La Mantia did my driveway 32 years ago, and it has lasted and looks better than many driveways that are newer than mine. I used them again to pour a cement patio in my back yard. I wish I could give them 10 stars for their attention to detail, care to the property while doing the work, cleaning up afterwards, and personable service. My neighbors even commented how thoroughly they cleaned the street and all around. You will love Dominic; he really knows his business. read more

Our driveway was a cracked and crumbling mess. Sealing it was not even possible anymore, so we turned to La Mantia to completely replace it. They were not the cheapest, but we did not want to face the same problems later on by cutting corners. Dominic was great to deal with, as he explained all the facets of the project and the La Mantia crew were thorough and professional. On our project, we needed some additional base stone and we had them remove part of the sidewalk that was awkward and unsightly. I cannot tell you enough how beautiful it looks now, and how happy we are that we went with La Mantia. read more

Dominic and his crew provided excellent concrete work. Dominic suggested widening the stoop to the patio and that has proved very beneficial. The crew was careful when removing the old patio and put up a plywood barrier when doing so to prevent damage to our French doors. They were respectful of our townhome neighbor's property and did not damage any of their landscaping. When the job was complete, they backfilled the areas where the framing was and even replanted two hostas that they had to remove. The patio, with the California finish, looks wonderful and I know we will enjoy it for years to come. I would highly recommend LaMantia Enterprises. read more

Dominic's crew replaced a 50 year old concrete driveway and entrance sidewalk for me at a house in Clarendon Hills. The new concrete looks excellent, and they did a good job of matching the grade to the existing garage floor, front stoop, and public sidewalk while insuring proper slope so water would drain. This was no easy task since the old driveway and walk had settled 2-3 inches or more in places. Dominic kept me informed through the whole process and everything was done as promised for the quoted price. read more

Dominic Firstly, I have never threatened you or anyone connected to your company. I paid you guys because I didn't want to deal with you anymore and end up with you placing some kind of lien on my property. That is the only reason why I paid you. You need to stop whining about the homeowner replacing a garage door and "all of a sudden" the threshold is not level. The original threshold was level, I proved it to you and your foreman when I showed you. The original trim around the garage door is 1/2" above the concrete on the side that is low - how does that happen? The original door was level and the new door is level. The only thing that changed was the concrete. It's true that you quoted me the job 4 years ago. So what? I asked you to update the quote, as even I know that the price of materials and labor changes over time.... You're acting like you did me a favor by doing the job - give me a break! You're in business to make money, you weren't doing me any favors and I asked for nothing more than a fair price. Now, I'm done talking about this with you. Pictures speak a thousand words. You're entitled to respond and defend your company, but I would be careful about making up nonsense about me, this job and things that I allegedly said. I've never issued any threats to you, or anyone else. Grow up!! By the way, none of the concrete work has been rectified. I stated in the original review what remedial work had been performed and it was limited to the driveway. Your guy also removed and replaced some paver bricks on a walkway bordering the driveway, screwed that up and then did it correctly after I pointed it out. My advice to anyone that hires your company is to literally stand over your guys and supervise them, as they aren't capable of supervising themselves! read more

I saw the one star review from the guy who wanted mulch and wanted to counter with my own positive experience with Dominic and La Mantia. A few years back we needed some concrete work - our job wasn't big but it wasn't simple - tear up a broken patio/step, then pour a bigger one, with some 'special needs' - we needed a patio strong enough for a hot tub and also needed some special drainage built in for our sump pump. Dominic's suggestions were spot on! He said for the hot tub we needed a thicker patio to hold the weight, he suggested a specific kind of tubing - and when I suggested that they use a "T" intersection on the tubing to combine the sump pump with a downspout to drain out to the yard - he advised us not to combine them and ran two separate runs - why? He said the downspout would get clogged with leaves - guess what? He was right. I'm so glad the sump pump has a dedicated pipe out to the yard and that we didn't "T" it to the gutter downspout to save $30. Also that hot tub is still sitting on a nice level piece of concrete that's never even cracked - Dominic was right again. The installation was scheduled and done very professionally - They laid down plywood over our grass so it wouldn't get destroyed by the equipment they brought in. They covered our side door with a big sheet of plywood when they were breaking up the old patio so it wouldn't get damaged. They drilled into the existing foundation with tie rods so the patio wouldn't sink where it meets the house like the old one did. Everything was great. This was my experience with them and I would definitely recommend them for concrete work. It is unfortunate that someone had trouble buying mulch from them - I can only say that I was always treated with respect, and that my experience was great. read more

Back in the late 90's we had Dominic La Mantia replace our asphalt driveway with a double-wide concrete driveway and sidewalks along the side and front of the house. He and his crew are excellent at their craft and the nicest people to work with. If we were to deduct a star for something, it would be very minor issues. The concrete sealer was uneven to the point that it was obvious where it was spread (my rusty leaky van made it a non-issue very quickly - LOL). The other minor problem was the front stoop was slightly concave so it held a little puddle of water. We fixed that with a rubber doormat rather than have the thing redone for such a small issue. Bottom line is that we are satisfied with the quality of the work overall and we currently are considering them for our patio project. read more

ZERO STARS FOR THIS BUSINESS. I placed a call to LaMantia for a quote on delivery of 5 yds of mulch. I am not sure why the person answering my call didn't have the information to this most basic request at their fingertips?? I was told that the owner would get back to me. Two days later I still had not received a call back. After calling back a second time I was told that they were "swamped" and that the owner would get back to me that evening. No call back that evening. Irritated, I called a third time, was put on hold while the individual who answered my call got a quote from Dominic, the owner. The quote I received was $450 for 5 yds of mulch??? My response, "no thank you, I will call someplace else". Less than a minute later, Dominic called back to say that the quote was incorrect and that it would be $255. Since I had "the owner" on the phone I took the opportunity to share my dissatisfaction with having to call three times to get a quote (and incorrect quote at that) and asked him if he wanted my business. He flat out told me that he did not "need" my business and that I should call someone else. I have never been treated so rudely or received worse customer service from any business ever. I work hard for my money and want to feel good about how and where a I spend it. If you are the same do not waste your time calling this business. Shame on me for even bothering to call back a third time. They are a local business and I try to support businesses in the community. LaMantia may not "need" my business but they also don't need my bad press! read more
