Concrete Replacement Experts Inc.

Uneven driveway was causing the grandchildren troubles. After a couple of trips we decided to have it fixed. Called Wade (owner) and he was there the next day. The explanation of concrete and how it works was excellent! The crew that did the work were great! Very respectful and they worked when at the house. No loitering or wasting time. The final result was fantastic!

It was time for our Rio Terrace home to get an upgrade, we needed a large section of our driveway removed along with a brick wall. We had numerous contractors pop by with their ideas, cost estimates, etc. and decided on Concrete Replacement Experts. Wade (Owner) stood out from all others, his ideas, experience, attitude and cost estimate surpassed all of the others by 1000%.
Concrete Replacement Experts arrived on time, worked very hard with such a great crew that it actually took us by surprise. Everyone had such a positive attitude and work ethic, always cleaning up after themselves & even helped our neighbours moving some furniture.
I could not be more happy with the finished project !
If you need concrete work done, use Concrete Replacement Experts, you will be pleasantly impressed as will your neighbours.

I wanted to have my concrete driveway resurfaced because it is aged and spalling. I considered various options, including concrete and rubber. I tried to read up on articles on the internet to help determine the best option for my driveway, but was still uncertain. I contacted Wade, from Concrete Replacement Experts, to get a quote for concrete resurfacing. Wade was kind enough to not only message me his thoughts on this, but called to fully explain the mechanics involved in resurfacing using different options. He was able to help me determine my best option and in doing so, he helped me save money and a lot of frustration and regret in the future. Thank you Wade.

Walk looks great. Crew was friendly. Got the work done quickly, even with a rain day in between. A couple of issues along the way, but they were addressed professionally.

Work done August 2023. Reached out to Wade (owner) regarding cracks, one is width wise from sidewalk to end of driveway. Many text msgs with pictures. Several msgs with answering service. Owner never responded. Msgs started January 2024. Involve BBB who tried to contact for resolution. Owner didn't respond to them either. I asked Wade to send someone to reattach the railing they removed to pour the cement. No response. My husband said he would reattach, but that area is cracked, so he didn't want to make it worse.
This is BOB
We make all decisions in this household jointly and my wife has just as much right to speak about the work as I do, its her money too that paid. They did do all the work specified in the contract and we were pleased until 4 months later when the first snow left and she spotted a line completely across the width of the driveway. My wife reached out with a phone call and left a message, then followed up with 3 more phone calls and 2 sets of text message with pictures. No reply was ever received by any means phone, text, email even if just to say sorry cement cracks.
Then to say that my wife is a miserable person is not acceptable, they have not even spoke 5 words.
Everything in our review has been the truth and the issue is that Wade refused to speak to my wife after many attempt to contact.
We will never recommend or use this company again!!!
All this over his lack of any communication from Company Owner

In June 2023, I had my 85-foot driveway replaced by Concrete Replacement Experts Inc. The work crew were extremely professional and worked diligently to complete the work. Unfortunately, 5 months after the concrete was poured, there was substantial cracking. Some cracks span over 30 feet and 50% of my driveway is affected. Once I noticed the cracks, I tried to contact the owner of Concrete Replacement Experts Inc. However, it took several months and numerous attempts before the owner responded. The owner did not apologize for the numerous cracks, nor did he did provide me with a date he would inspect my driveway.

In early May 2024, after numerous attempts to contact the owner and schedule an inspection, he sent me a picture of snow on his lawn, which also showed no snow on his sidewalk and said he would inspect my driveway when the snow was cleared. I told him my driveway was clear, but I got no response. Again, on numerous occasions, I tried to contact the owner to schedule a date for inspection. When he finally responded, he blew up at me and stated he would inspect my "damn driveway" in May when he was in my location. May has come and gone and the owner has not contacted me nor inspected my driveway. You need to read the other negative ratings, because you will notice - a pattern. Whenever issues arise the owner becomes elusive and does not reply when when contacted. Seemingly, the owner had no problem giving me an estimate the day after I called him. Yet now, he states he will show up then doesn't. In addition the company planted lawn seed but the concrete spray killed the seedlings plus the company splashed concrete on my garage.

To date, I have tried to work with the owner without success. Think twice before hiring!! While the work crew was professional, at this point, I would not recommend this company based on poor customer service.
Driveway Cost: $30,000.

We hired Wade and his crew to replace our large residential concrete driveway, front walkway and in front of our house. This was not a small job! The crews worked efficiently, were professional and pleasant. We had to wait several weeks to have a spray coating and landscaping completed, which was in our contract. Wade asked to be paid after the concrete work was completed, assuring us the landscaping and coating would be done. A week or so, we noticed a couple of large cracks in the concrete running from the house to the property line. We texted him several times and received no reply. A couple of texts had to be sent to get landscaping down (new topsoil and seeding), and the coating done. The landscaping was done well with attention to detail. The guy doing the concreate coating was very apologetic that the job wasn't completed earlier and would inform Wade of our concerns about the cracks, which he looked at. After the coating was completed, and a couple of weeks later, the house siding was stained by the spray, which can't be cleaned. All the grass seedlings died due to spraying at the edge of the concrete, which we ended having to replace ourselves. With this amount spent on the project, we expected better customer service from this company and at least a courtesy call back from Wade, regarding the cracks in the concrete. I broke my own rule and paid before the work was fully completed. Buyer beware!

We hired wade after contacting numerous companies about the large job we had. We needed a very large set of stairs totally removed, redesigned, and replaced.

Wade put us in touch with the right people for assessments and construction of the porch that would need to be changed, and took care of the large concrete job himself.

His team was prompt every day and had the work done in a very timely fashion. Wade kept us apprised of any changes required, as well as any issues along the way. He took the time to ensure each service line was located that entered into the home, so it would not be hit.

I have confidence in knowing that our new step is ever going to sink like it did, and that it is done properly. Any concerns or questions brought up to Wade were either dealt with, or a plan was set in place to deal with it.

Overall it was a painless experience for such a large job that some companies did not want to due to the size. I would recommend this company.

I have attached before and after photos of the concrete.

Wade & crew were great from start to finish. Wade's experience and attention to detail was appreciated as we had to deal with the removal of car port supports during the pour and the subsequent curing. Expenses were up front and Wade was easy to get a hold of if there were questions.
Adam & the demo crew were also excellent!
As I have told several neighbours who have stopped by to ask the price and whether I would do just that - highly recommend Concrete Replacement Experts!

Wade explained the project in detail, including estimated costs during the initial quote meeting. The crews always showed up on time, obviously knew what they were doing and showed pride and professionalism in their work. Overall a very satisfactory job that was well done.
