Southern Concrete Raising Inc

Was pleased with the information and education Rich provided.

They arrived on time - explained what they were going to do with equipment. Completed in a timely manner and did an excellent job.

The crew arrived on time and proceeded to do the work in a expeditious ,manner. They were obviously experienced and the work was done quickly and professionally. The only slight negative was that the equipment used was cleaned out in my driveway and residue from the concrete mix can be seen on the asphalt and concrete drive way. Hopefully the next rain will help wash this away. Other then that the work was excellent!

I spoke with Southern Concrete Raising a few weeks ago and told them I had a 12x24 concrete patio (screened in) and the patio was losing concrete due to the water run-off on both sides. John came out to look at everything, then called me with an estimate and explanation of what they would be doing. He told me how much it would be and I told him I had an Angie's List coupon and he gladly honored the coupon. We set a date for the work and the crew showed up promptly at 8:30 and the job was complete by 10:30. They showed me what they were doing during this process and when the work was done, they had me come out and inspect everything. I would gladly use them again!

Work crew showed up on time and assessed the instructions on work quote. We had to move our vehicles out onto the street before work began. They drill holes in the concrete and then pump a slurry into the holes to raise the concrete to the level it should be, with a bit of a slope to facilitate rain run-off. This was an amazing job to watch how they did it. Impressive. Total time on the job was about 5 hours. The crew cleaned up the entire driveway area; surprising, because today we are so used to crews just leaving their trash all over. Impressive work, and impressive clean-up. To give proper curing time, we could not drive the vehicles back onto the driveway for 48 hrs. See the attached pictures here of "before" and "after." The main part of the driveway was collapsed and now it's level. One other thing: the gaps between the concrete needed to be sealed and this company did not do it but they referred me to Kirk Services for doing that (which is another review). There are several other homes in the neighborhood who had this concrete raising work done and it looks just as good as mine, though I do not know what contractor they used for the work. Overall, I would highly recommend this company for this type of work; it is far more cost-effective than pouring all new concrete and the results are just as good.

i can't rate how this company performed. I called for an estimate and was told that someone would contact me, which they did. I was told that I would get a quote within 2 days -- no one ever called back. 5 days later i called back and someone took a message and then i never heard from them again.

After I phoned the company a representative came out the next day to explain their services and generate a project estimate. After accepting their estimate a crew was scheduled within three days. They completed the work in one day and did a thorough site cleanup. The project cost was 1/6 the price of replacing our concrete sidewalks.

We had noticed a void under our slab and after several calls, I was given John's number with comments that he was a good guy to work wtih. John did come out to look at the problem. He told my husband that he thought the city might be to blame and he would check and let us know. We were asking for a bid to fill the voids. Never heard from John again. I agree he obviously doesnt need the work.

l contacted this company on November 26 to get an estimate to level my sidewalk. Answering service took my phone number and said that someone would get back to me. Nobody called back that day so I called again on the 27th. Again, an answering service took my contact information and said that someone would get back to me. About 2 hours later, John called me back. I explained that I wanted to get a quote to level my sidewalk by grinding the sections that were pushed up by tree roots. John explained that they didn't do concrete grinding but could lift the adjacent sections to match the height. He said that he would be in my area on Wednesday, November 28 and would leave the estimate at the front door. As of December 3rd, I still have not received an estimate or call back. Seems that this company doesn't need any more work.

My driveway had sunk a few inches below the level of my house/garage over the past few years. It had gotten so bad that my car would scrape the concrete ledge as I pulled into my garage. I selected Southern Concrete Raising based on the reviews here on Angie's List. They were quick to come out and provide an estimate and were very professional. My only minor complaint is that the service crew showed up a little later that morning than they had said they would, but this was not a big issue to me. They got to work immediately and completed the job within around 6 hours. Now my driveway, entryway, and sidewalk are all completely level again. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing concrete raising work.

Arrived on time, leveled 3 large sections and left in about 4 hours and they left work area clean.

Nice job. A section sunk around a year later and they took care of it under warranty. I am very pleased.Level

Prompt, courteous interactions with all....estimator and work crew. On time and efficient. Left no mess to clean up. very accomodating with scheduling. Do make sure that you review the sketch of estimated work to be done. A little disappointed in the "patch" coloring...but otherwise repairs did fix the problem

SCR offered the lowest bid and was courteous and informative on the phone when I spoke with them. Though it was about three weeks from the time of the call to when they were able to come out, they called to verify the time was still good, were on time, did the job as requested and left without incident. I would recommend them to others and would call the again for future work.

They came out quickly after I called to give an estimate. Arrived on time. Estimate emailed promptly. Work was scheduled without difficulty and performed on the specified day. The completed result is excellent. The old parts that were leveled are draining water nicely, and the pale concrete spots left from the mud-jacking are minimal compared to some i have seen elsewhere in the neighborhood. John even gave me a tip on staining them, but really I don't need to. It started raining right after they were finishing up the concrete pour, and later a small crack developed along one edge. I emailed a photo, and the owner, Richard, contacted me immediately. He sent someone out that afternoon to repair it. The new section looks great. I would use this company again.

The service turned out excellent. I called Rich on the 16th and he came out that day at 4pm and he said he would be there at 5pm. He took a bid from a competitor company and beat their price. He gave me a 10% Angie's List coupon on top of the price as well. He was very polite and he said he would come back out two days later and he showed up and got the job done. Everything looks great!

Did the job and I thought it wasn't quite right. Owner came out no questions asked, did the job how I wanted. Great Company to work with.

They were very prompt and gave an estimate the minute they came out. They performed the service in 1 day later that week. They did a really great job.

I had high confidence that SCR would do a good job, on time and as promised.SCR advertises on Michael Berry radio show. ( I would like to support his sponsors.)SCR has good marks on Angie's list.SCR is bonded and insured. Quote was to raise 7 panels-- Competitor suggested 10 panels need to be raised/stabilized.However SCR came in much higher than their competitor -- almost 50% higher per panel. Since the job was pretty straight forward, i opted to go with a competitor.We'll see how competitor's job holds up over time.

I called to schedule an appointment for an estimate with Mr. Rich Faust and he answered the phone right away. He came out that same day to give me an estimate and schedule the job. The day of the job the workers arrived on time and got the work done in one morning. They covered the new concrete with plastic since it was suppose to rain that afternoon. After 3-4 days the concrete was completely cured and looked great! Mr. Faust called to make sure I was completely satisfied with the new walkway.I highly recommend using this company for any concrete work you might need. They take pride in their work and have great customer service!

We're still waiting for it to be finished, but when these guys came, I was surprised and happy with the service.

Contact was due around 4pm. Around 4pm, it was a no show. Close to 5pm, I received telephone call. He said he was "in bad traffic"; then he asked if I still wanted him to come, I said yes. He never showed, never called to explain and no one ever called from Southern Concrete Raising.

They fixed the problem with w section of concrete slab. They were quick and got the job done.

In the process of lifting the sidewalk by pumping concrete under it, they busted up one of the panel sections. There were several cracks but the main one was about two inches wide. At the time it happened I called the owner Rich Faust and he told me he could pull the guys off the job and not charge me. I told him to have them fix the cracks since I did not want to be left with the mess they made and I would pay for the job.They filled the main crack and 17 holes around the pool with gray concrete and put the pea gravel on top. There were still cracks and when the concrete dried there was a great contrast in color. They returned about a week later and said that they would not be able to repair the cracks, but they could repair the color contrast of the gray concrete (they should have used brown & they carry it on their truck but didn't.) So they spray painted a brown color over the areas that were gray and then came back a few weeks later and sprayed the areas again. They never came back to acid wash or expose the rocks.Since they could not repair the cracks, they said they would send another company to do that and refund my money. They did that. Only problem is the other company sawed the cracks bigger and filled them in with mastic. So now instead of a few hairline cracks I have inch wide cracks full of mastic with no pea gravel on top. It looks horrible.To top it off, we had the pool completely refinished. About three weeks ago they put a new seal in around the coping. It is already tearing apart because the sidewalks are falling again. So we are back to square one and still need to have the sidewalk cracks repaired correctly and the 17 spots cleaned up and figure out how to keep the walks from falling before the coping seal completely pulls apart.To sum it up, we wasted a lot of energy to have our sidewalks destroyed. Glad they gave us our money back but I would have happily paid for someone to make things right. Since the owner waved a paper at my husband the last time he was here "stating they were not responsible" I have not bothered to call them back. Update: I have added pictures to show the consumers what the ultimate results of this job look like. One Picture shows the cracks and patches that are in a slab that had no cracks or chips before the work was done by Southern Concrete Raising. Another picture shows a spot. I have 17 of these all the way around our pool. Another picture shows the 5 week old coping mastic job that is tearing apart because the slabs are falling off again. The last picture is of a patio add on that was completed on Tuesday June 26, 2012 (this week), which shows that the condition of the existing patio and sidewalks are very easily matchable and in great shape. Two of these sections are new and one was existing. I am very disappointed that the owner felt the need to fabricate a story that I could not deal with contractors and there was a lawsuit. My husband is in awe that he said this. I was going to drop this and pay out of pocket to have a new walks put in (the only way to correct this) but feel that consumers need to know the truth. This was the first company that I hired in a series of contractors to work on our back yard. Since this company worked here, I have hired Cascade Pools to replaster our pool. Cascade in turn had a tile and a mastic contractor to complete the job. I have also hired Concrete Patios Unlimited to add a patio extention on to our existing patio. ALL of these contractors did a great job and I have rave reviews for them and have recommended them to my neighbors. I have never had to file a lawsuit or complaint with anyone for work done on my home. Therefore I am extremely disappointed that the owner felt the need to make up his story. My husband is also very upset as he was not happy with the work and was extremely happy to get the money back. He actually had to call them since it took several weeks to get here. This job is costing us much more than the $600 that Southern Concrete Raising originally charged.

To put it simply everything from start to finish was Excellent. They showed up at some point on the morning they were scheduled. We received a phone call about 45 minutes before they were finished so we could come at and look at there work before we paid. Unfortunately, we were not able not available to come home and take a look but that didn't effect the quality of work at all. They took our payment over the phone and finished up. Once we returned home for the day everything looked very good. There were no more trip hazards and the driveway was flush at all the joints. I wish we would have taken some before and after pictures to describe what a difference this work made. Overall Southern Concrete Raising was a pleasure to do business with, performed quality work, and was accommodating to our busy schedule.
