TC CONCRETE

Overall, Ted gets an A-. The minus because a couple of the strip footings were not level to each other and a bit of cleanup was required to remove all the nails from the forms..the good news is that they were short, which allowed the framer to easily fix things...it was critical that the floor was as level as possible for wine racking. The pour went very well and was clean -- they used a pump truck to pump the concrete through a window...the footings looked good and the mixture seemed great -- no signs of cracking or air bubbles. Most of the forms were removed as instructed, for backfill...only one was left as it was unreachable...epoxy was used for the dowels, as engineered and instructed...Ted knows what he is doing, he does a quality job, and asked very good questions -- questions that made it clear that he was on top of things and thinking ahead. I really liked Ted. There were a slew of engineering complications that made this job very complex. I will not go into the details, but the engineer was able to come up with a workable solution following some discussions w/Ted on the implementation problems...Ted was very astute and pointed out a number of practical execution problems that we eventually worked though. It should be noted that this room was designed for 75,000lbs...the concrete loading is substantial and there was no room for error....the soil loading was at the edge as well, especially on the pier pads...Ted delivered.

Ted and crew did a phenomenal job. They are prompt, accurate and professional. I was lowering an existing house onto the basement and they poured a square and accurate foundation. They communicated well around decisions that needed to made, placed knockouts for water, sewer vents and etc. The estimate they provided was clear and variable based upon measurable quantities - quantity of concrete, number of window openings and square footage. They were prompt and always showed up on schedule. The quality of the work showed when the house fit the foundation and the carpenters acknowledged the accuracy and workmanship. The basement floor, stairs and flat work were excellent. Not all concrete companies I looked at offered the ability to do high quality structural concrete and well finished flat work.
