"Raschke Concrete and Construction was hired to pour 2 concrete slabs and 2 transition pieces at our business (The Sandstone Retreat) totaling 14 yards on concrete for the price of $10,000. The owner Gabriel Raschke assured me that it would be no problem and that he could start next but he required half the money to get started. We told him that my wife and I got him name off of Angi's list but since we didn't know him we were only willing to give him 2,500 now and when he was finished with the forms we would give him a check for $5,000 to pay for the 14 yards of concrete. The concrete was supposed to be poured on Friday February 28th, 2025 so I took a personal day to supervise the job. Gabriel Raschke came Friday morning and informed me that the concrete will not be there until Monday March 3rd, 2025. I was not happy about this but if it had to be pushed back then it gets pushed back but I told him that I would not be on site that day. I instructed a good friend that was doing some work at the Sandstone Retreat that day to keep an eye on them and let me know how the concrete progress was going. The 1st concrete truck showed up around 12:45 on Monday March 3, 2025 and Raschke Concrete and Excavation started the concrete slab. I called my friend and was asking how the concrete was going. He informed me that they started so I said send me some pictures. He sent me some pictures and had some concerns about how it looked but I figured that it would be fine. My friend sent me more pictures about 20 minutes later and confirmed my concerns. I called my friend at the Sandstone and asked what was going on and he told me that it's not good. I sent Gabriel Raschke a text at 3:16 PM and asked what was going on but didn't get a response back from him until 6:37 PM saying that he is going to call the concrete company because they put to much calcium in the concrete and it set up to quickly. Gabriel called me and told me the whole story and said that there was too much Calcium in the concrete and he could get the job done because it set up to quickly. I told him that was not my problem and asked him how they are going to fix it. He said that he will put a skim coat of mortar on it and it would look good. I told him that won't fix the problem and that I want it all chipped out and removed."

"I contracted Maxxima Concrete for a substantial residential driveway project involving over 40 yards of concrete. While the final product is functional, the overall experience left much to be desired and raises serious concerns about workmanship and accountability. From the outset, I had to intervene multiple times to ensure basic standards were met. For example, the team initially resisted digging deep enough to accommodate a proper 4-inch gravel base—something fundamental to long-term durability. I also had to correct their handling of the mesh wire reinforcement, which was laid but not properly elevated during the pour, compromising its effectiveness. The finished driveway includes visible engraved marks along each control joint—an aesthetic flaw that was acknowledged but not resolved. Instead of addressing the issue, Maxxima offered a discount, which felt more like a way to avoid remediation than a gesture of goodwill. They did extend the warranty from one year to two, which I appreciated at the time. Unfortunately, they have not honored it. I’ve reached out via text and email consistently over the past six weeks regarding discoloration and two areas showing early signs of cracking—just three months post-installation. Despite multiple attempts, I’ve received no response, no site visit, and no effort to engage in a conversation. This lack of communication and accountability is unacceptable. I will be posting this review across all known LLC and address variations (of which there are a few) of Maxxima Concrete on Yelp, Google, and the BBB. If the situation remains unresolved, I will pursue further action through small claims court. I hope this review helps others make informed decisions. A fair price and initial effort do not compensate for poor follow-through and disregard for customer concerns."

"A big thank you to Jim and the crew at CT Concrete! They were so wonderful to work with. Great communication, always on time, and the quality of their work was truly outstanding. We are so happy with our new driveway. They exceeded our expectations. Thank you guys!"

"Excellent! They were done in 3 days, and it looks wonderful. A little slow with communication and scheduling in the beginning, but remained professional and did a great job. I have recommended them several times to other neighbors and friends."

"I'm re- writing my review they called this morning to see what they can do to make things right so I think it was just miss communication on both sides so they r coming out today to do estimate so my first review is now no good I have a better perspective of this company"

"PERSONALLY GREAT WORKERS!!"

"EXCELLENT WORK"

"If I could rate this company zero stars, I would. Cancelled their appointment the first time, the second time—they no-showed/no call. Nick claims he was in the hospital, wished him well and was glad he was feeling better and he rescheduled for a third time. Again, no showed/no call. He claims he’s a professional company, but doesn’t run the business or portray himself as one. He has cost us a lot of time and money. Beware!"

"Kelvin and his crew were great. They did our driveway, sidewalk , and porch. On time and very efficient. We definitely will get them again when needed."

"Fantastic. The two men who performed the work were friendly and very hard working. I definitely recommend Juan Landscaping!"
