When Jr came out to give us a quote on replacing our asphalt driveway he immediately identified the needs and issues at our site, and even though it was much more expensive than asphalt, we are so happy with our new concrete driveway, it was worth the expense! Jr's crew was excellent and prompt and he was very responsive to my texts every time. We would highly recommend Concrete Doctor! read more

I was incredibly impressed by the prompt response, professionalism, and knowledge of The Concrete Doctors. They assisted me with a smaller project, but I would gladly use them again for a project of any size. Highly recommend!!! Great experience. read more

Not happy! communication is bad and seems like the price changed and not what I was quoted. Now my concrete is cracking.

We had a new patio installed last July and from the first week we started having issues with the sealant chipping. Since then it has just gotten worse. It's everywhere on our patio and looks so bad. They also spilled stain on our patio table and we were told they could come out and fix it and never did. I didn't intend to replace this table yet, and now it looks bad. We have been in contact with Concrete Doctors several times, including the first week it was completed, and over the past year and absolutely nothing has been resolved. This spring we were told it was too cold and the conditions weren't right and now we just get no response at all. I still have high hopes they will come out and restain our patio this summer, but as of right now I'm incredibly disappointed. I would not recommend Concrete Doctors at this point. read more

Just like many projects, sometimes schedule is highly dependent on the weather. When schedules change because of it, communication is key, but it's difficult sometimes. There was a small incident with the lack of communication, which I took away one star. But their performance and value were so good, I would've given them six stars; hence, my review is FIVE stars. JR was very informative about the estimate and the job, and now my new concrete patio looks very nice. His crew was very efficient and friendly also. Can't wait for the weather to get warmer so I can enjoy the patio. read more

I've been reaching out to have them come and repair my concrete that started cracking in less than a few months. They came by and covered it but not too well, and it's gotten worse. Have sent pictures and text, and no response, so it seems I've been blocked or ignored. read more

We are SO happy with the work of The Concrete Doctors! From the beginning, they communicated with us, replied to all our questions right away, and gave us ideas for our patio. We had a gutter going across one walkway away from the house and right away JR suggested they could install an underground pop-up drain. That didn't even cross our minds until he mentioned it and it was perfect. We got a few estimates from different companies for our patio and The Concrete Doctors was the most reasonable by far. They worked quickly and efficiently. They got it done in 3 days. Demo and framing day, concrete pouring day, and then cleanup day including taking the framing out. The guys were very kind and respectful. They cleaned up all the trash and supplies each day. I can't say enough good things. I've already recommended them to family and friends who need concrete work done. read more

I would not recommend them to anyone...  Poor quality work, I am very unsatisfied with my driveway and garage floor. They power washed and sealed my garage floor and replaced my driveway. My new driveway has splash marks and pitting all over. Looks unprofessional as if it was the team first time on the job. Secondly, my garage floor was power washed and sealed with many stains and dirt marks everywhere. After only two weeks, the sealer coat is already flaking off. It looks worse then before they touched my garage floor. Plus, They splashed concrete and sealer all over my bricks of my house and inside my garage. Dirty and messy job which indicates to me they are unprofessional/ unreliable.  I had to hire another service to re-correct my driveway and fix my garage floor with a better coat of sealer. Since Concrete Doctor used cheap material on my floor. read more

After contacting several concrete contractors, the Concrete Doctor provided us with the most comprehensive and professional overview of the work to be done. The crew could not have more professional, courteous, and informative. They left our property looking clean, and the cement work was very well done. We asked for some altercations to the original work, which was done with very minimal trouble. We would highly recommend The Concrete Doctor. read more

Great work, great price, great service and great owner. Junio was great to work with. I highly recommend this company for any cement work ! Thank you Concrete Dr read more

DID NOT FINISH THE JOB - We choose this company to complete the replacement of our garage floor (small 1 car detached) in November 2022. The most generous way I can describe what happened is a miscommunication that resulted in incomplete work. We have a historic home where the garage has been sealed and wasn't able to accommodate a car, we were replacing the entire garage floor and pouring a new apron to the alley. The concrete was done in early November and we then replaced the both doors with new doors and power openers two weeks later (we had to wait 1 week for the concrete to dry). The communication was good initially and we were flexible with the timing so much so that they got to us very quickly when a rainstorm made them unable to complete an outdoor job. I told the owner of the company what our plans was and that once the floor was completed we would be replacing the doors and making this a functional garage before winter fully set in. Fast forward to when they were done pouring, I noticed that under the door facing the alley they didn't finish the threshold, there is a large crack, rough concrete, and it doesn't have the raise lip like they described,. I made a comment to the foreman on site specifically about this area, and while he didn't speak perfect English he assured me it would be fixed once we got the doors in. Two weeks later the doors were installed and I called the company back to complete their work at which point I texted JR (owner) who said he would let me know when he could get his guys back out and how much the additional cost would be. I immediately questioned his response because #1 there was never a disclosure about an additional charge in the contract to complete the job #2 their foreman verbally told me it would be fixed #3 We disclosed the plan and timing all along, if there was going to be a separate charge to complete the job (either in two weeks or next year) why wasn't it disclosed until we had no choice? I was in discussion with JR about issue and trying to find a resolution and needless to say we disagreed, his response was "the job site didn't all us to complete the work" and his assumption was that we weren't going to do the doors until "sometime next year" which didn't line up with my initial comments to him about it wanting it done so we could get our car in before the snow. And in the middle of our discussing JR just stopped responding. So yeah, most of the job was done correctly I just wish they would have finished it. read more

RUN!! Not kidding. The workers and the owner are POS from our experience. The concrete they poured is an amateur job at best (check out pics), but that's not even the worst of it. I asked them to bury my sump pump hose and they said they can do it. When the job was done no one came inside to inspect it or test run it. The sump pump was disconnected on the inside and when it rained 2 days later it flooded my whole basement. When I told Junior(the owner) about it he said it wasn't his fault, which it clearly was. Then he said he reported it to his insurance company and is waiting to hear back from them. When we contacted his insurance company they told us he never filed anything, he told them it wasn't his fault and case was closed. We have multiple text messages of him blatantly lying, saying he reported it and is waiting on their response. He was hoping we'd leave it alone like most people do, but we didn't. At the end he had no choice but to accept blame and pay for whole basement to be refinished. Best part is, when town came to inspect the newly buried sump pump hose it DID NOT pass inspection. Today we also found out his workers punctured our gas line that's connected to the grill and we are now going to have that replaced also. End of the day, I wouldn't wish this type of experience on anyone. Everything from concrete pouring to denying responsibility for obvious mistakes was a complete joke. This kid is going to run the business his daddy started into the ground read more

DO NOT USE THEM. I never leave reviews to negatively impact a company, but I'm telling you do not use this "company." The concrete was cracking, chipping, and flaking 4 months after install. When I called they said they would send someone to come look. They did a terrible patch job and none of the new concrete matched now. 1-2 months later same problem. The owner junior started yelling on the phone claiming we ruining the concrete. When asked when the concrete was staining so easily he said he's a power washer. Then claimed he never said that. Why would one use a power washer on concrete that's chipping away on its own? I've talked to other clients of his and looked at some of the priorities and they all have problems also. Had another concrete company come out and within two seconds they said they used mixed it wrong and/or used too much water. So now I'm left stuck with less than a year old concrete chipping, cracking, flaking, and pitting all over. Not surprised when they contract out workers too. I WOULDNT USE THIS COMPANY IF IT WAS FREE WORK. read more

The Concrete Doctors - Thanks concrete doctor, looks great. - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

The are the doctors of concrete! Do a great job of assessing the problems and administering necessary medicines.

What I hate most about this company is there lack of accountability, there team replaced my driveway. After few days of starting the job, they ran into many complications which pissed me off. They lack experience and have no idea what they are doing. The owner tried to make amends with me by explaining what problems they had, gist was not licensed in my town. In the end, he was asking for more money for no reason. Like I said before, the company lacks huge accountability in which I regret hiring them.  Now my new concrete is all cracked up in every square, just miserable experience. I wish I never hired them or even paid them for such atrocious finished job. I will never us them ever again or recommend them to anybody. read more

They replaced my mothers steps entirely and also a pprtion of her sidewalk. They worked with village of River Grove to ensure compliance with local buildiing code.

Why on god's earth would you cement cable lines and my air conditioner inside my new cement patio and sidewalk. This was just a ridiculous job and I 100% regret hiring them. Not to mention starting a year late and blaming coronavirus to add on to more reasons why this business is so fishy even when they did my neighbors work one block away from me and they are not happy at all...  The pitch was all wrong and water kept going inside my house.... I had to get the entire job replaced by another company. The concrete finish looks horrendous, not even terrible justifies how bad the job looked. It's already cracked EVERYwhere, please just look at the pictures because they will not return my calls or my email. I believe I am owed some type of reimbursement or refund of some type. Not sure how they are still in business with such low quality work.... TERRIBLE.... not even zero stars would do them justice. More of negative five stars is more accurate with all the damages and failure incomplete projects. So many nonsense and stupid made that it will never be justified not even in court.... If you are true to your would come back and give me my refund, and please do not try to say you can fix this because I do not Believe in the company no LONGER and it's already been replaced.... Maybe a bad review will get these guys attention... read more

We contacted The Concrete Doctors based on Yelp reviews and were not disappointed. Jr arrived for the appointment on time and took measurements for our driveway extension. Our village does not allow overnight parking, so we needed driveway space for my husband's work vehicle. Jr. emailed us the quote after the appointment as he said he would and we decided to move forward about a week later. They took care of the permits and began work about three weeks later. Once the area was marked, they made the necessary adjustments as required by the village and passed inspection. The pour happened on a Saturday and they did a great job both with the concrete and with keeping the site clean. At the conclusion of the job, we had some questions and those were navigated in a professional and timely manner. We are more than satisfied with the work and the professionalism of Jr and his crew and highly recommend their services. read more

I've used Concrete Doctors twice now and have absolutely no complaints. Junior is very prompt and responsive. Each time he did a project for us, he started right away and finished same day. Not that I have a ton of experience in concrete but the prices seemed completely reasonable. The first job was a slab of concrete for a custom shed to sit on. Because the shed was custom, he had to talk to my vendor on that side to ensure it would work. While I think that is just what you should do if you really want the business, I know there are plenty of vendors that would just tell you to figure it out. I'm not an expert in sheds nor concrete so me being a middle man just didn't make sense and he agreed. The second job was a walkway from my front yard to back yard. He actually had to regrade the whole side to get it to be level and they did that. They reused the same dirt so that we didn't pay for anything extra and we had our landscapers just cover it afterwards. They also put a stair in to get up to our patio in the yard. Everything looks as good as it could. Not that I've ever had an issue but I get the feeling that, if I did, I could just text him and he'd rectify it right away. I will continue to use and recommend him! read more

Gave me a quote and was already on the job the next day... now that's what I'm talking about. Carmen, the owner, was simple to work with and he sent out a qualified group of guys to correct the steps going to my back door. They were done in a day and the steps look fantastic. Carmen came by at the end of the day to make sure everything was handled properly, and we chatted for a bit. I'd definitely recommend doing work with these guys. Most definitely will be returning if I need any work done in the future but for now we're gratefully all set. Most importantly- thanks for making things straight forward and to the point. read more

I had to get my patio redone because it was sinking into my house. I talked with multiple other companies and Concrete Doctors was pretty much middle of the road cost wise, but I couldn't be happier with the results!! As soon as the weather cooperated this past spring, it only took 2 days for the old patio removal and the new patio set up! I highly recommend this company. Easy to work with and they give advice like a friend would, instead of whatever's most expensive. So glad I found them on Yelp!! read more

I don't know if I got B teamed or what, but Concrete Doctors didn't perform the service I agreed or paid for, and that seems like a big deal when you're pouring big slabs of reinforced concrete. When Carmen, or "Junior"s guys left, I had a brand new, sunken, sloppy looking garage floor. See photos uploaded. I spent the rest of the night learning the hard and fast way how to trowel concrete smooth. Hardly an endearing task after you just paid a company 3k+ to do a better job. I called CD because our old garage floor was sunken and cracked to bits, and we agreed to pour a new floor to raise it up to the correct level plus an inch, because our old driveway was also sunken, but a project for a later date. So this new garage floor would be an inch high to ensure proper drainage slope once the new driveway was poured in future. Junior also showed me the newer side of my garage as an example of how baby smooth the slab would be. On the day, Junior stopped by in the morning for a few minutes before the concrete truck arrived, then left a crew with one good English speaker to do the work. The truck came and they did the job efficiently, though I noticed towards the end they were scraping the bottom of the barrel to barely come up level with the existing driveway. I knew enough about pouring concrete that there wasn't anything to be done about it at that point - ordering a new truck would take too long to pour and mix in with this already setting batch - bottom line was they didn't order enough concrete for the job. Junior also had said they'd be pulling the wire mesh up to center in the slab, but I watched the entire process, and they left that mesh at the bottom. Soon enough the English speaker had left and the last two guys were troweling a soupy, gloppy surface. It was a cool day and the concrete was delivered a bit wet - it was taking its time to set up. The guys kept coming to ask me in broken English if they had done good enough and could leave. The first time I checked it, it looked like a photo of a puddle on a rainy day and was clearly still very wet. I had them go over it a second time... they came and asked if they could leave. It looked terrible. Go over it again. Concerned, I called Junior, who reassured me while asking ME to police HIS crew and make sure they didn't go home until the job was perfect. Really? They called me out a third time, over 3 hours had passed at this point. The job still looked super rough, the concrete was still clearly too wet to trowel nicely, the sun was down, and they kept telling me this was about as good as it was going to get, because clearly they wanted to go home, and as far as I knew, maybe that was honestly as good as they were capable of. At this point they left. See photos of what Concrete Doctors delivered. I spent that night on my hands and knees trying to salvage the surface, if not the height. Of course I brought all this up to Junior the following day when he showed up for final payment, and he was apologetic, but not nearly to the point one would expect as the head of a company that just shorted us on concrete, did a terrible surfacing job on a brand new sunken slab which the homeowner spent the night troweling himself. He also swore the previously detailed crack relief cuts (which he noticed his crew didn't actually do) were now unnecessary. A more excitable homeowner would probably scream, kick, and litigate until Concrete Doctors came back, broke up and hauled away the new slab and did the job right. Now, I have a garage floor that's level most of the way, then kicks down in the last few feet noticeably. I have to figure out how to re-frame out the new garage doors, because the opening on Junior's side of the garage is almost two inches taller than a standard garage door. The bottom of the existing outer trim for the doors, which was at one time level with the old garage floor, is 2+ inches higher than this brand new floor. The concession made for all of these errors together? He graciously subtracted, from the $3000+ total, the 30 dollars I spent on a trowel madly speeding to Home Depot after his crew left. As I signed the check with my blistered hand, I was also treated to a near-earnest job offer for the nice troweling work I did. *EDIT* At first I generously gave a second star for the few good points of the work performed and a modicum of perceived decency. Sadly, the BUSINESS OWNER HAS SINCE VOTED HIS OWN INCOMPETENCE SEEN HERE, "FUNNY", which really ranks him with the worst sort of prepubescent douchebag. These jokesters also operate as THE CONCRETE ADVISORS in another town for reasons I can only imagine. I have a brand new below-grade garage floor, which gets water in it whenever it rains. Concrete is a fairly permanent thing, I encourage you to get it done right rather than turn over your hard earned dollars to the guy who botches the job and laughs about screwing his customers. read more

I've been trying to contact The Concrete Doctors for a couple of months with no response from them. they did 3 slabs of my driveway in 2018 and getting big holes and chips in my new slabs.

The Concrete Doctors created a new stamped concrete patio in our backyard in summer 2021. We were originally satisfied with the experience. In March 2022, we realized that half of the patio is complete spotty with missing color. Note this is only 9 months later. It is very clear that one half of the patio was sealed properly and the other must not have been. We reached out multiple times to The Concrete Doctors and told we did something wrong (salt or cleaning products). This is not true. We did absolutely nothing to the patio all winter. It took multiple attempts to get The Concrete Doctors to assess this situation. I actually don't even know if they physically came to check it - they claim to have done so but never contacted me when they did and now say we would have to pay to fix this issue they created. I would not recommend using this company in the future. We are very disappointed and the patio looks terrible. read more

SCAM ARTIST, best as they come... The "doctors" did a terrible job replacing my driveway. It looks even worse than before! Multiple cracks occurring in various areas, HUGE puddles accumulate when it rains, water flowing towards my house. Causing my home to have drain problems with my basement, a new problem that I have because of this worthless business. Water flows into my basement causing my house to flood, having a leaking basement. Not to mention, there so called "team" that was rude and unpleasant to deal with. They never answer my calls and I am at the point of no return. Extremely angry with there service. read more

Great Company. JR the owner had a flexible schedule and very informative during our initial consultation. He had a an addition suggestion because there was another slab that was on a slant.

I had been trying to get my asphalt driveway replaced with concrete for years. A few contractors would not work on my job because it was "pain" to get a permit through Cook County. Alas I found the Concrete Doctors! They had no issues obtaining the permit needed. JR was very knowledgeable and thorough. The crew that worked on the job were friendly and confirmed the plans with me every step of the way. They cleaned-up extensively after the job, added dirt to the sides of the driveway where needed and followed-up days later. The driveway came out beautifully, the envy of all the neighbors! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get concrete work done with a professional touch by people who actually care about the job they are doing. read more

Had my concrete patio and stoop replaced in my backyard. Junior(the owner) is a sweet talking salesman. He says he knows everything about concrete. Then why does my pad look the way it does? They did not bring any tools which I then had to borrow them. Never saw a level. I had to go outside and be the foreman on the job. The form they framed for the basketball hoop was so out of whack I had to coach them through how to square it up. The level of the pad itself was supposed to be totally unnoticeable. It is about a six plus inch difference from one side to the other. I already have settling cracks after thirty days due to the weak gravel base they put in. They also tarped the concrete with no breathing room and now the tarp outlines are totally still noticeable after four months. I have talked to other concrete guys and they say tarping residential concrete is a no no. So I payed 9000 dollars for probably the worst concrete job I have seen. Do not use these guys. They said they were going to come out and look and have stopped returning my emails and phone calls. Make sure you read the contract!!! They charge you 3.50 a square foot for repairs even if it is warrantied. read more

I will try to keep this review as brief as possible. After receiving other quotes, I contacted the Concrete Doctors. Junior responded quickly and provided the best quote. He was very informative and knowledgeable concerning his trade. There were items of importance to my wife that he included AFTER the quote was provided. She is thrilled with the work that was done. Needless to say, his team did everything he promised in an extremely, professional manner. He is one of the best, if not the best contractor that I have worked with in the past 50 years. If you want the best job, done by the best team at the best price, you will not regret calling Junior at the Concrete Doctors in Elmhurst. read more

Junior came out quickly to quote us (he said they were not the most expensive and not the cheapest - exactly what we usually look for in a price.) They started work immediately after receiving our permit - they were fast and precise. Did a great job of cleaning up everything when the work was complete too! Junior communicated with us while we waited for our permit and while the work was being done. Everything turned out exactly how we wanted. Thanks Concrete Docs! read more
