Everything went really well.Paul came down to the house in july and gave me a estimate on ripping out the inside concrete of the garage and ripping out the driveway and replacing that,and replacing some of the sidewalk a previous contractor messed up.Paul's guy's are professional and know what their doing.Paul himself is a great guy to work with.If you have any question's he's easy to get a hold of.The work turned out pretty sweet--compared to the last contractor that I had---"PAUL WAS A GODSEND"I'm looking to hire on paul in the future to replace the front sidewalk and a few other things around the house.The only problem that I had was one of paul's guys accidently hit the top part of my garage door opening with the skeed steer.The one gent in charge tried to patch it up and I told him he would have to repair it like new.With no argument that's what he did.It was only maybe a foot length damage.They got the material and even painted it for me.i'd give paul and his crew an A overall.
Description of Work: Had the inside garage floor tore out and replaced and my old driveway tore out and replaced,and section's of sidewalk replaced from another contractor's incompetence.

Everything went like clockwork. The crew worked like a team making sure all the work got done in a timely manner. It was amazing to watch everyone doing the next step without any problems or faltering. The best i've ever seen. The sidewalk and driveway have a picture frame finish that looks beautiful and impressed all the neighbors that came by. This is the best team by far this year.

Description of Work: Paul Larson removed my old drive, apron and 17ft of sidewalk and then replaced them all. This was not an ordinary job as the terrain is very steep and a retaining wall limits access. We had minor problems getting the job scheduled, but it was well worth the wait. These guys know what they are doing and if they say it will take two days work it is done in two days. The job looks great. They showed great ingenuity in reducing the steepness of some of the sidewalk as well.

Driveway came out great ( 16 wide by 48 long ). Replaced blacktop driveway. It took awhile to get a quote as they are quite busy. After I received the quote I thought it probably would not be started until the spring of 2014. But an opening happened and they started in late August 2013 and completed the tear out and the pour within two days. They did everything listed in previous reviews. Fast and efficient. The most important thing about the entire experience.....I'M HAPPY!
Description of Work: Poured new driveway.

From the inital call for an estimate until the project was finished, I never had a bad experience with them. Glen, the owner, came out to do the estimate. He answered all our questions and he asked about what our overall goal/project was. He offered many ideas and tips. When the first crew showed up to excavate, they were VERY courteous and professional and very quick. Another crew came out to frame for the slab and came back the next day to pour. Again, they were quick and more than willing to answer questions. Glen came out for final inspection and to finish the last details. We had the cement colored and it looks great. Thier bid came in lower and the quality was better then the other bids we got. I will use them again for more projects. One thing also that really impressed me is the fact that the employees, the laborer's said how much they enjoy working for Glen and the company.
Description of Work: Excavated area, poured a concrete slab/patio.

We agreed to work this garage into their schedule (indoor work on inclement days). Otherwise the wait would have been 2 months. The second time rain was scheduled, they called the day before and confirmed that day would work. The old floor was removed, hauled away, drain installed and new floor poured within 3 days. A team of workers rotated through - 1 team, broke up and removed the concrete, others came and installed the drain, drilled holes and tied in the rebar, others poured and finished. One team would get done and within an hour the next crew would be there working. EXTREMELY HAPPY with the results. Will definately use them again next year for patio and sidewalk replacement.
Description of Work: Removed the old concrete from inside a two car attached garage. Rebar was tied into the foundation (the original floor did not have any and portions of the floor had dropped up to 4 inches from the foundation concrete). A drain was installed in the center of the floor. The job was beautifully done and we are SO happy to have a garage floor that isn't full of cracks and holes.

From the first contact with Paul by telephone, I knew I had the right people for the job. He and his son were both very friendly and personable, and came out within a couple days. They measured the job, did some preliminary figuring and gave me options regarding nearly everything on the project from the surface finish, to shape of the sidewalk and driveway, to how to care for it once completed, and what to expect from a new concrete driveway from a wear and durability standpoint. He explained the entire process from start to finish, how the job was to be done, with what materials, who the concrete vendor was, etc. He provided a list (on paper!) of his previous projects without my asking for it, and almost insisted I go and inspect his work - all of which I found to be excellent and quite attractive (he uses a brushed/broomed surface with a smooth 'picture-frame' perimeter finish on some jobs which makes the finished project stand out dramatically). Paul made himself available for questions and was on the job site each day (despite very recent shoulder surgery) to check progress and quality, and to check in with me to see if I had any revisions to the project. His crew was hard-working and extremely courteous and friendly. They answered any questions I had as well, and made sure that I was fully satisfied with the result during the process. They cleaned up after themselves daily, and were very respectful of my property during the project. I would very highly recommend Paul Larson Concrete, and intend to use them in the future for a patio and garage floor. Keep up the good work, Paul!

It was $5 a square foot. He was prompt and did a good job. He was on the jobsite every day and he made sure that we were satisfied. He was the high price but he came down and met his competition. I would use him again.

He was very nice, but too busy. I would give him an A for effort.
Description of Work: We worked with him in the summer of 2010. We were going to use us in the summer of 2011, but we went with someone else because he was too busy.

When the contractor was here making his estimate, he anticipated nearly all my questions. No down payment or deposit was required. The estimate was received on 4-12-2011 and accepted/hired on 4-19-2011. Weather finally allowed work to start on 5-16-2011 PM, and the job was completed on 5-19-2011 AM. This contractor had done another driveway a few houses away about a year ago. The result then was actually visibly stunning. Here, in my opinion, it was equally so. Everything promised, and more, was done in a professional, patient, and friendly manner. I would not hesitate to recommend this contractor to anyone wanting similar work done.
Description of Work: The contractor excavated and hauled away the existing concrete driveway, front sidewalk, and asphalt approach. He then prepared a compacted stone base with rebar in both directions, tied. The concrete, six bag mix, 4000 PSI (4" to 5" slump) was poured with control joints formed by hand (no saw cut joints) and rigid foam expansion joints (no disappearing black fiber). The sidewalk was 5' X 5' and 16' X 3'4", the driveway 16'6" X 48'6", and the approach 16'6" X 10' widening to 21' at the street with a 2'6" X 10' section on the right hand side for the mailbox (six inches thick at the street). The street was saw cut and repaired at the end of the drive with asphalt patch material approximately 1' X 31'. The sod removed for forming was replaced, and the sides of the drive, the approach, and sidewalk were filled as needed with pulverized black dirt in preparation for reseeding. A deep sealer and a film sealer will be applied after thirty days providing a top surface failure warranty against scaling for one year from the project finish date, or 5-19-2012. The warranty will be extended one year to 5-19-2013, if film sealer is reapplied to the concrete before 11-15-2012.
