Get matched with top concrete pros in Grantsville, MD

"Martin, Brandon, and Tony produced great results in terms of the Carbon Armor, Power Braces, drainage, and sump pump installation, and they did it all in two days in the middle of Winter, so I appreciate their dedication and workmanship. HOWEVER, there were a few things I was not thrilled about after all was said and done: First, they either forgot bags for their dust collection system or were having some other issue with it, which rendered it essentially useless. Rather than get bags from the hardware store or fix the issue, they continued on as normal, causing not only the garage, but the entire house to be filled with concrete dust. I was working from home that day and put on a mask when I noticed visibility decrease in my office. After the job was finished, my wife put all the exposed linens and clothes through the wash and had to "deep-clean" the house to remove the film of dust that settled onto everything. Second, they didn't use any sort of concrete saw to remove the old concrete for the drainage, just a jackhammer, so the line between the old and new concrete just does not look good. I hope to eventually redo the whole floor, anyway, so it's not the end of the world, but would have been nice to have straight lines in the meantime. Third, after they left, I noticed that the ceiling-mounted extension cord reel was unwound and hanging down a few feet, but I couldn't get it to wind back up. After taking it apart to fix it, I found that the cable was completely destroyed with wire actually exposed in some spots. I asked one of them about this and they said they never unwound it that far, so it couldn't have been their fault, but the security camera footage shows one of them unwinding it all the way, letting it wind up as fast as possible, getting it stuck, and then yanking on it until it shot sparks out! No wonder the GFCI was tripped! I had to throw that reel away, buy a new one, and install it. Fourth, I had to replace the handle on my garden hose spigot after they left. I'm guessing they didn't realize it was a quarter-turn valve and tried to open it past a quarter turn, stripping the stoppers on it. Not expensive to replace, but still annoying and I wish they would have mentioned it. Fifth, I was holding off on writing this review until I had a chance to call them and chat about these things, but was pleasantly surprised when THEY called ME to follow up before I got around to it! Unfortunately, I think the person on the phone was just hoping for an, "Everything is great," so she forwarded me to someone's voicemail to explain my complaints. That person never called me back, so I'm assuming that voicemail is essentially the trashcan labeled "Comment Box". Anyway, all the new hardware appears to be installed pretty well, the drainage and sump pump are working nicely, and I'm optimistic about the long-term results of it all the Carbon Armor and Power Braces, but there was certainly room for improvement regarding the job as a whole."

"I recommend Valle Concrete Contractors for my concrete driveway project. They did a great job, the work was beautiful, and they were very clean. I would 100% recommend them for your projects. I am very grateful to them for their professionalism and excellent work."

"First I must say we used Mickey's initially to install a driveway a few years back,and we were pleased with the results. Recently, Mickey's Asphalt was in the neighborhood doings asphalt work for other neighbors. One Saturday we received a knock on the door to see if we would like to have our driveway seal coated for $250.00. The price seemed reasonable, and we were pleased with their past work of our driveway installation, so we decided to get it done. The seal coat application was done within minutes. We were told to stay off the driveway for 24 hours. After the twenty four hours, the driveway looked wet and the tar topcoat was extremely tacky. So Sunday late afternoon we called the provider to see if they could provide information of why the driveway was not dry. Didn't hear back. On Monday evening thinking the driveway would be dry after 48 hours, my husband returned from work and parked on the driveway and left slight tire mark impressions. We called the office on Tuesday afternoon. The receptionist said she knew we called and said they had tried to call us back, but no message was left.( We have caller I.D., and I check my call log as well.) She said she would have someone call within the half hour. We waited two hours and called again, this time the receptionist got the one of the gentlemen who applied the seal coating. I explained now it was 72 hours later, the driveway was extremely tacky, and asked what could we do. They said they would come out the next morning and take a look.. They did come by the next morning, and they didn't seem too bothered by the marks left, and really couldn't explain why it still was not dry. They said they would stop around on Saturday and retouch the marks that were made. They never stopped back. The driveway took at least four more days to dry. We were disappointed they couldn't call back, provide answers, or stop back when they said they would.

"I am a senior with a background in construction.  After reviewing many contractors and speaking with some of them, I immediately knew I hit the jackpot when I spoke to Danny.
 
1.  He knew exactly what I needed and wanted done when I first spoke to him.  This entailed the replacement, repair, and installation of the items listed above with attention to quality in materials, prevention of future problems, a fair price, and a commitment to starting and showing up once the job was initiated.  Danny exceeded every expectation in these regards!
2.  I silently knew in advance manufacturers, quality and cost of exterior doors (including the french door), storm doors, door locks and deadbolts, leak-proof door sills for 6 inch exterior walls and a leak-proof barrier on the bottom of the door frames.  Without knowing of my preferences, Danny suggested the identical manufacturers and materials I had in mind.  At this juncture, we met and I hired Danny to perform the work.
3.  I am beyond pleased with the outcome of Danny's effort on this project.  As an example of his integrity, he asked me to trust him in the design and installation of an exterior octagonal window in a bathroom.  My wife and I were literally blown away with a handcrafted symmetrical waterproof tunnel and inside wall frame he created - more akin to an artistic piece than a window.
4. Inside work was always minimally invasive using tarps and soft shoes rather than work boots.  Outside and inside cleanup at the end of each work day was respectfully performed leaving no mess.
I would recommend Danny to anyone requiring any kind of interior or exterior installation, modification, or repair as I have seen firsthand examples of his experience, skills, and personal and business ethics.  In fact, Danny is presently working on costs to replace our roof."

"Pressured to sign the bill the day they did the inspection. Didn't like that but we seemed to get a discount by doing that. The work looks wonderful. I asked them to move one of the drain pipes and with a little prodding, they did. We were supposed to get dehumidifiers and they don't seem to be there. We are following up on that now. Very nice staff. Very responsive."

"The communication and services were superb. Derrick and the guy with him were great too. Down to earth and hard workers. Thank you!"
