I got a call from James. He did not once try to sell me. Just wanted to genuinely help. He gave me a bunch of useful information. He, also, guided me in the right direction on how to test for water leakage under the house and repair my foundation issues in a, logical and methodical and cost effective, plan. I’m going to follow his suggestions to the T and will reach out to him for anything I need In the future.
James is an excellent specialist and he is a genuinely great guy. He looks out for your best interest and will be honest with you. Highly recommend giving them a call for all and any concrete/foundation work!

James came over for a consultation and estimate of a crack in the concrete near our garage door. He was on time and very professional. He also was honest and knowledgeable about the issue and didn’t try to sell me on a repair that was cosmetic versus structural. He also made sure I understand what was happening and allowed me to make an informed decision about whether to make the repair now or not. I appreciate him taking the time and even sharing a video of the issue so I could understand. Thanks James! Will definitely refer him for any foundation work to my friends and neighbors.
Called to have water damage to painted surfaces near the foundation inspected. I thought there might be damage to the foundation. James immediately saw the problem was that the roof needed rain gutters to send water away from the house. Gave me some great advice which did not involve extensive foundation repairs. He didn’t want to just patch it with a band aid before addressing the source of the problem. Great service!
Dealing with concrete repairman was a very pleasant experience from the beginning with James being on time for his appointment to give me a quote.
To the two Gental men Frank sr. and Frank jr. who were also on time and very professional . This company did everything that they said they would do.
The two Franks did a professional job and explained what they were going to do and how they were going to do it.
And they also did a good job of cleaning up after the job.
I would recommend this company for your foundation repair needs.
It was nice to deal with pro’s
James arrived on time to inspect a foundation issue. He spent 2 hours evaluating the problems and produced a plan that identified the issues and their root causes, and the steps to begin the corrective process. His explanations were easy to understand. I appreciate his thoughtful recommendations and look forward to working with him.
Letter of Recommendation
10 February 2023
I am delighted to recommend Mr. James Belville and his company. His professionalism, expertise and high standards are a model representation that contractor’s should aspire to achieve and the type of individual you want for your project. As an individual, James demonstrates integrity, authenticity, passion for his craft and a genuine caring nature for his clientele.
Having a background in project management, operations and additional experience within the building and construction industry, I can say from experience that I would retain James without hesitation.
In the process of an acquisition, I like many, had a need for a respected, qualified, knowledgeable and experienced company for a specific scope of work that specialized in foundations and drainage. Unfortunately, I was out of the service area for James. However, that did not prevent James from consulting with me not once or twice but three times without being reimbursed for his services. Which, I would have done happily. I would have even paid additionally for him to travel to my location. James spent the better part of three hours of his time assisting me in my endeavor. All that was asked of me was a review. Many individuals in this day and age would not have invested the effort or energy unless there was something in it for them. When I think of traditional values and ethics that we don’t often find in today’s world, James reaffirms his commitment to excellence in that actions speak louder than words.
I have had the pleasure of engaging with James and sincerely believe that he would be an asset to any project. Please consider Mr. James Belville and his company as your construction service provider. I recommend them and look forward to working with James on future endeavors.
Respectfully,
dm
Several months after meeting with James the first time (see 2022 review below), I asked him to return to evaluate the changes I made in the interim based on his recommendations and inspect another area of concern in the garage. As the first time, I found James to be so helpful. I value his thoroughness, his incredible depth of knowledge of all things construction and in particular, the quality of foundation construction of our homes in the Phoenix metro area. Put simply, I trust him (and how many contractors can you say that about?!) and think everyone should consult with James on any concerns with their foundation.
Upon viewing and learning a lot from many of their YouTube instructive videos on foundation issues, I knew I had found the right company in Concrete Repairman LLC. James came out to the house and spent a generous 90 minutes touring every inch of my home’s interior and exterior. Not only did he fully explain all the current issues he was seeing and what they meant, but gave me a point by point list of what I could do to address each one. None of which had to be done immediately and even prioritized which areas to address first. He left me feeling much more knowledgeable about my own home’s condition, reassured me my house wasn’t falling apart (!) and I knew I had just met someone who was a true quality individual who exudes professionalism and courtesy. Every business should have someone like James at the helm.

Great experience with James and Concrete Repairman. The knowledge, experience, and transparency was ?!!! Was professional on time and most importantly a true master at his craft with the integrity to match. Would highly recommend to all ?.
James was excellent. He walked the entire house with me inside and out, looked at foundation cracks and interior and exterior wall cracks. He told me what was going on with my foundation and how to keep it from moving any further, recommended a water control plan and how to check for a potential water leak in one area.
He didn't try to sell me on any foundation repairs and didn't recommend any at this time. He's not a salesman, which I really appreciated. He didn't charge me anything for his time and significant experience and expertise.
I would use him again without hesitation for any foundation or concrete issues. He's the man.

Called as I noticed some spalling/damage on stem wall. Showed up early for appointment (called ahead). Looked at area of concern and confirmed repairs were not required at this time. Provided a good explanation of what was causing the damage and provided some ideas for reducing future problems.

We saw a few cracks in our drywall and wanted to make sure there wasn’t anything structural we needed to address. We first called another company we found on Google. That company told us we “caught the issue before anything major happened” but quoted six-figures for the “high-end recommendation”. As you can imagine that freaked us out but instead of caving to the sales pressure by that first company, we wanted to get a second opinion. We found our way to the Concrete Repairman through a family member who had a great experience with them (why didn’t we ask family the first time?!). James at Concrete Repairman is fantastic! He sent us a text ahead of his arrival and arrived as expected. He took the time to assess our house, inside and out, and spent time explaining what was happening. He was honest, thorough, and patient and didn’t try to sell us anything we didn’t need! Ultimately, he found no issues! What peace of mind! We feel so lucky to have found Concrete Repairman and would recommend them to anyone looking for honest expert help!
James came to look at my house, explained what I needed to do and didn't try to sell me anything. He was very generous with his time. Watch his videos. You'll learn a lot. There are few true experts in this field, and even fewer who will be so helpful without charging an arm and a leg. I highly recommend Concrete Repairman LLC to anyone in need of help with concrete and/or foundation issues.
James was very knowledgeable and honest. I really appreciate him taking the time to examine the cracks in my stem wall. He gave me recommendations to make sure the issues we're seeing don't continue to worsen and told me we didn't need to invest in an expensive repair at this point in time.
A couple of years ago, we had a few concerns regarding some minor stucco cracks and we wanted a second opinion. James knows his craft inside and out, literally. With his mastery of masonry and foundations, he accurately assessed our property and suggested a few ways to prevent issues, largely based on mitigating moisture around the perimeter of the home. His recommendations have helped us have peace of mind. Another company (featuring red and white vinyl-wrapped cars) used fear to coerce a non-refundable deposit payment out of us. James was straightforward that we did not need concrete repair and spent the time to educate us on his findings. He's our concrete expert to help us diagnose future issues! 100% recommended to anyone wanting an HONEST and QUALIFIED assessment.
He came out and told me how to repair it myself! Great guy! Very honest! I was very impressed.

I had some questions about my stem wall and foundation in general. James was running ahead of schedule so he called me to see if it would be OK if he arrived one hour early, which worked great. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and answered all of my questions. The woman I spoke with on the phone when I scheduled the appointment was friendly and helpful too. I would definitely use this company again.
James was professional and on time to view what I perceived as a foundation problem. He assessed the situation and suggested ways to alleviate a leak. He gave me good advice and would not accept payment. What an excellent experience! I would use his company without reservation if I ever had need of his services. Thank you so much!
TL:DR: James saved me close to $8k, identified the root cause of the problem, and we were able to save a large tree.
One of my rental units had buckling of tiles. For the past few months, we've had professionals come out and even an insurance agent. Each foundation expert gave us a different advice and we were left confused. From injecting polyurethane around the house to injection slurry at the affected site. Each recommendation costed between $4-$8k. I met with James, very professional. He took a look at the property and within 5 minutes diagnosed the problem and it wasn't even foundation related! When he told me if was humidity and vapors causing the buckling of the tiles, I kinda thought...this guy believes in voodoo magic. Well, we broke out one the tiles to look underneath and low and behold, the foundation was flat underneath and that the tiles really did pull up. So the fix? Pull out the tiles, re-grout, and set them back in place with grout that allows for expansion such as siliconized grout. Isn't that crazy?? I also speculated that a large exterior tree may have been the culprit of the ground moving. We went outside looked around and he basically said the tree is fine and does not need to be removed. I gave James a great big hug for really helping us with this situation.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Lesson learned: For something as big as a foundation issue, make sure to get several opinions.
It probably seems like James does not need YET ANOTHER five star review, but as soon as you work with him you'll understand that you can't help wanting to write a five star review. The experience in working with this company was exceptional from the very start. Within 24 hours of calling Concrete Repairman LLC and leaving a message, the admin called me back to schedule an appointment for an estimate. She was friendly, professional, and personable to speak with. James was able to come to our home within the week. My husband and I had several concerns about interior and exterior cracks and had done a pretty good job of making ourselves completely freaked out. James listened to our concerns, comprehensively assessed the home, and went out of his way to both educate and reassure us. It turns out that the issues we thought we had were not anything out of the norm. James gave us some suggestions about some regular home maintenance things we can/should do to ensure that normal, little things don't become big things (mostly involving improving drainage around the foundation). In the end, I was relieved to learn that there was nothing 'wrong' with our foundation, but I was also sad that it meant we wouldn't have the opportunity to see James more. He is smart, funny, professional, competent, and generous with his knowledge and expertise. I really appreciated not only being told that things are fine but being given information and facts that helped me to understand and believe that things are fine. I simply can't imagine any way that this experience could have been better.

James was fantastic and very insightful while providing a free estimate for our home's settlement issues. He spent 45 minutes inspecting our foundation and explaining the need for investing in better drainage and backfill, along with a possible gutter system to prevent further cracking. He was honest and pointed out which costly repairs I could make myself rather than pay a professional like him to do. He's not out to make a quick buck, but rather genuinely cares about making sure people's homes are taken care of. I definitely recommend Concrete Repairmam LLC for any and all concrete issues your foundation may have. We really appreciated his professional opinion.
Very impressed with this company. The receptionist was very kind and helpful in getting us scheduled to have a crack in our foundation assessed. James was very honest, informative, and straight to the point. He educated us on how foundations are built, reassured us that our crack was nothing to worry about, and informed us what we should do to prevent true foundation damage. Thank you Concrete Repairman!

James came out to my property to consult on foundation concerns along with water penetration inside my home. He was beyond knowledgeable and helpful on the steps I need to take to rectify my issue. Luckily, this experience cost me $0 with James and my home’s foundation isn’t as bad as the “other guys” made it seem. Thank you!
I truly wish more home maintenance/repair companies were like Concrete Repairman. James came over, right on schedule, gave of his extensive knowledge freely, and put our minds at ease. No sales gimmicks, no consultation fees, no pressure. Just a straightforward explanation on the physics behind what we’ve observed, what to watch for, and how to continue to maintain our home. If we need work done in the future, we will contact James.
James came out to view my stem wall and foundation issues today. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained my issues and gave me recommendations. My issues were not as sever as I thought so I decided to not proceed with any work at this time. James explained the possible outcomes of my decision, which I appreciated.
I offered to pay him for him his time. As a contractor myself I know time is money and our knowledge doesn't come without expense to us. He declined payment, but I found my new concrete guy. So when I build he will be my first call.
I had the opportunity to meet james on a Monday morning. Initially I thought this was going to be a rocky start to my. Week as I had been seeing some concerning pooling of water and breaking off of concrete around my house. James came out and provided me a confident and honest assessment which made out for an excellent start to my week. As a home owner, it’s always challenging finding someone you can trust and this is absolutely one of the good guys. He helped me in brainstorming a solution for the water and also helped ease my worries on what i was seeing around the home. I hope you trust this company as well which really impressed me today.

I cannot say enough nice things about James and his guys. Their knowledge and professional work was outstanding. The repairs to my stem wall by Frank and his crew are fabulous. The work is so good my neighbor wants his foundation repaired. This is the type of contractor you always wish to find. I will use them for all of my concrete work. Thanks James, your the best!!!

James Belville is passionate about concrete, foundations, and truly helping people. The stem wall on our 25 year old home was crumbling and a wall on one side of the house had pushed out and was in danger of collapsing. We called James and he quickly came out and examined our situation. He then clearly explained to us exactly what the issues were with our crumbling stem wall, what the recommended fix was, and then answered all of the follow up questions we had over multiple emails, phone calls and a few more in person return visits. When it came time to do the actual repairs, he and his crew showed up on time, they were very careful and respectful of our property, and they performed master level work. They are craftsmen for sure, each one of them. To summarize: James repaired our stem wall, the end result was better than our highest expectations, and the price was fair and competitive. We give him our highest accolades and would recommend him to friends and family members without a doubt.

I found this company on line and they had stellar reviews. We had a cracking foundation. They came out, gave me an itemized estimate and photographs. They got the work done in 4 days and cleaned up all the mess. They were professional, efficient and I will be using them again to do the other side of my house.
You will be hard pressed to find as ethical and reliable a contractor as James Belville of Concrete Repairman. James repaired a crack in my stem wall in 2011. He told me that the work was guaranteed as long as I lived in the house. The crack reappeared after several years. When getting the house ready to put on the market this year (2020), I called James and he came out to the house. He remembered doing the job, and he agreed to honor his verbal guarantee, even though I did not have it in writing! He scheduled the job and his crew arrived on the day as expected. They did a great job. I'm sure it cost James more to honor the guarantee than I paid for the original job. I've lived in this house for 21 years and I can count on the fingers of one hand the contractors who've done good, honest work. James is definitely one of them!

James and his crew did an extraordinary job with our home in Scottsdale, Arizona. They were very professional and friendly. We had a project that we needed their help with and James (the owner) came out to inspect and assess the situation. When James and I came home from work, we took a look at the outside wall of our home, it seemed as though we didn’t have a hole in the wall at all. We were thoroughly impressed with the professionalism, friendliness and exceptional work they provided for our family. Thank you James and crew for all your help and hard work! We will definitely be using you again and we will refer business if our friends and families may ever need your assistance in the future. Thanks so much! :)
Awesome! James came out to our Father's home last week because we have an issue with stair stepping on the outside walls.
James began with a thorough inspection of the home inside/out, he was very knowledgable, honest, educated us on a few things and kind hearted.
He gave us a wealth of information and advice on what would be the best solution for our situation.
Everything we discussed really helped put our mind at ease and we are now more comfortable moving forward with the process. I would highly recommend James and his company.

James came out to assess the damage that a leak from my pool equipment caused to the foundation of my home.He was very knowledgeable about foundation repair. He provided me with a fair estimate. He sent out his team Frank Junior and Frank the third to complete the work and they did a fantastic job. I couldn’t be happier.
James just left my home. He was able to determine that a leak in a closet was not from the foundation but the roof. He inspected the entire house and pointed out different things I could do to alleviate any future foundation issues. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The inspection was free and there was no high pressure selling to get any of the issues repaired. I would highly recommend James as honest and a leader in his field.

Frank and his team did a great job on our stem wall. They said it would be done in 4 days, they arrived on time everyday and finished on the 4th day. The results look great!
Thankful to have found the Concrete Repairman team. James came out and spent a good amount of time going through our house with us and interpreting what it was telling us. He gave honest recommendations and was very knowledgeable. When it came time for Frank and Frank to do our repairs, they showed up on time, where polite and professional. We ended up having an additional area we needed done, and they got us taken care. I would highly recommend this company!
EXCELLENT!! Sometimes it is difficult to find someone that will give you an honest estimate and do quality work. However, James is the exception! He viewed our home, told us the things we could do on our own to make it better. He could have easily kept the knowledge to himself, because doing so took money out of his pocket. But he cared enough about his craft and us as a customer/homeowner to tell us the truth. Now, that's someone that truly cares about what he does and his customer. Great guy and I would recommend him any day!! Thanks!
Cracks had started appearing in my home that were causing concern. I gave Concrete Repairman LLC a call and was pleased to find out that James could come out the next day. James truly made me feel at ease about the state of my home. He is extremely knowledgeable and freely explains the issues and how to prevent or repair them in a way that is easy to understand. James is by far one of the best contractors I have dealt with. I trust his assessment because he was able to clearly outline the issues and let us know ways we could manage certain things ourselves. He was professional, courteous, and friendly. I would gladly recommend James to anyone who is even the slightest bit concerned they may have a foundation problem. If I need repair in the future, Concrete Repairman will be the company I use.

We had such a great experience with the company. James was so honest, professional, and courteous. We have dry wall cracks.He told us we need to put the rain gutter and dirt grading, and monitor it for a whole year, then we should be good. He didn't even charge a thing for all his advices and time taken for the inspection. We are feeling so blessed to find him and it made our day to know there are honest people out there shining their lights in this materialistic world , and we will definitely refer him to our family and friends and all the best to your business James!
I contacted Concrete Repairman LLC because they had made some thorough structuralv foundation repairs to the house of a close friend of mine. That work was done on-time, and the house looks better than new.
James arrived at exactly the scheduled time. He spent a full hour with me, inspecting my foundation and floor, answering my questions, and giving me a detailed explanation of how my house foundation was put together by the original home builder. He then went on to make suggestions as to how I can solve certain issues at minimal cost myself, and what drainage changes I should make in order to avoid future issues.
In a delightful contrast to high pressure sales experiences I have had with other companies, in the end James recommended that I not retain his company for the repairs I'm considering since they are easy and inexpensive for a novice to perform.
Since James had spent his time explaining everything to me, and since I had anticipated that the hour he spent should be worth something, I asked what I owed him for his time... He refused to charge me! Wow!
What a refreshing difference, versus several other companies I have recently interacted with!
I would wholeheartedly recommend Concrete Repairman LLC, if you are wondering whether your home needs professional repair.
James is amazing. I was a little concerned about some issues/cracks along my foundation. James was incredibly generous in sharing some of his knowledge with me, eased my concerns, and gave me some simple pointers to help keep my foundation in tip top shape.
If you need some concrete work done, call James!
James and his extremely skilled and courteous crew were fantastic! We had foundation issues after living in our home for over 25 years. Horizontal cracking pretty much all around the base. Vertical cracking on the corners. James came in and explained what was happening and how exactly his team would come in and repair the foundation, making it better than when it was built. The team was on time every day and took all the care in the world to protect plants and our newly landscaped yard. They cleaned up and no one would ever know they were here, except for the fact we have no cracking at ALL! It is beautiful. No one can beat the professionalism and knowledge of James and his team. I would recommend Concrete Repairman to anyone who wants a quality job done right! Thank you all again for a phenomenal job!
The two Franks repaired my stem wall. The guys were courteous, friendly and professional. They kept me informed each major step of the way. Took time to explain and show the damage and what steps will be taken to repair. They also made sure I saw the repaired and waterproofed surface before restoring original landscaping. Also they were careful working around main plumbing and irrigation lines.

I had a horizontal crack in a stem wall at the back of my home and some concrete cracking at the base of a garage pillar. After extensive research on various companies I selected Concrete Repairman LLC to do the repair work. Concrete Repairman LLC has excellent reviews and an extremely informative website with videos of the type of work they do.
James, the company's owner, came to my home for a concrete repair-evaluation and estimate. He spent over 90 minutes meticulously examining the outside of my home and thoroughly explained how the foundation, stem wall, and other components were related. James was very patient and gladly answered my many questions. He was very detailed in his explanation of the type of repairs he recommended, what material would be used, and why they should be made. His wealth of knowledge and many years of experience were easily apparent and provided me with the assurance I needed to make a decision regarding the repairs.
On the day of the scheduled repairs (scheduled for two days), Frank and Frank, the highly skilled technicians, arrived on time and began making preparations to begin work. It was immediately obvious that they both were highly experienced and professional in every respect. I asked many questions regarding the repairs and they both were very generous with their time and knowledge and made me extremely confident that the repairs would be made to the highest standards.
When the job was finished both areas were perfectly cleaned and the cracked concrete was repaired and looked absolutely new.
I'm delighted with the quality of the job, the professionalism of the company and the exceptional skill of James, Frank and Frank.
I highly recommend Concrete Repairman LLC!
Concrete Repairman did a fantastic job with our foundation repair. They were fast, friendly, flexible, professional and made the whole process easy. Frank worked on our job and was fantastic, we had a scheduling issue with the repair and our pool excavation which was causing us major stress, Frank offered to come back on Friday to complete the work in order to let the excavation be completed. I highly recommend Concrete Repairman! Both the owner James and Supervisor Frank were exceptional! Excellent service, very reasonably priced.

James came out to my house because of foundation issues I am having. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything I was concerned about. The work I need done is under warranty from another contractor so I won't be using him for this job, however I wouldn't hesitate to use him in the future.
James came out to my house today and inspected my foundation problems. I was so worried and losing sleep thinking that I was going to have to spend a fortune to fix my foundation problems. James put my mind at easy. He has a very calming way about him. He let me know what needs to be done and I’m so happy that he came out and showed me some simple solutions to my foundation problems. I highly recommend James! Thank you James!

James, Frank, Frank, and Bryan did a awesome job of the leveling two rooms in our home. As always they were on time, very careful, respectful and most of all very professional. When they were done, you would never know that they were here, other than a great work they had done.
I can't express how grateful (and relieved) I am for calling Concreter Repairman! I've been worried about cracks in the walls and flooring of my home built in 1950. James came out and took his time examining my home's interior and exterior, explaining and educating me about his findings as he went along. Instead of him giving me an estimate for how much the repair work will cost, he assured me there was nothing seriously wrong. Instead he made recommendations for the type and size of rain gutters I need, as well as, where the dirt needs grading away from my home to keep moisture away when it rains. He assured me, doing that will keep my home stable and help with preventing future cracks. I'll sleep much better tonight knowing there are relatively simple and inexpensive remedies. I'm was amazed by James' knowledge and integrity. Again, I'm super grateful!
James was on time, friendly and so knowledgeable. He saved us thousands of dollars and relieved our stress. He goes above the call of duty and can explain every crack, chip or discoloration’s history. You can tell he loves what he does and has the confidence to accomplish any task. We highly recommend Concrete Repairman LLC.
We are having foundation issues where there are gaps on the floor, we didn’t know what to expect from a foundation expert, we called Concrete Repairman LLC. James came and gave us a complete evaluation and also were surprisingly knowledgeable on where we would have the cracks before he saw it. He was very throughly explaining what we needed. He gave us steps to follow to solve our foundation problems. Specific steps to keep moisture out. My husband and I are very pleased with his recommendation and honesty. We are relieved to have found him, he is a 3rd generation foundation expert. Thank you James!
James came out to give us a quote on fixing our heaved slab and identifying the root cause. What was expected to only take a day and a half to fix ended up taking three days. Frank, Frank and Brian did a fantastic job on grinding and leveling our floor. They were very good at communicating about the issues they found as well as coming up with solutions. The entire project from start to finish was seemless and the staff was courteous, professional and great to work with. Highly recommended.

James called to see if he could come early which helped my schedule. He then did a very thorough inspection of the interior and exterior of the house, carefully explaining how my slab and foundation are constructed and what the cause of the movement is. He did not try to sell me on any unneeded repairs but gave great recommendations for preventative maintenance improvements that could be done to prevent any future deterioration.
James was incredibly nice, knowledgeable and generous with his time. He is clearly an expert in his field and I will be seeking out his expertise for all my concrete related needs moving forward.
I had the pleasure of having James, the owner of the company, come out to my house today to check some cracks that were appearing in my foundation stem walls. James quickly identified why the cracks were occurring and what could be done to repair/prevent those types of crack in the future (gutters/grading). It was a huge relief to hear that was all that needed to be done. Appreciate James for his honesty and the time he spent educating me on why cracks were appearing and what actions to take. Would highly recommend to anyone worried about potential foundation issues with their home!
Simply put, James is a fountain of knowledge. I reached out regarding a crack in my concrete slab foundation. James showed up early and took me on a thorough walkthrough of my property. He gave me great advice regarding how to avoid further issues and put me at ease regarding the state of my foundation. I’m taking his advice regarding keeping moisture away and will be using him and his team to fix the existing crack that I reached out about. I can’t say enough about how great he was. I appreciate the advice given and look forward to working with him and his team.

Top to bottom-- one of the best experiences I've had with a contractor. Scheduling was simple and fast and James was right on time. He was courteous and wore a mask (COVID).
He spend an hour and a half (!) helping me better understand my home and the problems. I had previously watched his videos online and read the information on his website. If you think you may have an issue, I recommend educating yourself online first because the content is great and it will help you follow what James tells you on site.
Long story short: our issue was not as severe as I originally suspected. James recommended water mitigation strategies which his company does not perform-- meaning that he made no money from his visit to our home. We had previously made changes to the grade of the yard which James deemed adequate, although he advocated for us to be vigilant moving forward to ensure that it was performing as intended during rainfall.
Key takeaways from my meeting with James & Concrete Repairman:
1. Professional: On time, respectful of our home (and our family dog).
2. Honest & Trustworthy: Spent 90 minutes at our home, politely refused our offer to pay for his inspection. At his core, you can tell he is a good man.
3. Unmatched Expertise: Watching James diagnose your house is impressive, to say the least. After a few minutes, he's got it figured out. The rest of the time is spent helping you understand.
4. Education: It's one thing to know your stuff-- it's another to be able to clearly articulate it to someone that isn't in your line of work. James did that remarkably well.

I would highly recommend this company. In fact, I'm not sure why you would use anyone else. Other reviews suggest this is their standard operating procedure. Impressive!

This was by far the best repair experience ever! First, James was extremely helpful, providing thorough information on why the stem wall problem had occurred. No other company came close. The crew, Brian and Florentino, were such a delight, taking great care with each step to do it right. They were very knowledgeable, efficient and caring even when presented with repair challenges. They were so personable and always positive and friendly, not minding questions. I enjoyed talking to them and having them work on my house - and would have them out again for repairs anytime! Great company, fabulous crew! My house looks wonderful!
Thank you so much! ?
James came out to look at an issue in our garage, it ultimately was a bigger issue then he could address. He spent over an hour with us explaining what he was seeing and why the subsidence was happening. That’s time out of his business, he could have just walked away, but he helped us out, that was amazing. Thanks again James!
James is extremely knowledgeable, punctual, and thorough. His approach to his craft is a breath of fresh air. I was concerned about cracks all over my house and movement around my door frames. James reassured me that there was no major damage to our foundation. He recommended and explained in full detail a plan going forward to prevent the minor damage from getting worse. He definitely put my mind at ease knowing there was no foundation damage. I would highly recommend James if you have any questions or concerns about your foundation!!
I recently had some foundation repair done at my home. James and his team were great. They were on time, fixed only the issues that needed to be fixed. I had three quotes and James added the most value for his price compared to the others. I would highly recommend James.

We had some major problems with our new vinyl floor buckling and was told by the installer that we had a problem with water seeping in and that we needed to check for pipe and/or foundation leaks. So, I called the Concrete Repairman for an inspection. James came out, took a look inside and outside, was very thorough and explained what he was looking for and what he saw. James determined that it had nothing to do with the foundation/stem wall and made some helpful suggestions to prevent any future problems. His expertise and advice were very much appreciated!

If you are looking for a professional, honest and knowledgeable business to do you foundation repairs look no further. After recently purchasing a custom home in the Arcadia area in which out realtor rushed us through inspection without getting an “expert opinion” on our foundation, we thought we had a total mess on our hands. Nowadays it is rare to run into an honest company that doesn’t have an angle, especially when they see a multi-million dollar home. James was unbelievable, he spent his valuable time assessing the foundation, providing suggestions on how to improve environment and letting me know I didn’t needed repairs. Absolutely blown away by his honesty. He is a rare gem in this world!! I will use him and recommend him to all my friends and associates for foundation repairs!!! Thanks James!!!
James came out to inspect my foundation and he provided insight as to why I have cracks. He offered advice on how to prevent further damage. James has a wealth of knowledge and he didn’t charge me a cent for sharing any of it! Thank you for your professionalism James!
James came to my home for an estimate. He shared a wealth of knowledge realitive to the needs of my property and advised me that I could make the corrections myself. Then he gave me more specific advice about how to do it. Not many business men put the potential client's needs above their own. I would trust him and his business completely.
James came out and did an inspection for me on our foundation since we’ve had some issues. He was super knowledgeable and as honest as they come. Told me what things we could do despite it not being anything they’d be doing or making money on. Super great guy and will definitely send them anyone I can if there’s any foundation or concrete stuff that comes up with clients of mine or in conversation.
I highly recommend this contractor. Several months ago, James was contacted by a bio cleanup company I was working with to assess whether contract repairs were necessary in my relative's machine shop. We tragically lost our family member when he passed away unexpectedly in the shop and the bio company had been assisting us with cleanup of the shop.
James came out to assess the concrete free of charge. He was pleasant to deal with under trying circumstances, and advised me that he was recommending concrete removal and replacement due to the circumstances. He candidly informed me that, although he could do the work, it would be cheaper to go through other contactors and gave me a couple of referrals to perform the work. He explained in detail his recommendations and the rationale for his recommendations, and took at least an hour out of his day to do so, free of charge. A couple of months later, the insurance company requested an estimate for the work and a written statement from James explaining why he recommended additional work. Despite the fact that James was not making any money off of our project, he provided the estimate and statement to the insurance company, and the insurance company accepted his recommendation.
Thereafter, I contacted James to thank him for his help, and asked if I could pay him for visiting the property or for the time he spent preparing the requested documents. However, he refused to accept any payment for his time. I wanted to write this recommendation to advise potential customers of his knowledge and skill about concrete repair, and his kindness and honesty in dealing with our family under very trying circumstances. I would highly recommend this contractor, and will hire him if we need concrete work in the future.
I booked an appointment with James to do a free quote/inspection of my floor cracks. He arrived on time and volunteered to take off his shoes when he entered the house which came as a surprise. Throughout the evaluation he was able to demonstrate his impressive experience and knowledge and gave great recommendations on how to solve the problem. In the end I wanted to have a number from him for the total cost and he said the fixes I need is not something they normally do (rain gutter, soil gradings, etc). He told me to find qualified companies to do it instead and how to select a great company. So I was like at least let me give you some tips for the entire hour you spent here? He refused that also and said he comes out to help people and I can tell he is truly passionate in what he does. I would highly recommend James and his company to anyone who is in need of concrete works in the valley.
This is an honest company. I called for an estimate on foundation concerns/repairs. James spent more than an hour on a plan on how to proceed with gutters, landscaping water away from the concrete, painting and repairs I could do. We tried to pay for a consultation fee but he declined. I really appreciate his kindness and honest business practice. Steve in Gilbert
We used Concrete Repairman LLC to repair a vertical crack in the stem wall of our house foundation, which we had recently discovered. We called Concrete Repairman and spoke to Tiffany, who was Awesome! She scheduled an appointment for James to come out and inspect the crack. James came to our home and explained what caused the crack, which was moisture that was absorbed through the concrete and caused a piece of rebar to rust inside of it. We had no idea this could happen. James even explained what we needed to do after the repair to keep water away from our stem wall. James was Awesome to talk to and visit with when he Inspected our foundation! He treated us like family and gave great customer service! James scheduled the repair in a timely manner and a father and son team arrived to do it. Their names were Frank SR and Frank JR.
The repair was done by removing the rusted rebar and the bad concrete surrounding it. Then, after cleaning the area, a corrosion proof piece of rebar was installed where the rusted piece was removed from. A special concrete that has a very high PSI rating was then applied to rebuild the bad part of the stem wall. After the new concrete was dry, Frank SR and Frank JR even painted it with matching house paint we had! The repair looks better then it did when the house was new! These people did an Awesome Job! They are very Professional and Courteous! We Highly recommend Concrete Repairman LLC and are very pleased that such Quality Customer Service is still around today! Thank You all for A Job Well Done!

James, Concrete Repairman LLC surely saved the day for us and our home. It became aware that a large crack had formed due to gutter rain being misdirected toward the home. James was amazing in his precise knowledge of how to fix the floor that had heaved several inches across the living room. It was a massive undertaking to us and James was very reassuring that with his leveling and stitching the floor would be better than new. Well, he is amazing. We were so impressed. The crew worked hard and diligently, there were No schedule changes, every day they were on time, the job was done with the utmost professionalism. Communication before and during project was beyond our expectations. I've read other reviews and they are so wrong. This is an amazing company with skilled workers who care about the customer.
Outstanding! Never have I experienced such attention to detail and follow through as planned! I was in need of stem wall repair, spalling, horizontal cracking, etc... James came to assess and walked the entire home, explaining in detail what needed to be done and related details. His experience with this work was quite evident. He answered questions and took video of the work needed. Like clock work, Frank and Frank arrived to perform the planned work as planned and on time each day, answered any related questions I may have had. Tiffany provided invoices promptly which was also greatly appreciated. The work itself was professional and thorough. James returns phone calls with any question or concern throughout. I couldn't be more impressed and pleased. Thank you all!
The owner, James did the inspection/estimate himself. He showed up on time, always a plus in my mind. I have an engineering mindset and the details are important to me...so I ask a lot of questions. James patiently and thoroughly answered them all. He pointed out the issues and explained how they would be handled. No hard sell tactics, just info with which to make my decision. The crew that performed the work over 3 days kept the site neat and did a good final cleanup. They seemed like a happy group as I could hear the sounds of joking and laughing while they worked. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for good results and a no nonsense experience.

Excellent company, the owner came out and explained everything in great detail. Easy to understand and very knowledgeable. The crew he sent out -Team Tempe was outstanding!! They were the most orchestrated and coordinated I have seen and importantly - on time! Took their time in doing their job and the pride in it showed. They were very accommodating to every question we asked and showed us what they were replacing and doing. Great Team should be proud they work for you!

My experience with James, the owner of Concrete Repairman and Frank Dimming the supervisor, as well as Frank's Dad, who worked with him was excellent. I could not ask for a more professional group of people. Knowledgeable, honest, friendly, answered all my questions. Worked so hard in 115 degrees of Arizona weather. I would recommend them to anyone.
I had an excellent experience. The owner personally came to my house after I finished removing tile in my new house, because I was curius if there were any foundation issues that should be addressed. The owner spent about 45 minutes to an hour doing a thorough inspection with me, explaining everything he saw in detail. He was very knowledgable and a class act person. I highly recommend!

I usually don't trust easily everyone and I was very insecure hiring a company to do the foundation repairs to our house. It was a very big and expensive project that needed to be done properly. We were asked to pay half of the money upfront a month and a half earlier, so we can be put on the schedule and that give me some extra stress. But I decided to take the risk based on the 5 star rating for this company, the fact that they are licensed and
also that James give as an estimate based on the actual linear feet that needed to be repaired. Pricing was reasonable and warranty was longer than the other companies. So, we hired them and everything was done as promised. They did a great job and I can't be happier for taking the opportunity (I no longer call it risk ?) to give this job to them. Highly recommend that they are the company for your foundation repair.

You will not find a more knowledgable individual about concrete! James is a concrete whisperer. He can see everything that is happening with your sidewalks, driveway, and foundation. We had a tension cable repair and other corrosion repairs on our foundation. He is thorough, professional, timely, and fair. His crews are experts at what they do, work quick, and will work to make it perfect. I give him my highest recommendation for your concrete repair needs. -Chad
Very happy with the job that James, Lawrence and Frank did in stitching the cracks in our floor. We wanted to ensure the new tile going down had the best surface to start on. Learned a lot from James on the importance of having seamless gutters installed as well. I had a great education.

I did a search on foundation issues and found James info and videos. I was concerned about the different cracks that keep showing up in our house. I was able to schedule for him to come out in a few days, but I called back to ask if there was anyway he could make it out today, and he worked me in! I was thankful to get an understanding of what is going on with our house and a plan going forward to fix the issues and stop further damage from happening. Thank you James!
Great company! Had some issues in the house I was concerned about.. James came out and was patient and explained everything in great detail. He put my concerns at ease and didn't try to push anything on me. Also gave me a lot of good preventative measures to take. This company does business exactly how it should be done and I will be using them in the future. Highly recommended!

James did a great job inspecting and the Frank & Frank team did a great job facilitating the repairs. Not too happy that I had to have the work done in the first place, but they made it as painless as possible. The working team was particularly cool and did a great job.
I cannot express enough gratitude to James Belville, owner of Concrete Repairman. There are many companies out there today, who would gladly sell you something that you do not need just to make a buck, but not James, he has too much integrity for that.
We contacted him when we ripped up the carpet and noticed multiple cracks in the concrete slab of our home.To a layperson like me , this seemed like a huge issue that would cost a lot of money to fix. But upon James arrival, he reassured me that this was simply not the case. He took atleast an hour of his time, explaining in detail why the foundation was cracking, walked the perimeter with us pointing out any signs of excess moisture. He then went above and beyond, telling us how to rectify the situation. He not only educated us, he empowered us. Thank you James for your honesty and expertise. You and your company are truly amazing.
Very impressed with James Belleville. Upstanding; honest; just an overall great person! It’s nice to find somebody in todays world who you can trust. His product knowledge is invaluable! It’s refreshing to find someone who has a passion and takes pride in his company! He takes on a job as if he was working on his own home. I can’t say enough good things about James! I would highly recommend his company over and over again!
If you have a foundation issue or concern, James is your man. Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He examined some damage I had noticed around my foundation, told me it was only cosmetic, and detailed how I can fix it myself. I really appreciated his honesty. Not only is the guy a walking encyclopedia of foundation knowledge, it’s evident he loves his job. Definitely give him a call. You won’t be disappointed.

James came out to our house to review a crack in our concrete. He gave us great information and is a wealth of knowledge. He actually came up with suggestions that would not make him any money and I think that is the true mark of an honest contractor!
I highly recommend James and his crew for any concrete job!!! He and his workers are highly skilled, extremely thorough, knowlegeable and polite. I had a stem wall repair job that I’d been putting off for far too long. I sought other bids but James’ was more detailed (by far), priced competitively and provided by James himself—He gave me a complete rundown of the process and the products he would use as well as the timeframe and the warranty he would provide. I accepted his bid on the spot and scheduled the work for the following week. The job was completed in the timeframe discussed and the results were far beyond my expectations. The house, courtyard, landscaping, sidewalk, yard and street were left cleaner than they found it. They even polished my stained concrete courtyard which was in no way a part of the job!!!! They went above and beyond and I am so grateful for that. Call James if you want the best team for your job!!!

Owner is a wonderful individual. I thought I had a post-tension foundation problem and so I asked James come evaluate my home/foundation. Extremely pleasant and knowledgeable individual. He spent over 2hrs inspecting and assessing every structural aspect of my home. In the end, I was told I did not need his services. He then told me very clearly the types of things I needed do going forward, to hopefully avoid needing his services in the future. IMO, it is very rare to find a tradesman that will actually tell you that you don't need to do any work with them. That being said, should the need for foundation work come up in the future, you can bet James will be my first call!!

He is very professional and interested in actually helping his clients. He has videos to support his over 30 years of experience and knows how to do the job right. Thanks for your services!!

He really took the time explain everything to me and answered all my questions. 5 stars is not enough. Thank you!
James is extremely knowledgeable, really knows his stuff! Very nice guy as well. Greatly appreciate his honesty. He won't sell you any repair you don't actually need.

James came out to my home and was able to pretty quickly identify my problem. He did a full inspection, inside and outside. He was able to identify and show me where these area are and explain each of them, why they matter and what else could stem from them. He was able to provide me with a step by step plan of what I need to do as well as giving me a referral. His solution was not to fix what was cosmetically wrong but rather identify the problem and fix the problem. Once that has been completed we can move forward with a much lower cost option (not using piers or pillars) that is just as effective. I feel empowered and very knowledgeable about our foundation problems. He didn't try to sell me anything or offer me a buy now gimmick for a discount (As one well known company in the valley does. You feel so pressured to make a very big decision when this happens) . He let me know at the very end how his services could help and when the time to help would be (after we have identified the problem and fixed it). He was very friendly. Family own and ran company. He's third generation and 35+ years. He not only has expertise in AZ foundation issues but is from Nebraska and has a very well rounded knowledge of Soil and foundation issues. Thank you so much James for getting us started and saving us a ridiculous amount of money!

James and his crew did a great repair job on our home. He worked within the parameters of our HOA, which did take a bit longer than our original time estimate, but that was not a reflection on the company, just a fact of HOA living. He was prompt in responding to our questions or concerns, as well as making changes if requested. I think that you will be please with his work.

James is a pleasure to work with, and very knowledgeable about many aspects of concrete repair. We would refer him to anyone!
I found a small hairline crack in the foundation of my home that was for sale. I called Concrete Repairman for an estimate. They came out the next day. James examined the area fully and assured me that it was not a problem. He is extremely knowledgeable and gave me a thorough explanation as to what was taking place with my home. He recommended rain gutters to make sure the moisture stays away from the foundation of the house. He then proceeded to examine the rest of the house and answered any questions I had in detail. I would certainly recommend this company if have any questions or needs regarding concrete repair at your home.
I can’t say enough about how pleased we were with every step of the process. The questions we had were answered promptly and thoroughly. Frank and his team did a great job on our floor cracks that they filled and sanded. The job was done on-time and it looks great!! Thanks so much!! Recommend highly!!!

I have a new home which was built this year (2019) with a post tensioned slab. The ground under the slab is shrinking, so I called James after reading all the valuable information on his website. He promptly arrived at the appointed time and thoughly inspected, evaluated, and took pictures of the issues with the foundation. He explained all the issues and patiently made sure I understood the issues and thier remedies. He did this knowing that he would not benift financially because the house is under warranty with the builder, and I will not be able to hire who I want to do the work. He is truly a gem in the industry and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

James from Concrete Repairman LLC came to my home to provide a bid. He was condescending and treated me poorly. He went on to ask for the name of my Realtor to call him and help me understand what he was proposing. I told him to leave my property. As a woman, and a potential customer, I refuse to be treated this way.

Had a metal garage project I intended on installing onto a slab foundation that existed on my property before I purchased it, thought I was getting a great deal with the land to get this foundation with it. Glad I called James before I put the order in for the building. He went out, inspected the slab, and in no nonsense, promptly explained why the slab was not worth my time for this building, and explained how important it is to have a good foundation for longevity of a building (common sense in hindsight, but I let the thought of saving money by using what was already there push that out of my mind). James explained, for free, mind you, for almost 45 minutes, what a better solution was, offered alternative design and location options, and although (a bit of a disappointment, I'll admit) I won't end up using that foundation, and it will cost more, I am relieved that I contacted James and got his expert opinion. If he can service your area, I urge you to contact him before starting any major concrete work, as he has a quality that is rare among people nowadays, outright honesty. He will probably not tell you what you want to hear, but he will tell you what you NEED to hear. I'm positive now that I will have a garage that will be around at least as long as I will be, and in the end, that was what I wanted. James, thank you. When I am at the point where I am ready to seal and epoxy that floor in my new garage, you better believe I'll be calling you.
James educated me on what is happening to my foundation and my slab in my home. He explained in detail why certain cracks in the slab or foundation were occuring, pointed out shearing in some corners of rooms and why it was happening. As he was educating me on what was happening by looking at the inside and outside of my house room by room - he explained WHY. The diagnosis was water getting under or around my foundation in various area and the cure is keeping the water away from these area by using gutters, grading the soil away from the foundation and stopping all irrigation near my foundation. He literally educated me and didn't try to sell me anything. Now I have work to do...gutters, landscape changes...ugh. Thanks James for educating me!! I will definitely recommend you for anyone who has issues/concerns w their foundation.
I recently purchase my home and was very concerned about the foundation. James came out within a few days of my call. He is very knowledgeable and honest. He provided me with information so that I could stop the damage to my home.
Selling a home is stressful. James was quick to respond, even though it was during holiday. Job was completed in a timely manner making our sale much easier. Thank you. Highly recommend this company for your foundation/concrete needs.
Simply the best!! James is super knowledgeable and takes the time to fully explain what caused the problem and how they will fix it. Frank and Frank were punctual and performed a very clean repair. I highly recommend this company and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!!
The Concrete Repairman crew came out and did a top rate repair job on the cracking concrete and rusted re-rod in our stemwall foundation. They were punctual and very professional and worked through some of the hottest weather of the summer to complete the job including sealing it with a waterproofing compound and even painted it to match the house with some paint we provided. Throughout the process they were very attentive to maintaining and cleaning up the debris as they went, and when it was over everything was perfect and completely cleaned up and looked like it was when the house was built. Their estimate was accurate and there were no extra charges even though the contract did have a clause saying that once they opened it out if the damage was worse than anticipated that they could charge for extra repair, but they stuck by the estimate. The repair took 2 days just as they said it would. Very pleased with the quality and professionalism of their work and would recommend them to anyone looking to have some foundation repair work.

James is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He took a look at my cracked foundation and gave me the education I needed to fix it myself, free of charge. That kind of integrity is hard to come by. If there’s ever a project too big to do myself, you can bet I’m calling Concrete Repairman.
Great company for foundation repairs, quality work and highly recommended!
I just want to say I'm blown away. I recently purchased a home, and the home inspector said it was problematic that the tie-downs were visible. James came out and - aside from telling me it not an issue, and how to protect the straps to keep it from ever becoming one - spent about half-an-hour giving me an in-depth lesson on foundation structure, health, and sever DIY preventative measures I could take to keep my home in good shape. I would definitely recommend Concrete Repairman LLC, and I'll be giving them a call if I need concrete work in the future.
I really can't say enough good things about Mr. Belville and his company. He is extremely knowledgeable and very professional; and he always takes the time to explain everything. At my house, his company repaired a long-neglected foundation issue when we purchased our house. He took the time to explain everything very carefully, explained what was going wrong, and why, and what needed to be done to correct it and minimize long term negative effects. A year after the job was done, I had some concerns. He came to my house and went over everything again, and explained what was going on, answered all my questions thoroughly, and gave me a plan to move forward. He explained everything well, so I have the knowledge I need. I'm extremely satisfied ... and I'll recommend this company to everyone I know who has concrete and foundation issues.

Frank and Frank repaired the concrete foundation at my new house. I’m so impressed with the finished product I would recommend them to everyone. They are efficient and great to work with. I asked a bunch of questions and they answered everything I needed to know. I can’t thank them enough for their fantastic work!
I live in California and came across CRM’s videos on YouTube as I was researching a fix for my foundation. I was impressed with the fact that CRM’s method of repair involves removing and replacing rusted rebar. Contractors in my area have all recommended only epoxy injections or carbon fiber reinforcement - which is obviously not addressing the root cause (rusted rebar) of the issue.
Although CRM’s content on YouTube is great, I had some questions specific to my house. I called their office hoping to ask a someone a couple questions. James himself called me back and spoke to me for over a half hour. He answered all of my questions, had some great recommendations that I’m going to pursue, and assured me I’m headed in the right direction.
I wish I could hire CRM but unfortunately not an option here in California. Rest assured though, James is an expert and the guy to talk to about your foundation repair.

Excellent workmanship done in a timely efficient manner. Would not hesitate to use them again. They worked with homeowner to make sure we were all on the same page. Frank and Frank are great.
I have keystone cracks in my foundation James came over walked my home room to room including outside perimeter and educated me on the problem as well as the solution and how to prevent further slab movement.
We are very happy with the work done by Concrete Repairman. Over the years water accumulated near our foundation from rain, watering plants, or draining the swamp cooler and A/C discharge. This moisture caused the rebar within our stem wall to rust and expand resulting in long horizontal cracks and the stem wall disintegrating at two corners. To repair this requires more than a cosmetic patch job. James and his crew did a beautiful job identifying and replacing the damaged rebar, repairing the vertical concrete and insuring the structural integrity of the stem wall. The crew was punctual and informative. We were pleased with the quality of work and the guys did a great job cleaning up afterwards.
WOW! I feel like i was just on an episode of The Lone Ranger as my wife and I watched Jim and Bryan drive away into the sunset! We are renters and stood in for the landlord who is selling the home we rent(that has cracks in the foundation). Jim is incredibly knowledgeable man!! First and foremost he has PASSION. Broken down it spells PASS I ON! Jim shares his knowledge and then some; A walking encyclopedia if you will. He is into fixing the problem and not putting a band aid on it. He was incredibly thorough and knows his stuff. He was upfront about the issues, was not overbearing, and if I ever needed a concrete dude, Jim would be the person I'd call!! 6 out of 5 stars.! Thank you Jim and Bryan!
Had the foundation repair completed in March. Later, I noticed a small low line (depression) close to the foundation. Once I notified the company of this, they quickly responded, not only fixing the problem to perfection, but also did a little grading repair to an area that was outside their responsibility. Later it was brought to my attention that the grading problem may have existed before the foundation work was done. Their workmanship is far beyond expectation. I appreciate their quick response and willingness to do more than was asked.

Good to work with. Frank and his coworker, Frank, were professional and courteous. They answered questions and took time to explain some details of interest about the job at hand.
Had some major foundation issues. They came in and repaired the damage on schedule. The finished product looks fantastic. I would recommend this company to anyone.
Great company! We were worried we had a foundation problem so we called for an evaluation. They couldn’t find anything wrong but taught us a ton about signs to watch for and didn’t charge us a dime. If I ever DO have a foundation problem I know exactly who to call. Awesome!
