Excellent experience with Cary. He was on time, clear, communicative, and wonderfully knowledgable. He also wasn't phased when the electrical inspector upped his requirements. Cary knows all the tricks of the trade due to his many years of experience . He also brought his waterproofing expertise to sealing in the conduit.
Description of Work: Dug trench, laid electrical conduit, and refilled trench.

Cary is the contractor all contractors hope to be and every homeowner wishes they called. Cary answers phone calls, returns texts and is on time. I originally called Cary for basement waterproofing help, and we decided I could do it myself and he gave me the company to buy everything at. I then called him to do the concrete pouring for my Garage, and decided it would be best if he also did the site work, so the site would be prepped accordingly for the pour after construction. Fast forward... He did a beautiful job and is an incredible talent with the backhoe / excavator. He even was able to drag and place some larger stones on my property to help me start the retaining wall. Furthermore, Cary fit me in immediately and let me buy the fill directly so I might save money. The site looks great and the builders arrive Monday.
Description of Work: Site work for a 1800 sq. ft. garage... Excavation, Grading and Fill.

Cary was very responsive to my initial inquiry and provided an initial estimate after measuring the job. He was here every day (no days off) and completed the job in a very thorough and professional manner. He also offered his professional opinion and expertise regarding any finishing touches I might want to add in terms of landscape design (border plantings, lighting, etc.). He also offered his thoughts regarding maintenance of the pavers as well as various other do's and don'ts. The job was completed on time within the estimate and adds a great deal of "curb appeal" to the property.
Description of Work: Excavated existing walkway, relocated drain, installed 400 sq ft of paver walkway.

I contacted Wagner Construction about repairing or demo'ing concrete steps. Being outside of the area he typically works in (and asking about work that isn't typically done by him), he put me in touch with a contractor who would be able to help me out. I will recommend that friends outside of the area that need work done contact him for an estimate

He was behind on all his work because of all the bad weather, but came when he could. The work was finished within two weeks. He felt bad because we had to wait, and came with loom to fill in where the cement truck gouged our lawn. He even raked it all out. I thought that was very considerate and went beyond what we asked for. The steps and walkway look great!!

I researched on Angie's List for replacing cement stairs. I called Mr. Wagner and he returned my call promptly. We discussed what I wanted to have done. He came to my house the next morning and looked over the property then called back on the same day to discuss his findings and price. He mentioned it wasn't warm enough to lay cement and we should wait one more week when the weather forecast was expected to be warmer, as I agreed. The following week the weather was warmer and he arrived and started the job promptly. In two days he was finished, and it looks beautiful. The stairs and walkways are not the typical plain cement but outlined nicely all around on the outside. He suggested the patio be oval rather than round because it would fit our outside table better, which I agreed. We have had alot of compliments on his work. I highly recommend Wagner and would definitely use him in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced front stairs and walkway. Replaced side of house walkway. Added patio in backyard.

It was Cousins Cement Contractors that was the sub-contractors Anthony and David Scialo 401 516 0324 were very thorough and clean. They where very concerned about noise, convenience for my mother and neatness. I would hire them again, they went over and above with the job.

We really had been let down by Home Depot who sold us the laminate flooring. When they came to install it, their contractor said that the flooring could not be laid because the floor was uneven, then left ! We had no idea what to do, some contractors advised one thing, some another, most were uninterested. However when we telephoned Wagner (after consulting Angies list) he said he could help even though he had to travel a good way to get to us, and from this very first contact we felt really comfortable, and relieved! He and his assistant arrived punctually, they determined the areas which were not level, determined the best course of action and did it that day, They were very helpful and professional.
Description of Work: They leveled an uneven concrete floor to enable the installation of Laminate flooring.

They are a good company. He knows his stuff. He is very good. He helped me out with some new laws regarding excavation. When I checked with the city in Providence, they confirmed the laws. He is reasonable. There a lot of things that is needed to be done and he helped me through it. He is concerned about the floor that I have in front of our house. He was going to protect the roots and he will bury them again after the job. The reason I chose him because he is local. He always calls if he couldn’t make it on time. He is very good about that. He is a down to earth person. He is a kind of guy who makes his hands dirty and I like that. People want a fair deal and I think he did do that. He helps you understand what you have to do to get them moving forward. He is professional to the point of being a businessman but he is not so professional that he makes you feel like he is up above of you. He is not that kind of person. He is the flexible kind of a guy.
Description of Work: Wagner Construction gave me a quote to do excavating. His plumber is going to put in the meter and run the water for the house. He is going through 2 foundations at our house.

We contacted three contractors through Angie's List. The first declined to visit our property and gave a quote over the phone. The second visited and said a quote would be forthcoming but that quote has yet to be received. Mr. Wagner, the third contractor, came the day after our initial phone conversation. He was very personable and helpful in his analysis of the situation and its solution. He verbally offered his estimate of cost and time required for the work and emailed the same information that same day. We decided to use his firm and were scheduled and repaired within a few days. Mr. Wagner contacted us to make sure the day and time worked for us. The crew came promptly, worked efficiently, and left the property in excellent order. They were cheerful and cordial gentlemen, polite at all times, hard workers and a pleasure to meet. We are very satisfied with the repair and very impressed by Mr. Wagner and his employees. We would use his services again and recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Repaired a crack in our 1930 era home's poured concrete foundation. This required hand excavation of the exterior foundation to the level of the initiation of the crack; application of an exterior patch; interior repair of the cement crack and refilling the excavated hole.

Cary was fantastic. He responded promptly to our request for a quote. He was courteous and professional and when we decided to have him do the work he wasted no time ordering the supplies and scheduling the work. Once they started installing the patio they worked every day until it was completed and made sure it was exactly what we wanted. The result is beautiful! I highly recommend Wagner Construction.

Description of Work: Took advantage of the big deal. Had a small sinkhole in my driveway. I could have hired him to do the job for $700.00 but he gave me the information to do the job myself. Toured the outside of my property and gave me suggestions to think about. No pressure. May use his ideas and call for updated shrub and tree removal.

I purchased the Angie's List Big Deal coupon $39.99 for Fieldstone, Poured Concrete or Cinder Block Foundation Inspection. Mr Wagner called me the same night to setup an appointment. I was very pleased at the response time, I've purchased Angie's List coupons in the past where you end up chasing down the vendor trying to make an appointment. Luckily Wagner Construction is not one of those types of contractors. Mr. Wagner came out and performed the inspection of my foundation and provided me with a detailed report of areas that need attention. He provided me with some tips on things I could do myself, as well as contractors names for other things I need fixed like replacement windows for my basement. While he was there I also asked him for some information on hardscaping and a retaining wall for my front yard. Mr Wagner provided me with a catalog and several stores where I could pick out stones and pavers. Overall I was very pleased with the service I received and will definitely consider using Wagner Construction for future projects.

Received an estimate within 24 hours. Price was considerably lower than several other "major" companies. They worked into the night to avoid bad weather on fourth day. Completely professional and courteous. We were very happy with the quality and care and price. Would use Cary again and recommend to anyone. Thanks Wagner Construction!
