Get matched with top concrete flatwork repair & resurface pros in Walnut-hill, IL

"They were responsive, returned calls, scheduled when it was convenient, showed up on time, did the work and cleaned up. It was expensive but it is worth it. The floor looks great, is easy to clean. No more crumbling pitted concrete."

"Working with Dave and his crew was an excellent experience. They provided top notch service and explanation of the process involved. Our garage floor had over 40 years of road salt and chemical from Illinois winters. The floor had a couple of large cracks and a significant area of pitting and wear from the limestone in the concrete being eaten away by the salt. The floor now looks like a masterpiece. We've already experienced a snow an the floor cleaned up wonderfully. I'd highly recommend Concrete Ink!!"

"These guys are fantastic! It's a family business, consisting of Eddie (the father) and two sons, plus one other employee. They are all honest, reliable and hard-working men. They were kind and thoughtful, and absolutely professional in the 1.5 weeks we dealt with them. At our request, they were particularly mindful of our cat, so that we could prevent his and quot;escapeand quot; during all of the entering and exiting required, while not confining him to a single room unless absolutely necessary. <br /> We called Eddie Ross Construction because we had made three previous attempts to address our damp basement problem, and instead of fixing it, the solutions other people offered culminated in making the issue much worse. <br /> 1. Water was flowing near our front door, leaving a wet ground spot that iced over in winter. So, water was re-routed to other side of house, which caused flooding in neighbor's drive (and made sump pump work too hard to push out water, so... <br /> 2. Second person called in to route water to street. They attached a pipe underground to do so, but strangely enough, no water ever came out other end. We found out this was because they used a perforated pipe (placed at the wrong angle), which cause ground to be perpetually wet a few inches below grass. Furthermore, the water was flowing back toward the house, so... <br /> 3. Third person came and suggested a dehumidifier to counteract the increasing damp we were experiencing. <br /> We were unaware what the ramifications of the above three procedures were, but we knew the problem was getting worse, not better, so we FINALLY found some true professionals. Enter Eddie Ross Construction. <br /> They did all of the work we listed in the and quot;Services Performedand quot; section of this review, all the while explaining why and how things had gone wrong before. In fact, it was because of these previous and quot;fixesand quot; that we needed so much rock fill, because the ground was so saturated, that whenever they would dig, the mud would collapse and they had to make the trench deeper! It was messy, hard work, but these guys were up to it. They even managed to save a favorite Rose of Sharon bush that was right in the midst of all this construction. Our front yard is small, and the location tight (on a busy highway), but they managed to get their heavy equipment in and out and maneuver it all like a well-choreographed dance. It was amazing to watch. <br /> These guys met challenges head-on and solved them quickly. One challenge was that they had to work with another group when it was discovered that our water meter needed to be moved and an underground pipe replaced. The two groups worked out logistics efficiently and helped each other to get it done. <br /> The next challenge was when the hot exhaust from the machinery melted a bit of our siding. This was a hazard that simply could not have been avoided, although it was unexpected, as the work site was extremely tight. The guys let us know right away about that problem, and immediately offered a solution to how they would fix it, which, of course, they did. You'd never know now that it had happened. <br /> Value-added service: <br /> - Added sturdy, stylish handrail per our request (which they procured) <br /> - Suggested a new mailbox to fit our sleek, new front-of-house look, which they procured for us and expertly attached to the house <br /> - When replacing long front sidewalk, suggested we align it with front door, instead of slightly off-center as the old one had been <br /> <br /> To sum up, these guys treated the job, and our home, as if it was their own. They took extra care to make sure everything was as perfect as it could be. We cannot praise them enough for their professionalism, and we finally have real solutions to the problems we had been dealing with. The basement is perfectly dry, the sump pump does not struggle to push water out, and the front of the house looks great! <br />"

"We asked Bob to build a 24'x14' deck and reuse the original footings of a deck we had torn off the previous year. He did a terrific job of creating a flat deck while managing our sloping yard. He added access stairs on both sides of the deck which makes navigating the yard so much easier. Bob said he was an experienced landscaper so we asked him about trimming our overgrown trees and improving access in the yard with a rock border. He designed it and laid in tons of rock by himself. We ended up with a very low maintenance yard as the rock rings the trees and makes mowing so much easier. We and our neighbors are loving the improvement the deck and rock border have brought to our yard. We will definitely call Bob again!"

"Ryan came over to give me an estimate and was really great. Another company had tried to upsell me and tell me I needed a whole new drain tile system, but Ryan, probably costing himself money, assured me that a new sump pump would solve the problem for a fraction of the cost. <br /> After that, communication was an issue. After I sent in my deposit, nobody got back to me about when the job would happen. Even after they cashed my check, I had to call three days later and get the information myself. And even then, I was just told a couple of days as a range. Every piece of information, be it getting the final estimate, booking the job, or getting the date for the job, I had to initiate contact every time. It was kind of like pulling teeth. <br /> When the crew did come, they worked Friday for about four hours and then left, saying they would finish the job Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. They didn't come back at all that weekend and none of my phone calls or messages were returned. It was extremely frustrating. I understand that things come up and appointments are missed, but to not call and let me know and make me wait around my house all weekend was totally unprofessional. <br /> However, when they did finally come back on Monday, they got the job done and it looked great. They did a very professional job and they worked their a**** off. I really appreciate that. The communication problems were frustrating, but the job itself, when completed, was excellent. <br /> <br />"

"<br /> QB Concrete gave me several different options and what the cost would be. It was my choice. My recommendation for this company is A+."

"I would like to start off with precise, warm welcome and highly responsible of what they are doing. They really know what they are doing and from start from start to end it has been a great project with new experiences and great craftsmanship. Thanks again guys and i hope to have more work for you soon... <br />"

"<p>We had been having problems with leaks in our sunken living room for quite a while. The leaks started last year and we had PermaSeal come out and do a "repair" which ended up not working. (The amount of water was reduced, but it still kept coming in, even after PermaSeal did a wrap seal of our foundation.) Frustrated, especially after PermaSeal did not guarantee their last job and wanted to charge us 1000s of dollars for a redo, we consulted with our neighbor across the street who had a similar problem that arose right when ours did. They said Safeguard had IDd and fixed their leak issue (same spot as ours) for a third of what PermaSeal charged, so we called Safeguard.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Phil from Safeguard came out very promptly (actually early! He asked permission to come a full 2 hours early if it was convenient for me, and I said yes). He looked at the area where we suspected the leak occurred and commented that PermaSeal (his former employer!) had done a poor job. He also remarked that the leak might not even be a foundation leak, but rather an above-grade leak like a mortar problem or chimney problem that was then dripping down behind the drywall. He conducted a series of tests using water from our hose to see where water might seep in depending on where the water was pointed. He did a "flood" test of the ground near the foundation---no leak. Then he pointed to some spots where there was missing caulk on our chimney seams, and said that the water could be getting in there instead. He had me go inside and look inside the fireplace while he trained the hose on these side seams, and BINGO! That's where the water was getting in. He found the exact leak location when PermaSeal could not (they just "guessed") Phil then said, "Well, we don't fix that since it's above-grade, so I recommend you contact a siding or chimney company to make those repairs. I'm not going to sell you something that won't fix the real problem just to make my commission."</p> <p>Phil spent nearly 2 hours identifying the true source of our water problem, even when it would not benefit him or his company. Very honest and decent guy, and we WILL use this company when we do have a foundation problem. Great!</p> <br />"

"<p>Just wanted to drop a line or two and let you all know how impressed we were with both your workmen and their work.  In today's society, you just don't find companies that really do a great job, they usually just do enough to "get by".<br /> <br /><br /> <br />At times, without their knowledge, I was home and could hear some of the men talking.  Much to my surprise, their language and subject matter were always appropriate.  Don't find that much in the labor force today!  It spoke volumes to me.  When they did speak with us, they were always very kind and informative.<br /> <br /></p> <p>The work that was performed consisted of excavating the dirt to gain access to the footings on both sides of the foundation.  On the inside, they had to bust out the concrete floor and hand dig to the footing in order to install their brackets for the "unified lift system".  After installing the brackets, they attached special hydraulic equipment to the brackets which drove 3" diameter<br /> <br />pipes down to bedrock.  Next, they attached a hydraulic jacking system to each pier location.  Using their special vehicle with a unique hydraulic pumping system they attached hydraulic lines to each location and were able to do a controlled lift.  From what we understand, your company is one of the only ones that can perform this "unified lift".<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />We were taking pictures daily and emailing them out to family and friends who could not believe their eyes!  They started out making our basement look like a bomb went off and when they were done it was swept and looking very nice!<br /> <br /><br /> <br />All this to say that the work done was absolutely astonishing!  We will highly recommend EHM to everyone that we hear may need this type of work completed.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Thanks so much again.  We were dreading having this work completed, but you all made it so much nicer by your<br /> <br />expertise, kindness, and professionalism.</p> <p>Mike and Cheryl <br /> <br /></p> <br />"

"Provider was prompt, professional and friendly.  Arrived at the agreed upon time for a free estimate and performed work same-day after we agreed to the price.  He stuck to the price despite taking longer than expected and more work than usual due to worn-rusted pipes in my home.  Cleaned-up after himself and left no sign that work was done other than our new, working toilets.  We are very pleased and reccomend McDonagh & Sons Plumbing & Sewer Inc. <br /> <br /> <br />"
