The patio extension looks nice and was completed quickly for a good price. My only complaint is that with the wet weather the day before they left behind some significant ruts in the lawn. I'll have to rototill and re-seed those areas later this summer.

Rory and team did an unbelievable job, they communicated clear expectations and job timeline and executed the job to perfection. The walkway and patio looks amazing, clean lines, beautiful color and stamp, it will be the focal point of our backyard for years to come. The were courteous and respectful, showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves. I've already recommended them to a friend and would absolutely hire them again.

Gardner Construction provided a project estimate one day after contacting them. Scott walked through options and provided honest recommendations for the garage floor and foundation repair that was needed. Any questions I had regarding the process or estimate were answered promptly. Gardner (Scott and crew) did an outstanding job replacing the garage floor and deteriorated foundation cinder blocks. The crew showed up early every day, were polite and respectful and got right to work. They went above and beyond in how they conducted their work and explained the process and improvements they were making to do the job right. The job site was kept organized and they cleaned up very well after they were completed each day. The entire crew was trusting, professional and knowledgeable - and aimed for quality and perfection. Highly recommend!
Description of Work: A new garage floor and foundation repair was needed. The concrete was cracked terribly in many places.

It went great for 10+ years. The top of the retaining wall is starting to lean so we had them out to get an estimate on repair. Turns out, from the owners down to the sales rep 'we don't do walls higher than 3 feet'. Well at one time they did and now they are not willing to work on a solution for fixing it. We understand that a wall over 10+ years old is past its warranty but I would expect if they did the work --- they would want to make it right. Stay away from these guys . . . .

Response from Gardner Construction Inc
The company has new ownership and staff since the original work was completed in 2010 and retaining walls are no longer a focus of our business, nor our area of greatest expertise. We weren't the right contractors for this project and we responded to the inquiry directly and honestly. Gardner Construction absolutely stands by our work. A business providing a different set of services a decade later is not the same as refusing to stand by our work. Our sales staff won't bid something we can't stand behind and that is why we wouldn't take this job.

The appraisal on my prospective purchase of 120 year old house found very serious foundation problems. A nightmare. Then I found Jerry Gardner and his Gardner Construction company. Jerry inspired my confidence immediately. He clearly demonstrates his decades of experience and knowledge, and has a true dedication and work ethic. His friendly work crew holds Jerry in such high regard; they offer a team that is truly remarkable. Not only did they leave my foundation solidly, perfectly repaired and protected from future damage, it also looked beautiful! I give the highest possible recommendation of Gardner Construction.
Description of Work: Foundation repair on a house built in 1900; replaced a 20 foot old wooden beam and cracked supports with a new steel beam and a row of new 4by4s; rebuilt a basement wall that had rotted from outside moisture, solved any future problems by routing rain water away from the house; recommended a gutter be installed which was an additional water damage risk. Very thorough, effective solution. The foundation inspector gave him very high marks.

After dealing with a leak in one corner of our basement for over 20 years we finally decided to do something about it and called Gardner Construction to come take a look. Jake was great and suggested a couple solutions to our problem. We had them put drain tile in our basement and replace part of aggregate sidewalk to keep the water away from the foundation. They came and everyone was courteous and very professional. Jake and Cole were very patient with me and all of my questions. They did a terrific job, they were able to dig into the basement floor while keeping the dust to a minimum which kept the rest of the house clean, made sure to clean up after their work and the aggregate they put down was beautiful. Gardner Construction was awesome and I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone who needed their services.

Our small HOA has used Gardner Construction 4 times over the years for a variety of projects. Their work and pricing were excellent. We would easily recommend them to others! They worked creatively to address and solve our water damage problems, and they were reassuringly responsive even in the “off-season” and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We did not have to completely replace the side staircase or redo the basement entrance for both instances. They were able to rein-enforce, repair and resurface these deteriorated and previously moss covered and crumbling concrete areas. It was handled in 1.5 days. Very professional, kind and capable employees. Left the sight very clean and did a spectacular job on the repairs. The areas look like new entrances. Very well done! The price was great as well. No complaints. We’re very pleased with this company and will be using them again.
Description of Work: We needed concrete repair on a high platform side entrance to our home that had a big chunk missing from the side. We also needed extensive wall retention, repair and resurfacing surrounding the staircase from our walkout basement entry. Both areas were badly deteriorating.

I called and asked if they could do an estimate and the operator said that she would check schedules and send me a text message. I waited two days and then called back. She apologized and said that someone could be out the next morning and that she would text me details about the arrival time. I never received a text and no one stopped by my house the next day. I have now had to take my time to research other companies to find someone else to do the estimate.

Fantastic!! They knew exactly what caused the problems and had an excellent plan to correct the problems. Very professional crew. They completed the job in a very timely manner. They were also extremely careful in protecting our yard from the equipment they needed to use. They had a large crew and did a great job of clean up as well. I will call them first for any future projects.

They were responsive in giving me an estimate and in doing the work, in spite of the number of houses having similar problems in this very rainy summer. Price was right (in line with others who provided estimates) and the crew did the work quickly and well. Took the time to call me down to the basement a couple of times as they worked to show me what they were doing and explain what they'd do next. I really appreciated that kind of customer service and friendliness!
Description of Work: Corner of the basement was starting to leak after rain; they installed drain tile in that corner to fix the problem.

[Member Name Removed], I am sorry about this miscommunication. As I looked back through our Angie's requests and messages, I did not see your name. We have also been extremely busy with water calls as well, leaving us missing a couple people at times. I'm sorry this happened to you but if you would like to call the office, I can help you get an appt. scheduled. Our office number is 952-431-9970.
