I love my new sidewalk (front steps to driveway). Max was so patient with me as I decided on different options for the project. He and his team did an excellent job. They went above and beyond by doing some landscaping on either side of the sidewalk and did a great job of cleaning up.

Max runs a great cement work business. I had a small segment of my driveway that needed replacement. He treated me like I had a large project. He assured everything was done well, he kept things clean and at a reasonable price.
