"I hired Roger to pour a concrete patio for a space that I had already excavated. He was flexible with pricing, considering that I had completed part of the project myself. Roger and his sons were professional, hard-working, and efficient. The quality of their work is exemplary, and I highly recommend them for any concrete project. In addition to setting the grade and pouring the concrete, Roger stamped the surface on the same day. He returned later to cut the slabs, creating his signature beveled edges, cleaned the slab, and applied colorâ all within a reasonable timeframe for the size of the job. Iâ m having them come back to complete the concrete for our front porch because the patio turned out so well. The patio is perfectly square and well-graded, ensuring proper drainage away from the house. Rogerâ s artistic design (he created and mapped out an inset patio border) is eye-catching, and the color selection complements the stone veneer at the base of our townhouse beautifully."

"I can't say enough good things about the work Matt did for us.

Weather was ugly in the area, but he was able to get the work started ahead of schedule *When the work started, he and his crew showed up on time and hustled the entire time they were on site. They were all very polite and friendly. *Work was completed timely and beyond our expectations. The finished product looks great!"

"While there's some good reviews for Melnick's masonry, I never got a chance to have an opinion of his work. However, I can certainly speak of the fact that he doesn't keep his Word, at least not with me I signed a contract with him in August of 2021, and he never showed up. I explained to him that I had a dangerous situation in my driveway with a large dip in the pavement, and during the winter when it rained or snowed this area would fill with water and freeze and it was dangerous and almost impossible to drive over it . What made it worse was the fact I've had 3 leg injuries, was on crutches for a long time, couldn't drive for a while, and still have to use a cane. If I got struck in the driveway, I couldn't get out of the car as I certainly can't walk or ice or snow. When I explained this to him and his wife, his wife told me that he would give me some priority. He of course, didn't and I called and spoke with him several times about this. He would give me excuses each time, saying that he was so terribly busy, that the man hauling away the concrete was having trouble finding a place to dump it, and the weather didn't cooperate at times, etc. He also said that if there wasn't enough gravel under the existing driveway and he had to haul in more gravel my quote would go up because otherwise, he wouldn't make any money. He told me one week he would call me within 2 weeks and try to take care of it, but he never called. When I finally realized this man was not going to to this, I had to start from scratch to find someone else, being afraid it was too late in the year to get someone. Thankfully, I finally found the right person, a person that apparently cares about people. He came after only a few weeks notice and gave me a new driveway. It was such a relief, and I told him I would be forever grateful. This man stated that there was no gravel at all under the old driveway and he had to haul in gravel, but his price didn't go up. I wish there were more people like this man that agreed to do my driveway, and this would be a better world. I called Phil recently to see why he never honored the contract. It sounded like he hung up on me. At least, we were disconnected. I called back and talked to him for a couple of minutes, but then his wife took over the call and was very upset with me; and I never got to speak with Phil again."

Concrete steps need repair when you observe minor damage like hairline cracks, small chips, or slight surface deterioration. These issues don't compromise structural integrity. Consider replacement if you notice wide cracks exceeding 1/4 inch, significant crumbling, severe tilting, separation from adjacent structures, or exposed reinforcement materials.
Safety should be your priority—if steps feel unstable underfoot or show signs of major deterioration, consult a professional promptly for a thorough assessment.
The durability of concrete step repairs depends on several factors, including repair technique, environmental conditions, and maintenance practices. Industry professionals suggest that properly executed repairs can provide many years of service when maintained correctly.
Regular maintenance, like periodic sealing, can significantly extend repair longevity. The quality of workmanship makes a substantial difference—professionally completed repairs tend to outlast DIY attempts due to proper material selection, preparation, and application techniques.
Permit requirements for concrete step repairs vary significantly by location and project scope. Cosmetic repairs rarely require permits, while structural modifications or complete rebuilds often do. If you're changing the configuration, dimensions, or adding features like railings, check with your local building department before proceeding.
Many homeowners' associations also have guidelines governing exterior modifications. Working with experienced contractors can be advantageous as they understand local requirements and can handle necessary paperwork.
For optimal results, industry professionals recommend scheduling concrete repairs during moderate temperature periods when conditions are relatively dry. Proper curing requires appropriate conditions—extreme temperatures can negatively affect the setting process. Excessive moisture during installation can also compromise repair quality.
Planning ahead for suitable weather conditions increases the likelihood of successful, long-lasting repairs. If emergency repairs become necessary during less-than-ideal weather, specialized materials and techniques may be required to ensure proper results.
