Ricky and his crew resurfaced our deck and did a great job. They had to remove this old plaster epoxy type paint, and repair some concrete defects before resurfacing. Prompt, quick, and reliable. Very experienced and knowledgeable. Stands by his work.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Di. It’s wonderful to hear that you were pleased with the resurfacing of your deck and the attention given to repairing the concrete and removing the old coating. Your kind words about the crew’s reliability and expertise mean a lot.

In my search for a professional, I found a review that characterized Ricky's style as "old school." That's where I stopped reading and started dialing. Ricky answered and listened to me describe the project. I was disappointed that Ricky advised me to take another route. What he did NOT do was try to sell me on something that I did not need or want. Thanks, Ricky! I hope we'll have the chance to work together one of these days!

I am close to rehiring Ricky to do another job and realized I never gave a review on his work. He epoxied my garage floor in Oct 2021. He is an old school artisan using the latest, best quality products. He stands by his work. I was waiting to give a review until after 6 months and forgot...Ricky is the only person I would use for work like this...good dude. Looking forward to having my pool deck coated
