REASONS FOR BAD REVIEW: 1) Measurement of bath room was measured wrong, Not allowing for new 1/2" wallboard being installed. 2) Different Decals on sink bowls were put in wrong bowls 3) Wallboard installed without insuring walls are flat, therefore tall linen closet is not flush and square against wall. 4) DOES NOT WORK WITH CONTRACT. 5) PRICE QUOTED WAS 5400.00 6) DEPOSIT 3300.00 7) BILLED PRICE TOTAL 8540.13 8) Charged hourly rate for loading product into trailer to move to house. 9) DID NOT CLEAN UP AFTER DAYS WORK. In order for us to go to bed at night we had to clean up the cardboard that was around the cabinets and onyx. He installed the shower doors wrong. 10) WHEN HE SPRAYED THE ORANGE PEEL FOR THE WALLS HE SPRAYED EVERYTHING. WE HAD TO REPLACE THREE LIGHT FIXTURES AS WELL AS SCRAPE THE STUFF OFF OF THE NEW TUB AND SINKS. 11) After all this he put a builders lean on our house when we disputed the workmanship and the time it took.

He explained everything he had done and showed me how it all worked with and without power. Also explained the remote system.

It took almost a week for Paul to call me back. This was back in February. The same thing happened when I called to hire Armstrong. I left a message and it took several days for him to call me. He called the week the work was to be done to tell me they would be there 3 days vs the 1 day I was expecting. He told me they were behind due to the rain. Here is where I get frustrated. I got home after they had started tearing out the old walk and porch. He asked if we were doing a step down to the street and I said no. What he didn't explain was that by not doing a step, there was going to be a huge drop off between the yard and the sidewalk. I would expect as the expert, he would explain the consequences. He also told me he couldn't haul away the old sod and asked what to do with it. I told him landscapers were coming behind him and that he could leave the sod on the old walkway. Again, what he didn't tell me was that old sod included a 5 foot pile of dirt that he was going to pile on the lawn. First, it seems weird that he couldn't take it. When I told the landscapers about it, they couldn't understand either. What do people do if they don't have a landscaper following? Second, he should have explained how much dirt there would be and suggested a better place for it. When the landscapers came a few days later, they were blown away by what Armstrong had left behind. They had to regrade a lot more than expected and had to call in more sod. They also had to spend hours removing the massive dirt pile. They told me multiple times they had never seen anything left so badly and asked for the name of the company so they could ensure not to recommend them. I paid about $500 extra in landscaping work because of the extra regrading & the dirt pile. The concrete work looks very nice but I was unhappy with every other aspect of the job. The grass got burned where they left their forms, they almost killed the lawn by driving the bobcat over it to pile up the dirt, they didn't clean the concrete splatter off our new door, they left behind some re-bar and the way they left the job cost us a lot of extra money. I didn't know any better but they should have. I felt like I was taken advantage of because they knew someone was coming behind them to clean up their mess. I didn't even bother to call and complain because the damage was done and I doubt Paul will offer to compensate me for the additional cost I paid out. Even though that all could have been prevented if he just would have communicated some of his experience to me."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/minneapolis/armstrong-concrete-inc-reviews-108112.htm"},"position":4},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Bluhm Brothers Landscaping Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jacqueline M."},"reviewBody":"I was incredibly impressed with this company from start to finish. We have had trouble with water getting into the basement because the land has settled around the house. I met with Eden first to discuss what I wanted to do. Initially, I just planned to regrade around the house and re-sod the old walkway. Eden offered to put in plants too and told me he wouldn't charge me the labor to do it if I chose to do so. He told me I could set up with an appointment with Lucy who would help me select plants. He also suggested burying the downspouts to direct more water away from the home. Not only did Eden have great suggestions, he also had a fantastic personality. I really enjoyed talking to him while I was getting a quote. The quote I got was very detailed and specified everything they would do. The price also seemed very reasonable. I liked the company so much on first impression, I didn't even bother to get other quotes. Next I worked with Lucy, the plant guru. I told her I am not great with plants so she made suggestions that would be very low maintenance. I really let her pick everything because I don't know much about plants. She later emailed a list of the plants so I could look them up and make sure I liked them. I loved everything she picked out and gave her the green light. Eden called a day before to make sure we were ready for them and said they would arrive at 7:30 AM. On the day of the job, the whole crew was there right on time. Eden came to talk to my husband and I right away. The problem was that our new sidewalk by the street was about a foot lower than the lawn. Our quote didn't include the amount of regrading that was neccessary to make the walk look right. The concrete workers had also left all the dirt they had removed in a 6 foot pile on our lawn which Bluhm Brothers was not expecting to have to remove. I had told the concrete company (Armstrong Concrete) that landscapers were coming behind them and Eden and John were extremely frustrated with the mess the concrete company had left knowing someone would be coming to clean up after them. So they had to call and get more sod delivered for the additional grading around the walk. They had a lot of unexpected work but they were great about it. They did what they had to do to get it done. The job cost a bit more as a result but it was clearly justified. The crew was there all day and they did a fantastic job. Lucy came and placed the plants and patiently explained how to care for them. The land slopes away from the house like it should and the area around the sidewalk looks great. They made everything look seamless. The landscaping looks fantastic as well. We have had tons of compliments from the neighbors. I couldn't be happier with the results. We really enjoyed working with Bluhm Brothers and HIGHLY reccomend them."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/saint-paul/bluhm-brothers-landscaping-inc-reviews-64601.htm"},"position":5}]}

"I hired this company to repair hail damage on my home in 2023. The job was to replace the roofs on my house and garage as well as siding and gutters on my house. Long story short they came out and did the roofs in a timely manner, the siding and gutters not so much. Communication was lacking and they tried to charge me way more than what my insurance scope was. I had to get a lawyer involved. He sued me and we went to court.

Rising S Bunkers offers the best underground steel shelters, bomb shelters, safe rooms & blast doors on the market. We lead the industry in quality and we have the highest standards for craftsmanship in underground bunkers and other emergency shelters. The Rising S standard of quality is unmatched by any other bunker company on the market today. Additionally, every project is completely customizable. Many customization's are available at no additional cost.
"Not even sure where to begin with this nightmare which I will now need to spend more money in legal just to get my money back if I'm lucky. It all started back in 2022 when a respectful salesperson Gary sold me on an underground bunker. Still to this day, he answers the phone for me, and he doesn't even work at Rising S company anymore. To keep a long story shorter, I paid over $100K for my unit after being pushed to make payments to 'keep it on the assembly line'. It has been paid in full since August of 2023 (just about 15 months for anyone counting). I received a response (finally) earlier this year in March that there is new ownership of the company, and the man in charge is Brad Dancer. After trying to contact for quite awhile, I did finally get him on the phone. He apologized and explained to me that he's in over his head. Even though I believe I have been more than patient, I agreed to give him some time to finish and deliver my unit. We agreed that August of this year (2024) I would have it. I checked in by email in June to ask if we were still on track. I received a response that we were indeed on track. Now fast forward to today (10/25/24), I have been completely ghosted by email, phone, and text. No responses at all by ANY form of communication. At this point, I realize I have been robbed of over $100K. And after reading many other consumers reviews on different platforms, it appears I'm not the only one. I will now begin my journey with the Attorney General and Legal process. I'll update my status here so anyone can see what happens. At least people can get answers some way. It is not a good feeling to not be able to get a company to call you, especially after they've taken over $100k. You can't even leave a message on the office line ( which no one has EVER answered by the way). I don't understand how a company like this could still be in business. My recommendation to anyone reading this.....I hope it's not too late for you."

FAQs for concrete wall construction projects in Shenandoah, IA
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
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.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
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.
