"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!"

"Thunder cold called me based on an an inquiry I did for window replacement services at one of the big box stores. They were not affiliated with that store but rather some mutual sharing of marketing information occurred.  This was fine as they were a high quality company, although I did not realize that my contact information had been circulated so widely.  I did also get calls from other firms.

The gentleman at Thunder really spent the time to listen to me and also gave me some good information. This was for replacement windows for my Mom's house (built in early '50s).  He really listened and brought over two products that definitely fit our needs.  The key details were that we wanted vinyl frames infused with a light wood texture (many vinyl frame products are just a uniform color) and one of these product also was using a new high density flexible foam as a separator between the panes of glass. I checked into this technology further and found it to be quite smart and a very good idea.

Thunder is an installer who can represent several different products.  His bid was priced very reasonably and from what I could see on AL and BBB the company had a good reputation.

Ultimately we did decide to go with another product from a different company but this choice was purely because of technical details of the window vendor's design (we had no issue with Thunder and felt that they really gave us superior service.  We would recommend Thunder to other customers and may consider them in the future for other jobs.

FYI - the design difference that cause us to go with another product was that even though the vinyl met our needs and window technology was great, we found that the vinyl extrusion process used was basically for a single style of piece.  In other words, the top and bottom of the window frame were made from the same extrusion as the sides.  Since the top and bottom are different, additional small vinyl pieces are inserted to make the complete window.  This ultimately takes space away from the glass area of the window.  My Mom's house has very short windows and the amount of glass space lost would have been a problem.  We found another vendor who had both the high density foam and a three extrusion process (top, bottom and sides are all different)  for wood colored vinyl. Had Thunder carried that product, we would have carefully considered them."
