I cannot say enough good things about Ted Van Midde, their crew and their work at my home in Terra Linda. They completed re-graded my entire back yard, removing and demolished old patios and a deck, rocks, plants in the process and everything was done so carefully and cleanly I hardly knew they were there- and we have huge plate glass windows spanning the entire length of our house so demo was a big concern. My landscape architect laid out a very challenging system of pavers of varying lengths, requiring extreme attention to detail and actual artistry from their forming team. They got it all laid out perfectly and when they had questions they consulted me and together we decided on what was best. And when I had a question they ALWAYS responded quickly, in a few occasions proactively called me to ask what I wanted or to discuss next steps. I can be a very fussy customer but their team could not have been more friendly, patient and professional. They were incredibly trustworthy and I felt very comfortable giving them access to my yard when I was away. And the price of their work was right in my budget, which was a relief! In short, they are my go-to guys for my next project and they should be yours.
Description of Work: Van Midde and Sons completely demolished and re-graded my entire back yard. They then laid compacted gravel with weed fabric as a base and poured a series of concrete pavers that required great attention to detail.

Tremendous work, fully quality, total professionals. Clear communication. Estimate in writing. They even talked us out of doing it the more expensive excessive way. Their way was better, done great. Had about a third of our San Francisco sidewalk cracked and damaged by tree roots over the years. After gathering several bidders, hired Van Midde and fully recommend them without a doubt!

Description of Work: The contract was to replace the concrete in my driveway and carport, necessitating the removal of extensive tree roots. The company owner came out to assess what the job would entail and give me a price. Though the price was the highest of the bids I had for the job, this company responded to phone calls and showed up pretty close to the estimated times to follow through. This company also has a long history in the area and provided addresses of prior similar jobs which I could view (and did_). The work was most competently executed, and within the time frame expected. The color was a bit darker than I anticipated and did not lighten up as much as I thought it would as it dried, but it looks fine. The only precaution I would take if using them again for another job (and I might) would be to ask that they protect the house siding when pressure washing the final surface to prevent paint chipping.

They were just fine. It was what it is. They were prompt, and professional. I was on the board of my home owners association, and that is why I used them. They showed up when they were supposed to. I made it very clear to them that we were only getting quotes. They got the quotes as they were supposed to. I sent them a thank you not as well. I am an interior designer by trade and so I use reputable vendors for my clients.

Response from Van Midde & Son Concrete
Thanks you [member name removed] for your constructive criticism of our company. After looking into your complaint I have tracked down what happened. Tragically my employee whom your wife initially had an appointment with, needed to cancel because he was with his father whom passed away the day of your appointment. He was able to spend the last day of his fathers life with him and other members of his family. He did schedule another appointment with your wife after taking a week off to grieve. I hope you look into these details which were published in the local paper and you will see that indeed this is what happened on the first day of your appointment. Emails were not disregarded nor were phone calls. I was gone myself on a much needed vacation with my wife of 30 years last week. I said I would look into it and I did. Communication could have been better, I agree. My employee actually called 6 different customers the same day he called your wife to reschedule, from the hospital. The other 5 customers were fine with waiting, you seem to have taken upon yourself to declare war upon my company with your multiple emails to Angieslist. After explaining to my employee that you had criticized my company he felt that it would be better not giving a proposal to such a spiteful person. I apologize for not getting your bid done on time, but under the circumstances it seems understandable that an employee whom had just lost his father be given some time to grieve. If you feel that your comments should stand in your previous posts then so be it. Under the circumstances I don't think we could have done much differently, given these facts. I stand by my employees judgement on this case. My employee did say that your wife was very courteous to him and he had nothing but nice things to say about her. It doesn't seem that he ever did meet you. Perhaps you could return our calls to you and set up a time to talk about this matter rather than sending out derogatory emails. Sometimes a little face to face talking can clear up matters better then emails. Thanks, Ted Van Midde lll. President, Van Midde & Son.

They were on time, very detailed during our first meeting, explaining what needed to be done. They were also excellent in pointing out some other things that could be done, without a hard sell approach. I appreciated their proactive, easy to work with approach. I ended up not doing the job because of other reasons having nothing to do with Van Midde, and so I can't be sure how competitive their pricing proposal was.

It took them over a week to return my call. They did not come out and look at the project for another week. They promised that they would have the quote to us within two days and that took another week. When we called to ask questions regarding the quote we were told the quote is the quote - take it or leave it.

Response from Van Midde & Son Concrete
Hi Member, I read your report and I was sorry to hear that we could not satisfy your need for a quote on time. We try to call people back within 24 hours. I don't have the records of your particular message but it was probably not a week. My salesman Scott made it out to your home and spent hours reviewing the job with you and your husband. The pool patio was the main job focus which represented $37k, the driveway was $8.8k and walkways on the side of the house were $7.4k. It is a nice job and we knew you had gotten another quote which did not include everything that we did. We don't tell people that is the price take it or leave it. The other price you got was lower, but he did not include the driveway area and no drainage was included either. When the estimate was emailed we heard from you after we called to see if you got it, or after your inquiry on its whereabouts that it gone to your Spam folder. Sorry that happened. I apologize for any thing that you think our firm did wrong. We try to satisfy all our customers. We would never have said your bid would be ready in 2 days. Looking at the file Scott had 5 pages of notes and calculations that he worked out. A lot of time and effort was put into your bid. Thanks for the feedback we will use it to make our company better. Good luck with your project. Ted Van Midde lll, president Van Midde & Son Concrete.

I just did.
Description of Work: Removed old, cracked driveway and a concrete planter base. Poured new concrete driveway and repaired some concrete on our patio. As there were a few small problems with the initial work, one of the less experienced members of the firm was sent over to correct the problems, but he was not really qualified to handle the repair/adjustments on his own. In other words, he wasn't properly supervised. These problems were eventually resolved, but it left a bit of a bad taste in our mouths that parts of the job were turned over to less than qualified persons. Anyway, very personable staff and excellent work. Very attractive new driveway.

I have a rented house and the entire driveway looked like Grand Tetons and we replaced all of that. They did an excellent job. They cleaned up everything. They were extremely professional. The man who came to give the quote was very helpful and saved a lot of my money. I would be happy to recommend them. They were completely, entirely honest. They were little cheap than other estimates that I had. They were just really incredible. I would not be without answers.

Description of Work: VM excavated and rebuilt our long driveway (poured concrete), built a 30 ft. long wooden retaining wall, and built some very large concrete planters. They worked well with our designer to execute the trickier aspects of the job. The quality of the work was very high and we were very pleased. There were a couple of significant overages on a couple of aspects of the job; I checked with a friend in the trades who knows this business and he said they were fair, given the uncertainty that was inherent in some work. Wasn't happy about paying more but given the quality of the work, it went down a little easier.

Overall, excellent. Ted Van Midde and his team were extremely diligent and considerate during the month long construction project. A new sewer pipe needed to be rerouted. Instead of charging additional fees for every unforeseen problem, Ted included the "minor" issues into the overall estimate and provided us with a very fair price and outstanding service. Also, we needed Ted was very helpful when we needed his assistance several years later. Overall, when we select a vendor for construction, we seek fairness, quality workmanship, honor, reliability, and support. Ted Van Midde fulfilled all of these criteria. In retrospect, I would have consulted a landscape architect to address for additional insight regarding possible design options. The staircase and pathways which incorporate a stain are frequently praised by other trades professionals for the beauty and artistry of the hardscape.
Description of Work: Excavation, grading, and pouring of pathways, stairs, and a retaining wall on a hillside. The job involved anchoring the stairway to the underlying hillside and incorporated graded curves into the pathway. This particular project highlighted the combination of technical skill, creative artistry, and workmanship to achieve the desired aesthetic beauty and practical benefits of the job.
