There are numerous areas that look substandard, but the part that is most problematic is the area in which stones have completely fallen off. This is a zero-traffic area of my porch, so there is no reason stones should be falling off. Upon reaching out to inquire about the warranty, as it has only been 2 years since the work was performed, and sharing several photos of the fallen stones, I was informed that they only warranty their work for 1 year. Well, thousands of dollars and only 2 years later, I did not expect for stones to independently fall off my house. Now, I have to pay another masonry company to fix Millikan's error.

If you are a millionaire, then maybe this place is fine for you, but still wouldn't recommend. More detail: The actual workers and HR (especially Jessie, who is just very response and the best. seriously, she's amazing) of the company are more than fantastic and kind. In contrast, the owner or appraiser - I think Mike (he has heterochromia), was not only nasty to me, but also lazy. He did not send me an estimate back until I called the company a week later, even though he said he would send it back the next day. Its a shame that the owner is myopic, indolent, and irresponsible.

I hired Kong Crete to resurface my driveway, walkway, and front landing. The driveway was in decent…read moreshape to begin with -- a few cracks, some chips, and an uneven walkway panel -- so this was more of a preventative/curb appeal investment than a major repair. I chose Kong Crete based on their strong Google reviews and Jonas was friendly and knowledgeable during our initial phone call. The base quote came in at $1,967 for the resurfacing with a standard broom finish. I added a brown water-based dye for an extra $250 to help the concrete blend with the neighborhood rather than look like fresh gray construction, bringing the total to $2,217. The contract required a $750 deposit to get on the calendar, with the remainder split across payments before, during, and the day after the work. Worth noting -- credit card payments carry a 3.4% fee and the contract includes no warranty of any kind. What went well: The driveway does look noticeably better overall. The resurfacing gave it a cleaner, more uniform appearance and the broom finish looks good. Jonas was responsive during the quoting and contract phase, and the work itself was completed on schedule in about a day and a half. He also offered some unsolicited but helpful advice about maintaining my rear patio, which I appreciated. To his credit, when I asked him upfront whether resurfacing was a smart investment or if I should save for a full repour, he was straightforward in recommending the resurfacing -- I appreciated that honesty during the sales process. Where expectations weren't met: My main frustration is that several pre-existing defects I was hoping the resurfacing would address are still visible -- small chips, a persistent crack on the landing, and an untouched garage threshold that I thought was included in the scope. The leveled walkway panel has a noticeably uneven surface texture. There's also a significant color mismatch between the landing and the driveway/walkway, which was surprising since both were resurfaced at the same time. Jonas had warned me the resurfacing wouldn't perfectly match the surrounding sidewalk, which I understood, but I didn't expect the resurfaced surfaces themselves to look so different from each other -- especially after paying extra for the coloring. When I raised these concerns, Jonas explained why each issue was either expected or outside the agreed scope rather than offering to address any of them. I'll take some responsibility -- I should have been more explicit upfront about the garage threshold and the landing crack. But as a homeowner paying over $2,200, I was hoping a professional would proactively address visible eyesores that were clearly within arm's reach of the work being done. Communication: There was about a month between paying my deposit and the work being scheduled, which I understood due to personal circumstances. A quick status update during that time would have been appreciated though. After the work was done and I expressed my concerns, the focus shifted quickly to collecting the final payment -- I received multiple invoice reminders within hours on a Saturday while I was at work. It left me feeling like getting paid was the priority, not customer satisfaction. Bottom line for future customers: If your concrete is in rough shape, this resurfacing will be a solid improvement and you'll probably be thrilled with the result. But if your driveway is in relatively good condition and you're hoping to take it from a B to an A, set your expectations carefully. Have a very detailed conversation upfront about exactly what will and won't be addressed -- don't assume anything will be taken care of proactively. There is no warranty included, so what you see is what you get. The work is decent, but I wouldn't describe the experience as one where the contractor went above and beyond to make sure I was happy.

Shane Moseley came to my home in December of 2017. He wrote up a report about the problems which a…read moreprevious contractor had made on my house. He was enthusiastic and seemed experienced and trustworthy. He had good reviews on Angie's List, which I later learned were fake. He gave me a quote for the work ($14,000). Said he scheduled 4-5 months out and required a 50% deposit. I gave him a $7,000 check. That was 17-months ago. He's still not done the work. Several months ago when I was fed up with waiting, I asked him to return my deposit. That I could no wait any longer and needed to find someone else. He confessed he didn't have the money; that he'd spent it. Blamed it on his girlfriend, saying she had accidentally deposited my check to his personal account. But I knew better: It was a classic Ponzi scheme and he'd gotten in over his head. He was borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. He was co-mingling his personal and business accounts, which is a felony. I reported him to the proper authorities: The Office of the Attorney General for Illinois and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. I would not recommend doing any business with Mr. Moseley. Or if you must do business with him, do not give him a deposit. Tell him you'd like a 3rd party to hold the money in Escrow (watch how quickly he drops you!) I think this man is a sociopath and you would best stay away from him. He stole $7,000 from me. That is a fact. Don't risk it.

He always answered calls/texts promptly and happily discussed all sorts of aspects of the project (and even others that we were doing ourselves in the house). He gave us very solid advice and really listened to what we were aiming for. He (and helper AJ) did great work, and the bathroom turned out fantastic. We're super happy with it, and that really says something considering I'm pretty picky and I had a very detailed plan. Price was reasonable considering the magnitude of the work done (every fixture was moved) and the add-ons that cropped up (e.g. repaired and skimmed a bedroom ceiling while they were there, too!). After hearing about so many contractor issues, we were pretty nervous since this is our first house and our first big project, but I feel like we really lucked out finding Shane. We were all paid up and I asked him to come back to do a few final touch-ups - no problem at all. We'd absolutely recommend Shane to anyone.

A quick Google search and a bit of research told me that Mike's Seamless Gutters was the place to call. I found his website and filled out the form for an estimate. Within minutes he called me and pulled up photos of my house on Google Maps and was able to give me an estimate. I let him know that I also wanted gutter guards as well. He told me that he could get to it in about two weeks (which was WAY quicker than I had anticipated). A few days later he called and told me he could do it now. Mike and his assistant showed up right when he said he would and they immediately got to work. Withing a few hours I had beautiful new gutters on my home. Mike said that the gutter guards would arrive in a couple of days and they would come out and install them. Sure enough, while I was away, they came out and finished the job. He left an invoice for exactly what his estimate was and I still think it was the best bargain around. Here's my take on Mike and his company. He's honest, reliable, professional, efficient and really does just want to homeowner to be happy. Well Mike, my wife and I are very happy. Thank you!
