Concrete By Sennstrom

Great - Tom explained the process, and they completed it on one day - came back to remove the forms after the concrete had cured. Looks fabulous, and done correctly - original stoop did not have rebar in it. Competitive pricing for complete replacement.

Never received a callback on the project. Guess they’re too busy to reply. I can tell you that if I didn’t return my clients calls I know exactly what they would do

Did very well in tight space with equipment. And had to wheelbarrow concrete to elevated stoop area, Very courteous. Two day project.

Everything went great. They've been doing good work for years and take pride in their quality. Crew was friendly and hard working.

Excellent. The whole process (estimate, scheduling, purchase of permit, and finally the work) went very smoothly. We're very pleased with the work he and his team did.

It went extremely well! you get what you pay for.

The project went very well. Tom's team arrived as scheduled and worked through the project without delay until completed. They were very professional and easy to work with.

They did an excellent job removing 2 layers of old concrete and installing a stamped concrete patio that looks great!

The project went very smoothly and in a very timely manner. Tom Sennstrom and his team were easy to work with and flexible. They were also clear on what the cost would be so there were no surprises. The work area was cleaned up every day and kept safe. All in all a good experience. The finished product looks great.

Very responsive. Worked with us to design what needed to be done. Was very cooperative when we changed the scope of the work. The work was done exactly when projected. The quality of the work was excellent. We will definitely be using Sennstrom when we re-do the driveway from blacktop to cement.

It went very well. We requested a quote very late in the construction season. Other contractors had already told us they were booked for the rest of the year and couldn't help us. We were unsure of exactly what we wanted, but were looking for a stamped and stained concrete patio. When Tom came out to give us a quote he was able to suggest a size and layout that worked for our space. It also turned out that he had an opening the following week. I believe we received his written quote by that afternoon, and then he showed up the following week to start work as promised. His team was very professional and gave me updates as needed. I was originally told that it was a two day project, but with some rain it was just a little longer. All in all, the project was done and sealed in less than a week. It looks amazing! Numerous neighbors have commented on how much they like it. I was pleased with how smoothly the project went and how quickly it was finished.

Excellent work. Tom and his team were professional, courtesy and helpful at every step. I had seen other Angie's List reviews about them and also had noticed other jobs by Sennstrom in my neighborhood, so I was confident that the work would be high quality and professional. These guys are the real deal -- they do excellent work and we are glad we hired them.

Showed up as promised. Got it done without delay.

Tom responded in a timely manner to all email questions and followed up several times to make sure progress was being made on obtaining the permit. I have recommend Concrete By Sennstrom to 2 neighbors already.

It went well, no surprises, it looked really good and still looks great now. Very god quality. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

Owner very responsive and his crew did a prodfessional job from start to finish.

Arrived on schedule and did a very professional job.

I first contacted Tom Sennstrom in May for an estimate. Tom gave us the estimate within 2 days by e-mail, it included doing the job in regular concrete and exposed aggregate. Over the next six weeks we received other estimates for doing the job in brick pavers or possibly a combination of brick pavers and exposed aggregate. Tom contacted me several times to see if we had made a decision for the work. We decided at the end of July to go with Tom, after seeing the same type of job he had done in Downers Grove. Tom said they would be out about 2 and1/2 weeks after they received the deposit. Toms' crew was there exactly on time. The foreman explained what they would do every day and answered any questions I had. Tom Sennstrom was at the job every day also. Tom even worked the days the concrete was poured, smoothing the concrete right along with his crew. The team of workers at Sennstrom is fantastic, they arrive on time and stay until the work they said would be finished, was finished. I would highly recommend Concrete by Sennstrom for any concrete work. I would definitely use them again. I have had several people comment on how nice the job they did looks, and one neighbor hired them to do their drive and patio.

They did a good job! They were on time and on budget.

If you need concrete this is absolutely the man to call. He has been in the business for over 40 years and has crew members he has had for 30 years. Crews don't hang around that long unless they like what they do and who they do it for. Sennstrom's crews are outstanding - they take great pride in their work and will keep at it until it is absolutely correct & their attention to detail is unsurpassed. The crew is very professional and knowledgeable and keeps a very clean worksite. It is a bit like watching a well-designed machine watching the team go to work. Everyone knows when and where they need to be without much discussion - they just have it down. The work is both an art and a science that they have mastered. Tom is a very open, honest and accessible owner who will absolutely make sure it is all done right. On a rainy day when other contractors may have poured the driveway anyway, or just not shown up, Tom notified me first thing - 8am that the chance of rain that day was too great to pour. And he still loves what he does as much as the crew and comes out to join them on the pour days. Sennstrom is not the cheapest but his price is dead on when you see his work. You get what you pay for in this profession and he is very well worth it! Residential, commercial - he can do it all. An absolute would refer anyone who wants a first class job and would definitely use again!! It is an amazing team. Jenn H see

Went great! I reached out to Tom Sennstrom via email for an initial budget. His response was quick and the budget was issued in PDF format and included plenty of information for included construction scope. After dialing in a few alternate pricing options, we agreed upon the proposed scope and work was scheduled. There was about a 3 week lag between signing the proposal and work beginning. This allowed for the 1 1/2 week permit submittal and review. Total construction time from demolition of existing pavement to stripping concrete forms was ~5 days. We were able to drive on the new pavement within 5 days' curing.

Tom provided a new concrete driveway, walkway to the front door, and apron. Work took about 3 days, each night materials was left neatly on driveway, and all debris was removed. Result is excellent and we were very pleased with work.

Driveway is in good condition but a major crack appeared the next spring in the sidewalk to the front entrance. Mr Sennstrom looked at the situation. He made no promises but said something might be done if a concrete truck was in the area. That was almost a year and a half ago. My old sidewalk was as old as the house but was in excellent condition when it was replaced. I am unhappy with the replacement that I now have.

Tom was prompt in returning my initial inquiries. We arranged a time to meet and discuss the job. I knew this would be a lot of work. The quote was received in a timely manner. Tom helped lay out the pros and cons to various stamp patters. He also provided some much needed advise on color choices. I was very grateful for that help. Tom kept us informed as to the scheduled start date. When the job started, Tom was there every step of the way. Tom or his foreman made us aware of what would be happening next and what to expect. This was really nice, it was a big job and a major impact on my household.

Tom was prompt in returning my initial inquiries. We arranged a time to meet and discuss the job. I knew this would be a lot of work. The asphalt driveway wasn't in very good shape and the patio was worse. The house is situated on an hill and storm water drainage was a major concern for my wife and myself. Before even mentioning my concern, Tom was talking about how to handle the storm water drainage. +1 for Tom. Tom gave valuable input as to how he would reconfigure the patio; enlarging it, adding a walk into the backyard and a new pad for the air conditioner. For the front walk; there were two approaches to the front door. Neither approach made much sense and both were removed and replaced with one walk that followed the path that most people naturally took to the front door. These were just a couple examples of the suggestions that Tom made that really add to the overall satisfaction with the work done. Tom kept us informed as to the scheduled start date.
