Get matched with top stamped concrete installers in Long Beach, WA

"The estimator that came out was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took the time to understand my needs, and it didn't feel rushed. I enjoyed the conversation. One thing I wish they would offer, is a turn-key solution. There were aspects they weren't willing to take on - adding drainage under the deck, creating a hard barrier around the deck, etc. This means, I would have had to complete some of the work myself, or hire it out myself. I would expect for this price they presented, they would subcontract whatever other services I would need to complete their deck installation. The estimation and bidding process was not very transparent. They provide a final cost estimate, and aren't able to illustrate the various costs (labor, materials, profit) in detail. I also wasn't given a copy of the estimate, only shown the final number on the estimator's computer screen at my house. After having the evening to think things over, the price seemed pretty high to me. I created my own cost model using the actual retail costs for materials from the same company they buy their materials from, a generous fully-loaded rate for labor, and a generous 50% profit margin (on labor only). My model was showing a price about 35% lower than what they presented to me. I went back and forth with a couple of folks at USI, and they told me it was a 33%/33%/34% breakdown. This doesn't make sense to me, since the labor should roughly cost the same (assuming the same size, type, and features) no matter if I choose expensive or inexpensive materials. This model should break in most situations. The only cost justification they made was a 5 year warranty on construction - which is great, but given the cost, it feels like I'm buying an insurance policy on it anyway. The other thing was their quality, which is undeniably a contractor's reputation. Without seeing the cost breakdown, how is someone supposed to know how to make compromises, or to even make sure everything I was asking for is included? I'm not cheap, and I value craftsmanship and good service - I know that costs money. But if you can't illustrate that and educate a customer that what you're presenting is a good value, then you won't be getting my business."

"Elias Contruction provided a detailed estimate after inspecting the roof and making some qualified recommendations. The project required a few change orders that were not clarified in writing. I would recommend hiring Elias if you get changes in writing. They cleaned up pretty well although they missed a few things due to finishing in the dark. Overall satisfied with the job and cost was 60% of other bids due to sheathing adjustment."

"Friendly, professional service and skillful, timely workmanship. I am happy with my new concrete patio! Thank you!"

"He is very good adapting to very unique projects. He would always be there when he said he would be"

"They did a real good job. They were real professional. We can now open the garage door from the inside of the house and now it is so smooth that we have to check to see if we hit the button to open it or close it.  Before we used to know when it was opening or closing because it used to make a noise. It helps when you move to a city where you are new. "
