POHL GEOMY CONCRETE CONTRACTOR

An exceptional concrete company. Friendly, easy to work with, competitive pricing, timely service, thorough. They go above and beyond to do the job right and make the customer satisfied. We highly recommend Pohl Concrete.

They did a great job. I would definitely hire them again and I would highly recommend them.

I was very satisfied. What stood out was personal attention to detail and they are very fair. A's for everything. I have used them before, they replaced my driveway awhile back and followed up on repair work. They are just outstanding. Absolutely would use again.

Great folks to work with from start to finish. They did everything they said they would and then some. We are very satisfied and would defiantly recommend this company.

The concrete work was fine. However, the customer service and attention to detail was a huge fail. First of all, they did not have a portapotty on site. The crew relieved themselves on the exterior walls of my home without any concern whatsoever by the foreman. They favored a hidden corner area. After the work was completed I had to pick up cigarette butts for months throughout my property. That was bad enough. But what was really upsetting and has motivated me to write this review 10 years after the fact is the damage they did to the stucco on my home. All along the west side of my home, one of the crew using a compacting machine to prep the ground for sidewalks etched a deep groove in the stucco on my home about 3 feet off the ground. We are talking 200 feet of this unsightly damage! To me that indicates extremely poor workmanship, low quality employees, and utter lack of supervision. When I presented this to the business/family rep, the response was disheartening to say the least. There was no apology or concern, but instead a disdainful attitude towards me, the customer. Despite his reluctance, I insisted that he make repairs to the stucco. At this point the stress level was through the roof. I had just moved to town, bought a brand new home, invested a large sum of money for improvements, started a new job, and here I was faced with arguing with a nasty Geomy Pohl rep, who's last name was Pohl ( one of the owners sons, about 40 years old), about the need to make right the damage his employees had done. Not a good memory. His response to the situation? He hired some sketchy looking character to come to my home and spray a coat of paint that did not match the stucco over the entire west wall of my home!!!!! The result was horrible. Not only did it not fill in the groove that was 2 inches long extended the entire length of my house, but now the wall had a different color than the rest of the house! To add insult to injury, when he presented the remainder of the bill I asked my brother, a civil engineer, to check it. Sure enough the square footage of concrete that he was charging for was inflated! They went outside together and remeasured the entire job twice. Mr. Pohl conceded his measurements were off and adjusted the bill. At this point my only recourse would have been litigation. I just did not have the energy. I decided to let it go and address the ruined finish of my home at another time. Here it is 10 years later and I am finally able to affor a restucco of my west wall. That is what prompted me to write this review on Angie's List. The whole experience left me feeling victimized. Long story short...do not hire Geomy Pohl for a home concrete job. The do not care about the "small" customer. Leave them to the industrial jobs where their shoddy customer service is of no personal consequence to anyone.

Exceptionally well.

They replaced all but two sections of the driveway. The new concrete looks like it almost has water marks in it. It does not look like it belongs to my home's driveway. I realize that there may not be much that they can do about this.

The Pohl's did excellent work and were great communicators. One of the best contractors I've worked with.

It was a good experience and we would use them again. They were prompt but we never even saw the person. They came out, did the estimate and did the work. We mailed them a check and everything was done over the phone.

The estimator, Kevin, met with me two times at my house to discuss the project. About one hour each time. Offered to come again if I wanted. He wanted to be sure he understood what I expected out of a new patio. Recommend you ask for Kevin. Sent me a clear, written proposal.







One day to prepare the site. One day to pour and finish. The crew arrived early in the morning and worked pretty much non-stop to afternoon quitting time. I was home and available for them to discuss possible problems and get my approval of solutions. They made sure they did it like I wanted it. I relied on their experience, and I recommend you do, too.







This is incredibly hard work. Crew was professional and knowledgeable. High quality product.. Perfectionists. Attention to details. Excellent results.







Example of an important detail: There had been a locust tree in the backyard (gone now) whose invasive roots spread under the previous patio slab and finally cracked and ruined it. One of the men worked his way all across the new patio area with a pick ax, finding and pulling up the old roots. An important long term safe guard that not everyone would do.







My wife and I got a finished product that we really like. I am glad I spent this money. Improves the livability and appearance of our house.







Now, the real test of the quality of concrete finishing is how it looks and wears after a few months and years of use. I will be back in 12 months to update this review.

October 8, 2014: The patio has worn well. No cracks. Patio drains very well. Pohl did a great job.

The ultimate work was good. It was hard to get him to bill me. Their price is really good.

Contractor was prompt in initiating the work. Once started the contractor completed the work in about six hours. Due to the cold weather the contractor property covered their work to ensure against freezing. The end result was precisely what "the doctor ordered." I would enthusiastically recommend them!!

Lonnie Pohl answered the phone we met at my house the next time it was convenient for both of us, he measured, i told him what i wanted, he said okay. Called me the next day with a total, it was very reasonable, we arranged a date. He called me the day before to ask if they could do some prep work I said sure. On Wednesday at 7 am his crew showed up and Lonnie himself drove the backhoe, they had actual surveying equipment and leveled and angled the excavation for correct drainage. On Thursday at 6:30 am his crew of 6 hard workers (some with 15 years of experience with Pohls) showed up to wait for the first of two cement trucks. They worked like mad for the next 5 hours, the work was as high a level of craftsmanship as I have ever seen. Amazing job. By Sunday we were enjoying our new driveway.
