Letendre Concrete & Design INC

Shawn came out for the estimate within a few days. He was very thorough in his estimate. I had read reviews on Angie's List about his attention to detail and how he and his team are very meticulous about clean up. That was important to me. Shawn and his crew showed up on time and quickly had the old sidewalk dug out and were putting up forms before I knew it. The guys were all very personable and willing to answer any questions I had. They were very professional and did a fantastic job. Shawn even had the leaf blower out blowing off dirt that was left anywhere around the work area. A few days later they came back to remove the forms and brought dirt and rock to fill in around the edges. Once again, Shawn made sure there was NO debris left anywhere. I have never hired such a conscientious company. I will ONLY have Letendre Concrete and Design do any future concrete work for us.

I got a bid from Shawn for our front step and walkway last fall however we were not able to have work done until this summer. Shawn honored the bid from last fall which was great. We had numerous contractors to our house this summer (roofing, siding, door install, and concrete work through Letendre). Shawn was by far the most professional and communicative with us through the process. Crystal, his office assistant, was fabulous and returned calls on weekends and evenings. Due to the wet summer, our job did get delayed by 1 month, however Shawn consistently kept us updated as to when he would be out. I really appreciated his calling me to keep me updated vs having to call contractors to find out what's going on as I had to do with the other contractors. Shawn is very personable and laid back. His team did a great job installing our new steps and wider walkway. We have had many compliments on his work.

This was our second time to the dance with this company. Details? I couldn't tell you this time as I saw Shaun only briefly as he was leaving by the time I got there. Long story short, his office called to work us into the schedule, and I accepted after hours via their answering service. About 230, I got a call from Shaun wanting the garage door code to complete the work. I don't usually do that with any contractor, but the last go around went so well, I had no reservations. I was home within an hour, and, as stated, was just in time to see Shaun headed down the street to his next gig. I flagged him, paid him, got the instructions for the curative process, all good. They came back the next day and removed the forms and seeded any grassy areas that needed it. I can't stress enough that this company is first class all the way and will get ALL of our concrete work from this point forward. I must say this in closing. Working with concrete is a hard and dirty business let alone any demolition that must be done before the actual concrete work. This is the second time I have given Shaun a demolition/replacement job where NO foot print was left behind save for a few square inches of border grass. Prompt, clean, and professional! Hiring this company is a NO BRAINER!

Shawn came out to my house with in 24 hours of my call, we went over what I was looking to have done. He explained the whole process of the work to me and got me a price with in a day. I decided that the price was fair and scheduled the job. The day of the job Shawn and his crew were right on time and very friendly. They did a great job, the finished product looks great and I couldn't be happier, they even back filled around the sidewalk and seeded after they were done. I would definitely refer anyone I know.

I got 3 bids. Shawn recognized the well room under the front steps right away and was the only one who was not bothered by having to do the install over the old well room. The other bidders shook their heads when they realized what was involved & really did not want to tackle this project (and their pricing reflected that reluctance). I had confidence in Shawn's ability to do the work & appreciated his advice. The guys arrived right on time. The front steps are over my old (disconnected) well so they had to shore up the base before removing the old front steps. This was completed as well as removal of back steps. The old broken sidewalk was also removed along a garden. New front and back steps and a new patio extension were then installed. I was concerned about drainage from the new patio so it would not drain into my driveway. It happened to rain a couple of days after the install and the drainage away from the driveway worked very well. All work was accomplished in 1 day, and they returned a few days later to clean up the little chunks of concrete and back fill with topsoil the areas where the molds had been. They even seeded the new topsoil! I highly recommend Shawn's team. They are hard workers and they will do a great job for you!.

Company came a day early because of schedule changes for them, it was great for us, wanted to get the job done. On time and ready to work, very professional. Quickly removed damage concrete area, filled in the sink hole area to prevent another problem, compacted the area, framed the area that needed the concrete, minimal damage to grass and flower areas around the driveway. They poured the concrete and all three worked together on the areas, very hot day and the concrete was drying quickly. Would not stop until it was right. Cleaned up the area around the driveway extremely well and I'm thankful for. Came back 3 days later to remove the frame work and put dirt and seed down next to driveway were grass was before and moved all the rock back into position around our flower/plants. Great teamwork. I will recommend in the future.

We extended an existing concrete patio. Shawn and his team were great to work with and did a fantastic job.

I was very impressed with both Shawn Letendre and his wife, Crystal. When I initially called to schedule an estimate, I spoke with Crystal. She was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, as was Shawn when he came out to give me the estimate. I got 4 bids for the job, but chose Letendre Concrete & Design because I felt very comfortable working with Shawn and Crystal and the price was fantastic! Shawn and Brian showed up promptly at 7:00 AM to begin work and were done by noon. They did a great job of cleaning up. There were some finishing touches that needed to be taken care of and they came back 3 days later to finish the job. (They would have finished the next day, but the weather didn't cooperate.) When they left, it looked like they'd never been here, except for the new stoop and sidewalk! I highly recommend Shawn and his team for any concrete work.

Shawn showed up promptly for the appointment to do the estimate and was very professional. Our project consisted of replacing a 21 year old asphalt driveway with concrete, the replacement of our front walk and stoop, and the installation of a concrete patio underneath our deck in the backyard. Shawn took the measurements and furnished us with a detailed written estimate the next day. We received two other estimates from local concrete companies, both of which were a little higher than Shawn?s estimate, but were still in the ballpark. We decided to go with Shawn and Letendre Concrete for a number of reasons. Aside from the great price, his was the only company that offered to fill in around the concrete and seed after the forms were removed. The other two companies said that would be up to us to do. The other thing was that because the patio under the deck was around the back of the house, we were concerned about damage to the yard during the project and what that might add to the budget. The other two companies said that damage to the yard would be hard to avoid and their estimate didn?t include repairs to the lawn. Shawn on the other hand said that the damage, if any, would be kept to a minimum and that their plan was to dig the patio out by hand and haul the concrete in by wheel barrel. We were sold. Shawn and his crew showed up on the day promised and wasted no time with the demo and preparation for the new concrete. The entire project was completed within two and a half days. Each day before they left, they cleaned up the work site, even the street in front of our house where they loaded and unloaded materials. You would hardly know they had been here. And as Shawn promised, there turned out to be no damage to our yard leading to the new patio around back. Just a little trampled down grass. Shawn and his crew did an excellent job and we couldn?t be happier with the results.

They did a great job. We are very pleased.

..They arrived a little early. Showed respect for our yard and the rest of the driveway. When the cement arrived, the truck stayed in the street and off our driveway. The brought the cement by wheelbarrow to the site. They worked quickly and well. We couldn't be more pleased with their work and the outcome achieved.

The garage apron and the sidewalk along one side of the garage were originally done by Gallagher Concrete Inc. The apron and part of the garage sidewalk started to crack one year later and 6 months after that chunks of concrete were breaking from the sidewalk. I had called Jim Gallagher for two years and he never replied back so I wrote it off as a loss. I also gave Gallagher a F rating! This year (2014) I called Shawn of Letendre Concrete to have him replace part of the garage apron and part of the sidewalk next to the garage. Shawn came out right away for an estimate and was very professional. We set a schedule for the work hoping the weather would be good and it finally was. The work was done fast and efficiently and all of the mess was cleaned up. A grassy area near the sidewalk they were replacing was ripped up. Shawn's team added dirt and grass seed to the area. The concrete work looks good and I'm glad to get it taken care. Thanks Shawn

I contacted Letendre concrete by email on a Sunday evening and within just a few minutes Crystal (Shawn's girlfriend) called to set up a time for an estimate. Shawn came out the next day and the bid was very fair and in line with the other 4 bids that we got. I was impressed with their professionalism and responsiveness. We decieded to go ahead with the proposal from Letendre, so I contacted Crystal and she told me that she would call me later that week with the tentative schedule. True to her word Crystal called and we set a date and she told me that Shawn and the crew would be there by 7am. The day of the work Shawn and the crew arrived at 6:40am and began work. They made quick work of the demolition and had the new concrete poured by 10:30am. They took their time to make sure everything was correct. The crew cleaned up everything and even completely swept my 120 foot long driveway. While the crew was cleaning up I talked with Shawn and he even gave me some great ideas for some future projects. The finished project looks great and we couldn?t be happier with the work. I would strongly recommend Letendre Concrete to anyone who needs work done and I will definitely use them again in the future.

We got quotes from at least 4 companies. Shawn Letendre understood our concerns about water drainage issues and had a reasonable solution. They responded with a quote in a timely manner and their price for the job was competitive. We were consulted after the sidewalk forms were installed to make sure that the drainage concerns were addressed. They arrived on time and worked as late as necessary to complete the job (it took about 3 days). They did a thorough cleanup when they were finished. Shawn has just a couple of crews and was able to be at our job site most of the time. We are very pleased with the finished product.

Went great. Looks terrific. Shawn was very professional and fast. The drain area was over 2 foot wide. Uou would not know it ever existed.

Shawn Letendre showed up promptly for preparing estimates and scheduled us quickly. Crews showed up as scheduled and were very efficient and expeditious in the site prep. Their experience in doing this work becomes very clear quickly. Concrete was poured the following day with close attention paid to the finishing work. Even the Cemstone truck driver commented to me that I was in good hands with this crew before the pour....it was nice to get that additional unsolicited endorsement of their work. It turned out very well, exceeding my expectations. Forms were left on over the weekend and when they came to remove them, they also installed and raked the black dirt. When finished, the work was a great looking job!

They were amazing. Their price was awesome. I liked the fact that they came out and he added curves. He spent a lot of time here. There was a 20 degrees hedge on our sidewalk to help the water drain away with our gutters. He's awesome. We didn't actually run into problems. They asked if they could work on our yard when it was rainy and super muddy like after the snow.

The Letendre team arrived at about 7:30 AM and worked very quickly to finish the total job in a little over 5 hours. They tore out the 33 ft. long walkway that had deteriorated to almost rubble in some spots. They tore out the concrete apron that had sunk about 2 inches over the past two years. Once the demolition was complete, they filled in the damaged area underneath the apron with new aggregate to better support he concrete and prevent the sinking we had been experiencing. They also put down new aggregate for the walkway. Once tamped down. They put the forms up and poured the concrete. They worked very efficiently. Each person on the team knew what was expected and did what needed to be done. After the concrete set for a bit, they brushed the top for texture and then sprayed a sealant. When I am ready to replace my driveway, I will be sure to call on Letendre.

Excellent experience. Letendre was very responsive, quick to quote, and flexible to schedule (they squeezed us in to their busy October schedule ahead of cold weather). Shawn and I had several phone calls. I always reached him on the first try. He was present at both the asphalt removal (day 1) and pour (day 2). The job is beautiful - couldn't be happier. If that weren't enough, Letendre removed an old basketball hoop and diamond saw cut a broken part of our existing concrete apron at no extra charge. I would not hesitate to recommend the company.

They are here today. They arrived on time and are working very fast. My driveway is almost ripped out and it's been less than 2 hours since they arrived.

Sean was one of the first to return my call for a bid. The other bids were so stratospheric I could barely believe it. One wanted to charge me an extra $1000 for labor if I did not tear out my back fence so they could use a Bobcat. All of the contractors I requested bids from are on Angie's List. The area really is not that large to begin with. Anyway Sean gave me a fair bid for the work. On top of that no need to rip out the fence. He and his crew took care of excavating the ground laying class 5 as a base and had the patio poured in no time flat. They were punctual on the scheduled day and responsive to my requests. The end result is some of the best masonry work I have seen. They had everything sloped and graded correctly. They tied into the existing sidewalk so that it looks like all one pour. Top notch work all the way around. Going forward if I need any masonry work done, I am just going to call Sean because asking for other bids would be just a waste of time.

We got Shawn's name from Angie's List, along with two other contractors. Shawn was the quickest to respond, and he also gave us his written estimate very quickly. We chose Letendre even though the bid wasn't the lowest -- Shawn's bid was the middle bid. We decided to go with Shawn as he seemed like a reputable, small business guy who would stand by his work, and we felt he wouldn't overcharge us nor would he "cut corners." Shawn explained the process so that we could understand it and gave us some design guidance during our discussions (which was very helpful), even coming back to meet with us a second time when we decided to change things a bit. As far as the actual work, Shawn's crew showed up on time -- even earlier than expected on the hottest days. We weren't around during the daytime when the actual work was done so didn't have much interaction with the crew. Things were cleaned up each evening between stages in the job, and as everyone else has noted, dirt and grass seed was laid down at the conclusion of the job. A couple of things kind of surprised us during/after the project and, though it all worked out fine, I think it will be helpful if other homeowners are aware of these things up front so they're not caught off guard as we were. * Garage doors need to be left open -- when I was leaving for work the morning of the driveway pour, Shawn asked me to leave my garage doors wide open for that day. Not to sound paranoid, but my husband has lots of tools and equipment, etc., in our garage and I've been well trained :-) to keep the doors closed. When Shawn explained why the doors needed to be wide open, I fully understood, and left them open (hoping my husband wasn't going to kill me! :-), but the unexpected, on-the-spot request threw me for a loop. * Powder used with decorative stamping will require some of your own cleaning -- we discovered that the powder got on EVERYTHING. I discovered a light (almost invisible) coat of powder was on our siding,porch window and front door. I cleaned them, which I was okay with doing, but just a heads up that it does get on everything nearby and if you're picky (okay, I admit that we are), you'll want to clean everything near to where the powder was used. Perhaps over time, rain would have washed it away but I felt better cleaning it. I admit that Shawn did warn us about the messy powder and his crew may have done some of their own cleaning, but you may want to do some of your own cleaning as well. Overall, our driveway and borders/concrete pad turned out beautifully, and we are happy with the job. Shawn was easy to work with and performed the job as he said he would. We would recommend Letendre Concrete & Design to others, and will keep him in mind for any future projects that we may have.

The project went well. Shawn came out twice to provide estimates, as we changed the scope of the project. Originally, we asked for a 45 degree angle for the sidewalk next to the driveway; Shawn suggested the curve. We really appreciated his creative ideas on our project. We were scheduled a couple of weeks out for a couple of days. The crew arrived on time on the scheduled date and completed the project in only one day. The driveway looks great! My wife was at home while they did the work. She commented: "Shawn and his crew worked extremely well together. They were very respectful and friendly. They had obviously worked together many times before and were very competent with their jobs, especially Shawn, Tony, and Howie (the bobcat operator). No one had to be told what to do, as the crew were all experienced at their jobs. They were very patient in answering my questions and providing information. I've already recommended them to another neighbor when that neighbor is ready to redo their own driveway!"

The stoop to our side door had fallen about 5 inches from it's original position creating an opening along the wall. With the heavy rains earlier this summer, rain was pooling along the basement wall and seeping through. We decided to replace the stoop and install a sidewalk. Due to the odd spring/summer a lot of the concrete companies I called through Angie's list were not taking bids until mid August (called middle to end of June). Hage even wanted to charge $25 for an estimate (which would be gladly reimbursed if they did the work) I called Letendre and Shawn said he could come out in a couple of days. Shawn gave us an estimate that was extremely reasonable. (we have had other bids in the past, but always felt cost was too high because we really never use that door or that side of the house) He told me he was pretty booked right now, but could probably do the work in mid August. I also pointed out some tuck pointing that I needed done on the otherside of the house. Shawn said they could do that to. Cost? He would just throw that in with the original bid of $2100. Unfortunately his crew showed up at the start of our recent horrendous hot spell (feels like temps of 100 - 107) All I can say is they did a fantastic job. Because we were a relatively small job Shawn and his crew did it in increments over 3 days. On their final visit they did the tuck pointing, cleaned everything up and even spread new dirt and grass seed in an area that previously just had weeds. (As I said, not concerned about that side of the house) One of he things that also impressed me, during the prep one of the crew hit the electric glass covered electric meter and it shattered. Shawn called me that night to inform me of the breakage, and told me if there was any cost involved, he would pick it up. He almost makes me wish we had more areas that needed concrete work.

Contractor and crew were on time and completed quality workmanship (all this in 100 degree heat.. All workers were extremely courteous and followed up to make sure I was satisfied with job. I must say they were competent, courteous and very consciencious. I would highly recommend them.
