Get matched with top concrete sawing or removers in Rosalia, KS

"Dan and his crew did an incredible job and were very kind as well. My concrete patio looks incredible and was done in one day! Highly recommend!"

"Great! Very pleased w/ the result. Plus, the crew did extra work e.g. installing a gutter downspout PVC extension pipe underneath a new concrete sidewalk slab. Plus new soil around the edges of the driveway, patio and retaining wall."

"I used Foundation One to lift my drive way in my recently purchased house. It had sunken enough that I was unable to pull into the garage. Josh and his partner came out for two days and lifted the concrete of the driveway, the sidewalk, and the porch and now it looks great. It was a good price too. I would recommend them in the future."

"Showed up, did work at what seemed a reasonable price.  Waiting for first thaw and/or major rain to test work done in repairing leak in basement wall.
"

"Went very well.  Received bid on a Friday, work was started on the next Tuesday and completed in three business days.  Installed one pier between garage doors on the inside of garage so concrete patch was in garage floor and not in nearly new driveway.  Others had bid cutting driveway.  kept mes to a minimum and cleaned site up very well.

"John gave me what I thought was a decent estimate that was in line with everyone else. He gave me a date for the work to be completed, but they didnt arrive on that date. On that they that they didn't arrive, I had cancelled an appointment to stay home that morning. When I called him, he was in Iowa working at his other location. When I let him know that I had cancelled an appointment to be here for the work, he said "Did we inconvenience you?" in an unfriendly tone. The crew came to do the work on a weekend. John is not a good communicator at all. John had told me that he was going to resurface the floor. I did not understand what that meant and assumed it was putting in new concrete because he did not explain it. I saw that the crew was just chopping up the floor and going to fill in the cracks. When I stopped them and contacted John, he said he had it noted down as resurfacing. When I explained to him that the he did not explain what resurfacing meant to me, he got upset and said I had to pay more. He first said the job would cost an extra $800. When I declined it, he offered the work to be done at an extra $400. After the job was complete, it was done nicely. When I advised him how many companies on Angie's List offer discounts to members, I asked what type of discount he offered. He said that he would add some decorations to the sidewalk and that was done. Also, when I saw that dirt needed to be replaced in the trenched along each side of the driveway and sidewalk, he said I would need to call someone else. I had to pay another contaractor $300 for the dirt to be filled after they finished the driveway and sidewalk. The work took three days and he only stopped by once to oversee the job and that was when we had the arguement over the garage floor. The product and quality of service was good, but the communication was bad. The workers did a good job and they worked hard. However, I would not recommend this company to someone else as I felt that dealing with John was not appropriate. He didn't offer good customer service in what I see in terms of what I feel is appropriate customer service for what a person would normally expect.

A different service provider had run a camera line through our sewer line showing a partial blockage and also showing that a large section of the cast iron pipe had rotted out (wasn't there any more).  

That provider offered to replace the line the traditional way by jackhammering out a trench the length of the basement and digging out the existing line.

 

Surely,  there was a better way.    Internet research told me that it was possible to do this repair without digging up the floor.   However,  it wasn't until I contacted the manufacturer of the equipment used for the process that I was able to locate a local service provider.   

 

The folks "at the factory" told me to contact Chris Sandmoen at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Kansas City.   I placed the call immediately and it was smooth sailing from then on.    Chris came out and verified that they could do the job with minimal disruption to my basement or the stuff we have stored in it.   The price was about the same as the traditional method and it could be done quickly.    Sounded too good to be true, so we agreed to the job.

On the agreed date,  Chris and Tommy came out and started the process.    First,  they ran a camera through the line, verifying the conditions detected by the first provider.   They rigged up a hook and using the camera and hook,  fished out the foreign object that caused all of the trouble.   Then they spent the rest of day one thoroughly cleaning out the line.   On day two,  they installed a new liner inside the existing pipe.    Most of the time involved is arrangement of equipment, and materials.   The actual installation takes place in just a few seconds.    Then after a few hours of curing,  there is a new smooth walled plastic pipe inside the old line.   The new liner even covered the parts where the existing pipe had rotted away.   In our case,  installation of the new pipe closed off the connections where lateral pipes met the main line.   After the new liner had cured (hardened),  Chris and Tommy had to run cutters to reinstate the openings to the lateral lines.   Again,  this process took more time than the actual installation of the new liner itself.

The job ended up being slightly more difficult than planned,  so the total elapsed time was two and a half days rather than two days.    And there was NO digging and NO jackhammering and NO concrete dust.   We were without use of "the facilities" for only a couple of hours twice during the whole period. 

 

While they were here,  I had Chris take out a rotted floor drain.   That did require cutting the floor,  but Chris made the cuts using an electric wet saw which did not cause any cement dust.   I was impressed at how well that worked out.

 

Am I happy?   You bet I am.    What I first feared would be a job from H*** turned out to be a minor inconvenience.    I thought the cost was reasonable and the people involved (including Kathy in the office) were just great to work with.

"One thing Shawn arranges for is to have a lady come in and clean/dust everything after they are done with dry wall sanding and such. That was a nice bonus.  He also found a spectacular carpet cleaner guy to get out stains and wax tracked in on carpeting. Carpet still looks great!

Shawn has a helper named Mike, and Mike is a hard worker. Mike shows up on time, and works as long as he has to without complaining. Shawn does have sub contractors for dry wall and painting.  His painter (Melbin) does an awesome job, but some of the guys that help Melbin are rather sloppy, leaving paint in sinks and splatters on counters.  Shawn made sure it was all taken care of later on though.  Shawn's dry wall guy (Carlos) knows how to get the job done pretty well, but wasn't very conscientious about making sure surfaces were protected (like floors, carpets, etc) from the dry wall compound, and he dumped the waste down in the street sewer- a big "no-no."
  I agree with another reviewer that stated Shawn seems to have a lot of things suddenly "come up" and seems to have too many "irons in the fire." There were several times when Shawn didn't show up when he said he would. Sometimes we would be contacted as to why, other times not.  I think this is common among contractors, unfortunately. They seem to have a whole different concept of time.

Shawn finished the job within a week of our deadline. We had some unexpected add-ons that understandably lengthened the job. "

"Took him eight hours and had to dig yard up by hand. Stayed until the job was done."

"Matt inspected our property for new damages. It had previously had foundation repair and waterproofing services performed by a different company but we were getting ready to put it on the market. Matt gave us an honest assessment and his recommendation for replacement of our front steps even though we weren’t a good candidate for his services at this time. 10/10 would recommend!"
