  Andrew's Concrete

  Our experience with Andrew���s Concrete was great. We had a large concrete patio (20��� x 60���) installed on the backside of our house. The workmanship was very professional and well done. Andrew and Mary were great to work with; they were very responsive to phone calls and questions. They are a small personally-owned company and every little detail seems to matter to them. They had a genuine interest in the finished product and our satisfaction. They were prompt and on-time with stated commitments. Andrew had some great ideas on the steps leading in/out of the patio door that ended up looking really nice. The grade and slope of the finished patio were perfect because they spent a lot of time with a laser laying out the forms. Andrew was amazing with the skid-loader and able to use it to level off the ground and spread out the base gravel. The quality of the work was top-notch; tying the patio into the house foundation with many pieces of rebar; the patio was laced with mesh wire; the scoring-lines at completion were very straight looked nice. They had a great crew that helped with the job; there were anywhere from 2 to 5 people on the job site depending on the stage of the project. Overall, the project took about 4 days to complete, and they did it in a continuous time frame. They did a wonderful job of cleaning up after the project was finished. What impressed me the most was Andrew and Mary���s desire to have a finished patio that, not only we liked, but they too were very proud of. I highly recommend Andrew���s Concrete.

  The Basement Doctor

  This is an updated review. I'd had a couple of false-starts over the last couple of years which seem to be due to new people answering the phones and not having a wide enough experience with the company's services. I was pretty sure my vapor barrier has failed in places on what is only an 8-yr old house. I'm an engineer, so I was also pretty sure that the 'perfect' fix meant digging out the basement perimeter outside, removing the wick-board, replacing the vapor barrier coating, refreshing the footer drain material and wick-board, and back-filling ... but I'm no expert an I wanted an expert opinion. Believe it or not, finding a 'basement specialist' who actually knows about this kind of thing and can give knowledgeable input turned out to be almost impossible. I'd spoken to several Angie's List company's and found that none apparently deals with that kind of problem. Basement Doctor/Mr Basement, however, seemed to advertise that this is something they can do, so I called. I had a visit from one person who was unsure, and she arranged for Wes to come out a week later. Wes was great. He knew at the outset I was trying to get a sense of the cost so I could plan for it, that I was guessing somewhere north of ~$15k, and that I probably wasn't about to jump-in and have that level of work done immediately. Even so, he did a thorough inspection, listened to me describe the nature and characteristics of the limited amount of water I'd had on the walls, and discussed the probably causes and remediations. But I was pleasantly surprised when Wes went the extra mile for me, walking the outside perimeter of the house, then looking-over the location of some drainage pipe outlets and making some observations about the relative ground level and basement depth, and pointing out some drainage questions on the lot that I might want to look into. We went over the builders' book for the house and Wes noted that my vapor barrier actually had a 20-year warranty, suggesting that I chase-down the contractor the builder used and see if they were still in business before reaching into my own pocket to do a major refit. That said, he also concurred with my instinct, and explained that a perfect-fix solution would run me about $35k, and of course they'd be happy to do the work for me. However, he also said he thought that it was possible to alleviate the immediate water seepage problems with a mid-term robust solution at much less expensive: An ~$7.8k remediation would stop the water seeping through the inside wall-surface and allow me to finish the basement and use it. I will probably do both eventually, but start with the internal water exclusion in the spring of '16. All-in-all I was very happy with Wes' visit and, while I'd hoped to be entirely wrong about the vapor barrier, I found it comforting to know for sure and have options to move forward with. The company's main-stay clients tend to have a different problem from mine - namely, they usually have ground-water rising due to failed or absent footer drains, and Basement Doctor has a well tested solution for this. But if you're like me and the problem is before water even gets to the footers, then Basement Doctor can probably still help you one way or another and I'd certainly recommend having them come in and take a look.

  A-1 Concrete Leveling

  I am extremely pleased with them. I am really pleased. I am just extremely happy. They were here on time, cleaned up the mess and did exactly what they said they would do. They did it for $ 25 less than what they charged me.

  Mark Rodgers Construction

  I honestly could not believe there were any contractors with so much promptness, professionalism and so honest. Mr Rodgers explained
  to save a lot of money, I should call a Concrete Leveling Co. Which is exactly what I did. I had a question for Mr Rodgers so I called his Co and left a message on their answering machine. Mr Rodgers returned my call the same day and answered my concern. How can you possibly find a Contractor like Mr Rodgers? He had time for me even though I was not using his company!! I would highly recommend his Company if you need concrete work done. I should also mention I called a different concrete co before I called Mark Rodgers Concrete Company and they have NOT yet returned my call. Mark's Co returned my call the same day and Mr Rodgers came to my house 2 days later.

  Barr-Evans Construction

  John Barr and Doug Evans are experienced construction professionals and do the job right.  They put on a new concrete porch and fixed some house foundation and drainage issues on the front of the house in order to support the new porch last year.  Basement is dry and porch looks great.  John and Doug took great care to do a good job - well done. The only area of improvement would be responsiveness - but I think it is mainly because they are so busy all of the time doing great work and don't have room for a lot of overhead in their small and efficient operation to answer calls and such.  I would definitely use them again if they are available!  Awesome work.

  GARY MARTIN & SONS

  They cut out the old concrete around our in ground swimming pool and hauled it away. They prepped the area to pour new concrete. They gave me options for seams and I requested that they saw cut the joints. When they came back the next day to saw cut the joints, several cracks had appeared at the corners. They cut out the bad areas where the cracks had developed and poured new concrete. They also sealed it for us. They did a great job and the concrete looks really nice. I would recommend Gary's company for concrete work.

  Midwest Masonry

  I gave them an A rating overall, even though there could be some improvement on their part regarding communication. In dealing with the other two contractors, I am thinking this is just the nature of the beast when it comes to concrete contractors. Otherwise they did a great job, were polite and very personable during the entire project. Cleaned up afterwards and was conscientious of transporting the concrete from the street (which was some distance) to not leave ruts in the yard or a mess on the driveway.

  Mark Rodgers Construction

  Our 29' 3" X 5' front porch floor had a 1 1/2 inch jagged crack across the entire 5'. The slab was poured as a single piece and thusly the slab had moved about 2" away from the house on one end and twisted raising itself off the fondation blocks by about 3" in some places. 1 Initial contact with the company. Very polite and professional office personel. Set up an appointment for an estimate. ( So I wouldn't have to sit around the house all day waiting for them to show up. ) 2. Mark came at the scheduled time, surveyed the problem, explained the problem and most likely why it happened, and what needed to be done to correct it. I imagined the whole porch would have to be replaced foundation and all but he was honest, and didn't take advantage the fact that I know nothing about concrete porches, and said that it would only be necessary to replace the porch floor and do a little tuck point a few places. Nothing was wrong with the foundation. 3. Agreed on a price and a projected start date toward the end of October. We had excelent communications and due to the nature of his profession and having to depend on the weather he called and was able to remove the old porch floor much sooner as it was raining and he could not pour other jobs. He had the entire old porch floor removed and ready to set forms in 1 day. Very tidy did not leave chips of old concrete in the yard or anywhere else. 4. Yet another day of rain. Mark called and ask if it would be ok to set the forms and gave me an anticipated pour date. I told him go for it. 5. Anticipated pour date came and went without the pour, but not without Mark calling and explaining that there was not enough weather window for them to pour and the concrete to set before the rains would be here. We set another date. Again the pour date came and went without a pour as there was rain and high winds in the area. Mark again called and let me know they wouldn't be pouring that day due to the weather and told me what the next anticipated date would be. This time the weather was favorable. 6. Pour and Finish the concrete. Pour the concrete, tamp gravel down, trial, bull float, and broom finish and cut relief cuts in the new porch floor. 7. Removal of forms and touch up outside edges of porch floor. 8. Job finished.

  Peg's Paving Inc

  Dan White came and did the estimate on April 2, 2007. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He estimated that the work could be done in about four weeks; and called the first week of May to schedule it. The concrete was installed on May 10th; I was not there so I did not talk to the workers but I was very pleased with the results. The driveway was done on May 22nd (gravel) and 23rd (paving). Workers arrived before 7:00 am and began tamping the gravel. I watched them begin to lay the asphalt before I left for work. I have never seen asphalt laid before but everyone seemed to know exactly what they were doing; they worked together very well and were professional toward me. The end result was excellent; Peg's sent me a two page letter of care instructions that explained how asphalt cures and responds to weather changes. Overall I was very pleased and love my new driveway.
