Comments: Louis was so incredibly helpful from the estimation process all the way through to project completion. He explained everything he planned to do to solve my landscape drainage issue and his design not only works great and has eliminated my problem entirely, but it looks fabulous too! It was such a pleasure to work with a contractor that had my best interests in mind and truly cared about my satisfaction. I would absolutely hire Louis and his crew again.

Comments: Louis provided a fair estimate for masonry work and impressed me with his knowledge of the subject and his approach to solving our problem. Our front porch brickwork was in bad need of repointing and his worker, Ricardo did an excellent, beautiful job. Louis and his brother, Frank, finished off the project by resurfacing the concrete portion of the porch. Very pleased with every aspect of this company?s work. Will use again when needed.

Comments: It was good to see how the employees working on my project would discuss any questions I had. Their explanations to my questions were in great detail as to what was being done and why. A hard working team was what I saw. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone and would use them again. Cost quoted was fair even though they were asked to do a little extra by the owner with no extra charge! Have high confidence in this company for your next job.

Comments: We hired Louis and his crew from Approved Construction to remove our old damaged retaining wall and install new block retaining walls along our driveway, paver walk to the front door, concrete walk to the back yard and pave the driveway. Louis quoted me the best price and he was courteous, professional and always available to discuss the project.

Comments: Louis quoted me the best price to repair my paver driveway and blue stone porch. He installed belgian blocks in addition to the repair of the bricks. His team was very courteous and cleaned up the property at the end of each day they were here. The project was completed in a very timely manner and Louis was on time as promised each day. He called me before the project to see if I had any questions and followed up with me during the project. My driveway looks brand new even though the pavers are 20 years old. Very happy I found Louis and would recommend him and rehire him for additional projects at my home.

Comments: Louis and his team repaired my basement slab that had sunk 6 inches in one corner. The floor in this corner was so uneven with the rest of the slab that I needed to place pieces of wood under furniture to level it out . Louis provided me repair options and what he would do if it was his house. I went with his recommendation and I couldn't be happier. My only regret is that I didn't hire Louis earlier. He and his team were professional, courteous and provided First Class "old school" craftsmanship. I would be more than happy to recommend Louis and his team to anyone requiring concrete work.

Comments: We had Louis install a new retaining wall, stairs, walkway and widen our driveway. We are extremely happy with the results. Louis offered the best price compared to other contracters we got quotes from. He understood what we wanted and even came up with suggestions to increase the curb appeal. There was communication throughout the renovation when there needed to be. Louis was knowledgeable and constructed everything properly to code and the crew was hard working and paid attention to detail. We had a great experience with the renovation and highly recommend Louis.

Comments: Louis and team installed a paver patio and walkway for us. Louis was very easy to reach during the bid process, and visited the house several times as we negotiated. The work was completed a few days later than anticipated, but that was because of the weather. Louis kept me informed every day. He called every morning to let me know what the crew was going to do, and then in the evening to let me know how the day went. Louis also fixed a loose railing on my porch, though it was not something that was in the contract. The team also fixed some minor items after the initial install was done. Louis was very clear that they would keep working until everything was to my satisfaction and they definitely delivered on that promise. I am very happy with the way everything went, and do not hesitate to reccomend them for any work.

Review Date: 11/11/2016 | Author: Gabriella N.

Comments: Approved Construction is very easy to work with and customer satisfaction remains one of their highest priorities. My paver walkway project had to begin and be completed before I began a period of extended travel. Louis, along with his crew jumped through hoops and finished my job on time and with several weeks to spare. I was asked each day if I was satisfied with the work that was done and if I had any issues they were quickly addressed and resolved. I recommend Approved Construction very highly and will use them again for any masonry needs that arise.

Comments: They did all they said they would, and more! Louis and the team at Approved Construction helped me with a new set of front steps quickly, expertly and neatly. They even touched up a couple other items around the house with me even asking. Louis, a man of his word, explained the whole job in simple terms and was very approachable and easy to speak with when I had questions along the way. I'm very pleased with the final result(s).

All cleaned up nicely. Highly recommended.

Comments: The Guys at Approved Construction are hard working and conscientious. I challenged them with the full restoration of a four-story, one hundred year old masonry building that needed sophisticated concrete restoration, water-proofing and two color paint on the entire outside. Additionally, they helped me with concrete floor repair, block wall construction and Bilco door installation. I can't recommend any team higher than Louis and his group. I almost didn't hire them because they were the lowest of three bids, but I can definitely say I got an excellent job at a very reasonable price.

Comments: I hired Approved Construction LLC to perform some foundation repair work. About me, I find myself to be a detailed oriented with a pretty good understanding of home related projects. I grew up in a 1920s colonial and my present home is from 1860. I worked on my childhood home with my parents and now have done many improvements personally. About Approved LLC, for my multi-week project Approved partnered with Hardcore Construction. Approved is run by a “gentle giant” Lou and Hardcore, Mike. In my opinion, which should be taken with grain of salt, as I am not in the business, Approved and Hardcore are best for masonry work. I believe this is how Lou got his start. Mike worked on sky scrapers. I will mention I believe Approved is capable of other home projects although I have no experience with this other work outside masonry. The project started working with Lou and I moved relatively quickly to solely working with Mike. Lou and Mike are a great balance. Lou very gentle and Mike a bit more direct. The work was done well, timely, and on budget. The team worked well together. The executors were very pleasant and well mannered. One worker offered many times to help my wife with groceries, etc. I ended up just leaving the workers to complete the job unattended under Mikes care. Some project notes: The team was able to quickly adapt my change in requirements. To give you an example, we had a signed contact and quickly adjusted the scope of work to something different. Approved took the change very well, even returning materials no longer required. The job has now been complete about 3 weeks. I have had some minor issue. Mike has been attentive returning to my home to correct minor issues quickly and tentatively. This is even after the final payment was made to Approved. Overall, I am satisfied with the work and would recommend Approved.

Comments: Louis was extremely accommodating and gave me the best price out of any contractor. My father in law (retired now) had 43 years in the contractor and building field, he said Louis and approved contruction did the best mason work he has ever seen. That is huge coming from my father in law. My wife and I are building a modular home within the next year (after closing on the house we are currently selling) and plan on using approved construction LLC to build our foundation. His price can't be beat!

Comments: I typically do my own work so going to a contractor was new for me. Louis was prompt in making initial contact. Came out the next morning to scope the job and provided a very reasonable estimate. His team showed up first thing in the morning on the scheduled day and worked very hard for two full days on the job. The work was particularly challenging due to the obstructions they needed to frame around but everything turned out very professional looking. His team were friendly, trustworthy and cleaned up the job site nicely at the end of each day. I couldn't have been happier and am evaluating them for additional work opportunities. Thanks for a very good experience!

Comments: I wanted to write this review after Lou Demary from Approved Construction had done work for us at our home about two weeks ago. Due to the holiday season this review is overdue. One morning my husband went down the basement to see water coming through cracks in our concrete basement steps. He starting mopping, using the wet vac and keeping towels around and on the stairs that had to be wrung out in my machine every 3-4 hours. We did not know what to do but I did remember that I had used Home Advisors before with success. I emailed HA and asked for someone who could help with my problem. HA recommend a few contractors who did basement waterproofing. We were impressed with Approved Construction and all the great reviews on line. I called him right away on Sunday morning and he responded quickly. Since he only lived 10 minutes away he said he would be at my home shortly. He assessed the situation and he said he would come the next day with someone since it was going to rain on Tuesday for a couple of days???????????????????????? We were very grateful. Lou repaired the damage and told us to monitor the water when it rained and to call him if we needed further assistance. There was a few small areas that required further assistance and Lou came back the very next day and took care of the problem as promised. Yea, the job was complete and I can????????????????????????t tell you how wonderful it is not to see water on the stairs! Lou????????????????????????s work was of the highest standards and his price was very fair for the work done. We are very grateful and would not hesitate to use him again for any further work we may need.

Comments: Louis and his crew came in when he said they would. Tackled the job with a tight deadline, suggested a garden wall we had not thought about and now the patio area looks bigger and better than what we had in mind. The job came in above budget, but it was worth it. The only things left to be finished is the addition of the locking sand and stones have to be sealed. This job was done with blue stone and roman cobblestone. Will post a picture when fully completed.

Comments: My job was complex, difficult and labor intensive. I requested an estimate to repair loose mortar in my brick sidewalk and walls, Louis did an assessment and provided a professional recommendation that had a slight increase in cost but yielded an exponential improvment in the outcome!! He finished on time and for the estimated cost. Will definitely have him back when I have more work to do!!

Comments: They showed up on time, worked until the job was done. Very talented people. Protected sensitive areas (plants). Asked if they could do something before doing (removing garden fence) no problem. Louis explained what and how they were going to do the job. This is very comforting. His workers are very talented, the evidence is in the finished product. By the way this was the only mason to respond through homeadvisor. I had other quotes and Louis had the best price and confirmed problem with his experience. Q--Yes I would recommend Approved Construction, LLC to anyone who asks.

Comments: Approved was excellent in the quickness of their response. Louis was very accommodating in his willingness to work to a short time-line. His scheduled appointment to do the jobe was made for the next day and after a short review of the project over the phone, he came prepared to do the work and finished in two hours. The great part of this is that since this was for my son's house, when he told me about the completed work he said it was execllent and that Approved was very professional in their preparation as well as when the job was done! They did an excellent job, the wall looks great and they totallly cleaned up after their work. Great!

Comments: Louis arrived when he said he would and did a quality job. He explained what he would be doing before he started the job and we were able to follow him every step of the way so we know he did the work he told he would do. The project was delayed by rain,but Louis called every day and as soon as the weather cleared he was back to finish the job. If the weather had cooperated, the job would have been done in 2 days just as Louis said it would be. Nice guy and good work. I would gladly recommend Louis and Approved Construction.

Comments: Louis and the pros at Approved Construction truly went above and beyond on this project. They completed it quickly and perfectly with absolutely no hassle to me the homeowner. This was a job for foundation repair/re-masonry, window installation and power washing, all of which came out great. On top of that, they replaced some pavers they had moved to do the job and put them back in far better shape than they had found them. We all know good contractors can be hard to find, finding great ones even more so. These guys were great - I highly reccomend Approved Construction.
