Awful. Too painful to go into detail. Work was sloppy, didn't last, rude customer service. One thing I do feel obligated to share is that when there is warranty work (work that the company admits needs to be repaired), they require you to sign something saying everything else is fine, and that you won't review them. Took me an entire summer to talk them out of that provision. I now have a cracked step but I'm going to live with it rather than having to deal with them again. (Step had already been repaired and they assured me it would be fine, but it wasn't).

CCS came in and ripped out all the old concrete (stoop, steps and sidewalk) and replaced - all in one day! The new stoop looks great and so do the new, wider steps. Basing just on quality of work, I would give this company an A, however long story-short, they never pulled a permit (in my city this is required for concrete work attached to the foundation of your home). After much back and forth, they finally pulled the permit and paid for it. For potential customers, make sure the permit is written into your bid to avoid a ton of hassle.

I contracted with Custom Construction Services in the Autumn of 2017 to install a concrete walkway and driveway. The install took place in October of that year. After the Winter of 2019, I noticed literally hundreds of indentations on my driveway. Almost the entire driveway and sidewalk is covered with these unsightly divots also known as pop-outs. These will only get worse over time. I contacted CCS in early March and inform them of this problem. They came out and took pictures. From this point onward CCS has been almost indifferent to this problem. They make promises about an alleged new driveway replacement but they never follow thru. Their current fallback position is that they are testing the concrete. These so called tests have been going on for almost 2.5 months. They are constantly giving me the runaround; perhaps they just lack the resources to back up their work or there are more lucrative opportunities to follow up upon first, but whatever the reason, CCS attitude has been indescribably unprofessional. So, look at their pretty pictures that they put on their website and elsewhere, but if you encounter quality issues, do not expect them to respond in any meaningful way. I have made every effort to extend them more time but I am now compelled to take legal action as they refuse to commit to a replacement. Fortunately, my job only cost $6500.00 but if you're contemplating an elaborate project I would look elsewhere. Good luck!!

very responsive, quick work - overall great to work with. There were many details about transiti areas that didn't get specifically ironed out in advance, a I needed to manage myself with workers on site and make adjustments. Would like for them to pay a little more attention to those transitional details which create a major impact. One of the "stress breaks" is crooked and there is pretty noticeable uneven coloring in one area. Not sure these can be fixed. Those are some specific areas of improvement needed.

The company contacted me quickly to arrange a time to give an estimate. The representative arrived on time and was very pleasant. He looked at my foundation wall and told me that the block was sound, but the mortar was a little weak and would benefit from repointing. He offered that they could do the job, but given that it was only one wall, he thought it was something I could do myself. He did not think that there were any structural or water issues with the wall. I really appreciated his honest evaluation.

If you want a professional job, this is your pick. They showed up promptly at 7am and worked steady through the day and completed everything by 5pm. Excellent looking work, good job site clean-up. They took special care to work around a stone garden wall we had installed. Would highly recommend.

They did a great job! They worked quickly and efficiently to tear out the old steep ugly steps, and build safer, more attractive stairs. Sean, the foreman, was open to listening to our ideas and making it work. The job was done during bitterly cold weather, so they built plastic tents over the front of the houses and heated them for six weeks so the concrete could cure. The whole experience was was very positive and we are very pleased with the look of our new steps! The job was done on time and on budget.

It went great. Everything was done as planned in the time scheduled (I think it was 2 days, 3 at most) and the salesman was willing to negotiate on price to be more competitive than other bidders in order to win the job.
Description of Work: Tore out sidewalk and put down new concrete sidewalk from the street all the way to the back of an old Minneapolis fourplex, including a new set of steps for the back door. Also installed drain pipe to run under the driveway to prevent existing stormwater drain from emptying all over the driveway itself and washing the gravel away.

It went very well. They were easy to talk to and were cooperative. The finished product looked very nice.
Description of Work: A 14 foot by 18 foot stamped concrete patio was installed by our back door. The area was dug out and filled with class 5 sand and then 1/2 inch rebar was put in at 3-4 foot spaces. In the front a silica substance was put on our paver patio to prevent weeds from growing through the cracks. I forgot about a small walkway made of pavers and they did that also at no extra charge.
