Wet Works Concrete

Mitch and his crew at Wet Works did an exceptional job for a really reasonable price in a completely professional manner! We had other companies bid the job, and Wet Works was the only company that treated it like a real job. One of the other companies said that it barely met their minimum requirements, so they would be forced to charge us a set rate. Another company kept trying to get us to increase the scope of the job because it wouldn't be worth their while to come out otherwise. Mitch bid the exact job and didn't act like what we needed was insignificant and not worth his time. The whole process was so smooth. We had to get a permit and have a pre-inspection, and Mitch was so responsive throughout. He kept in close contact through email and responded promptly to our questions. The finished product is gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. I can't even say that he handled any problems that came up because there were LITERALLY no problems at all with the whole process. I know that our project was not big enough for other companies, but it was important to us, and Mitch did a fantastic job for us. I can absolutely recommend him and his crew without any hesitation.

Great. Mitch kept in touch with us as we waited for our Permit. He and his crew were here when they said would be. They worked hard, listened to what we wanted and completed a very nice job!! We are happy with the finished product and glad we had it done! Now the garage drains out and the driveway drains toward the drain!! Like it should! Yea! We would hire them again if we have more concrete work to be done.

Left 2 voicemails and have never heard back.

Mitch and his crew are the nicest people! I loved working with them, and they did a superior job on my front walk. They consulted with me, gave advice and listened carefully to my ideas and completed the job in a day leaving my yard in good shape and a brilliant new walk. It was indeed a pleasure!

I called day or two after sending message. Lady who answered said she hadn't read message. She read and said someone would call. No one has called yet. Going with another company that does concrete work.

The estimator (Mitch) was prompt, professional, and helpful. His estimate to replace the concrete walk was available the same day. Ultimately, I chose to take a different (less expensive but higher risk) approach of raising/repairing the walk. But, if that doesn't work or if I need other concrete work done, I will contact Wet Works and I recommend them to others.

Mitch and his team were excellent. Not only did he show up on time to all appointments, but each of the areas he worked on looks incredible. On top of that base work, Mitch also went above and beyond what I would have expected a concrete company to do (shown below). If you're considering Wet Works, I strongly encourage you to use them. He's the kind of guy who would do anything to make sure you're satisfied, even if it's more work. -We wanted the electrical conduit under our patio done a certain way, and he worked to make it happen -He came out to our house a day before the job started to make sure everything was in a good place. We told him that we wanted the old fence removed at some point, and he hopped in the bobcat and removed the whole thing. Then we mentioned that the tree stump was annoying next to the driveway, and he removed that. -He was ready to redo some of the concrete work he had already laid after we noticed some water pooling. He suggested an alternative solution that worked even better to solve the issue. -He realized that the bobcat wouldn't fit through our lower garage, so he rented a jackhammer to break up the old concrete in the garage instead. -He was extremely responsive through calls/texts throughout the job on issues uncovered or scheduling concerns with weather.

Great! Showed up on time, did a professional job, priced competitively. Cleaned up after themselves. I will use them again - they accept small jobs.

The front walk to the curb went perfectly and as described. The walk from the drive to the front stoop had an issue where the slope of the driveway didn't match the sidewalk. However, they overcame this by cutting out a section of the driveway and repaving it level with the sidewalk!

Great, can't say enough. Mitch gave me a fair quote, showed up on time, preformed the work as we discussed. Got the job done to my satisfaction.

I contacted Wet Works Concrete and asked for a quote on a small job, since their ad says "No job too small". I received a terse reply that my job was in-fact, too small for them to bother with ( about 1.5 yards for the record ). I suggested to Wet Works that if they have a minimum job size, they should not advertise to the contrary. Their entire reply on October 20th was, and I quote... " No job to small" does not mean " Have a clue" I'm not actually sure what that means. It may have been intended as an insult to me, in which case, I graded them an F for professionalism. Or, it may have meant that they only accept customers who have no clue... but again, that's an F grade. Caveat emptor, but I wouldn't let these guys anywhere near my property.

Mitch and his helper arrived on time and completed the job quickly and properly.

From the initial phone call to the completion of the work, Mitch was prompt, professional, and polite. He came out promptly to provide an estimate and followed up with an email within hours with the costs. Once we decided to go with Mitch, he provided a 2-day window of when he would be available and stuck to it. On the day of the work, he showed up exactly on time and began work immediately. The job had a few wrinkles due to tree roots and a not-so-easy-to-get-to-location. However, Mitch and his guys never wavered. They worked with me, offered suggestions, and the result was a fantastic solution with no delay in service and he stuck to his initial estimate. He and his crew were great - they cleaned up like they were never even there. When it comes to needing work of this sort in the future, I will not hesitate to work with Mitch again. Well done!

We have a concrete porch in front of our living room (we are in a split-level home) and it was all broken up. Mitch and his helper came and broke it all out, tied into the foundation with re-bar, replaced the concrete, and re-installed the uprights that hold up the roof overhang. He came on time, kept me posted by text, and left everything nice and neat.

I called Mitch as he said "no job too small" in his description. This was a small concrete job, adding to an existing old 1-car garage foundation that I'm using as a patio. It was technically difficult, as it required hand excavation immediately adjacent to an existing fence. As my work schedule makes it difficult to meet a contractor, Mitch was kind enough to estimate the project while I was at work and called to discuss the issue. His cost was reasonable considering the hand-work involved. The project was done in a very timely manner, and Mitch used a creative approach to ensure the concrete was placed right up to the fence for a seamless look. Excellent communications all the way through -- he even texted a picture of the work while it was being done! I would use Mitch again for any concrete work I needed done -- he is the epitome of the quality contractor you want for your house.

Mitch was one of the only vendors to call me back after starting my search last fall. It seems that all the concrete businesses in the Chicago Western Burbs have been booked up--some of the highly rated ones didn't even respond--especially for a non-driveway project. So, I appreciated his responsiveness from the start. Because we got started early in the season, we had to wait out the weather several times to begin work, but Mitch kept me posted on when he thought they could try. And then, when the weather finally started warming above 50 degrees, I had some restrictions with my schedule because I was in the process of showing my home for sale. Mitch and crew came on a Wednesday to break up and dispose of the the existing concrete, dig the necessary "trenches" (cutting out patches of grass), and get the stakes inserted for the pouring. On Friday (the next available "good weather day"), they returned in the morning and promptly poured the concrete. They did a nice job, were very tidy, courteous and easy to work with. I've received many compliments on the new walkways, particularly the one leading up to the front door, which was most important to me since it's the first impression that a potential buyer could have! This was a fairly simple job, but would highly recommend them and consider using them again for a larger job down the road.

Mitch and his team were exceptional. Mitch went the extra mile- he helped weigh-in on a difficult family- contractor situation. After our old patio was removed, Mitch came and poured a beautiful new stamped concrete oasis. We're so thankful for the moment we saw Wet Works Concrete on Angie's List. He was able to work his schedule around us, was reliable, and was very professional. We highly recommend Wet Works and would use them again in a heart beat!

We would use him again and do strongly recommend him!!

It was a bigger job than we thought.... but Mitch quoted us a good price, showed up on time, cleaned up and made the whole process relatively painless. The guys were very careful stepping around the plants (100% survival!).. it was one day for removal of the old mess and preparation of the site, one day to pour the concrete and the third day (just a couple of hours) to remove the forms, cut lines in the concrete and put everything else back. Everything happened just a we were told it would and the driveway (and the new sidewalk) look great! We have a new addition coming up and will be hiring Wet Works to do all of our concrete flat work (patio, path etc) when it's done

We contacted three providers requesting quotes and availability. WW was by far the most reasonable and available, in part due to weather preventing them from working on outdoor projects. Mitch came right away to quote, and then started the job two days later with a helper. They had an additional crack to fill and didn't adjust the original estimate. We found them to be everything we'd want in a provider: Quick, polite, experienced and fair in pricing. He provided the receipt we needed for buyers of our house with no problem, and offered to submit his certifications and insurance materials if needed.

I had a hole in my front step from the winter that needed to be repaired before it became a big issue. Mitch called and looked at the stairs the same day. He gave me an estimate and was able to fit me in the next day as he was in the area. The steps look great. He cleaned up the loose concrete. Mitch was totally on top of the job, even though it was a small job. He was a pleasure to do business with. I would definitely call him again.

It went very well and they did a very nice job. We had an existing stoop that had been sinking over the years and they were able to rip that out and move the existing sidewalk and make it bigger. They helped through the design and were good. The guy came in and did the job at no extra cost. The price was between $1000 and $1200. He was very thorough and we had a check on prices and they were reasonable.

Mitch replaced the front stoop which was causing a leak into my basement and 2 squares of my walkway in April of 2012. By June 2012, less than three months after he replaced the sidewalk, a crack appeared in one of the squares near the stoop.. I called Mitch, he came over and looked at the crack and said let?s see how it looks after the winter. I know these get worse and not better but I was distracted with other problems so I agreed. A few months ago, July 2013 or so I called him to come over and replace the square as he had agreed to do. instead he gave me an argument saying he had saved my f*king house and that I didn?t know as much about concrete as he did. Ultimately he agreed to do the replacement. and said he would call the day before he came.. That was about 7 weeks ago. I have called three times since with no return call. I am really disappointed with the response I've gotten and with the lack of pride in ones work.

Mitch returned my call for a quote quickly and submitted a quote in two days. Other contractors took weeks and some couldn't do the job. Wet Works was selected and did a great job. I would use them again. Thanks, Terry

I called Mitch at Wet Works for an estimate. He arrived at the agreed upon day and time to provide the estimate. He listened carefully to my concerns about the slope of my driveway and addressed them. We set another time to have the job done and he was prompt and performed the work just as we had discussed. I don't think that anyone else could have done the work any better. UPDATE: We discovered a damaged item at our home. We left a message asking if Wet Works had any information about the damage. My husband received a return call and was told that they were surprised that we noticed the damage and that they were sawing rebar in that area. We requested that the item be replaced (Approx $40-$50) and it was agreed to. Mitch was supposed to come by our house on Saturday and was a no-show. As stated above, the work he did was excellent but he didn't handle the subsequent damage issue well at all. So because of this I am changing my answer to would I use this provider in the future to "no" and professionalism to "fair".
