Greg's Concrete Construction

Overall, it went okay. The slope is much better-now my car scrapes bottom 1 out of 10 times instead of every time. But if he had removed more of the driveway, it would've helped-the scrapes now occur at exactly where the old concrete meets new. His estimate also included rebuilding part of a small concrete wall, which was not necessary. That wall is badly patched now.

Very poorly.

I was impressed with the quality of work that he provided. He was efficient and did the work quickly. He was able to offer a solution to what we needed and we are pleased with the results.

Greg did a great job replacing the sidewalk. There was an issue with a difficult neighbor that resulted in calling in the City arborist and sidewalk inspector. In the end, the city decided to have the sidewalk humped over tree roots and Greg was good in dealing with the extra requirements and suggested putting some steel in the concrete which the city agreed to. Greg did a great job in his finishing work. I would hire him again.

Having had a lot of trouble getting anyone to take my project seriously...it was a difficult one...I phoned Greg and he came by the next day. He spent quite a lot of time thinking about it and talking with me about it and then sent me a written estimate....emailing me back and forth with different options. I decided to go a whole other route but appreciated his professionalism and honestly during the process. His estimate was in line with what I had thought it would be and I would definitely use Greg if I had any other suitable projects.

I had Greg out to do a bid on the project and while we were impressed with him, I did receive a lower bid from another person that I had found through "the list" and decided to use him. Unbeknownst to me, the person I hired actually was an employee of Greg's Concrete and while experienced in demolition, he was new to the concrete component. When the concrete was being poured another person came to the site and assisted him. I did not realize that this gentleman was Greg as it had been some time since the estimate and I had a few companies come out. At the time I did notice that Greg seemed frustrated, but our overall perception of the project was that it came out great. We were happy with the service we received from the contractor we hired. Greg contacted me after I reported on his company and explained the background story which we had not known at the time. Given this, it turns out that we did actually use Greg's Concrete, we just did not realize it as we paid the man we had hired. Knowing all of this, I have to say that I am impressed that Greg came through to assist the man we had hired, despite what he must have felt at the time. We appreciate that his help was the critical factor in the project's success and because of this we would not hesitate to recommend him to people.

See above.

A little hit and miss getting together for the estimate but Greg showed up to do the work when scheduled and did a great job in all respects.

Fine.

Once our times to get together to do the job, Gregg came every day until he had completed the entire project. The job entailed setting up a time for a subcontractor to come in to demolish the old steps and sidewalks then haul away the away the debris. Other than the man who broke up the old and hauled the debris, the concrete pumping company and the concrete supplier, Gregg handled the entire project himself. He even handled the hose from the pumper trucks from which the concrete was poured.

This was our third time using some type of concrete company, and Greg was definitely the best of the bunch. He showed up on time and did what he said he was going to do. Doing this sort of patch job is not something he does on a regular basis, so he did seem a little unprepared (he didn't have a mask for the grinding, for example). But, I really liked how upfront he was about the process. He said that, while he'd try applying color, he couldn't guarantee what it'd look like in the end. Since we had researched doing this ourselves (and had talked to a guy at a concrete supply company who said how difficult it was to get the color consistent), we knew what we were in for and we appreciated that he didn't sugar coat it. In the end, we decided if the color was really bad that we'd just paint it at some later point. The color ended up looking great, so all is good.

He did a fine job. He was responsive and friendly. His price was pretty fair. He was on time. I would probably hire him again in the future and recommend him to others.

Checked Craig's List for concrete contractor and call Greg. We liked the reports that we read on the List, and also, that he was local. He responded promptly to our call, and came out and gave us a bid and started and finished the job in a little over a week. Greg did a wonderful job, very hard working, and the slab looks beautiful.

Excellent. Greg was very responsive. He provided a quote within a few days and performed the work within two weeks. He worked quickly, stayed in close contact, and did an excellent job. We were particularly concerned about the well-being of the tree whose roots had moved the old walkway. Greg was very mindful of our concerns and appeared to work with great care. We highly recommend him and would work with him again. On a side note, we appreciated the fact that Greg likes to communicate by email, since email is both convenient and clear. Also, his website provided lots of photos of the jobs he's done and the options that were available to us -- again, very helpful.

Greg responded within two or three days to my phone message. We arranged a time for him to come to look at the sidewalk. He sent me an estimate by e-mail and I accepted the project by e-mail. Before we could set a specific time, Greg called on a rainy day and proposed to do the work on that day because he was rained out of another job and the weather was good for pouring concrete this type of concrete. I went out and helped him prepare by removing some soil and grass that had grown out onto the sidewalk. I don't know if this is something expected of clients, but I wanted to be sure he had as clear a surface to work on as possible. I was impressed with the quality of the work. The patches were very smooth and gradual, making the sidewalk much safer. He put some coloring in the cement so it wouldn't dry bright white. The patches don't blend in exactly but they don't stand out dramatically.

Greg works alone but was able to handle all that concrete with his expertise and perfect tools for the job by himself. We were amazed. The drainage angles were for the most part exactly as we had specified and formed. He brush finished the surface and it looks nice and professional. We would hire him again. I would never have imagined that one guy could place that much concrete by himself! He is clearly experienced and confident.

Greg did a terrific job. Being a one-man operation, he did all the work himself (minus the concrete delivery, although he took care of arranging that) and we dealt with him personally at every stage. He is pleasant, timely, efficient, and above all passionate about the work he enjoys. His recommendations regarding our options for decorative stamping were informed and useful. He stayed within budget and his estimate was rock solid. (The concrete delivery was an extra expense, but not a deal-breaking one.) After the project was completed we called him an artist, and - unlike most other contractors we've worked with - the term fits. Easily recommended.

Greg was straightforward and worked really hard. I have absolutely no complaints, except the cost, which wasn't Greg's fault. It is very hard to find contractors to do ''small'' jobs in the concrete biz. You even pay a premium to the concrete suppliers if you don't have a full load, which is really a lot of concrete. I called every company on Angie's List and only 2 actually showed up to give me a bid.

Greg did a helpful estimate and has good knowledge of concrete. He looked at all the concrete around the house and provided useful information. He came when scheduled and really made the stairs look new again.

Greg was easy to work with. He helped design us a new porch, removed the old porch, filled the area with old concrete, put down rebar and built the forms and then oversaw the pooring of concrete.

Overall my experience was good. The miscommunication resulted in us not choosing Greg's because his main expertise is in the flatwork.

Great experience. Prompt call back and flexible with our schedule and did the work on time!

Greg is an excellent concrete man. He was courteous, efficient and reasonable in cost. I am well satisfied and recommend his work.

VERY RELIABLE SERVICE. THEY DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB. HE HAD LOTS OF PRIDE IN HIS WORK AND IS A HARD WORKER. GREG FINISHED THE WORK AS PROMISED AND CLEANED UP, AND MADE HIMSELF AVAILABLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS.
