Shoreline Concrete

I requested a bid on a small driveway replacement and was totally upfront about the size being rather small, and I told the lady on the phone I understood if they did not want to do it, she had the perfect opprotunity there to decline the job. So being patient I have waited over 3 weeks without a bid or them saying no to the job. Note to you if you don’t want a job SAY SO !

I am Jerry Oaksmith, the owner of Oaksmith Construction a second generation family owned company serving Seattle since 1968. We take pride in our work in jobs of all sizes.
Shoreline Concrete has been an outstanding Concrete Contractor helping us from simple walkways to removing 30 yards of concrete and dirt from a basement on Queen Anne to lower the floor and to create a basement with a full ceiling height. Kieth helped us deliver a stunning basement to our client. Working with Keith has been a pleasure and I never need to call any one else for our concrete needs !

Update:
Shoreline later reached out to me indicating that they had read this review and will address. Really appreciate the response and service. And the driveway and apron continue to look great.

Had Shoreline rebuild our driveway apron and install a concrete drive where a gravel drive had been. They did the work fast and to spec.
They did clean all their tools off in our front lawn which, naturally, put a layer of concrete across most of the yard and killed it. Not sure why they did this when there were plenty of places where they could have washed their tools that didn’t kill the lawn.

We LOVE Shoreline Concrete! Our architect recommended them and we found them to be very professional, polite and most importantly – fantastic at what they do.
We had them lift up our 1909 built house, level the structure (there was an 8-​inch slope to the house), demolish part of the foundation, drive in pin piles, re-​pour the foundation and pour an entirely new concrete slab in the basement and then place the house back down. We also have had them do drainage work for us as well.
All work was performed as agreed and I was amazed that all the work took only a week! I am very pleased with the finished product/​results.
I refer them to friends, family and clients anytime I get a chance. They are fantastic contractors who show up on time, work fast and get the job done! Keith, Bruce and Vince are the best of the best.
I strongly recommend supporting their family-​run business!

We have a problem with rats here on Magnolia. The critters burrow under our foundation wall and up into our crawl space. I have a 2/​3rds basement and ¹⁄₃ crawl space. I’ve had several pest companies out to do rat exclusion and finally one company from Angies List told me that the only way to keep them from getting into the house is to pour a concrete slab in my crawl space so when they burrow they have nowhere to go.
I got several bids (6) for doing a rat slab as it’s called. I was favorably impressed with almost every company I had out, but one stood out above the rest and that was Shoreline Concrete.
They had to dig out the crawl so that when the concrete was poured there would be a minimum of 18″ of clearance from the top of the slab to the floor joists. The only access to the crawl space was through a small opening in the basement.
Here was the job,
Dig a big hole to be able to cut the concrete, and create the opening.
Cut an access hatch to the crawl space on the outside of my house. 30″ x 30″
Make a window well for the opening, similar to the wells around my house. Frame it and pour it.
Make a door for the opening with a vent in it.
Dig out the crawl space so the 3″ of concrete would provide 18″ of clearance minimum for the 600 sq ft of space. Level the space for the pour.
Replace the posts under the house so there would be no post to dirt contact, 3 or 4 blocks needed to be brought in and the posts cut to accommodate.
Did I tell you this job started, then we got the storm of the season, so these guys were digging and moving dirt in the snow and freezing cold weather. They didn’t miss a day, don’t know how they managed to get up the steep hills to get to my house, but they did.
They had Tydi Concrete cutters out to cut the hatch opening, he did an unbelievably good job.
Framed for the well, got a pumper truck out and the concrete truck. Poured the slab and the well in a little over an hour. I mentioned I live on a hill right? Two flights of stairs to get to my front door. So the concrete had to be pumped up from the street level to the crawl space.
Removed the framing, all of the dirt, all of the concrete that was cut and put rock in the bottom of the well for drainage.
Totally avoid disturbing my neighbor’s property who is not even ten feet from my house. And work around my landscaping, which they did, not an easy thing to do. I thought I would have sacrifice some plants for this job but I didn’t.
Provided me with a detailed bid, proof of insurance and when I paid them in full a lien release.
Very professional, easy to work with and I’m patting myself on the back that I had the good sense to hire this company. They didn’t have the lowest bid, but they gave me a fair bid. After 6 different bids, I knew what it should cost, what would be fair. It was an ugly kind of job to have to take on, and the crew they had out were upbeat and worked really, really hard all day long. You go Shoreline Concrete!
I would hire them again, and I highly recommend them for any concrete work.
