  Elite Concrete

  after the first year the driveway started to break down. Ray gave excuses and never repaired. I had other concrete people look at it and said it was due to not being installed properly. Now after 4 years the driveway look awful and needs to be redone .. I lost $7,000.00 Thanks to Ray and Elite Concrete. I would never recommend them to anyone

  A-1 Garage Door Service

  He did a great job. We notice that when the door was closing, it was making a noise as it navigated the curve on the rail. We called Mr Larkin (Owner) and he sent his son right away to fix the minor problem. We have been using the door for last one week and it has functioned very well to our satisfaction.

  Appolo Concrete Coating

  My home is 50yrs old and after that length of time, my garage floor had" lots" of salt pitting on it. I painted it myself with the appropriate garage paint only to have to do again 2 years later. I was at Home Show and saw Apollo's booth and inquired . They came out gave me estimate and I scheduled the job. i use my garage as a room in Spring and Summer and am very happy with the results. They have 15yr warranty on product they use, a great credit plan and the best you can use your garage 24hrs later.

  Elite Concrete

  I asked the owner, Ray Mang, to keep the driveway he poured for me several inches away from the property line which he did, and to pitch the concrete away from our garage and house which he also did. But after the job was finished, it rained that night and the next day there was a puddle about 5 or 6 feet in diameter in front of the garage. Standing water like that is going to collect mosquitoes in the summer. The winter freeze/thaw cycles will destroy that part of the driveway, not to mention make it a slip hazard for the elderly like me and my wife. I was furious and stopped payment on his check. I argued with him for a half an hour while he kept blaming the screw up on the garage! Then he said he would drill a hole in the middle of the puddle for the water to drain! How dumb is that? The water will just freeze and thaw under the slab and break it apart. He offered to redo that part of the driveway for the cost of materials, but not until the spring. Given all the other problems with the job, I told him I didn't want him screwing up anything else, and I gave him a choice: "Take $500 off of the $10,950 contract, or get a bad review on Angie's list." He didn't hesitate to choose the bad review. I gave him the balance of the contract amount and hope never to see him again. It's probably going to cost me another $2,000 to fix the ponding. Other problems with the job: ��� We signed the contract in the 3rd week of July when he said he would start work the middle of August. (I needed the job done before September.) Mid-August came and went. I kept calling him; he kept giving me excuses. He and his crew finally showed up on August 30, and finished on September 4. ��� He assured me that he would be on the job site to keep an eye on his crew. It's his job to manage them, not mine. But he was often absent. At one point I showed a crew member where I wanted an expansion joint, and he got testy with me, "Don't tell me how to do my job," he said. Excuse me, I'm paying almost $11,000 for this. I think I have a right to tell you where I want the joint. ��� The control joints for a 4-inch concrete pour should be at least 1-inch deep. He assured me, they would be. Guess what. No surprise, they're only 3/4 inch deep and even 1/2 inch in spots. Now, there is no guarantee that the concrete will crack along the joints like it is supposed to. In a few years, there will be random cracks and slabs of concrete pushed up from frozen water below. ��� Some of the control joints weren't cut long enough. ��� After the initial cure (about 4 - 8 hours) a seal coat is supposed to be applied to keep the moisture in the concrete from evaporating so that it can harden completely. (The longer concrete is wet, the harder it gets.) Ray showed up a day and a half after the pour and sprayed the sealer unevenly so that parts of the driveway are soaked in sealer and other parts have little or no sealer. This is going to lead to uneven curing which will lead to cracking. ��� The initial contract was for $8,950. After the old driveway was removed, he told me that he had measured incorrectly at 1350 sq ft, but the driveway was actually 1600 sq ft. I measured the job at 1550 sq ft. Fair enough. We added an extra $2000 to the contract. The guy can't even measure right. In general, if you want a poorly done job that's not going to last, and a long list of excuses and broken promises, Ray's your man.

  Romeo's Superior Home Improvements

  It was a pleasure doing business with Romeo. He is an A+ person and does A+ work. Romeo is a contractor you can trust whose prices are fair and work is outstanding. His crew was hard working & professional and considerate of our property. Romeo removed and replaced the concrete on our front porch and repaired our steps and brick skirting. He also found the need for extra related work without charging for labor or supplies. When the job was finished they thoroughly cleaned up everything. Romeo is a gentleman : prompt, courteous, and polite with a terrific work ethic. He takes pride in his work....deservedly so!!! ....and his homemade sauce he brings after completion is awesome in taste and gesture. Highly recommended!

  A-1 Garage Door Service

  The owner answered first time i called and came out the next day. He repaired a garage door we had never used on one of our rental properties that we were selling. I had other companies go out and said it could not be repaired and that we needed a new garage door costing over $1K. We called this company based on reviews and he was AMAZING. He came right out, said he could likely repair the door for $250. He not only got the door working, but also got the remote opener to work with 2 remotes. DO not call anyone else! He was fantastic, honest and prompt. Saved us tons of $$.

  Loewer Paving

  Loewer Paving did excellent work on my driveway. The owner was very responsive, provided quotes quickly, and performed the work on the date promised. The workers were professional, careful, and polite. Their price was not the lowest, but competitive and an excellent value when considering overall quality and experience. The owner took the time to explain immediate and long-term care for my new driveway. As a Facilities/Property Manager for over 35 years, I have worked with many paving contractors. I highly recommend Loewer Paving.

  Kfouri Concrete LLC

  Mr. Kfouri responded quickly to my request for an estimate, was very pleasant, and quoted a very competitive price. I immediately agreed to his estimate and terms. Despite 3 requests, however, he did not provide to me a contract. I had to choose another contractor.

  Real Help Decorative Concrete

  Josh and his team just completed a huge concrete project in my West Seneca home. The total square footage was nearly 2500. The job consisted of completely blasting of years of old sealer, bringing back the the color, highlighting the borders and then sealing the concrete. Josh and his team worked morning til night, and were meticulous in the care of my property the entire way. Every detail of the job was explained and any question or issues were immediately taken care of. My concrete looks great and HIGHLY recommend Josh Broad and Real Help Concrete to anyone who wants or needs a beautiful patio! For a young business owner, Josh is an absolute pro. Wally G

  Kfouri Concrete LLC

  The work went fine. Driveway looks good. Redone sidewalk in front of the house is sloped in the wrong direction - it should drain AWAY from the house. New back porch looks nice, however it developed a 5 foot long crack in only 9 months. Three calls to the business in 3 months with NO RETURN CALLS. Would not do business with Kfouri Concrete again and would not recommend them to anyone.
