"Vargas and his crew did a superb job for us last week, tuck pointing our house and garage, fixing our front steps, and repairing a furnace chimney that was in bad shape. Their work was excellent and they went way beyond what we expected by fixing bad spots on the house that they noticed. The price was extremely reasonable and the crew did a nice job cleaning things up. Definitely recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat."

"We had a huge driveway challenge for Meramec Hardscapes and they met the challenge. We had a collapsing driveway due to water flow issues. We live at the bottom of a hill in a subdivision with no storm sewers. They came out and assessed the situation and came up with a solution. They installed a French drain at the top of the driveway and put in curbing around the driveway to direct the flow of water down to a concrete swale at the bottom of the driveway. We have had several hard rains since the completion of the project and it seems to have solved our problem and is working fine. We found the owner, Dan, and his project manager, Matt, to be very accommodating when we had any issues or questions. We would highly recommend this company."

Super Service Award Winner for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019,2020.Hoffman Concrete LLC is a family owned and operated company serving the St. Louis and surrounding areas. We offer competitive pricing, unmatched customer service, and quality workmanship in residential and commercial concrete. From your driveway or decorative stamped patio to a commercial concrete parking lot or private subdivision street replacement. We also design and build outdoor living areas, such as: outdoor kitchens, outdoor bars, outdoor fireplaces, pizza ovens, fire pits with sitting walls, water features, stamped concrete bench and table sets that look like barn wood, we install brick and stone mailbox's, including tuckpointing. We build pavilions, pergolas, decks, covered patios, carports , and fences. We offer polymer modified cementitious overlays, hermetic flake floors, & reflector enhancer floors when tear out and replace is not a option. Our staff has the experience and all the right equipment to design, build, and complete any project on time and on budget. We are fully insured with general liability, and workman's comp insurance. Our reputation is as solid as concrete.
"In the beginning, Hoffman provided a fair, albeit not outstanding, bid. It was good that they responded to our request for a proposal when other concrete companies would not. The proposal was agreed upon in December of 2017 during the winter, so work was not expected until the spring. Once the project was started, there were several weather interruptions, which slowed the project down, but were acceptable given the circumstances. We had agreed upon a stamped concrete porch and sidewalk (Majestic Ashlar Stamp, Lanon Stone base, Smoke Release) with brick borders to match the brick on our house. The initial parts of the installation were fine ... in fact, good ... and we really liked the brick accents. Hoffman's brick person did an excellent job. The first problem occurred when the front steps were originally incorrectly measured. The 2 steps were very different in height, which would have posed a problem with people miscalculating their steps. Hoffman tore the steps down and rebuilt them, so we ended up with 3 steps all about 7 inches. Problem solved. The major problem, and the reason for the D rating, is that the stamping resulted in extremely noticeable imperfections (i.e., "pockmarks") in the finished walk. Hoffman claims that these were a normal part of the stamping process and that such irregularities are always possible. However, the nature of the imperfections are extreme, far from what can be expected normally. First, they are not systematic -- they occur at two distinct portions of the walk, forming a pattern which would not happen with normal imperfections. Second, in talking to other concrete experts, they quickly and independently identified the imperfections as a result of too aggressive smoothing of the edges of the concrete before the stamping was applied. In other words, a result of the work performed, not a natural characteristic of this stamp pattern. Repeated attempts to resolve this with Hoffman have been unsuccessful. Based on this, our original rating was a D. After several months, Mr. Hoffman arrived at our home to further discuss the issue. He apologized for the worked described above and explained the circumstances that led to his not responding to us in a timely manner in 2018. He has agreed to repair the work at no additional cost to us. We were impressed with Mr. Hoffman’s conscientiousness and have agreed to him re-doing the sidewalk. Given that, we have elevated our rating to a B."

When you’re hiring a concrete contractor, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective concrete contractor:
Do you use stone or sand for base material?
How thick do you usually pour concrete?
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
How long have you worked with your subcontractors?
How do you handle garbage and waste disposal?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done in photos and the actual project?
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.
Yes, concrete contractors should be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed concrete contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. States have different requirements for concrete contractor licensing, so be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
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.
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.
