It was great. It is a wonderful company; a nice gentlemen and his wife did the work. I was completely satisfied. They did a great job.
Description of Work: I've used Create-A-Crete. The original work was done three years ago and this summer they came back to clean the foot cement around our pool. I had them clean it and fixed any chips that occurred.

Troy and Rachel Pierce of Create-a-Crete did an outstanding job, essentially saving our old concrete patio slab. They stripped the old surface, grinding off a bad epoxy job and removing the top layer of the pitted concrete surface, patched the cracks, skimcoated it for a new smooth surface, applied a textured surface over that, and then applied several coats of pigmented sealer to finish it--of course allowing each layer to dry before beginning on the next, which with the perfect weather we had that day, they were able to do the job in one day. Our patio surface now looks like a well-executed pool deck, and the textured surface is beautiful and provides traction. It was a real pleasure to watch Troy and Rachel work, and to interact with them ? nice folks. While most other contractors shied away from our project (in one case giving us a similar estimate only to strip the surface by sandblasting--re-sealing would have been extra!), Troy quoted us a simple $6/square foot for everything: resurfacing/grinding, repairs, new skimcoat and concrete texture, and pigmented sealant. And they had no problems incorporating two simple stripes, which they rendered expertly. These guys definitely know what they're doing. We would use them again in an instant. They are well worth the money, and a much better alternative to jackhammering and replacing a perfectly good, structurally sound original concrete slab.
Description of Work: Strip and resurface our concrete patio slab.

They came out and surveyed the extent of damage to an old concrete pool pad/patio. Determined it would have to be replaced rather than resurfaced. So a request was made to Angie to refund Deal.

Troy Pierce , the owner of this company, is knowledgeable and courteous. After a site review and interview he responds to your questions with answers and suggestions. He calls "a spade a spade" and will not accept an order for something that he, his product, and or service can not provide. If you subscribe to his service you will be pleased. Troy and his crew are dependable,hardworking, efficient and clean up after their work. The concrete overlay is not cheap but it does enhance and improve the aesthetics of your patio, pool deck, or whatever concrete surface you may want altered.
Description of Work: Concrete overlay on the patio. We chose a slate stone design. The job included a acid wash, pressure wash, base coat, decorative coat and seal coat. The results were outstanding!

The experience with Mr Pierce at Create-a-crete was very good and I will use him again.
Description of Work: ATT hired UCI Inc to build a retaining wall around a utility pole on the back of my property. They hired Midwest Concrete Pumping to provide the concrete. On Jan 19th, Midwest pumped concrete across my property to the utility pole site. The pipe burst, or came apart at the joints and sprayed my houe with rocks and concrete, broke a window, blew my AC off the pad, and damaged numerous other places.. My lawn is destroyed. Mr Pierce of Create-a-crete washed the house, and got most of the concrete off. He was very professional and anxious to please. There was cocrete in places that he could not get off, and they will have to be replaced. If this report can cover the three contractors, good. I am having difficulty getting the work done or even the written intent to do it. I know that I am fighting large companies, but my home is my prime asset. I am a widow, 87 years old, and cannot say enough bad things about Mr Saylor at UCI or the Midwest Concrete Pumping Co. I have kept a journal of events.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal to obtain a free quote and a discount on labor for a few hours. I contacted the provider but never received a response from them. I telephoned the provider and left a message on their voice mail. I did not receive any followup. I finally emailed the provider and I did receive a 2 sentence reply that my job did not meet their $2,000 minimum. The Big Deal did not call out a minimum purchase. Angie's List refunded my money. The provider's customer service is extremely dissatisfactory. I would never contact this Company in the future.

Troy, the owner, was very responsive and prompt. I had used him 4 years ago and was very pleased with the work that was done. He provides a high quality product. The only negative was a substantial amount of concrete dust got into the pool. They should have shrink wrapped the pool before grinding and sanding the concrete. Troy covered the cost to clean the pool.
Description of Work: They laid new decorative concrete around the pool area and refurbished the entire area under the deck area in the back of the house.

When Mr. Duran came out to give me a quote he listened to what I wanted and then showed me pictures of his previous work. He had a variety of colors and styles to choose from, and choose I did. He was very courteous and did not push. When I asked him to proceed with the project, he was flexible to my schedule. Mr. Duran and his crew showed up on time on day one. They cleared and prepped the site before lunch, poured the concrete in the afternoon and had it stamped and stained by dinner. They left a clean yard, picking up everything and taking it away. The next day they were back to seal the concrete. The entire crew was polite and meticulous. I am definitely going to have them back to widen my driveway as soon as it's in the budget.
Description of Work: 18 x 16 foot concrete patio, stained and stamped to look like slate.

I purchased a BigDeal coupon. I called them to schedule an appointment, and they never responded. I emailed them about this, and I finally got a response. I tried to schedule an appointment, and they said that they would come out the next day to look at my house for the estimate. It has been a week and I have gotten no response back.

It went better then anticipated, especially with all the rain we have had this spring.
Description of Work: We had them tear out and replace a section of our driveway that was cracked (60 sf), put an overlay of concrete over our 3 car driveway, side walk, and small porch. After the new concrete had set for 30 days they came back to pressure wash it all, apply a base coat, a faux brick border and a seal coat. They did a very good job, it looks better then expected.

The owner is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He was prompt in giving us a quote and gave advice on best way to fix our problem. The work was done in two times to give the new pour adequate time to cure before resurfacing. They were hard workers as they had to break up a section during the hottest week of the year. We were very pleased with the results as it turned out better than expected.
Description of Work: Repair crack in driveway by removing section and replacing with new concrete. Also resurfacing entire driveway in order to repair salt induced spalling. Resurfaced by power washing driveway, etching with acid, laying thin over layer, and finishing with color and texture.
