RASTER MASONRY

Both jobs went quite well and the cost was well within reason. Had other contractors I hired been so diligent and above board I'd be much happier. The 2008 footing work was excellent. As stated earlier, the crew was on time, worked efficiently, and did an excellent job. The 2010 floor slab job was quite similar (A+). Just as in 2008, they were punctual and professional. They revisited the cast slab attending to the finishing every two to three hours. The cured slab was flat and smooth such that I could lay linoleum tile directly on the concrete and not have to use a leveling compound. In sum, the work Raster Masonry did was excellent. I recommend them without reservation.

They arrived right on time per our prior agreement and worked with the concrete company (University Ready Mix). The Raster crew set up their Putzmeyer (love the name) concrete pump. It's on a trailer behind their truck. They ran hoses to pump the concrete to two sonotubes and the floor of a basement 'closet' that measures about 10 x 12 ft. The concrete truck arrived as if on cue, and the concrete was in place in less than ten minutes. Glenn and his man immediately went to work finishing the floor. They worked it at least three times, broke for lunch, came back and worked the floor again. Glenn was pleased with the work and said the floor would be fine in the morning and could be walked on then. Heavy loads would have to wait a few days. The surface is beautifully flat and smooth such that I can lay linoleum tile directly on the concrete. I just wish Raster Masonry had been available when the basement floor had been cast. The finisher that did that job left a ridge between the wall and a floor drain. There are also low spots that will need to be filled in with leveling compound. I'll have to spend several hours of quality time an angle grinder and spend about $400 on leveling mix before the floor is ready to tile. In conclusion, I highly recommend Raster Masonry.
