Get matched with top foundation repair specialists in Marengo, IL

"The estimator (Kaz) was prompt, informative, and responsive to my many queries before I signed a contract. The project manager and workers were all very prompt, professional, and courteous. They were respectful of our property and that of our neighbors, taking off their shoes when inside and cleaning up their work. I asked them to run an additional line from one of my downspouts, which was done without incident. We also worked together to problem solve an issue related to the sump discharge line. On day 1, they cut our buried cable line because it was marked incorrectly. However, the foreman called the company and it was resolved/fixed within a few hours (it has taken more than a day in the past when I’ve called!). I was quite surprised at how they cleaned up after excavating for the 6 inch drainage pipes. They estimated 5 days to complete the work and finished in 3 days. While I was not excited to spend that much to fix the problem, we knew we needed to address the improper drainage. Additionally, while I feel that I know what needed to be done and probably could have done so myself for less money, it would have taken me 3 months, not 3 days with my schedule. Overall, I’ve been pleased with the work and may have them come back and address an additional drainage issue in our yard in the future."

"We were getting some water in our basement, which The Real Seal determined was coming from a crack in the foundation. They identified and repaired the crack quickly. Our technician worked neatly and efficiently, and all staff were pleasant and responsive throughout the process."

"The worker who came over saw my situation and unoffically suggested a repair that would be cheap for me rather than have him and his crew come out and charge me a few thousand. I appreciated that he wanted what was best for me and not necessarily best for his company."

"Called company on Monday and got an appointment for an inspection on Wednesday. That following Monday, the technician arrived and went through each step is sealing off the concrete foundation to the water leak. The fix worked well and was put to the test with the recent record rains. Not one drop of water came into the basement."

"The process was pretty simple; our estimator Andrew was knowledgeable and thorough and recommended the simplest/most cost effective fix. The cost was reasonable. The crack was fixed the following week. The water leaking through the crack immediately stopped."

"Overall the job went very well.  There was a problem that was discovered in reparation for the demolition of the large
patio slab that Professional Concrete moved quickly to overcome.  The slab to be demolished had cedar 4ftx4ft posts laid in the concrete as an artistic grid.  There was concrete under the posts that was thought to be 2in thick (common practice), for a total thickness of 6in of concrete that would have to be removed.  In reality there was a total thickness of 8in and re-bar.  Professional Concrete provided a revised cost then and there, which I approved and they went off the get heavier demo equipment.  Demolition was completed that first day.  Framing was done two days later after a rain delay.  The next gravel was laid.  The concrete was to be poured on two separated days.  The steps and small pad one day and the large slab the next.  On the first pour day Mr. Martinez and his crew came by all set to pour and the weather was not optimum so the pours were put off until the following Monday.  He did not want to rush and have the concrete crack in the future.  I was in total agreement.  On that Monday the weather just right and the two days of pours went off smoothly.  Once the concrete set properly Professional Concrete returned shortly to cut the crack arrests.  What remains to be done is application of the sealant and top soil to fill in by the forms and the ruts made in the lawn by the equipment. 
Throughout, Mr. Martinez and his crew were courteous, neat and efficient and explained each phase of work. 
I would recommend them and use them again.

"We had a crack in our foundation, called aculevel, man was very personable and told us it wasn’t a problem at all and we can even fix it ourselves-tuck pointing. I was so relieved! He literally could have told me I needed thousands of dollars worth of repair."

"Rivera Concrete Paving's $8,500 bid became $11,000. Owner Magdiel Rivera adds charges after you're committed and doesn't follow through after payment. Cost increases: I mentioned roots upfront - he said equipment could handle it, then charged $450. Said grading unnecessary, then created false urgency claiming we HAD to grade before concrete. Later said could grade after. Added $1,800. Crew broke drainage pipes, charged me $250. Couldn't move AC condenser despite my asking during estimate. Payment tactics: Said pay "when satisfied." Then requested half early, then full payment before done. When I said work incomplete, he asked "Don't you trust me?" then broke promises. Broken promises: Walkway cured wrong, no follow-up. $1,800 grading included 3-month landscaping - no communication. Promised debris cleanup, later said not responsible. Damaged 4-month fence, couldn't repair properly, paid $300 after pressure. Dismisses costs at estimate, adds them later. Makes promises, then excuses."
