The owners were flexible about expanding the job when I asked for additional features like extra lights and switches, electric plugs, and painted walls. The new finished room took up about a third of my basement. My job was bigger than some others because I needed all the old floor tile removed and new vinyl tiles installed in the whole basement, not just the new finished room. And I asked them to paint all of the concrete walls in the whole basement. They did it all in two weeks. Amazing. They really do deliver impressive basements. All of my family and friends just love the way my new basement looks now. I am glad I found this company and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to finish or refinish their basement.

They couldn't move them back the day they finished up because they needed to be over where they put fresh cement.

Concrete Wall Construction reviews from real Angi homeowners in Salem, MI
The team arrived each morning as communicated and worked hard throughout the day. We received rain during the process resulting in a soft yard. The team fixed the lawn including seeding areas not apart of the service area. The customer service was outstanding going above high level...
I have decided to go with a concrete patio instead of a deck, but if I had decided on a deck he would be a top choice.

Professional throughout the process and even after, gave me advice on what to do and not do to treat snow and ice without damaging concrete. Given that, it was still relatively new. NOTE: I have some experience with concrete and I kept a close watch on how everything was done. Very satisfied!

"Critical: Professionalism, Value I called Omega to check out smoke transfer between flues. Al quoted flue top dampers at $900 each and cleanings at $300 each. He said he would need to schedule a day to do the work. Thinking this must be an extensive project, I bought it. Ten days later I finally was called to say they would come that afternoon to do it. After the cleaning they glued dampers to the tops of the flues and were done in about 45 minutes. Al defended his $750/hour labor rate and double cleaning rate, saying it was due to his "high overhead" costs that I didn't understand. I still don't understand. Omega Construction is aptly named, they are the last one you should think of calling. They apparently only maintain their good BBB rating because the BBB doesn't consider "pricing issues" or "buyer's remorse" in their calculations. BBB is basically another way to advertise."

Concrete Walls questions, answered by experts
Do some research before hiring a concrete contractor . Consider asking whether the contractor is insured, if they can provide references of past clients you can contact, and if this type of work requires a permit. Another potential question is how long they guarantee their work.
The ideal base for concrete is even, firm, and permeable to encourage drainage. Depending on your project's weight requirements, a combination of gravel, sand, or other aggregates is best. While you can technically pour concrete over grass, dirt, or an old piece of concrete, you risk threatening the concrete's stability.
While fumigation chemicals cannot pass through solid objects, they will seep into any openings in walls, doors, or other closed spaces. This allows them to get into tight places where pests may be hiding and causing damage, like termites ruining the foundation of your home. It also means that your home needs to ventilate for 48 hours before returning to ensure that no harmful chemicals remain in your space.
With proper installation and sealing, both poured concrete and cinder block walls can be durable options for your yard or home. Poured concrete walls do offer more durability and strength, but cinder block walls are less expensive to build and DIY. A concrete wall costs an average of $6,500.
Yes, thicker concrete is less likely to crack. The thicker the concrete is, the less susceptible it is to extreme changes in weather conditions that often cause concrete to crack or chip. If you’re unable to install a thicker concrete driveway for any reason, you can also ask your professional to install more rebar or wire mesh to provide greater strength and better resilience to damage.
