So, just to followup/close this thread.
I was only able to get 2 companies to actually come onsite and look at this. I chose Sam Demeter because he was a.) willing to give me an estimate based on my estimations and then come onsite to verify I wasn't crazy. and b.) he was willing to work with me on options that made me and my wife happy.
He showed up at my house at 845am. This shows work ethic.
He kept the site clean all though out the different phases of setting the forms, building the steps, clearing things out etc...
He was completely transparent in the quoting process, concrete cost, his labor, his fuel (I live pretty far from him) etc...
With all of this, he was the less expensive solution of the 2 I could get to come out and I knew that he would be easy to get a hold of.
I am very happy with the speed, professionalism and cost, I suggest Sam and his Dad to anyone that needs this type of work done.
Call me if you need a referral or want to see his work SIXONEFOUR 446 (OH)87(OH).
