We interviewed several companies for our new patio and what we thought we had a good idea of how we wanted it to look like based on several ideas from Pinterest and other websites. Each company provided a rendering, but Henry with Hemax asked questions, worked with us and provided ideas that we didn’t even think of. Henry was patient and explained everything. The other companies just provided what we stated, which is fine but I felt that Henry went the extra mile to make sure we understood all of our options. It was an huge transformation from before. The previous owner had 3 medium size trees in a half circle about 10 feet apart and 7 boxwoods in an “L” formation the middle of the backyard, which was nice when we moved in but overtime we noticed that we were not utilizing our backyard to its full potential because it was just to busy. Henry provided a sketch that opened up our backyard and made it a more inviting. We discussed options for stone, colors and an area for a fire pit as well as how we would layout patio furniture as well as a new staircase. Henry was upfront and advised us of the possibility of delays with certain materials, but kept us informed. We did experience a delay with the stone, but that was with the manufacturer and we were prepared for it.
Previously we had Trex stairs walking down to our existing patio, but the layout of the stairs didn’t work. We discussed the idea to replace the stairs with stone stairs and widen it for easier flow. The final product was better than we thought. We added landscaping lighting underneath the stairs to connect in with our existing landscaping lighting.
As for the patio we worked with Henry on an 850 SF paver patio with a 3 stone pattern and 4x8 soldier border. The completed product is amazing, we couldn’t be more pleased. The work from this company is excellent, they are very hard working and are very accommodating. The work was done in a timely fashion with excellent communication on when they will start to when the final walkthrough will be.
Prior to the commencement of the work, I asked Henry to come out one more time to do another work through to make sure everything was understood. He explained the whole process and listened to our concerns, he made us feel very comfortable with the process. This was a big undertaking for us, a complete transformation of our backyard so we were a little nervous on how it would all turn out. Hemax did an excellent job and we absolutely love the work they did that we hired them to do our front walkway as well. We have received numerous complements from our neighbors on how good of a job they did, that our next-door neighbor hired them do to there patio as well. I can’t praise them enough on the work they did and the guidance they provided, I would hire them again in an instant.
