What recent reviews say

Torrison's teams excel at execution: crews show up on time, take pride in their stone and patio work, and listen when customers flag concerns mid-project. Project managers like Glenn and Dominick earn repeat loyalty by staying available and thinking through details like drainage and contractor coordination. The friction point is financial: some customers have hit contract disputes or been charged for work they thought was covered, and one reviewer waited over a month for a promised quote.
