Job went extremely smoothly. Sue in the office was a great communicator and Shane and his crew did an outstanding job. I am very happy with the quality of materials used, time it took to complete the job and most importantly how well the driveway turned out. I will be calling them back for a patio next Spring!

Great! The 3 guys were professional and knew what they were doing! They worked together from the beginning to the end. They did a great job and saved us a lot of money we didn’t have by repairing the step and sidewalk instead of replacing it all! Sue at able was the best customer service ever! She kept in contact with me and called me the day they were coming, she was great help! They cleaned up after you didn’t even know they were there! Thank you so much able concrete, an he 3 musketeers who saved my day!,

Having work done by Able in the past, I reached out to them to get an estimate for our front sidewalk which had sunk abut 3 inches. When I contacted Able for an estimate, they were out the next day unlike other contractors I contacted. Their price was very competitive compared with two estimates I had received for the job. When we decided to move forward with Able, they reached out right away confirming the work. Their communication was excellent and we are very pleased with the end result. Thank you Able - great work!

the railing was done in short order but the workmanship was not the greatest. It has been one year since it was done and the railing has a wobble to it and the cement which was done is now crumbling and I will have to re-cement the railing to make it totally secure.

I had questions regarding the landscaping so I called the office. The woman that answered the phone was very pleasant and answered all my questions. The owner, Dale, called me back 20 minutes later to follow up. Wow! I find that service hard to find these days. Looking forward to many years of enjoyment!!!

The price was great and dealing with Dale was easy. Everything looks good. They gave us a 3 year guarantee - so we will see. Since they kept to the estimate, showed up when they said they would - (had to reschedule 1 time due to a soaking rains on the first day setup), and cleaned up after themselves. All we can do is see if the slab stays put. Not if, but when I need concrete raised again I only need to make 1 call. Thanks Dale.
Description of Work: They raised a 8X10 concrete slab that was up against my foundation. It needed to be raised 3 - 4 inches on 1 side.

Terrible communication. Was a no show the first day they were supposed to show up. Had to call 3 times before I got a call back. Trouble with a previous job which was fine, but call me and let me know. Office people are useless. Either did not give messages or owner did not call me back. Set up another appointment and workers showed up. It was a fight tooth and nail to get the workers to follow the contract. Workers were supposed to cut out old deck footings. Rude workers said that didn't have to be done. Finally cut out old footings but then cut out section of new footings thinking the patio was going out to the new footings. Patio was supposed to be 8 x 20 which would have ended 8 to 10 inches in front of the new footings. Worker said I should have looked at the paperwork in the truck. Called owner the day this happened. Never got a call back. Finally called again a week later and he stated that the office people told him I did not want a call back. Patio looks good but it was a terrible experience.

Response from Able Concrete Raising & Pouring Inc
Sorry for your issues, but we couldn't start the project due to all the rain and you were informed of that, each time we rescheduled and got a crew out there it started to rain, I always called you back to explain and you always understood, there was a miscommunication with the exact size of the patio, but was soon corrected, and i did speak to you the following week on the phone regarding all of this, and at the end of our conversation you were fine and understanding, not sure for the bad review. But I'm sorry again.

The driveway and steps are just beautiful. Able also provides a 3 years warranty on all defects. We don't anticipate any. They use rebar and fiberglass mesh.
Description of Work: We recently hired Able Concrete to replace our old driveway. Dale Otto, our sales rep, came out within one day of calling and provided us with a competitive bid and years of experience. Dale promised the driveway would be in by the end of June. We were in luck. His team came early given the weather. The construction workers were efficient, fast, and gentlemen. What a nice crew of guys. I'm an old lady and I appreciated their consideration when discussing aspects of the project with me. After the sidewalk and driveway were laid, Dale was available for any additional questions I had. Able Concrete is always welcome at my home.

The process took a day to complete. Jack hammered the old broken floor and hauled it away. When removing the floor, part of the apron was damaged. They removed that also.Poured new concrete and apron. The forman stayed to complete the finish. Came back the next day and applied the sealant.

I let them know a month a head of time that I wanted the driveway replaced before a Graduation party we were having at our house. They had no problem working with the timeline that I provided. They showed up, got to work, and finished all in one day. I was a little concerned how they would handle pouring around the retaining wall blocks and it turned out wonderful! The crew was great to have around. Almost two years later the driveway still looks as good as it day they poured it.

We are new to Angie's List and now wish we had looked up Able Concrete before asking for a bid. Able Concrete were actually a recommendation / referral from another Angie's List contractor we really liked. Unfortunately our experience was really disappointing. Able Concrete were responsive with a bid ($450) and punctual on arriving to perform the work. Two Able Concrete employees came to complete the estimated job (leveling our front stoop which was sagging at one end). They drilled one hole and tried to perform the mudjacking procedure. I could see there was a problem because they stopped working and explained that they were consulting their boss for advice. The problem (sagging stoop) had not been fixed and rather the hairline crack that existed prior was now a quarter inch wide and raised from the original stoop concrete. I also noticed that a wooden pole and deck rail that sits between the stoop and the porch roof was no longer firmly attached (as it had been prior to the work beginning). The business owner (Dale) came out to look over the work. I asked him for his opinion on the cause of the problem (hairline crack now a quarter inch wide and raised / no improvement on the sagging stoop); Dale did not know the reason and could only speculate. He did suggest (to be honest it felt like an accusation) that the new crack must have always been there (could not have been caused by his team's work) and that we (the customer) had misled them and patched the stoop previously. Dale did not want to be held accountable for the new problem. We know the stoop has never been worked on during our ownership of the home (since 2009). What we had before they arrived was a sagging end and a hairline crack (nothing noticeable unless you were up close and certainly not raised or something one could trip over). Dale offered to drill a second hole in the concrete (to try and rectify the problem). After I asked him about the risks (and potential further issues) I inquired whether his business insurance would cover any additional damages to my home. The response I received was that it was not worth it to him (Able Concrete) at a bid price of only $450. This was very discouraging. Based upon the experience to that point (poor workmanship, communication, uncertainty about why the jacking didn't work and customer service), I decided to cease work with Able Concrete. I now have a quarter inch crack / an uneven stoop and the sagging problem remains. We will find an alternate contractor to help us with our problem. No money exchanged hands and Dale explained that we would not be charged. We are now left with a problem worse than we started with. Based upon this experience we cannot recommend Able Concrete to any Angie's List members.
Description of Work: We had Able Concrete bid and perform a mudjacking of our front concrete stoop; the work was stopped while partially complete due to concerns of the quality of workmanship.

Response from Able Concrete Raising & Pouring Inc
The customer called, we were quick to respond to get the bid done and always to actually schedule the work. The crew arrived to do the mudjacking on a already cracked and sunken stoop. After an hour and a half trying to lift and repair the sunken stoop the foreman called Dale (owner) who promptly drove out to the site. Upon meeting the owner who was at that point agitated and argumentative who wanted answers right when I arrived and I let her know that they are always different situations in every job that we don't have they were poured, if they are attached to something if they are siting on footings and that I was trying to come up with a solution to raise the stoop. Customer was still argumentative and questioned if it is unable to raise, and I explained to her that we should not go any further because she was concerned about any damage to house and caulking and asked me that if we went further if my business insurance would cover the damage. After her concern of us stopping the process she was concerned that I was going to just take her money. I told her that I was not going to charge her anything. I then told her I wanted to make her happy and I would try and do the job and if it turned out it would be FREE of charge to her if she took on the responsibility of any damages that may occur. she called her husband and they decided to stop and not take on the responsibility if something happened. I repeatedly told her she was not being charged and she kept asking about my insurance if I were to keep going. At that point I was already not charging her for the job I was not going to take on the responsibility of going forward with my business insurance on the line while she had the option of me continuing the job at no cost if she wanted to assume the responsibility, even though our contract states we are not responsible for cracks that develop when raising. a couple days later she called a competitor for a raising bid for her stoop and they told her they would try but "they would not be responsible for any damages that may occur" and she agreed to move forward with second attempt in raising her stoop, and they where also unsuccessful and left without charging her. I don't know were we went wrong or what else we could have done for this customer. I'm sorry both company's couldn't raise your sunken stoop, but don't feel you should taken it out on us. We are a repair company trying to help you and fix the problem to save you big money in replacement.

Horrible! This is a nightmare! The half raised slab became a trip hazard and caused water damage in my basement by breaking the seal between the foundation and patio door. At the time, I had a 4 week old baby to care for all on my own and was moving out of the country in 3 days. They wouldn't fix the slab properly and told me to fix it myself. I am renting out my townhouse and my tenants are threatening to move out because of the water damage in the basement. I risk going into foreclosure if they move out. Dale from Able Concrete was very unsympathetic to the situation and actually told me that I needed to pay an additional $100 to fix the problem! This is a very unethical company. Please find another service provider for your concrete needs. I don't want to see anyone have the same problem I am having.
Description of Work: I asked that the entire cement slab outside my patio door be raised. They cut it 5 inches out from the door in half! Water accumulated on the section that they did not raised and caused water to seep into my basement. Now I have to replace the carpet and pay another contractor to fix the slab. Able Concrete was very uncooperative when I asked that they fix the problem. They said it was my fault for not filling in the lower section with cement myself. They refused to refund my money and responded to my emails in capital letters. They said that they had a recorded conversation and they would see me in court!

Response from Able Concrete Raising & Pouring Inc
You contracted with Able Concrete Raising to have our company look at your back patio. You received the estimate on 6/3/2014 as follows "Raise the slab at the back patio door as high as possible under the door" and called us 6/30/14 and pretty much demand that we get the job done right away because you were moving out of the country.(Note: When an estimator writes "high as possible" that means as high as allowable- pending any obstructions beyond our control. i.e. the threshold of your door) We did the job on 7/2/14. At the time that our foreman was at your property, he had called and talked to you to explain that the slab was raised as high as possible, per our contracted agreement. There was still a back pitch toward the patio door and the only way to alleviate this is to saw cut back from the patio door which would create a gap but allowing the patio to raise up higher since the threshold of your door was preventing us from raising the slab any higher. The foreman explained to you that if he were to cut that area (which is typically an additional charge that we would charge-but we didn't) that you would be responsible for patching in that gap created with concrete to prevent water from getting in that open area. You said do whatever you need to do to get that slab up as you were having water issues in the basement already and that you just had to make your tenants happy and you were moving out of the country, that you would take care of the patching. On 8/27/14 (over a month later) you contacted us that you were still getting water in the basement and you confirmed with our office that YOU did not patch that area, as you agreed, because you were leaving the country and now it was Able Concrete Raising's problem. In a phone call you had asked us to help you out with your problem because you were out of the country and did not have money to fix this problem, that had been an existing problem over time, which had to do with the slab being at the bottom of your hill along side your house allowing all rain water to filter towards that area. After your threatening emails that you would ruin our company through social media, and because you were living out of the country and were taking care of your new born child on your own after many conversations with Dale, as a courtesy we said we would come out and tear out your patio slab for free, which we did the next day! Able Concrete Raising, we feel, went above and beyond to find a resolution for our customer in a very timely matter. In conclusion, Able Concrete Raising feels that we were taken advantage of due to your hurry of moving out of the country and now being to blame for an existing water damage issue that you have been dealing with over time. We are also still feeling the backlash of your social media reviews after your agreed to this resolution. You placed blame on our company for a water issue that has been accumulating over years.

They damaged part of my garage door opener (the sensors), which was verified by a garage door specialist when I had someone come out and take a look. The damage came while they were doing the concrete work for me. When I informed able of the problem they refused to take responsibility for it. I even told them to be careful because I identified this as a possible problem.
