Reviews of local pros in Elgin, Illinois

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!

Blue Construction did a great job building my concrete patio and sidewalk. They also installed gutter ditch drain lines. Rueben was great with coming to the house and helping me decide where to exactly put the patio, and they were very good with addressing my concerns and attention to detail. The workmanship is fantastic, the patio came out better than I imagined. Nancy and Ingrid were great at coordinating with me and were very responsive and easy to work with! I would gladly hire them for any future concrete needs.

I had a large project involving removing and replacing a concrete garage, driveway, top coating a side porch and resetting antique road pavers along the driveway. Blue Construction provided a competitive quote and clear communication during the entire process. They continually let me know the next steps and were punctual for the times they said they would be at my home. The driveway and garage turned out great and really accentuate my house. One of the larger challenges was putting the road pavers. Jesus and his coworker did a fantastic job aligning them with the driveway. I would recommend Blue Construction for any concrete work.

Blue Construction came highly recommended from a next door neighbor that had concrete work done, and we were very pleased too! From start to finish, everything went smoothly. We had complete removal and replacement of front and back stoops, steps and 2 new walkways added/reconfigured. Everything from scheduling the consultation, estimate and appointments, the permit, demolition, design work, inspection, concrete pour, sealing and cleanup went efficiently and as planned. The office staff were responsive and kept us informed. Final cost was the exact same as the quote and was reasonable for the amount of work completed. Thanks Reuben and the entire team at Blue Construction Corp. We are already receiving lots of positive comments from our neighbors! Highly recommend.

Blue did a beautiful job over 2 years ago on my driveway and sidewalk. However after 18 months my driveway is crumbling in so many places . They blamed the concrete company that delivered the concrete saying that they are not working with them anymore because they had similar complaints before . After so many calls , THEY finally called me saying that the owner Felix agreed to redo my driveway and she’ll call me back ( Nancy ) with more details. She never called back. I decided to give up since I tried for so long to have them do something. Such a shame because it really looked like a beautiful job for about a year

Absolutely 5 star from the quote process to the final review of the finished concrete drive and walkways.
Price was right and job ran on schedule. Each one of the crews from demo, to prep and form, to finishing cleanup and coating, demonstrated professionalism and attention to detail in the quality of their work.

Ruben and the Blue team kept us in communication on the progress, delivered on everything as promised, and completed all to our satisfaction. Highly recommend them.

Felix and his team did an absolutely wonderful job on our new stamped concrete patio. A prior company that offered at a slightly lower price completely botched the project and now I'm down quite a bit of money. Blue construction came in and completely redid everything from the ground up. Cannot be happier. They truly look out for the customer and went above and beyond.

I recently hired Blue Construction Corp ,. for a concrete project, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. They completed the job on time, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. The finish is smooth, level, and exactly what we envisioned. Highly recommended if you’re looking for reliable concrete work. Ruben came out to give us an estimate for our concrete project, and he was incredibly professional and thorough. He took the time to understand exactly what we needed, answered all our questions. Thank you very much !
