Review a pro"I needed to build a deck and I heard that Palm Construction are experts for that type of work. I set up a meeting with them and Omri gave me very acceptable estimate and I decided to hire Palm Construction. Omri and his crew started working on this project on scheduled date. They were quick, efficient and professional. The job was finished on time and outcome is absolutely great! Thanks! My new deck is fantastic!"

"We have hired contractors in the past and by far hands down Solo Pavers Expert was the best ever. A top notch company that is easy to do business with. All employees professional, always showed up on time, quality work, outstanding cleanup of job site. Very good communicators, we had a few changes we wanted after job started and who ever we talked to listened and made sure the changes happened. Maicon gave us great input on our project and worked well with another contractor we had on project and took on more after other contractor failed to preform as expected. We highly recommend Solo Pavers Experts."

"We hired Lavu Concrete to expand our driveway so we could get our cars off a busy, narrow street, and a concrete sidewalk to my side yard. The crew showed up early and worked very hard. After I saw the workmanship of a planter his brother installed, I asked him to do a flagstone path through my yard. Sam quoted me a price, and his word is gold. Right before the concrete pour, the lateral sewer line was blocked, because of tree roots. Not anything they did. We had to replace the lateral which is buried 3-5 feet below ground. Everyone said we were lucky it happened before the pour. Thank God! Through all the postponement with the concrete company because of the plumbersâ schedule and weather, owner Sam kept his cool . He and his brother made the driveway and paths beautiful. Wish he did other kind of work or wish I had more work for his company. His price is fair. Heâ s knowledgeable, brother and worker were hardworking. Local business and large enough to work out any problems that might come up along the way like redoing the planter after the plumber came to install the new cleanout."

"Lamal repaired a brick column and siding for a short retaining wall, along with flagstone and a custom stone ground planter for one of our customers. He was extremely timely with communication, providing a quote, and revising his quote to accommodate special requests. He answered any questions and concerns for our customer and was extremely professional throughout. Work completed exceeded expectations and looked amazing. We could not recommend more."

"They were very responsive and available sooner than other companies. They delivered the project on time, were really professional and friendly. I would have just liked a heads up when they planted 2 trees right before a heat wave and I was not home to water them. But overall really satisfied and I would hire them again."
