Concrete Leveling Walks the Straight and Narrow

As a company it is always positive to hear feedback from your customers and it is particularly nice when the feedback reinforces the company values.  Listed below is a customer testimonial from a project A-1 Concrete Leveling completed this summer.  During the estimate the customer, Craig J. in Amherst, NY, enlightened me about how his organization has a “a board of business cards” on which employees post cards from local companies they have hired.  The card moves toward the front of the “Good” board as others have positive feedback and vise-versa if the company does not perform well. 

Below are comments from an email we received from Craig after we completed his project. 

"I wanted to make sure to drop you an email to thank you and your company for a GREAT job on the sidewalk and especially on the A/C pad on the side of my house.

Thanks again for a great job. It is nice to have a contractor that you can trust!"

And below is the response we received from Craig when we asked if we could post his comments on our blog.

"YES, of course you can use my email for positive feedback on your blog.  I will move your card to the first row of the GOOD side of our bulletin board at police headquarters."

Thanks for your business and positive feedback, Craig; it is much appreciated!

A-1 Concrete Leveling Western New York Division (Buffalo, NY) Helps Raise Higher Education to Higher Ground…

A-1 Goes Back to School at UB

This link above is a video of A-1 Concrete Leveling Western New York Division (Buffalo, NY) raising sunken concrete at the University of Buffalo during the Fall of 2010. This was A-1 Concrete Leveling’s second time back at U of B using our patented concrete pumping system. By raising over 120 concrete slabs, the University of Buffalo saved money, the environment (versus replacing) and down-time.  A-1 raised 120 slabs above grade without slowing down UB’s student population.  Check out how A-1 Concrete Leveling provided another concrete solution in Buffalo.

Experience the A-1 Advantage!!!

A-1 Concrete Leveling is America's Premier Concrete Leveling Company!

The most modern concrete leveling techniques!

• The 1" diameter holes drilled through the slab by A-1 are the smallest in the industry
• Smaller hole size avoids weakening the slabs or raising the slabs too quickly
• A-1 fills the void completely and raises the slab safely

The most environmentally responsible concrete leveling material.

• Limestone-based slurry used to raise sunken concrete is natures' original green material and has stood the test of time
• Limestone is used by farmers to fertilize crops
• Limestone was used over 3000 years ago to build the pyramids!
• Limestone is natural and won't disturb the landscape, in fact, it may help...everyone has received a mailer offering "organic lime treatment" for the lawn

A-1's patented Concrete Leveling System has been perfected over the last 30 years!!!

Facility Managers: Maximize Your 2010 Budget

Since we have entered the final quarter of the year, there are many industrial and commercial properties contacting us as they review their annual budgets. You know the old adage: use it or lose it! If you are like others, the weather may have impacted your ability to make improvements or maintain every aspect of your property. Since concrete leveling is not subject to some of the same weather restrictions, we are helping facilities maximize their end-of-year spend using our value-oriented concrete lifting solution. If your facility has budget spend remaining and sunken concrete, let A-1 Concrete Leveling help you increase your overall performance rating on budget usage!

University of Buffalo: A-1 Goes Back to School to Teach Sunken Concrete a Lesson!

This video was recorded while completing a concrete leveling project at Hadley Village Apartments at the University of Buffalo on March 29th, 2010. We raised a string of centrally located walkway slabs in an effort to eliminate surface water pooling. This saved UB budget dollars, saved their maintenance crew clean-up time from mud tracked into the apartment common areas, saved students the inconvenience of having to maneuver through an area being under construction for a lengthy time and resulted in the desired solution of redirecting the surface drainage of the slabs and eliminating pooling water. Our thanks to the UB staff and students for their support!

"Oops!" says The Nicole of Buffalo! Our foreman, Josh, pointed out an error I made in one of the slides included in this video. Because it would be complicated to replace the slide in the video, I am letting the world in on my mistake (wish I could say that I never make mistakes, but I think everyone knows that's not true...)! So, on the second to last slide in this video, which is titled "The Concrete is Raised & Class is Out!", I mistakenly put in our first year of business as 1997 instead of 2007; why I am stuck in the last century and over a decade behind I do not know, but I made this exact mistake on a piece of literature for the home show in March and had to cut out stickers printed with 2007 to cover up my mistake on 1000 postcards... You'd think I would have learned my lesson (maybe I need to go back to school?). So, while it may sound less impressive that we have only been raising concrete slabs since 2007, rather than 1997, it is infinitely more impressive that we have raised over 4200 slabs since 2007 rather than what would be a much lesser accomplishment if we had only raised that many since 1997! My apology for my error! Thanks to Josh for catching it and pointing it out!
