His firm is all any homeowner could hope for ... and more. Shear Concrete. He's incredibly reliable, when so many vendors are not. He explains things clearly and stands by his promises. He's courteous to a fault. More than courteous, he's genuinely friendly and outgoing..., in every respect a pleasure to deal with. Important in terms of why we hired Shear Concrete, Trent has a conspicuous pride in his customer service and the quality of his workmanship. It's far beyond what any homeowner reasonably could expect ... and it's at absolute the highest level. Equally impressive, Trent's service is provided at a fair price and at precisely what the consumer was promised. The workmanship was spectacular. Many contractors would think that a sidewalk simply is, well, "a sidewalk". Not to Trent. His design AND workmanship are special ... superb actually. Drive by and see for yourself ... our Beloit address is below. Large brick house on Milwaukee Road, on the right, one lot short of Chapin. Our crowning compliment is that we were so pleased with Shear Concrete's work and the friendly and businesslike approach that we immediately retained the company for ANOTHER PROJECT. Anyone seeking more information is free to call Alan Truesdale @ 608.530.2893 Our address is 726 Milwaukee Road. My best, Alan Truesdale

However a second opinion on the problem says long term fix is to repour the entire patio. Lack of knowledge, experience, accountability and skills to do what we wanted, but was not forthcoming about any of that and we were eventually told it was our fault "I just do what the customer asks", and "I used a shotty product that we don't like and have never used". It got worse the more repairs were attempted. Original look was supposed to be a two-toned stamped concrete; as it stands today it is inconsistent coloring, stamping, brush/swirl marks in different spots, and a lot of flaking and efflorescence (9 mo in). Blisters exist that pop and snap when walked on. Grass was ruined in a large areas for the entire summer too from their stamping templates and not putting plywood down when driving the bobcat around the house. Lawn still recovering in spots. I spent $ on lots of seed. No apologies once, ever, or offers to brainstorm on how to make things right. Told us he was done and offered nothing. ~7-8K spent, and we're left holding the bag to a large expensive problem. Make your own decision based on the review and the pictures. Hopefully in a couple of years they will obtain the experience and skills needed to produce better outcomes on more complex projects. We hope they do and this review can be used to help them hear the feedback and make improvements.

On 8/9/2023 we entered into a contract with RPM Contracting of Machesney Park, Illinois…read more The issues highlighted in yellow (included in a document attached) were not addressed, which was one of the reasons that led to two leaks. RPM struggled to fix the leaks, and we will continue to have problems until the gutters are properly repaired. Due to the leaks, the insurance company hired an engineering firm (Rimkus of Willowbrook, IL, Matter No. 100266257) that produced a report detailing RPM's mistakes. As a result of RPM's failure to fix the gutter or reattach them correctly, my family room ceiling had to be removed by a contractor due to water damage. I also had to hire a plumber because RPM initially blamed the plumbing in the bathroom (which is nowhere near the water damage). RPM then claimed it was the chimney, but a chimney expert later confirmed that the chimney was not leaking, though it did need a crown replacement. His words were, "Water does not flow like that." I now have to cover costs for the contractor, a painter (since multiple rooms suffered water damage, which the engineering report also attributed to the roof leaks), and my attic had been treated with mold-resistant coating, which has now become wet due to the leaks. RPM sent two men, Sean and Mike, to assess the damage, but they incorrectly stated the attic was dry. That same morning, the contractor, and later that week the engineer, both observed water. A hole had even been drilled into the bedroom ceiling to allow water to drain down, instead of along the walls where it was originally flowing.
