Call Nick and Breaker Brothers TODAY!! Huge shoutout to the team for the incredible job on my new front walkway. They replaced my old, crumbling concrete in record time. I was really impressed by how accommodating they were with my custom requests, including a new landing at the base of the stairs. Great communication throughout the entire process and the speed of the installation was impressive. 10/10 service! read more

Thanks to Nick and the Breaker Brothers team for doing a great job at my home. We had long standing problems with drainage into our garage from the alley. To fix this they dug up the old threshold and replaced it with a nice new curb and bump. Recent rain has shown that this works perfectly. These guys are real professionals and I highly recommend them for works you may be considerin! read more

Highly recommended! My neighbor was getting an estimate to have concrete work done so I asked if they would give me an estimate to replace a portion of my front walk that was sinking and tripping people. It was a small job but Nick was willing to do it when here to do my neighbor's work. It was the end of a long day for them but they made sure it was perfect. And my neighbor's new walkway is beautiful. Very good quality work and attention to detail, at a fair price. These guys do things right. read more

Very happy with my experience with Breaker Brothers. Nick responded to my inquiry right away, came out next day for a quote, and due to a cancelation (and my luck!) the project was completed the same week. These guys work HARD. I dont think a single one took a break. They were even kind enough to lay top soil for me. ​My back yard looks so much better already, and I don't even have grass yet! read more

Aside from excellent concrete work, what I most appreciate about Nick and his crew is their timeliness. When he says what time the crew is going to arrive they show up 5-15 minutes early. He has never been late when it comes to what he promises. We have now used him for two major concrete jobs at our home and I am very satisfied with both. For the quality of work, I think they provide excellent value. Contractors like Breaker Brothers are absolutely the best! read more

Amazing. Clean, Courteous, Fair Priced and great work. Adolfo was very kind and pleasant to work with. I got 6 bids for my job and theirs was the best and most professional offer. They sent a contract and followed up. Highly recommend read more

I found the Breaker Brothers to be very professional and honest concrete contractors which perform quality work with good respectable pricing. Living in Oak Park ,IL you find there is a lot of contractors that do not give honest estimate. I highly recommend the Breaker Brothers Impact For Life JF read more

Nick was very responsive and knowledgeable in concrete. He answered all our questions with patience. However we chose to go with stone installation instead of concrete and hence did not get a chance to work with Nick and the team. However if we need concrete work to be done we will be reaching out to Breaker Brothers. read more

From start to finish, quality job. I appreciate how thorough the initial inspection and work were performed. Detailed notes, specifics that all showed up in the quote. All around great work, super hard working crew. It was amazing to me how efficient and yet detailed the work was done. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or hire these guys again. My first choice for concrete work of any kind. I had three other bids, none of them matched the detail in the bid or the quality of the explanation of the work to be preformed. It was an easy choice and I'm super pleased with the outcome. read more

The service was done in the middle of the pandemic, so it's a bit late. Dom came out and gave me a reasonable quote on breaking out my old sidewalk and pouring a new concrete pad. His small but mighty team worked quickly, efficiently and got the work done in a matter of two days. The work is solid, clean and well done. It made the space so much more attractive. Even my neighbor, who peeked through the fence, had to compliment the work. Thanks, Dom read more

Took me forever to find a concrete contractor to work on our small but necessary concrete project of removing part of our garage's concrete step. Kept on feeling like we were being over quoted or ghosted. Nick from Don's was responsive, professional, and reasonably priced. He came out and reviewed the project. Gave smart alternative options to the plan we had in mind that could actually save us money. Project was done within a few hours and looks great. He kept us updated with photos along the way. Would 100% recommend! read more

After a horrific job and giving another business 2 weeks to fix their crappy artwork, I called Dom and he literally shows up the next day and saw the mistakes within 2 minutes. Instructed that its best to start over (yes it was That Bad) and his crew would be there the next day at 8 AM. They Showed up ON Time with a trailer hitch, bobcat and a few good men. By 4:30 pm, the old concrete had been torn up, hauled off and New concrete laid. This was all within 24hrs. Now my high End Garden She-Shed can go up. The price was beyond and I do Mean BEYOND competitive to the point of the company building my Upgraded 200sqft shed asking for their information because they would use Dom for their other projects. I am so glad that I was able to use him. The measurements were perfect. They used everything to make sure the building will be stable for decades to come. Well worth the experience and $$ read more

Dom and his staff were amazing. Professional from day one. They did my walkway and patio in 7 hours! And finished the next day which only took an hour. The work was excellent, way above what I was expecting and picturing. I can't say enough good things about this contractor. I will recommend him to everyone needing concrete work done! He always answers his cell phone. His pricing was excellent. And I am so happy I found him to do the work I needed done. Pictures below are BEFORE Dom did the work and AFTER Dom did the work!

Dom did a fantastic job for us. We had the concrete in our gangway replaced. I called him on Friday, he came out and gave us an estimate on Sunday, and did the work on a Tuesday. He had a long wait period because he was booked but we told him he could do the work at his leisure if he had a cancellation. Someone cancelled so he and his crew came right out. The broke out the old concrete and put in new. The finish is great, and the concrete is sloped well so it drains perfectly. The price was reasonable. We are very satisfied. read more

Dom's replaced my crumbling brick steps with more sturdy concrete steps and did a great job. I definitely recommend them.

Getting good, trustworthy, honest tradesmen seems so hit or miss. If you don't "know someone" its really hard to wade through and find the best option. Dom is definitely a hit! I really can't recommend him enough for your concrete work. I had four estimates, his was easily the cheapest, and not just by a couple dollars. I could tell immediately that he knew his stuff. Some of the other people who had come out to give estimates were a little wishy washy and just didn't make me feel confident about them. Dom was able to start the work earlier than he had originally mentioned, which was great. They were quick and cleaned up after themselves. We did have one issue related to a miscommunication to some rock I wanted him to put down between our garage and our neighbors. Once I came home and saw that it wasn't quite what I was needing, I mentioned it to Dom and we decided that he would just remove what they had done. No harm no foul. Thank god I had this new concrete put in before all the snow (polar vortexes) this year. We seriously would have had some moisture issues if it weren't for dom and his great job. (Our old concrete had the water running towards the door). I waited until the concrete was down for a while before I wrote the review. 6+months later it looks great, the water ran everywhere it should and nowhere that it shouldn't as all the snow melted. Just the other day our neighbor asked us for the name of "our guy" because he needed to have some concrete work done too. He also mentioned how good ours looked. Seriously, you don't need to hesitate to hire Dom. read more

It's been 4 months and the new sidewalk is great. Perfect pitch -- the water runs off like it should. The only "problem" is that it makes the rest of the concrete look shabby. Update Spring '13. Original work still looks good. Only regret is not having had more work done! read more

If you are planning to contact this business, be prepared to realize that you don't matter to them! My initial impression was actually good....I received an email in response to my initial inquiry stating that Dom would go by my house at his convenience and would provide me with an estimate based on what he saw. When I got the estimate a few days later, it seemed a little low and so I reached out to see if it was accurate. Although I really never got a straight answer after my MANY emails and calls to them, it seems as though he went to the wrong house on his drive by. Apparently his mistake is my loss, because when I did finally get a reply I was told that he was "working at a big job in (insert some suburb) and is too busy to come back"....OK....too busy to come back this week or too busy to come back ever? Hello? Zero response. Dead silence. OK, I get it, I don't matter to you! Note to Dom: While your busy season may provide you with ample work, treating customers like they are not important will not be beneficial to your business in the long run. I'd advise having someone handle your appointments and emails who actually seems to have time to do the job. Everyone deserves a response, whether you are able to do the work or not. read more

We got really lucky by choosing Dom's. We had a problem with a sewer line under our side walkway and I had been focused on the plumber (Tangney, who also is top notch) and not on the concrete. At the last minute I started searching for a concrete contractor and called the top rated ones in my area. Neither returned my calls. I saw a truck for Dom's in my neighborhood and looked up reviews. I called and heard right back from them. Nick Hernandez came over, understood what we needed, which is pretty complex in two areas, and gave me what I thought was a fair price. We ended up having permit issues and needing to meet twice with the engineer and inspector and Nick was on time and completely professional. The work is done and I couldn't be happier that I chose them. Nick did tell me that they will be changing the company name to Breaker Brothers so under either name you will be in good hands. read more

Long overdue review... My condo association contacted Dom back in Sept. 2014 to repair a huge sinkhole in our backyard. Let me begin by 1st stating how disappointed I was that Dom arrived extremely late, which made me extremely late for a workshop. He said he was stuck in traffic, which was a crock of BS. He looks old enough to be my dad, yet when he arrived I had to scold him for his tardiness and gave him a lecture that if you 'supposedly do work all over town, then you should plan accordingly esp. during rush hours'. Ok, so I went to work and when I returned the sinkhole was fixed and dry. He cemented the entire space and created a beautiful patio area. Today, almost a year later and through a bad winter, the ground work is still holding up strong. We also felt his pricing was affordable. I highly recommend him, but you may need to give him a wake up call. IJS read more

Tried Dom based on the reviews here and couldn't be happier. This review is coming a year and a half after he replaced the sidewalk in our gangway. Th sidewalk has two small cracks where he rightly indicated a problem with our porch posts, but otherwise, it looks like it was poured yesterday. Nicely sloped for water runoff and also nicely textured. At the time, I was the condo president and he answered our concerns and was able to work with our specifications. It's obvious the man knows sidewalks and now he's our concrete guy. Good price as well. read more

I am very pleased with the quality of work, promptness and professionalism of Dom. I used them for two projects and was very pleased.

I needed the garage apron redone. I found Dom via Yelp. Dom came out that day to give me an estimate. His price was the lower of two estimates I received. I added a few things to the list including a broken step. Dom totally delivered. He is very knowledgeable, courteous and trustworthy. He didn't even ask for a deposit on the work. I'm so happy with his work that I have now asked him to repave my driveway. He's good people! read more

Dom came out the same day we called to give us a free estimate. We had gotten others, but his seemed the most reasonable. We agreed to have him do the work and he said he'd call the day before they were coming out which he did. The guys were amazing and did a really great job in a quick amount of time. We needed all the cement replaced going up to our house, the bottom step of the front porch had to be removed because it had separated and pitched forward, all the cement down the side of the house and around the back. They did a beautiful job. The cement is four inches thick and they added some really nice details. Reshaped the curves in the front from the stairs, added rebar to tie in the bottom stair so it won't separate again. It all looks so great. Honestly, we dreaded getting this work done for a long time and Dom was so pleasant to work with he made the whole thing easy. read more

Dom and his guys recently replaced our sidewalks, those leading up to the house and the length of the side yard - about 300 sq ft. We had called several other contractors-and actually got a couple of them to come over to give us estimates-but they made it clear that ours wasn't a job big enough to be bothered with. Not Dom. He was very forthright and pleasant from the start, very reasonably priced, and got to the job almost immediately (even though it was the hottest, most humid day we had had this season). It wasn't until we experienced the beautiful job he did that we realized just what a mess we had! He fixed a major problem with water pooling just inside our gate that was a menace when it rained and a real danger when it freezes. We had spots that were starting to crumble and sink in the old sidewalks, and all in all, they were becoming a real eyesore. Dom had to add several inches of dirt to get it all leveled out, suggested a nice curving solution as the walk meets the front steps and proceeds around the side of the house, and though it's been a month since we got our new walkways, we marvel repeatedly about how much they've improved the appearance of our exterior.The only reason we didn't give him 5 stars is that his crew would have made the experience perfect by placing tarps on our lawn and been a bit more careful with our garden. Generally, they cleaned up the site pretty well but might have been more sensitive in this one area. I'm sure that if you have Dom do a job for you and you prompt him to take this into account, he will heed your warning and you will all be so pleased with the outcome. Otherwise, we can't recommend Dom's Concrete highly enough. Wish there were more tradesmen like him! He really knows his business (concrete is ALL he does), did a fantastic job, and we are really very pleased. read more

Dom knows his concrete! We've had work done by him twice, a patio last summer, and a new driveway this summer, in Chicago's Old Irving Park neighborhood. He has a great design sense and both times made suggestions we hadn't thought of. The aggretate style concrete looks fantastic, and our neighbors keep giving us complements on the driveway when they pass by. read more

Dom did our front steps. He was very easy to work with, gave us a fair price and the work was done in a timely and professional manor. I would recommend Dom and nis team. read more

We had a very good experience with Dom's Concrete. He was responsive, his work was good and he was a lot less expensive than other contractors. He put in a new concrete walk way on the side of our building. read more
