First, I live in an area that is known to have high levels of radon gas, so I put down a 6 mil plastic vapor barrier on top of the base course of gravel. Chamberlain Concrete then added rebar, tied it together and supported it with rebar chairs (supports). The rebar chairs were inappropriate for the application and had narrow feet, that when the crew stepped on them, punctured holes in the vapor barrier, everywhere. (There are rebar chairs available locally that clamp on the rebar and have about a 2" round disc that supports it on the ground. ) I then came in behind them, myself, and repaired all of the MANY holes in the vapor barrier with Duct tape. On the day of the pour, I asked the crew to not step on the rebar, as it caused the rebar chairs to puncture holes in the vapor barrier. They acknowledged my request and proceeded to step on every single piece of rebar they came across. Not only pushing the rebar to the bottom of the slab, but also puncturing holes in the vapor barrier. Awesome. On the first test, my radon level was 200 times the EPA recommended level. Now that's professionalism. About 6 weeks later, it was time to pour the floor of my garage. They were scheduled to pour on a Wednesday, and I traveled into town on Tuesday night to be present for the pour. When I landed and turned on my phone, I got a voice mail saying they had to cancel and reschedule for Friday. I was unable to stay for Friday as I had to be at work, 300 miles away. The description I then got of the day of the pour came from my framing contractor. He relayed that all of the concrete was delivered at once, for what is a 2,000 sq ft garage floor. (4 car garage + a mud room). Some of the concrete sat for a couple hours in a heap while they worked concrete in other areas of the garage. When it was all done, I had large cracks and heaving fault lines in one stall and the mud room. Absolutely horrible. I was sucker enough to allow them back to complete my driveway and sidewalks a couple months later. Fortunately for me they stood me up twice more and I never called them back. I had another concrete contractor finish the job, who did excellent work. That gave me even more remorse for not using them in the first place. Avoid Chamberlain Concrete and Jensen Concrete and Construction if at all possible."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/id/idaho-falls/chamberlain-concrete-inc-reviews-7353027.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Jensen Concrete","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"LA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Erin D."},"reviewBody":"Jensen Concrete and Construction arrived when they said they would. When they arrived, it was disclosed that their forms for the basement walls were not as tall as was expected. Prior to the pour, the town inspector took issue with how the rebar was placed in some of the forms, particularly as it was bent around the corners and was against the outer edge of the form. Rebar should be offset to the inside of the wall rather than being centered in the form so that it can provide reinforcement under tension during backfill and compacting. After the pour it was discovered that they ordered 5-sack concrete rather than 6-sack concrete as was specified in the bid. They also watered it down to make it easier to work with via the pump truck further reducing the ultimate yield strength of the concrete. They finished pouring the foundation walls at about 4-5 pm. At 9 am the next morning the forms had all been removed! Forms should remain in place for at least 3 days, and early removal of forms can reduce final strength by as much as 45%. I was in disbelief, and when I asked the company owner about it, he stated that the concrete wouldn't \"dry\" without removing the forms. Apparently he hasn't spent 30 minutes reading about concrete, or he would know that concrete cures by a chemical reaction that requires water and takes weeks to months to cure. Strength of concrete is based on 28 days of curing. If concrete is allowed to dry out, the curing process is interrupted and design strength will not be met. Where walkways for doors or garage doors were to be, they did not provide a form to prevent the concrete from flowing up to a level higher than the floor or bottom of the door. This I guess was their standard practice and their method of removing the excess concrete was to stand on the wall, and knock out the door and garage door openings with a sledge hammer. As they did this, the whole wall could be seen shaking. When I pulled out my camera, they immediately stopped. When the company founder (father) was asked about the practice he shook his head and said that his son was now in charge and he couldn't tell him what to do. Jensen Concrete failed to install an \"uffer\" ground, per international building code, in the footing and a second footing had to be poured along the base of the foundation and tied into the real footing to accommodate it. My first floor is supported by steel I-beams that span the basement walls and rest in beam pockets. The beam pockets were broken out when they removed the forms early and only a couple of the beam pockets had a flat surface for a beam to rest on. My overall experience was terrible."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/id/rigby/jensen-concrete-reviews-6699489.htm"},"position":10}]}

"After setting an appointment for peicing wct waited over a month for the appointment only to get a text less than 24 hours before the set time saying it would need recheduling. Was told he would contact me in a Day or two to rechedule. I reitterated how dire the itutoon was but never heard from them again. Just left us wondering and wasted 5 weeks inthe process. Our home is in jeopardy of complete failure. Doors windows, plumbing and electrical are sustining more damage by the day. Th reason given for the "rescheduling" was "they had storms the day before the appointment, but the stronger storms were here by far. Houma didnt get nearly what we did, and wasnt close."

FAQs for concrete wall construction projects in Des Allemands, LA
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.
