"Cliff Wertz and George Wertz of Baker's Waterproofing were fantastic. Very polite and respectful of my daughter and me and of the property. They were very clean and worked extremely hard and were extra taxed by the heat, working in 90⁰+ degrees for two days doing very hard labor and precision work with the jacks. I would definitely have them back if I'd ever need anything else they provide."
"We had a concrete walkway and patio that was in need of repair. Several cracks and not level. We had several estimates to replace,which was very expensive. We had Lift It Pro give us an estimate on leveling the concrete. The owner was professional, answered all our questions. His price was WAY LOWER than replacing. We were given references to call. He completed the job in the time frame promised. Only one day to raise the concrete, and can use the patio immediately. If considering concrete replacement or repair, do not hesitate to call Lift It Pro"
"I recently worked with Justin Watson from Watson & Sons Construction on four projects across two properties, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Here’s a quick work summary:
-Garage Floor (Concrete flatwork): Justin expertly repaired cracks and resurfaced the entire floor, delivering a smooth, durable finish.
-Concrete sidewalk & steps rebuild: Two sidewalks, including a four-tier walkway, were rebuilt flawlessly, improving both safety and aesthetics.
-Concrete Patio Repair and Resurfacing: Justin revitalized our worn patio, enhancing both its appearance and structural integrity.
From the start, he provided accurate estimates and reasonable pricing. Every project was completed on time and within scope, with no surprises. His outstanding communication kept us informed every step of the way.
Overall, my experience with Watson & Sons Construction was excellent. Justin’s professionalism, expertise, and customer-focused approach make him highly recommended for any construction project!"
"Quick response to my request for a quote to seal our driveway. James called me within seconds of completing form on ANGI. Work was completed in a timely manner and was done professionally. Very neat. Driveway looks like new. Well worth the price."
"I called because I was looking to refinance my mortgage. Simply, instead of trying to sell me something I didn't need, Mark (the gentleman I spoke with) told me this was not the right time for me to refinance. What he told me made sense for my situation, and I appreciated the honest advice. I will definitely look this company up again when it is time for me to refinance. "
"Rob was great to deal with. The project was to raise 2 large porch slabs that had settled due to the original contractor failing to provide adequate support at the house wall edge. Rob showed patience and experience in carefully raising the large slabs, preventing any damage to the slabs or to the wall stone at the rear of the porch that was at risk if the raising was not done right. I'm very happy with the finished job and Rob guarantees his work, offering to return at no charge if any unexpected settling in the future. A quality contractor. I would highly recommend his services. By the way, I found him via Home Advisor. Thank you!"

Concrete Mudjacking questions, answered by experts
Concrete leveling is absolutely worth it if you have sunken concrete slabs and want to restore them to level, especially if the slab is part of your home foundation. Concrete leveling is less than half the price of replacing concrete sidewalks, patios, walkways, and pool decks, and it’s about a quarter of the cost of replacing a foundation. If you also treat the underlying problem, it can be a worthwhile and permanent solution.
Mudjacking is suitable for sidewalks, driveways, patios, and nearly all exterior flat structures. However, it may not suit severely damaged or heavily cracked areas.
Mudjacking typically takes 24 to 72 hours (one to three days) to dry and cure completely before you can resume normal use. The total drying time can vary depending on the size of the project. Because the slurry mixture contains cement, it needs to harden fully to prevent the concrete slab from shifting under added weight. You should avoid walking on the concrete or placing heavy items like furniture or vehicles on the surface until it has fully set. Your concrete contractor can provide a precise timeline. As a point of comparison, if you opt for polyjacking, the polyurethane foam can dry in minutes, but it's recommended to wait about an hour before use.
A slurry of cement, sand, and water is injected beneath the concrete to lift and stabilize it.
The polyurethane used for polyjacking will expand and cure in 15 to 30 minutes. After that point, your slab will be safe to walk on and even drive on in the case of a sidewalk or concrete driveway. Double-check with your concrete lifting specialist to confirm a curing timeline, as products can differ.
