"Great experience. We had washout area under the concrete surrounding our pool. Tarheel came out to review our project and gave us an estimate for injecting foam to raise our concrete that had fallen and also fill in gaps underneath that had washed out. Once we hired them, we got on their schedule. They sent reminders for our appointment, called the day they were coming to let us know when they would arrive. Tarheel performed the work, left our site clean. We are very happy with the service from beginning to end."
"These guys were great, communicated all the time and made sure we were satisfied. Would definitely recommend for any stamped concrete or concrete needs"
"The initial meeting went fine, the man who came out seemed very knowledgeable. Once they began the work, they finished in a timely manner, although I did notice they hit concrete in one of the locations they were trying to dig. When I came home after they were done (I had left the final check with my daughter to take care of - mistake), I noticed the 'repairs' to the bricks were extremely sloppy: completely different color mortar, etc. There was a lot going on at the moment so I did not contact them right away, and then I procrastinated further since some time had already gone by and this was cosmetic, but when I finally did contact them, I was told their brick person had been fired and they would fix the problem, and he would call back the next day. He did not call, so I sent pictures a few days later and my husband called a month or two later, but they never contacted us. Later I found out that they had not submitted the final inspection report to the county by the deadline so things could be properly closed out, but since I did have a copy, I was able to send that in. By the way, the 'inspection' was based on a review of the 'drive logs.' Now I have had additional cracks/sticking doors inside and I think there may be a new crack outside (I have not compared yet with my pictures taken earlier to verify it is new.) I have not yet contacted them about this problem to see if they will respond. "
"Jess and her team did an exceptional job in raising the concrete deck slab at our house. The prep and comms were outstanding as was the work. They ran into some trouble on the lower deck due to poor installation from the prior contractor years ago and immediately called it out for discussion and resolution. We decided together to cancel that section and they immediately adjust the price of the job very favorably. Highly recommend!"

"They came when they said they would, they worked with my schedule, they were diligent and worked very hard, in some pretty high heat. I was very happy with the work that was done, which was to grind down some concrete decking around our pool, and recoat and stain it. The previous work was not done well, and while I could have gone with the previous company but given the poor job they did, I felt better going with Lawrence. He gets back to you immediately and everything was very professionally done. If I could show some before and after photos, I would."

Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
Yes, expanding foam (also known as polyurethane foam) can lift concrete. This approach, called polyjacking, involves injecting the foam rather than concrete slurry to fill voids and raise the concrete slab back into place. It’s often faster and requires smaller drill holes than traditional mudjacking, though it may come at a higher cost. Some contractors also prefer polyjacking over mudjacking for more damaged and delicate slabs.
The polyurethane used for polyjacking will expand and cure in 15 to 30 minutes. After that point, your slab will be safe to walk on and even drive on in the case of a sidewalk or concrete driveway. Double-check with your concrete lifting specialist to confirm a curing timeline, as products can differ.
Pros often use mudjacking or polyurethane foam injection to level a sunken concrete patio. Both methods lift the slab by filling voids beneath it. After properly compacting the soil beneath it to prevent future settling, the concrete may need to be removed and re-poured for severe sinking.
Mudjacking can be an expensive foundation repair process, but in many cases, it’s well worth the investment. This is especially true if you’re lifting a portion of sunken foundation slab back into place. In that case, mudjacking can help avoid major structural damage and even home collapse by restoring the integrity of your structure with minimally invasive procedures. Mudjacking a concrete patio, walkway, or sidewalk can be worthwhile because it removes tripping hazards and makes your outdoor area more aesthetically appealing.
Concrete leveling is not typically covered by insurance. In some cases where the shifting concrete is caused by a natural disaster or storm, you may be able to file an insurance claim if your policy specifically covers those circumstances. In most cases, though, you’ll pay out-of-pocket for concrete leveling.
