Description of Work: They cleared the yard of grass, created the form and poured gravel. |We wanted colored concrete so it had been colored a light brown. We chose a pattern to be stamped in the concrete so that was done. Later a grey powder was spread over it. This was left to set overnight. The next day the powder was sprayed off leaving a beautiful old stone like appearance to the concrete. We are receiving lots of compliments. |

Description of Work: They put a new slab in. However, never reinforced window wells. Window wells started to break and 4 years later the stone base came through the window wells. Being the expert and doing it right, he would have replaced window well support. I filed a claim with the BBB and he never responded. Said he was going to come out and fix it on two different occasions and never did. Never returned or answered phone calls for warranty follow up. | |

They just did a great job. They had it completed when we needed it done. The people next door saw that we were getting it done and they used them too. The workers were perfect and very friendly. Everything is holding up perfect and there are no problems.

The work was performed exactly on the specified days. As instructed, we watered the driveway twice a day for three weeks to slow the curing process. We waited four weeks until driving an automobile on the newly installed driveway. We allowed no trucks on the driveway and hired a small pickup with plow to plow the snow off in the winter. The plow driver was instructed to not scrape the snow down to the concrete and not to drop the blade on the driveway. Based on the plow marks, it seemed our plow driver complied with our requests. Nine months after installation, after the first thaw that revealed the concrete surface, we saw three major cracks, the longest being about 30 feet and spanning three sections. In addition there were chunks of concrete broken off from the edges of the sections where the saw marks are. The owner of the company was contacted. He expressed surprise that the driveway cracked and had major chips. Subsequently, a few months later, his company applied a latex sealant between the garage pad and the driveway pad. For a fee, he offered that his company could put a sealant on the entire driveway. Whle I can see perfectly well that the construction proposal contract states that Specialized Concrete does not warranty spalling, cracking and displacing of the concrete - I guarantee that I would not have chosen this company to perform the work had I know that this would be the end result. I am often brought to tears when I walk on the driveway and see the cracks and chunks missing. My husband and I both work full time jobs and saved for over two years to be able to afford this new driveway. Something went terribly wrong with what should have been a nice driveway. Specialized Concrete does not seem to have the know-how or willingness to offer any reasonable solutions. A new concrete driveway is a major purchase. We felt we had done our due diligence and selected a company that had the ability to do the job right so the driveway would last for years. We are immensely disappointed and cannot recommend Specialized Concrete for driveway replacements.
Description of Work: Tear-out, haul away and dispose of exisiting Asphalt driveway. Reinstall new concrete driveway using 6 1/2" sac mix 5" to 6" thickness throughout driveway and 6" thickness in apron with replacement of a 12" plastic culvert pipe and using a tamped stone base of #304 linestone/recycled concrete. Reinforced with concrete fiber mesh. Broom surface finish and saw cut.

Response from Specialized concrete and construction inc
If there is one thing that our company is known for, it is that we always go the extra mile to make the customer happy. We always want a satisfied customer. Bottom line. The cracks in this drive were hairline cracks. If you've ever done any homework on concrete, you will know that cracks are common and cannot be prevented. For this very reason, as specified in our contracts, we can not and will not warranty against cracking. Please note that the customer did state that she was fully aware of our contract and what it does and does not cover, signed it anyway, yet still let herself come to "tears" over it knowing that cracking was a possibility and beyond the control of our workmanship from the get go. We would certainly like to clarify that there was NO CHARGE for the sealant that was applied. The contract was followed thru exactly as specified and after the fact, we went above and beyond to follow up and make this customer happy with the complimentary sealant. We have since tried to follow up, and NEVER herd back from this customer. This is the type of customer that does not want to be happy and never will be, regardless of any effort on our part.

Everything went well except for making sure to lock the fence gate a few times. The owner communicated with his workers about this and it improved. My dogs were able to run away through the poorly fastened back yard gate just once and after that the crew was much more careful once Dan reminded them to lock the gate securely with a chain.
Description of Work: Specialized did all my lawn care last summer. The are quick and neat and do an excellent job. Dan, the owner is great. He communicates very well and cares very much that you are taken care of. Some of the best outside help I've had with my house. I did inquire about some foundation work and wanted to compare the style of repairs suggested with others in my area. I found that I needed more extensive repairs than suggested so I opted to continue their lawn service and wait on the concrete work for now. They were courteous and professional about my decision to wait.

They did a good job. The price was very fair. The only complaint is that they were supposed to come back to clean up and put the landscaping back in place which they did not do. They were very responsive and punctual.
Description of Work: I used them to waterproof the basement and to excavate the outside of the house.

Good customer to work with. Pays on time. Just some miscommunication at the end of the job. They have continued to request estimates for future work with our company and we would be happy to do business again.

This was a disaster. What a waste of time waiting for the work to commence, thinking it was 'handled' and then getting dumped.
Description of Work: I contacted this company, DBA as Specialized Concrete, Inc., in the spring of 2009. According to the listing of services at the time, and the business card left at my home, the company did brick, stone and masonry work as well as concrete repair. I requested an estimate on repair/replacement of the front porch and steps of my house, which are brick and sandstone. A person called in advance, came out, and provided a written estimate in a very professional manner. I signed and returned a copy of the estimate indicating that I was contracting with Mr. Sizler for the work at the price given. No one followed up. Weeks went by with no response. One evening, out of the blue, a subcontractor arrived at the house. He told my partner that we needed trenching around the foundation of the house, as well as replacements for the entrance and steps. He indicated that he "didn't want to do anything just cosmetic" about the old, leaky stone porch. His estimate: over $7,000. I returned with a copy of the estimate for the work: $1,500! He said he hadn't seen the estimate, got in his truck, and left. We've never seen or heard from anyone in the company since. I still have a signed contract with this outfit, for work they've never done.

Response from Specialized concrete and construction inc
We never had a signed contract from this customer. This ENTIRE review is some sort of miscommunication, which is unfortunate because we've been given an F for something we NEVER contracted!!!!! This customer states that they have a "written" contract, however we do all of our estimates, contracts, and billing thru our computer invoicing program on our company letter head!! This customer obviously has our company confused with someone else's. Is there a way for someone at Angie's List to view and compare their estimate or contract with one of ours and remove this false review that is tainting our reputation??
