I think SJ Construction is not a professional company. I had a verbal agreement with SJ Construction that they would complete this job in 3 days, as well as match the new trusses to the existing trusses in the first stall. However they started the job in October and didn't finish until Christmas time the same year. I continually had to call the company office and they continually apologized for the delays. Due the project extending so long I asked the company to hold on pouring the cement until spring, but they poured it anyway in December when the temperature had dropped below zero degrees. Now the concrete is breaking up. When I spoke with the owner of SJ Construction about this he told me I must have put ice melt on the concrete but I hadn't. There are also structural integrity concerns with the second stall they built. When you look at the roof of this second stall, you can see the trusses they installed do not match up to the trusses of the existing first stall garage. SJ Construction must have used the wrong trusses. What I really wanted them to make right with me was to repair the cement work. The owner later told me he would have his cement guy come out to inspect. The cement guy came out but then I heard nothing about what he was willing to do. Therefore I had to call the office and they again said there was nothing they are willing to do because they feel I put ice melt on the concrete."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ia/waterloo/s-j-construction-inc-reviews-470446.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Martinson Construction Co","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Steven C."},"reviewBody":"The concrete work was excellent.

On December 13, 2012 We ordered Windows, gutters with caps, two garage doors and the garage doors were finished last night. May 13, 2013. The windows are great. The Window team was clean and professional. We did wait five extra weeks for that job to finish since two windows were mismeasured, but they all look great. The gutter team was not as clean as the window team. I keep finding screws and brackets in the yard, not to mention the McDonalds trash under my porch. The garage door guy did a great job until my opener broke during installation. We did get a discount on a new opener after that. Once the last parts arrived they finished that job too. I am sure I will not order the front and side entry doors that I had planned when the process first started. Five months from start to finish?

Concrete Finishing reviews from real Angi homeowners in Waterloo, IA
They verified what I wanted to be done and after looking it over-explained what he would be doing. Asked me to inspect it when finished, cleaned up nicely, and went on their way.
Brian was very accommodating getting the work scheduled quickly. The guys were FAST, completely finished in 1 day, even though there were periods of rain. They are very fast and very good at what they do.

"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 Waterloo, 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.
