Mike designed & engineered a basement walkout for our home. He and his crew modified the patio around the walkout allowing for better access and use of our patio. He also set drainage lines underground to aid in removing surface and subsurface water from around the house. The job went extremely well. There were numerous challenges with the walkout location and Mike and his crew met every challenge exceeding expectations. It was a great experience!
