Avoid Toms Caroll Construction!!
Pros: Tom has been in business for years. He has a crew of employees, not subcontractors. Hes personable.
Cons: His workmanship is bare minimum at best.
Tom and his crew installed a new foundation, to replace the original brick foundation in our Victorian home. If you are like us, getting a new foundation is a once-in-a-lifetime event, which means you dont know what you dont know nor what to research. Consequently, you research the credibility of the contractor, and then put your confidence in him. Hopefully my review herein will help

Tom did a great job on my foundation. I have a 1897 Victorian and he removed all the bricks and build a cement foundation without having to move out. Work was clean and efficient, $30K less than the closest bid. Easy to work with, but you have to wait. Definitely recommend.

Carroll Contruction replaced our driveway last summer and did a terrific job. The new driveway has held up perfectly. Cleanup after the project was meticulous. We are hoping to work with this company again on more home improvement projects!
