UPDATE: We originally took this review down at Gage's request, as we were actively communicating…read morewith him to get our driveway fixed. After two months, multiple no-shows for appointments he himself set to sign a new contract, and now complete ghosting--ignoring calls and texts--we are done. This is not just disappointing, it is unacceptable. Consider this a clear warning: think twice before hiring him. Across multiple review platforms, you will see the same pattern repeated--poor communication, disregard for property, and a consistent failure to deliver on promises. Our experience is not an outlier; it reflects a broader issue in how this business operates. ____________________________________________________________________ Original Review: We've held off writing this review for nearly two years, hoping we wouldn't have to. Unfortunately, the latest issue made it clear we can't stay silent. This isn't something we do lightly, and we acknowledge upfront that we took a risk going with a younger contractor. We wanted to give him a shot. That was our choice--and ultimately, our lesson learned. In April 2023, we hired Buffalo Niagara Concrete to pour a new driveway, sidewalk, and back patio. Gage, the owner, was initially polite and responsive. On pour day, the crew arrived on time, but Gage left midway. At first glance, the work looked fine, but the professionalism of the crew was lacking. We even provided lunch, only to later find paper plates, pizza crusts, and other trash scattered in our yard. Tools, mesh, and leftover materials were left behind. Some were eventually retrieved, but most we had to haul away ourselves. It left the impression that once the concrete was poured, cleanup and customer care were no longer priorities. We later learned Gage hires union workers per job--not employees of his company--which makes it even more important for him to oversee and inspect the work. That did not happen in our case. Serious issues soon followed. Control joints were cut when the driveway was still too soft, leaving gouges and jagged edges. Rain then revealed a bigger flaw: the slope near our garage man door was poured wrong, causing water to pool and leak inside, damaging drywall. It took weeks to get a reply from Gage. Eventually, he sent workers to cut and repour that section, but the patch was rushed and sloppy, with chipped surrounding concrete and a mismatched finish. The remaining cuts were delayed, then finally done, but left crooked and uneven. At that point, we gave up trying to have it fixed. By spring, the driveway had significant pitting--far beyond normal wear for only two years. Several respected contractors inspected it, all agreeing it was from poor product or application. Each urged us to reach back out to Gage, noting that any reputable contractor should stand behind their work. At first, he replied quickly, asking for photos. We sent them immediately, then communication stopped. When he finally responded, his answer was simply: nothing could be done, just power wash and seal it ourselves. No inspection, no remediation, no referrals, no discount--not even the courtesy of standing behind his job. We are incredibly disappointed. We spent thousands of dollars and have had more stress and repair needs than we ever imagined--especially so soon after completion. Some parts still look fine, but knowing what we know now, we'd never hire him again. The lack of accountability, the delays in communication, and the refusal to stand behind his work are reasons we cannot recommend Buffalo Niagara Concrete. We gave every chance for this to be made right, but at this point, we hope our experience warns others: choose a contractor who is not only skilled, but also professional, reliable, and committed to standing by the quality of their work.

This is in reply to the business manager's reply to my negative review. We actually hired one of…read morethe Top firms in the area to preform the work and actually paid additional to the contract in dispute. We are very happy with their work and highly recommend Zeolla Concrete and Construction. No hassle, no bullshit just honest hard work and lived up to their agreement. Additionally our contractor invited us to see a similar project at a clients home, had no problem providing insurance documentation and was absolutely everything that Buffalo Niagara Concrete wasn't. We will be seeing them in court!!

Before I even get into the experience, I want to start by saying I would highly recommend JMK…read morecontracting.Our house was built in the 1800s and as a result we need to do a lot of work and have used many different contractors in the past. This was one of the best experiences I've ever had with a contractor. First, when I called for an estimate John actually called back. As I'm sure many of you know you make calls looking to get an estimate for work and you don't even receive the courtesy of a call back. That's not the case with John. After we receive the estimate we decided we wanted to go with JMK after reading the fantastic reviews. However, we did not have the funds and did not want to pay an additional charge to put the deposit on my credit card. When I reached out to John and explained the situation he put me on the schedule in good faith until I sent in the deposit. The work started on the day we were told it would start and ended on the day we were told it would end. Partway through the work I realized that John and I may have had a communication error with what I wanted and what he thought I wanted and when we discussed it he immediately corrected and promptly addressed my concerns. In all this was the best experience I've had with a contractor.

I had the unfortunate experience of hiring this company for lawn mowing, snowplowing and fixing up…read moremy landscaping beds. I was very disappointed in their quality of work and professionalism. In my opinion it was a very bad experience. They were supposed to trim all my bushes and trees. They forgot to trim several of them and the others were done haphazardly. They ripped out flowers that were perennials because they thought they were weeds. Many areas were missing weed barrier, even though it was in the contract. The company admitted that the job needed more mulch, but because they underbid the job and was losing money, they would not provide any more mulch. They also admitted that their workers were new and not properly trained. In my opinion they harassed us for more money because they could not estimate the job properly. The owner continously told us of a toll bill for $1800 he owed to gain our sympathy. The owner assured us that he had arborists working for him but this statement appears to be false looking at the completed project. For snowplowing, they had to be constantly called and asked when they were coming out. The company provided an expired certificate of insurance to trick me into signing a contract. They tried to tell me that a car insurance certificate would be just as good. I have a copy of the car insurance certificate the company gave me. This company has had numerous people complain about their snowplowing service, but they delete all of their negative comments and 1 star reviews off of their social media pages. This company was hired by my elderly neighbor to cut her grass. She is 90 years old and has a hard time seeing and hearing. She paid them a lot of money. They rarely show up to cut her grass. They never even provided her with a receipt for her money or a contract. Her family had to get involved to help her. They refused to bag the grass clippings after they cut my lawn even though the contract stated they would. The grass looked atrocious with all the loose grass on it. The company canceled my contract and wanted to give it to his friend. He was going to pay him a fraction of what I paid him and keep the rest for himself. The pictures submitted with this review is how this company actually left my lawn. When I explained to them that is was unacceptable they proceeded to cancel my grasscutting contract. Most businesses when they get negative reviews they get upset and do everything in their power to have the reviews removed. Instead businesses should look at the negative reviews as a learning tool to improve their business and their employees. People really do not want to put down local businesses but they most certainly do not want to be taken advantage of. In response to the owner's comments: The fictitious accusations that this company has made instead of responding to the actual problems with his company should tell you everything you need to know about who you would be hiring
