Our front sidewalk was sinking again & we were going to have to replace it for the 3rd time. We contacted Dale Schultz Masonry who came out to give us a quote. He was concerned about WHY the sidewalk kept sinking & recommended Dave Schreiner to excavate & determine what was underneath the sidewalk. Additional fill would also need to be brought in to correct the grade. After Dave Schreiner removed the existing sidewalk & started digging, he showed us why our sidewalks had continued to sink. The soil was a jiggly wet rock filled clay & when he would lift up a scoop, it wiggled like "jell-o". The more he removed, the more collapsed in & had to be removed. He had anticipated a small job & wound up with a huge job. Even though he was very busy with larger commercial jobs, he and his son Kevin would come & work on our project into the evenings. They were always pleasant to have around and made what could have been a nightmare a fun time. They prepared the site for the concrete and after that part of the job was done, they came back & finished. We now have a beautiful front walk & patio that we will enjoy for years to come without any fear of its sinking again. Dave & Kevin Schreiner were so nice they felt like family. If we ever have another project that requires excavating, we would want Schreiner Construction on the job!
Description of Work: They removed our existing sidewalk and discovered very bad "jell-o" quality soil all the way down to our footers. The more they removed, the more kept falling in & the more they had to remove. After excavating an enormous amount of junk that they had trouble even finding someplace that would allow them to dump it, they filled the hole correctly with 3/4" rock, granite, & sand. After the new sidewalk & patio was poured they returned with black dirt & finished the grading.
