Get matched with top concrete driveways & floors installers in Allerton, IL

"I met and dealt with Richard while I was having my bardominium built in 2023. The concrete he pored for the 64x40 was perfect. He helped me out in many other ways on his own time on the weekends. I am happy that he has acquired the honest family business his dad worked so hard to make successful, and that Richard has been a part of since a very young age."

"They did exactly what I asked for and they did a great job."

"Amazing job.  Would highly recommend Owens Concrete!!"

"Jamie Moore came and gave me a quote for the work which was reasonable and then returned with a helper to do the work. He sealed the cracks in the concrete and covered the caulking wirh sand. The results were excellent."

"It went very well and I was pleased with their work. They cleaned up before they left, you wouldn't have even know they had been here."

"They were awesome!  I can't say enough about the job they did.  The time estimate was right on, they were prompt, very professional and did a super job.  The patio looks brand new.  Also, they were able to put the non-slip additive in and now we can walk on it when it's wet without the fear of falling.  This is great especially for the grandkids. <br />"

"After showing up several hours later than promised, and too late to complete the work as the sun was setting and temperature dropping into 40s, then not showing up the next day as promised, I had to call to find out what was going on. Again the workers did not showing up at the time promised, but were several hours late, and then the work performed appeared rushed and was very poor quality. The seal coating completely missed a couple large areas of the driveway, the grass was not edged back from the drive leaving the edges of the drive untreated with sealcoating, and I was left with questions about whether some of the cracks that were not filled should have been (to me some of the unfilled cracks looked to be larger than 1/4 inch). I texted pictures to Tim of the work, and he had his employees come back out to completely redo the driveway, and he came out himself to supervise and help. There were many different excuses given by Tim and the employees about the reasons for the poor communication and poor quality of the initial work (previous jobs took longer than expected, worker's partner was at hospital because of sick relative, two employees were new with one that had no sealcoating experience, etc). However the final work completed was A+ quality work and looks almost new again. Received many compliments on the final job, and my neighbors had Central Paving and Sealcoating do their driveway. The company came through and made everything right in the end, and we would most likely call them again when our driveway needs another sealcoating, but we would do so knowing not to expect excellent communication and punctuality. <br />"

"When we asked around for a mason with a good reputation, Halfar came up in all of our conversations. They lived up to their reputation with us: <br /> Upon our request for a quote, the owner of the company came to our house within a week to assess the situation. We had recently purchased a new home, and the inspection had revealed that some of the external bricks on our chimney were spalling and the concrete crown had exhibited some minor cracking.  <br /> Steve inspected the chimney very closely and told us that the damage was not to a point where he believed the bricks needed to be fully tuck-pointed. Rather, he suggested that his company could save us some money by patching and sealing the damaged areas of the chimney. He was open that this would be a temporary fix (5-6 years), but that it would ensure that no further damage would occur in that time (by preventing water from entering the brick and expanding during the freeze/thaw cycles we have around here). We appreciated the honest assessment, as other masons we spoke with told us they would only be willing completely replace the chimney (to the tune of $4-5k). <br /> If you read the other reviews for Halfar, you'll notice that they are so busy that they tend to be booked several months out. This was the case when we hired them, but Steve was up front about the situation. He also assured us that our damage was not a time sensitive situation and that as long as we addressed it before winter we would be fine. <br /> Halfar's masons showed up at our house sometime about 2 months later and completed the work in less than 2 days. The workmen were very professional and did a great job of cleaning up after they finished. Our chimney looks great and we're very happy with the quality of the work and the price. We definitely recommend Halfar to those of you looking for a quality mason. <br />"

"<br /> Prior to this job, I had never hired a general contractor to work on my home or property. I had either done the work myself or hired sub-contractors to do work beyond my abilities (ie ? masonry). I took time in finding someone I thought I could trust and who seemed truly interested in the job. I signed a contract with Renew Concepts in late July. Initially, Mark planned to complete the job by the first week in September. Work did not begin until the second week in August, but this was expected. <br /> <br /> Mark started with tree removal and the removal truck promptly broke down. It sat in my yard with my back fence removed for about 10 days with no progress made on any of the work. I believe the tree work was finished at the end of August. <br /> <br /> Driveway and yard excavation was next and this took little time. Unfortunately, weeks passed before any concrete was poured. The garage masonry, dry well, and underground electrical work was done during this time. The excavation, electrical, and well work seemed well-done but constituted only a few days worth of work during the weeks that passed. <br /> <br /> The patio and drive were poured in two parts. When the drive was poured, no work was performed during the initial curing process. After 2 weeks (I think) subcontractors came in to complete the garage roof and construction for the garage door. <br /> <br /> In October, the yard was then graded and the work was more or less done in the yard except for the clean-up and replaced fencing. Mark began construction of the composite deck and completed the relief cuts for the concrete and the drains for the downspouts. This took weeks. <br /> <br /> In early November, Mark completed the new fencing at the back of the yard and between the garage and house. The deck was also completed. Final clean-up was done in mid-November. <br /> <br /> All this work was of good quality and met or exceeded my expectations. Mark uses quality materials and is careful about his work and the work of his sub-contractors. The main issue, obviously, is that this job took so long to complete. My first payment was in late July and the final payment was Nov. 30. Mechanical breakdowns, illness, and injuries kept Mark from being able to stay on top of the job and time just kept passing by. <br /> <br /> I am a patient person in general, but the passage of time wore on my family and me. Frankly, except for the excavation and concrete, I could have done all of the work in the same time frame for less money. Mark did his best to make-up for the delay. He is a personable and intelligent business owner, but seemed to lack the resources to find solutions to the delays. He was unable to find another contractor to fill in when he was incapacitated and had a limited number of employees that he could trust to do the work to his satisfaction.  Note: when Mark came by recently to fix a problem with the deck, he mentioned that he is looking for a manager. This may solve delay problems. <br />   <br /> There are other lesser issues with the work, such as multiple rebuilds for parts of the deck, but these were all solved quickly and to my satisfaction. The cost of the work was reasonable and Renew Concepts goes out of its way to recycle or reuse material, making the job a bit more environmentally sound. Mark was readily available by phone and tried to keep me up-to-date regarding delays and other changes. Even though the work took far too long, I never felt as if I were being scammed or deceived in any way. <br /> <br /> I checked that I would not hire this contractor again; yet, the work was good enough that I may be persuaded to hire them again on a small job to give the company a chance to redeem itself. <br />"

"Whenever you tear into an older home (37 year old house) you are never quite sure what you will find. Plus, as the project took shape and we were no longer looking a a drawing, we changed our mind about a couple small things. The MJ crew was great to work with about making changes to ensure we were happy with the finished project. Our home did not have the proper plumbing for the bathroom (instead of under the floor, the sewage lines ran out the wall to the septic tank) so half of our project cost was for tearing up the concrete floor and installing plumbing that should have been installed when the house was built. The project took a little longer than anticipated but Jeb and his crew saw that by the end of the first week we were able to move the washer & dryer back so we could do some laundry without having to run to the laundrymat. Thankfully, a friend had an appliance dolly he could loan us for the 3 week duration which made it easy to move the washer and dryer in and out when workers were coming and needed to be in that area."
