This post has nothing to do with cycling and everything to do with home improvement. As some of you may know I have a brick paver patio and walk. My house is about 15 yrs old and after some time the bricks start to heave which can lead to an uneven and bumpy mess (think cottage cheese on a... er forget it). Well I think everyone knows what I mean. About 5 yrs ago I hired a company called PMS (no not the PMS as in chick PMS, but rather PMS as in Paver Maintence Specialists). They came out and did a rather crappy job. Sure they had nice trucks and the sales guy gave me some song and dance about everything they were going to do, but in the end they basically powerwashed my deck and walk, threw some playground sand down and sealed the whole deal. Now fast forward to 2008 there were more grass and weeds on my walk than on my lawn and really it was quickly becoming an eyesore. My wife had been on my to get er done so I made a few calls and got some estimates. I decided to go with a company called great pavers mostly because they were the cheapest. I figured more money saved= more bike parts that I could buy and also because I felt that after getting ROBBED by PMS on my first job I really didn't feel like taking it in the ass again. Well I can't say enough good things about this company. The two guys Chris and Paul that came out WORKED THEIR ASSES OFF. They pulled the outer rows of my walk and patio then powertamped the whole deal, sanded it and sealed it. Oh and they also replaced the ENTIRE cement retaining barrier that had broken and chipped away over time.....I can't say enough great things about GREAT PAVERS...If anyone needs brick work done give them a call....They worked their asses off for me and I couldn't be happier with the results.
