Tmw Enterprises Paving & Maintenance

Tyrone was easy to meet up with and work with. He gave me estimates a the driveway as well as a new patio and walkways. We decided to do something else for the walkways and patio. He was available through email as I was going through the different options. He responded in a timely manner and professional in his responses.

I first contacted TMW on 9-16-13 via email. Tyrone called me back and we proceeded to play phone tag for a couple of weeks. We spoke and I told him I was looking for a price on a concrete service walk along the side of my house as well as a patio stoop. I had recently had major work done on my house and this was one of the last things that needed to be done. Tyrone mentioned that they were booked for the remainder of 2013 since the weather was turning cooler. He could give me a 2014 price. I told him I would still like the price because I needed this job done by spring next year to pass my final inspection on the prior construction project. He came out to my house the day we spoke, which was a Friday. On Monday I had the price. A couple of weeks later I called and said I'd like to get in the schedule for 2014. At that point he mentioned he might be able to squeeze me in yet this year. I was hopeful but yet pessimistic. Getting this job done after the muddy mess left from the construction job would be great! He promptly (11-8-13) came by and picked up the signed contract and the plat of survey to take it to the village to get a permit. That was an extra cost ($105 total) but that was fine with me. By 11-15-13 he had the permit. On 11-19-13 they poured the concrete. I'm very happy with Tyrone and this entire process. I would use them again in the future.

Tyrone came out and gave us a good price to replace our asphalt driveway with concrete. His was not the absolute lowest price wise but it was one of the lower quotes. He came out and personally discussed the estimate with us and what he recommend that we consider doing. We were comfortable with his significant knowledge and experience right away. We got caught up in the Naperville heavy rains that summer and that slowed us down in getting the job scheduled. When we were ready to go he had a full list of jobs ahead of us but worked with me to schedule the work around some surgery that I was scheduling. The work was done just two days before Halloween, another time of heavy rains. Tyrone came out personally in the heavy rain to remove the forms and stakes so that we didn't have to worry about any of the kids getting injured Halloween night. My wife is tough to please but she was very pleased with Tyrone's customer service.

Tyrone did beautiful work. He did stamped concrete for my walk and drive. It was a big job. He was competitively priced. I would whole-heartedly recommend TMW to anyone for stamped concrete.

Removed and replaced sidewalk from front door to main street sidewalk and removed and replaced concrete pad area in front of garage apron. Front side walk could have been slanted a little bit more to direct rain away from foundation. The concrete pad by the garage has 3 low spots which holds water. Disappointed in the quality of the pour and ability to get a level surface and get the water to flow off the surface properly.

My project involved both a concrete driveway and a paver patio with sidewalks. I wasn't looking forward to dealing with 2 separate contractors so I was glad to find TMW. They have crews that deal with both concrete driveways and pavers. Tyrone came out and took all the measurements. He is very knowledgeable about concrete and will talk your ear off about it. He came back out with Luis who does his paver work. Luis looked at the way my lot sloped and offered some suggestions for controlling drainage. We ended up adding a low retaining wall to direct water away from the new paver patio. Luis also provided a computer drawing of the paver patio. They use Unilock pavers and wall blocks. I signed a contract with TMW in June but the work didn't start until October. This wasn't a problem for me and I hadn't given Tyrone a date I wanted this done by. I knew my project was complex and he is in demand. At least we got all of our summer vacations and activities out of the way before the work started. They came out on a Tuesday at 7 am to start the demo. In 2 days they had all the concrete (driveway, patio and sidewalks) out, the driveway framed for the new concrete, base material installed and packed, back patio and walkways base material down and packed. I also needed 2 underground drains installed; one for a gutter downspout and one for a sump pump. They installed these drain lines as well. The following Monday they poured the concrete driveway. It would have been done on Friday but rain pushed the schedule to Monday. It took 3 cement trucks and they were done by the time I got home from work in the afternoon. Our property sits higher than my neighbors on the driveway side so we needed what's called a 'Heavy Edge' for that side of the driveway. It's essentially a concrete wall with extra rebar reinforcement. This added to the cost but was necessary. The old driveway had the same edge. The county also made them put a curved lip on the side of the driveway so water would be directed down the driveway versus over the edge. This wasn't a problem for Tyrone and we hardly notice it. They did the California brushed finish in the concrete. It turned out great and I'm very pleased with it. Due to coordinating other jobs the concrete crew was ready before the paver crew. Since the driveway was done first they waited for that to set before starting to lay the pavers in the back. Luis and his crew started a week after the driveway pour. They were considerate of the new driveway and used only wheel barrels on the new driveway instead of driving heavy equipment. This was more labor for them but I appreciated it. The original concrete driveway extended along the side of the garage but wasn't wide enough to park anything on. Instead, Luis built a retaining wall with a paver sidewalk versus putting concrete down again. The sidewalk then leads into the back patio. They spent about a week building the side retaining wall, spreading the sand base, laying the pavers, building a paver step, and putting in the other small retaining wall for drainage. They filled all the joints with polymeric sand and backfilled with dirt where needed. There are some areas I need to add decorative gravel. TMW would have done it but I decided to do that myself since I still need to decide what I want there. The pavers look great and now should have no more water problems from the patio. Overall it was a pleasant experience for such a big project. There are always little things that come up but Tyrone is a good man to work with. I had questioned the timing of the concrete pour since it was forecast to get below freezing that night. Tyrone's knowledge and experience convinced me everything would turn out alright. They even filled in a big hole left by a cement truck tire on the other side of the street without me asking. I thought the overall price was fair based on quotes I had received a few years ago just for the driveway work. I would use TMW again and recommend them to others.

Tyrone and his crew were wonderful to work with on our driveway project. Tyrone is clearly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he does. He and his crew were always on time and professional. The pricing is competitive and even included going for the needed permits. They were even kind to my 2 and 5 year old boys who spent the days of the demolition and pouring glued to our front windows.

I had Tyrone come out two years prior but ended up putting the work on hold. I had him come out again this year when we were ready to have the work done and he went over everything thoroughly again, answered questions, etc. He is very knowledgeable in the realm of concrete and I felt confident he would do a good job. Demo and new concrete pour was a three day process, which included the village pre-pour inspection. Final product is beautiful and we have received several compliments from our neighbors. Price was good for the quality of the job. Only issue is that we hadn't discussed expectations about backfilling once the wooden forms were removed. I ended up having to fill in about 1' deep X 6" wide of new dirt and sod the edges of the driveway and sidewalk where the forms were. I would have expected them to at least backfill with dirt to a reasonable depth once they were done. Just something to think about and discuss when working with a concrete contractor before they leave the job.

I was slow moving forward with this project. From proposal on 6/24/13 until signing contract on 7/24/13, I lost the possibility of a summer project and was then scheduled for sometime in October. TMW informed me this would be a 3-day project - 1 - 1 1/2 days of removal and forming, 1/2 day for village to inspect, 1 day for pouring. Then 5 days for drying. Weather was rainy 1st day of project (Thursday) and when they got down to muddy mess, they left (understandably). Day 2 (Friday) they went to another project 1st and came to me around noon. Day 3 (Saturday) they were at another project. Day 4 (Sunday) they did not work (understandably). Day 5 (Monday) they were at another project. Day 6 (Tuesday) they came early, worked hard, and finished forming by early afternoon. TMW tried to convince me to wait to pour until Day 8 (Thursday) because it was supposed to be really cold. I said no, get it inspected and pour on Wednesday (Day 7). I was really tired of the mess, the dogs not having access to back yard, only 1 entrance/exit from the house, parking on the street. TMW came to pour on Wednesday 10/23/13 (Day 7). They were at my house by 7:30 am and patio and driveway were complete by 2 pm. They use a California finish (rough texture in center of each square and smooth around edges). Looks great! I was very pleased with quality of workmanship, price was reasonable, they did a great job of cleaning up after themselves, and were all very personable. My only objection was the scheduling problem. I hope I never have to do a concrete project again. But I would definitely use TMW again. I would just make sure there was something in the contract about not overbooking And I would recommend them to others with just the one caveat.

they didn't cover concrete and it rained so I have rain marks which I showed Tyrone and he said nothing can be done.

I found Tmw Enterprises on Angie's list as well as contacted several other concrete contractors for estimates. Received visit and estimates fro m 4 companies. Tyrone of Tmw Enterprises is a true professional and is sincerely interested in his customers. He expressed a thorough knowledge of concrete and took the time to answer all of my questions. He stood out as compared to some of the other companies representatives giving me estimates, some of which were obviously not interested in my business. To me, $8,000 is a lot of money. I gave Tmw my order and he immediately took all measurements necessary to apply for permits and expedite start date, as our family had some medical upcoming procedures scheduled that could not be rescheduled. All phases of the project went smooothly and pre-pour and final inspections by the Village went without a hitch, with the inspectors reassuring comments that Tmw had done a "super" job for me. Backfill work went smoothly,and Tyrone even removed some overgrown bushes without extra charge, that were difficult to pullout. I would not hesitate to recommend Tyrone and his Company to anyone for quality concrete work. The overall experience was a good one. Why don't all companies today treat their customers like this !

After getting three proposals from Angie's List A-rated contractors we chose TMW who had the lowest project cost. He was able to work around our vacation schedule. Work was performed quickly and to our specification/design and agreement. Due to a communication problem with his crew (who couldn't finish the work due to a late day rain storm), the pre-pour inspection failed; he covered the reinspection fee without discussion. The prep work was quickly finished and passed. The final project looks great and so far there are no problems. Tyrone was always available when questions arose and was on the job most of the time supervising, although his crew seemed to be very diligent. Clean-up, while not perfect, was better than I would have expected. One recommendation (for any concrete contractor): make sure you measure the depth of the forms and pour area before the pour to ensure that the promised amount/depth of concrete is going to be delivered. Sometimes the base in the middle of the driveway tends to be higher than at the form which results less depth than promised.

They did an excellent job! First, Tyrone came out to give us an estimate. Once we agreed to go with them, he met with us to go over the details of the job, to make sure we both understood everything. He kept in good contact with us as to when the job would start. The days of the job went very smoothly and everything went just as it was planned. I would recommend TMW to do work again!

The original concrete installation was good and I would have recommended TMW to others, but a request for follow up work was extremely disappointing. After receiving a quotation for sealing the concrete driveway (originally installed by TMW in 2011) on June 12th, 2013, I asked to be scheduled for a concrete sealing. After receiving no response, On July 8th, 2013, I asked if TMW was still interested in the work or if they were too busy. I received a response that weather has been an issue but that I would be given a date for the concrete sealing by Tuesday, July, 16th. On Aug 9th after hearing nothing, I asked TMW if they were still interested. On Saturday, August 10th I was told that my driveway would be power washed on Monday (Aug 12th) and then sealed on Wed (Aug 14th). As of Thu (Aug 15th) with no weather problems, no one had showed up to do anything. I understand that things arise and delays occur, but what is not acceptable is to receive absolutely no feedback when this occurs. It takes maybe a minute to send an email to advise a customer of work status. Over a two month period I had no feedback ...this is simply unacceptable.

Tyrone was great to speak with. Although he was too busy to get our job done by the time we needed it and we're outside of his regular service area (50 miles) he spoke to me on the phone for over an hour about the work. He took the time to explain the right way to do the job, made several suggestions on things we didn't even consider, and answered all of my questions. I really wish we could have used his company and will keep him in mind for future jobs.

Tyrone and his team were great to work with. The work was done timely, reasonably priced and high quality. I would recommend these guys to anyone.

His answers enabled me to be a better educated consumer as I continued to shop for concrete contractors. His first available appointment was in September, and I wanted to get started sooner otherwise I would have cnsidered ed his company for the job.

Never showed. Never called. Don't bother with this guy.

Never showed. Kept promising that he would stop by again to quote. NEVER SHOWED. All talk no action. Stay away.

When I called to get a quote, Tyrone spent about 15 minutes asking questions about the project as well as answering my questions. We set an appointment time two weeks from my initial call. At the agreed upon time, Tyrone showed up with clip-board and measuring wheel. We walked through each of the areas, he asked questions, took notes and measurements. Once we had finished, he went back to his truck and in about 10 minutes I had a quote in my email. I had talked to 3 different concrete guys. The first was my original sub-contractor, who had done a great job on the foundation walls, basement floor and main floors, but he wasn't in a position to do the work in a timely fashion. I then spoke with a contractor who had a coupon in one of those mailers. He came out, provided a quote in a short amount of time, but it was a little lean on details. The price was lower than TMW's price, but I wasn't confident that I would be getting what I wanted and needed. I asked a few additional questions of Tyrone over the next couple of days and decided that he was the right contractor for the job. I was right! He knew that we wanted to get the work done quickly so that we could continue with the rest of our project, so he started the work when he was waiting for permits or inspections on other jobs. Within a couple of days, we were ready for our own inspection, which passed on the first visit. The next day the concrete was poured for about 1/3 of the job as we had agreed to. A couple of days later, the remainder of the job was completed. We are especially pleased with the results, their timeliness and workmanship. I cannot say enough good things about these guys! On-Time, On-Budget, Marvelous Quality! Great job Tyrone! Dan & Darlene

My contact with Tyrone of TMW began last fall when we agreed on the work and price. While not the cheapest estimate I got, the price was reasonable. Due to worsening weather we agreed to reschedule the work for May of 2013 for the same price and Tyrone promptly returned my deposit. In mid May the work was rescheduled and was promptly started. The structured concrete is absolutely beautiful...we are thrilled with it. Even the city inspector was impressed with the quality and beauty of the work. The driveway was then poured and finished with the California finish. While the workers did an excellent job, toward the end of the work, and beyond our control, the weather turned against us and a small portion of one corner was cosmetically affected by a light drizzle. , Because of this Tyrone extended his normal warrantee for an extra year, and I am confident that in time that portion will take on the same finish as the entire drive. Tyrone was very easy to work with. He sincerely wants to provide his customers with complete satisfaction. Every minor complaint was promptly remedied. He is proud of his "Angie's rating" and his customer service as well he should be. I will use Tyrone and TMW for my future concrete work. One thing I learned from this process is that something unexpected can always arise once the work begins. Therefore, I would make sure of the weather forecast a day or two beyond the expected completion date.

I couldn't say enough good things to match how well this job went !!! Tyrone was very personable and professional at the same time. As someone who has sold professionally for over 40 years, this is not an easy thing to do !!! His crew was exceptional and all was accomplished in a timely fashion and Tyrone was there throughout the whole process !!! They went the "extra mile" with some of the things I wanted to do with my property. If you want a professional job at a reasonable price, this is the company you want to do business with !!! It is nearly a year later and I couldn't be more satisfied with the job that they did !!! Thanks Tyrone !!! Drop by sometime for a beer and we can admire your work !!!

Sent request to get a quote weeks ago. Never received any response.

Overall Tyrone Ward, owner provided the quote & oversaw the entire project. Project was done well with accommodation to my schedule. When raining weather disrupted the original installation date I was provided with acceptable notice & we agreed on a mutually acceptable new date. All work was completed as planned with thoughtful attention to surrounding landscape. All cleanup during the installation and afterward was acceptable.

Left a VM for the Company at the beginning of the week, did not hear back. I tried back a few days later, spoke with someone (Tyrone?), he apologized as he was just getting caught up on VMs. Schedule to come out around 2-2:30 on Friday, never heard from him until 5:30pm on Friday. He left a VM stating he had a personal emergency & apologized for not coming over. He said he would contact me on Saturday to follow up and come out to give me an estimate. I never heard from him again. He should have contacted me when he had the emergency, rather than after the fact, I understand these things happen, just call. I guess he doesn't need my business.
