Constraction reviews in Cincinnati, Ohio

Start to finish, this company is excellent to work with and we are excited about our new patio! The crew has high familiarity with Unilock pavers and are very skilled, professional, and personable. They worked to address some minor items we found during construction and the finished product is amazing. The work they did on the retaining wall at the beginning and also the replacement of top soil and grading at the end were top notch. We highly recommend Rick Curtis Hardscapes!

Rick’s crew did a fantastic job on our wall. They were hardworking, fast and able to do the job in 6 days total including the railing. The weather cooperated, so it worked out great. I highly recommend them!
There are Pros and Cons but nothing that should deter you from hiring them.
Pros:
- He was very fair priced overall.
- The crew was hard working and professional.
- The crew cleaned up after themselves when it was all done.
- I drew a sketch of what I wanted and they made it even better.
- They used our old stones as we requested where other companies try to make you use all new.
- They stayed on the job until it was done.
Cons:
- Rick doesn’t have his own contract but was willing to sign the one I created. I made it so the crew had a lot of wiggle room with size, dimensions and style. I know it wouldn’t be an exact science.
- Rick makes it clear that the railing is not included but I would have preferred it as part of the package up front and done immediately following the wall.
- Ricks crew came back and put the railing in but I did have to call him a few times to get it to happen. He’s a small operation, so I didn’t mind. The railing looks fantastic.

Overall All: Be patient but persistent and you’ll get a great result at the end. I highly recommend him!

Very professional, kind and great work!

Thank you guys so much for the wonderful customer service, I really appreciated the professionalism!

Didn't use the services and don't plan to. The guys that got out of a truck and went into a chipotle covington 3/13/23 around 1240 not only cut me in line but got water cups then stole pop.
Not a great way to represent your company

Hughes Construction implemented an impressive foundation project for us. The owner, Tyler Hughes, was completely immersed in our project from the initial phone consultation through the final project implementation. He kept us aware of the tasks at hand as well as the overall progress. Our work, which stemmed from cracks and slow leaks in the basement, involved excavation down to the footer, sealing cracks, and installing drain tile directed at a new sump pump. Tyler and his team were very accommodating and very professional. When additional unforeseeable work was necessary, Tyler handled it very well and was able to help us keep the cost at a minimum. Our yard, which was quite a sight (or site!) during the excavation, was leveled and new grass seed was planted after the work was completed. As it is now January, the new grass hasn't come in yet, but we expect that this spring it will be looking much better! It was such a relief to have our problem solved.

I hired Hughes Construction to repair my back deck that had begun to sink into the ground. Tyler and his team were very professional and did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing foundation or construction work.

Hughes Construction recommended structural engineers to come up with a solution for needed foundation work on our home. We were satisfied with the job which was massive and involved jacking up our house. They were on time and courteous and we can rest assured that it was a job well done.

Hughes Construction - recommended without reservation.

We contracted with Hughes Construction to stabilize and waterproof our foundation using plans prepared by a structural engineer. From start to finish the Hughes Construction team communicated with us promptly and clearly. Our questions were always answered in a timely manner. We were advised well in advance of the start date of the preparations we needed to make (like relocating an AC compressor). After work began, we were informed on a regular basis of what to expect next. This was especially important as both of us have been working from home during the pandemic. The crew kept the site as clean and orderly as possible.

As remote workers it was essential that we maintain a high-speed Internet connection. However, due to the configuration of our yard and the location of our fiber optics cable line it was simply not possible for the existing cable line to remain intact during construction. Our broadband provider came out and, with Hughes’ cooperation, a temporary aboveground cable line was extended across our yard, down the driveway, and into the other side of our house. This was the situation for number of weeks. Even though this arrangement made our front yard somewhat of a maze and more difficult to negotiate, during that time Hughes Construction was emphatic about clearly marking the location of the line and took great pains to make certain that the line remained intact.

We are confident that the job was completed in a workmanlike and professional manner in conformity with the engineering plans. After all, it was no mystery to us what had transpired as Tyler often walked the property with us, taking great pains to demonstrate his team’s progress. As with all construction jobs, once matters concluded there was the inevitable punchlist which Hughes Construction resolved without hesitation.

Given that Cincinnati is the “City of Seven Hills” there are a plethora of contractors and service providers making all kinds of claims and offering all kinds of solutions to stabilize and waterproof your home. Do not kid yourself or rely upon hype. Do your due diligence. If you have foundation issues (especially if you are on a hill) there is no substitute for engaging a qualified engineer to draw up plans to remediate your problem. And there is no substitute for engaging a top-flight contractor to execute those plans. Hughes Construction is such a contractor.

We hired Hughes for a pretty large foundation and concreting project this summer. They were incredibly easy to work with, efficient, and communicative. The work looks fabulous, it was completed in a timely manner, and so far, we are water free in the basement - which is HUGE!! I cannot say enough great things about Tyler and his guys!

I hired Hughes Construction to install steel columns in my basement to support bowed foundation walls. Tyler was very easy to work, knowledgeable, and receptive. I was very happy with the finished product. I would not hesitate to hire them again for other projects.

We recently used Hughes Construction to install metal brackets and bracing for our poured foundation walls. They also performed epoxy injections in the cracks. Tyler and crew were very professional. Workmanship was excellent. Cleanliness was outstanding. The price was very reasonable compared to the other quotes we received. We will definiately use them again for any additional structural or concrete work.

A section of our house is built over a crawl space. The footers in that area were built on disturbed soil which allowed them to settle with time. The foundation on that end of the house needed to be stabilized. We chose Hughes Construction to handle the job. Everyone we came in contact with were very professional! They answered all our questions and took the time to explain how the repair would be accomplished. This is a big job, and landscaping around the house is obviously removed. The yard can suffer as well with heavy equipment coming and going. Tyler and his crew did a wonderful job of limiting the damage to the yard and landscaping. We are very pleased with the repair and would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.

We had a great experience with Tyler and his crew at Hughes Construction. 100 plus year old house on a hill has moved a bit. The basement is tough to get to and there are stairs in every direction getting into and out of the house! They put in 4 pilasters, 2 buttresses, a new adjustable steel column on a new footer, and injected 70 plus feet of foundation cracks. In and out in just over 4 days! These guys were friendly, professional, positive and helpful (they even helped me out with a couple projects I was working on upstairs!)
I will call them again for my next project.

Hughes Construction Company did excellent foundation, driveway, and downspout work on my home. The crew was very professional and a joy to talk to. The office staff were outstanding and I felt like I always knew what was happening. I highly recommend Hughes Construction!

Initially, we were overwhelmed; however, after multiple recommendations, we contacted Hughes Construction. We're so glad we did. They were professional yet personable, took every effort to respect our home, very clean (even our neighbors commented on that) and kept us informed every step of the way. We would definitely recommend Hughes Construction.
