Margis Construction

Margis construction excavated the old interlocking in our backyard and built us a concrete walkway, patio, retaining wall and a pad for garbage bins.

In the past we have had a few bad experiences with contractors leaving the job half way, or just executing the work inadequately. So, for a job this big we decided to use homestars, as the unbiased reviews and pictures are very helpful. We received quotes from about 25+ contractors, and in the end, we decided to go ahead with Tiago from Margis Construction.

This decision was based upon the first meet, quality of work and the many positive reviews on homestars. We were initially interested in the patterned concrete finish (expensive option). Tiago was honest about its upkeep and he didn’t try to push this on us. Based on our lifestyle and needs, he advised us to go with the broom/smooth finish.

In deciding which contractor to go with, it was important for us to see the previous work. We wanted to see how the concrete aged, and whether the portfolio provided online was in fact theirs. Tiago was quick in providing numerous addresses, where we were able to see the work in person (from distance).

Once we decided to work with Tiago, he was very detailed about the expected next steps, the tentative start and finish date.

Tiago’s team was friendly and approachable. They started work early in the morning and, always cleaned up before leaving for the day. If I brought any concerns along the way (there were a few), the team never ignored them, they addressed these concerns right away.

After the completion of the work, we brought to Tiago’s attention, areas that needed some touch ups/rework, he took care of these right away. It’s now been over a month and even to this day if I have any concerns or questions, Tiago is always there. In the past we’ve had contractors completely vanish once the final payment was received. This has been a refreshing change.

We are very happy with Tiago and the team, they started the work on time, with professionalism, and it was completed ahead of the scheduled date. On a personal level, Tiago has been very helpful to us, he has gone out of his way and helped us where there was zero personal or contractual obligation to do so. Tiago is not driven by greed or the size of the job as some of the contractors we had met, he is personable and very kind. There are many anxieties associated with having work done in your home, and having a contractor like Tiago, really made this experience stress free.

We had met with larger (more years in the industry) companies, however due to the reasons stated above we took a chance on Margis construction and I couldn’t be happier

If you’re deciding between contractors, try to really listen to the answers the contractor provides, do not simply hire someone based on the years they have been in the industry or their fluff words. If you ask to see their previous work in person, and they hessite in providing this, go with another. Do your research, ask all the questions, and go see the work in person.

If there are any major changes to the concrete, I will update here.

As someone who has dealt with a lot of contractors, it’s rare to find one that does what they say, and in the time they projected. Tiago and his crew are amazing at what they do, would recommend them to anyone who wants quality work done.

Tiago and his crew did a very good job on our steps. They worked non-stop and finished the job ahead of time. Tiago made sure we were completely pleased with the job before leaving. He even indicated that we should call him back if there was any more work we needed to be done on the steps. Highly recommend Tiago and his crew. Thank you!!

I appreciate the service Homestars provides when sourcing contractors for services required at my home. Reviewing various companies to pour a concrete patio brought me to Margis Construction. Tiago and his entire crew were polite, easy to communicate with, and above all skilled in the preparation and pouring of concrete.

Using Homestars requires a thorough investigation of all listed companies. I make sure the contractor I select has overwhelming positive reviews (some recent...some years prior), coupled with significant photo reviews supplied by previous customers. Tiago's company fit this profile and I confidently enlisted them to complete the work.

I couldn't be happier with the end result. My patio was excavated, filled, formed, poured, brushed/finished, and cut for expansion, professionally. I most definitely recommend Margis Construction for consideration when you decide on a concrete project for your home.

All was good. Quick. No delays. Easy to negotiate price. Good customer service. Professional work. Before ordering discuss how you will pump your concrete to the concrete pad.

Tiago and his team was amazing. I wanted a concrete walkway on the side of my house and also a curb for the playground structure. The team did an amazing job! They were quick, clean and most of all, I felt Tiago and his team was honest and took pride in their work. They accidently while digging broke the main sprinkler line, but Tiago made sure it got fixed right away. Furthermore, when building the curb for the playground, Tiago realized that underneath the mulch was concrete. So he made sure that he put extra rods (at no extra cost) to make the curb stronger and will be more resistant to cracks. I am not an expert in concrete so I was happy he suggested putting those rods/beams to strengthen the concrete. This shows that they take pride in their work and will go the extra mile to make sure that everything is done proper. It has been almost a year and the job still looks great! Thanks Margis, and hoping to do more projects with your team.

Thanks Margis. Tiago and his crew did an amazing job. Since they start till finish were amazing. Clean and professionals.

It was an amazing job. The most impressive was that Tiago told me date an hour to start and finish, and that's exactly what happened!
The finish product was awesome.
Thanks to MARGIS

Tiago and the team poured a 10x20 concrete slab for our garage. They were great to work with - timely, responsive and very professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again for the great job!!

Tiago and the team are fantastic! They finished the job quickly, were accurate about details, and left the site clean.
Would definitely recommend them.
