Dan and his team built us a gorgeous custom cocktail pool. Dan was professional, thorough and great to work with. He ensured we received exactly what we wanted. We absolutely love our spa. Dan showed us how to maintain the spa and is always available for questions. I know he does pools and other outdoor living projects and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to make their backyard dreams come true! Exceptional customer service!

After searching months for someone to rebuild the floor under our roofed patio I stumbled across Dan searching stamped concrete. Amazingly I received a callback from him the same day. This was as much a construction project as was it concrete job in order to preserve the roof and a full foundation underneath. The moment I spoke with Dan I felt confident that he was the only person we had dealt with not "afraid" to tackle our job. As with all renovation jobs, unexpected things came up and he was not shaken and quickly found ways to correct those problems. I couldn't be happier now that the project
