Highly Recommend! We are truly grateful for Chip and his crew in helping us get settled in our retirement home. What a fantastic experience from the initial contact, to the quote process, to the actual work performed, and the very careful cleanup when finished. We truly appreciated Chips ongoing communication to keep us updated on the schedule, never once missing a commitment with us (job was completed within 8 days of initial contact). Overall cost was great, too! You are wasting your time with other concrete contractors Call Chip next time you need concrete work done!

Chip installed my patio 7 years ago. When I needed a new driveway I knew that I could count on his experience and professionalism. I'm very happy that I chose him and his team because they did a great job!

My son who is in a wheelchair was moving in with me so I needed to redo the sidewalk to have a smaller incline and to widen it. Nicholas Concrete gave us a very reasonable estimate. His team did an excellent job with the sidewalk. I am very pleased and will definitely use them again the next time I need concrete work done.

Highly recommend Chip and his crew. The parking pad and sidewalk extension look amazing. Chip went above and beyond to ensure that existing drainage was intact/repaired and matched the work he completed over 20 years ago. Clean up was done as needed along with new soil and seeding. Very satisfied
