The water abatement wall was not in Dan's wheelhouse and ended up not working at all, so we weren't able to get the lower cracks fixed. Dan poured us a very nice cap to the seawall and widened it so that it could be walked on. He also created a notch for our pier to be mounted in. He was able to fix a couple of heavily damaged spots above the water line and one significant crack in the seawall. The problem is with the cracks that he wasn't able to fix. Those cracks propagated up into the new cap almost immediately which is unfortunate. Overall, Dan has extremely good pricing and his flatwork looks excellent. I'm disappointed that the repairs didn't take place when the water level was low enough because it diminishes what would be an otherwise beautiful job. The quality mark is really a B+ or an A-, but Angie's List doesn't allow those. We have patio and driveway work that we will definitely have Dan do when the time comes, so this overall B review isn't really as negative as it might seem. I think dealing with the water was probably too much for Dan, but everything else is fine. I would recommend Molnar Construction for your concrete work.

At that time I gave Mr. Johnson a deposit of $6,000.00. Work was to commence on November 11, 2013, time was of the essence in this contract. The possibility of inclement weather delays was discussed and it was agreed that under no circumstances was work to begin later than March 1, 2014 or completed later than March 15, 2014. During the discussion on November 8, 2013, Mr. Johnson showed me colors and stamp patterns available. Mr. Johnson stated he had some colors on hand from previous jobs. One of the reasons I chose the colors I did was because Mr. Johnson could start sooner and charge less if I chose some of these colors. On May 5, 2014, Mr. Johnson finally began work. Mr. Johnson arrived at 7:30 am with a crew of two men, and hand equipment only. Mr. Johnson informed the homeowners, he required an additional $1,000.00 to rent a jackhammer and dump truck. I gave him a check and he left. His two workers removed the front and back walkways, and began to remove the garage apron. Mr. Johnson returned at 1:30 that afternoon, it was determined that a jackhammer was needed to remove the rear stoop and the remaining garage apron. Mr. Johnson stated he would rent one and be on the job site at 7:00 a.m. the next morning. He and his crew worked until 2:30 and left. On May 6, 2014, Mr. Johnson called at approximately 7:15 a.m. and stated he was in Joliet, Ill but could not rent a jackhammer because he did not have a major credit card. He asked Mr. Berry to rent a jackhammer from Menards and said he would reimburse him for the rental fees when he arrived later that day. When Mr. Johnson and his two man crew arrived they still had only hand tools. After some very brief instruction on the use of the jackhammer, Mr. Johnson left almost immediately for an appointment. His crew attempted to contact him several times during the day because they were having problems removing the apron and back stoop. Per his crew Mr. Johnson never responded. Mr. Johnson arrived back at the job at 1:30 p.m. After removing apron and backdoor stoop, Mr. Johnson and his crew left at 4:15 p.m. Mr. Johnson informed the homeowner, he might not be on the job site at 7:00 on May 7, 2014, but he had given his crew instructions for the day?s work. May 7, 2014, nobody from Red?s Concrete showed up to work. That evening I received a text message stating he would be at the job site the next day May, 8th. May 8, 2014 once again Red?s Concrete did not show up at the job site. I received a text stating they would be at there in the morning, May 9, 2014. May 9, 2014 once again Red? Concrete did not show up at the job site. Received yet another text stating they would be there at 7:00 a.m. on the dot Saturday, May 10, 2014. Mr. Johnson arrived at 9:30 that morning. He did not have a crew with him nor did he have a dump trunk. At that time Mr. Berry informed Mr. Johnson he could not tolerate any more excuses or delays. He told Mr. Johnson that because he had long since breached the contract he wanted the money he was owed and told him he would find someone else to do the job. Jeff Berry asked Mr. Johnson to bring a check to his home by 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 13, 2014. Mr. Berry sent Mr. Johnson a text message on Tuesday morning as a reminder. At 7:50 a.m. Mr. Johnson phoned Mr. Berry to tell him he did not have the money, but would like to meet to discuss payment arrangements.

I hired Altered Surfaces to stain and seal my concrete basement floor. He came out in May and said he'd do the floor for $2500. A few weeks after the floor was done, it started cracking, peeling and bubbling. I contacted Altered Surfaces regarding the problem. He said it sounded like MVT...

We contracted with Dan at the end of September 2013 to perform repairs to our seawall. Our lake fluctuates in height significantly during the year and we wanted the repairs done in the fall because the lake was low. In fact, in October of that year, the seawall was exposed all the way down...

FAQs for concrete wall construction projects in Galesburg, IL
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.
