Thank you for the incredible makeover you have done on the front cement porch at the office. Your idea for abandoning a small repair of the cracked concrete in favour of a total makeover to what I call “my Italian terrazzo” porch was well received by me. You have transformed the porch into a very elegant and unique entryway that I am so very pleased with. Marija took it upon herself to give advice on other areas of the porch that needed restorative work then she determined there might be an easy fix and she proceeded to get the repairs on our large pillars completed. Marija’s extra efforts were greatly appreciated. I hope you will take photos of my lovely porch to show prospective customers, and if you ever need a reference, please do not hesitate to have your customers contact me directly.
