"all work was completed as planned. This crew had the added challenge of hauling all the concrete and limestone mixture up my steep driveway to fill the pumping machine. Having done this type of work before, I know how much additional effort this required. When work was done the crew thoroughly cleaned the work area and driveway. Crew asked for my input on the job before they started cleaning. I was very happy with the professionalism and work ethic of this crew. They would recommend Metro Concrete to anyone who needs concrete raising."
"These guys were great! They were friendly and very knowledgeable about what they were doing. They looked at my steps and didn't exaggerate the problem. I was told what needed to be done and that they were going to drill a few holes to inject the limestone grout, and then did exactly what they said they were going to do. I did call around to get quotes from other companies and was quoted $3000 as a starting point. I paid a fraction of that cost and got my money's worth. If you are ever in need of concrete repair, call these guys! I'm glad I did."
"I can’t say enough about Anderson Concrete Lifting. Joe responded to my phone call immediately and was on his way. We all thought our major construction project would have to come to a halt when we realized that our Garage foundation would need immediate mudjacking. Calling Joe Anderson and his crew was the right move and within 24 hours the job was done…. and done exceptionally well. Not only was our construction project able to move forward without setback, we are now confident that our garage foundation Is trustworthy. These intentional and hard working men are the right phone call when you aren’t sure what company will handle the job well and won’t over charge you. We are so thankful for them!"
"They did great. The entire surface was level and free from tripping hazards. It is important to have them seal the cracks because there will be water from snow melt and the concrete will move. This will get you the 5 yr warrantee just in case."

"Paul and crew came out and assessed the situation and was able to resolve the problem without a problem. The corner of my shop was down about 1.5”. Within no time, my concrete floor was back to it once was.
Thank you Paul!!"
My new garage/shed was finished approximately one year after I signed the contract with Heinen. He did a good job of designing the garage (in his head; no drawings) in a way that was economical and works. Greg Heinen is very personable and generally easy to talk to. We talked over options and worked through questions and decided on a final design. My dissatisfaction mostly arises from the length of time it took to finish the work and the difficulty I had in knowing what was going on with the construction schedule.
Problems started (at least in part) due to heavy rains in June of 2014, which seemed to get everything delayed for months. I also now (in hindsight) think that because Greg is a relatively small general contractor who works with a number of subcontractors, the delays were due to the availability of many of his subs. The original start date was to be June of 2014, then pushed back to late July, and then he couldn't give me a date and stopped communicating with me. A crew finally came to demolish the existing garage in late September. The general pattern was that Greg would tell me when crews would be out, more often than not the crew would not show up on that day, and I would get a series of promised start dates that also did not happen. Construction continued sporadically in this manner through October and November, and in December I had a garage that was usable (although without electricity except via extension cord). This spring they finished up with a new driveway (the first was incorrectly put in) and the electrical hook-up. Some of what I wanted for the garage/shed did not occur and I had to decide whether it was more important to get the garage done or to get it done in accordance with the contract. Because it was so late in the year, I generally decided on getting things done. The item that I am most unhappy with is the eave depth. They were supposed to be 18" but wound up being only 12". Since the roof trusses. were brought onsite pre-constructed, I didn't realize the depth was off until they and the walls were up so I could measure. By that time it was late October or November and I needed a garage for the winter.
In general, my experience with the subs is that a few of them showed up when they were supposed to and worked full days, but more of them seemed to show up about 10 a.m. and leave about 3 p.m. One crew of two showed up at 10 and I saw one of the guys standing around for two hours. He said they had thought nails would be there, but the right kind of nails weren't there, so the other guy had to get them. So, it took this guy 2 hours to get the nails (!) and then they left at 3. On the other hand, the crews that did the framing and put in the second driveway did an excellent job, and the garage and shed function well. I wonder if part of the problem is that Greg trusts his subs and some of them take advantage of that. Greg seldom came out to see how things were going and seemed to just ask the subs what was going on and simply take their word for it.
In summary, I got the garage and shed we discussed (with the exception of a few items which Greg readily removed from the final cost) and am happy with how it works. The process of getting the garage, however, is not one I'd like to go through again.

Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
Mudjacking is suitable for sidewalks, driveways, patios, and nearly all exterior flat structures. However, it may not suit severely damaged or heavily cracked areas.
A sinking foundation can be lifted, most often by installing piers to re-level and support the weight of the house. Depending on the cause and extent of the sinking, other methods to lift a foundation include underpinning and mudjacking. Consult a foundation repair pro to determine the best way to lift your sinking foundation.
Generally speaking, push piers—or steel piers—are the best option for underpinning, as they reach down to solid bedrock to find support for your foundation rather than relying on soil, which could be subject to the same issues as the soil directly below your foundation. However, the best underpinning method for your home depends on your location, how far down the bedrock is, and the type of soil in your area. Helical piers are usually the best option for sandy soil or in areas where the bedrock is too deep to use steel piers.
Most states and municipalities don’t require concrete mudjacking companies to carry a specific license, but they usually need to have a general contractor’s license, and they should be fully insured. The only exception is if the mudjacking company provides foundation repairs as well, or if it offers mudjacking for home foundations. In that case, they will typically need a foundation repair contractor’s license. You can check state requirements and then use Angi’s license lookup tool to confirm that a company is properly licensed to provide mudjacking services in your area.
The method involves lifting settled concrete using pressurized cement slurry via drilled holes. This solves uneven surfaces and prevents further settling.
