Compared to the bigger companies who thought our project was not worth their time, Jeff was eager to offer suggestions and give his thoughts on what would work best. When we were worried about scheduling, he assured us he would be able to get the work done in time, and he did. His guys arrived on time, were friendly and went above and beyond to install the concrete patio. I absolutely recommend them for your concrete projects, thanks again!

If you are lucky enough to read the McHenry Masonry reviews when you start investigating…read morebrick/stone/concrete contractors, you will likely save yourself a lot of time and quite possibly money. You'll notice lots of happy customers! That's what I did when my concrete chimney crown cracked to the point where any rain event would make it's way into the ceiling of my home. As many other reviews have stated, they believed their job was too small to be of interest to any mason, including the McHenry team. Andre seems to be very adept at not only fitting his job review and estimates into very busy and fully scheduled work days, but also the actual work. Very attentive to the needs of his customer(s), and at what I deemed a very fair price. Andre didn't send a team of workers for a one-man job, rather, Grayson arrived, had been fully briefed on what needed to be done, and got right to work. He was able to remove the old/cracked crown, replace it with new concrete, remove the old flashing caulk and re-caulk with quality polyurethane product in a couple of late day visits. I was impressed with how quickly Grayson finished the job, especially from scaffolding he brought up to my roof. These guys have a ton of energy, answer questions with patience, and smile the entire time. Felt like they were trying to impress me and earn my future business, which I really appreciate in a contractor. You'll want to keep their contact information and call McHenry for ALL your masonry jobs. Very impressed with my experience and so glad I called Andre!

Though the product seems good for a home with significant water problems, it is inappropriately…read moreexpensive and intensive for the level dampness in my Minnesota basement. However, the main reason I will not work with this company is the significant and multilayered ongoing disrespect for my family's time and needs I experienced in the inspection process. I was originally scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. appointment on the Friday of Labor Day weekend. I had no text, calls, or people at my door by 2:00 p.m. I tried calling the number in the emails I had received: after going through several bots, I reached a kind woman in Texas who said I would get a call back in an hour. By 3:30 p.m., no one had called me. I found a number for Minnesota. I reached a helpful human named Kate. At 4:00 p.m., three hours after my appointment, I received a call from regional assistant sales manager Jim Graff, who made an appointment for 9:00 a.m. the next day. We once again re-arranged our holiday schedule for this inspection. Though very nice, Jim Graff was at our home for three and a half hours--he left just before 12:30. The original appointment was for two hours, and I was not informed I had to reserve half of my day for this inspection. In fact, his own phone listed the appointment as ending at 11:30. Ultimately, we sacrificed an entire day during a holiday weekend for this estimate. Though I was grateful for Jim's attempt to salvage the situation, his utter lack of acknowledgement of my time was disconcerting. He insisted on plodding through his sales pitch despite my pleas that I had carefully read the website the day before. His sales pitch was geared toward scaring me--"Didn't you hear the beeps?"--rather than providing specialized information that was focused toward my particular situation and budget. He seemed unable to adapt to my requests. His diagrams were impressive and I appreciated his clear explanations of the system, but this could have been streamlined into 30-40 minutes. I was grateful that he was willing to wear a face mask for my family's health needs, but he did not bring inside shoes, take off his shoes, or offer to wear booties, even when I indicated that we did not wear shoes in the house. This small act added insult to injury: I had already spent a day's worth of time getting this bid, and I now had to vacuum for an hour in my son's basement living space. Ultimately, Groundworks sent me a sales person, not a contractor. The sales person had two weeks of training in the system. His expertise was selling the system, not assessing and installing. His moisture meters made little sense and seemed to be a technological gimmick rather than factual data: they had their highest readings in the damp laundry room and bathroom on a very humid day. There was no clear evidence they were measuring dampness in the wall. In addition, I was pressured into signing at that time, which I was very clear would not happen, since I needed to speak to our contractor. Though the product seems very good, I don't recommend Ground works. The no-show inspector, the use of Bots to make it hard to reach humans on the phone, and the lack of my ability to speak to someone technically skilled who could tailor the product to our needs and budget while being respectful of our time made them a no-go. My next bid will be from a neighborhood guy who knows our geography, does the work himself, and promises a no-pressure inspection. Groundworks is simply too big and has ironically separated the customers from people whose expertise is--groundwork.

We had an excellent experience with Hage Concrete Works. They replaced our front walkway and steps…read morewith exposed aggregate, and the finished product looks fantastic. The workmanship is excellent--the aggregate exposure is consistent, the edges and steps are crisp, and the curves and transitions were beautifully done. The new concrete also blends remarkably well with the existing exposed-aggregate steps at the house, which was important to us. The crew clearly took pride in the details, kept the project organized, and left everything looking great when they were finished. We're extremely happy with the result and would absolutely recommend Hage Concrete Works to anyone looking for high-quality concrete work.

It's hard to distinguish between the new and old concrete. The design and layout matches so well, it feels it's always been there. He responded quickly and was overall excellent with communication. He had great recommendations for the project. He worked into the evening some days, did exactly what he said he would and when. He and his crew worked so hard and were so efficient this summer, the whole job was done within a week including the coloring sealing. The amount of dirt they removed to get the forms laid and ready should have taken days if not weeks alone. We were very happy with the process, price, and final project. We enjoyed working with Troy so much and were so happy with what he did, we asked him back to seal our garage floor. Again, he was responsive, communicated well and completed the job within days with amazing results. The price was also very reasonable. Highly recommend.

I hired Ruben's Concrete LLC for a residential concrete project in the Twin Cities area during…read morespring 2025. The job included a new driveway and an extended parking area. While the initial pour looked fine, within just a few days, I noticed several concerning cracks forming throughout the slab--some extended beyond control joints, reached the slab edges, and appeared at transitions between sections. I contacted the contractor and shared photos of the damage. To his credit, he responded promptly and visited the site. During that visit (which I documented), he acknowledged the cracking, pointed out that the control joints were not fully cut to the edges, and committed to returning to make repairs. He explained the plan would involve cutting out damaged areas, installing rebar, and repouring the affected sections. Unfortunately, despite my follow-ups, the repairs never happened. After weeks of silence, he responded but shifted blame to the materials used--specifically the size of rebar--claiming he had advised against it. This wasn't consistent with earlier conversations or the role of a licensed contractor responsible for determining proper construction methods. Later, he tentatively agreed to a date for repairs, but when I sent a written outline of the scope, he refused to proceed, claiming there was no agreement. My final attempts to resolve the issue professionally went unanswered. To date: No repairs have been completed The contractor has denied responsibility A written warranty has not been honored This experience has been frustrating and disappointing. I would encourage anyone considering this company to document everything carefully and be cautious before moving forward.
