They were really good. They came when they said they were going to come. They did a good job. Their follow up was really good. He came back and did the sealing, took the mold off and all of that stuff in a good amount of time. They were very easy to work with.
Description of Work: We had pavers done. They poured a little pad on part of our driveway that hadn't been concreted yet.

Although it is sometimes hard to get a hold of Tom and it may take a few days to hear from him (I attribute that to him being busy) having the patience is well worth it. He poured a sidewalk and slab for me back in 2010 after finding him on Angie’s List and I was so impressed with the work and the professionalism of the crew that I told him on completion if I ever needed more concrete work I would have no hesitation in calling him. At the time I did not have any more concrete work in mind. In 2013 I decided to put a concrete slab behind my garage so I called him. Yes it took a while to get the quote and yes it took a while to get the work done because he was busy. I had to wait for him to fit in my 2 day job in between the jobs he already had that took a week or more apiece. But again it was well worth the wait. I did not even get other quotes. I used to get 3 or more quotes and usually go with the mid one for any work to be done. But with how hard it is to find contractors that do good work once I find one I'm not going to roll the dice and tempt fate. Could I have had it done cheaper? Maybe. Would it have been as good? Maybe. But I'm not about to gamble with 10,000lbs of concrete. I said it in 2010 and I'll say it again, if I need any more concrete work done I'll call Tom. And if I have to wait, so be it.

I contacted them for an appt and a bid after seeing a positive review from a member on a very similar type project. I called him with a brief description of what I needed done, but never heard back from them. It is very rude that I was never contacted with a phone call back to me. I would rather they let me know they couldn't do the work than not respond at all. I can understand if they're busy, but they should just let me know.

I had done the prep work for a 10x12 concrete slab and needed a contractor to pour and finish. It was a busy season due to unpredictable weather, and I had a difficult time finding a contractor willing to do the job when I needed it done. Fortunately, I found Tom Schmidt on Angie's List. He returned my call promptly and within a few days, Tom, his son Matt and his crew completed the job to perfection. They cleaned up everything and did not leave so much a a crumb of concrete outside of the slab. Tom also gave me a lot of advice on the selection of concrete, time to cure, and other useful information based on my intended use. It is nice to find a contractor these days willing to take the time to educate the customer. Also, the entire crew were pleasant and professional. If you need concrete work done right, look no further.

Tom's crew arrived as scheduled on Friday, May 10 and did the preparation work. They poured and finished the concrete on Saturday, May 11. They returned on Monday, May 13 and removed the forms. They were very professional and did an excellent job. I am very satisfied.
Description of Work: Tom has done concrete work for me since 1981. He has always done excellent work. I have recommended him to my relatives, neighbors and friends. This time Tom and his crew installed a new concrete sidewalk between my house and garage.

The entire job went well. The crew was here on time, set up and immediately got to work. They tore out our front concrete sidewalk and hauled old materials away. They fixed the pitch on the sidewalk, reframed the walkway. The next day they poured new concrete and the sidewalk looks great. The crew was pleasant, organized and efficient.
Description of Work: We had our front sidewalk removed and a new one put in. Our existing sidwalk,although new, was poorly pitched and had created numerous problems. Tom was knowledgeable, knew what need to be done, took the time to explain how it should have been done. His response to our initial inquiry was quick,when he came to do the job he was on time. The workers, one his son, were knowleabe and discovered an additional problem with one of our foundation blocks. They pointed out the problem and fixed it. They worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned up after themselves. The sidewalk looks great. I would highly recommend them.

Tom took lots of time to study my problem area and then discuss the possible solutions with me compared to others who offered a "quick fix". His crew arrived punctually and cleaned up after they were done. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Tom's crew removed the old sidewalk, pulled up sod for the new walk, hauled away the old sidewalk and brought in topsoil to fill both the new "lawn" and to raise the height of an adjacent flower bed.

I had to change the plans multiple times due to both what we found when we took out the flagstone and what my bricklayer was telling me. Tom was accomdating to all the changes. Both Tom and his son are obviously craftsmen who take pride in their work. However after the cement was poured there were discolorations that I was told were due to "the sealer" that would fade. They haven't faded yet after 3 months. I'm still waiting to hear back from Tom regarding this. Even more disappointing was what I was charged for some fieldstone. I should have shopped around more as I found the same stone for one tenth the price at a local brickyard. Update - Although it took a while, Tom eventually came back and tried to get the discoloration out. When that failed, he tore up the entire sidewalk and repoured the whole length. I then asked about the price of the fieldstone, after checking his records he gave me a rebate. All in all a very fair deal and I intend to use them again and recommend them to others.
Description of Work: I needed our old pitted sidewalk removed and a new walk poured. Had an old flagstone stoop that had to be taken out and a new cement base poured around the existing smaller original stoop so brick could be layed on top and sides.

The overall is this: If you are looking for a professional crew that takes pride in every step of the project. Give Tom a call.
Description of Work: Tom and his crew of two gave me exactly what I was looking for in a new concrete drive. At our first meeting I was totally comfortable with Tom. The old drive was concrete from the garage about 110 feet and then blacktop to the street a total of 168 feet. A turn off parking pad was located about 20 feet from the curb. I live mid block with the front street running north and south and the drive is east of the street and runs west to east. For years we have had casual water problems, the runoff from up the hill comes across the property. Normal rains were not a real problem but heavy rains caused minor flooding of our sun porch and on several occasions filled the window wells and seeped into the basement. I gave Tom my lay of the land, he paced, measured, eyeballed, and gave me his professional opinion. A change of grade, a small gradual curb and changing the pitch from the garage past the front of the house and that was his fix. The finished product is a WOW. Waiting for the drive to cure "no additives" and waiting for the first hard rain were the only painful parts of this project. Tom and crew did a fantastic job. Very neat, explained everything and I am a VERY HAPPY CAMPER and the drive looks great. Let it rain.........

I had used Angie's list about 5 or 6 years ago to find Tom and now that we were finally ready to have the work done, I was very glad to be able to get in touch with him. He came out did an estimate and I looked no further this time, since I had already decided on him last time. The weather was certainly not working in our favor, but as soon as it cleared up and cooled down the work began. Tom and his son Matt do a great job and are both very polite and likable. We have an old home and wanted the driveway to be like it had been with curbs and curving walks. It is beautiful and we couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: The driveway (which goes from the street all the way to the back yard to reach the garage) had to be torn out, hauled away and redone. Also, the front walk up to the porch needed the same, as well as part of the service walk. And, lastly we needed a patching of part of the concrete on the porch.

For the most part I'd have to say excellent job, excellent work, and a really nice crew. But there were some speed bumps otherwise they would have gotten A's across the board. Once I decided to hire them it was late in the season and they were busy and I was told the work would be done in the next two weeks. Well it was but on the last day of those two weeks after I think I called Tom on that Wednesday to find out what the plan was because I was concerned cold weather was approaching. No big deal though, after all the work got done. Part of the agreement when the quote was received was that once the forms came off the stair I would do what Tom referred to as backflash (I think) the exposed stair sides to save him a trip back. Backflashing is a process of more or less plastering the exposed sides of the stair with a concrete material to fill any holes caused by entrapped air bubbles, strictly cosmetic, and Tom said he would supply me with the material to do that. Having done concrete work myself I was comfortable with that. On the day of the work Tom did not have any the material with him but promised he'd drop it off. Never did, to this day. So I went out and bought the material myself, way more then I'll ever use. That material cost me an additional $40 or so where I probably needed $5 worth. Also because of my lack of expertise when installing the forms for the stair it caused some cosmetic issues. I didn't angle the bottom of the front board for the stair so the concrete could not be finished properly to the front of the stair. After the concrete was set a bit that board was removed to finish the front of the stair but some of the concrete stuck to the board so there were holes in the front of the stair. The concrete was too setup at that point so that couldn't be corrected, more backflashing. But also, because the board was not angled at the bottom there is a depression in the sidewalk the width of the board. But that is my bad, not Tom's. I wish he would have mentioned the angling when he did the quote but he probably assumed it was so I can't blame him and well, I just didn't know. Now I do. To Tom's credit, I had about a 3 cu. yd. pile of dirt and clay from digging out for the sidewalk and some 4-1/2' deep footings I poured, so I asked him if he knew of anyone that would haul it away and he said he would. So for additional $125 he did and I was very happy with that. Shoveling it in my truck and hauling it to the dump would have been back breaking work for me. I'd hire this crew again in a heartbeat if I need any more concrete poured, no doubt about it.
Description of Work: They poured the concrete for a 3'x30' sidewalk, a 6'x6' pad, and one stair that I had prepared and framed and was all ready to be poured.

They did a good job. They came here when they said they would. They completed the job in a timely manner. It was one day of digging. They put in a lot of stones and pipes the next day. They hooked everything up and buried it. They laid sod. They cleaned up after themselves. We were just happy to find someone who would do it, as nobody wanted to do such a little job. It was a reasonable price.

I thought they had a great product until it heaved with the frost. Since then I learned that he did a poor job. I am preparing to have that concrete driveway busted up this week. He did a bad preparation job and I wasted everything. I didn't know it until the winter hit. It was guaranteed, but he wouldn't stand behind it.

Response from Thomas J Schmidt Concrete Contractors
In 2006 we poured a new concrete drieway for the members. The following spring he called and informed me that the frost had lifted the first slab in front of the garage and pushed up his siding between the garage doors. Within a month we went to the property, sawcut out the problem areas and repoured those sections. After the following winter he called to tell me that the first slab had raised up and he had traped water in his garage. After the spring thaw the slab settled back down level with the garage floor. At that point I offered to take out the first slab and put drain tile in. The problem was that because of the topography of his land there was nowhere to bleed the drain tile. He talked about getting a trencher to come in and run the drain tile to his ditch. I told him that I would stay with him until the problem was solved and to let me know what he wanted me to do. I excavated and hauled away two tandem loads of wet clay and filled that area with 18 yards of gravel at no cost to the members. The third spring after the drive was poured he called me and informed me that he had gotten another contractor to replace the concrete, after I told him I would stay with him until the problem was solved. The last time we talked I assumed he would get back to me after he had talked to someone about digging a trench for the drain tile. I do feel badly about this, but I also feel I did everything I could to solve the problem.

He was excellent. He was very thorough. He estimates the job very well. He describes exactly what he is going to do. I have never seen sidewalks set so well. He spent most of the day doing the sidewalk. He kept tweaking it and making sure there were no bubbles. He then put a coating on it. When he came back, we were having water in the basement. He did all kinds of measuring and pitched it straight. We have alley. He showed us how we needed to go all the way out to the alley. He made sure that the fall line was correct so that it ran all the way out to the alley. He did the back lead up from the alley to the garage. He put the apron and said that it had to be made secure because the cars go over it. He put mesh in that part. It was a thing that we would not have even thought was required. He uses the low chert concrete. This was the second time we had him. He was perfect on both the occasions. He is slightly expensive but he really makes a quality product. We get what we pay for. Our front sidewalk had sunk down so that the steps were pointing and it was showing where it was not complete. He corrected it about 5 years ago and we have not changed it since then. It has held up so well. He really knows his stuff. He does such a good job. He is absolutely outstanding. We recommend him.

We could not be more pleased. Tom (and his son, Matt) delivered an excellent quality job for a fair price. We had gotten three quotes and felt Tom was more knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy. He exceeded our expectations in all three areas. His bid exceeded the requirements on bag count and other "concrete" specs that we had read up on. And is bid was competitive. Tom even gave us advise on ensuring the we understood the specs, even if we did not select him. Tom has a crew of 3-4 depending on the job and what is being done that day. Matt is Tom's son and has been with his Dad since he was 16. The other full timer, Tony, has been with them about 10 years. He and Matt are very good friends, so you get significant experience and consistency as well as the team works well together. It was interesting that both Matt and Tony have college degrees. Watching this team pour concrete was like watching artists. They worked on each section for hours smoothing and leveling. After watching the Schmidt team, we wished we had used them to redo our garage a couple years ago. We had some additional "scope" items added to the project after we received the bid. Some of the scope was because of the water drainage issue and some because we expanded the area to be redone.When Tom and us discussed additional monies at the project completition, we found ourselves in a situation we had never experienced before with a contractor....we paid Tom "MORE" than he requested.... as we felt the additional work done was more than what he asked for. I have read the few negative reviews for Schmidt in Angie's from the past and it appears they were never for actual work performed, but for the bid process. We recommend Thomas Schmidt with the highest confidence and would be delighted to act as references.
Description of Work: We had a large area converted from blacktop to concrete on the area of our driveway that leads to our garage and is used for outside parking. We have had significant drainage issues with this area in the past, especially in the spring. The area being redone was approximately 20 yards by 15 yards, with some additional add ons.

I got many estimates and I felt that they were the most knowledgeable and professional. For the concrete porch, we had a designer who quoted the dimensions, and his estimate was based on these dimensions. When they started the job though, they realized that those dimensions were incorrect as the porch actually had to be larger. They did not charge us any additional fees to enlarge the porch from what they initially quoted. Also, we had downspouts that that drained onto the porch which created a very icy area in the winter. He was able to dig trenches for the drains so they ran under the new porch and into the yard eliminating the problem of the ice build up. On one of the sidewalks, they were also able to eliminate a step that was used in the previous construction (which was a real pain!). I believe they truly went above and beyond, as they also replaced a slab of concrete for free that was part of another sidewalk that we did not have replaced. Their estimate was not the lowest, yet not the highest, but I truly think that the little extra we did pay was truly worth it and I would highly recommend them! His business dealings were very honorable.
Description of Work: They tore out an old sidewalk/Porch, and 2 other sidewalks. They replaced these with new sidewalks.
