Lews Concrete Const LLC

Lew's Concrete Construction is truly a professional company. Tony did what he said he would do and did it when he said he would do it. Tony worked along with his son and other employees to produce a great finished product. They removed and replaced the concrete floor of a double garage and an adjoining section of driveway, sidewalk and door step. They worked 11 hours in one day to complete the project. Their equipment was newer and well maintained. I highly recommend Tony and this company. John in Kearney

This group is amazing. Prompt, careful, quick with estimates, and affordable pricing. Our slab for the garage looked like a perfectly shiny table top. It was so well done, I hated for them to put anything on it! They came back several months later when the garage was done to pour our driveway and they worked with us on the shape and taper toward the road. They were very professional and just really nice people. Highly recommend!

Terrible. The bid was made by the owenrs son, (not sure he should be doing this) included what we discussed and what I wanted. But from the first day they showed up, things changed. What they contracted to do, they now said they could not do. INstead of 10 foot steps and a retaining wall where teh old was was, they framed 5 foot steps, and footings for a wall that protrudes into teh padio area. They decisded that tehy could not do teh pool coping, odfferd a solution, changed their miond, offered another, changed their mind and reverted back to the second offer which was not what I contracted for. They damaged virtually every sprinkler head, even thouigh they were clearly marked, and I asked and they agree to be careful, damaged my spa, and continuosly destroyed shrubs and plants that were not in their way. The biggest issue with all tjhis is that they never tell you. They try to hide their mistakes. One of tehir team actually used my back yard as his toilet!!! Their forman (I think) his name si Terry (I beleive) thinks he knows everythign and if you don't take his word as Gospel he gets snarky and nasty and totally unprofessional. When I complained numerous times over the various damages and activities, they snuck into my yard early this morning, without my knowledge, and removed everything, including the coping that was attached to my pool, severly damaging my frame and liner, not to mention leaving my yard a total mess, and walked off the job and left me hanging. This is after I gave them $10,000.00 advance BTW! Run away! Run Away quickley from these people!!!

The bid was very reasonable and they showed up on time. However, the owner obviously had other projects going on and was only on our property part of the time. Another less skilled worker was here all the time. The first (and only ) day was the digging/forming/pouring of the footing/foundation wall. It was very poorly formed and was done in a great hurry. The result was concrete squishing out from underneath the forms all over the ground. When the forms were removed, there were air pockets and a lot of the rebar was exposed. The forms were also not properly supported and measured for accuracy so the walls are uneven and a 20'x24' pad is now 20'x24'6". We saw this as a picture of what was to come and told them not to come back. We paid them for what was done and have hired someone else to come pour the pad. The owner wanted to come back and make things right but we were unwilling to do that. I feel the owner knew how to do the construction but was in too big of a hurry to do it right. I would not recommend them to anyone.

The service went wonderful; the workers were good; the price was very good & reasonable.

Excellent! We gave Terry at Lew's some idea of what we wanted, what our budget was, and then asked him to design the patio. His vision ended up beautiful and even better than we could have ever imagined! Our friends and family have been amazed at how it transformed our backyard into a true outdoor living space. The crew was professional and worked quickly, but with an attention to detail such as a stamped border around the outside of the patio. Terry made sure that any questions we had during the process were answered. You can tell that they take pride in their work!

Tony gave me, the homeowner, an excellent bid on this work. He showed up within minutes of when he said he would. He brought all the equipment and supplies needed to complete the project, no running around trying to find a forgotten item. He has a great, hard working, professional crew. Excavating and footings poured on day one. On day two the floor is poured and sealed as well as the site graded and cleaned up. I am completely pleased with the price and quality of his work. I'm confident my little project was completed with the same quality and professionalism he would have for a large commercial project.

Please beware of this company. We received several quotes to have a concrete patio poured and selected Lew's as one of their selling points was they would be able to complete job before a certain time period. Well due to the rain they were unable to make that appointment which is understandable. They rescheduled for a week later as long as weather was okay. Well, the weather held up very well and ground was dry. Even contacted one of the employees on a social media website to ask for something additional when they came out 3 days later. He indicated that they would be able to accommodate and were still planning on coming out as long as there was no rain. Well, that day comes and they do not show. After finally getting a hold of someone several hours after they were to come, I find out they decided to take another job that day and I would not get the patio poured that day. In fact, I would have to wait a couple more days, when rain was again in the forecast. Their explanation was they had a contract and would get a penalty if they didn't do that other job that day. No call, no show. I had to track them down myself to get this information. This was red flag #1. Since they were still able to get the patio in that week we decided to let them still do it as opposed to selecting out backup contractor which was 30 days out. The next scheduled day it was of course raining so they pushed it out one more day. When that day comes they started the digging and setting the form. This is where the real problems began. Part of what we asked for when doing this is to have all of the old dirt and topsoil removed and hauled away. This was something they said they did in the bidding process as they had to level the ground and put down gravel to support the concrete. They ended up just pushing the dirt and sod along the edges of the form which made it look like a mound with an aggressive slope. As I did not want this, I asked them to remove that dirt as that was what I originally asked for. My yard was still in good shape at this point, except the 3-4 feet around the concrete form. During this dirt removal, they proceeded to decimate the rest of the backyard with their heavy equipment. They shrugged at the damage and said they would bring out some dirt to backfill. This was 100% unnecessary for them to have to bring in the heavy equipment to do this if they would have removed the dirt as they were digging instead of push to another section of my yard. Additionally, when they were finished destroying the yard to remove the dirt that should have been removed in the first place, they threw plywood boards on the side of our brand new house which required touch up painting. It surely did not seem they were interested in respecting our property. So all of this was on a Thursday before 4th of July. They were not able to get the form placed in time before it started raining again so they couldn't pour. The catch was that the concrete mix wasn't able to be delivered on Friday since they were closing that day. So basically, I had a tore up yard for the entire holiday weekend. My guests got to see all of the damage. They came out the following Monday to pour. However, they did not do what they quoted us. In our quote we were supposed to have a darker color stamped border that would have needed to be poured first. They actually poured it all at once and then stained the top of the border. Since I was landscaping up to the edge of the concrete i also needed the sides to be the same color as the top of the border. When bringing this up to Terry one of the owners, he said no one ever pours the border first and they do not do a separate integral color. This is interesting because our quote specifically says that they were going to pour the border first and it would be a different integral color. He was not able to understand so he started threatening us with a lien on the property if we didn't pay. At this point, we decided to cut our losses and just pay them so they would leave. After looking at the concrete, there is already a crack forming (8 days after pouring), several pits, the colors are not even throughout, there are scuff marks, dimples, etc. Terry states that that is normal, that you would never have the same color throughout when using colored concrete and there are always going to be imperfections. I've seen many patios using different types of colored or stamped concrete and have never seen the types of imperfections of color discrepancy as what they have done. This was a very expensive lesson for us. In the future we will create contracts that specify exactly what is to be done with finished product expectations. In short because i know this is TL;DR, if you ask Lew's to get a bid to you and you select them for your work. Be sure to have them go over the quote with you so there is no chance they will get away with shortcuts once the job begins. Get everything from prep to finished product expectations in writing. This is the worst contractor we have ever had in terms of customer service, accuracy, and quality of work. We have has many contractors from landscapers to deck builders out at our new home and all of them except for Lew's actually did the job they were paid to do, correctly.

In addition to delay start, every single concrete footing was cast in the wrong place. Also, the layer of rock under the concrete and steel rebar was not done correct. In some area there is no rock packing. I had to put stop on pouring the concrete until they cover all the area with rock and also did the 2x2 rebar mesh properly. When we start constructing the decks, we had to dig, rebar and pour additional concrete to account for the error in the location of the concrete footings. According to Code, the center of the Deck 6x6 post should be very close to the center of the concrete footing (within the inner 1/2 center of the concrete footing. In some cases, the center of the post was on the edge of the concrete footing. Lews concrete were provided with drawings of the project but that meant nothing. As a result of this mess up, the projects was delayed significantly because they were the subcontractor not the main contractor.

I contacted 10 concrete contractors from Angie's List. To pour a patio and sidewalk. All but Lew's either did not return my call or did not show up to do an estimate. Tony from Lew's show up on time to give an estimate. His price was in the range I expected. When I called tell him to go ahead. His crew showed up the next day and started. The work was complete on time. Their work looks great.

They would get an A on speed. They took me right away. They did a good job except when they embedded marks on my driveway that had not been removed. It is almost impossible to remove. He did not call me back when I called about this issue.

Tony and his crew were great. They were responsive to my calls, and were punctual and stayed committed to the time frame agreed upon. They removed the old sidewalk that was tilting toward the house and replaced with a new front sidewalk from the front door to the the driveway. It looks amazing. I love it. I would recommend them to all my friends and neighbors. I was really happy with the finished product.

The work was A+ and they did good work. The cost was comparable to the other bids we received. We worked with Tony. The day he came into work he all the correct tools and items and finished the work in about 3/4 of a day.

Tony coordinated it and all went very well. Completed in one day just as he planned. I'm happy with end result and recommend highly them.

Quality of the product was very good. The responsiveness of scheduling the work was challenging. We had to call on multiple occasions and had a couple of times they were going to come do the work and did not show.

Replace apron (bottom section) of driveway and wings, plus one section of sidewalk abutting driveway. Driveway looks great, professionally done. Not entirely happy with removal and replacement of grass and dirt next to new concrete. Don't really expect sod to grow in winter, even if cut out and rplaced as originally there, but might be an idea for contractor to keep a couple of bags of topsoil with the crew to use to backfill around work after done, as there is never as much dirt to put back as is taken out and the homeowner is left to buy soil and seed to restore the area adjacent to the work.

Performed the work quickly and did a very good job.

I t went very well. They showed up when they said and finished on time. They cleaned up any mess they made.
