I agreed to have him and his guys take care of the two bricks. Preston had his guys remove the old bricks, before he had any idea if they were going to be able to obtain proper replacement bricks. Well, unfortunately for me the only replacements they could find were paver bricks, not meant for installing on walls ,used in creating walkways. Now I have to hire a REAL masonry / brick laying company to REDO the work Preston and his guys did. Extremely unhappy! Save yourself time and money, pass on EMC Concrete.

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!

RRR was subcontracted to replace three of my basement windows with glass blocks, a task Mark…read morepredicted would take an hour and a half. After completely ghosting on multiple days when he said the installation would happen, neglecting to return texts and calls, sending two guys who brought glass blocks in the wrong size and then telling them to jerry-rig them to fit the frames by using half a cinderblock (???), firing those guys because they allegedly overbilled him for their hours that day, reluctantly ordering larger (aka more expensive) glass blocks and then rinse-repeating with the failure to show up or even get in touch on his stated install day(s), he eventually sent two guys who got the job done in a total of 6.5 hours, in between pulling an all-night shift at another project site. The main takeaways, especially if you've got a smallish project that isn't high on Mark's priority list: Mark massively overcommits himself and his crews, lies about it, is impossible to get ahold of, sends people to job sites unprepared and/or sleep deprived, and either does a pretty bad job of vetting people prior to hiring them or lies about why he fired them. Congrats to the reviewers who've had better experiences, but I'm pretty sure mine isn't a fluke. For one thing, if it had been, it wouldn't have dragged out for two months. If you've got a pretty minor masonry-related project, think twice before going with this clown, or before contracting with a larger company that's using RRR as their subcontractor.

Mark (the owner) came out to look at some foundation issues at my mother-in-law's house and spent…read moreample time assessing the sources of the problem and answering our (many!) questions. The job he performed (removing crumbling skim coating on the house's exterior foundation) was reasonably priced and the work completed in the quoted time. And he's even going to crawl into a small, creepy space under the deck to repair the foundation in a restricted area! He is also helping us address mold issues in the basement, and he pointed out a few other things around the house that we hadn't noticed. He gave us frank, no BS advice. We appreciated that and the extra time and effort he dedicated. Throughout the job he was a reliable communicator with super quick response times. We had interviewed other contractors, but he was different - genuinely helpful, very knowledgeable about the work we needed done, authentic and trustworthy, and just an overall kind person.

I was in commercial real estate development for over 30 years. I was responsible for the…read moredevelopment and construction of several million square feet of industrial and office buildings. However, this time I was in need of a residential concrete contractor because my second story deck and porch were starting to move and were out of level because the concrete patio area underneath my deck and porch structures was cracking and heaving. My patio door would not close properly! I was concerned that the next freezing and thawing cycle over the winter would perhaps severely damage both structures. I also needed my front sidewalk either repaired or replaced because it was sunken in one spot and cracked in another. I looked on Yelp for some favorable reviews of residential concrete concrete companies. I saw that Hage Concrete Works had some excellent reviews. I knew their location because I had driven by it several times there were also several other concrete contractors to choose from however, I chose Hage to come out and give me an estimate. They also have a great warranty. Mike Hage promptly came out that week, looked at my job, and forwarded me an estimate. It was a complex job, however, their estimate was fair and detailed exactly what they would do to remedy my concrete issue. The estimate detailed specifications for the job that seemed logical. They also had quite an extensive list of previous work. They had done in my area. They were about 6 to 8 weeks out before they could start construction. I was OK with that as long as it was done before winter. I sent Mike an email and said that I would accept their proposal and forward them a check for down payment on the work. Hage hired a residential contractor by the name of New Leaf Restorations to brace up the deck and patio because the old deck posts and footings we're going to be removed by New Leaf and new footings poured below the frost line at a minimum of 5 feet deep and new posts would be installed to on the new footings to support the deck and porch. New leaf came, braced the deck and porch and removed the posts. Then the next day a Hage crew came and removed the old patio and sidewalk. The following day, the forming crew came and prepared both areas for new concrete. The day after that, the new concrete was pumped into place, trawled and leveled out. A long line was stretched from the street where the pumping machine was to my backyard in the lower level. It was quite an operation to observe. The new sidewalk was also poured and they took special care to slope it away from my house so that it would drain properly. Everything is now level again and my patio door closes properly. They took special care to clean up after themselves when the job was done into repair the damaged lawn next to the concrete with new black dirt. I was so impressed with them for taking such care and to be sure that I was a happy customer. I have to say that all the Hage employees and those of subcontractor were very skilled, professional and personable. I have had a lot of experience with construction companies and subcontractors in various fields, and I can tell the difference between a good construction company and one that does shotty work. Hage Concrete Works is a wonderful company to work with and they do excellent work! Their subcontractor is also very good. I would recommend to anybody in need of a good concrete construction company to consider Hage. They are a family owned company that have been in business since 1930. Whether it's a complicated job like mine or an easy job, I'm sure you would be very happy with the work they do and the great employees that they have doing the work.

Scott and Adam were wonderful at running various aspects of our (second Hage) project and the concrete finishing is just fantastic. (Our adult son who is in real estate development saw the concrete stairs and stoops and declared them to be "perfect." I agree.) As a formerly registered Architect, retired General Contractor, and an active real estate developer, I can attest to the extremely high quality of their work, follow through, and communication. They may not always be the least expensive but their work is wonderful and worth very penny. Kit R.
