The walkways were already showing signs of crumbling a few weeks later, and I don't doubt that they won't make it through the winter. There were cuts made to existing concrete in the back of the house with power saws which I found out weeks later may have cut into the underground electrical wiring that led from the house to the garage, which I had to have fixed to the tune of $1000.00 out of my pocket. When the wiring was removed by the electrician, there were obvious straight cuts on the wires, but since I could not 100% blame it on the concrete workers, I ate the cost.
I made repeated phone calls and sent emails, and received a phone call back confirming that the project manager saw the problems, acknowledged that they did not do a good job and that further repairs would need to be done. I followed up with an email where I was sent a reply stating they would schedule the repairs for me, but I got no results. My phone calls were met with " We will fix your problems when we have another job in your neighborhood". Three months later when I asked "If you don't get another job in my neighborhood, are you never going to fix your errors?, and I was told they would call me back in a few days. Suffice it to say, my calls were subsequently ignored and I was left with concrete which looks worse than what I started out with, crumbling concrete, horrible looking front steps, ruined landscaping that I can't fix until the concrete is repaired again, and a ruined back lawn from the ditch that had to be dug to repair my electric. All in all one of the worst contractors I have ever dealt with. They should not be doing work that they are obviously not qualified or skilled to do. A total disappointment. I would never, ever recommend this contractor to anyone.

I was told it would be a 3 day job and that the concrete would be poured first thing in the morning when they were ready to go. On the first day of demolition it was discovered that the outside wall would need to be shored up with cinder blocks before the concrete could be poured. When I discussed this with Chris he said he would only charged me for the extra supplies needed to fix this and the cinder block wall would be placed against the outside wall. He estimated it to around $400. I agreed to this. The second day that I got home, they were in the process of finishing off the cinder block wall. What I didn't know (because they didn't inform me) was they had taken down the outside wall, removed the ceiling and light fixture from the closet and were in my home all without my permission or knowledge. When I called Chris to complain his only response was \"Well I trust my guys\". His total lack of concern for my property was unbelievable and that he had destroyed my closet. Which I will now have to pay to have fixed. Then he assured me that the concrete would be poured first thing tomorrow and the job would be complete. He also informed me that he would give me my final balance tomorrow. So the next day I contacted Chris late morning to find out how the job had gone and what my total balance for the extra supplies where. I was informed it still wasn't done and he would try to get to it around 1 that afternoon. Also he decided that he wanted to \"pay his men some extra money\" so he was now charging me $700 for the extra supplies. When I told him I wanted an itemized bill for all the work that was done, he informed me he would see to it and mail it to me. I never received a bill. Well the concrete didn't get poured until late that afternoon, I got home around 6 pm and they were only 1/2 thru with the job. Once again after I told him I didn't want people in my house without my knowledge, his men were once again in my house with out my permission. They had also left my house unlocked which I didn't discover until late that night. It also ended up taking an extra 3 days to get them to come out and remove the boards. Each day I called to have the job completed I was told it would be taken care of that day. Finally on that saturday I had to call Chris 4 times before anyone showed up to finish the job. And each call to him I was told they would be at my house within 15 minutes. This took almost 4 hours of calls before they showed up. And now 4 months after the work was done, one of my slabs is cracked right down the middle. I would not recommend this company for any concrete jobs."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/glenview/purepour-concrete-and-masonry-llc-reviews-2342564.htm"},"position":10}]}

Sergio called on Friday. He gave us an estimate that seemed reasonable. He said that he could start the work on Saturday, which he did. He tore up what was existing on Saturday and poured the concrete on Monday. He did a nice decorative finish to the concrete. Both areas look very nice
Fixed the leak in a day, inspected the following day and concrete was poured. Kids destroyed concrete after hours, did my best to smooth out.

Service was excellent, I could not have asked for better. Jose responded to and answered any question I had. Quality of the concrete is top notch and they did a great job clean up. I will use them again for any concrete needs.
I would truly love to give a review to Dave's Concrete, however, they never called me back. I'm not going to chase someone down to give them work.

"After receiving several estimates for the work ranging from $2,500 to over $15,000, I decided to proceed with JC & Son Masonry. Greg provided the initial estimate and his attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly / low-pressure demeanor impressed us from the beginning. He spent an hour walking around the property and noting the areas needing repair, took many pictures, and explained the scope of the work. He provided a detailed estimate with pictures and also made some helpful recommendations to address a drainage issue near our garage. When the time came to perform the work, Greg and his brother, Jake, sent their crew of skilled professionals, who showed up early every day exactly when they said they would, worked long hours (even in the summer heat), and did quality repairs. After the repairs were completed, Greg performed a "quality control" walk-through and noted a few areas needing touch up, which his crew promptly addressed the following week. I am very happy with work and would hire JC & Son Masonry again without hesitation. Greg and Jake run an old school (in a good way) family business that takes pride in performing quality masonry work. Highly recommended!"

We are a small business. We were established in 2012. Most of business is from word of mouth. We specialize in all line of concrete work, fencing, sodding and landscaping.
"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."

FAQs for concrete wall construction projects in Harwood Heights, 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.
