To Whom It May Concern,

This letter is to recommend Flavio La Rocca & Sons, Inc. for any masonry, driveway paving, drainage, stone work you may have. They did an excellent job for us on our driveway Blacktop, two retaining walls, two entrances with natural stone and Bluestones. They beautified our driveway with Belgian block curbing on the sides and an apron at the driveway entrance. They also turned an ugly old wall into a show piece by installing mosaic stone veneer over it. They bid the job at a reasonable price. Flavio, the owner was on site every day to supervise the work and his workers were on time, neat and did a fantastic job that not only pleased us, but it was the envy of our neighbors. Flavio finished the job on time, addressed our concerns and came in on budget as promised! 

If you have any need for any work on your home or business, see Flavio. He accommodated us to finish an additional stone wall and a street curb in front of our property. He does everything to code so you have no worries about your local municipality Building dept. See Flavio at Flavio La Rocca & Sons, Inc. They will not let you down! 

Gratefully,

Re: Expansion and installation of new driveway with Belgian block curbing on both sides; installation of Trench drain and Drywell, new Bluestone walkway, steps and front porch.

Dear Mr. La Rocca,
Thank you for providing us with your expertise in paving and masonry. We are now enjoying a more beautiful and functional driveway and front walkway, and hearing compliments from our neighbors.

We appreciate very much and applaud you and your team for the exceptional experience we had working with you from start to finish.

We had requested initial consultation and estimates of this work from three different companies, including yours, of seemingly comparable reputation. We pursued your company based on that first meeting. You were thoroughly knowledgeable not only of the prospective work, but also of the process in acquiring the required permits and allowable metrics. Equally important to us, you were immensely professional. We could not be happier with our experience throughout the duration of this project. 

This project finished ahead of schedule, on budget, and with the design and quality upon which we agreed. We are pleased that you handled all processing of permits. In addition, we appreciate your willingness to coordinate electrical work with a separate contractor. 

Your company’s outstanding customer service spans the whole team – from your leadership to your administrative staff. All communications were prompt, fair, kind and considerate. We would surely turn to your company for future projects, and would highly recommend you to our family and friends. 

Wishing you and your company sustained success. 

Sincerely,
Joseph Chinea and Kathryn Santos

To Whom It May Concern,
I just want to send a thank you note to Flavio and his entire staff at Flavio La Rocca & Sons, Inc. for a job well done on my property. Flavio and his crews showed up when they said they would, completed the work as detailed in the proposal on time, on budget and left my property looking like the front cover of a home and garden magazine. I couldn’t have asked for a better job. It’s great to do business with an outfit that’s professional from start to finish, has all the necessary equipment for any job big or small and has talented, well trained and courteous personnel performing the work. When the owner of the company is out there directing the workforce, you know he is taking personal care of the job and final product.

I would not hesitate to call on Flavio La Rocca & Sons, Inc. again for any of my contractor needs. 

Respectfully,

Dear Flavio,
I went to Iona Prep yesterday after your men left and I could not stop smiling, with a few tears in my eyes, at the beautiful courtyard you have completed at the Paul Verni Fine Arts Center.  It is beyond my expectations in every way and I am now proud of what we have done at Iona in memory of our son Paul.

Vito and I also appreciate all the extra work you did by seeding the necessary areas and putting the red chips around the building.  I want you to know I am very happy now with the building and the courtyard which is what should have been there from the beginning and the benches are truly wonderful and will be enjoyed by the students at Iona Prep for many, many years.

Thank you for a job well done.

Dear Flavio & Company,

I can’t wait to give you the best testimonial you’ve ever had.  Not only were you and the guys respectful, early, friendly, fast, clean, amazingly talented, and creative and fast!!  I can go on and on.  We were so happy with the work you did.  No one can believe it took one week.  When I get back from Long Island after the 4^th of July we are definitely going out for dinner and cocktails on me.  Thank you so very much.  I will be in touch shortly.  Have a great holiday coming up and say thank you to your guys again. CIAO!!!

To Whom It May Concern,

I would like to take the opportunity to commend Flavio LaRocca & Sons on the job they did repaving our driveway.  We found F. LaRocca & Sons to be very professional and responsive.  Their office was always accessible to take our calls and if they could not immediately answer a question they were quick to research it and get back to us.  Additionally, they quickly addressed any concerns we had.

All in all it was a very positive experience working with LaRocca & Sons.  We would use them again for future projects.

Best Regards,

Dear Mr. LaRocca,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the work you did at our home at 31 Albert Place.  We are incredibly pleased with our new stairs, patios and driveway.  Your workers were always courteous, clean and the utmost professionals.

When we started the process of interviewing contractors, we were nervous and apprehensive about finding the right person to do the job.  You eased our concerns, did a fabulous job and everything was done ahead of schedule.

Please feel free to use us as a reference for future projects, as we could not be happier with the outcome.  Thank you and your staff so much, and we hope to work with you again in the future.

Sincerely,
Britt & Fritz Boigris

We hired F. LaRocca & Sons, Inc. in the fall of 2009, to expand our driveway, replace our retaining walls, re-do our walkway with pavers and update our steps with natural stone and bluestones. His team also replaced our side steps and put in a side patio of pavers as well.

We were so impressed with workers, office staff, as well as Flavio LaRocca the owner.  Flavio came to the work site several times a day, helped on the job and was available to us whenever we had questions.  Also his team was very impressive.  They arrived at the jobsites on time, worked all day, and even came on the weekend as needed.  In addition, the office staff was very helpful and responsive to all our needs.

My husband and I are very happy with the outcome of the project and would highly recommend F. LaRocca & Sons, Inc. for all masonry, paving & landscaping.

Re: Install Blacktop on driveway and repair damaged joints on front steps

Dear Mr. LaRocca,
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your timely and professional work performed at my home. It was refreshing to deal with an individual which keeps appointments, promptly responds to calls and performs the work as agreed and in a skillful and professional manner.

I have been disappointed by many other contractors in the past, but I can now say that I have found a company that has exceeded my expectations.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Dear Flavio,

Now that the job is done, I want to write a note of thanks to you, your crew and to Cathy in the office.  Everything was conducted very professionally, from start to finish.  Your company did a great job keeping us updated on what to expect and when.  Your crew was polite and hardworking, and they clearly knew what they were doing!  The job was done efficiently and on time. And we are very happy with the results.  It looks great.  It drains great.  Your crews were very careful not to damage plantings along the driveway.  They even returned the dog’s “invisible fence” to working order.

Thank you. It was a pleasure doing business with your firm.  We would gladly recommend Flavio LaRocca & Sons to anyone rebuilding their driveway.

To whom it may concern;
F. LaRocca & Sons, Inc. were true professionals. They assessed our needs and delivered a quality project with minimal disruption. The project was done in such an efficient manner…So much so that I had them do a second project. Both my wife and I are very happy and satisfied with F. LaRocca & Sons, Inc. and their employees.

I would highly recommend them to others as well as utilize them again in the future for other projects.

Dear Flavio,

Having just walked out of my home and admired my new front walkway and driveway, I thought it would be appropriate to write you a short note to express my thanks for the superior work that your company provided me with on our home renovations.

You never know what you're going to experience when you begin doing business with a contractor, a painter, a roofer or any tradesman for that matter.

I'm happy to say that my experience with you, your crew, and your office personnel was a pleasure.

You were always prompt and on time for our meetings, you told me precisely how the job would advance day by day, and everything went like clockwork.

Your crew is skilled and they were friendly, neat, and clean. My renovations look great and I have only you to thank for that.

Feel free to use my name as a reference for any future customers that want to learn how a past customer feels

about your work.

Thanks again !!

Best regards.

Dear Flavio,

I simply had to write this letter.  I have dealt with many contractors in my life and I have NEVER written a letter to express my complete satisfaction.  I'm sure we have all had negative experiences with contractors who we would love to write a negative letter about, but this experience was quite opposite.

Your men completed the job in a timely and thorough manner.  They cleaned up the work site at the end of the job so my yard was back to what it was prior to your arrival.  But that is not all I would like to say, my front steps are just shy of a masterpiece.  Everyone in the neighborhood is talking about them.  Random people are driving by and giving "thumbs up" signs.  It really brings a smile to your face.

I guess when you tell someone you are going to do a job, you really do it, and do it right!  Your word means a lot.  In the middle of the work we ran into a few things that were somewhat unexpected and your solutions in order to "complete" the job were absolutely beautiful.

We realize that you went ABCD "Above and Beyond the Call of Duty" and we really appreciate it.  Simply stated, I have never had a contractor that held true to his price even when it ultimately involved doing more than what might have been expected to complete the job.  Only someone who takes such pride in their work and their reputation would do such a thing.

I would recommend your men and your company to anyone.  In fact, I know at least two people who have already reached out to you for more work.  Congratulations on being the kind of company you can really feel good about.

Sincerely,         
Jeff & Carol Martin

Dear Mr. LaRocca:

Please accept my very sincere thanks and appreciation for the correction of a very serious flooding problem that resulted from the street resurfacing that was done in front of my home.

I appreciate very much your immediate response to my concern. You inspected the problem, recommended the installation of a drainage system, and also recommended the replacement of the entire driveway with Black Top. Our initial conference was greatly enhanced by a professional presentation of licenses, certificates of liability insurance, schematic diagrams and specifications of the drainage system, and photographs and references regarding your past work performance.

I appreciate even more, however, the quality of work that was done - from demolition and excavation to the final application of Black Top. From beginning to end, you and your crew demonstrated considerable respect for my property and the adjacent property of neighbors.

Yesterday's torrential down pouring of rain provided an invaluable test for the evaluation of your workmanship; and, needless to say, I am more than pleased with the results. There was absolutely no flooding in either my garage or the basement den.

Thank you, again, and wishing for your continued success, I am,

Sincerely,
James P. Roberts

To Whom It May Concern:

My personal experience with F.

It allowed me to pay attention to my own business knowing all my landscaping needs were in good hands.
