Get matched with top decorative concrete pros in Carol Stream, IL

"Starting with the estimate (which was comparable to the other estimates I got), Gibran spent more time discussing exactly what I wanted and needed: the old walk was narrow, did I want it widened; squared off or rounded out where it met the garage slab; raising the back walk slightly to eliminate the extra, shallow step at each end; and most usefully, how to work around the 100 year old catalpa, that had lifted and broken the old walk, between it and the house. We ended up adding a curve to the walk, just by the tree, giving it extra space without disturbing the existing tulip bed on the other side of the walk along the house. He and his crew worked quickly and neatly, and did a very nice job. The new walks meet the city sidewalk and garage slab evenly, the curves are smooth, the tree has room, the tulip bed and ivy along the house weren’t disturbed, and now it’s much less of a pain to shovel snow than it used to be! As a bonus, landscaping was not part of the contract, but Gibran found a source of black dirt for us, and when there was a delay (while waiting for the city inspector) after the forms were in place, he and his crew spread the dirt needed to regrade the yard for us, rather than just sit around. I’m very pleased with the work they did for us, enjoyed working with Gibran and his crew, and would definitely recommend 5 Star Concrete & Construction."

"It was great. They were very prompt and professional. I would definitely hire them again."

"Uriel was awesome. This being our first time putting in a new driveway, he explained the whole process and answered all of our questions quickly and professionally during our project. The guys who tore out and replaced our driveway and patio were fast efficient and professional. We're very happy with their work and would recommend them and use them again"

"They were a great company to work with... friendly, courteous, and accommodating. I had a front porch leaning away from the house (from settling), and a walkway leaning toward the house. They patiently answered all my questions, and did a professional job. The new porch and walkway look great and I'm very happy with the results. They told me to apply water to the new cement for a week to prevent cracks. I had never heard of this before, so I'm glad they mentioned it. My only regret (which was my fault, not theirs) is that I didn't put tarps over my groundcover and part of the lawn to avoid having to pick out small pieces of cement. I don't think any contractor does this, so again my fault, but just something to consider for anyone having work done and is picky like me."

"Work done as planned"

"We had our asphalt driveway removed and replaced. The original work looked good - it was completed when we were not at home - bad timing on our part. After one year, we reported some cracking, sent pictures as requested and was told it was normal settling. Year 2, cracks were more pronounced, we sent pictures as requested, and were told someone would come our to look at it. We were ghosted several times, didn't receive return phone calls - it was very frustrating. Couldn't get past customer service to speak to anyone. No owner, no manager, no project manager. Long story short, they refused to "do business with us anymore" and wouldn't stand by their work. Pictures attached of year 3 - don't work with this company."

"Doug & Don were very thorough with explaining the construction process to me and my husband. They built us a large patio with an outdoor kitchen and it turned out beautiful."

"I have used Selvin last winter their salting service and just renewed again. They were prompt, respectful of property and a pleasure to work with. I know I can trust them to be sure my area is free of ice."

"The crews from Irish Castle Paving who worked on my driveway during the preparation for paving, and then again during the actual paving, were highly professional and very courteous. They did a fabulous job, making sure everything was level and being very careful around the recently installed pavers adjacent to my driveway. They were meticulous about cleaning up when they finished. I could not be more pleased with the experience and with my new driveway."

"TMW Enterprises & Beautiful Stones replaced our 20 years old asphalt driveway with an new 3-inch thick asphalt driveway (app. size 850 sqft). The work crew showed up on both days (day 1 - removal old driveway/installing gravel base; day 2: asphalt paving) super punctual at the agreed times. Professional and friendly crew members, very organized, clean work, no mess, and the final result (new driveway) looks great. The agreed total cost is very competitive and worth every dollar. Thank you TMW Enterprises Paving Maintenance, great job."
