Chris was great work with and provided different estimates and options based on my requests. The worked turned out great with a beautiful backyard patio concrete pour. His crew were experts who moved quickly but with artistry. The price was fair and the overall value was high. I highly recommend Hinkson Construction for your concrete needs! 5 stars!! read more

We contacted Chris to help fix our drainage issues on our property. I was very impressed by how knowledgable he is and how he explained his fix for our drainage issue in a very clear manner. His crew also did a nice and quick job around the house. I am very happy with the work they have done and more importantly relieved knowing that Chris and his crew's work will prevent any flooding from happening. Highly recommend him for your drainage projects! read more

Chris Hinkson and his team handled some foundation and drainage work for us after we moved into our house. Chris laid out the various options and their costs clearly. The job foreman, Jose, and his crew were extremely professional -- making sure to keep everything clean as they repeatedly went under our house and came back up. The work was completed on time and even slightly under budget! I would definitely recommend them. read more

Our house flooded during the big storms with water coming in from a variety of obscure places. It was a huge complicated mess. We had several contractors give bids. They had in common that each was sure what was needed. But we could see how much the things they each knew, were different. We kept looking and found Chris Hinkson. The first obvious difference is he fully explored the situation. He was the only one to request going into the crawl space and crawling all around seeing everything. After taking all the time he needed to look at everything, he started with "it's complicated." Finally! Someone who doesn't patronize homeowners with copy-paste solutions. He spent all the time we wanted talking through his suggestions and answering questions. He was patient, incredibly knowledgeable, a great listener, made everything understandable, and drew pictures so we'd have images as well as words. We were thinking this guy is perfect. But he said we needed a lot of work to take care of everything, so we were also thinking his bid will probably be double or triple the others. We were so wrong. His came in under others who were going to accomplish a lot less. We hired him. His crew was amazing. Incredibly hard working, but also courteous, happy to answer our questions, were so careful when inside the house to not make messes and to clean up at the end of each day. They were perfect too. All the work is aesthetically pleasing as well as functional. They completed the work on time, including a few things we wanted to add in, unrelated to drainage work. They also added in taking all the flooring and sub flooring and carpet that had flooded, which was sitting in a wet mess outside when they arrived, to the dump. Chris estimated how much the additional things would be and said no charge for taking the wet mess to the dump. He did the final walk through today, again spending all the time we wanted explaining everything and drawing pictures as needed. We asked why the invoice didn't include the extra things and he said he wasn't going to charge us for those. One wasn't that small, making a 3-step concrete stairway into a storage room where there'd been 2 awkward steps with a trip-hazard drain pipe in the way. We've hired a lot of contractors over the years. Chris was the best. Not just the best, he was by far the best we've ever had. Every aspect was flawless. One of the many reasons Chris and team are so good is that they specialize on foundations, drainage, and retaining walls. There's no way we'll ever hire anyone but Chris for foundation or retaining wall work. We won't be hiring him for drainage work again but that's because he figured out our complicated mess and fixed it. It was an amazingly good experience, and we are very grateful. read more

Chris provided an excellent, professional and fast service. I was in the need of having an inspection of our new home in contract, with very tight period of time. He made the time to personally evaluate the property and provided report in no time. I feel short on giving 5 stars to Hinkson Construction, and highly recommend Chris for any structural needs. read more

I'm sorry to retract our favorable review. While we remain pleased with the work that was done, we are extremely disappointed to have Chris completely ghost us on an estimate for additional work. After contracting substantial work, we certainly expected to be treated more respectfully than this. Happy he is busy enough to turn down work, but not a very professional way to go about it. read more

Couldn't be more impressed by both the quality of work and customer service. Chris took time to walked through options and clearly align on a proposal, checked in at a midpoint to get input, and did a thorough review with us at the end. Some changes were made along with some additions, based on what they were discovering, and willingly made adjustments to the plan for our better interest. Chao and the team were impressively productive and precise. By far the best clean-up of any contractor/trade we have ever came across. They even took the tree we had removed to help the work, but wasn't their responsibility! (We had downspout routing, drainage, French drain, and sump pump installed) read more

Chris and his team provide all the foundation work for our projects. He is top notch and professional. He holds to his word and never charges for anything that is not needed. I highly recommend Chris Hinkson! read more

Chris did some concrete work for us a few years ago and we started a new project that required not only concrete work but also work on drainage. I passed his name along to our construction company and they got a bid from him as well as a couple of others. Chris impressed our contractor and we gave him the bid. He did a great job and finished on time. Lucky to have him! read more

Chris's crew removed our cracked chimney and fireplace. They were quick and did great cleanup. Highly recommend.

Chris and crew did an amazing job on some foundation work I needed. The crew was respectful of my yard, my animals and left the area cleaner than when they arrived. Overall a great experience. read more

If I could give a negative star i would!! I am a first time home buyer and need some foundation work done so my loan could be approved and my RE agent referred this company. They got paid $45,800 to do my foundation and have completely ruined my house. It is totally uunlevel, squeaks everywhere, not to mention they left all the dirt they dug up mixed in with the brick and mortar they removed. B4 they started you could stand in my basement after they were done u have to almost walk on your knees and I don't have a garage so was planning on using my basement for storage. I told then from the beginning that I wanted to still have walking space down there and was assured that I would. I didn't, and when I called then about it I was told that this was considered a cheap job so they didn't remove any of the dirt . $45800 I guess is cheap to them! Then to top it off I have an alcove that sticks out of the side of my house that is 4'x2' and under this section only there was no foundation put there. Insr a ad they put blocks of wood sitting on bricks!! And left one whole side under my house exposed to the elements and now those wood blocks and bricks a sinking and that alcove is falling off the side of my house!! I have my RE agent call them and he said he finished the job and that was that. He. Never offered go look at it or anything. So I have no choice than to take legal action regarding this, horrible service, horrible work, just an overall horrible experience read more

We moved into our house about 4 years ago and four years ago we knew that our foundation was unstable. Chris was recommended to us by Green Air. He was very knowledgeable, he explained to us that our foundation was terrible because of the lack of drainage. Oh boy! So for a couple of decades the water was been draining under the foundation and concrete. **Sigh** Chris pretty much gave us the straight to the point solution! He gave us a reasonable quote and we were sold! He was very good at addressing all our questions and concerns. He was working on other jobs so he told us we would have to wait(we met him in September) since he was so busy and in high demand. He is licensed, bonded and insured. Well am happy to say we are almost done with the foundation repair project. We are thrilled that Chris and his crew were able to work their skills and talent to fix our big problem! They will not disappoint, they come at the same time everyday and they clean up the job site at the end of the day. I don't have any reservations recommending Chris to any of my family and friends! read more

Hinkson Construction - Chris and his crew fxing our foundation issues! Progress at work... - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

A lot of houses in Concord are built on expansive soil, so after a especially rainy season, the ground expands and contracts after drying up, causing the foundation to settle, which causes cracks in the drywall, windows and sliding doors that don't close properly. We received estimates and proposals from several companies, and Chris gave us the most comprehensive and balanced proposal, with a very reasonable quote. We sat down and Chris explained in details what the plan entails and how we can address the problem. Chris and his crew are professional, courteous, responsive, accommodating, and the job finished ahead of schedule. The quality of work is great, at least so far we have not seen otherwise. I would definitely recommend Hinkson Construction, and seek their help on future projects. read more

Chris Hinkson and his crew just finished a 50' stone & wood fence retaining wall at the boundary between my neighbors' and my property. We had talked with a couple of other vendors, and Chris' proposal for the project was both more attractive and more cost effective. The crew did a terrific job - the wall is now secure and all is cleaned up and in good order. The team was polite and easy to work with, and completed the job in a timely manner. Couldn't have asked for more! With thanks to Chris and crew for a job well done. read more

Chris designed and put in our backyard patio. IT IS STUNNING! Chris worked with us to figure out the exact look and color we wanted for our stamped concrete. I was a little nervous about picking our colors because once you have it done, there is no turning back. Chris put my stressed out mind at ease. He was very knowledgeable about color combinations and stamp patterns. Also, when Chris tells you the times he will be there, he is there. When he tells you the cost. That is the EXACT cost, no surprise overages. He also followed up with us to make sure we were happy with it! Chris' honesty and hard work ethic is greatly appreciated! read more

Chris did a great job repairing some cracks in our foundation. He was very friendly and knowledgeable when we met him during the consultation and was responsive to our emails and calls. Chris and one of his workers started the work on the scheduled day and his worker finished the job that day. Chris then came back a few days later to inspect the work and took photos of it for us. He charged us reasonably and we'd highly recommend him for any foundation work! Thanks again, Chris! read more

Chris came to our house to evaluate our foundation and determine if immediate work needed to be done. In the past we have had contractors who sweep through the house in a hurried fashion, quote us an enormous amount for the work without really explaining what needs to be done and why. Our experience with Chris was the exact opposite. He was professional, knowledgable and best of all fiscally orientated when discussing his pricing rationale and various options. Chris worked with my husband's schedule and genuinely made an effort to explain to us the processes behind the work that we may need down the road. There is no doubt in our mind that we will be using Hinkson Construction for out foundation/construction needs. read more

Chris designed a redwood privacy screen for our back yard. After putting in a pool and spa, we realized that two neighbors looked directly into the spa area. We searched for pre-made type products. Nothing really worked until Chris came up with a design that was simple but attractive. The screen is beautiful from our side as well as our neighbors. We were concerned that the neighbors would complain that we were blocking their views but we received nothing but compliments. Chris is very professional but also a very nice man. In addition, his crew is top notch. You feel very comfortable having them around. We would highly recommend Hinkson Construction. Laz and Kim Garcia Clayton, CA read more

Chris has an honest, direct approach and does fantastic work. He and his crew built a stone wall and installed DG in our side yard. The work was excellent and the crew were respectful, organized and communicated well. Since the wall was built they have done other small projects for us, always done well and on budget. Chris is also easy to work with and shows he cares about the projects he's involved in. read more
