Wally, call Tommy, tell him "Joe Garf" told you to call him. Not sure if he will travel that far, but he does nice work. He has all the equipment, dump trailer, bobcat, etc. His # is 312-560-2061

Worst time of the year to quote a job. Your better off waiting until next year. Get bids in the winter and start as soon as it gets warm. Don't do the patassium chloride unless it is a rehab. Everyone I know is trying to finish up b/4 the cold.

Wally... give my buddy Dan Farretti a call. He's a local concrete guy, and has all the equiptment. Poured the whole floor in the shop down by RPM's shop, and gave him a smokin deal. I occasionally run equiptment for him when he gets really busy and needs an extra operator.
Plus, he's a Fountain guy.
D' Farretti Construction.....708-259-5575 ask for Danny.

Well....THANK YOU JOE! Tommy is starting the job next week. He's right in the ball park of the other guy we were trying to get to do the work for us. He sounds like a good guy. I owe ya a beer or three!

dukenrock.....i didn't call your buddy, figured it was a bit far for them to travel to the north side of Chicago. Thanks though

10x...i called Dan....spoke to him....he never followed up for an estimate...oh well
