John was very professional. Had to come out 3 times over the course of a year. Every time I was ready to start the project, something else broke in our 76 year old house and I had to delay. John showed endless patience with us. When we finally agreed on a price and start date, the weather was not cooperating. It took more than a month to start, we had so much rain. Once the crew arrived, they were very polite and professional. They introduced themselves and went to work. They worked methodically and kept us apprised of developments. Our sidewalk turned out to much thicker than estimated. John had to bring a bigger jackhammer to deal with it. The whole job took about a week of time, broken up by a few rainy days. The crew took such care to put back the sod they had to cut out to put the forms in. They made sure all the gaps were filled in and the lawn was level with the new sidewalk. Then they pressure washed everything included the street to remove any pebbles and dirt. We are very happy with our new steps and sidewalks. John took the time to call me and tell me how to care for the concrete in the first few years of ownership. He told me that most homeowners can DYI it, although he could perform the work. Even schooled me in the proper type of sealant to purchase and how to apply it.
Description of Work: John replaced our front steps, front walk, driveway apron and county walk. They also did my next door neighbor's driveway apron and front walk. They demolished the old concrete and built the forms for the new work. Then we had to wait for the weather to clear and they did the pour in and forming in a single day.

Nice guy but not very professional. I called and he said he would stop by that day because I was going to be in the area. Told me I didn't need to be there for it. Got a call 3 days later and he just told me over the phone that it would be about $5,000. We talked for a while and he just kept telling me that was an estimate and it could go up from there depending on what he found. I decided not to go with him.

They came and demolished steps day 1 and began to build the framework. The second day was more of building of the framework for the new steps, putting in fillers and pouring of the concrete. They worked the second day from 8am till 7p. The guys were very professional, explained all the different steps that needed to be done and the timeframe it would take. I would use them again in a second.
Description of Work: Had concrete steps replaced in Townhome. They replaced everything from the front door to the sidewalk.

John and his crew are very experienced and definitely knew what they were doing. They were very friendly and happy to explain things to me as they worked if I had any questions. They worked quickly and paid great attention to detail. We gave them a little challenge by changing our minds about a few things along the way, but they handled everything professionally. I would definitely recommend Concrete Impressions, Inc. for any concrete work you need. In fact, I will be calling John, hopefully, in the Spring, to do another project for me. I am very happy with my new garage floor and walkways.

John was great. He responded quickly to our dilemmas, both in jackhammering and pouring. All work was done as promised. They. cleaned up after each job. All workers were friendly and professional. Danielle was great - loved seeing her hoist the jackhammer! John also helped out by recommending other subcontractors when needed. I've already recommended him to others. He advised me against another job I was contemplating, so appreciated his wisdom and honesty. I loved working with him, and can't say enough good things.

The proposal was put in place in July 24, 2014 and the original work started on September 16, 2014. It was completely unsatisfactory experience. The first step leading to the pool was not done correctly. It has a rough texture. When doing the pool deck, they covered over about 5 grommets that secure our pool cover. As a result, the pool cover cannot be completely secured. They came out in September 2014 to put a coating on our pool deck. A few weeks later it was cracking and peeling. I called them and they said they would be out in the spring of 2015 to fix the work. They came back out in early June 2015 to redo the work. They had to remove all the coating from the original job and they were out here for days to accomplish this. They used my electricity to power their machines to grind the old coating off which increased my utility bill substancially. The powder from the grinding is all over the new coping and I am unable to remove it. Every joint in the pool deck had to be re-caulked. There is excess caulking on the pool deck that looks terrible in areas that should not have caulked in the first place. The caulking of the joints was done very unprofessionally. The caulking job is the sloppiest I have ever seen. They splattered concrete on my brick walls and steps. The new pool deck coating looks like it is starting to crack in several places. The slab that they replaced was also sloppy and unprofessional. The concrete slab under the deck was initially done incorrectly as the water would not drain away from my sliding door. They had to come back and tear up the concrete and do that service again and now it is cracked in 5 or 6 places. The crew was unprofessional - being on their phones all the time and smoking in my yard.
Description of Work: We hired Concrete Impressions Inc to redo the pool deck and the slab under my sliding back door. We had him redo the sidewalk and steps leading to the pool as well.

Response from Concrete Impressions Inc
Re: Case number -03993598 In response to my clients complaint, Our original contract covered three areas; the lead walk and step system leading to the pool deck, the slab at the basement door, and a cosmetic overlay on the pool deck itself. In addition to our work the client contracted a pool company to redo the coping and caulking and a slab jacking company to raise settled pool deck slabs. The coping and caulking work was completed first. The slab jacking raised some of the slabs above the coping. We employed all reasonable precautions to protect existing work (ie) all metal pool cover grommets, coping, and the entire pool itself was taped off and covered with poly (at no additional charge). After the first application, new pool grommets were installed. At the time some of the new overlay was damaged by the installation of the grommets. We, at no charge, repaired these areas. Then came the winter of 2014 and a hard freeze! The new over lay failed and the slab at the basement door developed hair line cracks. As soon as our schedule permitted, we devoted full continuous time to rectify the problem with the pool deck overlay. Upon completion of the second application (with a different product) and re-caulking, it was our understanding that the only issue may have been two of the grommets were malfunctioning and the hair line cracks in the pad at the basement door. We readily agreed that if replacement of the grommets were necessary we would cover the cost and we would apply a penetrating sealer to the pad at the basement door (the hair line cracks caused by the hard freeze do not affect the performance of the slab for its intended use). In an effort to maintain our customer satisfaction, we expended more than 3 times the original contract amount to rectify this situation. There comes a time where you have to draw the line.

John came to the house in late June to speak with me and look at the site. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted and some specific requirements for the job; John was responsive and knowledgeable and understood what I was after. I later provided a drawing showing the dimensions and specifications of what I wanted done. I wanted exposed aggregate, new concrete steps built to meet the wooden stairway that goes up to my porch, and the appearance of concrete from the neighbor's earlier paver job cleaned up and neatened. The walkway also provides most of the drainage of rainwater from my flat roof, so I was concerned with proper drainage. After speaking with John and getting a professional contract via email, I sent a 1/3 deposit to secure my spot on the schedule. It was about three months until they were able to get to my job, but they were honest about the delay up front (I booked pretty late in the season, it turns out) and I wasn't in a rush. They originally wanted to start on a day that wasn't good for my schedule, and they were flexible and pushed it back a few days. It so happened I was at home the day they began, and my initial experience with Kye, the foreman, was excellent. He had my drawings and talked with me about what I wanted and what was important to me, and took the time to answer all my questions. As the project went on, he continued to communicate very well with me, as did several other members of the crew. Though John wasn't on site during the project, the crew was so good it wasn't an issue at all. As things went along, the project was tweaked slightly upon discussions and some recommendations from the foreman and crew. I was very happy with the communication aspect of the job. The finished product looks great, and Concrete Impressions really addressed all my concerns. Several aspects of the job look even better than I'd hoped, including the spots where new concrete met old - the transition was done very well. The exposed aggregate looks very nice and adds a decorative element without being out of character for a nearly hundred year-old row house. We haven't had a really heavy rain yet, but the slope of the walk seems good and the end points meet up with the older material, so I think it will drain just fine. Our neighbor was home while they were hosing the walk down as part of the aggregate job, and said it seemed to drain very well. All in all, I was extremely pleased with the experience, would definitely hire them again, and recommend them to friends and neighbors. It isn't always easy to find someone to work on a relatively small job at an older property that has its share of quirks and challenges, but Concrete Impressions rose to the challenge! Initially I thought the price a little high, but having seen the amount of work that went into the job, and the quality of the finished product, I think the price is very fair.
Description of Work: Removed an old concrete walkway in my back yard and replaced it with a new walkway and two steps that met the wooden steps descending from the deck above.

I called to have a few concrete slabs in my front walkway replaced. John from Concrete Impressions was very prompt in returning my phone call and setting up a time to perform the work. After John came out to look at the work to be performed, he told me it would be more cost effective to replace all the old slabs rather than only the 2 that needed to be replaced. John's crew was at my house when they said they would be there and finished when they said they would. They also put plastic over the new concrete to protect it from the rain we were supposed to get that weekend. In the end, the work looks great and John and his crew went above and beyond to make sure it came out looking its best. I would highly recommend them for any job and will certainly use them if I have any more concrete work to be done in the future.

I asked John for an estimate on sidewalk repair and we set up a time to meet. He showed up when he promised was nice to talk to and he took the time to explain what he was going to do and promised a figure in a couple of days. As promised he called with a figure. Unfortunately I have since decided to put off this project do in part that the county may be replacing the sidewalks in the neighborhood. If not I would not hesitate to contact John again.

John's crew did a GREAT job on my front steps. They first removed the crumbling concrete and block, framed up the steps, reinforced them from inside prior to pouring the cement, reduced the rise to make them safer-- and so then added another step. My family at the house is telling me how much better they are - not just the repair due to the crumbling, but the noticeable difference made by the change in rise. John was extremely flexible, working with me on a few other situations which arose beforehand. The job was completed in a timely manner, despite an intervening holiday. John was also very responsive to my many questions as I worked with him from another state. I can confidently recommend John without reservation or hesitation.

When they arrived they were professional and did everything we asked them to do. They were friendly and answered all of my questions. They cleaned up completely when the job was finished, as if they hadn't been there. Now we have a new porch top and front steps. We are delighted with the work they performed! My only complaint was how long we had to wait. We waited about 3 months. They did let us know they were very busy when we called, however.

I spent more than a year, and many many interviews from the time a renegade truck plowed into and destroyed the extremely old (original) wall and alleyway gates to the time the job was done. Surprisingly difficult it is to find someone who is willing and able to deal with city bureaucracy and zoning. Also, I needed someone who would be the General Contractor and oversee the entire project start to finish. Hired John and company from their excellent reputation on Angies list. Had to wait until spring - they book well ahead and some work is weather dependent (Also I didn't want them to start until they could go straight through.) But it was well worth it. About the job. Everyone was extremely professional. Glad to find out it was well deserved. Work started and ended on time. Small glitches were just fixed, no problem no issues. He managed the job site, controlled costs, and got the work done on time - even accounting for the Baltimore "riot" and very close to the original budget. (Always have surprises and some changes in a big project/old house.) Recommended some great design changes, was extremely good at keeping neighbors informed and happy, job site was always secure. Results: The end result was amazing. Will try and post pictures soon. Livable space, parking, beautiful walls that will last the next 100+ years (and all the things you can't see like solid footers and proper drainage) all done right. The name of the company, Concrete Impressions, is a bit misleading. Does not describe the full scope of the work that they do.

They were very punctual arriving on time however my Gen Contractor was not. When my General Contractor missed the appointment time the worked quickly to resolve it without additional cost. Once they got started they worked very hard and tried to get the hump of excess concrete completely removed. The space did not allow it to be brought level but they did the best they could in the small space. They worked to control the dust as well. is a great guy and the kind of guy you would love to hang out with. Good company all around. I plan on using them this spring to fix some other problems when the weather cooperates.

Hi, I contacted the owner and did receive a call back. He came to look at the concrete repair work needed in my yard. He said that the deal would not work for my yard because I needed more than a minor repair. However, he said that he would send me an estimate for the work needed to which the $269 could be applied. I never received the estimate. I guess that I spoke with him last in April 2013. Thanks for your consideration.
