Common questions

Can I get a quote quickly?
Yes. Reviewers report same-day or next-day estimates; Mo or David typically visit to assess work, take photos, and provide a written quote.
Do they handle emergency repairs?
Yes. One reviewer had roofing repairs completed same-day; another had electrical issues resolved within 24 hours of calling.
Will they recommend work I don't need?
No. One reviewer was advised to bring in a structural engineer to verify termite damage, and when repairs proved unnecessary, the company did not push the sale.

LGE Services delivers consistent results across driveways, patios, and grading work. Lou personally oversees projects, crews arrive on schedule and clean up daily, and timelines hold. The main friction: formal quotes take time because the owner prioritizes field work over paperwork, though he stays responsive by text and phone.

Every review is five stars. Jose and his team show up on time, deliver clean work at fair prices, and often return to check on jobs or fix unexpected issues. Driveway sealing dominates the feedback, but customers also praise brick repair, chimney work, shed rebuilds, and retaining walls with equal enthusiasm.
