Get matched with top concrete resurfacing pros in Pataskala, OH

"Raschke Concrete and Construction was hired to pour 2 concrete slabs and 2 transition pieces at our business (The Sandstone Retreat) totaling 14 yards on concrete for the price of $10,000. The owner Gabriel Raschke assured me that it would be no problem and that he could start next but he required half the money to get started. We told him that my wife and I got him name off of Angi's list but since we didn't know him we were only willing to give him 2,500 now and when he was finished with the forms we would give him a check for $5,000 to pay for the 14 yards of concrete. The concrete was supposed to be poured on Friday February 28th, 2025 so I took a personal day to supervise the job. Gabriel Raschke came Friday morning and informed me that the concrete will not be there until Monday March 3rd, 2025. I was not happy about this but if it had to be pushed back then it gets pushed back but I told him that I would not be on site that day. I instructed a good friend that was doing some work at the Sandstone Retreat that day to keep an eye on them and let me know how the concrete progress was going. The 1st concrete truck showed up around 12:45 on Monday March 3, 2025 and Raschke Concrete and Excavation started the concrete slab. I called my friend and was asking how the concrete was going. He informed me that they started so I said send me some pictures. He sent me some pictures and had some concerns about how it looked but I figured that it would be fine. My friend sent me more pictures about 20 minutes later and confirmed my concerns. I called my friend at the Sandstone and asked what was going on and he told me that it's not good. I sent Gabriel Raschke a text at 3:16 PM and asked what was going on but didn't get a response back from him until 6:37 PM saying that he is going to call the concrete company because they put to much calcium in the concrete and it set up to quickly. Gabriel called me and told me the whole story and said that there was too much Calcium in the concrete and he could get the job done because it set up to quickly. I told him that was not my problem and asked him how they are going to fix it. He said that he will put a skim coat of mortar on it and it would look good. I told him that won't fix the problem and that I want it all chipped out and removed."

"They explained their proposal clearly with integrity. They were prepared to install a sturdy, long lasting driveway (4500 PSI with wire mesh) at a reasonable price. The crew was diligent and highly skilled. They did not damage other areas and left the work area clean. What more could I ask?"

"A big thank you to Jim and the crew at CT Concrete! They were so wonderful to work with. Great communication, always on time, and the quality of their work was truly outstanding. We are so happy with our new driveway. They exceeded our expectations. Thank you guys!"

"Kelvin and his crew were great. They did our driveway, sidewalk , and porch. On time and very efficient. We definitely will get them again when needed."

"We are very pleased! The estimator came out twice to discuss the job. He made suggestions that changed it from a mere replacement of a concrete walkway and front porch, redesigning it and improving it immensely. The actual job was also done very well."

"badly,concrete ran off into driveway.also by using jack hammer put holes in driveway. it looks worse now than it did before.i got an estimate it will cost $1,174 dollars to fix"

"Mark Rodgers and his crew were beyond excellent at every step of the process, from the estimate, to scheduling, digging up our old driveway and then pouring and finishing our new one! Communication was easy and thorough throughout the process. Mark is a kind man, and patient with any question at all. He does quality work, cares about the details, and he doesn’t cut corners. Not only is our new driveway beautiful, but he cleaned up everything when they were finished! I highly recommend Mark Rodgers Construction!! You will not be disappointed!"

"I posted this review and received a derogatory response from the company. I am reposting it with the information to validate that I was a customer of this company in October of 2014. I also provided photos in my original post of the things that I mentioned in the review. Flavio Pinheiro would never show up when he promised. The job kept getting delayed. All throughout this experience, he kept taking jobs out of state, and also claiming illnesses, to the detriment of my job. I travel for work, and can't be on top of these projects 24/7. They never finished the job, they did the mow strip incorrectly, and they left trash, chunks of concrete, and lawn damage behind. I finally had to have someone else come and finish it, costing me an additional $1500. They used some of my landscape trim to form the borders for the concrete pour, instead of creating themfrom their own supplies, promising that it would be easy to clean up. It wasn't, and the trim was no longer usable. He hired a Customer Service person, but that panned out to be worthless. I would not recommend this con artist to do anything in my yard ever again. As to the comment left from the company on my original review, I did indeed have a contract with Maxima Concrete, when Flavio Pinheiro was the owner. It may have changed hands since then, but the truth still stands for what I had to go through in October of 2014. I have attached a copy of the contract I had (with personal information blocked out) to prove it. The date of service for this contract was not accurate as posted, but this site does not allow for changes to that field. The site takes the date of the review as the date of the work done."
