Lousy - the estimate never arrived. Promises promises - but 1 week and half later, I still do not have an estimate. What a lousy contractor. Not recommended

I cannot say enough good things about Ted Van Midde, their crew and their work at my home in Terra Linda. They completed re-graded my entire back yard, removing and demolished old patios and a deck, rocks, plants in the process and everything was done so carefully and cleanly I hardly knew they were there- and we have huge plate glass windows spanning the entire length of our house so demo was a big concern. 
My landscape architect laid out a very challenging system of pavers of varying lengths, requiring extreme attention to detail and actual artistry from their forming team. They got it all laid out perfectly and when they had questions they consulted me and together we decided on what was best. And when I had a question they ALWAYS responded quickly, in a few occasions proactively called me to ask what I wanted or to discuss next steps.
I can be a very fussy customer but their team could not have been more friendly, patient and professional. They were incredibly trustworthy and I felt very comfortable giving them access to my yard when I was away. And the price of their work was right in my budget, which was a relief! In short, they are my go-to guys for my next project and they should be yours.

Tremendous work, fully quality, total professionals. Clear communication. Estimate in writing. They even talked us out of doing it the more expensive excessive way.  Their way was better, done great.  Had about a third of our San Francisco sidewalk cracked and damaged by tree roots over the years.  After gathering several bidders, hired Van Midde and fully recommend them without a doubt!

Estimate was efficient but a bit high.
Decided to do the work. Had to wait a bit for start date (but I was not in a rush).
Job was done well and timely.

They were just fine. It was what it is. They were prompt, and professional. I was on the board of my home owners association, and that is why I used them. They showed up when they were supposed to. I made it very clear to them that we were only getting quotes. They got the quotes as they were supposed to. I sent them a thank you not as well. I am an interior designer by trade and so I use reputable vendors for my clients.

came to take measurements and let us know what needed to be done. that was three weeks ago and they still havent called back or responded to emails
Response from Van Midde & Son Concrete

"Thanks you [member name removed] for your constructive criticism of our company. After looking into your complaint I have tracked down what happened. Tragically my employee whom your wife initially had an appointment with, needed to cancel because he was with his father whom passed away the day of your appointment. He was able to spend the last day of his fathers life with him and other members of his family. He did schedule another appointment with your wife after taking a week off to grieve. I hope you look into these details which were published in the local paper and you will see that indeed this is what happened on the first day of your appointment. Emails were not disregarded nor were phone calls. I was gone myself on a much needed vacation with my wife of 30 years last week. I said I would look into it and I did. Communication could have been better, I agree. My employee actually called 6 different customers the same day he called your wife to reschedule, from the hospital. The other 5 customers were fine with waiting, you seem to have taken upon yourself to declare war upon my company with your multiple emails to Angieslist. After explaining to my employee that you had criticized my company he felt that it would be better not giving a proposal to such a spiteful person. I apologize for not getting your bid done on time, but under the circumstances it seems understandable that an employee whom had just lost his father be given some time to grieve. If you feel that your comments should stand in your previous posts then so be it. Under the circumstances I don't think we could have done much differently, given these facts. I stand by my employees judgement on this case. My employee did say that your wife was very courteous to him and he had nothing but nice things to say about her. It doesn't seem that he ever did meet you. Perhaps you could return our calls to you and set up a time to talk about this matter rather than sending out derogatory emails. Sometimes a little face to face talking can clear up matters better then emails. Thanks, Ted Van Midde lll. President, Van Midde & Son."

They were on time, very detailed during our first meeting, explaining what needed to be done. They were also excellent in pointing out some other things that could be done, without a hard sell approach. I appreciated their proactive, easy to work with approach. I ended up not doing the job because of other reasons having nothing to do with Van Midde, and so I can't be sure how competitive their pricing proposal was.

It took them over a week to return my call.  They did not come out and look at the project for another week.  They promised that they would have the quote to us within two days and that took another week. When we called to ask questions regarding the quote we were told the quote is the quote - take it or leave it.
Response from Van Midde & Son Concrete

"Hi Member, I read your report and I was sorry to hear that we could not satisfy your need for a quote on time. We try to call people back within 24 hours. I don't have the records of your particular message but it was probably not a week. My salesman Scott made it out to your home and spent hours reviewing the job with you and your husband. The pool patio was the main job focus which represented $37k, the driveway was $8.8k and walkways on the side of the house were $7.4k. It is a nice job and we knew you had gotten another quote which did not include everything that we did. We don't tell people that is the price take it or leave it. The other price you got was lower, but he did not include the driveway area and no drainage was included either. When the estimate was emailed we heard from you after we called to see if you got it, or after your inquiry on its whereabouts that it gone to your Spam folder. Sorry that happened. I apologize for any thing that you think our firm did wrong. We try to satisfy all our customers. We would never have said your bid would be ready in 2 days. Looking at the file Scott had 5 pages of notes and calculations that he worked out. A lot of time and effort was put into your bid. Thanks for the feedback we will use it to make our company better. Good luck with your project. Ted Van Midde lll, president Van Midde & Son Concrete."

Had estimated the project to take 2 weeks.  Instead they completed in a week.  Crews were hardworking, efficient and professional.
Everything was completed as described.  Beautiful.

I have a rented house and the entire driveway looked like Grand Tetons and we replaced all of that. They did an excellent job. They cleaned up everything. They were extremely professional. The man who came to give the quote was very helpful and saved a lot of my money. I would be happy to recommend them. They were completely, entirely honest. They were little cheap than other estimates that I had. They were just really incredible. I would not be without answers.

They have been excellent in their work and timing. With one part of the project, they could've done the clean up a little bit better. Otherwise, they are professional on all fronts.

Overall, excellent. Ted Van Midde and his team were extremely diligent and considerate during the month long construction project. A new sewer pipe needed to be rerouted. Instead of charging additional fees for every unforeseen problem, Ted included the "minor" issues into the overall estimate and provided us with a very fair price and outstanding service. Also, we needed Ted was very helpful when we needed his assistance several years later. Overall, when we select a vendor for construction, we seek fairness, quality workmanship, honor, reliability, and support. Ted Van Midde fulfilled all of these criteria. In retrospect, I would have consulted a landscape architect to address for additional insight regarding possible design options. The staircase and pathways which incorporate a stain are frequently praised by other trades professionals for the beauty and artistry of the hardscape.

I was extremely happy with them and I felt that they were very familiar with what I wanted to have done. Everything was done very precisely and accurately. I was well pleased with the attitudes of the workers because they were all pleasant to do business with.
