John Himchak Construction Company Inc.

John was easy to get a hold of.  Gave a fair estimate.  Had a good group of guys that did very professional work. Saw a couple issues after completion of work and John came back to make the small repairs without any problems.
I highly recommend John and his services.

We highly recommend John and his crew because they make you feel like your job is important, and their workmanship was excellent.  JHI’s was one of five estimates we received and ultimately became the best price for over 2,000 square feet of new concrete.  The final price was also the same as the estimate, which was another reason we chose JHI.  A few contractors that gave us estimates went right down the path of “It could be more depending on what we find...”  Bottom line, if you want quality work that’s completed on time and within the agreed price, then call JHI.  By the way, several people have stopped by the house to admire the expanded driveway and new sidewalk.

Overall, I was very happy with this work and we'll be contacting him again when we decide to complete the rest of the building.
John was very responsive to all our concerns, he did a great job getting everything complete quickly, and even followed-up with us several weeks later to make sure there was no further water damage after a big storm had hit.
The tuckpointing was well done and we're happy with this work.

Larry did a beautiful job. He was professional and punctual and the price was good.

I left a message on Mr. Himchak's cell phone requesting an estimate and he called back within the hour, setting up a time on the same day for him to come take a look. He came exactly at the time he said he would, and wrote up a detailed estimate on the spot. After deciding to hire JHI to do the work, Mr. Himchak gave me almost-daily updates as to when the work would be scheduled. His crew showed up at 8am on the day the work was to commence and worked all day until 6:30pm, coming back the next day to complete the job. The crew was professional and the workmanship was first-rate. The back patio came out exactly as we were hoping and throughout the whole process Mr. Himchak was extremely responsive and honest. I would certainly not hesitate to use JHI again.

The job went extremely well!  The entire process, from start to finish, was only two days.   As explained, Mr. Himchak's crew arrived and removed the old driveway, walk way and front step and completed the preparations for the pouring of the concrete the following day. The following morning, the crew arrived and finished the minor details and when the concrete arrived, the work began. By 3pm that afternoon, the new driveway, walk way and front step were done. The crew cleaned up and it appeared as though no work had been done that day.  That evening, Mr. Himchak arrived to discuss the work that had been done. When I explained my complete satisfaction with the work, I paid him and he explain the details again that we had discussed in our first meeting.

John came out to do an estimate within 24 hours and the price was right! He scheduled the job in less two weeks and his crew did a great job!   I am going to use him for all my home improvement jobs, assuming the price continues to be right, and I would recommend him to my family & friends.  The only suggestion: make sure you either pull your rugs up or lay down something - I forgot to pull up a white rug and they walked on it and ruined it.

The project went extremely well. I had brick steps and landings that needed to be replaced. Jim Himchak was very responsive and he provided excellent workers and they did a professional job. They took away all the old material and left the area clean.

Under promised and Over Delivered, which is how I do business.  So I very much appreciated no unpleasant surprises.  The job was done ahead of schedule and took less than a week to complete.  I am very impressed with the quality of the labor.  This is so much nicer than a plain concrete patio.

This was a nice job from start to finish.  John H wanted to come out a few hours after I called.  I had to tell him to wait a day!  Always the utmost in professionalism.   We negotiated price, briefly.   Two days later, my driveway was gone.   The next day, I had a new one.  Today, they finished the final touches (some filling in of dirt, and removal of the wooden mold that contains the concrete.  I'll be able to park a car on it in three more days.

They came out and inspected everything.  I received a quote from them and felt that the price was a bit high, so I decided not to use them.

Mr. Hemchek responded immediately to my request for an estimate.  He came back for a second time (since I couldn't be present for the first visit) to make some slight clarifications/adjustments.  This experience was the kind of experience you wish you could have with all contractors/vendors.   The job was started on the proposed date and finished in 2 days.   His crew arrived early and worked until dark.  When the job was finished all debris was removed.  The work is beautiful.  Neighbors were stopping to watch them work.  I saw several people stop and ask for business cards.  If only all contractors worked all this!

I picked a list of contractors from Angie's list to get estimates.  John was the first one to respond, and he was at my house within a few hours of talking to him.  He quickly looked the situation over, showed me some pictures of similar work he had done, then sat down to write out a detailed estimate.  The price was a little higher than I was expecting, though not prohibitively, and he made a point of emphasizing the quality/amount of materials in his quote and his lifetime guarantee.

We were a little more cautious than usual for this job, since it is the largest single item expense we've had since recently buying the house and the end result will be set in stone (so to speak).  We were surprised at the range of proposals and ended up getting 3 more quotes with 1coming in higher than JHI and 2 others that were lower but in the same ballpark. 

In the end, we chose from the ones who wrote the most detail in their estimates because it was really the only way to accurately compare what they were offering for the price, especially when thinking back to estimates 2 weeks in the past.  Even so, we had to call them back to clarify a few points before making a decision.  When we called John again with questions, he again came out on the same evening to look in person, and from our questions it seemed that we would need more extensive work to get everything we needed.

John offered us a significantly discounted price for including the additional work of constructing concrete retaining walls along both sides of the driveway, and we took it.  John came out at a later date with his foreman to go over the site again a few days before starting the work, and he was patient in answering our questions when we called in the meantime.  The morning of the job, we just made sure the water was turned on outside before leaving for work.  JHI brought their own gas generator for electricity.

When I came home from work that evening, the workers were putting on the broom finish at the end of the job.  I must admit that it is an amazingly good looking driveway - much better looking than we had imagined while discussing it.  The concrete retaining walls were done simply and cleanly, and the whole drive looks attractive and professionally done.  We're looking forward to being able to unload groceries from the driveway.  Water seems to be running away from that side of the house now, so I'm looking forward to a drier basement in the future as well.

John came back the next day to remove the forms and do backfill cleanup, and that is when he collected his payment.  We are obviously pleased with the work that JHI did for us, and we would definitely consider them for other jobs in the future.  They were punctual, professional, and they did good quality work.

They were prompt in coming out and giving me the estimate.  They were very nice, but the estimate was high.  I didn't spend any money for it.  I thought the price for the concrete removal was extremely expensive.  I would not consider using them in the future because of the high price.

They provided great service. They were very accomodating.

He came in punctually. The estimate was a little high-$8,000.00.Work was performed on schedule. Workers damaged gutters, but when I called, they came back and fixed them.

The owner was very concerned about my feedback with Angie's List, which leads me to believe that he gets a lot of business from here.

I would hire again-I would check around for a cheaper price, though.

The service and follow up was prompt.  But the work itself seemed rushed.  It seems like they took the concrete setter's out too soon and the porch sunk.  I followed up with management and they came out and repaired the problem.  They used slate tiling to get it a more astetic look and to hide the problem.

I am very satisfied with them. They did a great job. They were finished in two days when they initially said it would take four days.

The work was performed in the manner described and in the time promised. 

Went very well.  Very responsive, and was able to schedule promptly and complete the work as scheduled.

The foreman and the owner John, both were pretty responsive. First time the contractors came, they did the job all in one day. They rushed the job a little bit and as a result, the porch sank. They did the floorings off the porch too early. I told them it didn't look good. They came in and made it look better. They agreed to put in a flagstone to cover up the concrete and leveled it out a little bit. I got the job done correctly.

Competitively priced. Has done great job!

I contacted the company for a quote.  He showed up, provided me a quote.  I agreed to it and he sent me a contract.  The company showed up on the job site and performed the work specified in the contract.  They did a great job; left the job site clean.  I was very pleased.

He called back within a few hours, said he was booked solid for much of the year, and recommended someone else for the job I described.  I was very impressed that he took the time to let me know he could not do my job, when many, if not most, would simply not have bothered to call back and that he gave me the name and phone number of someone he could recommend.  Every business could learn a valuable lesson from the excellent customer service provided by this company.

John is responsive to his customers and prides himself on quality work and maintaining a good professional reputation. He was quick to give an estimate, quick to schedule the work, and quick to complete as promised. His employees were prompt and curteous. John addressed all of my concerns and a great job was done overall.
