Hired on Thumbtack

What a wonderful job Tom and his team member did for me in removing a liner pool in the upper part of my backyard. He was not only super responsive and available, but was extremely quick, diligent, and thorough in making sure the job was done exactly right before closing out the project. Hands down one of the best contractors I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with, will be my go-to for future project and highly highly recommend.

We hired Tom to excavate and fill our pool. He was excellent in every way. He responded quickly to our call and came to check out our project. It was clear to us that he was very knowledgeable and experienced with this type of work. We were surprised and happy when his bid was much less than what we expected to pay. Tom efficiently and methodically deconstructed the pool. He knew how to compact the fill so it won't sink. We thought the job would take much longer, but Tom worked tirelessly for four days and got it done. He also noticed an issue we had with the slope of our driveway gravel. This had been a problem for some time, but we hadn't been able to fix it with hand tools. Because his price for the pool demo was so reasonable, we were able to have him slope the driveway, too. We'll be hiring Tom again soon for another grading project. We have complete confidence recommending Tom O'Connor. His integrity and work ethic can't be beat.

Tom did an amazing job on our property - the grading was not pitched correctly and he was able to divert the majority of the run off away from the house - worth every penny!!!

I hired Tom to remove and fill in my in-ground pool. He showed up when when he said he would. He explained everything he was going to do. Not only is he a very hard worker, he is also a nice guy. He did a great job at a reasonable price and made sure we were satisfied with his work. I highly recommend him! (Thanks Tom!)
