Concrete Solutions LLC

I was given a timeframe of 6 weeks out from when I signed the proposal due to them being busy. The work was started exactly 6 wks later as stated. Work was started on Thursday afternoon & completed the next day on Friday afternoon. Per My request, my driveway was extended by length & width for a good price, and they did a GREAT job!! The 4 rating is only due to the time I had to wait. I would definitely recommend and I would use them again.

The work done in a short time with outstanding quality.. Th workers were well trained and have excellent customer service skill. The estimate was very reasonable. I have recommend this company to my friends and neighbors.

The job went very smoothly. The team of workers were very professional and well guided by the onsite manager, Miguel. Per our request at this time, only 1/2 of driveway was repaired and will call them to complete at a later date. We are VERY pleased with the results!!

It went Well . Only problem was damage to grass lawn adjacent to driveway.

Well. I suggest dealing only with the owner, Mark. His person who gives estimates is not a reliable communicator although he appears to have good intentions. The actual workers are remarkably hard working and effective. We are pleased with the outcome.

I tried contacting Concrete Solutions through Angie's List, via phone (including leaving messages), and text. They never responded. Very disappointing.

Company never replied to my inquiry for an estimate - neither through Angie's List or after I called and left a message directly - disappointing. I was ready to do the job and even had a second job I was considering that I was going to get an additional estimate on.

The work done by Concrete Solutions is top shelf! The estimator, Wayne, was very good in providing a solution that we needed for the driveway while at the same time addressing an erosion issue adjacent to our 34 year old driveway. The work crew was professional and the quality of the finished product is exceptional. Knowing how long you have to live with concrete work, I am really pleased I had Concrete Solutions to help.

We had a large parking pad installed in the rear of our home, as well as the existing 1950's sidewalk removed and replaced. Everything was great, from the initial quote to the care taken after the job was done. Our work was done quickly, efficiently, and with as little disruption to us as possible. About a month after the work was done, we noticed a crack in the corner of our parking pad, probably because of how the trash truck comes around our corner of the alley. We called to see if anything could be done to repair this, and Concrete Solutions saved the day by saying the would stop by next time they were in our area to cut out the damage and re-pour that corner for free. Talk about customer service! We have lots of neighbors ask who did the work, and we are more than happy to tell them!

Concrete Solutions was great to work with. Wayne, their estimator, went out of his way to really understand what we wanted and provided a quote that was less than half of the other contractors we got quotes from. Mark, the owner, and his crew were true craftsmen. They took great care in the prep, the work itself, the cleanup, and the follow up satisfaction. We had a 70'x10' gravel driveway to replace with concrete. We also had a couple of pads in our patio that needed to be replaced. We wanted exposed aggregate (Delaware River stone) to match the other pads. The other companies wouldn't even bid on that. We also had a blocked stormwater drain under the driveway that needed to be replaced. They came out sooner than we had hoped, repaired the drain pipe and removed and prepped everything for concrete on day one, poured the concrete on day two, and sealed the aggregate on day three. Beautiful work. Everyone in the crew was pleasant and knew their craft.

I hired Concrete Solutions to repair a section of my concrete driveway. I was very pleased with the job. The "demolition and prep" crew got started at around 6:30AM, removing the old concrete and preparing the site for the pour. They compacted the ground, used wire mesh, and inserted rebar into the surrounding existing sections of the driveway for stability. A different crew (2 guys) handled the pour and finishing. The entire job was done by about 3:00. The crew cleaned up nicely and did not damage the surrounding driveway or lawn. The crew members were professional, easy to communicate with, and answered all of my questions. I worked with Mark to set up and schedule the job. The whole process was pretty informal. Mark initially came out to view the job and provided me with a verbal estimate that stayed consistent throughout. Mark's estimate was about 20% less than the other two I got, and he was the only contractor that physically came out to the site in person. I dealt with Mark exclusively over the phone or in person. He always answered the phone when I called. We settled on a date about 10 days in advance, and that was the date the job was done. No delays or excuses. Overall, I was completely satisfied with work performed by Concrete Solutions, and would not hesitate to use them again.

Concrete solutions did an excellent job! They removed the concrete in one day and unfortunately...due to a downpour...had to wait to the following day to finish laying the mold, wire, etc...before laying the concrete on the 3rd day. So-were it not for things that were beyond their control, it would have been completed in 2 days. We could not be happier with the job they did. Mark (owner) is very responsive and will look to make you happy. They are busy, so if it takes a day or so to hear back...its worth the wait.

The driveway and the path look great. They arrived to be working at 7:00 a.m. and worked full days to points where the work could be halted. They cleaned up well. They did everything they said and explained what they were doing any time we went out to look. I recommend them to anybody that needs or might need concrete work done.

The owner hurt himself the night before our job was to begin and he spent most of the prior night in the ER and still showed up with his crew the next morning to start the work. The job was completed as specified and in a very professional manner. Our job was scheduled with another job in the neighborhood, which reduced our cost. I highly recommend Concrete Solutions!

The crew arrived as scheduled and completed on time . The driveway was regraded to improve drainage and the concrete looks great.

The laborer showed up in flip flops to begin sawing the concrete patio away from my new porch. My porch took a hit by the front loader. One pane of my sliding glass door took a hit from flying debris. Here is the letter I wrote this letter to the owner with corrected amounts replaced and other commentary in the brackets to explain further clarify what the letter meant. Hi Beth, i am sorry that you are feel that we are taking advantage of your company. Honestly, that is not my intent. I am trying to go through with a Watershed Steward Academy tax privileged given in AA county. I had shared this with Mark. I had to jump through certain hoops to accomplish this. One of those hoops was to pull a permit. This tax program will over the next 5 years, hopefully, will reimburse me a portion of the work that I have paid to have done. The difference from [broken slider reimbursement fee of ] $880 and [my outstanding agreed upon extra supplies cost of] $440 is $440. Lord willing, this program is suppose to reimburse me and additional $220 if I were to have the corrected receipt. If I would have been trying to take "advantage" of Concrete Solutions then I would have requested that I be reimbursed for the day of work that I had lost in my Child Care business. I had to close my business due to the hazards in the yard. Grant it, currently by choice, I only make $90 a day for my business. But I am not trying to take advantage of anyone. I am only trying to be fair! The accident of the broken slider is just that...an accident. Chuck even apologized and said that he should have installed the plastic in front of the window. Proper safety measures were not taken of my home or for him! I even have pictures of him wearing flip flops for shoes while operating a saw to cut the concrete around my porch. I felt very insecure with that!! I couldn't believe my eyes! What if he was injured on my property?? Being a business woman myself, I know it wouldn't be wise for me to tell Concrete Solutions how to operate a business. However, OSHA I am sure has measures in place to ensure employees safety. Your assumptions are incorrect. I had a structural engineer inspect my home. I have the original home inspection report record from over 13 years ago. The portion of the home in reference, was not able to be inspected due to the large handicap concrete ramp being in the way. We also are not crying to you about the additional $4k+ job we have now had to add our unexpected costs... I am very thankful for Mark's expertise, Chuck's labor, and your administrative work! I have tried to respond to this in a very kind, professional manner. I am hopeful that if I were to ever need a concrete job done again that Concrete Solution would be willing to come back again, despite the hurdles we all have had through this very difficult job. Look, what I am asking for is well with in reason to have. Ultimately the $440 is an additional amount of money have I have "paid" for the additional top soil [despite the horrible quality...it was more like fill dirt with all the debris still in it] and the grass seed. You have a few options. Send me an additional check for the $440 to cover the remainder of the cost of the broken slider glass window that Chuck broke OR give me the receipt for having paid it. I guess another option could be to reimburse me for what the county would have reimbursed me ($220). I just want the correct amount reflected on the receipt! It doesn't cost you another dime. If you choose to not take one of the above options then I will be forced to take further actions I don't want to do. I completely agree with you about the actions Concrete Solutions made that night it broke to have a replacement put in. However, since the concrete removal has exposed rotten and old termite damage, I now had to hire a new company to repair the structural issues found. That company said that it would cost more time for them to keep the old glass slider then to replace it. If the old door was kept it would not have operated properly due to them metal framing. It would have most likely become bent, ultimately needing replaced again. If I were to taking "advantage" of Concrete Solutions I could be requiring the full quoted $2200. cost of the door to be replaced completely. However, I am not holding the full condition of my home to your responsibility. I am holding Concrete Solutions to the original estimated cost of replacing the one pane of the sliding glass door. The original $880. I didn't know a check for the $440 was on its way. Thank you for telling us that. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I would appreciate having this receipt by 2:00pm today so I can get to Annapolis with it today. Thank you for respecting my time as well! Kindly and Professionally, Her response was: "I feel that we should ghave no more contact. We are finished with our business." I am beyond words at this point. What a shame! Mark did amazing quality work! I hired based on my confidence in him. However, other aspects impact my review. The laborer and administration sections of the company also had it problems. There are some additional aspects to this job's problems. First, I will admit my home has unique issues. Regardless, if site prep and safety were taken then perhaps we wouldn't have had some of the difficulties either. I am absolutely appalled at Beth's response. We tried to be fair. Pictures can be located at: [*** Link removed ***] (flip flops) [*** Link removed ***] (before) [*** Link removed ***] (after) Looking back at these pics reminds me of how good the main work was. However, an owner shouldn't have ever said that to a customer. It saddens me.

It was great service, it looks beautiful, the product came out well. They re-seeded and planted the yard.

The crew was on time every morning and kept both areas neat at the end of the day. They had no issue with the dogs. They did a great job integrating the patio with some existing landscaping features including a stone wall, basement entry way and created a very nice step down into the yard to accommodate a steeply sloped section. The area under the front porch ended up being hollow and they filled, tamped and created a new patio that blended nicely with our existing blue flagstone walkway. Overall they created two lovely spaces that we can't wait to enjoy this year.

I was quite happy with how everything turned out. They were able to design it around existing flowerbeds and a wall that I wanted to keep, and still make everything look great. The job was completed relatively quickly and the workers were pleasant, tidy, and professional. Everything was cleaned up and left in good condition. The entire project was completed in 2 1/2 days.

They did everything in two days, it was very fast. They were less expensive than the competitors.

The owner (Mark) listened thoroughly to our ideas and provided valuable recommendations to our plans. The crew arrived, started, and ended on time; was well-organized; and had all required equipment/supplies. Mark did exactlly what he said he would do for the price he quoted. My family was very pleased with the professionalism and level of service we received. Their attention to detail and cooperation from the very start created an enjoyable project. We would recommend the company to anyone; we would definitely use them for other projects.

I wish Mark, the owner of Concrete Solutions, and his team did more than just concrete, because I would like to hire them to do everything. They are simply the best contractors that I have ever hired to do anything on my home our business... bar none. It is not often that you get someone that does good work, for a good price, and stays on schedule. But with Concrete Solutions I had all three. I received several estimates from other companies before I contracted with Concrete Solutions to do the work. I had bids from others that were more than twice as much, additional the other contractors had bad attitudes about doing the work. They said things like, "Basement jobs are a pain, we don't like to work in Baltimore City..." But Mark and his team are get it done type of guys. He worked with my schedule and I worked with his, and it was a relationship of mutual respect. Yes, I will be hiring Concrete Solutions again in the future.

We just talked in general terms, there wasn't any price or quote given. They were very responsive. It's too early to tell if we'll use them for the project or if we'll do the project.

We have an old detached garage on the edge of our property that had fallen into disrepair prior to our purchasing the house. The garage floor was practically rubble, and I had to mow my "driveway" every week. We wanted to fix up the garage to park our cars in there, but we knew we needed to get the old concrete removed, a new floor poured, and a driveway poured. After calling several concrete places last year, we finally got quoted for the project at a very high price. Due to the cost, we decided to shelve the project until this year and get asphalt for the driveway to save a few bucks. When we picked the project back up this year, we were re-quoted for just the garage concrete, and the price was still too much. After calling several more concrete places without so much as a call back, we finally contacted Concrete Solutions LLC. They came out quickly and quoted us approximately HALF for the garage and driveway of what they other place quoted us for just the garage. I'll be honest, I was skeptical of getting such a big break after the headache we had endured thus far, but we decided to move forward anyway. I could not have been more pleased with their professionalism, responsiveness, and job quality. When I came home after the pour, I saw the smooth garage floor and perfect angles of the driveway and was blown away. The price was exactly what they had quoted, and they came out exactly when they said they would. I just got a chance to park my car on the driveway yesterday, and it feels so good! If there's anyone out there looking for someone to get your concrete job done, please consider Concrete Solutions LLC!

Very nice and professional. He came and met us at the house for an estimate on a Saturday. He was very nice and talked with us for a while about the work and how it would all happen if he got the job. He emailed me the estimate a few days later. The estimate wasn't as specific as other estimates I got but it wasn't bad. We really liked his approach but we went with somebody else because the cost was a bit higher than other estimates.
