Shoreline restoration

As a landscape architect, I would certainly recommend Vitalshore. They are one of the best companies I have worked with in over 45 years of practice. Josh and his crew were responsive and very hard working. They arrived early and stayed late each day to get the job done. Some contractors are problem oriented but Josh is solution oriented. When confronting a challenging situation, he would quickly find an answer that kept the project moving ahead. His pricing was excellent and he was on time and on budget. Vitalshore exceeded our expectations and provided a solution that really added value to our home and our lives.
