"Seemed to perform good work, which included chimney and wall repair. However, did not perform most necessary repair work first, which lead to cost and scope increases. Contractor completed most of the work but we had to hire someone else to complete the remaining work when they ran short on availability and did not return to complete the last tuckpointing work."

"Water proofing very good results. BUT Caution regarding floor repair from ANY contractor. Make sure you discuss what the floor repair will look like. Mine is not level, and Much rougher Than original floor. Another contractor said it was better than He typically sees. This was done several years ago. Sorry about the late review."

"The patio extension looks nice and was completed quickly for a good price. My only complaint is that with the wet weather the day before they left behind some significant ruts in the lawn. I'll have to rototill and re-seed those areas later this summer."

We've been installing concrete, brick, and stone in the Twin Cities for over 80 years. Our employees have been with us an average of 20 years.
"We chose Hage to replace our concrete steps because we thought they would be a trustworthy company. Mike Hage told us he wasn‘t sure they would get to our project before winter but we could put a 10% deposit down ($595) to hold the price for next year. In retrospect, that should have been a red flag because every other contractor we talked to wouldn’t take any money until they showed up to do the job. We ended up changing our plans before Hage even scheduled our project— still telling us they might not get to it until next year. We asked for our deposit back and he said no, essentially because in a document they sent us (but not the contract we signed) it stated that deposits are nonrefundable. We asked if he would please consider a partial refund, as I can understand the time it took to give us the estimate (even though those are free). He replied saying that our $595 deposit doesn’t even begin to cover the work their office does “printing photos, making job packets, and purchasing the permit.” I asked if any of that work had even been done considering our job wasn’t even going to be done until next year. He replied saying, “I am your salesman not the owner or your scapegoat. Please direct any further inquiries to the office directly as I have no knowledge of what has or has not been done-which makes no difference anyway.” Shocked by this rude and inconsiderate response. No accountability from Mike Hage of Hage Concrete. Hope this review prevents someone else from getting swindled."

To find the right pro for your foundation project, start by collecting several estimates and asking for references. Make sure each contractor is licensed, insured, and has experience with projects like yours. Taking these steps helps you avoid hidden charges and ensures you're partnering with someone you can trust.
Concrete foundations last 80 to 100 years or beyond. They are designed to support your home over many decades when constructed with premium materials and precise installation methods. Factors like soil characteristics, severe weather, and systematic maintenance directly influence their endurance. Watch for early indications of damage such as uneven floors, bowed walls, or cracks, and consult a foundation expert immediately to preserve your home’s structural integrity.
The most cost-effective foundation option is the monolithic slab foundation. It merges the footing and slab in one continuous pour, reducing labor and material expenses significantly while providing a strong, unified base. Its efficient construction method minimizes disruptions and costs, ensuring an optimal balance of quality and affordability. This option offers homeowners a reliable, budget-friendly solution without sacrificing structural integrity.
