On 11/10/2025 Bryan Stajura had this to say:
Scot & his crew did an amazing job completing my sidewalks & driveway this summer! Scot provided consistent communication, ensured that all my questions & concerns were addressed, and provide a clear path to project completion. Their team definitely cares about their work and ensuring you are happy with their product. Their pricing was competitive and would absolutely utilize them again. Highly recommend them to others!!

June 27, 2025 Scot and his crew just finished my garage floor, driveway, sidewalk, and front door stoop/walkway replacement and what a wonderful job they have done. It was way beyond my expectations. Their attention to detail is second to none. They did a beautiful job of backfilling and regrading around the site and for a little extra seeded and covered with straw. I would use their services again and highly recommend them to all in need of concrete work. Thanks again to Scot and his crew for all their hard work!!

On 5/11/2025 David had this to say:
After being happy with the pad Shears Concrete did for me last year I again contacted them for an estimate for a patio. I was pleased with the estimate but when he came over he pointed out my error in size I originally wanted. The way I had it in mind I wouldn’t have had enough space to do what I had planned so we went a little bigger. I’m super glad I did that because it is absolutely perfect for what I wanted. He offered to do it as I originally wanted but I know I wouldn’t have been happy with it in the end had I stuck with my original size. Once again, I can’t express what a pleasure it is to deal with this company. Thanks again Scot for another job well done!

A very Professional job! They took their time and it looks great. Cleaned up and replaced sod on edges and added dirt to fill in. I highly recommend Shears Concrete!

On 11/20/2024 Don had this to say:
From start to finish Shears Concrete was great. When Scot came by to look at my driveway he took time to explain what he would do and why. He answered all of my questions and even offered suggestions. Communication was excellent during the whole process. The day that the work started Scot was there to make sure it was done correctly. There were even pads placed on the lawn so the Bobcat would not damage the grass. When the cement was poured Scot was there on his knees, alongside his crew, putting the finishing touches on the cement. When Scot and his crew left I thought they were done but I got a very pleasant surprise. Where sections of the lawn had been removed for the cement forms new sod was laid in those areas. All I had to do was water the new grass according to schedule. It looks great as does our new driveway which has received numerous compliments.
