Get matched with top poured concrete wall pros in Minneapolis, MN

"Hardline did an amazing job with our garage floor fix, trench drain, and apron. They went above and beyond to correct the issues from when the original garage floor was poured and failed. I also really enjoyed getting to know the team working on the project, they were very personable and took pride in what they do. The owners, Brenda and Jon, are just great down-to-earth people. I would absolutely recommend Hardline Concrete & Masonry to others!"

"I was in emergency need of replacing a timber egress window well and an adjacent paver patio that chipmunks had tunneled into and destroyed. I needed it replaced before it caved into the basement window and now was the time. Secondly, I hoped for finding someone who could install a concrete pad attached to my garage’s slab for a future 3-season screened porch. I was having a struggle finding anyone for either. Patio installers didn’t want to take on replacing an egress window well. Concrete people said they were not comfortable drilling rebar into a 75-year-old garage slab. Greg was able to do all of this! His crew was able to relocate a large stone step used in the old patio and integrate it into a new extension of the newpatio. Greg’s crew was able to masterfully cut the replacement pavers tightly around the existing pergola posts, I was really impressed! The concrete slab was poured within the frame of an existing low-height retaining wall, but the edges were dug out deep enough below the ground for structural support of the future 3-season porch. We needed a railing around the egress well, and while such work is outside the scope of what he would do, Greg referred us to a metal smith who built for us a new railing and metal ladder into the well."

"The Letendre crew did a great job. They showed up on time, made quick work of removing the existing asphalt and poured the new concrete apron within a few hours of work."

"They came in the morning tore up the asphalt driveway. Same day they laid out the driveway and poured the concrete. Cleaned up afterwards. Came back the next day to install joints and pressure washed the driveway."

He seemed knowledgeable and business like so I hired him. When his crew came to do the work, he introduced me to the workers who would be doing the actual installation including one of his sons. He made sure when the introductions were made; his son gave me a good firm handshake and looked me straight in the eye. As the mother of four children I was impressed with the way Jon was teaching business communication skills to his child.

My property in Minnetonka is built on soil that has a large clay component. This factor has caused many problems for homeowners in my area because the instability of the land. Pietig and Sons carefully prepared the underlying surface. Within a year, two small sections were not weathering well and had cracked. Jon came to take a look, determined that what was happening was unacceptable and not up to his standards. He replaced them – at no cost to me.

The person doing the replacement work did a masterful job of removing the damaged sections, properly preparing the area and then calling for a cement mixer truck delivery when he was ready to install the concrete. When the large truck arrived he carefully used a wheelbarrow to deliver the concrete to the area and carefully blended the sections together. All seemed perfect.

Something strange happened within a few years. The sections that had been replaced were not holding up well. A concrete company, doing work for another homeowner in my area, came to take a look. He admired the work that had been done and complimented the skill of the craftsman who had done the job. Then he asked a question. He inquired about the concrete supplier and asked if I remembered the name on the truck that had delivered the product? He then proceeded to tell me a story that was the basis for his question and explained what he was sure was happening.

He told me he had once been a foreman on a huge concrete product for a hotel parking lot. Several years after the installation of the lot, the concrete began to chip and flake. The hotel’s attorneys filed a lawsuit against his company to recover the money they had paid him. They claimed the work he had done was inferior. He had worked h****** that project, was proud of the work he had done and was personally devastated because his skill and honesty had been called into question. After a lengthy investigation, it was determined shale had been added to the concrete mix delivered for his project. This had caused the driveway to “pop” and disintegrate. Claims and damages filed against the supplier were eventually settled and his work was vindicated. Sure enough, it was the same large concrete supplier that had delivered the product to my home. Shale “pops” were also evident in those two apron sections that had been replaced.

Even though those sections had already been replaced once, when Jon reviewed some photos I sent to him and heard the story about the other company’s experience, he said, “We will replace those sections again. It is the morally correct thing to do – I stand by my work.” He was also gracious enough to say that because the cement supply contractor was so large, it is not always possible to monitor every worker and batch of concrete mix. He realized that even in the finest companies, bad things could happen. What separates Jon’s thinking from others is his resolve to take responsibility and do right by his clients. If only his ethical standards could be taught to every business owner and to every business student!

So, fellow homeowner, if you are considering having any concrete work done at your home or business, I’d like to recommend Harold Pietig and Sons. This is a company that isn’t satisfied until the customer is completely satisfied. From the admirable way Jon chooses to pass along life lessons to his sons to the ethical way in which he treats his customers, I cannot recommend this company highly enough. I feel so fortunate to have hired Harold Pietig and Sons to do work at my home. This is a company that stands by its work and takes moral responsibility for running a business with the greatest integrity.

"Kyle did an excellent job installing a concrete patio for us. He provided a quote quickly and was very responsive throughout the entire process. Our yard has a challenging slope to it and the project took a little longer than estimated, but Kyle kept us informed every step of the way and was able to modify the original design to ensure proper drainage and maximum space. You can tell he takes pride in his work by his attention to detail. He and his crew were great to work with, professional, and respectful of our neighbors' property."

"We hired Tony and his crew from Form and Pour Cement Works and couldn't be happier. When my wife and I moved into our home, we quickly discovered some major drainage issues that needed to be addressed right away. Tony and his team regraded and pour a new cement patio, front sidewalk and steps to our entryway, and replaced the first 12 feet of slab in front of our garage. We were impressed with Tony's hardwork-ethic, skill, and craftsman ship, as well as the speed of their work. We now have all of our water grading issues accounted for and will be able to enjoy our new concrete work for years to come. We highly recommend Form and Pour Concrete Works! You won't be disappointed."

"Seth responded in a timely manner, proposed several ways of solving the problem, and offered additional suggestions to help with the drainage around the stairwell, which was the source of the original damage. He was willing to look at the project holistically, and knowledgable on all aspects of the job. Many concrete companies will limit their involvement to only the concrete work itself, but most projects are rarely so clear cut. We had a portion of the wall rebuilt with new block, new rebar, and a finish parge coat. Railings were removed and reinstalled. The grade was modified using new fill, new river rock and edging."

"I called several firms to get quotes on the repair and was surprised by the difference in prices quoted and in one case the scope of work to be performed. Most said that the cement crown and top 3-4 courses of brick would need replaced, one said the chimney would need to be taken down to the roof level which just didn't make sense as the damage was clearly only on the top. Joe was very prompt in scheduling a visit and by the time I met with him I'd already spoken with the other firms so I had a pretty good idea of the work that needed to be done. I liked the fact that he focused on what *needed* to be done rather than what was possible--I was getting these bids because I didn't know what needed to be done and wanted professional advice. Joe provided a clear scope of work and I was confident in his ability to do it properly. The fact that his bid was several hundred less than the others led me to believe that the others were charging more than necessary. Joe was good with communication about when the job would start (3-4 weeks out from my acceptance of his bid), and good with keeping me posted as they got closer to being ready to do the job. The crew showed up within the timeframe Joe said they would, and quickly set up their scaffolding and tarps on the roof around the chimney. After an afternoon's work they had the old materials removed down to the sound masonry and the new masonry and stone drip cap installed. The chimney was properly covered against the rain we got that night. The next morning the crew was back to put on the concrete crown and clean up including washing the chimney. The chimney was again covered as there was the possibility of rain. The following morning the crew was back to remove the covering, scaffolding and do a final cleaning. Each member of the crew was good natured and polite & it seemed to me that they had a good working relationship with each other. Nothing worse than having a bad feeling about the folks doing work for you and in this case there was none of that, these guys were pros and a pleasure to have working on our home. All of the work was just as Joe initially described it. They did end up taking off more brick than originally estimated, so the final cost was $150 over the bid. While I kept an eye on the progress, I didn't realize they'd done more than planned so was a little skeptical when Joe told that there would be an additional charge. Upon inspection I could clearly see what they'd done and I was happy to pay the small additional charge given that they did what was necessary to do a first class job. While I would normally expect to be notified in advance if the bid is to be exceeded, in this case the overage was modest and the work very good so I didn't have an issue with it. The final cost was still hundreds less than the next bid. Overall my wife and I were extremely pleased with Joe, his crew, and the work they did. We would have no hesitation recommending Metro Chimney and Masonry to any of our neighbors. Joe does great work at a fair price and provided a 3 year warranty on the work performed."
