Shoreline Concrete

Bruce from Shoreline Concrete was one of the few people to respond to my request for a quote for a relatively small project. He came out to see the site within a couple of days and gave me a verbal quote that ended up being the minium cost they would charge for any project. It was considerably lower than the other quotes I receieved. The crew that arrived to complete the project was courteous and on-time. They explained each step of the project to me. Throughout the process Bruce was very responsive to my e-mails and answered all of my questions. We are happy with the results and would hire this company again.

Shoreline was great to work with. When I go out for bids, I first judge a company based on their timeliness of response, and the professionalism in which they do so. Shoreline checked the boxes and was friendly and clear about the process. I especially appreciate how they are a multigeneration company in business for over 20 years. That was the final selling point for me, after reading the reviews and seeing the responses showed care, not dismissal when people had issues. They care about their company and the work product they deliver. Because of the season (winter) they were able to get out in short order and complete the job in 2 days. Other bids were 4-5. Good quality, very pleased. The crew was respectful and friendly. Would be happy to use again and recommend to others. My neighbor is now getting a bid as a result.

I was really impressed by Bruce and Keith (finisher and foreman). Bruce rearranged his schedule to give me a bid since we live on the Olympic Peninsula. We had a lot of weather delays due to snow and rain but at the earliest opportunity Keith and his team got the prep and pour done in two work days. It was a technically difficult job with the location of an existing catch basin but the work was done with great attention to detail. In my experience they always kept their word and responded promptly. Their team was fast and clean and the quality of this job raised the appearance of the entire property. If you have to wait a little to get on their schedule there is a good reason for it....they are worth it.

Shoreline did a great job. Keith and his crew performed great and cleaned up after themselves every day.  They were very professional and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who has a need for concrete work.

Bruce gave me an estimate in May that was right between two other estimates we obtained. He seemed confident that they could handle the job. Keith came early August to prep the floor and then pour concrete the next day. He and his crew were professional but friendly. It's great to have a new floor in that part of the basement. Thanks guys!

Went well.

We had pumper truck supply to backyard.

Estimated quantity needed was very good. I had separate smaller area, about 6' x 8' that I included in project, to be used as a foundation for a putting green. Beyond that there was one full wheel-barrow of unused cement after cleaning out pipes run from pumper truck. fortunately I had a place from a different project where we poured that remainder.

I would hire this contractor again, but whether it be this one or another I will hope to remember to ask about the disposition of any remainder, especially if I don't have a place to dispose or use. On the bright side, having a little extra is a whole lot better than being a little short. Might not have yielded such a smooth putt.

My husband hired and worked with Shoreline Concrete and they did a fantastic job at a very good price.  The entire crew was very professional, accommodating, and friendly.  Our thanks go out to Keith, Ivan, and Jason. We  would hire them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to all of our neighbors.

Nice folks, worked to avoid additional expense.

Bruce was waiting when I arrived home to meet him for the bid. After I explained what I wanted, he was able to give a price right away. His bid was the lowest by a wide margin, but still met every requirement I needed. ALL other contractors were higher to much higher even leaving out cheek walls. I also was clear that I wanted them to work neatly and not leave any mess to cleanup. 
When work commenced, they covered the lawn, work area, and house walls with plastic and kept their tools on it. They worked carefully and neatly. They cleaned up thoroughly every day before they left. The job site (my front yard) showed no effect from a week of workers tromping around (not including curing time). The work exceeded my expectations; I could not be happier with my choice to go with Shoreline Concrete. I would recommend them without reservation. I would mention that the best way to communicate with them is by email; they always answer the same day or first thing next morning.

The entire multi-phased project went very well - thanks to Shoreline's professional and craftsmanlike attention to detail and commitment to scheduling.

The work was high quality and they were efficient.  They were communicative as well.

They were able to schedule within a week of my call. On the scheduled day, Tim arrived with his team of 3 workers, along with the big Salmon Bay cement mixer truck. The guys trundled wheel-barrow after wheel-barrow full of concrete from the huge truck down about a 50 fool long alley to the site. They worked swiftly, efficiently, as a coordinated team They had arrived at 10:30am. By 10:50 all the concrete had been delivered and Tim was working on smoothing.  By 11:30 when I checked, Tim had gone while the concrete "rested". He then was back in the afternoon to do the final surface finishing. I am pleased.

The job is done and at a good price. I had some trouble getting it done on time. A couple times a worker who was supposed to do parts of the job didn't show up according to schedule, so things dragged on a bit longer than I would have liked. But again, the job got done and the work is fine.

When I arrived home I found that only one of the two support beams had been replaced, there was still about 1-2 feet of rough cut concrete around the garage, concrete rubble was still lying everywhere (it looked like a war zone) and the door to my garage was left wide open.
They had already invoiced me, so I called to say there must have been some mistake and that work wasn't complete.  Pictures I sent quickly confirmed this. They said they would get out to get the work done and apologized for leaving the door open (literally gaping open, not just unlocked).  They confessed they weren't locking the door at night with the key I left them. This was of course concerning for a variety of reasons.
I spent a week going back and forth with the company - meeting them at the house 3 additional times - until they finally finished the project to acceptable standards.
I will add that they were also very difficult to get ahold of after I had accepted their bid.  They were, however, responsive once I told them I was extremely dissatisfied with their work and would not be paying them until it was completed as described.
They assured me my experience was not reflective of their usual work and customer experience.

A great job.  no complaints.  Weould hire them again for future cement work.

They were great. I do know the cost of the service because my husband dealt with that. They were prompt and they had a good bid. They cleaned up their mess and everything was just what we wanted. After we got the bid, we went with their bid.

Shoreline Concrete was able to bid our job quickly. They listened carefully to our requests to ensure the sidewalk drained away from the house and had a rougher finish so that it wouldn't be slippery. The finished result is exactly what we were hoping for. The workers were professional and easy to talk to while the job was underway.

There were a few times we expected them to show up on a particular day and they didn't and they didn't communicate with us about the delay. It wasn't a big deal since their work was on the side of our house and didn't impact our daily lives. After the sidewalk was done, Shoreline Concrete protected it with plastic sheeting draped from boards nailed to our house. They said they would come a few days after the concrete was poured to remove the plastic and the frames. They didn't show up for almost a week. My husband finally called them and they said they "forgot" about removing the plastic and frames. Even after they removed them, there was a still a board nailed to our house. Again, not a big deal to remove the board, but I'm a little disappointed at the lack of attention to details.

The estimate didn't go that well. They kept missing the point as to what I wanted. I even supplied pictures.
I told them in the beginning that I wanted only the eight treads and risers redone. (two sections) They gave me two bids: one for the treads, risers and sidewalls. The other for the treads, risers, sidewalls and landing strip between the two sections. When I got through to them what I wanted, they gave me a bid for 4 treads and 4 risers. Luckily, I knew exactly what I wanted. They showed up a day late and told me after the fact.  Other than that they did a very nice job. I would definitely hire them again. The price was also very reasonable. Again, the guy who did the job did a very nice job.

Shoreline provided excellent service and cost proposal for a very complicated underpinning of existing foundation walls and new concrete foundations for new construction. A phased project that required on time and fast work. Well done Bruce and Keith. The owners appreciate yourexcellent work and pricing. You made me look good. No delays, no added costs. Thanks - we'll work together again. Bob - Project Architect

The experience was good, but I had to be present to make sure what they were doing and what I wanted.  They end up doing a good job, but there were points where I had that were not what I exactly wanted.  The wall was along the property line and I had to make sure they indeed place it right up the property line.  There were things that required directions, but the end result was good.  The access to the work area was limited.  This company did everything by the hand, so they didn't have to bring the heavy equipment from the neighbor's yard that requires heavy mechanism.  The pricing was very good and I would have lost the money in the amount of thelabor, but it was a fair price.  If I wouldn't have been here, then it wouldn't have been what I wanted.  The responsiveness was very good.
