Response from Concrete Specialists
OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ERROR. WE DID NOT DO THIS JOB !!! Due to weather, we did not work on May 26, 2015 and did not perform the service he states. This complaint needs to be removed from our profile !! Mr. [Member Name Removed] has the wrong company. We DO NOT place flex seal unless we do the accompanying concrete work.

Description of Work: I was very impressed with the service. There were time constraints I had. On top of that the weather did not cooperate so laying my driveway was a tremendous challenge. It had to have time to set and be able to safely support the weight of a moving POD. Somehow they were able to fit me in and I was able to have a POD delivered and was able to get out in time for a cross- country journey. By the way, the driveway looks really good. Many thanks. I am grateful to this truly professional caring company.

they installed stamped concrete to the front and back of my house, did an incredible job. They are very professional and do excellent work. I have already recommended them to friends who have seen my house and they loved them too!
Description of Work: installed stamped concrete and handicap access to several doors in the back of my house.
**All 3 jobs were performed at once. Job #1 Installed Driveway - MOST SEVERE - The driveway is not level in numerous areas. This has resulted in several major problems inside my house. Instead of flowing down the driveway into the street, rain water pools around the foundation and eventually seeps into my house. The standing water has caused SEVERE DAMAGE to wood flooring and cabinets inside of my house. I've had to remove flooring in two rooms that are next to the driveway. Job#2 Pergola (he actually has pictures of our FAULTY pergola on his website) 1) The roof on the pergola began leaking immediately after being completed. Since then, I have had to have the roof replaced because the water continued to damage the pillars. I had 2 estimates. Both individuals stated that the roof was put on incorrectly (upside down). 2) The Pergola was holding water because it was not built at the correct angle. So when it rained, water did not drain down the roof. Instead, it pooled on top of the already faulty roof. 3) Damage to the cedar pillars and structure are evident due to the water damage. The pergola will need replacement pillars/cedar planks due to the damage to the water damage. JOB # 3 Concrete Stamped Patio 1) Several major cracks developed in the concrete within months of installation - significant cracks are visible 2) The "stain" came off within a few months after being installed 3) The stamped patio is not level-causing water to sit on the porch after it rains Mr. Wendell Johnson was made aware of all these problems early on (months after installation) and continues put me off. My ex husband has noted all the times, "he will come by", and he has not. Since then, and after two years of frustration I began calling Mr. Johnson to work on a solution. Mr. Johnson does not answer calls and his replies to my emails/texts are: ?I will go by later?. "Later" has yet to happen. I am slowly repairing the damage his faulty work has caused and will seek legal counsel. Do not make the same mistake we made.

The owner of Concrete specialist is very friendly, very informative, and knows everything to know about cement slabs. Some problems did occur but I would use this company again and recommend this company to others due to the amount of knowledge, honesty, quality, and extremely fair price. Concrete specialist prices are unbeatable, I shopped around and they are extremely fair priced!

Our daughter was getting married at our wedding venue and we needed our parking area excavated and a large circular parking pad and sidewalk poured. Wendell came out right away and gave us a very competitive bid which we accepted. He and his crew showed up on schedule and did an amazing job. All I can say is and quot;Don't Use Anyone Else!and quot;. A friend of mine that has been building homes for over 30 years saw the work and immediately asked for Wendell's phone number.

'Overall, we are very satisfied with the work performed by Wendell Johnson and his crew. While we only had a general plan for our patio, Wendell helped us refine the plan, providing useful suggestions given the size of the available space and slope of our back yard. Wendell was on site the majority of the time the work was being performed and always responded to our phone calls in a timely manner. We were impressed with his knowledge and experience regarding concrete work and would definitely recommend his company.

It went so well, and his crew was so professional that everyone who comes and sees it including my architect wants his card. They are just overwhelmed at how nice of a job he did and how professional he was. It was a pleasure doing business with him.

Wendell and his crew did a very good job on the concrete and on the pergola - the patio looks great. There were a few issues with the wiring for the hot tub, but this was to be expected since Wendell specializes in concrete, not electrical. We would use Wendell again in a heartbeat for concrete work.

I had then install a foundation for a room addition to an outside cabana and a brick ledge. I also had them install colored stamped concrete all over my back yard, requiring removing some grass and making ramps to the doorways on three doors. I had them then install stamped concrete in the front and back covering up some concrete and especially the pea gravel that hurts your feet and is hot to walk on..... The job was done rapidly and very professionally. My architect specifically indicated that he wanted his card because of the quality of his work. Wendell is a man of his word and he does excellent work. My wife is very very pleased. "Happy wife, Happy Life" Dave
Description of Work: This is one quality professional. He manages his crew. The owner is on site during the work.

Excellent. Owner Wendell Johnson gave us a very reasonable proposal, explained his recommendations and educated us on the issue of silicone sealers vs. wood in the expansion joints. Wendell has a stable crew of years with him and oversaw the work personally. Additional work included putting sealer in the remaining concrete joints where the concrete was OK but the wood had deteriorated. In performing the work the crew observed a cracked sprinkler system pipe under a root which they replaced. We also asked Wendell about replacing some additional sidewalk panels which he said did not need replacement - a kudo for him. The work looks great, the job was performed professionally by a nice crew. We have no hesitation in recommending him.
Description of Work: Replaced 33' of driveway and about 20' of sidewalk

Wendell Johnson really knows his work and all about concrete! He enjoys what he does and it shows. Has a small crew but they work hard and get the work done. They were courteous, professional,always on time, and kept things cleaned up. Totally met all of our expectations in the finished product! Love my new stamped concrete patio !
Description of Work: Patio extension and stamped concrete
Wendell Johnson is the owner of Concrete Specialists, and he was on top of our project from the very beginning. I called to set up an appointment and he immediately called and set up a time to come visit us. I called for several other bids before I called Concrete Specialists, but once I talked to Wendell I knew he was the one I wanted to do the project. Since I just had an idea in my mind about what I wanted, he gave me lots of ideas and information before we started. At first, I thought that I would get him to do just the concrete work, but after talking with him I felt completely comfortable with him doing the whole project. He provided me with a concrete mix design that he recommended which detailed exactly the mix of the concrete and detailed reinforcement so that the pad would be strong. He provided me addition information about trusses and sent me reading material so that I could make decisions about what I wanted. He quickly gave me an estimate and a contract that detailed everything he intended to do. He divided the contract into two parts, so that I could elect for him to do only the concrete, or do the whole project. I had three other bids on this job, and no one gave me the personal attention to details that Wendell gave. Plus, his estimate was less that the others. He was able to start when I needed him to and his crew of 5-6 people worked very hard. I was amazed at what they could accomplish in the Houston heat. They were all very professional. Wendell was here to supervise and he even pitched in and helped a lot. If there was a question, Wendell had the answer. As the project progressed, he was great at accommodating any changes that I felt necessary. He saw improvements that could be made and he made them. When the project was finished, I could not have been more pleased. We paid exactly what he had quoted me and the carport is beautiful! I would highly recommend Concrete Specialists to anyone. Wendell is a good communicator and I was able to stay in close contact with him during the whole project.
Description of Work: #1Construction of a brick carport, 28' x 24'. Double Brick (inside and out), half wall with columns. Composition roof #2 Approx. 100 feet of sidewalks (3 ft wide) #3 Raise the floor in a single car garage to the level of the rest of my house, taking down a garage door and replacing it with an insulated brick wall. We wanted the brick, the roof pitch, and the brick design to match our existing home. I had a picture of a carport similar to what I wanted, but I did not have a blue print. I sketched out what I wanted and he took it from there. The carport and pad were built on a slope next to our house and attached to our current driveway, so the project required a lot of concrete. He also did beautiful sidewalks connecting the carport to other areas. The carport has a perimeter consisting of a half wall that is bricked 3 feet high (double brick inside and out). At five foot intervals there are 18' wide columns that area 8 foot high. There are also two large storage closets (8'x4'). He did the concrete work, the construction, the electrical, the roofing, the sidewalks, and the painting. He also did the concrete apron that flawlessly connected the skirt of the new carport to the existing drive. I could not be more pleased with the final project!

I watched this company work across the street and they seemed to do a good job and my neighbor was pleased with the work they did and their price. I called for an estimate and they were prompt and through with measuring and explanations. Then I change some of the scope of the work and the new estimate was prompt and they were courteous. Unexpected medical issues then happened to us and we were unable to follow through and do the work right now. They were still courteous and said they would be glad to do the work when we were ready. I would call them in the future.
