Constraction reviews in Elgin, Illinois

We NEEDED a driveway. It looked as if we were going to have to go back with an asphalt drive, but we were able to replace it with concrete after we talked with Ruben from Blue Construction and received a very reasonable estimate.
I was impressed with the crews they sent out to do the work. They were very skilled and worked hard all day to rip out the old drive, expand and prep for the new drive - all in one day!
Two days later, an equally skilled crew of workers came to pour and finish the new concrete. Again, they did not stop until their job was completed - that’s when they took their lunch break - well into the afternoon! They also needed to build in different pitches for water movement around the house due to it being the lowest in the cul-de-sac. This was certainly the biggest issue we needed to accomplish! Done!
Blue Const. has a well organized admin group, too! They have several members assigned to handle the different aspects of the project: one for proposals, one for permits, one for scheduling, and so on. Even with this many steps, they worked in sync with each other and made the entire process go extremely smooth!
We are very happy with the quality of work, the professionalism of all of the staff and the price we paid! I’ll definitely use Blue Construction for future projects and have already shared their contact info to some of my neighbors! Thanks Blue!!
I’ve included a before and after pic of the project for reference.

The guys at Blue did a great job building a new porch and walkway for us. We did have a small issue but it was immediately taken care of. I would use them again. And highly recommend them. A+ Blue Construction.

We had Blue Construction pour 2 stamped patios for us. We couldn't be happier with the results. The patios look great and we are constantly getting comments about them. From start to finish, the process was smooth and without issue. They were also able to handle an obstacle we were having with the gutters. I highly recommend. We will definitely be using them again for any concrete projects.

Blue Construction did a good job on my new concrete driveway. The crew were polite and professional. I would recommend Blue construction for concrete work.

Did a great job with our new driveway and walk. Also did an overlay on the front porch. Very careful and respectful of our property.

We had a fantastic experience with Blue Construction! They removed old flagstone from the yard and poured a beautiful backyard patio for us — everything turned out exactly how we envisioned it. The crew was professional, courteous, and stayed right on schedule. They left the job site clean every day, which we really appreciated.

Communication was top-notch too. Our in-office contact was always available to answer any questions, and she was incredibly helpful and informative throughout the process, especially via email.

Overall, the quality of work and level of service we received was an excellent value for the money. We highly recommend Blue Construction to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work.

I worked with Blue Construction over the last 3 months on two major projects, one for my driveway and the other for a patio. They are easy to work with, run all the permits on their own, and do a great job. I've gotten several compliments by anyone that sees the work.

It’s worth the read!
Where do I begin? Sometimes I get so excited when there’s dazzling and tantalizing reviews to post, I forget where to start!
I found Blue Construction on Facebook Marketplace. Out of three inquiries for a concrete and landscape job posted on Facebook, Blue Construction was the only company to respond immediately. The owner Felix showed up the next day to provide an estimate on a fairly large project. Despite my best efforts, I had nothing to offer Felix other than crude visions in my brain translated into words. I did my best to explain what we wanted - a mountain of new concrete to replace a weary, dreary, rotting wood deck and crumbling paver stairs and sidewalks around the house. I asked about better back yard drainage so my sump will last more than a year, and some decent landscaping to hide the annoying array of ghastly pipes, vents, and twisty wires plastered to the back of the house. I also wanted to replace a very tired fire pit. Felix took notes, patiently listened, and made a few laps around the house, examining his blank canvas. When he was finished, his words I best remember were, “I will do a good job for you.”
Two truckloads of concrete, dirt, gravel, rocks, rebar, shrubs, questions here and there, various trenches and pipes, and a few short days later, the results were far beyond what I had ever imagined or expected. I stood in awe, hands on hips, shaking my head in disbelief. My slow, teary-eyed clapping and cheering was difficult to suppress. All I wanted to do was follow Felix and his crew around giving out hugs. The wife was annoyed with my starstruck fanboy phase of this project. Between the beautiful hand-picked landscape, expertly formed stairs, and stamped concrete that looks so much like hand-laid stone, neighbors were spreading rumors I was mafioso. How could he afford such luxury, he’s on the take, he looks like that bank robbery suspect I saw on TV, and blah, blah, blah.
But it was Felix and Blue Construction that truly fooled everyone. Their stamped concrete work is artful and impeccable, their project communication constant. The Blue Construction crew worked extremely hard in harsh conditions to get this job done in less than two weeks. Their prices were fair and honest, and I will say this in closing — you are not simply paying for “work” and “materials.” What you are truly paying for is the result of 40+ years of experience, solid work ethics, and trade skills that are unmatched at this level. If you want it done right the first time, every time, call Blue Construction. They will not disappoint you.

Excellent communication, gave quote quickly, got project scheduled as soon as permit was obtained. Did a clean and quality job at a fair price. Even the inspector said this company is the best in the area, and we couldn’t be happier.

Blue did my neighbors concrete work and they came highly recommended. I couldn't be happier. Blue utilized 3 different crews, and they all did their job well. Special Thanks to Nancy for the excellent communications throughout the process !!

From the first time Ruben came out to look at my project, to the bid and then onto contracting, the project went smoothly. They worked with me on scheduling and Nancy was always there to take my call. I would recommend and use them again.

I would like to extend a SPECIAL THANKS to Reuben, Nancy and the entire crew at Blue Construction for great job on my residential driveway. Reuben explained the process on our initial meeting and discussion of the scope of work. Nancy was able to take care of securing the work permits and everything was taken care of in a timely fashion. I am happy that I chose Blue Construction to install my concrete driveway and would highly recommend Blue Constructions for your concrete needs without reservation. They are a solid company and do excellent work!

Good work. Very easy to work with and great experience. I highly recommend. Here's a picture of before, the process and the finish.

Crew worked hard and results showed. Driveway (with the California) finish looks great. Sidewalk to my front stoop was sinking so a couple of slabs were removed and replaced with a slight slope to the front stoop. If you need concrete work done, check out Blue Construction. I recommend!

Best contractor I’ve had to work with and will use them again. They did beautiful work and treated my property with the utmost respect. I had my brick paver entry steps and stoops rebuilt with stamped concrete and I was blown away with the quality. Every person I dealt with was professional and communicated well. I would recommend them to anyone that needs concrete work done.

We recently had a stamped concrete patio installed by Blue Construction and we couldn’t be more pleased with their entire process and installation. From start to finish, their team did a wonderful job - they were professional, courteous and clearly skilled in their work and ability. They arrived on time every day and stayed on schedule working around the weather conditions. Each day they left the work area clean and tidy. In addition, their attention to detail really shows in the finished project. The patio looks fantastic and completely transformed our backyard.

Finally, we were very impressed with their appearance (Blue Construction shirts) that looked new every day and stood out. Their employees really represented the company well. I could not recommend a better company to work with. Ruben (Sales Director) was wonderful to work with. We highly recommend Blue Construction for anyone looking for quality concrete work done right. You will not be disappointed.

Thanks you again for exceeding our expectations!!!!

Had the guys come out to put in a simple concrete patio. Blue Construction had very reasonable pricing and were quick and Professional. We had a few minor hiccups (communication and a vent getting covered) but the guys made up for it. We're very happy and recommend them!

I'd really like to give a better review, but the communication with Blue Construction is just bad. I spoke with Nancy & she gave me a date they would start work. Nobody showed up that morning. I called & found out the email telling me a different start date was sent to a wrong email address. They had a completely different customers work order under my name & it took several conversations with them for them to realize this. So most of the information I was given for the first half of the job was incorrect, late, or non existent. I had to call my town to confirm their work passed the initial inspection & call Blue Construction to tell them before they would continue work. They did take $200 off the balance due because of all the issues & that was appreciated. The quality of work is really good. I am extremely pleased with the end result but I don't think I will use them again because of how bad the communication was. Also, I had to call my town after the work was completed to schedule the final inspection because they never did. So if you choose Blue Construction make sure you prepared to initiate most of the communication.

Highly recommend using Blue Construction! They did our backyard concrete pad, we passed all of our inspections and kept the area super clean with no damage to the property. Project was finished on time and the staff are very responsive. Highly highly recommend!

Wonderful family owned business with 43 years of experience. They are skilled artisans that work well together as a team. From the estimating process to the office staff, the demolition, framing, pouring, and clean up teams, its been a joyful experience to work with such talented, patient, kind and considerate crew members. Even the concrete mix driver went out of his way to remark that these guys are a cut above the rest. Cars are slowing to a roll to admire their beautiful work, along with the stunning transformation, while my neighbors are already asking me about them.

Blue Construction Corp. did a great job building my concrete patio. I’m very satisfied with the quality of their work. They handled everything professionally — ordered all the necessary permits, kept me updated on every stage of the project by email, and were always easy to reach whenever I had questions.

All the work was completed on time, and since I had to leave town urgently, they even agreed to start and finish the project earlier than originally planned. Their price was better than most competitors, and they were open to a little negotiation.

Overall, I highly recommend this company!
