I am not happy at all with the work. I will need to start over and have someone else tear out the concrete patio that LJI Cement poured just a couple years ago. Very shortly after LJI poured the concrete it cracked in multiple places and started crumbling. I called John at the time and he said all concrete cracks. I've been trying to have him come out and fix the issue for the past couple years but John has either been unresponsive or promised to show up and never does. I ended up having the news crew from TV Channel 8 "call for action" section bring up this issue, John contacted me right away after this but then never followed through. It would be very nice if John actually stood behind his work and fixed the issue. If nothing else, I want others to know of my experience before looking to hire John Levkulich and his business, LJI Cement & Waterproofing.
Description of Work: I hired John and his company to install a concrete patio.

we received an estimate for the addition of a concrete pad on our driveway. 10x20. we are not going to have the work done yet, but were very impressed with John's experience, professionalism and communication skills. He provided a detailed professional estimate and then an estimate with a revision that we had requested promptly via email.

Description of Work: Replaced 2 cement blocks and a drain. Also fixed another cement block. When the job was complete I didn't like that the one cement block that was not replaced was white while the other 2 where a light grey. I called John and told him I was unhappy that they did not match and he came out that same day and re-did the white block to make it a darker color to match better.

John worked with the city to get the permits. Turns out after digging the wall was fine. John called the city inspectors to show them. They approved the project after that. Turns out we need a sump pump to keep water away from house. He installed that and fixed all the concrete to the city's specifications. And he came in almost $1000 UNDER his quote. This guy and his crew were excellent. Always on time and did wonderful work. He could have easily charged me more than the quote with the extra work but said he charged me for the work performed. I couldn't be happier. Also he recommended a cabinet place that saved me $1000 on my kitchen cabinet.s! If you need waterproofing, concrete or plumbing this is the place to go. Honest and fair.
Description of Work: John quoted me on fixing a cracked foundation wall and waterproofing that side of a house I'm renovating. The foundation crack was a violation and we wanted it done right to be able to sell the house.

John was great. He was very prompt with returning calls. He and his crew showed up as they said they would and completed the job in a timely manner. His pricing was very competitive. We plan on having him back next year to redo the cement in our garage and driveway.
Description of Work: They repaired cracks in our cinder blocks and on our cement front stoop. We also had a portion of our cinder block foundation knocked out of position by another contractor and these guys did a great job putting it back where it belonged and repairing all the cracks.

John and his team did an outstanding job! I would highly recommend LJI for any concrete work. After contacting John, he came out the next day, gave me a very fair estimate for the work and a more than reasonable time to complete. Jeff, Steve, and Benny were on time, professional, personable, and efficient in their work. In addition to installing new concrete, part of the job was to power wash the exiting driveway; John went above and beyond ? he not only power washed the drive, but also the sidewalk in front of the house. All the work looks great and we could not have been happier working with LJI.

There were three people I asked to call me. One did call me back and he was very responsive. He didn't do any work for me. He did call me and talked to me. He came over and looked at it. I submitted something on a Sunday and he responded to me within 10 minutes. I thought the responsiveness was outstanding. I talked to him the next day and he came within 24-48 hours to look at my stuff. He had somebody come out to look at what I wanted to be fixed because he couldn't figure it out. The guy never came, so I decided to ask some other people that knew stuff about the cement and they came in to fix it for me. I really don't want to blame him because he was really responsive.

I haven’t had any problems with the work and I would recommend the guys. The plumber was really good. The money was worth it. They did pretty good. I don’t know what plumbing costs and maybe that was reasonable. They were fine. I don’t remember most of it but I don’t remember having a bad experience either. I probably offered the guy a beer and he didn’t take it. One thing, where I live, people think I live pretty far out but it only took thirty minutes for them to get here, so I would use them again.

John's explanation of my problem and sensible solution made him the hands down choice for my repair. I had other companies trying to convince me to let them dig a trench inside my basement and install a sump pump. I kind of scratched my head and said, gee, we're going to just let the water continue to flow into the basement? Didn't make good sense to me. John and his crew were honest, trustworthy, hardworking and quite frankly a lot of fun to be around! He communicated with me constantly and his estimate dollar and time wise was right on. I got a real education from this process and was just appalled at the corners that were cut originally. I wouldn't purchase a new home without having John inspect the foundation. I trust him that much!
Description of Work: Substandard construction practices lead to the breakdown of the drainage system around my home. Drain tiles were placed with the holes up and not a stone in sight resulting in pipes that were packed solidly with clay and no shot for proper drainage. Pressure from the ground also pushed one of the walls in off of the foundation. My basement flooded in May of 2006. John and his crew rebuilt the damaged wall and layed new drain tile and stone on two of the three walls. One wall had to be trenched by hand beyond a certain point to salvage my deck. That cost was negligible in contrast to the cost of rebuilding my deck.

I originally called Tim's Brickworks to have the front corner drain tile replaced on the front corner of the house. John came out...who was actually a contractor to Tim's Brickworks....they did a good job...but the major qualm I have is that the estimate for the job was about $1000 less than what it ended up costing me. I was quoted $7200 to do the side wall and back wall waterproofing. This included excavation repaving the old walls installing clean-outs. The original reason I called out to get an estimate was to fix the front corner of my house..the drain tile specifically....not that it was intentional...but John didn't disclose that he was not going to go around the corner of the front until after he had a trench dug around have of my home and he could do the rest for $1000 more. I accept some of the responsibility for this because we renegotiated the work to be done several times before they were to show up on site. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING IN WRITING!
Description of Work: Excavation, repaving, and taring of back, side, and front (up to stoop) wall of home. Removed old courtesy walk and put in a new walk. Broke out bottom step of front stoop. Installed new drain tiles with clean outs on three walls of my home. Disconnection of the air conditioner was required to excavate...the service to disconnect and reconnect was required.
