We chose Hicks for our backyard renovation, and we couldn’t be more pleased. The job was done quickly, efficiently and absolutely beautifully. Every member of the Hicks team was friendly, hard-working, and respectful of our home and our family. When you begin a huge project, there are usually so many headaches and hassles, so many hurdles and setbacks. There was none of that with Hicks. Can’t recommend them enough.
