"Let me preface this by saying, I contacted 4 concrete "professionals" before finally finding Hector at Professional Concrete. I found them all on Angie's List. 3 of them did not show up for their estimate, no call, no show. One was 2 hours late and their estimate was ridiculously high. Professional Concrete was the exact opposite of the other companies. They showed up on time, did great work, at a reasonable price.
We had a walkway that was made of paver stone leading up to my house. It was put in before we bought the home and it was not installed properly. It had sunk and become an eye-sore as well as a hazard. We also wanted to put in a new walkway to the side of my garage. Lastly, we wanted to put in six 3x3' concrete squares in a patio area in front of the house that we will accent with stone and create an artsy little space up front.
I called Professional Concrete on a Saturday Afternoon. I had waited around all day for some other company to come out and give an estimate...and they never showed up. I was pretty frustrated. I left a message with Professional Concrete on Saturday and I received a call back on Monday morning at 8:30 AM. The woman on the phone was professional and very friendly. She said I could get an estimate the same day.
Hector showed up 5 minutes early for the estimate. He was friendly and very professional. Me measured everything wrote up an estimate and was able to give me a price on the spot. I had already done some research about them and I had seen their sample photos online so I was pretty confident in their abilities. His price was very fair. It was not cheap but not expensive. It was pretty much what I thought it should cost. It was considerably less than the estimate given by the one other company who had bothered to show up.
I was booked 2-3 weeks out which seemed reasonable. However, a week after the estimate I received a call saying that they could get to it early if I was interested. I was pleasantly surprised. They showed up on time on a Wednesday and tore everything out. They then spent some time with me designing the exact curves of the walkways and placement of decorative squares. They even saved the paver stones for me. They placed them on a pallet and moved the pallet where I requested. Then after that first day, they cleaned everything. they even swept and hosed off the street in front of my house where they had parked their truck and trailer. My driveway was cleaner than before they started.
Hector made sure that all proper permits were pulled for my area. He even took it upon himself to stop in the inspector's office and make sure nothing special was required. Pleasant Prairie has some strict building codes. Friday, they put down the right amount of underbase and gravel and poured all of the concrete. You could tell in every step that they knew exactly what they were doing. The slope of one of my walkways did not make the job easy but it came out perfectly.
Both walkways came out wonderfully. In fact they look better than I had envisioned. The decorative squares they poured are incredibly accurate and are perfectly square and exactly where I wanted them. They are all the exact same height off the ground. They were done just like they should be done...carefully and properly. Again, they look far better than I thought they could. They again cleaned everything and if it was not for the concrete forms and caution tape, you would never have known they were there.
Saturday morning they showed up, again on time, and removed the forms and molds. The end result is simply great. Everything about the job is exactly what I wanted or better. Everything is perfectly sloped where I wanted slope or level where I wanted it level. The texture is great. The measurements are all spot on.
My wife is extremely happy. Several of my neighbors have stopped by and told me how much better it looks. Anybody who has seen it has been very impressed with everything about their work. I myself am really shocked at how great it looks. I will call Hector and Professional Concrete for any type of concrete work I need done.
