I had Proficient Construction do stamped concrete around my pool. Wow, what a great job they did. I was sceptical about having stamped concrete that would look like stone (my wife wanted real stone), but after Pete (the owner) had explained the longevity of concrete compared to real stone in the north country where the ground freezes and heaves and that stamped concrete was about half the price of the real stone we decided to go with the stamped. Amazing, 5 years later and it still looks like it did when then. Since than I had Proficient Construction put an addition on my house. These guys are true professionals and we would recommend them to everyone. Now, my wife, when asked if she knows a good contractor always says I will give you the name of "our" contractor. Thanks Pete and crew, It's good to know that there are still trustworthy professionals in the construction business. David J Bolton, NY
