CertaPro painters were punctual. They used good paint in the colors I selected. They did a satisfactory job of cleaning up after themselves. They were polite. Other than that it was a DISASTER! While the stain is done pretty well, the finish on the wet bar is thin and uneven. The cabinet doors on the wet bar were rehung on the wrong cabinets. They weren't off by just a bit - but by inches. For example, the cabinet doors on the sink base actually overlapped each other by a couple of inches. (I have pictures if you would like to see them.) When I questioned the CertaPro agent he suggested that perhaps his people inhaled too many fumes and laughed. We had to pay the cabinet makers to come to rehang them correctly. The finish on the woodwork and doors is also thin and uneven. One big door that slides like a barn door and has leaded glass inserts was particularly bad - they completely missed places around the trim for the glass inserts. They returned to fix it two times without really doing anything. The third time they used a "puffer" can to touch it up. However, the finish in the "puffer" was a gloss finish. The door was done in a satin finish. The fourth time they sent a different person who refinished the entire door properly. All other doors were hung perfectly by the carpenter before CertaPro started. Instead of just removing the doors from the hinges by pulling the pins then masking the hinges before staining and finishing, CertaPro took off all the hinges from doors and door jambs and tossed them in a box without any attempt to keep track of which hinges go where. They put the doors back up but none of them hung correctly. We had to have the carpenter come back and rehang them. CertaPro put primer and paint on the walls - period. They masked where necessary, wiped the wall down a bit, primed, and painted. No other prep work was done. Not that much was needed because it is new construction, but anyone that has painted much knows the the most important part of any paint job is the prep. There's alway a spot that needs a bit of spackle or a quick touch of sand paper. Anyone that knows anything about painting also knows that you have to use high quality brushes and rollers and keep them clean. The walls all had "debris" on them when the painting was done. Either the equipment was dirty or of poor quality. Despite the masking tape, there was paint on the new woodwork in several places. When they pulled up the masking tape that was along the floor at the bottom of the walls, it also pulled up the color from our stained concrete floor, We had to have the floor contractor fix that problem. When I contacted CertaPro about the paint issues I was told, " No one else ever complains.". Was I supposed to feel guilty or bad for complaining? Not a very professional response on their part. We did have CertaPro back on three occasions to try to fix the paint issues. They did sand and repaint a particularly debris-covered wall satisfactorily - while getting more paint on the woodwork. They did spackle a couple of paces and painted over it while wet and without any sanding. Again while getting more paint on the woodwork. CertaPro did offer to keep coming back until things were right, but it seemed that each time things just got worse. After the third time they were here for the paint issues I got sick and tired of it. I told them to go away and forget it before I said something I meant. Long story short - my daughter and I sanded and repainted the entire rec room and all but one wall in the bathroom. The bedroom needs to be redone, but had to wait while I made a wedding dress for my granddaughter. Still deciding on whether to have the cabinetry in the wet bar redone, redo it myself, or live with it as is. Bottom line - Certa Amatuer for sure!!!

Being a new homeowner, I was completely surprised and shocked at the level of apathy many contractors have to their customers. Not so with Lance Phillips. He cares about what he does, takes pride in his work, and makes his customers understand that their satisfaction is his primary concern. Out of several contractors that I had contacted over the past couple years, Lance Phillips was, by far, the most responsive. He always returned our calls/voicemails, usually within 24 hours, and even followed up if we didn't get back to him right away. When on the job, he always was arrived when he said he would, and would inform us when he would be leaving and returning. He was very good at explaining the small details so that we understood the value of service we were purchasing. When the job was finished, he would explain in detail what we had to do as homeowners to maintain the driveway, often offering his services to perform the needed tasks if we didn't want to take on the responsibility ourselves. Excellent communication! When it came to the workmanship, Lance and his team took their time to do an outstanding job. Over the four day period they worked, I could tell that they took great pride in their product. I was amazed at how hard they worked, but still were able to smile and laugh. The end result was a beautiful driveway that should last a lot longer than the original. They cleaned up everything when they left, and even offered to touch up some extra things they had to move to do the job (sod, bricks from garden, etc). My wife and I thanked him for the offer, but agreed we would handle that ourselves. There are other contractors out there who offered to do the same job at a lower price, but after this experience, I highly doubt they could have matched Lance and his team with results. If I ever need concrete work done again, I won't bother to shop around. I'll be calling Phillips Concrete Construction.

Let me preface this by saying that I have done all my own painting, staining, and finishing for many years. However, I felt that staining and finishing so much cabinetry and woodwork might best be done by a professional. All the cabinets and woodwork were custom-made so I wanted the best...

FAQs for concrete finishing projects in Elkhorn, NE
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
The average cost of stamped concrete is around $12 per square foot, but you might pay anywhere from $8 to $28 per square foot. The average 12-foot by 12-foot patio costs $1,730 on average. Your exact pricing will depend on the patio’s square footage, the condition of the area where you want to pour the concrete, the desired stamp pattern, concrete coloring, concrete grade, and local labor prices. Don’t forget to budget for extra costs like land preparation and additional concrete fortifications if necessary.
Depending on the cost to repair your driveway, it may be more cost effective to tear out and replace it with a new concrete driveway. The cost to repave a driveway ranges between $1,400 and $12,100, including removal of the old concrete. Contact a reputable concrete contractor for advice and an estimate. They may have a good reason for going with repairs or replacement after assessing your driveway. You may also have the option to resurface your driveway or pave over it without taking out the existing one.
It’s possible to create stamped concrete yourself, but we don’t recommend it and it’s often not cost-effective. It’s easy to mess up the pattern of a stamped concrete patio or walkway, leaving you with an unsightly home exterior rather than the elegant solution you wanted. Any mistakes made during the ground leveling and concrete pouring process will also increase the risk of cracks forming on your concrete. Additionally, buying enough stamps to get the pattern in before your concrete cures can cost as much as hiring a professional to do the work for you.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
