Project: Construction of a Retaining Wall and Repair of Front Steps
Working with Four Hands Masonry & Paving was a pleasure and I am very happy with the quality of the
work they completed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and look forward to working with
them in the future.
Quality – First and foremost, the work looks amazing and was completed even better than planned. The
construction of the retaining wall was completed in accordance with the Village permitting process, and
candidly, the Village has stringent requirements, Four Hands worked within the Village requirements
and at each stage of construction the inspection process was cleared without any problems or
challenges. At the end of the final inspection, the village inspector approached me and commented how
the drainage system that Four Hands installed in the retaining wall was above and beyond what the
engineer’s plans required and will improve the longevity of the wall in the long term.
Ease of work – From the very beginning Gerson was easy to communicate with in terms of requirements
and was very responsive to all questions. He was always up front about requirements, things I needed
to do and when things would happen. His construction team was always timely and worked diligently
each day. As noted above, we worked through the Village’s permit process and Gerson/Four Hands
helped navigate the process.
Other – I obtained numerous quotes from other vendors, and the pricing was very reasonable compared
to other vendor quotes. Seeing the quality received, I know I received a lot of good value. Finally, I let It
be known early In the process that I was hoping to minimize damage to my lawn from the construction
and Four Hands did their best to minimize. Much of the work was done manually, which was less
impactful to the lawn, when it was clear that the Company could have just brought in a bunch of heavy
equipment that would have devastated my yard (and many of the other vendors I received quotes from
at higher prices were clear they would have done so). I can’t thank Gerson and team enough for taking
care of our property In the process.
As stated above, I would highly recommend four Hands to anyone.
Regards,
Shane and Christina B.
