Steve was very detailed in his first visit spending time and answering all our questions. Following his presentation and estimate that was soon to follow work began as soon as the weather was warm enough. Once work began every step of the process was competed in a timely and thoroughly professional manner. Care was taken to protect our property and the workers from the somewhat caustic process. First the site was leveled with a large backhoe, forms were put in place, concrete was poured colored red the brick color we wanted. Next a black nasty looking powerer was applied by Steve wearing protective gear. Then the amazing part- using forms about 1 X 2 feet the image of recycled brick the concrete really starts to look like brick. The forms are put in place and then Steve stands on them moving around the patio area. Next was washing the black compound revealing a seemingly random pattern of reclaimed brick. Then the black compound is washed off leaving a grey color that perfectly mimics grout and imperfections in the indentations. The last step was done in two parts- two applications of protective sealer that give the and quot;brickand quot; a finished looked that can't be beat. The reaction of everyone that has seen the patio is and quot;That can't be concrete!and quot; This was a most pleasurable experience from beginning to end. Steve is very personable and takes time to chat. He was always right on time and on budget. The work he and his crew do is akin to art. I highly recommend Steve for this and any other construction needs that he specializes in. $5,000 might seem pricy until he see the process first hand and then the results.
