We had 2 retaining walls put in on our property. The front of our home looks better than it ever did before this job was done. We would recommend him to any who asked.Posted on Google Melody KnowlesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend RPM! They put in a gorgeous paver walkway last fall and just completed replacing my deck. I’ve gotten so many compliments on both projects! Don was so easy to work with….he worked within my budget and offered so many suggestions when I couldn’t decide. He takes a lot of pride in his work and I wouldn’t hire anyone else for future projects!Posted on Google Thomas WeissTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a general contractor for many years. I know who can perform worm and who cannot. Don Romano's crew excels! The did a fabulous job on the front walk of my house. I recommend them on the basis of cost, speed and quality. You cannot do better than RPMPosted on Google Linda Maggiore DenvirTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Don and his team at RPM a few years ago to build a backyard patio and retaining wall—and their work was so impressive that we didn’t hesitate to bring them back for more. This time, they completely transformed our front walkway and created beautiful flower beds on both sides of our house to make room for future landscaping. Just like before, Don and his crew delivered exceptional results. Their professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail are unmatched. In fact, they may be the only contractors we fully trust. Don brought fantastic ideas to the table, and his team brought those ideas to life flawlessly. The front of our home has never looked better. If you're considering an outdoor renovation, do yourself a favor and hire RPM. Choosing anyone else would be a serious mistake. Thank you, Don and team, for another outstanding job—we're beyond grateful!Posted on Google Brian DenvirTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don and his team built us a brand new patio, retaining wall, and fire pit about two years ago. As I’m sitting out by my fire now, I realized I never left a review, which is a disservice to them. I have never had any contractor communicate and execute to perfection quite like Don and his crew. I wish I could hire them to do literally every job at my house because I know I’d never need to worry. If you like flawless and headache free, you will not regret calling Don. The second he steps foot on your property, you’ll know you’ll be dealing with the best in the business. Can’t thank Don enough.Posted on Google Christopher HeathTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don and his crew were awesome to work with, they were very professional and made sure we were completely satisfied every step of the way. We made some last minute adjustments in the middle of our project and Don made sure we received exactly what we wanted. I would recommend them to anyone for their outdoor needs. Don't hesitate to give them a call to make your outdoor dreams come true!!!Posted on Google Dave AinspanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don and the crew were very easy to work with. Very happy with my new patio and I would highly recommend this company!Posted on Google MaryAnn SpringerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recommend RPM, if I could, I would give 10 stars. My new front stairs are beautiful and I couldn't love the finished product more. Don is such a nice guy, listens and is a perfectionist, which when having work done, it is the best trait in your contractor.Posted on Google Daryl BartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't wait to share the finished product with the world. Our experience from conception to design to installation has been nothing short of seamless. RPM has taken our ideas and made it into a reality we didn't know was possible. Don & his crew are reliable, show up every day ready to work, leave the space clean and tidy, roll with any and all chaos, come in on budget and are realistic with time estimates - plus answer all of my questions and still find ways to get it all done. Our 1400 SQ patio, wall, living space and huge built in fire pit are incredible. Waiting on some furniture and decor and seasonal plantings to add photos. You wont believe the before and after.Posted on Google Christopher MaggioreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don Romano and his team epitomize professionalism. Don’s communication is seamless, he constantly is collaborating, his team’s workmanship produces stunning results, and Don’s vision is top notch. Throughout the process, Don worked with us to put together our dream patio. Don personally visited our home on multiple occasions, adjusting plans to meet our ever-changing requirements. Each suggestion and concept Don proposed was flawlessly executed by his team, and we ended up with a patio that exceeded our expectations. Don’s team is our first choice for bringing our home visions to life and we’d highly recommend him for any job that his team offers!
