Mike Hage replaced our asphalt driveway with an concrete one. Work went well and it looked great -…read more- for 3 years. Then started seeing popouts and mortar flaking. The 4th year it was widespread and by the 5th year it was virtually everywhere. I called Mike and he immediate blamed me for using deicers (which I've never done) and would not honor the 5-year warranty. I engaged an expert who said it was due to poor curing and finishing. After much back and forth with no satisfaction from Mike, I've chosen not to pursue the expense of a lawsuit. I don't need his attitude. Come see it or I'll send you photos.

I was in commercial real estate development for over 30 years. I was responsible for the…read moredevelopment and construction of several million square feet of industrial and office buildings. However, this time I was in need of a residential concrete contractor because my second story deck and porch were starting to move and were out of level because the concrete patio area underneath my deck and porch structures was cracking and heaving. My patio door would not close properly! I was concerned that the next freezing and thawing cycle over the winter would perhaps severely damage both structures. I also needed my front sidewalk either repaired or replaced because it was sunken in one spot and cracked in another. I looked on Yelp for some favorable reviews of residential concrete concrete companies. I saw that Hage Concrete Works had some excellent reviews. I knew their location because I had driven by it several times there were also several other concrete contractors to choose from however, I chose Hage to come out and give me an estimate. They also have a great warranty. Mike Hage promptly came out that week, looked at my job, and forwarded me an estimate. It was a complex job, however, their estimate was fair and detailed exactly what they would do to remedy my concrete issue. The estimate detailed specifications for the job that seemed logical. They also had quite an extensive list of previous work. They had done in my area. They were about 6 to 8 weeks out before they could start construction. I was OK with that as long as it was done before winter. I sent Mike an email and said that I would accept their proposal and forward them a check for down payment on the work. Hage hired a residential contractor by the name of New Leaf Restorations to brace up the deck and patio because the old deck posts and footings we're going to be removed by New Leaf and new footings poured below the frost line at a minimum of 5 feet deep and new posts would be installed to on the new footings to support the deck and porch. New leaf came, braced the deck and porch and removed the posts. Then the next day a Hage crew came and removed the old patio and sidewalk. The following day, the forming crew came and prepared both areas for new concrete. The day after that, the new concrete was pumped into place, trawled and leveled out. A long line was stretched from the street where the pumping machine was to my backyard in the lower level. It was quite an operation to observe. The new sidewalk was also poured and they took special care to slope it away from my house so that it would drain properly. Everything is now level again and my patio door closes properly. They took special care to clean up after themselves when the job was done into repair the damaged lawn next to the concrete with new black dirt. I was so impressed with them for taking such care and to be sure that I was a happy customer. I have to say that all the Hage employees and those of subcontractor were very skilled, professional and personable. I have had a lot of experience with construction companies and subcontractors in various fields, and I can tell the difference between a good construction company and one that does shotty work. Hage Concrete Works is a wonderful company to work with and they do excellent work! Their subcontractor is also very good. I would recommend to anybody in need of a good concrete construction company to consider Hage. They are a family owned company that have been in business since 1930. Whether it's a complicated job like mine or an easy job, I'm sure you would be very happy with the work they do and the great employees that they have doing the work.

Scott and Adam were wonderful at running various aspects of our (second Hage) project and the concrete finishing is just fantastic. (Our adult son who is in real estate development saw the concrete stairs and stoops and declared them to be "perfect." I agree.) As a formerly registered Architect, retired General Contractor, and an active real estate developer, I can attest to the extremely high quality of their work, follow through, and communication. They may not always be the least expensive but their work is wonderful and worth very penny. Kit R.

When we were worried about scheduling, he assured us he would be able to get the work done in time, and he did. His guys arrived on time, were friendly and went above and beyond to install the concrete patio. I absolutely recommend them for your concrete projects, thanks again!

The guys started work when they said they would and had the job completed on time. They fixed the slope of my drive, patched a few spots of the foundation, installed a drain under the drive, poured footings for a deck and most importantly they were able to skim my well room cap that was giving us issues. I have given Jeff's number out to multiple people because his work was well worth what we paid. We will have him out again for our next project.

Long story short the the building I moved into has some issues with the roof, specifically water leaks. They came out and not only tested the roof but were patient and generous with answering all the questions I had from simple to complex. They are very professional and courteous, and fun to talk to. To the extent that they came back and did some repairs even though that's not really what they do but they were so simply they were happy to do it. I would HIGHLY recommend their services for whatever engineering need you may encounter. Sorry for the lack of pictures. Thank you again to Kent, Jimmy and Dave for taking such good care of me but also my building mates!
