Richard and his crew were awesome to work with! Richard was so creative and saw this vision from the beginning. He was meticulous in his work, and even set us up for success by keeping in mind the driveway in his design. His entire crew was so respectful and Richard was on top of his communication and keeping us in the loop. I can't say enough good things about RA Works. Thank you Richard for treating this project like it was on your own home. Your pride and craftsmanship were on full display throughout the entire process! read more

R A Works, is a terrific company to work with in all facets of the job. I called to request a bid on some concrete work that I needed to have completed and they came out the next day. After I explained exactly what I wanted to have done, they asked if they could make a couple of suggestions. I said "of course" and they had a couple great ideas that we incorporated into the plans. I received a detailed bid that night. I awarded R A Works the contract about a week later and they put me in the que for mid-May (we were in early April at the time). Four days later they reached out on a Sunday night and said they had a window for the next day and inquired if that was acceptable. I said "yes" and they were at the house the next morning at 7am. As they were framing for the pour, they called me outside with another suggested design change. My wife thought it was great and thanked them for the suggestion. They explained exactly what they were going to do and went to great lengths with their heavy equipment to avoid any damage to the lawn and village sidewalks. The pour went as planned and the final product looks absolutely great - 1st class workmanship. When they returned to remove the framework, they backfilled with dirt around the sidewalk and cleaned up the entire area. Great experience. Professional; great sense of urgency; quality workmanship; and customer friendly. read more

We had an outstanding experience with R.A. Works Concrete. They removed and replaced existing concrete steps, a walkway, and driveway ribbons and added a new walkway and platform for us. Rich (owner) provided solid recommendations for design, concrete type, and finish options. Also, Rich and his team were very professional throughout the project and perform high quality work. If you're looking for a trustworthy company that delivers results, there's no need to look any further. read more

RA Works replaced a concrete apron and sidewalk for me in the City of Waukegan. From providing a quote through completion of work Richard and his crew were courteous, professional and completed a quality job. Other concrete contractors did not return my calls, I would recommend Richard to anyone looking to have concrete work completed. read more

RA Works did a fantastic job. I needed a new side walk and stairs. He broke up the bad sidewalk and stairs, took away. Made a wider walk way. The stairs needed to be smaller steps, because I have a hard time picking up my legs. Great idea he gave me to make the stairs shorter and a little wider. Thanks RA Works for a great job. Haven't fallen since. read more

Best company ever!!!! I had them remove a concrete area that was really reenforced. I thought that it would take a couple of hours but it took them all day because it was so reenforced and deep. I was impressed how long they spent in the hot weather to finish this job. They were extremely professional and I would definitely use them again in the future. read more

A little over a year ago, after meeting with a few paving companies for my driveway, I selected…read moreManuel and his company because they were easy to talk to, professional on time, and were ready to get started and get the project done. Previously I did not have a driveway - just two gravel tracks. Manuel and his crew were done within DAYS, were super organized (the rest of my yard was literally untouched), and it looks amazing. My garage is set wayyyy back detached from my house, so it is a very long driveway - it's been over a year, and we love it. Several neighbors have asked for his info, even leaving notes in my mailbox, and everyone agrees that I brought up the whole block's value. This is a long-term investment that has already started to pay off. I'll also add that my village, in spite of my permit application being sent in in November, did not tell me until two months later in January that they were going to tear up my street, the gutters, and that everyone's apron (including my brand new beautiful apron) would be destroyed, to be fixed at my own expense. I reached out to Manuel, and without even telling me, the crew came and completely reset my paver apron once the road was done, just out of kindness. Talk about customer service, even after the project was done - thank you to you and your crew again, Manuel! Highly recommend all around for any size project you need.

We were also pleased with the installation of a large stone step he designed that blends into the existing path perfectly. It's so nice to find a contractor who has "old fashioned" work ethics; he and his crew work hard to do an excellent job, at the agreed price, and only considers the job completed after a detailed walk-through to make sure we were happy with everything. We look forward to working with Manuel again and highly recommend him. ~ Janice & Terry, Highland Park

Driveway area not cleared and prepped with adequate gravel base and wood framing. Slab is too high. As a result of poor quality work melted snow and rain water runs onto the garage floor and toward the basement windows. Also vinyl siding is cemented in place as a result. Excess concrete was poured on the lawn. There was no clean up afterward. They left trash from their lunch on the window sills and yard area. An 8 inch hardwood board disappeared from the back yard when they finished. Rene agreed to repair the tire marks in the lawn, but he did not honor this agreement. Very disappointing experience.
