"The concrete cracked within the first week of being poured and nobody came to fix it. Also beware when dealing with Mike as he will charge you extra $1,000 or probably more to finish the job he starts. Itâ s a common business practice by him as a lot of customers are mentioning the same thing from Yelp, Homeadvisor.com, and Google Reviews. Read the reviews before dealing with Dependable Concrete. As a contractor Mike should know the price of materials beforehand and before quoting the customers. Mike demanded $1,000 more because of the increase of the cement price. Cement shortages have been going on for months and Mike should have taken that into account before giving the quote. Cement shortages aren't recent news. He waited until he removed the old driveway and then as the shady businessman that he is â he demanded extra money to finish the job when I was left with a big hole around my house. Beware as this is common practice by Dependable concrete if you read the reviews. Cement shortages or not â the original quote should have accounted for that. As a customer I donâ t ask my contractor to refund me the money if the price of material goes down in the future. Mike should stick to his original quote and price, but he doesnâ t do that. Stay away from Dependable Concrete â bad business to deal with and very poor quality â concrete cracks within days and nobody will come fix it after they take the money from you."

Gregorio's Landscaping & Snow Plowing is a full service landscaping contractor serving many of Chicago's Northwest and West Suburbs, as well as much of Kane County and the rest of the greater Fox Valley area. We specialize in providing high quality commercial and residential landscape services.
"We are completely flabbergasted at the poor quality of work performed by Gregorio and his crew. He actually drew up a sketch of the sidewalk, 2 sets of steps, and patio to be installed, including measurements. The patio was supposed to be 18x20 , but I measured after completion and it was ACTUALLY 16x18 . Unfortunately, It only got worse from there. He poured concrete up to, and surrounding our electric service box. It will now need to be saw cut around the base to be pulled and replaced as we had planned. They installed a downspout drain under the sidewalk on the side of our house that was not properly graded and the PVC pipe froze and cracked as a result of their careless work. The real clincher is the 2 sets of steps they poured. Both sets look absolutely terrible. They have black fiber protruding from the steps and are rough and very ugly. I wanted to replace the steps for the aesthetic improvements and the end result has to be seen to be believed. The old steps actually looked better than what Gregorio did. We have had multiple concrete contractors look at the work and simply say wow this work is atrocious. I would have loved to give Gregorio a great review, but he simply did very poor work and more importantly, will not do ANYTHING to make it right. As an Honorably Discharged Veteran, I know the value of keeping your word, and doing the right thing. Shame on you Gregorio. You should stand behind your work. The good people of the world fix their mistakes, not make excuses for them. I would avoid this guy, I sure wish I had."

"With my husband and I being laid up from injury and being old, Cesar and his crew came in and did everything we could not do this spring. Landscaping, brick laying, gardening, laying stone and making special safe paths for us to walk. Cesar spent extra time on my mom's memory garden which needed so much work. This alone would have gotten them a 5 star review! He came highly recommended and it was tough to hand over the work to someone else when we are used to doing things ourselves. We are over the moon that it is done and my yard has never looked this beautiful. We are grateful, thankful and blessed to have found Cesar's landscaping. The price was fair, they worked non stop. They were here on time and on the day they scheduled. It's hard to find good decent people these days. Blessings to Cesar's and his crew"

A properly installed concrete slab can last anywhere from 30 to 100 years. Factors that impact its lifespan include timely repairs of cracks or breaks, local weather conditions, and the type of concrete used. Consulting with a local concrete contractor can give you a more accurate estimate based on your area's climate.
Concrete takes 26 to 30 days to cure to its full strength. After 24 to 48 hours, a 4-inch concrete slab is solid enough to walk on without leaving footprints. After seven days, it should be cured to at least 70% of its full strength. Proper curing is essential for the slab's durability and longevity.
Maintaining your concrete slab properly extends its life and keeps it looking its best. Regularly clean away dirt and debris, and promptly remove stains and spills like car oil or fertilizers. Avoid using harsh chemicals or de-icers that can damage the concrete. Keep heavy machinery and oversized vehicles off your driveway, and consider sealing your concrete to renew its appearance. Remember that while concrete is strong and durable, it isn't designed to support extremely heavy loads without proper reinforcement.
Choosing between a precast concrete slab and pouring concrete on-site depends on your project's size and location. Precast slabs are poured off-site and delivered ready to install, which can save time and ensure consistent quality. However, for larger areas or sites with access limitations, pouring concrete on-site may be more practical. Discuss your options with a local concrete contractor to determine the best choice for your project.
A concrete floor differs from a concrete slab in both its finish and function. A concrete floor is an indoor surface that is polished, coated, or stained for enhanced aesthetics and durability, while a concrete slab is an unfinished base designed to support structures such as sheds, garages, or patios. The finishing process adds visual appeal and protection for interior use, making it suitable for everyday living spaces. Each application is tailored to its intended environment and performance requirements.
When pouring a concrete slab, you must account for extra costs beyond the base price. Additional expenses include reinforcement additions, decorative enhancements like staining or stamping, drainage installation, and permit fees required by local regulations. These factors impact the overall project cost and should be discussed with a professional to ensure an accurate budget.
