The dumb thing was he had a sob story about needing money so we paid him $500 up front for materials and after the second (part day of work) he asked for another $1,500 due to another "sob" story about some other check bouncing from a different job - so we paid him. The guy never came back to work again - no new breaker box, no outlets installed outside, no ceiling fans installed. His phone number is disconnected, This guy is a con-artist, don't feel sorry for him or give him a second chance w/ his sob story. Now we have about $40 of conduit underground that cost me $2,000. We have a real electrician coming to finish the job today. Life is not easy, honest work will be rewarded with honest pay - Mike Heidemann is not an honest person he is a con-man. Please do not make the same mistake we made - do not hire this guy!

In the additions that he did, he did not do any finishing of the floor work. He just put in the strand board floors. I had to put the tile in. He didn't do that. I of course had problems with it because I had never done it before. I told him that he needed to put in screws every 8 inches in the laundry room and he said "That's not how I do it". Usually, when I need something done, he sends a young, inexperienced helper over to do work that he has never done it before. Stacy just let him go!
He ruined my counter top and never came back to fix the scratches.

Great! Josh was friendly and went over what it would take to do this, and then move it back when the contractor is finished. I received an estimate and agreed to the price. He also replaced one of the outside faucets that was leaking.

Caleb did a great job. He has very good eye for detail. He managed to level and install a hardwood floor in a very old house that was not an easy task. The cabinets were hung perfectly and he even stain matched a few custom pieces to make the kitchen look even more finished. I trust Caleb and...

Al was very timely in getting back to me with a quote after our initial conversation. Work was performed when he said it would be and we are very pleased with the finished product. Quality work for a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for roof or siding.
I thought they did a very good job. They were conscientious and very professional. They did nice finish work and were very thorough.They were a little expensive. I would use them again.

"He is a newer contractor. He never came when promised so we waited. He skipped a day after promising to be there. He asked for more money after giving us a written quote, the fence was crooked but it passed inspection, and made lots of miscuts. I think he will get better after he is in business for a few years."

FAQs for concrete finishing projects in La Porte City, IA
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.
