Customer Testimonial

“I have had CM Construction put in a storm shelter, lay sod, and, most recently, lay down river rock in my yard. I'm very happy and pleased with the service I was given. I would highly recommend CM Construction for any dirt work projects or putting in a storm shelter.”

— Deni Richards.
