"Way too expensive. Does not give any details, makes you chase after to get information. I do feel very taken advantage of. Got other opinions that said the job could have been done for half the price."

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."

The installation process for a concrete basement floor spans several days to weeks, depending on project scope. Preparation work includes removing existing flooring, creating proper drainage, and establishing a suitable base. The concrete itself requires adequate curing time before finishing treatments can be applied. Weather conditions, basement accessibility, and chosen finish types all influence the overall timeline.
Concrete slabs are constructed at ground level as part of a foundation system, while basement floors are installed below grade within an existing foundation structure. Basement installations often require additional moisture control measures due to their subterranean environment. Both utilize similar materials, but basement floors frequently need specialized preparation to address ground moisture issues and integration with existing foundation walls.
While some preparatory aspects might be manageable for experienced DIYers, concrete basement floor installation requires professional expertise. The process involves precise measurements, proper reinforcement placement, and skilled finishing techniques. Errors in mixing, pouring, or curing can lead to significant structural problems. Most homeowners find that professional installation, though more expensive initially, provides better long-term value and performance.
Proper maintenance includes regular sweeping and occasional mopping with appropriate cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage sealants or concrete surfaces. Address spills promptly to prevent staining. Inspect periodically for cracks or signs of moisture problems. Reapply sealants according to product specifications to maintain moisture resistance. Controlling basement humidity helps preserve the floor's condition over time.
A properly installed concrete basement floor can improve moisture management when incorporated with appropriate waterproofing measures. Vapor barriers, drainage systems, and quality sealants all contribute to moisture control. However, concrete alone cannot resolve serious foundation water issues or hydrostatic pressure problems. Comprehensive waterproofing approaches that address exterior drainage, foundation walls, and interior systems provide the best results for persistent moisture concerns.
