It was very impressive when John Rojers came and did an estimate and promice everything will be done great. Recently Harris County fixed the side walk in front of our house and he was criticizing how bad the patches look.He said that they will do much better job. At the estimate we planned to do some extra support for the foundation ( as a preventive care), but after we consulted specialists they did not recomend it. I called John and ask if we remove those 5 points it will bring the price down to $1000 would they be willing to do it anyway. He said it is no problem. .When workers arrived, they brought corrected estimate, but it was $1200. Before letting them do the job I called office to clear this discrepensy. The owner (sorry, forgot his name) picked up the phone. The conversation was really not nice he was almost yelling at me and I was about to cancel everything, but then he agreed for $1000 dollars original price. It was very unpleasant. They raised the concrete sort of OK. I did not really like some areas, but the biggest frustration was patches. They simply look ugly.But the contractors did not want to do it better. I called John couple days after. He said he will stop by and inspect and will let me know. He did not call. After couple attempts to call I gave up. I guess. we will have to see our drive way for awhile now the way it is.The only one good thing was, John has recomended Mastic Masters company to fill the cracks. I guess I have to thank them for that.

Response from Southern Concrete Raising Inc
Member, First and foremost, we are sincerely sorry that you had a poor experience with Southern Concrete Raising; it is very rare and as such, we do apologize and would like to address each of your prior and current concerns and disappointments. On 9-19-2011 we received your first call for an estimate; included in that free estimate was a full sidewalk and driveway evaluation as well as several additional areas of flatwork around the home. Your estimator John Rogers provided you with a quote and then following an extended conversation with you, and as a courtesy, went off to the city to discuss your deteriorating sidewalk situation on your behalf, and ultimately convinced them that they should do your sidewalk at no cost to you- which they did. John later came back to the property and provided you with an updated quote to remove that work. As with any and all of our estimators, John expressed his concern for the many cracks on your concrete and communicated that only a full concrete replacement (which you declined due to the vast price difference) would remove the actual cracks and if Southern Concrete Raising was to perform the raising and stabilization that the cracks would still be apparent, as well as any injection sites simply because of the nature of our process (we drill 1” holes, inject a slurry to level the concrete and then patch those holes closed with a very strong concrete, which because it is new compared to existing weathered concrete, will always be noticeable). On 9-23-2011 you called us to schedule your work but asked if we can patch the cracks for you and for the work to be completed on a Saturday. When we communicated that we do not prefer to patch cracks because of the temporary nature of such (all concrete patches will expand and contract and eventually crack) and that we only did commercial work on Saturday’s (since then we have included Saturday availability for residential projects) you expressed disappointment, so we made an exception and included the patch work (where concrete can fit and would be most durable), recommended Mastic Masters for the remaining portion, and scheduled your work for our first available Saturday which was October, 29-2011. Prior to that work day and upon your request, John again came out to your property to assess foundational voiding issues that were contributing to your cracking concrete and upon your request added 5 deep foundation stabilization injections to your estimate. At that point your estimate was $1000.00 (raising, leveling and stabilization), $200 (patching), and $500 (foundation injections). On Friday 10-28-2011 as a courtesy we called you to remind you that we would be out that next day to do your project, at which point you cancelled the entire job citing that you had some foundation experts coming to your home and thus didn’t want to move forward with any of the work. Two weeks following your cancellation you called us back to ask for the same service but to remove the deep injection portion of the work, as well you still requested Saturday only. We again scheduled your work, this time for Saturday November 18th. On that Saturday while at a large commercial project, and with our foreman at your home confirming the work to be done and price, I received a call from you (I make my direct line available to all clients in addition to the office number so as to expedite any immediate requests or concerns ) asking why it was $1200 and not $1000; As with any construction site, it is very loud, and the apparent consequence of “yelling” was seemingly the unfortunate experience you had; for that I am truly sorry and since request to any customer who calls me directly while at a worksite that I return their call at a later time. You requested that we speak there and then and because of the additional $200 fee for the patching you expressed that you were again disappointed, and said that you would cancel the job again if we didn’t bring it down to $1000.00 as per your understanding. We did as you wished, and provided all the patchwork for free simply because it was already included on your work ticket. Southern Concrete Raising abides by several ‘highest customer quality’ guidelines; Here are just three : First, we always let the customer know when considerable existing cracks and thus resulting patching/sealing needs will affect the aesthetic appearance of their concrete, regardless of the reason we are hired, which is to raise, level, and stabilize the concrete. Second is that we try very hard to avoid changing/adjusting estimates on the work day and site with the customer, as this can sometimes lead to confusion and inaccuracies. Third, we do not take any payments unless two things happen- we are done and you are happy. All three of these aim to reduce highly unfortunate situations just like this. Following our work, you communicated your satisfaction and paid $1000.00. Over 2 months later on 1-27-2012 you called our office and expressed concern about the “ugly” appearance of the patches because the color was not that of your existing concrete. John has since had 2 conversations with you (with three resulting voice messages left for you which is company policy) to discuss possible remedies- redoing the holes with a color tinge added to the concrete (though they would still be visible), spraying an epoxy overcoat atop the holes/patches, resurfacing those areas with mastic, etc. The last call we received from you was on 2-17-12, with the only comment of “re: service”. By that time your estimator John Rogers had changed his personal line (which all estimators give to each client in addition to the office number so as to expedite any immediate requests or concerns), which is now (713) 927-0626, and we can only assume that you were continuing to attempt to reach him on that line; In 2012 Southern Concrete Raising has made several changes to improve our process, keep customer satisfaction at the top of our priorities and reduce any potential customer uncertainty. We have added very clear verbiage to our estimations that we do not provide patching and [where the customer insists on such] we do not charge for or warranty those patches but instead recommend specialty companies who can service that need. We do not allow changes to a work order on the day of the job unless the estimator himself goes on-site and reissues the new adjusted estimate to be signed and accepted again by the customer. We realize that these changes certainly do not change your experience with us Member. Your concrete was badly cracked, and patched for free, and solely since you describe our work of raising, leveling and stabilizing those pieces as “sort of OK” I have issued you a full refund which is in the mail already, that in itself is an unacceptable service call review for us. Finally, there are many things that Southern Concrete Raising can and will do when it comes to raising, leveling and stabilizing your concrete, as well as ‘above and beyond’ in the rare case of a potentially disappointed customer, but I feel your comment “But the contractors did not want to do it better” is a misleading one- We understand that if this was your ‘experience’ then we ultimately are at fault for enabling that perception of our company and to manifest as such, but there are just some things we cannot physically do- We cannot make concrete patches ‘pretty’, we cannot make concrete patches ‘permanent’ and we cannot make new concrete look like ‘old concrete’. We continue to make every effort we can to make points like these exceptionally clear, and to educate and improve the education process to the customer on just what can and cannot be accomplished, but that very process can sometimes cause apprehension for a customer with already complex concrete issues. We can only strive to reduce those frustrations and again we apologize for your ultimate dissatisfaction with Southern Concrete Raising.

We decided to use Southern Concrete because they were highly rated on Angie's List and offered a 10% member discount. They also didn't have to do the whole driveway and were able to just address the parts of the driveway that were unlevel. The overall job was done very well. There are a couple of spots in the driveway where they accidentally chipped another part and tried to fix it up. Those patches are now starting to crack.

The result is great. All the concrete is back to level, even where it had cracked and heaved. They were not able to completely align two of the slabs that were askew, but Rich had warned me of that. They patched the holes where they injected the slurry and made a fairly good match. They could have picked up a tad better. They left some concrete, root and slurry chunks that our lawn people had to deal with the next day. No big deal though. Rich gave me an estimate the very day I called him, answered my questions clearly, and then peformed the work within a week of me giving him the "go ahead." They charged me exactly what they estimated. Rich had warned me of some possible additional charges. One occurred and one did not. The crew called to remind me the day before they performed the work, and I didn't even need to be at the house. I had them call me about an hour before they finished so that I could see the nearly finished job and pay them. Southern Concrete Raising saved me thousands from having to replace several sections of sidewalk! Regarding the cost, I was happy to pay them $1700 for saving my sidewalks and improving the appearance of our home. By my observation, it only took 15 manhours cumulative on site to perform the work. I would recommend them to anybody, and I would gladly use them again...but I bet I don't have to!
Description of Work: Southern Concrete Raising raised and leveled all of our sidewalks on a corner lot. Two of the sections were pushed up by tree roots, and two different sections were askew. The rest needed jacking to level them, some as much as 3". Two of the sections were cracked and caused a severe trip hazard.

The aim was to remove trip hazards and also esthetically improve the walkway. The representative had very good social skills and was professional. the workers did a very good job and also follow my requests when I wished some re doings. the only thing I am not so happy about is that the color of the filling for round holes that were drilled to put the mud on ,do not match to my liking, to the color of my concrete. nothing major, but it is not 100% as I would wish. the spacing of he holes etc. is esthetically fine.

I called Richard from Southern Concrete Raising to come out and do an estimate, he came out within a day (or it may have even been the same day) and left a sheet with a thorough drawing of all areas that needed to be raised with an estimate. After a couple weeks, I called him back to get on his schedule. We were able to get on the schedule within a week or two and they came out as promised and performed the job quickly, efficiently, and with no mess. I came home to a nice level sidewalk. Payment was easy, u can pay by cash or credit card. If you pay by credit card they charge you an extra 3% or so, so I paid by check. Everything went very smoothly and Richard was very responsive and very quick to call back. They also give 10% off for Angie's List members.

They came out to give me an estimate on 10/14/2010 and got the job done on 11/2/2010. We had numerous trip hazards on the sidewalk around our house due to shifting ground and large tree roots. After doing some research on what it would cost to replace the sidewalk/driveway, I decided to get a quote from this company. It would have cost $10,000 for new concrete compared to $1800 for raising/leveling. They arrived at 8 a.m. and got the job done by about 5 p.m. When working on the driveway, they discovered that where holes had been dug for our recent foundation repair, there was no filling underneath the concrete patches, so they filled those in too to prevent someone from falling through those patches. The only draw-back of doing raising/leveling instead of new concrete is that it's very evident where they patched the cracks and the holes they had to drill. However, my main reason for doing this was to improve safety, so the patches don't bother me that much (especially with the savings from not going with new concrete).

I called Southern Concrete Raising based on Angies List customer reviews. Rich Faust came to my house the next day and gave me an estimate. He was genial and professional and explained to me how my driveway got into the sorry condition it was in. I didn't get any other estimates (which is why I couldn't answer question about price). I was satisfied with his estimate and four days later his crew was at my house and completed the work. My driveway is now a thing of beauty.

Rich came and gave me an estimate. We talked on the phone and he explained the procedure. The crew came and did the job - as far as I know at this time it was done well. They cleaned up - Rich was there the entire time. I am very pleased with the result. It is not a new walk, but takes care of the dip where water collected and the uneveness where the slabs met, and where it met the house.
