C & N Construction

C&N totally rebuilt and replaced my front stoop and walkway. Combination brick and slate. I am very pleased with finished product. I found them straightfoward and easy to work with.

I just had my stone patio rebuilt by C&N Construction and they did an excellent job. The design was beautiful and the workmanship very good. Great attention to detail. The workmen were polite and worked very hard to get the job done in the amount of time quoted. I received a very fair price for a job well done. Sometimes they are slow to answer emails, but overall I found them to be a pleasure to work with. I would certainly hire them again.

I can’t really give C&N an adequate review because they never showed up for the consultation. Sandra Esteves (customer service rep) scheduled Cesario (their designer) to come out at 1pm. We agreed that time worked perfectly. Then @ 9am the day of, we received an email, while at a volleyball game asking if we could move it up till 10am. We said no and they never showed at 1pm. We followed up two weeks later for a status update and to resked the appointment and they were non-​responsive. We have since followed up (3) times but still no response.
But we have a friend, who’s neighbor used them and their yard looks flawless, so they apparently do great work, if you can get them to ever come out (smile).

I’ve used C&N Construction for 3 large projects over the past 2 years and have been very pleased with their work. The first project was a complete bathroom renovation that was completed on time and under budget! The bathroom turned out beautifully and I have received many complements on their craftsmanship. The second project was a new driveway which I’ve been told is very well done by others in the trade. Most recently they leveled our yard, built a retaining wall and planted sod. Again, the work turned out beautifully. We sought out several quotes for our first project and though they didn’t come in as the lowest bid, C&N was able to work us into the schedule and came highly recommended from other clients. There is a slight language barrier with some of the workers however there has always been a supervisor on sight that was able to answer any questions I had. I have recommended this company to many and all have been very happy with their work. I will continue to use them and recommend them for any home improvement project.

I had C & N put in a new concrete walkway for our home. First, let me state, I am not in construction and didn’t know anything about concrete work until reading up on it. But after booking up in one week, it became apparent I knew more about proper concrete work than this guy, and how many years of experience does he have? And due to language or listening issues, he didn’t follow my directions totally. But I went with him because neighbors recommended him. Advice — don’t ask neighbors or friends for recommendations unless you are 100% sure they know what good work is. Many people are easy to please and don’t know any better.
Anyway, back to the job. When they set up the wood forms (2 x 4s), I noticed one was warped and mentioned it. He said no big deal, he’d take care of it. He did not, so the sidewalk is bowed slightly in that one section. Then a month or so after they’re done with the job, I noticed that the vast majority of perpendicular seams are not squarely perpendicular to the sides of the walkway, they’re slanted. His crew must have eyeballed doing them. Finally, they made the slight slope for drainage of water going toward the higher side of my yard versus not following the natural slope of the yard and so orienting it toward that side. The only props I’ll give is that the concrete was mixed well — strong and uniform and that he and the crew are really nice people and the job reasonably priced.

DISHONEST
We had the original half of our driveway replaced at the end of June 2010. The adjacent other half of the driveway was constructed just 2 years ago. One of the panels on the 2 year old side had a short crack in it, maybe 1′ long. We did not choose to replace the entire driveway since half of it was fairly new. When the work on the old half was complete, I noticed the crack on the 2 year old side now spans the entire width of the panel, about 11′ across! I phoned Cesario and he refused to even come and look at it-​said it was there when he began the work and nothing his guys did caused the crack to extend across the entire panel. Won’t recommend C&N or use ever again!
