Sudlow Conrete had the major portion of an expansive project that included separate work by another contractor for the installation of helical piers to stabilize the house’s foundation. Such required close coordination between the two contractors and the scheduling of their respective work efforts in a prioritized. orderly, coordinated and sequential manner.
Sudlow did an excellent job in planning for and accomplishing its work on both the driveways and the retaining wall. Ground prep work and soil compaction was properly completed, reinforcing rebar properly installed, and connection of upper driveway to retaining wall was really done right. Slope of both driveways is excellent (absolutely NO puddles or standing water on either driveway surface after a number of really heavy rains). Finish work of the concrete is outstanding, and the edge and groove work is the best I’ve ever seen.
Can’t say enough about the attention Sudlow paid to properly preparing the foundation for and the building of the poured concrete retaining wall, and the resultant quality of the work as was performed. Workers were courteous and professional, worked fast and efficiently, and were quick to answer questions and explain the work being done. In fact, Sudlow’s work crew was perhaps the best group of workers that I’ve ever encountered. Sudlow’s manager for the project – Aaron – was especially responsive and attentive, and stayed on top of the work from start to finish. Sudlow kept in constant contact over the course of the project, was responsive to my comments and requests, and fell over backwards to ensure that I was satisfied. Clean-up was thorough and complete. The owner, Bill Sudlow, made in-progress checks and followed up after all work was completed to ensure that I was satisfied with his company’s work and final project outcome.
The total project cost was not only lower than 4 other estimates (significantly lower than 3 of them), but it also included additional work that the others did not. The estimated project cost was in fact the final cost (no over-runs or hidden costs), and it was worth every penny from the standpoints of quality of materials and workmanship, performance and outcomes. I’m no stranger to construction work, and I know a good company when I encounter one. Sudlow Concrete absolutely ranks at the top of my list for concrete work, has my unequivocal endorsement as a reference for their services, and will be the only one I will use in the future for any kind of work that falls within their area(s) of expertise.
