“Great person to work with. He was on site every day. The job was done promptly and professionally. The job was originally a repair to the basement slab, but discovered the underlining with the foundation. No one wants to ear that the job is bigger than originally anticipated, but Pat proposed options and fixed the problems that needed fixing. I have full confidence in the repair and 100% recommend him for concrete and foundation repairs”
