Review of D&M Concrete driveway installation on 04-12-2024 Choosing D&M Concrete was a Disappointing Mistake. I thought because the company installed a gorgeous gleaming driveway for our neighbor, we could expect the same. Alas, my mistake. Instead of our neighbor's smooth, white finish, our driveway is a mottled mess. (It rained 5 hours after the concrete was poured. No plastic cover was used, despite the early April date.) Instead of razor sharp, straight, even, narrow joints - like the other driveway - our driveway has fat, uneven, rough, crooked joints. ('Hand-crafted' was the explanation given.) Instead of our neighbor's one tiny half-inch crack at the end of one joint, after an entire Wisconsin winter - our driveway has cracks that run all the way down to the base at four (4!) joint ends, with one crack running all the way across the width of the driveway, in less than a month from the day it was poured! ('Those cracks are normal' is the excuse we were given.) And the sidewalk to the porch has an incline instead of the step we discussed, which could prove deadly come winter. We agreed to every upgrade that was suggested to us, bringing the cost to almost $9,000, but the mottling, poor finishing, cracks, and missing step were as gratis as the Western edge, which can barely be seen with the rain damage. ('It will even out in a few months' we were told.) It is a family-run business. Both Dad and Son are friendly and charming, with calming words but no redress beyond a reseal after the rain. (It rained again within a few hours, so the reseal was ineffective.) If I had it to do over, I would not have a driveway installed in April, and I would not gamble on D&M bringing their best game. P.S. Dan, the owner, asked me to wait until September before posting my review of the driveway they installed for us this past April, to give the mottled finish time to 'even out', so I waited. Here are pictures I took today, almost 5 months after the installaton. The mottling, sloppy finish, and wide joints are still evident. The cracks along the sides of the joints are partially hidden by fill, by they are still there, not getting any smaller. I still consider our choice of D&M Concrete a disappointing mistake. read more

This company was hired to do a job for a private party in Madison. One of the employees was obviously not professional, and flipped off the homeowner of the property! Then left!! Come to find out, not only was this employee NOT FIRED, he was chosen over another employee who said he no longer wanted to be associated with this type of behavior. I was appalled to hear this is how their employees not only act, but are treated?? I was considering hiring them, based on knowing some employees. Now, I'll take my money somewhere else. read more

Caveat emptor! This company does not stand by their work. Once it poured they forget about you. They did two driveways for me and my neighbor and there are cracks in town of the squares. Also there's a crack in the sidewalk a big crack. It wasn't pitched right. Tried to call them and they will not return my calls or emails. Be careful! read more

D&M replaced our driveway and expanded it to provide a nice patio around our front door. The quality of the results are excellent. We found them easy to work with and very helpful in making decisions about our options (rebar, thickness, etc.). The workmen were efficient, obviously skilled and polite. They showed extra care around our flower beds and landscaping and did a great job cleaning up when they were finished. We really appreciated the written instructions they provided for how to care for our driveway in the years to come. We'd use them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to our friends and neighbors. read more

would never Recommend this business to anybody looking for a driveway. We have hairline cracks all over the driveway, chunks of concrete chipped out of the driveway. The reason we had the driveway done was because of excessive pooling of water by my mailbox, the problem is worse now than before the driver was done. We asked them to come out and take a look at the driveway and they refused. We were told that if they replaced all driveways that had cracks in them they would go out of business. By the looks of our driveway they should be out of business. They blame it on the weather, if you've been in this business long enough you should be able to look at the long range forecast is let your customers know that the weather is not good enough to do your driveway this year. They are just Money hungry, they did it even knowing the weather was bad. I even questioned whether it was too late year to do this, was told no we have plenty of time. To blame his job and the weather is just poor business. Do yourself a favor and think twice before ever using this company. read more

D&M gave me a bargain price on a driveway plus sidewalk repaving job. They showed up promptly and 8 a.m. and removed the old concrete quickly (it was late November and there was a narrow window of mild weather). The next day, they poured the new concrete and skimmed it to a perfect finish. They even spotted a code violation in my old layout and fixed it for no extra charge. I can't recommend them strongly enough. read more

I had D&M re-do and expand my driveway as part of their larger project for our HOA. First they worked with me on the expanded design and made suggested changes (explaining why) that I hadn't thought ahead on. The guys on the crew were also great--fun to talk to and patient with my many questions to understand what they were doing and why. Learned a lot! Project was done with minimal interruption and the cleanup was good. I think one of the good things, from a customer standpoint, is that you get a packet of information at the start (once you have signed your contract) that details the job, what to expect, how to prepare for it, and a checklist of options (I could choose one for free and took the decorative edging). After the job is done, you get another packet on how to care for your new driveway to keep it beautiful. Coming up on my one year anniversary and continue to enjoy the many compliments I get. Good people, great work, and competitive pricing. R read more
