I thought A-1 did a really great job on my front porch. The job was to stabilize my front porch and, in the process, seal up a large network of holes that a groundhog left underneath it. I reached out to A-1 through their website and received a response within a day or two. I met with one of their project managers to review the job. I thought Christian was very open and honest, and did a great job of explaining what needed to be done. I received the quote within a day, and had it scheduled less than a week later. The crew arrived right on time to my appointment, and completed it within the window that was provided. If I needed similar work done, I would certainly go with them again. To top it off, they also provide a 1-year warranty to cover the work that was performed.

We called A1 for an estimate for a mudjack on a cracked driveway. Christian came over to look at our driveway, and quickly determined that because of lifting due to tree roots, mudjacking would not work. He was punctual, professional, and did not try to upsell us. We will consider A1 in the future if we ever have an appropriate project.

The team was here last friday. They arrived early and immediately set to work. They worked quickly, finished the releveling of the driveway slabs, and cleaned up after themselves. Their work looks good and the price seemed fair. I'll have them back for another small job that I \should have thought to have done initially.

Turns out A-1 Concrete doesn't do the kind of work we needed for our foundation. This isn't a swipe at them, because Gary (the inspector) told us that upfront after seeing our house and the areas we were concerned about. He suggested we get a structural engineer to come out and do a report so we know exactly what needs to be done, then call a company that does the type of repair we need. I was very pleased to have been told something that made perfect sense to me. Gary was a consummate professional by not trying to sell me something I don't need. Very personable also. He did a very thorough job looking at every area of the house both inside and out, gave us recommendations on what he thought the problem was and made a suggestion that I have an engineer look at the problem. I did that and the engineer did end up telling me pretty much the same thing Gary had, although much more extensively. If A-1 Concrete did the kind of repair I need, I would not hesitate to consider them for the job. I will be calling them in the spring to do a driveway repair for me, though.

They showed up on time and finished in a timely manner. Andy came out while we were on vacation as promised and gave us an estimate which was far better than Bakers Water Proofing gave us. We called A-1 when we got back from vacation and within a week the project was done. Friendly workers and worked until we were satisfied.Thank you!

All went well. They came out to review the scope of the job and provided a written quote, On the day of the work they were punctual and did a great job and cleaned up any debris created by the leveling process. You could hardly tell they were there except that the walkway was now level.

Mitch came out and gave an estimate which I thought was reasonable. Work was scheduled in a timely manner. Work crew (Ben and Jason) showed up as scheduled. Work was done professionally and results were what we expected. They also cleaned up the area. Job took about 1 1/2 hours. Very pleased with the work and would definitely recommend this company.

Extremely well. Within budget, punctual, work was explained, waiting period explained. Workers were diligent/steady. Caulking does not allow water to penitrate under concrete pads. Raised pad directs water as originally intended.

Worth every penny. The process began at the Pittsburgh Home Show. The A-1 exhibit made it clear to my wife and me that A-1 had a superior and eco-friendly process, and decided then and there that we wanted to have A-1 provide an estimate for our project. Mitch bid the project. He was thorough and professional. His estimate met our expectations (Honored a 5% discount for seniors as noted in Angie's List General Information for A-1). We scheduled the work via Jessica - she was very considerate as we worked out the details. The A-1 crew (Andy and Jason) exceeded expectations. They were prompt, efficient, friendly, and professional. In the end, you would not know they were here. Results were as expected, with surfaces raised, leveled, and made flush where necessary (with no surprises); and better than expected, with several joints and the 1 inch injections holes in the concrete all caulked as neatly as could be. After job clean-up was 100%.

Below our front porch are a couple steps, a landing and additional concrete steps that lead in two directions away from the house. They looked like they had sunken over the years. When the project manager visited initially (when only I was present) he was very confident he could level our concrete. I was pleased with the price and his assurance. As soon as the worker arrived on the day of the project (when only my husband was present) he expressed his doubt that the landing area could be leveled. He completed the work that day, but one set of steps and the landing were still slanted. I could only see a noticeable difference in one or two sections. I called A1 immediately to express my concern that the project wasn't done to our satisfaction. The worker and the office staff were very receptive and helpful to us. When the project manager returned to see the finished product, however, he was rude and dismissive. He claimed he never told me they could fix the landing because it was "poured funny" originally. (That was never part of our original conversation.) My husband and I were very put off by his attitude and I felt very misled by our first meeting. Had we known a central part of the project couldn't be fixed properly we may have spent our money elsewhere. The company did send the crew back to try again and I saw an improvement in part of the steps. The landing still looks uneven, but apparently it can't be fixed. WARNING: Ask directly if your concrete area can be made LEVEL - not just raised - based on the way it was poured originally or if your improvement/results may be limited with this company's services. Again - multiple employees were kind, receptive, and professional. Just beware of those selling the services.

They sent out an estimator and he made an offer for the work. He estimated the work, a small section of what we needed done for $1000 dollars. We told him we would looking for have the whole section lifted, and he agreed to do the whole job, and he gave us an Angie's List discount! He did the job for $800 dollars. They drilled a small hole in to the sidewalk and poured the stuff in to lift it.The sidewalk was sinking to do the ground moving and the tree roots in our yard. They finished the job in less than hour. It was very well done, and we are very happy. I'd give him an A on all aspects. I would recommend them to anyone.

Initially it looked great, but first rain, it was quickly discovered that instead of the water penetrating the foundation, it now ponds on the porch making the area unusable for porch furniture and will create slip and fall hazards during the winter months. Upon contacting them, the salesman said there was nothing that pucks be done, and the operations director said that he would provide a solution. That was a proposal to spend an additional $600. Based on the email transactions it is clear that he was aware this project would not be successful, but he choose not to disclose that information up front.

Service Provider Response

The customer's original problem was that water was being directed into her home's foundation wall because the concrete patio was sloped and sinking toward the home. This was causing water to penetrate into her basement and garage through the wall. It was also deteriorating the concrete block. We were contacted to fix this problem. We concrete leveled all of the areas/slabs and sloped the concrete away from the home. The water is no longer getting into the block wall or inside her home. The problem for which we were contacted and retained has been fixed. In fact the customer praised our work when completed and agreed to provide a positive review. However, after the first rain, it was discovered that one of the concrete slabs had enough of a low spot in it that was created when the concrete was originally poured and finished that puddling of water was now occurring. The concrete was finished incorrectly by a cement finisher years ago. This low spot held water even after we leveled the slabs. This was not a condition that A1 created. This was not recognized until the first rain, which occurred sometime after we completed the job. The dip in that slab was not visually noticeable and would have been impossible to predict post leveling that water would pool on it. Once we were aware of the customer's complaint, the project manager who originally estimated the project inspected the area of concern. In his opinion the client had two ways of correcting this issue. One was to use a surface patch to raise the area to fill in that low spot. This is not ideal on an exterior slab due to longevity and appearance. The other option the client had was to install a drain to reroute the water. If you were to look at Mrs. [Member Name Removed]'s concrete there are two drains on the entrance side but none on the far side of the patio where the water sits. It's not clear why as nothing is different to our observation. So our proposition was to install a drain in the area that lacked one. We gave a quote to perform the work at a greatly reduced cost due to the nature of the situation. The quote was unsatisfying to the customer. Mrs [Member Name Removed] felt it should be done for her for free. We attempted to negotiate terms for a solution but the issue was perceived by the client to be entirely A1's fault. We did not feel that this was the work we were out to correct initially, nor did we have any influence on making the matter worse. This was an additional project that was identified after the original project was successfully completed. We empathized with the customer and tried to come to some arrangement. We were willing to suffer substantial loss to make the customer happy but there was no meeting, not half way, not a quarter of the way, not an eighth of the way, no way. At the end of the experience we felt like we were being taken advantage of and made financially accountable for a situation that had nothing to do with our work. We are sorry that her past concrete finisher did a poor job, but to make A1 culpable for that is in our opinion a little beyond what we are willing to accept.

It was a mix. Half and half. Side to side of the floor the floor is level. From rear to front they couldn't level it. The rear of the garage floor is lower than the front.
Description of Work
This was the second time I called A-1 to level my garage floor. The first time was a few years ago. I didn't know then, but the first leveling did not bring the floor level. It was sinking on the right side from water runoff in the wintertime. The second time, they were able to level the access side of the garage floor but they could not bring the floor even from the back to the front of the garage floor.

Everything went very well. Christian came out as scheduled to review what we wanted, discussed what, how, and cost. I had the written estimate the next day. At the time of estimate, he said they were about three weeks out. The work was actually done in one week (smallish job). It was very interesting to watch the two men work. They were very methodical, and constantly checking how the porch and walk were rising. Very satisfied.
