Xavier and his crew did a wonderful job, which was a multi-task project at my home in Methuen. I needed to have not only 5 columns replaced in front, but footings were required and re-landscaping was necessary under the overhang which included having to remove two stumps where large spartan junipers used to be, three dead ground cover junipers and two cut back azaleas; not to mention that the scalloped edging had tilted and some sunk into the ground. I was always concerned that finding a business that can do all that and do a good job was difficult – most will say they can do it, but the small details, possible damage, etc. was a concern.
So all went well – the overhang was shored up, the columns removed, holes dug, concrete footing poured, new columns installed, the columns were secured to the footing and the horizontal top beam to which they connect to, covers were made for the where the columns attached to the footings as well as the top beam, new aluminum sheeting was cut and folded to cover that beam so it looked brand new, the scallop edging was removed, the existing tree stumps and all other plants/root systems were removed, the scallop edging re-aligned and made level, soil was added to one side so that the height on both side of the stairs/house were level, more crushed stone was brought in, the yard was cleaned up, the driveway hosed down, grass seed spread a bit, etc. Xavier was always sure to ask if there was anything that needed tweaking or changing before they left and individuals came back as necessary to verify all was done to my satisfaction.
I would certainly recommend XXC Pro Builders (Xavier and his crew) as they seem very capable of doing all kinds of work (as noted above) as well as a good job with attention to detail. It was also noted by one individual that he enjoyed working with Xavier and he considered him a friend also – so that is also a plus.
