Hage Concrete Works

When I contacted them to do an estimate they were going to charge until I told that I had work done by them ten years ago and then they gave us a free estimate. They looked around and suggested some changes based on what they had observed. This house is really old and they were suggesting some changes to accommodate making all the same. I wouldn't refer them as they charge for an estimate and wouldn't only if some work was done by them before. It really bothered that they were going to charge me and I felt like that I had forced them to give a free estimate. I felt uncomfortable. I liked that they sat on the table and gave me an estimate here. They 20minutes of time and then was able to discuss what they wrote.

Called and made an appointment to inspect the cracks, arrived on time, took about 10 minutes to say there were normal and not to worry about them.

Hage was not the cheapest quote that I received, but they were the most comprehensive in what they would do to fix the problem. The other bids that I received were pretty minimalistic in their approach and their price. I'm sure that Hage would have quoted a more minimalistic approach, too, for a similar price, but I wanted to fix the problem forever instead of just patching over it. I get the feeling that (at least during these economic times) a lot of these concrete companies are just trying to make a quick buck doing low cost work. My feeling was that Hage has higher standards, a bit pricier, but well worth it.

While we wish we could have used this company (if our experience with the estimator is any indication of their quality), in the end, the bid was over our budget and we had to go with a one of the lower estimates.

It worked out very well. They were there when they said there were going to be, finished the job on time, and were very professional. They were wonderful to work with. The quality of the work was impeccable. They were not the highest bid or lowest bid, but it was worth the extra money. I would definitely recommend them to others.

The company called me back right away. They do not provide estimates in the winter time, and requested I contact them in the Spring. I will probably call them in the Spring for the estimate.

It is very beautiful and well done. Overall, they did an excellent job and I am pleased with the service.

The brutal winters in Minnesota had removed chunks of concrete from stairs. I did not want to spend the money to have the stairs replaced so I asked for a and quot;patch job.and quot; The contractor warned me about the shortcomings of doing just a patch job but unlike some other companies he was willing to do it. All repair work remained intaked over this last winter.

The estimator came and was very friendly and had great ideas. He said that he would provide me an email quote, but after two weeks, I had not received any quote. I emailed him back and asked for the quote. He said that he was busy and would be sending it within the next day or two. It's been a year, and I never heard back from him. In the meantime, we built a 15*25 foot paver (obviously through a different company). I'm not sure why we never heard back, but it was a frustrating experience.

Went great. Because of the extremely wet spring and early summer, the polymeric sand can turned a slightly green tinge. But, this is more due to our heavily shaded back yard. The nice thing about this material is when it does loosen up and comes out in certain areas, and it will. It's very simple to just touch up fill those spots. It's as simple as pouring in some sand and hitting those repaired areas with a misting bottle. I'll probably do that every few years. This would not be a good solution for an area with constant standing water. I gave an A for price because although it wasn't a ton of work for Hage. The very fact that they offer this service for such a substantial savings over full patio replacment or restoration I feel says something about the willingness of the company to do what's right or best for the customer. And, not just push what makes most profit for them. Great company to work with.

They are customer service oriented and followed up with a thank you letter after the project was finished. That really stood out to me, and I would use them again without a doubt.

They did a beautiful job and I liked them a lot. I liked their services and will use the same in future.

We had Hague do our retaining wall a few years back and they were great. On time. No surprises. Clean. Wiling to explain the process. Professional. So when our sidewalk cracked, leaving a crevice the size of Arizona it, they came out and replaced two sidewalk panels (they did not do the original work, the City of St. Paul did). To this date (six years later) the sidewalk is still pristine because they used their Technicrete process. They were terrific.

They were excellent and professional. They follow through and kept to their cost. They did more than they needed to do. We were really happy. They were expensive but we got what we paid for.

it was great. ollie is awesome. came out himself to make the estimate. checked the work after the job was completed. yep.

Excellent workmanship. They were punctual and professional. We were consulted about modifications to the plan, they were very flexible in order to produce a beautiful new entryway. They cleaned up every day...we were pleased. The lifetime guarantee was a plus.

Mr. Hage came out and gave a labor/materials flexible bid. He was kind, and things seemed fine. When the work crew came to start the work, one of the workers refused to start on the project because he was not comfortable with what Mr. Hage and I had decided on for a fix. I had to spend much time convincing this worker to do the job, and ultimately he and his fellow worker called Mr. Hage and confirmed the work to be done. This was frustrating. The concrete work was done with no attention to detail. I went to look at things as the workers were packing up, and had to stop them from leaving, because their repair job was incomplete. There were still many areas of concrete flaking off. When I pointed this out to the workers, one of the workers told me that if I am going to stare at this all day, then sure… I would find many problems. That was frustrating as well. When one of the workers came back to do a dye job on the concrete, he spilled concrete stain into the pool (which was partially empty and in the process of filling). This stain hit dry parts of the bright white pool floor, and stained the pool. I did not discover this until the worker had left, but it made me furious. On top of that, his stain (blending) job on the concrete was terrible. I wish Angie’s List allowed photos, because the pictures I took are shocking. I called Hage Concrete to complain about this, and they sent a third worker to see what could be done about our stained pool. He was very surprised at the poor concrete stain job, and did not have any ideas how to get stains out of a concrete pool. At this point, I had dealt with three different Hage Concrete employees. Two of them were terrible, and the third did not know how to fix the problems the other two had caused. At this point I called Hage and fired them, because it was apparent that Hage Concrete did not have a competent work staff. I did not want another Hage employee coming in and making things worse. I feel I got a mediocre concrete job, a terrible dye (blending) job that will have to be totally redone, and possibly irreversible damage done to our pool.

Hage came out to my house to assess the required work associated with replacing front steps, patio repair and concrete work needed along the garage in the alley. They never submitted a written estimate, even after I placed a follow up call to them reminding them that I was waiting to receive it.

They were almost invisible. Completed the work almost without our knowing they were there and did it correctly and efficiently.

It went fine. They came out the day after I called and I got the estimate within a couple days. The work was performed a couple weeks later by a couple of really nice guys who cleaned up the area after. I was very happy about the look of the new sidewalk.

The person who was sent to do the repairs was impressive. I was also very impressed with the owner’s professionalism, knowledge, and helpfulness. He seemed to be a consummate professional. It was reassuring to have such a person look at our front stoop and say it was not going to collapse. He is truly worth his price.

Since I live far away from the property, it is important to me that vendors are easy to work with remotely. Hage was very easy to work with. They promptly gave me a estimate. Once I sent the signed contract with 1/2 down payment, they completed the work quickly. They sent me photos of the completed work, and I had a friend verify the quality of the work. Hage was professional, easy to work work, and did quality work.

The whole project went very smoothly. Mike and his team scheduled the job and had intended to finish it in one day. However, they worked until approximately 9:00 pm (in November) and didn't quite get done. One of men came back the next morning (a Saturday) and worked another half day to finish the job.

I was very pleased with their work. The person that gave me the estimate also gave me suggestions for future maintenance. They arrived at the time they said they would. They cleaned up nicely.

Price was way too high. We did not use.
