It took three months, and constant email requests, for the work to be done. When it was done the first time, they did not call or advise they were coming, and the work itself was very shoddy; unfinished sections, rough uneven sections, discolorations and a mess for my tenants to clean up. I emailed and called Hynek to complain and to his credit he was honest about what happened. Firstly, he subs out his concrete work; I was not aware of that and would not work with a contractor again that does that. The sub-contractor was unable to secure proper concrete so just went to Home Depot and bought ready-mix and finished the job after dark i.e. in a rush, so couldn't see what was what. Hynek agreed to have them redo the job, but it had to wait until next year after winter. Spring came and the work was done and the quality of the work was good. My issue was with the color of the concrete which did not match even remotely the remaining steps. The other steps are stone, but I did ask for it to be matched as close as possible (the first job, while super shoddy in quality at least was a closer color match). So now I have a dark grey concrete step alongside very light grey stone steps. When I raised this with Hynek i got a very curt response by email."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/morton-grove/hynek-construction-reviews-2324477.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Concrete Jack","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"VA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Joe D."},"reviewBody":"I booked the initial consultation online.

The change was pretty remarkable. Prime were attentive in the planning phases, attentive to our concerns, and full of good suggestions for salvaging what we thought was an unsalvageable space. Agustin, one of the project managers, was on site every other day checking on work and providing really helpful advice. And the everyday work guys were polite, friendly and hardworking. We never felt like we were being forced into anything, nor did we feel we lacked support. These guys don't nickel and dime and they do seem to care about the client. They felt entirely trustworthy. When it comes to big home renovation projects the finished product is never going to be 100% what you envisioned. But Prime came pretty darned close.

The entire company, from the office staff to the team of employees working on site, were polite and very professional. They arrived at the designated time each day. Despite the extreme heat (record breaking temperatures and high humidity) the entire week, the job was completed in the allotted time frame. In the past, the garage would get water running in under the garage door during heavy rains. With the new slope and grade, the rain is directed away from the house. After completion of the job, the area was cleaned and the edges of the driveway were finished off with top soil and seeded. In addition, the concrete driveway has enhanced our home (and probably value) and solved the drainage problems we had in the past.
I recently purchased a property at the bottom of a steep hill with some significant drainage issues that had been causing water damage. I reached out to Blue Collar Scholars based on a recommendation from my realtor with a pretty ambitious scope of work, including grading, drainage, and...

Contracted to have the work done in April, work didn't get done until June. The area of the repair was small and really didn't warrant the additional $200 I was charged and then to have the work schedule constantly delayed because I guess they only have one person who can do masonry repairs....

Concrete Finishing questions, answered by experts
As a general rule of thumb, allow 24 hours for penetrating sealers to cure and at least 48 hours of drying time for most topical sealers. Always check the instructions for the sealing product you’re using to determine the drying time.
The actual moisture level that is acceptable for your concrete floor depends on what primer or flooring material you plan to install above it. For this reason, you should check the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact details.
Generally, the moisture levels should be 3.5% to 4.5%, although it does vary. Some products can handle higher levels of moisture, so you should always test your concrete before purchasing your flooring materials.
Yes, you can pour concrete over an existing concrete patio to resurface it. This is a common repair method called resurfacing. For the best results, the old concrete should be clean and free from debris, and the new slab should be at least three to four inches thick and contain reinforcements, like fiberglass fibers or wire mesh, to avoid cracking.
It’s possible to pour your own concrete slab and stamp it yourself, but we don’t recommend it. Pouring concrete is a relatively simple operation, but for larger projects, you’ll have to pay for concrete delivery anyway. From there, you’ll need to make sure you get the proper thickness to avoid cracking and sinking, and then you’ll need to work quickly to get the pattern stamped on the surface at the right time—too early, and the pattern may settle back down, but too late, and it won’t set at all. Leave the work to a concrete professional for the best results.
Generally speaking, epoxy is the best garage floor coating. There are two main types of garage floor coating you can consider: epoxy and polyaspartic. Epoxy coating comes at a more affordable price but loses when it comes to durability and long-term use. Polyaspartic coatings cost more and don’t offer as much traction, but they withstand accidents better and don’t tend to fade. Most homeowners choose an epoxy coating.
