This company is the best! I was impressed from the beginning with how clear they were in the quote on what exactly was to be done, so there were no surprises. Everyone on the crew was courteous and professional. The work was completed ahead of schedule.

This is the company to go to for anything related to basements. Our basement walls were bowing and we were getting water in the basement. They installed steel beams to stop the movement of the walls and put in a drainage system. They were great to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the quality of the work. They saved the value of our home!

From the initial phase of resurfacing a crack, and putting down some drainage hose, the project was filled with abnormalities. 1. Estimate off 100 percent 2. First people sent were not knowledgeable and this fact was known to the owner. 3. No communication at all. We handled the communication. 4. Work went unfinished after we PAID the bill. Interesting, because the owner was supposed to handle it. Zero communication again after several attempts.
Description of Work: We contacted Behncke Construction from a past project that went extremely well. However, new ownership (same name) provided us with an awful experience.

Hi [Member Name Removed], Sorry this is the first Im seeing this review or of hearing that you aren't satisfied since you paid us. We don't expect unhappy customers to pay us, so Im not sure at what point you were unhappy. I would still like you to be satisfied. Is your basement leak still leaking? What is wrong with the drain tile? We are required by the city to not drain downspouts directly into neighboring foundations, we cant change that rule if that's what you are referring to. Here is our office phone number 563-332-6045. Thanks! Joe

Behncke has completed a half dozen jobs for me in the past. The work team walked through the area double checking the jobs that needed to be done. They covered the ground where they would be working so when they finished, they left nothing behind except the fine work they did. They broke open the cracked areas of the stucco, and in most cases on the north, they were able to apply 1 layer of hand mixed concrete. The south and west sides had large patches of of cracked concrete. When they were removed, I could see the wall of the original wood house built 103 yrs. ago. The crew had to replace rusty wire; they filled the areas with several layers of concrete. Fortunately the weather was with them all 3 days. I like the way the guys worked together and kept me in the loop. They were on hourly wage, even so they worked quickly but carefully and deserved every hour of pay. I like Behncke Construction: small group of seasoned workers, reasonable rates for QUALITY work, and nothing left behind but a surface ready for siding. Over 35 yrs. I have always chosen smaller, local companies whose workers have been with the company for various lengths of time. Over the the long run, companies like Behncke Construction and their employees have improved my home and thus my neighborhood. I know the siding company will appreciate they can do quality work because the underlying surface was done with care. Hats off to another successful quality job completed by Behncke Construction, Inc.!

Joe arrived from Behncke within two days of my request for an estimate. He was polite and very professional. His quote was much below what I anticipated. They began work within a few days of me accepting the quote. The work crews were efficient and very courteous. They had the job completed within two days. They cleaned up after themselves. I only wish I had known about them years ago! It would have saved me so much grief over a leaking basement. I had an estimate several years ago that was over $10,000 and it involved extensive work. Behncke's estimate was better than reasonable and the work was top notch. I wholeheartedly recommend them.
Description of Work: Waterproofed my basement by putting in 54 feet of trench and sump pump; laying in drain pipes and then backfilling with gravel and new concrete.

I had a fantastic experience working with the Behncke team recently. They did some major work on our home. Our porch was sinking on our 1920's home and they raised the porch and leveled the footings. They also came in and tore out about 100 feet of concrete sidewalk. The bid was extremely fair, especially compared to others. The crew that did the work was extremely professional and pleasant. My wife works a lot from home and said they were always really great to her when at our home. Joe even went above and beyond, helping us with some additional clean up at the worksite. Excellent service. Looking forward to working with Behncke Construction again.
Description of Work: Removed 100 feet of sidewalk and disposed of remaining concrete. Also, leveled three main posts of a front porch that was sinking. Large 1920s home.

The construction workers tore up old concrete at the end of my driveway and replaced it with new concrete at a different lower angle so my car wouldn't drag on it. They replaced 3 sheets of sidewalk and the curb. These workers have done other jobs at my house under the owner's supervision. I have always found everyone to be courteous. Concrete work is weather dependent. The previous owner refused to overbook and have too many projects going at once. His crew completed the jobs though sometimes end dates were extended. I consider it professional when a company like Behncke Construction refuses to rush a job and thus lower the quality.

I met with Joe from Behncke Construction and I feel he really cared about our needs. I never felt pushed or pressured to buy anything, he treated the free estimate as an educational process. Instead of selling us on an entire waterproofing system he explained how a few minor repairs and a sump would solve our water problems. They were fast, professional and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Description of Work: Laird and his crew replaced the apron in front of my garage. It was too steep and my car would bottom out when going into the garage. After discussing shortly on the phone, Laird met me and took measurements. He also replaced an old floor drain in the garage. Within 48 hours I had a written quote. Within two weeks, the work was done and it would have been even quicker had it not rained for several days. | |This is the second time that I have worked with Behncke Construction on a project and both times I have been very happy with the results and the value received. Laird's communication style is minimalistic so be prepared for that but the work is top notch.

He came out and took a look for a very reasonable price. He appeared to be knowledgable and did not try to use the opportunity to sell a service. One of the drawbacks is the lack of electronic/written records. I have no problem with this, but it is a little out dated.
Description of Work: I had him come out to the house and inspect the foundation to determine if major work needed to be done
