Customer Reviews

"Doug gave us a fixed quote and that's exactly what we paid. No surprises at all. The driveway looks exactly like what he described on the walk-through. The tie-in to our garage apron is perfect — you'd never know it wasn't poured at the same time. Wouldn't use anyone else."

"We'd had bad experiences with two other contractors before we called Blanco. Night and day difference. Job site was clean every day. They tied into our existing flagstone path with no visible seam. Communication was clear throughout — no chasing Doug for updates."

"Doug knows the Village HOA requirements cold. He handled the ARB submission and we were approved first try. The stamped concrete looks outstanding — exactly the ashlar slate pattern we had in mind. Color held up perfectly through the first NC summer."

"We had a significant grade issue in the backyard that had been a drainage problem for years. Doug walked the property, recommended a two-tier retaining wall approach, and explained exactly how the drainage would be handled. The wall went in exactly as described. The drainage problem is solved."

"Old driveway was about 22 years old and had heaved in two places. Doug told us upfront it needed replacement, not repair — and explained why in plain terms. The demo and haul-off happened in one day. New pour the next week. Price didn't change from the quote."

"The patio came out exactly as planned. Doug was on-site for the pour and the site was spotless when the crew left. Our neighbor commented on how clean the work area was compared to other contractors she'd seen work on the street. That said a lot."

"Needed a slab for a new workshop. Doug coordinated with my building supplier on anchor bolt placement, pulled the permit without me having to do anything, and poured on schedule. Exactly the kind of contractor you want when you're managing a project yourself."

"We were on the fence about stamped concrete vs regular poured. Doug laid out the honest maintenance requirements and let us decide. We went with stamped. It's been two years and it still looks great. He gave us a written maintenance schedule which we've followed."

"Doug found a conduit running across our driveway area that we didn't know was there. Dealt with it without making it our problem. The project came in on time and on price. That kind of situational awareness is why we've referred three neighbors to Blanco."
