The contractor came on time on the first day, and had a large enough crew to complete the trenching and installing of the gravel backfill and drain tile before they left for the day. The second day they were to inject the crack filling and pour and level the concrete after the inspector approved the work to that point. On the second day, instead of a work crew coming, I got a call that said the permit had not been issued, and they could not pour the concrete until they paid for the permit. The permit was withheld because of a disagreement between the contractor and the village clerk concerning an (initially) outdated license for their plumber. They wanted to postpone the concrete work until Monday or tuesday of the next week because they could not get the permit and schedule the inspection earlier. Note - the work was not even supposed to be started before the permit was issued. At this point in time, they submitted an acceptable plumber's license, but were not able to make the payment for the permit on a timely basis. I volunteered to go to the village and buy the permit if that would get the project back on track, and the contractor agreed. The village clerk and inspector was very accommodating to squeeze an extra appointment by the inspector with only a few hours notice, and the inspector came at 3 PM of that day. The contractor scheduled the concrete truck for 3:30, but it did not come until about 4 PM. The Contractor's crew came about 3:30 to complete the preparation for the pour, and to seal the cracks. It appears that by delaying the project, they did a poor quality job on the crack sealing - they did not allow the epoxy that was to seal the wall and keep the crack filler in the crack to dry and harden adequately, and as the crack filler expanded, it burst through the epoxy and into the room. (photos attached). Worse, it also burst up from the wet concrete. It took about 36 hours before these effects occurred and were noticeable. They also took my old sump pump, but later returned it. A second major problem was that they did not cut a clean edge in the concrete. When they poured the concrete to fill the trench, they appeared to be rushed for time, and did not do a high quality workmanlike job in leveling and feathering the surface near the edge of the old floor. There are pits and uneven sub-level gaps. I sent them photos of the problems, and they promised to respond.They agreed to send a team to address the extruded crack filler. From this point in time, communications with their operations manager has deteriorated from "great" during the job, to "poor - late in returning calls". When the team was scheduled to appear between 8 and 9 in the morning, they did not arrive until around noon. The satisfactorily addressed the wall problems and leveled some of the high points of the concrete, but did not fill in the spalled areas or depressions near the junction with the basement floor. After further contact with the operations manager, I received an email that asserted "the concrete, being a float finish, has met quality standards." In my opinion, the floor defects, if not patched, will reduce the resale value of the house by more than it will cost to correct. To summarize the failures during this project: 1 - Failure to get a permit before starting the work 2 - Failure to inform me that then did not have a construction permit before the work was started 3 - Failure to complete the work on the schedule agreed (due to the permit issue) 4 - Failure of the crack sealing process, probably due to rushing and inadequate drying time between the epoxy and the sealant injection 5 - Poor internal communications, resulting in taking my old sump pump, which was to be left as a spare. 6 - Failure to return phone calls and schedule the repair in the timeframe promised 7 - Failure to call me when they knew they would be late for the last appointment, leaving me to waste a morning. 8 - Failure to address the final concrete finish problem Factors affecting grades: Responsiveness: Good up until the second work day, slow second day, good for wall repair, failed for floor corrections Quality: Waterproofing appears to be effective - not enough time to get experience with heavy rains. Walls required rework, floor finish will need an outside contractor to correct. Punctuality: Sales person was always on time, Telephone calls returned promptly until job started. Punctionality suffered both in workmen arriving, return of phone calls, and acquisition of construction permit. Professionalism: Rated low because it is unprofessional to work without a valid permit, and the tardy permit caused the concrete finishing to be rushed and of poor quality.
In response to Keith's comments, I never asked for a check - only that the cracks shown in the photos be repaired.. Keith cannot refute any of the claims, because they are accurate. I have photos of the work that show the wall problems, which he did fix. In addressing inaccuracies, they were out on two days to do the work. Then they were out one day to assess the wall problem and a second day to repair it. They never came a third day."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/orland-park/american-crawlspace-and-basement-corp-reviews-2352531.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"SIW Windows and Doors","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"FL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Charlene L."},"reviewBody":"They were very timely - daily arrival times were spot on.

"Jim and his company (Custom Concrete Resurfacing) was very professional from start to finish.

FAQs for concrete finishing projects in Delray Beach, FL
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
The average cost of stamped concrete is around $12 per square foot, but you might pay anywhere from $8 to $28 per square foot. The average 12-foot by 12-foot patio costs $1,730 on average. Your exact pricing will depend on the patio’s square footage, the condition of the area where you want to pour the concrete, the desired stamp pattern, concrete coloring, concrete grade, and local labor prices. Don’t forget to budget for extra costs like land preparation and additional concrete fortifications if necessary.
Depending on the cost to repair your driveway, it may be more cost effective to tear out and replace it with a new concrete driveway. The cost to repave a driveway ranges between $1,400 and $12,100, including removal of the old concrete. Contact a reputable concrete contractor for advice and an estimate. They may have a good reason for going with repairs or replacement after assessing your driveway. You may also have the option to resurface your driveway or pave over it without taking out the existing one.
It’s possible to create stamped concrete yourself, but we don’t recommend it and it’s often not cost-effective. It’s easy to mess up the pattern of a stamped concrete patio or walkway, leaving you with an unsightly home exterior rather than the elegant solution you wanted. Any mistakes made during the ground leveling and concrete pouring process will also increase the risk of cracks forming on your concrete. Additionally, buying enough stamps to get the pattern in before your concrete cures can cost as much as hiring a professional to do the work for you.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
