“Throughout the contract, CCS was a pleasure to work with. As with any historic structure, unforeseen circumstances arose that affected the work and schedule. CCS would discuss the issues immediately, and work diligently to overcome the issues so as to minimize the effect on the bridge and contract. In addition, they completed a high quality re-coating of the structure. This was further evidenced at the recently- completed warranty inspection, where the deficiencies were minimal, and the coating displayed good durability.

We’ll certainly consider your company for future work.
