In addition we started having problems with the work they did and he refused to correct the problem because I gave him a bad review. Also this company has been reported to the Better Business Bureau by other customers for similar reasons Please look him up ! The owner has been reported BBB by another customer in a short amount time considering he has only been in business for about 3 years. RED FLAG Please be careful ! The owner makes excuses for everything . Again he has been reported to the BBB by others and it's not an accredited business by BBB. PS: the owner claims we purposely dug out grout to make it seem like he did a crappy job who in their right mind would do this on a 30,000 dollars project (Really??? ) RED FLAG!

To begin this review, I will confess that I avoid hiring others to do work for me. Over the years…read moreI have not had good luck with contractors following through with promises. All is good when they are getting you to sign the contract but their promises fail shortly after they cash your down payment. This was not the case with Lake Country Concrete Specialists. Tom Alioto was very responsive when I called to get an estimate for some concrete work. He arrived at the time he promised. He was very patient answering all of our questions and helping us plan out our patio. Before we made a commitment to use his company he came back a second time to answer additional question. As is for most I have an expectation of people being true to their word and following through with promises. Tom did exactly that with our patio. We were in process of planning a graduation party for my daughter and LCCS made sure that the job was completed as to not interfere with the plans we were making. He did this during what is probably the busiest time for the concrete industry in Wisconsin. When the crew arrived at my home at 7am on a Monday morning I was expecting some half awake workers that were not happy to be up so earlier dreading another back breaking job in the sun. This is the exact opposite of what I experienced. Tom's son and the other men were all extremely polite and very respectful of my family and my property. They took the time to ensure they had a complete understanding of my expectations while setting up for the job. I did not feel rushed or pressured into making quick decisions. They echoed what Tom had stated during our initial visits that they want more than a paycheck, that it is LCCS desire to have happy customers. As I am writing this review I am looking out at our backyard patio. Even thought we decided to go with the standard concrete the way the crew set the forms to follow the landscaping in the yard looks amazing. LCCS has exceeded my expectation and I can be a very hard person to please. I would highly recommend using LCCS for any concrete projects, you will not be disappointed. Chuck

The job included building a retaining wall from large stone slabs and construction of a new composite deck. We'd interviewed a number of bidders who were clearly uncomfortable with the scope of work, but we were immediately convinced after talking to Joe that he had the required experience and know-how. Joe is a perfectionist, and takes pains to get everything just right. Every time he consulted with us during the construction process, we came away confident that we were in good hands. The finished results are amazing! We will not consider working with anyone but Joe on future projects.

Mike of CI Contractors is the best contractor we've worked with, period. We chose Mike (over…read moremultiple other contractors) as GC for a remodel of 3/4 of our basement, including full bedroom with egress window, full bathroom, and rec room because we liked how responsive, prompt, and honest he was, and because he gave a competitive price quote. Now that the project is done, we couldn't be happier with not just the finished product (which is just what we wanted and very well done), but also with Mike. Throughout the process, Mike continued to be always responsive, communicative on next steps, status, and any price adjustments, and did a fantastic job doing exactly what a good GC should do, which is handle most of the decisions, interactions and scheduling, getting the homeowner's input where needed. Even better, Mike drove the project forward as quickly as he could and finished in just over 2 months, which we were very pleased with for how much went into the project. Mike's integrity and attention to detail, along with everything I've outlined above, will make him our first call for any other projects in his wheelhouse, and the first referral we'll give to anyone else

Jeff has now done two major projects at our house. First, he finished off an unfinished portion of…read moreour basement and made a master bedroom, walk in closet, and full bathroom. Yesterday, he completed the remodel of our kitchen - tearing out walls and opening up our kitchen and living room. I will never hire anyone ever again to do work on our house. He communicates extremely well, checks in appropriately, and truly takes great pride in every single detail of his work. The work in both of our areas was just like watching one of those TV shows - super fast, super clean, and in the least intrusive way as possible. If there were more than 5 stars, I would give it to him. We found Jeff randomly a few years ago - he came and repaired our chimney that was falling apart. He was the first one to respond to my request and the job was completed extremely well and fast. I didn't know him at all before he did our chimney - and the rest is now history. You will NOT be dissatisfied, I promise!!!!

On the 12th Mark emailed me saying he was set to do the inspection on the 13th. I had to ask what time my Realitor agreed to without asking me ha. Anyways Mark was super quick to respond and schedule. It was about $450 for a mid / small 2 bedroom duplex. I think he was there for about 3 hours. He was super thorough and explained a couple things to me as he was doing it even though it would put it in the report and I was probably slowing him down. The report was clear, thorough. The categories also help understand what you need to do immediately, soon, and later. His initial email said -Please find my agreement attached with pricing. I can have you sign this if you attend the inspection. Buyers typically make payment using check, cash, Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle. -He also lets you sign his iPad.

The ceiling is now a total mess so we will need to start over.
