"Oscar was very quick to respond, provided an estimate and completed the work within 2 weeks. His workers were polite and true gentlemen. We had lots of choices and he offered help to us to help us decide on the right colors for our basement and garage. Would definitely recommend to family and friends."

"Josh the owner and gentleman who worked on our sidewalk, patio and garage floor was always on time, kept his word, was professional and trustworthy. Many neighbors saw his creative work and they are looking to hire him...I give him the highest recommendation, thank you Josh and Home Advisor."

"Sammson Concrete did an excellent job. My village is particularly difficult with concrete code and has some laws that I don't necessarily agree with with regards to reinforcement of concrete. Throughout the process I always felt like Sammson concrete had my best interest in mind, and went out of their way to ensure the best job possible would be performed. The driveway and garage came out looking great, and I think with a lesser company I may not have had such an easy time getting quality work done."

"I know of no other contractor who has total customer satisfaction as his top priority like Mr. Flanagan does. He is absolutely the best.
My basement sustained ankle-deep water as the result of an outdoor basement stairwell drain that violently backed up because its circa-1951 drain line led to the street storm sewer (by design). That sewer was overcome with water during a storm in the summer of 2010 that featured a tornado in my western-suburbs area. Soon after pumping the water out of my basement with a mobile pump, the mess prompted me to (once again*) call Mr. Flanagan (*His crawlspace crew had done a beautiful job finishing my dirt-floor crawlspace with a concrete floor and wall insulation a couple of years earlier).
After the basement waterproofing project described in this review was complete, however, I was disappointed with the workmanship: The concrete work looked less-than-professional (out-of-flush with sump flange and the stairwell drain, plus way too many swirl marks and splattering) in the stairwell and basement's appearance areas. In short, it just didn't look like his business's flawless concrete job that was done in my crawlspace just years earlier.
Mr. Flanagan agreed. With no questions asked, he immediately had a different crew come to my home, tear out all of the previously laid concrete and drain lines and replace it with the workmanship that he would expect his crews to use in their own homes. The re-do of the project at least had met my high expectations for its cosmetics. And, of course, I hoped it was a sufficient waterproofing solution for my basement.
Fast forward just a few short years. Affter having perhaps sustaining that 100-year event with the Chicago-area rain storm of April 17-18, 2012, while my neighbors are pumping water out of their basements, mine remains bone dry. Thank you Mr. Flanagan and Crawlspace / Basement Waterproofing Solutions for a job (design and installation) well done. Your basement waterproofing solution indeed deserves an A+.

"THE best contractor I have ever dealt with! We hired Josh immediately after he explained the Acrylistain product to us. He was great to work with.....very polite, professional, trustworthy and an exceptional craftsman. We had him apply an overlay to a weather stained concrete pool deck and the job turned out better than we would have expected. I would definitely hire him again."

"The whole process was fine except I’m not happy with the finished project. The finish didn’t look good from the start and the top started peeling right after completion they came back and retouched it last year but it’s peeling again. I didn’t expect to spend $10,000 and not be satisfied with the work done. I asked for touch up paint this year but haven’t heard back."

"Very well! They worked very hard to get the job done before the weather turned and worked diligently until it was finished. The work was done well and I am very pleased!"
