B & D Construction Co LLC

I was very impressed with their level of professionalism and, even more, their attention to quality and customer service. It was an incredibly hot week when they did the work but they showed up as promised, explained exactly what they intended to do to solve our problem, and began work immediately. There was initially a cosmetic problem with the concrete but when we pointed it out to them their very first response was "If you're not happy, we'll do whatever it takes to solve your concerns." They came back the following day with their full crew, fixed the problem, and followed up to make sure it was to our satisfaction. It was. We were so impressed we asked for and received a very reasonable bid to add new sections to our patio. They came back and again completed it quickly, with a minimum of wear and tear on our landscaping. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing concrete work done.

I wanted a new front porch and had some ideas but wanted an expert opinion. I had originally called two other companies who did not return my call. I did get a bid from one other company but did not feel confident in them. I called B and D and spoke to Dave. I liked him right away. He came over and gave me great ideas about having it match my house and I felt very confident in hiring them. He even thanked me for calling and giving them the job! How unlike being ignored by the other companies. My porch is completed and I am very happy with it. It looks better than I imagined. Dave said he wanted me to be happy and I am. I had some trouble with my front door which had nothing to do with the new porch but he took his valuable time to try to help me with it and I appreciated that very much. I would definitely recommend this company.

+=It was perfect from bid to finish!!! We are extremely pleased with their response time, professionalism of staff, quality of work....all of it.

The overall experience was great. Dave can be a bit hard to get ahold of, but he's always been prompt returning my calls. I was amazed at how quickly they performed all of the work and how thorough he was, explaining in detail what he planned to do, how he planned to do it, and why it should be done that way. The finished product was fantastic.

WOW! I'm SO GLAD I hired B and D Construction to build a new walkway and small patio! I needed an approximate 10and quot; x 12' patio and a sidewalk about 30and quot; long. The site was steep slope, so not as simple as working on flat ground. The slope meant more materials had to be used. David was friendly, professional, and the job went quickly and smoothly. His crew of four or five young guys worked as if the job was choreographed! Every move they made was productive! No loud music, no cussing...just hardworking guys who knew what they were doing. Dave certainly went the extra mile! He had to remove a heavy firewood rack that was embedded in the ground, but didn't complain or tack on an extra charge. When I could not seem to lock my security gate, Dave immediately said, and quot;I'll take a look and see if I can fix it.and quot; The lock is working now. He also added a drain pipe under the new concrete from the downspout and a step at the end of the sidewalk. Neither were in the bid and I wasn't charged. Although not a part of the job, Dave probably saved my daughter's life! As Dave and his crew were beginning to pour concrete, my daughter and one of her friends were packing my daughter's SUV to drive to Wisconsin for dog shows. The top carrier had a stack of heavy, folded crates and inside was packed to the gills with crates and show dogs. Dave noticed that one of my daughter's rear tires actually was so worn on the side that metal was showing!! Had my daughter driven on the highway, a devastating blow-out was probably inevitable. I shudder to think what could have happened had Dave not noticed the defective tire. A new set of tires was installed immediately. THANKS DAVE! If you want the job done well for a very reasonable price and done by great contractors, you can do no better than B and D Construction! When I can afford to have more work done, B and D will have the job without hesitation!

The company representative called when he realized he forgot our appointment. I explained the work I am having bid and he gave me a bid over the telephone. According to other bids his verbal bid over the telephone was a little on the high side. The representative was very nice and pleasant on the phone. However, I joined Angie's List because I was having trouble finding people to show up when scheduled to perform bids and/or work. Even though the gentleman was very nice on the phone the fact that he failed to show up for my appointment disqualifies their company from getting the bid.

My experience with B and D Construction was very good. I worked primarily with Dave for the estimate, planning the job, and answering my questions. Once the work started, all crew members were easy to interact with, answered questions and worked with me to make small adjustments as the work continued. I was a little nervous as the written contract was not very detailed and I am much more comfortable with details. But, they did not ask for money up front, but to be paid in full on the day of completion. I was put to ease by working with Dave. He is very respectful in how he communicates and honest in recommendations. He made adjustments as the work progressed on the new posts for the porch at my request. He also made recommendations on the aggregate finish choices. The crew paid attention to the grading of the patio for proper drainage away from our house. This has proven to work in the first few months since installation. The piering/posts looks good, and it is nice not to worry about this structural item anymore. The new patio looks beautiful and we are enjoying it very much.

We live on a very long, winding driveway. Its blacktop and it has curbs. We are getting a sidewalk and a 10' by 12' concrete pad done. This will be a new installation. Our experience with them has been really good; just fine. So far, I definitely would use them again.

It was a piece of cake...see the service performed.

These guys are great! Dave and his team have a totally customer focused can-do attitude. I had a room size area in a basement that needed to be filled with concrete, Dave addressed all of my concerns which made me feel very comfortable and the quality of the work was excellent.

Overall my expectation were exceeded.

B and D Construction did a great job and we are so excited about our new patio! The team was fast, professional and cleaned the job site up very well. Highly recommend them if you need concrete poured. Thanks Dave! ~ Eli and Dan

Dave came out and gave me an estimate. I told him do the the job when he can work it in since it was such a small job and it was during the winter. It was a couple of months and I called him and told him I needed it done becuase I had tenents moving in. He came that Saturday, dug and set forms. He couldn't get concrete on Saturday so he came out on Wednesday and poured. It rained Monday and Tuesday. I went by the job site after I got off work to inspect it. It's turned out great. He forgot to mail me the invoice and called me for payment. He sent the invoice and I sent him a check. It was an easy deal. Dave does great work.

I hired him in April and he came right away to give an estimate, but he didn't do the work until August. I had to have a tree removed and I didn't want the new patio to be ruined by the tree removal. One thing that I really liked about him is that the contract says that you pay 50% up front, but he also adds that you don't pay anything until he actually shows up for the project. He was very easy to talk to and he listened to me while I was deciding exactly what I wanted. He also did a lot of other home repairs for me as well and was priced reasonably. We have a privacy fence that has been there for about 30 years and I told him I wanted to replace it. He let me know that I should keep the and quot;uprightsand quot; in since they are not made the same way anymore. I was thinking plastic, but he recommended a different material. When they came for the project he realized that he needed to replace a lot more, but he stuck with the original quote. I really liked working with him. He was just a really nice man. He was cost effective and efficient.

Dave and his crew did a great job. Dave is very easy to work with, and very flexible as well. Our front walk was replaced in an aggregate concrete. Dave brought over various samples for me to choose from, and let me take my time in making a decision. The concrete was poured on a hot day, and as such one section set up too quickly and didn't expose correctly. Dave replaced the entire walk at his cost so that it would look right, and match. I can't say enough good things about him and the ethical way in which he treats his customers. I was so pleased with his work that I ended up paying him a little MORE than our agreed upon price (and in fact, he tried to turn down the extra money several times before finally agreeing to accept it). You will not be disappointed with his work... I would highly recommend him.

It was all quick and it turned out perfectly. I would recommend them.

I contacted Dave Twidwell about the middle of July after installing drainage pipes. He came and gave me a bid the next day and explained that due to the extremely hot weather and work load back up it would take about six (6) weeks before being to do the work. I was in no real hurry and agreed to a six (6) week wait. As promised, six (6) weeks later, Dave called and informed me that they would start the job on Thursday, 9/1/11 at 08:00 am. They came on time and completely doug out the area and hauled off all the excavtion, then completely cleaned up the area. The next day 9/2/11, they came back and formed up the area and compacted a gravel base in preparation for the concrete. Dave explained that they would not be able to pour the concrete until the following Tuesday due to the holiday weekend (Labor Day). On Tuesday 9/6/11 they were back and completed the job plus removed all the forms then completely cleaned up again. I would recommend B and D construction to anyone looking to have concrete work done.

Based on all the positive reviews on Angie's List, I couldn't help but add them to the bidder's list. I called to request an appointment for them to come look at the job. It took a few days for Dave to get back to me but eventually set up a date to meet. He was on time for our meeting. He was very open and thorough in describing what he provides and how the work would be done. Also he mentioned that he does a 5and quot; pour as a standard which peaked my interest. He said he also uses a walkbehind bobcat instead of a full size bobcat in order to excavate. This also peaked my interest as that would cause less yard damage. After my meeting with him I was convinced he would be the man for the job. He told me he would call me with some numbers and if I like them, he would then formally write up the quote. And.....that's the last I ever heard from him. I never received a quote. With all the positive review and the good feeling I had about them, I would probably give them another shot at a job. But obviously they have to quote the job if they want it. I am not going to hunt down contractors to get quotes.

Since Dave was working on another project at the time and I knew he did good work, I had him fill a hole with cement under my front porch to prevent rain water from seeping underneath it and he also sealed two cracks on the porch to prevent water from leaking.

Dave came out and quoted the project. Compared to the other quotes from another company, he was asking for far less money. Then he drew up the plans and submitted them for a permit. The first time, the city rejected the permit plans and required modifications to them. Dave then told me he wouldn't charge me for the extra amount that was required to modify the plans which I am thankful for. He then tore down the old porch, and then poured the concrete. Then the porch was built including a ceiling fan. The project took about a month mainly because of the time for the permit and the constant raining here in St. Louis during May 2011. He even reseeded part of my lawn around the edges of the porch which is above and beyond what I would have expected. The porch is solidly built that it's probably more sturdier than my house it's attached to.

I stay in touch with the guy and seek advice when I need it. I will use them again in the future.

I'm not sure they knew what they were doing. The place is still leaking under the carport, even though they came out twice additionally to try to fix it. They told me that once it dried, the filler would turn light. It's still dark and has cracks in it; it's obviously still absorbing water. For the sidewalk they had to come in a second time because what they used to fill it didn't hold up. This all happened in less than a month after they first did the repairs.

They were great. They called us right back, scheduled a time to visit and showed up early. He offered suggestions and gave us some inside information regarding concrete work. We didn't select them because we had a better chemistry with another company. But they were my 2nd choice if the first did not come through.

The owner, Dave Twidell, came out promptly, did the work himself and made sure that everything looked perfect! In fact, our patio looks brand new. He even powerwashed some brick and siding for free too. Dave really cares about the quality of the jobs he takes on and strives to ensure that all his clients are happy before, during and after a sale. You don't get that with most of the companies out there. When we researched companies to design and install a patio 2 years ago, B+D came not only with the best price, but also provided us the most value for our money. We saved enough back then to even have B+D install a french drain and bury our downspouts too.

Good experience. Professional, cleaned up after work, followed up.
