Been waiting almost a year on a driveway. No communication what so ever. Pulled a loan out for the project and everything. Insane.

Been waiting almost a year on a driveway. No communication what so ever. Pulled a loan out for the project and everything. Insane.
I needed a small section of concrete work done so I could construct my garage and I-80 Concreye was the ONLY company who was willing AND able to do it within my budget. Nick was great to work with - very professional, friendly, respectful! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!
Couple months late but Nick and crew did an amazing job with our driveway project without completely blowing our budget. From installing a drain, stairs and walkway that definitely raise curb appeal, to the little details like working around the garage conduit and a few other snags. Communication during the project…
Cory came out after I requested a quote for driveway and walkway. He described what they do, then took measurements. Got a quick quote and it was accepted. Two days and even with their meticulous work it was done beautifully! Such care with bushes and even stuck around for additional two hours to allow some…
Great experience. Easy to get a quote, price was by the far the best I could find, staff and crew great to work with, work was impeccable. Don't call anyone else.
I-80 Concrete has done many jobs for me over the years. Brett and Mark, the owners, are hands down just good dudes that will treat you right. There crews are awesome and they stand by their work. They have done flat work, footings and a pad for my barn as well as cattle barn on our property. I will use them…

Cory came out after I requested a quote for driveway and walkway. He described what they do, then took measurements. Got a quick quote and it was accepted. Two days and even with their meticulous work it was done beautifully! Such care with bushes and even stuck around for additional two hours to allow some drying so bikes would not cross through. Two days later bikes are ok…and 3 days after that I could put my car in garage. City inspector came out and said I have a perfect driveway and the workers did work even beyond what others might do. I am so happy, pleased, and would highly recommend I80 Concrete!!

I-80 Concrete has done many jobs for me over the years. Brett and Mark, the owners, are hands down just good dudes that will treat you right. There crews are awesome and they stand by their work. They have done flat work, footings and a pad for my barn as well as cattle barn on our property. I will use them again and again. I don't give many reviews, but these guys are solid and I would recommend to anyone.
The best company and the best people to work with! They made the whole process very simple and designed exactly what we wanted. We could not be more pleased with how our stamped patio turned out!
Highly NOT recommended. We needed a replacement walkway poured and we went with I-80 because of the positive reviews... we were EXTREMELY disappointed with the quality of the work and professionalism of the crew. The positives: the project manager was great and communication was always efficient. No complaints from that end of things. The negatives: 1) The work itself. They offered a free stamp upgrade, but the crew did such an awful job with the stamping that the PM said they would tear it up and repour the whole walkway. Great, except the repour still doesn't look great: the stamping isn't straight and it's inconsistent, and the concrete itself has irregularities around the border. 2) The crew. They spent the better part of two days laying in our yard smoking and napping. We had to reseed a big part of our yard because of this, and I picked up at least 20 cigarette butts as well as nails scattered around the yard. 3) Lack of cleanliness. They splattered wet concrete on our driveway which is now there permanently. They didn't cover up planting areas adjacent to the walkway, which required a ton of cleanup from us. Overall, I'd stay away from I-80. Maybe we got a bad crew, but until they address that, I can't recommend them.
They were flexible with my wife changing the design and listened to what both my wife and I wanted. They were really good about cleaning their work area! The quality was Excellent!
The Driveway looked good for the first year, then the pitting began. The driveway looks terrible now and will likely need replacing in a few years. I80 did not seem interested in correcting their obvious lack of quality concrete. Absolutely do not recommend.
