We are new to Angie's List and now wish we had looked up Able Concrete before asking for a bid.  Able Concrete were actually a recommendation / referral from another Angie's List contractor we really liked.  Unfortunately our experience was really disappointing.  Able Concrete were responsive with a bid ($450) and punctual on arriving to perform the work.  
Two Able Concrete employees came to complete the estimated job (leveling our front stoop which was sagging at one end).  They drilled one hole and tried to perform the mudjacking procedure.  I could see there was a problem because they stopped working and explained that they were consulting their boss for advice.  The problem (sagging stoop) had not been fixed and rather the hairline crack that existed prior was now a quarter inch wide and raised from the original stoop concrete.  I also noticed that a wooden pole and deck rail that sits between the stoop and the porch roof was no longer firmly attached (as it had been prior to the work beginning). The business owner (Dale) came out to look over the work.  I asked him for his opinion on the cause of the problem (hairline crack now a quarter inch wide and raised / no improvement on the sagging stoop); Dale did not know the reason and could only speculate.  He did suggest (to be honest it felt like an accusation) that the new crack must have always been there (could not have been caused by his team's work) and that we (the customer) had misled them and patched the stoop previously.  Dale did not want to be held accountable for the new problem.  We know the stoop has never been worked on during our ownership of the home (since 2009). What we had before they arrived was a sagging end and a hairline crack (nothing noticeable unless you were up close and certainly not raised or something one could trip over). 
Dale offered to drill a second hole in the concrete (to try and rectify the problem).  After I asked him about the risks (and potential further issues) I inquired whether his business insurance would cover any additional damages to my home.  The response I received was that it was not worth it to him (Able Concrete) at a bid price of only $450.  This was very discouraging. Based upon the experience to that point (poor workmanship, communication, uncertainty about why the jacking didn't work and customer service), I decided to cease work with Able Concrete.  I now have a quarter inch crack / an uneven stoop and the sagging problem remains.  We will find an alternate contractor to help us with our problem.
No money exchanged hands and Dale explained that we would not be charged.  We are now left with a problem worse than we started with.  Based upon this experience we cannot recommend Able Concrete to any Angie's List members.  


Response from Able Concrete Raising & Pouring Inc
"The customer called, we were quick to respond to get the bid done and always to actually schedule the work. The crew arrived to do the mudjacking on a already cracked and sunken stoop. After an hour and a half trying to lift and repair the sunken stoop the foreman called Dale (owner) who promptly drove out to the site. Upon meeting the owner who was at that point agitated and argumentative who wanted answers right when I arrived and I let her know that they are always different situations in every job that we don't have they were poured, if they are attached to something if they are siting on footings and that I was trying to come up with a solution to raise the stoop. Customer was still argumentative and questioned if it is unable to raise, and I explained to her that we should not go any further because she was concerned about any damage to house and caulking and asked me that if we went further if my business insurance would cover the damage. After her concern of us stopping the process she was concerned that I was going to just take her money. I told her that I was not going to charge her anything. I then told her I wanted to make her happy and I would try and do the job and if it turned out it would be FREE of charge to her if she took on the responsibility of any damages that may occur. she called her husband and they decided to stop and not take on the responsibility if something happened. I repeatedly told her she was not being charged and she kept asking about my insurance if I were to keep going. At that point I was already not charging her for the job I was not going to take on the responsibility of going forward with my business insurance on the line while she had the option of me continuing the job at no cost if she wanted to assume the responsibility, even though our contract states we are not responsible for cracks that develop when raising. a couple days later she called a competitor for a raising bid for her stoop and they told her they would try but "they would not be responsible for any damages that may occur" and she agreed to move forward with second attempt in raising her stoop, and they where also unsuccessful and left without charging her. I don't know were we went wrong or what else we could have done for this customer. I'm sorry both company's couldn't raise your sunken stoop, but don't feel you should taken it out on us. We are a repair company trying to help you and fix the problem to save you big money in replacement."

Horrible!  This is a nightmare! The half raised slab became a trip hazard and caused water damage in my basement by breaking the seal between the foundation and patio door.  At the time, I had a 4 week old baby to care for all on my own and was moving out of the country in 3 days.  They wouldn't fix the slab properly and told me to fix it myself.  I am renting out my townhouse and my tenants are threatening to move out because of the water damage in the basement.  I risk going into foreclosure if they move out.  Dale from Able Concrete was very unsympathetic to the situation and actually told me that I needed to pay an additional $100 to fix the problem!  This is a very unethical company.  Please find another service provider for your concrete needs. I don't want to see anyone have the same problem I am having.
Response from Able Concrete Raising & Pouring Inc
"You contracted with Able Concrete Raising to have our company look at your back patio. You received the estimate on 6/3/2014 as follows "Raise the slab at the back patio door as high as possible under the door" and called us 6/30/14 and pretty much demand that we get the job done right away because you were moving out of the country.(Note: When an estimator writes "high as possible" that means as high as allowable- pending any obstructions beyond our control. i.e. the threshold of your door) We did the job on 7/2/14. At the time that our foreman was at your property, he had called and talked to you to explain that the slab was raised as high as possible, per our contracted agreement. There was still a back pitch toward the patio door and the only way to alleviate this is to saw cut back from the patio door which would create a gap but allowing the patio to raise up higher since the threshold of your door was preventing us from raising the slab any higher. The foreman explained to you that if he were to cut that area (which is typically an additional charge that we would charge-but we didn't) that you would be responsible for patching in that gap created with concrete to prevent water from getting in that open area. You said do whatever you need to do to get that slab up as you were having water issues in the basement already and that you just had to make your tenants happy and you were moving out of the country, that you would take care of the patching. On 8/27/14 (over a month later) you contacted us that you were still getting water in the basement and you confirmed with our office that YOU did not patch that area, as you agreed, because you were leaving the country and now it was Able Concrete Raising's problem. In a phone call you had asked us to help you out with your problem because you were out of the country and did not have money to fix this problem, that had been an existing problem over time, which had to do with the slab being at the bottom of your hill along side your house allowing all rain water to filter towards that area. After your threatening emails that you would ruin our company through social media, and because you were living out of the country and were taking care of your new born child on your own after many conversations with Dale, as a courtesy we said we would come out and tear out your patio slab for free, which we did the next day! Able Concrete Raising, we feel, went above and beyond to find a resolution for our customer in a very timely matter. In conclusion, Able Concrete Raising feels that we were taken advantage of due to your hurry of moving out of the country and now being to blame for an existing water damage issue that you have been dealing with over time. We are also still feeling the backlash of your social media reviews after your agreed to this resolution. You placed blame on our company for a water issue that has been accumulating over years."

They damaged part of my garage door opener (the sensors), which was verified by a garage door specialist when I had someone come out and take a look. The damage came while they were doing the concrete work for me. When I informed able of the problem they refused to take responsibility for it. I even told them to be careful because I identified this as a possible problem.

They did a quick and professional job.  We also needed to have the cracks in the garage floor sealed, and they offered to do it, of course, but also recommended a product that I could use from the local hardware store, and did, to do it myself for $30 to seal the cracks

Crew arrived on time and performed work. We used a level to verify slope and flush between slabs. However during the next few days one of the slabs (middle of a string of 5 slabs) settled lower than the rest. ABLE agreed to return and raise the settled slab. However to date, 9/11, and after numerous unreturned calls, they have not corrected the problem.

On 9/13 Able Concrete returned and raised the settled slab. The crew was friendly and professional. In the end my main concern is the lack of communication/responsiveness as to when the settled slab would be corrected. I obtained a commitment to correct on 8/17 but during the next three weeks did not get updates or returned calls for scheduling until 2 days before they came out.

It was perfect. They came within a couple of days. They were $100 cheaper than everyone else I talked to. They did an excellent job. After I had researched and called them, they came within a couple of days later. They gave me an estimate and then they came within a couple of days to do the sidewalk. The service was better than I expected. I never knew that they were here just because they were in and out and there were no mess left behind.

It was a good experience.  They came when they said they were going to and did what they were suppose to do and turned out well.  For the quality I am sure they will be pleased with that and it was very well done.

They did the work as estimated and went above and beyond as I decided to have a larger apron poured than initially thought I wanted.  They adjusted the estimate which I thought was very fair and was able to pour the 2nd apron without any problems.

Able Concrete has been a pleasure to work with! They responded quickly to our request for a bid on the project which consisted of the replacement of driveway aprons in front of two garages. A written bid of their services was provided, which was much appreciated. They were very good at returning calls and e-mails regarding the scheduling of the project. Once the work date was scheduled, they were very punctual, completed the job and left the job site in the same condition as they found the homes yards and driveways. No messes left to clean up! They even went the ‘extra mile’ to take care of an unexpected problem. We would recommend Able to anyone looking for their services

Contracted to mudjack a sidewalk area, replace driveway sections, and caulk around house. We signed paperwork in June and work was not completed until mid-September. The mudjacking (completed Sept. 9) and caulking (completed 9/16) were ok (though done much later than promised), but the driveway sections (completed the end of Sept.) are cracked and bright white color so do not blend at all w/ the rest of the driveway. Phone calls were never returned in a timely manner. While they agreed that the color was bad, I was told they never know what the color will be. We should have been told that. The cracks apparently aren't large enough to warrant re-doing. It was not a good experience and we are not pleased with the results. The driveway is an eyesore as you look at our house and for the neighborhood.

He came within 24 hours of my call and was very nice. He bid $1400 which sounded better than new concrete to me(We needed to mudjack the front steps, sidewalk, 3 car garage and garage apron). I was surprised when I got my next 2 bids at $910 and $835(And the $910 company ranks well on Angie's).

The communication wasn't that great, I wasn't sure when they were coming, but I guess it didn't matter since it was work done outside my home. The mud-jacking was great, looks good, exactly what I wanted. But I also wanted the crack between the house and the sidewalk sealed, and even though they came back to seal the cracks between the little sidewalk pieces (for an extra $150), they never sealed the large crack. When I called to ask why/what happened, I was told that they don't seal cracks greater than 2 inches wide. This would have been nice to know initially, since I then had to spend another $500 on a handyman to seal this crack for me.
Response from Able Concrete Raising & Pouring Inc
"SORRY WE COULD NOT SEAL THE CRACK IN YOUR WALK. IF YOU HAD SOMEONE SEAL IT WITH A URETHANE CAULKING IT DOES STATE ON THE TUBE THAT IT WILL NOT HOLD UP TO CRACKS LARGER THAN 2 INCHES."

They did a good job on our walk (required several drilled areas). Our original contact with them was not favorable due to communication issues with their office staff. As a result, they did not come as originally promised. To make the situation "right" with us, they gave us a discount on the job (would have been $300) -- ultimately, we were satisfied with the work.

Excellent! They were on time, pleasant, and did an excellent job. They were careful not to damage my garden, they cleaned up the area thoroughly, and I'd hire them again in a second!

I was in the process of selling my home - during the truth-in-housing inspection, it was brought to my attention that my front step was too high. The sidewalk in front of the step had sunk over time. I found this company on Angie's List and had them come out and raise the step for me. I contacted them over their email address. They were not as responsive from that method as I would have hoped they would be. It took about two weeks for them to come out to look at the sidewalk and then another two weeks to complete the work. They did a good job and the work was completed quickly once they got here. However, the workers were gruff and not as courteous as the person who originally quoted the order to me. As soon as they completed the job, it started to rain. They were just about to pull away when one of the workers came back to and told me to put Styrofoam cups over the new concrete patches if it rained any harder. It was my judgment call at that point - that should have been their job.

SCHEDULING WAS A HASSLE, SINCE I WAS NEVER ACTUALLY GIVEN A DATE UNTIL I CALLED AND ASKED. I HAD TO CALL THE DAY THEY WERE TO COME TO GET A TIME, SO I WASN'T TRAPPED AT HOME ALL DAY AND NEVER GOT A RETURN CALL. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CREW SHOWED UP, THEY WERE COURTEOUS, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND DID A VERY NICE JOB.
