Let Brice Do It Concrete & Pavers

I think I stated it above. Again beautiful job when completed. He does great work and we are very happy with the results. Margaret

They did an excellent job. I guess he showed up when he finally set a schedule and he did a professional job with it.

The project went well. He came by on his way home the same day I called for an estimate. He dropped the estimate by my house within 2 days. It was one of the most professionally done estimates I've seen. There was no doubt about what work was to be done, and cost associated. He completed the work the next week, and was able to seal everything except the patio. (It was not drying due to location in the shade and rains). Finally dried out about a week or so later...I sent him a text and he was there the next day to finish the job. This is a nice professional young man and he did a very good job.

Excellent job. Cut and took out concrete drive and replaced with pavers. Showed up at scheduled date and completed work on time

The first phone call to Bryce was made in early December and we had to make several subsequent follow-up calls and he never made contact. We decided to make one more call to give it one more chance and he finally called us back. We scheduled an appointment for that Saturday for him to come and give us an estimate. He never showed up for the appointment and there has never been a call to date. Very disappointing!

I contacted Brice based on the "A" rating. I called and left a message and within an hour received a call from Brice. I discussed the project and we agreed on a day for a quote. On the scheduled day he called about 2 hours before meeting time and cancelled. We rescheduled for another day the following week. No big deal at this point as I'm understanding things may happen that cause rescheduling. So on the next scheduled day, I called a few hours before to confirm he was still coming. No answer, left a message. Well, sad to say he didn't show up or call to explain. Its very disappointing Brice just blew off a potential customer, and doesn't have the courtesy to call and make it right. My advice for anyone calling him for services is to ask if he's gonna no call no show them like myself and others who've posted the same experience.

We contacted Brice based on his good reviews on Angie's list. He showed up to measure for an estimate promptly. Before we met with Brice we also had another contractor come in and give us some ideas and cost estimate. We decided to hire Brice because he seems to understand our concerns right away and also provided good designing ideas. After two brief meetings Brice was able to provide us with a written estimate that we found acceptable. We had to wait for about a month for the project to start since he has been extremely busy. Due to weather and other issues the project was delayed a bit but finally got all done recently. Brice is a very pleasant , hard working young man who puts a lots of effort in his work. I see good quality and attention to details in the pavers he did for us. His price is reasonable and he is very honest to his customers. Since he does good work and gets a lots of phone calls from people wanting to hire him I seriously think he needs more help with his business in order to handle more projects and for it to grow in the future. Overall we are very happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for quality paver work!

We started by contacting several installers that we found here. Brice was quickly identified as someone we could work with as he was knowledgeable, experienced and enthusiastic about helping us. It actually took us quite a while to decide on our project details although we thought that we had them pretty well mapped out at the start. As we learned more about what we needed and wanted to do, Brice helped with everything from size and positioning to color and shape. When he realized what I was planning as phase two, he suggested that the posts I was planning to set were not a good Do It Yourself idea. After seeing what he did with them I am glad I did not try it myself. Brice executed our project with an approach that kept us informed and engaged every step of the way. The people that came to help him were friendly and professional as well. We did make some last minute changes which did not phase Brice. I am very glad that we chose to work with Brice and am confident that if we have problems or new projects in the future that we can count on him again. I am glad to recommend Let Brice Do It for your similar projects.

Brice just finished the patio and bench wall and I could not be more pleased. I found that my experience mirrors all the positive reviews I had read on Angies List when I was researching companies to do this project. I got 4 quotes and Brice provided not only the lowest cost but he offered the most in what services he provided for my money including the creating a corner that is a half semi-circle and the decorative bench wall. His price also included preparation of the area which included a signifiicant amount of work having to take out hedges and other land scapping, not just clearing grass. All the other companies had an additional charge to do it or I had to do this myself. As far as the experience with him he was always timely, professional and his quality of work is at a very high degree. I also appreciated how well he communicated with me when there are issues and obstacles like delays due to the weather (and it has been raining alot in central Florida). Despite that Brice did a great job in handling everything and finishing the project in a very timely manner. Going forward I would not hesitate to use Brice again as well as recommend him confidently to freinds and family. Brice if your reading this please feel free to use me as a reference and display any pictures of our patio on your Facebook Page.

Icontacted Brice and we set a time for him to meet me for an estimate. He no show no called. I called him back to schedule again, he never acknowledged that he did not show up for the appointment, and we schedule for another time. He no call no showed on that one as well. Will not use his services.

It did not go. No one bothered to contact me back.

Brice and his crew were very professional, had a great attitude and did a great job. His recommendations for paver colors made it easy for us to decide and even brought the samples of bricks to us. He also recommended using polymeric sand to prevent weeds and pests from coming through the bricks (this is a must have). No other quotes we received offered this product. We highly recommend Brice and we love our new patio. We plan to have a brick paver driveway in the future and we'll definitely be calling him.

Brice did an excellent job! When he first came out, he was very thorough, explaining the paving process, and all the details. Brice actually picked out the pavers based on the color of the home. The Courtyard looks amazing! Quite a few of the neighbors gave their seal of approval. The work was well done and the price was right. I would always recommend him for a job.

Brice and father George aka and quot;Let Brice Do it. . .and quot; came highly recommended on AG, so we decided to get an estimate which we felt was very comperable and had no reason to search elsewhere. Brice came out, looked at rear yard/patio, did a quick survey and i told him and quot;it's your canvas, use your magicand quot;. . .and he and George did just that! What a design!---especially for the price! Moved our existing irrigation system pipes, our existing plants and really made our rear patio pop and look great! Extremely satisfied and happy, made our rear patio look and feel much bigger than just the 333 sq ft! We'd recommend them to anyone anytime! Even with a few small detail issues, they went above and beyond to make sure I knew that their priority was that we were totally happy and satisfied with their work. Quality was great, attitude great. Timeliness was great although sometimes mother nature challenged their schedule a bit :) A+ Nice work guys!

I contacted Brice in November by phone when I started thinking of paving a small area in my backyard. I wanted to get pricing and design ideas. I left a voice mail but they never responded. It didn't matter that much as I put the project on hold. When I was ready in April I contacted Brice again, based on reviews, as well as Orlando Brick Pavers. I had an immediate response from OBP but none from Brice. Left another voicemail for Brice. Nothing. I have no idea about the quality of their work, but their responsiveness deserves an F. Maybe they don't need the work, or maybe they don't want smaller jobs under $5K.

There were no surprises and he met the schedule.

Brice did an excellent job and did everything he promised and then some. I think his work was more than professional and so was he. He was very informative and extremily knowledgeable of his job and the work he performed. This was not an easy task with the tree roots that were worse than expected and quite extensive. But, he got the job done! The driveway looks great. Not only would I recommend him to others, but I am going to have him do more work for me in the future. This is a fine, professional young man. I realy can't speak highly enough of him. He is outstanding.

The job went very well. I was concerned about all the water, electric and telephone lines underground in the area of grass where the dog and quot;patioand quot; was to go. Because I was concerned, they hand dug up this area initially to be sure they wouldn't hit any of the lines. The job turned out ever nicer than I expected and my neighbors (and some joggers I don't know who run by our street on occasion) all commented on how great they thought it looked. One neighbor even asked me for Brice's number and talked with him about some work on his driveway. I would definitely use him again. He does good work and puts a lot of care into the whole process, even bringing you samples of the pavers he will use so you can be sure the color is what you have in mind.

The weather and our vacation held up the start of the project, but when it was finally complete, it was a beautiful job. I would not hesitate to hire Brice and George again for any concrete or paver jobs in the future.

We are very happy with the final product and will use this company again.

I found Brice on Angies List. He came and we worked out a design and he provided an estimate with pricing for several options. At this meeting he laid out the procedures for all of the work and agreed to saving the sod. Prior to commencing, we got the necessary building permit and homeowners association approval. When we called to set up an installation date, we specified that we were flexible and would work with him on scheduling. At this time we decided to request in an increase to the size of the fire pit circle from 10 feet to 12 feet and he quoted the increase cost for the pavers. Rain delayed some of his previously scheduled projects so we agreed to begin work sometime in October. All materials had to be brought in manually because of the placement of the house on a pie shaped lot. When they arrived the sod was removed and placed as requested on a hillside sloping down to a fence. The framing for the extended patio was done with great skill. A machine was brought in to tamp down the concrete fine base. The building inspector approved the framing for the patio extension. The concrete finishing work was properly done with the final brushing to leave a textured surface so it would not be slick. The paver installation was amazing to watch. The circle had to have all of the interior edge pavers trimmed individually to create the circle, then the outer circle had each paver trimmed. Then the polysand was swept into the spaces to anchor the pavers and prevent weed growth, followed by a coating of color enhancer. Once work commenced the work was completed in 4 days. The workers were polite, hardworking and very professional. I would definitely use Brice again. As an addendum, We have since put up a screen enclosure and had the patio resurfaced. Both additional vendors complemented us on the excellent quality of the concrete and paver work.

Original service date went fine. However, within three months, the slab cracked down the middle. I called and called, and finally, they showed up, and said they were really busy. I said they could fix the slab when they had time. I thought it would be a month or so. They NEVER CAME BACK to fix the slab, and the crack is still there. It has been a year already, and I'm now looking for someone to redo my driveway, and well, I will NOT be calling them. Very disappointing.

I called several times and he told me he was too busy to help me in a timely manner. He told me he'd come by my home at the end of the month (September) and he never arrived. I was declined sink hole coverage because of this.

I believe that our experience with this contractor is best summarized in the following email exchange [emphasis added]... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: HG Woodward and lt;woodwardhg@yahoo.comand gt; To: and quot;bricenembach@yahoo.comand quot; and lt;bricenembach@yahoo.comand gt; Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 10:33 AM Subject: Re: 1882 Meeting Place - Travertine Paver Installation Brice, Angie's List has asked me to provide them with a detailed report of your work for us. I have drafted a fairly lengthy and detailed account for this job to justify what I believe to be a very poor performance. I would like you to review this report and let me know if you have any comments or revisions before I submit it. I do not want to submit a report that omits material facts or contains erroneous facts, so I need you to respond to this email if you believe that this report is inaccurate. My report is as follows: Based upon very strong endorsements from Angie’s List, I asked this contractor, LET BRICE DO IT CONCRETE and PAVERS, to give me a full quote for a rear patio remodel and travertine paver installation. The paver system was to include sub-layer materials, pavers, fill material, labor, disposing of excess material, and edge restraint. Contractor was to cut and grade area move 1 sprinkler, cap 1 sprinkler and convert three other sprinklers to drip lines. Contractor was to demolish sidewalk, remove and haul concrete. Sand set installation of Travertine pavers 16and quot; x 16and quot; and infill with polymeric sand. On May 16, 2012, the Contractor presented a proposal to do this work for $2,508.00. At that time, the Contractor assured me that he had done installations in our neighborhood before, that he would complete the work in June 2012, and that I would not need HOA approval for the work. All of these statements were inaccurate. In fact, the Contractor had not worked with Travertine pavers, he could not complete the work in June 2012, and I needed to obtain HOA approval for the work. After the HOA approved the work, I contacted the Contractor on July 27, 2012 to make the (50%) down-payment on commence work. At that time, the scope of work was modified so that the contractor was to add square footage (additional $115.00) and provide and install field drain extension and extension on sprinkler system valve encasement (additional $150.00). However, the pricing on the Travertine that was originally quotes also was increased by the Contractor. Therefore, on August 1, 2012, the Contractor presented a new proposal to do this work for $3,314.00. We specifically agreed that the work would be and quot;Done in Augustand quot;. At that time, I paid approximately $1,657.00 down to purchase the Travertine and commence work. Aside from the fact that the Contractor under-bid this job which caused me to reject more reasonable proposals submitted by other contractors for this job, his representation that the work would be completed in August was also inaccurate. In early August the contractor cleared the vegetation. By mid-August, the contractor demolished and removed the sidewalk leaving the work area (high foot traffic area for the family) a hazardous and unsightly work area. As the end-of-August approached, I had several telephone conversations and exchanged numerous text messages with the Contractor regarding scheduling the work, providing a safer work area and completing the work. At this time, the Contractor began making false and misleading representations. The most disturbing statements (and texts) were made to me in late August. At that time, the Contractor represented that he had spent our down-payment to purchase the Travertine. On August 24, 2012, the Contractor wrote: and quot;The travertine is bought waiting for me to pick up i should be on your project thurs. and fri. next week.and quot; This was a demonstrably false and misleading statement. In fact, the travertine was not purchased (with the down-payment money that we provided almost 1-month earlier), and the contractor did not return to our project the following week. Thereafter, the Contractor made numerous other demonstrably false statements and assurances. We have documented no less than 4 instances where this Contractor assured us that he would come on a date specific and then he never showed-up without any forewarning for the cancellation. Ultimately, the travertine was purchased and picked-up by the contractor on or about September 20, 2012, and despite all of the false statements and missed deadlines, the Contractor announced that job was completed on or about September 24, 2012. The work, however, was not completed pursuant to our agreement. For example, he did not convert three sprinklers to drip lines and he did not use restraint material that matches the color of the travertine, nor did he stain the restraint material to match the travertine, among others. [He did not extend the drainage box encasement and he did not extend a sprinkler control valve encasement. Instead, he simply covered these areas with pavers]. Perhaps realizing that the work had not been completed pursuant to our agreement, the Contractor became somewhat aggressive and we caught him attempting to enter into our privacy area for the purposes of confronting us and collecting the final payment. Despite the misleading statements, delays and incomplete work, the Contractor discounted only $20 from the proposed price. We regrettably paid $1,637.00 to the Contractor on September 25, 2012. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: brice nembach and lt;bricenembach@yahoo.comand gt; To: and quot;woodwardhg@yahoo.comand quot; and lt;woodwardhg@yahoo.comand gt; Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 7:08 PM Subject: Re: 1882 Meeting Place - Travertine Paver Installation Got your email today and have never read a more one sided erroneous compilation of reality in my life.

Brice is hard to get in touch with. It takes several calls to get him to call back. Had I not had him do previous work and like his quality of work and price I would've moved on. But since I wasn't in a hurry I didn't mind dealing with this minor inconvenience. He says this is because he is really swamped, so much so that he may have to start hiring people to have more than just 1 crew working. Anyhow, Brice came out and I showed him what we wanted done. Due to his schedule we scheduled the work about a month or more out. Sometime before our scheduled date (can't exactly remember when) he called me one morning while i was at work and said they had the day free so could come out right then. Fortunately my wife was off work that day. They came out and installed retaining blocks the rest of the way around the french drain area (about 33 linear feet). The blocks are 2 high going down to 1 high. They installed a nice pattern for the pavers leading from the door to the retaining blocks. I wish i had been home for one reason because part of my goal was to have the pavers go to the right of the door enough so that when the dog bolts out as soon as it is cracked open he would be on pavers and not running across the river rock which he shoots backwards as he races out into the yard. My wife wasn't really up on this and the design Brice put down was a little different than what he sketched so I thought it'd be ok from the sketch. Anyhow it was easy to resolve by putting a big potted plant in that part of the river rock. It was hilarious the first time I opened the door and the dog tried to bolt out with that plant there. Now the dog uses the pavers. :-)
