The concrete work is excellent. The 3 car garage is just as we planned; Steve added LED automatic exterior lighting, 3 electric garage door openers and 3 French drains with grates set in the driveway to prevent standing water. The retaining wall matches our stone house. Steve hand built new wooden doors for the stone garage that make it look like an old fashion coach house. The Grandkids adore the Hex Shed which has interior paneled walls, electric outlets and lighting, its sure better to look at from our dining room windows than an old cistern.
Description of Work: #1. Pour 76ft concrete driveway with 2ft stone retaining wall. #2. Pour 3 level concrete garage pad. #3. Build 3 car garage with French drains, electrical outlets and lighting in each stall. #4. Grade entire building lot for water run off, level garage pad and driveway. #5. Build new doors for old stone garage and add French drains. #6. Build Hex Shaped Garden Shed with raised floor and Dutch door on existing Hex Shaped Pad over old cistern. Steve is the owner of Absolute Improvement, the Hex Shed was his idea when we asked him how to coverup the old cistern. #7. Add Leaf Cover to all rain gutters; House, Stone Garage and new 3 car Garage.

Four light fixtures with pull switches installed to allow for less electricity usage when all are not needed. 5 outlets installed throughout the basement to allow power tools to be used wherever needed. New caulking improved look of tub and shower. All drywall repair done well. Rounded L shaped driveway with gravel bedding and rebar; Looks great and blends well into original driveway. Rainy weather caused some delays on concrete pour but other projects completed in a timely manner. Crew was very responsive to my very picky opinion on their caulking in the 2nd floor tub and shower.
Description of Work: Additional light fixtures and outlets for our unfinished basement. Drywall repair in kitchen and bath on 1st floor. On 2nd floor install plumbing access door in bath, remove old Caulk in shower and tub and apply new caulking. Grade area for driveway extension. Pour concrete "L" shaped driveway extension, 30ft on outside, 20ft on the inside, connecting from current driveway to public street.

I needed my Mother's house prepped to be sold. Absolute Improvement was hired to repair nail holes and paint, her entire 8 room house. We were happy with the job and how quickly it was completed. While waiting for the house to sell, the retainer wall on the patio collapsed during a heavy rain. Again, we contacted Absolute Improvement, they hauled away the old wall debris and constructed a much more beautiful wall in its place. What great guys! and the reasonable price impressed me too. We'll call them again when our own house needs repair. Mom's house sold quickly with the new attractive retaining wall that really improved the look of the patio.
Description of Work: I needed my Mother's 50 year old house prepped to be sold.

Response from Absolute Improvement
We performed various jobs for this customer with our "no money up front" policy on smaller jobs. The work was completed to customer's specifications and we were told there were other jobs that needed to be completed and that we would be called back to perform. After eight months of billing no correspondence of any kind was received from this customer. The lien was used as a method of collecting the outstanding balance plus accrued interest. Finally with all other means exhausted we were forced to file a lawsuit for a state maximum of $5,000 which is much less than the balance on the account in July of 2013 over a year and half after the work was completed. I noticed that this customer has also used a false name in her review. Her real name is[member name removed] not [other name]. Contractors beware.
