Comments: Erik, came to the house after exchanging a few calls and text messages to repair. He replaced the section in question and matched the color. He also, went above and beyond in obtaining the sealer that evening and providing me with the materials to seal in the Spring. Great work, along with a good guy! What more do you need?

Work Description: Prompt response and follow up. Once I gave him the length of the sidewalk I wanted removed and replaced, he gave me a reasonable estimate.

Comments: This is the kind of worker that we rarely find anymore. He was polite and always on time. He was clearly knowledgeable and experienced. He worked carefully and
diligently (seemingly tirelessly). He didn't stop until he thought the job was done to his high standards and always cleaned up carefully after himself. Seeing what a good job he did, I thought his bid was too low and added a 10% bonus.

Erik gets my highest recommendation!

Work Description: Estimate for the cost of concrete based on square yard.

Comments: Erik was very prompt and professional in calling me back. He helped as much as he could without actually seeing the project because I was simply looking for a price estimate for the material. Hard to do because there are many factors, but he provided a lot of useful information and was very knowledgeable. I ended up not needing his service, but from our phone discussion, he seemed very professional which is hard to find these days.
