"Last March 2011 during a storm my 10" high 30 year old wall breached with an inground pool 10" behind it. A delicate & challenging job to replace. I called 15 contractors to come and view the situation. Some walked away due to the magnitude of the undertaking. Others offered ideas but seemed to lack confidence and not guarantee that the pool could be damaged. Moe pulled up looked at the situation for a few minutes and said "I can do this." His ideas and insight were just what I wanted. Plus his estimate was reasonable in comparison, and he did not run into the usual problems in the middle of the job to raise the price. My town required a variance to replace this pre-existing wall. Moe stuck by me through it with frequent calls to see how I was progressing. Usually you have to chase the contractor. Not with Moe. Once my permit was granted Moe and his masons started immediately. They finish the job without the disappearing act most contractors employ. His crew was exceptional working non-stop and at the end of the day cleaned up efficiently. If you go with anybody else but Moe, you're making a mistake.”

"In the past two years, we have used Mo Soliman and his team at Curb Appeal Design for two small, yet highly visible masonry projects at our home. They involved the reconstruction of a front decorative flagstone walkway and the construction of a new brownstone / limestone retaining wall, both which turned out wonderfully. As an Architect I am most particular about the planning, detailing and execution of this type of work, with a critical eye towards aesthetics and quality, as well as protecting the adjacent property during construction and cleaning up on a daily basis. I am happy to relate that my working experience with Mo and his masons on these projects has been most enjoyable and satisfying. He has the passion and knowledge for making his projects appealing and complimentary to the respective house, property and neighborhood, using the most appropriate materials, finishes and colors. He appreciates a challenging project (ours) and a demanding client (me) and contributes his creative ideas and masonry construction knowledge and experience in a collaborative effort that results in a finished project that is better than originally conceived. He knows when to ask questions vs. making assumptions and does not take short cuts that may compromise the beauty or longevity of the completed work. I highly recommend Mo Soliman and Curb Appeal Design for this type of detailed masonry work for discerning homeowners.”

"If you are looking for a company who is honest, reliable, creative, trustworthy, knowledgeable, problem solvers & has the customer’s best interest at heart...then look no further then Curb Appeal. Our experience with Mo & his crew was nothing less then platinum service from the first email we sent to the moment he and his crew pulled away from my house. In the past, we've had our share of shady contractors and we were cautious who we selected for our backyard remodel. From the moment I met Mo my instincts told me that we found someone we can trust. He is a straight shooter!! This was by far the BEST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! Their work was professional in the every sense of the word. Everyday Mo & his crew far exceeded my expectations & I am not an easy customer to please! The level of high-end customer service that they display goes beyond words. His guys don't stop working. Not even in the rain! They hustled and are extremely hard workers but never once compromising quality. Everyday they arrived early, worked like machines, cleaned up and put my privacy fence back up every single night! At one point, I was uncertain of the direction we were taking with the retaining wall. To give me peace of mind, Mo went completely out of his way to bring me several samples to choose from for my retaining wall. He would state daily, "I just want you to be happy!" and its not just words to him. He's truly genuine. He will do everything humanly possible to make sure your expectations are exceeded and that you are thrilled with the end result. I will recommend Curb Appeal without reservation to all my neighbors, family, and colleagues, etc. They are truly excellent craftsmen! We are looking forward to our next project with Mo this coming spring! We refuse to work with anyone else. I can’t express enough how impressed and thrilled I am with our decision to go with Curb Appeal. Finally a company you can rely on! Thank you Mo, Rose & the “Machines”! By far BEST of the BEST! Can’t wait to see you guys back again in the spring! We love our yard!!!”

"The Curb Appeal team did excellent work for us. They have completed 2 jobs for us and we are having them quote on a third. They are professional and thorough. The site was safe during construction and completely cleaned up at the end of the project. They worked with us to develop the layout. They used our input and built upon it giving good, well reasoned, and courteous advice to create a design vision which they faithfully executed. They held themselves to the timeline they proposed and finished both projects on time. They held to the budget and discussed with us the cost of any proposed changes before executing the change. They also stand by their work and immediately fixed the one issue that we found.We are extremely satisfied with the results.”

"We had interviewed a few landscapers and masons before deciding to use Mo's business. He was the only one who "got it" when we described what we want our backyard to look like. We had a vision, but he made it happen. Additionally, his price was way more reasonable than everybody else's quotes. The backyard now is light years ahead of what it was before. I would recommend Mo and his crew to anybody, and will be happy to show anybody what he did for me.”

"My entire neighborhood is talking about the magnificent transformation Mo made to our home. The number and variety of shrubs and plants all compliment each other beautifully. Mo's pride in his work and his attention to detail far exceeded our expectations. He is a true craftsman and we highly recommend him.”

"Mo and his crew did an exceptional job. We had a rather large patio and walkway installed and we could not be happier with the final results. Mo is very detailed and absolutely made sure everything was done exactly as we discussed.
Mo is great to work with. He is there when he says he will be; does what he says he will do; and it is all handled in a professional and timely manner, We highly recommend Curb Appeal to anyone interested in a quality job, completed in a timely manner and a stress free transaction.”

We just had our first job completed by Curb Appeal (May 2011) and couldn't have been happier with the results! Mo and his team are efficient, neat and pay close attention to details. We had our front steps redone as well as a new retaining wall. For the steps, Mo offered suggestions and helped us choose the stone. When there was a delay in our order, Mo stayed in touch with us and competed the job as soon as it was possible. We love the finished product. Will definitely be calling him again next year!”

Mo did a spectacular job with our front porch area and walk way. We had numerous neighbors stop by with high complements. Mo was very easy to work with and very professional and did all promised work in a very timely manner. Mo provides great suggestions and knows the business well. His prices are reasonable and he completes work within his estimates. We will recommend Curb Appeal Design to friends.”

We have used the Curb Appeal team on multiple occasions for our Morris Plains home. The do great work and have very competitive pricing. The real value-add is the consultancy aspect of their service. Mo brings great ideas to the table and provides guidance that really separates him from his competition.”
