"They were prompt, worked hard all day till the job was done, tear out and pour done same day. Went the extra step to protect my grass and plants. Did a great job with clean up. Definitely will recommend them and have already. The only negative is that they did not quite have enough concrete at the very end and had to wait for truck to bring some more."
"Ernesto and his crew did great work. They put in the forms one day and back the next to pour concrete. I would gladly hire them again if I have need of any more concrete work. I highly recommend them."
"He did the work, then the concrete developed chotes, I called him, he came out, and he told me that they would be back to do some touch-up work. I have called him over 5 times and he tells me that they will come out to fix the problem. It has been over 7 months of consistent contact and they still have not fixed the problem.
After my complaint, John sent someone to repair the defect and it is repaired to the best of their ability and as well as could be expected."

"The concrete under one door is not level. Snow blows in under the door. I am going to have to grind down the high concrete in order for the door to seal completely."
Concrete Resurfacing questions, answered by experts
The ideal base for concrete is even, firm, and permeable to encourage drainage. Depending on your project's weight requirements, a combination of gravel, sand, or other aggregates is best. While you can technically pour concrete over grass, dirt, or an old piece of concrete, you risk threatening the concrete's stability.
Ensures smooth finishes and extends the life of surfaces.
Concrete resurfacing is the process of applying a new, thin layer of concrete over an existing concrete slab to enhance its appearance and durability. The terms 'concrete resurfacing' and 'concrete overlay' are often used interchangeably, though the exact meaning can vary between contractors. Generally, both refer to applying a layer of pre-blended concrete, typically between 1/4-inch and 1-inch thick. Some contractors may use 'overlay' to describe a thicker application that adds structural integrity, while 'resurfacing' might refer to a thinner, more cosmetic layer. This process is a cost-effective alternative to completely replacing the concrete, as it uses significantly less material than pouring a new 4-inch slab. Resurfacing also provides an opportunity to add new colors or stamped textures. Other names for this process include concrete restoration, concrete refinishing, and concrete rejuvenation.
While certain kits make DIY possible, professionals ensure durability and quality of finish, which is vital for high-moisture areas like baths.
A layer of exposed aggregate concrete should be 1 to 2 inches thick if you’re installing it on top of existing concrete. If you’re pouring a new slab with the finish, slab thickness will depend on the application. Exposed aggregate concrete driveways should be 4 to 6 inches thick in most cases or 8 to 12 inches for commercial vehicles. Sidewalks, patios, and walkways should be 4 inches thick.
