Big B Concrete

They did an awesome job. It looks great. We are very happy that work there and all that they have done.

The new driveway is beautiful. The crew came when hey said they would and worked diligently until the job was finished. There were a couple of changes required due to slope of walk to meet driveway and slight underestimate of square footage due to grass over growing the edges, but they still completed he work in a timely manner. The quality of work was everything we hoped for. The cost of the job was significantly lower than others quoted for the same thing.

Called to get estimate, said they would come out and do estimate next day. After multiple calls and leaving 3 messages no answer or response. Never got estimate or return call.

I had a hard time finding a company to fix my driveway in a suitable manner who did work similar to my old driveway. They did a great job especially since I had an odd situation where I was the one hiring them but another company who had broken the old driveway was the one paying them.

Brian responded to a voicemail within the same day. He showed up within a week to provide an estimate and then got us on the schedule within the month. His team is very meticulous and looks professional as expected. My wife and I are very pleased and would hire Brian back for out next job without doubt. Brian's professionalism is something we found hard to beat. Most contractors are not as responsive and diligent to complete the job as if it was his own home. Nice job Brian!

Came out promptly for an estimate. Described how the old would be removed and disposed of, how the new surface would be laid following the framing. Described how the expanded area would be installed. The had a cancellation so they were able to do ours earlier than had been scheduled. They arrived promptly on schedule, worked very well as a team, Removed the asphalt, leveled, framed, poured the concrete and handled the cutting of expansion joints as agreed. Cleanup was done each day very well. Answered our questions quickly and in a language that could be understood.( i.e. no jargon of the trade). Would use them again with no hesitation and recommend them highly.

My wife and I have needed a new driveway for years. Every spring we found ourselves with piles of concrete chips from the harsh winter. I was adament that if we replaced it, we should expand into a 3rd car pull-off since our 15 year old will be driving before we know it. I've had about 5 other concrete guys provide quotes over the years, but I had to get AEP's approval before doing the expansion work due to an easement from the electical lines. I found Big B here on Angie's list and was immediately impressed. Brian was awesome to deal with, very prompt and competitively priced. I took care of the permits with the City of Dublin (my choice since I had been working with them on the AEP situation for months) and Brian got me on the schedule within a few weeks. Brian's crew was top notch!!! It includes his son, brother in law and a guy who is a master with a Bobcat. They removed the old driveway and set up the forms on Thursday, poured the new driveway (with inspections from Dublin) on Friday, came Saturday to cut the grid and remove the forms. The final work is beautiful and we couldn't be more pleased. Can't wait to drive on it this coming Friday. I've had a dozen neighbors and passerbys ask who did the nice work and I've happily passed along Brian's contact info. I even have an extra stack of cards for any more folks who ask. Highly recommend Big B and thank you Angie's List for helping me find him.

There were a lot of tricky things about my driveway. A fence and flower bed were on either side of the driveway, one garage door provided a real challenge, and I wanted a specific slope to get the drainage I needed. Brian and his crew understood what I wanted (it wasn't all standard). The were a very professional group. I am most happy with the end result and the care they took to do things as I wanted them and to make sure the driveway would last. Neighbors all seem impressed with the appearance.

Brian was extremely professional, responsive and took the time to answer questions and assuage any concerns.

They were in contact with me from the estimate all the way through and after the job was done. They were always there to answer my questions. There were never any issues and I would recommend them to everyone All of my neighbors love the work they did.

I was trying to sell a rental house I owned in Pataskala. It was an older home, and the basement was in need of repair, as was the foundation. Brian got back to me right away, went to the location, and came up with a better and more price efficient solution that had been previously offered. The work was completed in a timely manner, and looked great. It really helped me get the house sold, and I'd use Big B in the future without hesitation.

Big B was one of 5 companies I had quote this job. I chose them because of reputation, reasonable quote, knowledge and personability of the owner. They did not require any upfront costs and I paid them the full amount upon the completion of the work. My work was scheduled in a very reasonable amount of time. The team showed up promptly each day and always kept me apprised of the status of how the job was going. Big B took care of getting the necessary permits to complete the approach. The driveway was completed very quickly with no surprises. However, the approach was a different story. Upon tearing out the concrete of the approach (which should be about 4-6 thick), it was discovered that whomever poured it initially ten years ago did not do it correctly and it was up to 13" thick in some spots! Unfortunately, this led to some of their equipment being damaged which delayed the job slightly. However, Big B recovered quickly by renting additional equipment to get the job done. Overall, the entire job was still completed within the originally stated timeframe, for which I was very greatful. The issue with the approach was one that was completely strange and was unable to be identified in the original quoting. Big B was very fair with the additional cost above and beyond the original quoted amount due to the need for additional gravel and haul away cost of the super thick concrete. The additional cost was still in my budget and the total was still lower that several of the other quotes I received initially. The quality of the work was excellent and my driveway looks great! They will be returning within the next month to complete the final application of sealer to the surface.

I met with Brian (owner) to review the project and to get a quote. Brian quickly built my confidence they had the skill and equipment for the job. Brian had some good ideas for the actual project and how to handle not making a big mess out of my side yard in the process. After having a backhoe, endloader, pick-up truck, big dump truck and a concrete truck all in the same location in my side yard, they left the yard very much as before they started! I was amazed!! Fantastic job! The project itself meet all of my expectations and Brian and his crew were very good to work with. They left the area as clean as they found it with very little impact to surrounding area. Big B concrete has my highest recommendation!

.Overall, the experience was good. However, the one area in which I rated them an F was their responsiveness. Initially they responded and performed the work. During the process, I had a conversation with Brian about the possibility of the concrete cracking in this one area. He said it would be fine. After 3 weeks of curing, we drove on the driveway and sure enough, it cracked in the area of question. I had called Brian and asked him to take a look at it and he said he could come by and put some caulk in it. We have yet to hear from him. My frustrations are with the follow through. Great for initial response to get the job, great at performing the work in a timely fashion, poor when it comes to resolving an issue that I questioned in the beginning.

Brian got us on the schedule fast. The crew were punctual, fast, clean....everything we had hoped for. They tore out the old blacktop and loaded it up right away. We had no issues with equipment being in the way of our neighbors. They took good care of the adjacent lawn and were cautious around sprinkler heads. We have had numerous comments on how nice the driveway looks. The edges are smoothed and the overall aesthetic is great!

The existing driveway was a crumbling asphalt platform that had served its useful life well. However, it was not level, sunk in many spots, not symmetrical with the property lines or garage door opening. The concrete garage floor was poured over 70 years ago with no expansion or control joints, and was severely cracked and settled in many places. I received quotes from three companies. I had spoke with Brian, the owner of Big B Concrete several years earlier. So finding that his business was still highly rated was encouraging. When the team arrived on-site they began work immediately. The first order of business was sawing out the garage floor - that was a dirty job, but the use of a concrete saw with a water attachment virtually eliminated concrete dust. I covered all the important areas of the garage wall with plastic sheeting to prevent splatter from the saw and any dust that would be created from sawing. After the garage floor was sawed and removed, the old driveway was then removed. There were several areas that had old tree roots that had to be removed. The direct-bury power line to my garage was found, was handled carefully by the crew, and not damaged. Next, the slope of the driveway was determined and forms were set. I had some of the sections of vinyl siding on the garage removed to prevent concrete from splattering and because the lower sections close to the surface would have to be re-cut at a later time. The pouring of the concrete required three trips of a concrete mixing truck. The job took a total of one week to complete. The weather was very hot, with threats of thunderstorms almost daily. The crew was tireless in their efforts and worked steadily through it all. Other challenges involved leaves from mature trees (stress from the summer heat) falling on the freshly poured concrete - these all had to be removed individually. The challenge of thunderstorms meant that pouring had to be carefully scheduled. Regarding permits, these had to be obtained for the sections of sidewalk and the driveway apron. These were all handled by Brian. Because Big B does work regularly in this area, my opinion is that it helped make the inspections a non-event. The final result of the project is nothing less than amazing. I have also received numerous compliments from my neighbors. The work has greatly improved the appearance and value of my property.

There had been a water line leak which caused the water company to require digging up half of the old apron approach at the street. This driveway was about 25 years old, had an exposed stone aggregate surface and was deteriorating in places so at least half of it needed replaced to restore it to an acceptable standard. After talking to the contractor about different options and prices, we elected to replace the entire driveway. The total cost was $7,200.00, but after the water company paid their share, my cost amounted to $5,600.00. Big B Concrete did an outstanding job from beginning to end, at a reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone who has need of concrete work.

The estimation and bidding process went well; no problems.

Brian called me back within an hour the first time I left him a message. He was out to do an estimate that weekend. Once I decided to go with him, he was able to do the work within a week. Brian took care of the permits/inspections without any problems. That was one part I was very thankful not to deal with much. He called and asked questions to make sure the driveway and sidewalk were designed and located exactly how I wanted since I couldn't be there. If I wasn't sure, he always had great suggestions. I had been putting this off for 4 years because I just wasn't sure what a hassle this could all be. Brian immediately put me at ease and followed through therefore making this a great experience for me. I have already had neighbors say they are jealous of my driveway. His guys who finished it were careful and made it look beautiful. I had pictures of it as well, and have had a few people ask for the company name and number. Thanks Brian, it's perfect!

The job went well from the beginning to finish. The price was very competitive with others. Brian communicated well, was friendly, was timely and cleaned up their mess daily. The concrete finished job appears to be a job well done.

it went very well, the finished product is more than words can describe. whoever wants his services....they need to check out the awesome job he did

Our experience with this company was exceptional. Brian came with a day to give us an estimate. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and his bid came in as the lowest of the four we received. He also promised not to begin another project until he was completely finished with ours to our satisfaction. The timing of this project was dependent on the weather, so when we had a forecast for a nice few days, Brian called the day before and asked if he could start the next day. He and his crew came early the next day and worked all day long, nearly completing it in one day. They were completely finished by the middle of the next day. The driveway looks wonderful and we have had several neighbors and even contractors here for unrelated projects comment on what a nice job he did. We would highly recommend Brian and Big B Concrete to anyone who needs a new driveway.

They did a great a job for a great price. Everything went well. We have recommended them to our neighbors and their driveway also looks good.

I obtained estimates from Big B and Custom Concrete both of whom are on Angie's List. Both firms met with me to view the work and provided highly competitive estimates, Both offered almost identical suggestions and I would take either to be highly qualified to do the work, but based on a very marginal difference in price I selected Big B. Brian Severs is the owner. We agreed on a date to do the work, and allowing for weather conditions he arrived as agreed with all the equipment and personnel required. The work was completed in one day.

Brian gave me the estimate himself. He put me on the schedule for 2 weeks later and carried out the work according to the schedule agreed on. The 3 men who did the work were punctual and courteous, and the result is completely satisfactory (even better than satisfactory, since the new driveway looks beautiful). They came back a month later to spray the Aquapel, to protect the concrete during winter weather. I have no hesitation in recommending them very highly.
