Updated Review as of June 29, 2025…read more We have been trying to contact the company about the cracking in the back patio. They have not responded until I went to Yelp and requested a quote under a fictitious name. The cracking in the back patio creates uneven surface which is especially visible during the winter. They addressed it last year when they were doing our front steps by saying resealing the patio will make it look really nice. The patio only got worse. When they were pouring the back patio, they had to stop. Next day they came in with the jackhammers to take out half patio. I asked what was going on and it was explained that the concrete had too many rocks. Why would you only remove half the patio? The side of the patio that was pored with the new concrete has had no issues. If you want to see real reviews about how this company ghosts customers when the job is below par, check out the reviews for T/S Concrete. The owners changed the name of the company, but Tim and Sheila own both companies. The new company includes their son Matt.

Beware - Poor Drainage Work & No Follow-Through Family…read morebusiness (Matt, Sheila, and Tim). I hired them to pour concrete- All work to be pitched properly for proper water drainage- exactly what our contract stated. Instead, the concrete on one side was pitched toward my house, causing water to come inside. Matt promised twice to come look at it, but was a no-show both times. When I first confronted him about ghosting me, he later called ranting about how busy he was, implying he didn't have time for me. He even said it wasn't his fault my house sits low--yet still took the job (and my payment) without hesitation. This company used to be T/S Concrete with terrible reviews -- the name change doesn't seem to have changed the service. The work looks nice and prices are competitive, but what good is that if it damages your home? If you decide to hire, DO NOT make final payment until you confirm proper drainage. Best of luck.

Dan said what McHenry Heating and Excavating would do, and that is what Dan, Zack and John did. The deck demolition and removal project were done effectively, professionally, neatly, and cleaned up all in one day. It was great to have Dan, Zack, and John on site doing the project and each demonstrated how well-trained and skilled they are in what they do. We thank you for a job well done! Jolen & Ed G

He gave me a fair quote and even sent over references of previous clients. Plus he took care of interactions with other contractors for the well and septic system. He also pulled all of the permits. I got some pictures at the end showing a nice, flat plot of land. Very happy with the service.

I needed my trees trimmed. They had not been cared for in a long time. I called 3 different,…read morelocal companies to provide me with bids for this job. Tom from Trees "R" Us, Inc. came out and the first thing he told me was that it was too late in the season to trim the big oak tree. I contacted him just now, in early spring, and he remembered the job, but wanted to come out an take another look. He did so and told me that the oak is still dormant and that he could do it. He scheduled me for the following week. His crew came out and trimmed all of my large trees. They had modern equipment and the right gear. They couldn't use their cherry-picker truck in the back due to my septic field, so they climbed and cut. Up front they were able to use the bucket. The crew did a superb job on all of the trees! When there were questions I had they were addressed immediately and professionally. The work was top-notch and so was the clean-up. All of the guys in the crew worked very well together and were all respectful and very nice! I highly recommend them! Nick Stein, Hawthorn Woods, IL

Pete contacted me in less than 24 hours from the time I opened the project in Yelp and we discussed all the issues that I found over the weekend. He gave me some troubleshooting pointers to try on my own first to see if it resolves the issue. FYI - Those pointers were spot on and my issue was resolved. For those other issues, faucet replacements, valve cartridge replacement, overflow flow repair, and hot water heater expansion tank replacement, he provided an overview of the issues, upfront cost for parts and labor. His prices were extremely competitive and his hours are flexible! The work was done so quickly and issues are now resolved. Pete is extremely professional, honest, and personable. I have Burr Oak Plumbing permanently on my speed dial and will be using Pete for all my future plumbing issues! Thanks Pete!

I hired Raul from Elite Springs to repair my back patio steps that were falling apart, and I…read morecouldn't be happier with the results. He was punctual, professional, and very detail-oriented throughout the entire process. Raul recommended a long-lasting solution for my sinking pavers by pouring a solid concrete base, which gave me peace of mind that the work will hold up for years. On top of that, he went above and beyond by fixing other areas of my patio where the pavers were also starting to sink--something I didn't even ask for. At the end of each day, he took the time to explain what was done, what to expect next, and whether any follow-up was needed. That level of communication and care really stood out. If you're looking for someone skilled in paver installation, concrete, gardening, or patio work, I highly recommend Raul and Elite Springs. You can tell he takes pride in his work and truly cares about his customers.
