Great experience. Disconnected and removed 1 of 2 exterior lights. The removal of the light required brick to be replaced. LaMere worked hard to match our uncommon brick to ensure that it didn't look like a patch job. Also rebricked a corner of our house that was collapsing due to an insufficient brick ledge. Couldn't be happier with the work that was done. We had four different masonry contractors bid the work and LaMere was the only one that took the effort to find the perfectly matched brick. They were also able to match the mortar to our existing aged mortar.

Great craftmanship and attention to detail. Took into account my designed preference along with the best design for long-lasting quality of the concrete. Two day project with the 1st day spent removing the old sidewalk and prepping the large area for the patio. Took care of surrounding landscaping and kept me informed of the overall process. Second day was pouring the concrete. Came back on the third day to remove caution tape barriers. Patio looks amazing, couldn't have asked for anything better.

They did a really good job and their price was reasonable. They did a lot of extra work. Everything went smoothly and I was very happy of the way they did it. They were professional.

It went OK, ONLY AFTER I SUMMONED SUPERIORS when I observed workers assigned to the job taking short cuts and not following the prescribed repair as quoted me. The section of concrete replaced was to include special details where the pad met surrounding concrete, as to not fail in the same manner the replaced section did, and not cause future problems to adjacent areas. I brought this up with workers on site. They told me it was too late. After contacting LaMere's office a higher up came out and reversed what they had done, completing the work as it was to be done originally. I'd file this company under the category of "hire them if you have the time and expertise to act as foreman yourself, because they can't be trusted otherwise."
Response from Lamere Concrete & Construction
"While LaMere agrees with the owner that the job did not go as smoothly as anticipated, it was NOT due to "taking short cuts." The problem occurred due to a lack of communication between the sales person and the workers on site. LaMere Concrete will never take "shortcuts" and always takes necessary steps to ensure a quality job. I, as a "superior" did rectify the problem on site. Whether or not the owner is on site to supervise the job and was not satisfied with the results (not installed to owners specifications), LaMere Concrete would have removed the walk and replaced it at no cost. Just like any company that performs hundreds of jobs throughout a year, mistakes or miscommunications do happen, but we will always stand by our work and correct the problem."

They did a good job. Concrete is always more expensive than you think it is going to be especially when you are trying to match something because you don't really have a choice.

Great experience working with Lamere. The crew was highly skilled, clean and conscientious. They even went above and beyond by filling in a pre-existing sinkhole in my yard during the excavation process. My concrete looks amazing, I highly recommend Lamere.

Heidi and Bob at La Mere were great. Punctual, responsive and professional. They had the best bid for the job we decided to have done and gave us good estimates for two other jobs. The guys that did the actual installation were subcontractors and while they seem to have done an excellent job, customer service from these guys was poor. Once Bob came out to check on the job, the customer service from him was again excellent. Getting the job scheduled seemed to take a little longer than I would have expected, but overall, I was very happy with the La Mere part of the job.

The experience went really well. Their carpenter is amazing. He reworked old cupboards to fit a new stove and cabinet doors to fit glass, and it is seamless you can't even tell it was done. They were very professional and the people that put in our countertops were very exact.

One of the best contractors that I've worked with in a long time - They were punctual, courteous and professional. They will be the first on my call list for future concrete work.

Representative came out (Tim) in a timely manner. He was very knowledgeable and very professional. He submitted an estimate quickly. Work was started as planned and they finished when they said it would be done. The workers were very courteous and kept the work site safe and clean. I was really impressed with their work. They exceeded my expectations! I have been a homeowner for 33 years and this was the "less stressful" project I ever had to encounter. I highly recommend this company for any concrete or retaining wall work! From start to finish it was a great experience.

I was extremely pleased with LaMere. I got one other bid and their's was considerably lower. Besides the price, I also liked the low key approach of Bob, their estimator. The job took awhile - but since I didn't have a specific deadline, that didn't matter. Instead, I appreciated that they took time to do a careful, top quality job. The crew was easy to work with and willing to accommodate my minor changes once the project started. The work site was left clean each day and they made some effort to avoid damaging my established plantings. They even, on their own, repaired some old woodwork on the edge of the porch next to the new steps without extra charge. I am impressed with the precision of the masonry and concrete work done - it looks great.

THEY KEPT ME WELL INFORMED DUE TO THE POOR WEATHER. THE OWNER WAS HERE EVERYDAY. THE CLEAN UP WAS GREAT. ALL MY NEIGHBORS COMMENT ON HOW GOOD THE JOB TURNED OUT.

THE QUALITY OF THE WORK WAS QUITE GOOD ON THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. HOWEVER, ON THE BACK THEY INSTALLED THE PAD INCORRECTLY, PROBABLY DUE TO POOR COMMUNICATION WITH ME AND THE CARPENTER WHO WAS WORKING ON THE SAME PROJECT (BUILDING A SMALL PORCH ON THE BACK OF THE HOUSE). LUCKILY THE CARPENTER WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE PAD THE PROPER LOCATION SO HE COULD FINISH HIS WORK. IT ALL LOOKS GREAT NOW!
