WARNING- do your research before working with Dean. Doing a quick search of Precision Concrete Inc. on yelp & the BBB will tell you what you need to know. We hired him for multiple jobs- he did the first few smaller jobs adequately and completed them quickly. We invited him into our home for dinner, he even came to a sporting event that my husband gave him tix for. Given all of this, we felt comfortable hiring him for our garage roof deck. In July - we agreed to a $20k budget prior to starting the project. He & his partner started off quickly as expected since they said the deck would be done by mid-August. A couple of weeks into the job, he asks for $27k. I reinforce that our budget was $20k and that's that. We go out of town for 2 weeks, come back and he hadn't made progress at all. Turns out his partner quit on him & he was trying to find a replacement. Dean then has "heat exhaustion", "knee injuries", "dealing with issues" you name it- excuse upon excuse and this is after we gave him $16k of the $20k. Now we're wondering when he's going to finish and he's not answering any phone calls or texts. We assume he's blocked our numbers since they won't go through. I have told him repeatedly that I do not blame him for juggling jobs and that he can be honest about not coming back until other jobs are completed. Even if he got back to us saying that he will finish in April 2019, we would be patient enough to stomach it. But he refused to ever give us a date. The last interaction we had with Dean, he was very unprofessional- cursing out my husband via text in long run-on sentences. He plays the victim and ALWAYS has some kind of rebuttal/excuse. We're moving on from working with him. Had another contractor come by who reviewed his work and found a ton of issues along with potential exposure to mold on our siding since he didn't cover it properly. In short- we have bigger issues now correcting his work than if we had just worked with someone more legitimate in the first place. Do NOT work with him and do NOT believe any of the stories/rebuttals to his complaints he tells. They are lies, plain & simple. read more

Mr. Schaal,aka Circus Painting and renovation, thank you for your review. We appreciate truthful and accurate reviews of our business. First you claim our business is a joke but offer no reason why. May we ask why you haven't reached out in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract you signed to resolve your personal issue? Second the total of the contract was 28,970, not $23,000 as you claim. You also authorized an additional $13,000 worth of changes that were in addition to the $28,970. You were unable to meet the financial arrangements you agreed to with Precision and have chose to negligently slander a company based on untruthful incomplete information. We prefer facts with dealing with situations. The lien on your property is for $49,000 for unpaid work you authorized and could not pay for along with the tools you detained hoping to use them as leverage to prevent liens being placed on you property, which did not work. You also forget to mention that you and your painting company Circa Painting and renovation rented a storage unit to our company in exchange for credit to be taken off the total owed from your job. November 28, 2016 you illegally changed the locks on that unit and have since sold or disposed of property in violation of Illinois law, may we ask why? Is it because of your frustration of not being able to pay your bill with our company? If you'd like to resolve the issues at hand we are more than welcome, if not that is your choice, we will continue to deliver services to customers that appreciate our company's dedication to solve there problems in an honest and fair manner. We hope that you can get your facts straight and make things right, sooner than later. Respectively , Precision read more

So the work performed was alright. It is the aftermath that is the problem... Had a driveway apron poured and it looks good for the limited concrete work that was done. No expansion joints used against the curbs and sidewalks. Not a big slab so should be ok, but a few winters will tell. Still waiting for the pour to be sealed... Dean doesn't answer the phone anymore after the job is done... Ok, concrete cures for 28 days then they will seal it. This was at the end of September... October and November go by and not a word from Dean. Then come December and I get a letter that my house is being liened because Dean didn't pay the Ready Mix company for the concrete. His phone just rings and his mailbox is always full... What review are you going to leave yourself to defend this TRUE STORY and HONEST depiction of your customer service and customers experience? Not to mention that you left a wheelbarrow full of dried concrete in front of my house for 3 weeks after the 2-day job was done... Please get back to me, I would like to discuss your overdue bills and remind you of the reciepts i have for my payment... read more
