry standards which we did not believe. There were many late arrivals and even two no shows on the part of his subcontractor. The owner was responsive to our complaints but when he saw we could make the deck wood look new by dedicating time to sanding he did concede we were right. Based on the age alone at first we did not feel he agreed it could be achieved. After his subcontractor left we would go over his sanding even of the patio furniture. We were told all boards that needed replacement were part of the estimate but we had to find them, usually after our finger would pop through in order for him to finally change out all of the rotting boards. He took before and after pics, telling us after the fact for advertising, they are not accurate of his subcontractors work. And despite putting in a combined 32 hours of hard labor sanding, as the owners, we were offered no discount for how this all played out. His subcontractor did two things well, power wash and staining. But he used no eye for detail like we had been promised ahead of time. We will consider hiring the owner for future jobs if he does the work himself but never again with a subcontractor."

"We thought we needed our foundation excavated, sealed and drain-tiled. Kevin came to estimate the work. He spent a full hour inspecting our foundation and landscaping and showed us the drain tile already in place and how the foundation appeared to be sealed. He recommended that we manually do a minimal amount of landscaping to improve the grade and even suggested a company to help with that. He did not request payment for his in depth consultation, but I asked to pay him for his time since he probably saved us $1000 to $3000 in excavation and landscaping costs. This is the second time Kev has really helped us out. Several years ago in a different house he helped us repair a truly cracked, leaking foundation. You can see our grade A review for that work on this site, dated October of 2010."

"Lester the owner was on top of the project, he checked in with me on a daily basis and went over the project step by step until completion. I was very satisfied with the quality of work. I had a lot of issues with my back yard with water standing and it was difficult to use the back yard and cut the grass without causing damage. He recommended building French trenches which resolved the issues. The work was done timely and less costly than other companies. I highly recommend him and his team. I gave him 10/10."

"Looks even better than I expected. I figured this would go well after meeting Dave. Knowledgeable, patient, friendly. Then a 14pp proposal with many large drone photos, clear explanations of what to do, and a price for each element. They rebuilt the top 3 layers of chimney brick and the concrete cap, repaired the cracked brick wingwall, and tuckpointed the lot. Replacement bricks matched. Tuckpoint mortar matched. These guy are not just brick masons - they're artists. Crew was courteous and the foreman helpful in guiding me through a couple of minor on-site decisions I needed to make. The final price was just as quoted. Highly recommended!"

"We used Beds and Borders for the front steps and surrounding landscape. The way the original steps had been ‘encased’ within the retaining walls made the area impossible to shovel, so in winter the front door was either inaccessible or it was dangerously slippery to reach. Andy and Jesse came up with a gorgeous design that was more of a gentle pathway with landings instead of a standard staircase. It’s surrounded by native plantings and access paths to other areas of the yard. It’s so beautiful! They listened to what we were looking for and took into account our personal preferences on even small things. The crew was great about answering questions I had as the process moved along, and they also checked in with me if they had questions. On top of the excellent end product, the ‘business’ side was also great. Communication, schedule, cost—all as we initially discussed. I don’t hesitate to recommend them and would absolutely hire them again."

"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! They started ripping my old counter tops off my cabinets without looking to see how they were attached and broke a couple of my cabinets apart. I stopped them and asked what they were doing, as we were NOT replacing our cabinets and they had broken them apart!!! Then they had to figure out how to REPAIR THE CABINETS before they could install the granite tops. They had 2 cabinet tops cut to the wrong sizes. I told them it looked like they had just put them in the wrong place because, if they switched them around, it looked like they would fit. The contact person told me "they don't make mistakes"! and did not give the installers permission to swap them. The contact person was EXTREMELY RUDE AND NASTY!!! Though she was very pregnant, there was no reason for such POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Even though I had discussed my concern that they look at the granite carefully and cut it to look best in my kitchen, and there were spots on the granite I had indicated not to be used, they were. I was told by the owner that there were no instructions supplied to the granite cutters, the contact person didn't write anything down as she had said she would. The spots I didn't want in my counters were right smack in the middle of my counters and very noticeable! I had a very large portion of the second slab I purchased left over, and they used it to re-cut the 2 counter tops that were done wrong. They cut one with the grain of the granite going the wrong way. The contact person argued that the granite didn't have a grain to it and it was fine. Well, everyone that "saw" it, and she had not, said the grain is going in a different direction and it WAS noticeable. So, I had to insist the owner come out and see it. He did and apologized profusely for her behavior, agreed the grain was noticeable, and had to have the counter top re-cut a SECOND time. Using up more of my granite again. Later, when I contacted them to have them use some of my leftover granite for a small counter in my laundry room, the owner did not return my calls. I was given very expensive pricing by the contact person, and told that I should buy a new piece of granite from them as the piece I had was no longer large enough to make the small counter top. I told them they should give me a good price considering THEY screwed up my kitchen and used up all my granite re-cutting 3 counter tops, and now they expect me to buy more granite from them??? I again requested to have the owner call me, and 3 weeks later, have still not heard from him. I have hired another company who is installing granite for me at 1/2 the cost Direct Marble and Granite quoted me and I am sure will do a much more professional job!!! DO NOT USE this company!!!"

"Joel was great! I reached out last fall, just before the first snowfall. I sent Joel a few pictures and he provided an estimate via email within a day. He also sent several pictures from similar jobs to give me an idea of what the finished project would look like. The team that did the work was polite and cleaned up the work area each evening. My new steps look fantastic! Well worth the money."
