Shiraz and Abdul from Atlas GC were a pleasure to work with.Project Scope:Demo & rebuild 4' x 25' timber retaining wall w/ drainage stone, piping, etc.Rebuild wood fence on top of retaining wallDemo wood patio, install paver system & border river rock*They also worked with my HOA to install a walkway with stone pavers and an 8x8 timber staircase adjacent to the retaining wallBackground:Our project started with the desire to demo and rebuild a failing ~4' timber retaining wall in our rear patio which extended beyond our property line into public space. Our HOA opted to build a stair instead of their section of the retaining wall. As you can imagine, this got a little complicated as it required a number of different reviews and permits from the city.I opted to manage the permitting myself, which involved a number of revisions to drawings and schedule delays. AtlasGC was very patient and accommodating during this process and also helped me work with the city to get the drawings approved. The city-driven changes to the design introduced added cost after their initial quote, but in order to keep the project from falling further behind schedule, they moved forward and absorbed the added cost.Communication/Professionalism:Shiraz and Abdul were very communicative and professional during the entire process. During the design evolution, Shiraz assembled a number of revised quotes which were very clear, timely and professionally assembled. We discussed a number of different options for the construction of the wall and he was very transparent regarding price, time, etc. During construction Abdul, Melvin and his crew were very respectful of the area kept a clean construction site. Once started, the project progressed quickly and completed within the established timeframe.AtlasGC was also very patient and obliged to a couple of requests I made to make adjustments to their completed work per my personal preferences. They did this free of charge, without hesitation.Pricing:We had a number of contractors provide quotes on the project and AtlasGC was by far the most competitive. So competitive, in fact, that we decided to also have them hardscape our entire patio with a beautiful stone paving system.I highly recommend AtlasGC for their work, professionalism, collaborative spirit, and competitive pricing.
