Please STOP and READ this before you decide to contract with this company! We decided to have Xclusive remove and replace our 20 year old driveway in the summer of 2023. Six months later our driveway, sidewalk, apron, and walkway are completely falling apart. Xclusive spent 67 days "investigating" the damage only to come back and tell us we did this to ourselves by parking a car in the driveway allowing salt to drip on the concrete. As ridiculous as that sounds, we don't even own a second car that would park outside of our garage. This was after threatening us with $2,000 fee to test the concrete which we refused to pay. They also threated us when we advised we were going to provide our truthful review on social media, which they should know is against the Consumer Review Fairness Act. Nearly our entire driveway is damaged and with the surface falling apart. Our 20 year old driveway looked better. Do yourself a favor and contract with another concrete company that will stand by their work. As it stands, we are now forced to take them to court to have them do the right thing. read more

This is based solely on getting an estimate and interactions with them. I haven't had work done with them so take that into consideration. Score might go up or down depending on the work. With that said, I do have some information I believe is of value to tell you. I requested a quote to repair or replacement of one square section of my sidewalk. It's about 31 inches by 40 inches and I fully expected it needs replacement. So they got back to me quickly and have been very responsive. That's the reason for the positive 4 stars that was given. So you are wondering what's the valuable info? It's that there is apparently a minimum charge. While this may not be a surprise to you, the minimum charge itself may be. They said it would cost me $2500 to replace that one section of sidewalk. That's $2500 not including permit fees, too much for me.... but maybe not for you. In any case, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to them for an estimate in future. Just not for small jobs, as I'm sure I can find someone to replace one square section of sidewalk for less than $2500 +. read more

Xclusive did close to $8000 worth of concrete work for me around my house. In the first year, I got cracks and concrete degradation. I contacted Xclusive Concrete and Sharon first told me that should be expected due to the climate in Illinois. I was not happy with this response so I called back and then Sharon told me it may have been a bad batch of concrete mix. Shouldn't Xclusive Concrete have quality checked the concrete mix before pouring it on my property? I asked to speak to the owner but Tony never called me. I will definitely never be using this company again. read more

We used Xclusive to replace our driveway in July 2023. By February 2024, the driveway was flaking and crumbling. We have been back and forth with Shannon the office manager since February 2024 who stated they would investigate the problem but most likely due to snow and de-icer used on the roads caused the flaking. Huh? We live in a cold climate, you don't plan for cold weather, snow and salt?? We hired a concrete engineer who stated flaking is 100% due to too much water used by their concrete supplier Ozinga. Shannon said they could seal the driveway at their expense but our concrete engineer stated that doesn't fix the damage just seals it. We sent an email over 6 weeks ago to see if they would split the cost of a pouring a new driveway. Shannon said she'd ask Tony the owner and we've heard nothing. This company does not stand behind their workmanship and just provides one excuse after another. We offered to pay for half of pouring a new driveway which we shouldn't have to, and Shannon has ignored us. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT use Xclusive Concrete, they have horrible customer service. read more

I hired this company to do concrete around my house. The job totaled close to $8000. They were friendly and on time and left the location clean. After the first winter, concrete started falling apart in several locations. I contacted the company and was told this was due to weather. However I was not satisfied with the response and asked to speak to the owner. I never got a call back from the owner and then I was told it was a bad batch of concrete mix. Why would I be responsible for their concrete mix? That quality control should be performed by the installer which in this case is Xclusive Concrete. The owner has never responded to me. It just makes my blood boil every time I look at my concrete. I would not recommend this company. read more

You want to work with a company that stands behind their work and will guarantee quality in their execution of the job. Tony and his crew will do that. They replaced my front steps, as well as the pad at the top and bottom. The upper pad developed an issue within the first few days, so they ripped it all out and redid it at no charge. It is now 100%! Mistakes, material failures, other issues.....these things happen. But a good company recognizes that these things are just opportunities in disguise, to prove that they can be trusted to do the right thing. I would definitely use these guys again. read more

Great job on driveway and on sidewalk. Would certainly use again. Highly recommended.

Hired xclusive to do my patio. We went with pavers and very happy with all the work they did! Workers were very friendly and answered all questions we had. Tony helped with all our needs and was on top of everything whenever we needed him. We are very happy we chose them and recommend them ! Check out my pic I posted ! read more

We used them for a brand new back patio that was being stamped and dyed. They left a large 2ft x 3ft area that is much darker then the rest. First they said it would brighten up, then said they could use a release agent to match it with the rest of the patio, then said it was too hot the day they poured and stamped. Finally said there was nothing they could do to fix it after dragging us along for 2 weeks. I would not recommend to anyone especially if you're looking for a company that stands behind their work. Update** was contacted by a project manager and they ultimately ripped out entire patio and replaced. Manufacturer is probably to blame for issues. It looks great now and they truly stand behind their work. read more

We just had a wonderful experience working with Xclusive Concrete. After calling many different services, it was clear that Xclusive was the one service that was the tops. Tony was a true professional from start to finish. He was extremely understanding of our needs and he over achieved on making the entire replacement of our patio and walkway seamless. As great as Tony is, his crew Alex and team went beyond the call, as they were perfectionists. They worked for multiple days as if they were artists. Any question we had were immediately addressed. They wanted one thing and one thing only...make us totally satisfied. Lastly, the backbone of Xclusive is the very cordial and respectful Shannon. Shannon works in the office and manages the entire process. Always helpful and responding to every detail. She was beyond all expectations. It should be clear that without hesitation, we will recommend Xclusive to everyone needing concrete work done. My wife and I thank this group being a class act. read more

About a year ago my neighbor and I hired Exclusive Concrete to demo and replace both a garage entrance apron ramp (18ft x 2ft) and a front entry way concrete slab (5ft x 4ft) in Lincoln Park. While it did take time due to weather and their busy schedule to nail down a date, the whole process (estimate, installation, billing) couldn't have been any easier. These guys are top notch! I highly recommend them. read more

I picked this company for my driveway based upon great reviews here and elsewhere. The job looked very nice but 30 days later a crack developed the entire length of the driveway (50 ft) I have called and emailed pictures , all to no avail. They said they would come out, but nothing has happened for several months and I have a cracked new driveway. Very disappointed. Be careful about doing business with this company. read more

Reached out for a quote on some backyard patio work, he was late to arrive at my home so I never did meet Tony. He was able to quote me for the backyard work, signed the quote to start the work and never heard back from Tony. My husband emailed and called several times and no courtesy of a call back to even confirm they received our quote back. Very unprofessional company. read more

Hired Xclusive to demo my yard and install new hard scape. Tony was on top of the project from beginning to end. We know he had multiple jobs going on but he somehow made us feel like we were his only customer. The workers were friendly, clean and professional. Do not hesitate to call Xclusive for any of your hard scape needs as you will not be disappointed...we will definitely use them again in the future. read more

Absolutely the Best! If you read only one review - make it this one!!! From the process of obtaining the permit to a finishing landscaping touches, Tony and his crews were beyond professional a pleasure to deal with! I am a perfectionist and a total nitpicking kinda guy! so take it from, I constantly worry about every little detail, and our project, of course, was the most special out there! We were putting in more than 850 SQ Feet of concrete, plus pavers at the front entrance, also we had to move a downspout under about 30 feet of new driveway. It was complex! Everything went smoothly as we planned, we are left with an impeccable looking driveway, And if you haven't seen their work - you should! These guys are artists, with great structural know-how and a great attention to details. Tony provided a very competitive quote and there was no sign of any corner cutting! From installation of the reinforcing re-bar, through 42" deep pillars .... all the way to the control joints that are so superbly done, and orchestrated to carry the water out so that no water is retained (and cause ice damage during the winter months). The crews were very professional and during the two days of demo work, left the job site, tidy and safe for kids! Xclusive concrete is a well-respected company and had no issues with the inspectors from City officials. (which I was naturally worried about) Due to concrete finish that we have chosen, the concrete 'pour' had to happen on two separate days. - The end result is just perfect, just as I designed it! =) Shannon in the front office is also a pleasure to deal with, she will take the time to explain the process, adjust the numerous versions of the quotations we had and she has always returned our calls when we had questions! I myself am still in awe of the end results and are grinning every time I get into the driveway. We have neighbors walking up and congratulating us on the makeover, and wanting to do the similar project in their front yard! I can whole heartily recommend Tony and his crew for your brick paver and concrete work. A+ and a Job well done! read more

Xclusive concrete is a great company for new concrete driveways. Tony, their owner, is very efficient and explains in detail what services his company provides when he meets with you at your home to discuss the work you are requesting. Xclusive replaced my old asphalt driveway and concrete sidewalk with a new concrete driveway and sidewalk. Shannon, of their office, is highly skilled in coordinating all permit requests and construction schedules as well as answering any questions both procedural and technical. The installation crew is highly skilled in pouring concrete and creating a California finish for concrete. Recommend this company for installing your new concrete driveway and sidewalks for your home. I interfaced with this company on behalf of my Son, since I am retired, while my Son was working and not available during the day. Bill J for Tim J Des Plaines read more

I am very impressed with Tony and his team at Xclusive Concrete. They have done a very excellent job on the pad for our new garage and even attracted the positive attention of our village inspector! I am having them also do some brick work for a turnaround/parking pad, the prices seem reasonable and they are very professional! read more

Absolutely horrible. The owner "Tony" doesn't get back to you and either does the office. Don't use this company. He will make you wait and then your stuck read more

Received multiple quotes for a replacement concrete porch. Xclusive Concrete was a Top Pick in the neighborhood directory, one of the most reasonably priced, and easy to deal with. Quoted months ago for the job, accepted same price about six months later. My porch is gorgeous. The workers were pleasant, very neat, knowledgeable, and did an amazing job! Made the project a no brainer for us! Highly recommend. Happy to give the five star rating. Kudos to Grace in his office for keeping me apprised of the time frame involved. Thank you Tony & Staff! read more
