A very well organized company. Their focus is quality and attention to detail. Vito keeps a team that works together with efficiency. If I could give 10 stars I would. I highly recommend this company.

We have used G-Cat company for our concrete driveway and for installing concrete overlay on our front steps. We've been enjoying our new driveway for a year now and are pleased with the quality and appearance. This year, they resealed our driveway as well. In addition to providing high quality work, they also have excellent business ethics. Definitely recommend them.

Great experience with G-cat and their whole team. Had stamped concrete patio done in the backyard around 17x32 sqft. Style and selection options were almost overwhelming there were so many - they can do anything. Flexible and timely between communication w/ management and front office. The team showed up early each day and were efficient and respectful of the space. True Pros, honest expertise from project managers, highly recommend

In the spring of 2021, we had G-Cat come out to give us some ideas and suggestions on a new patio to replace the paver bricks we had. The bricks separated, sunk, became infested with ants, weeds growing between the bricks and such and it just became a headache and extra yearly expense we did not need. I laid out the plans for how large we wanted it to be and their suggestions were used. The toughest part for us was determining the stamped brick pattern to choose from (so many were available). They came out on the scheduled date and within a week we had a new patio. See the pictures attached. We highly recommend them. They watched the details, kept the area clean and kept the noise to a minimum. They did such a good job, we had them back in spring of 2022 to give us a new 3-car garage driveway. (see pictures) At the same time, we also had them install a new walkway from the driveway to the front door stoop. I’m very impressed with their work.

We have used G-CAT for our stamped concrete patio as well as a concrete driveway with stamped walkway. Plus sealing maintenance. They are EXCELLENT in every way - the quality of the work is fantastic. We always trust things are being done correctly and to the highest standard. In addition to that, they are so clean and respectful of your home while working. The team took care not to ruin our grass and landscaping during construction, especially when needing to go back and forth to/from the backyard. This is so much appreciated. Lastly and importantly, the communication is fantastic. Vito has been out project manager for these projects and he is incredibly responsive and hands-on from beginning to end. Cost-wise, they are on the high end in comparison to other companies but we find it’s well worth the investment based on all the above-noted factors. We would HIGHLY recommend G-CAT to anyone looking for great concrete work!

G-Cat Construction Co. was recommended to me by a friend. I got 5 quotes for the construction of a new concrete driveway, front porch, and 2 sidewalks. G-Cat was the only company whose estimate itemized each part of the job, with pricing and detailed specifications. Although G-Cat was not the lowest bidder (neither was it the highest), I’m glad I contracted with them. The owner, Vito, applied for the village permit as required and completed the work according to Village codes. It took 5 days to complete the job because of rainy weather, but Vito assured me that it would be done before I went on vacation. I was amazed at how hard the initial crew of 8 men, including Vito, worked to remove all the existing concrete and landscaping in front of my house in just one day. They had all the equipment needed to do the job, including a Bobcat with multiple attachments for drilling and excavating, a Kato Imer mini excavator, trucks for concrete and yard waste removal, an air compressor jackhammer, and an old-fashioned sledgehammer. Ozinga provided a high-quality concrete mixture that contained fiber mesh. The crew worked together well and always cleaned up after each phase of the project. I can finally drive my car into the garage without a jolt now that the driveway pitch meets the level of the garage floor. I am getting compliments from friends and neighbors on how beautiful the driveway looks. People are hesitant to park on it because they want to keep it in its pristine condition! The porch is well-constructed with minimal damage to the house brick to which it is attached. The crew used concrete blocks to support the porch and inserted cardboard concrete forms (Sonotubes) to make the concrete footings. They put a waterproof barrier on the porch wall before pouring the concrete. No cracking has occurred on the new porch and steps. The sidewalk approaching the porch is wider and more impressive now. Both new sidewalks are crack-free and level so that no rainwater drains toward the house. I am very pleased with the work done by G-Cat Construction and highly recommend this company. Services: Demolition and removal of existing concrete, removal of landscaping, construction of concrete driveway, porch/stairs, and 2 sidewalks

Vito was very professional, detail oriented and one of the only companies that broke down the estimate by line item including pricing and detail specification of every step. Communication was perfect from start to finish of the project. The crew really paid specific attention to the smallest details that make a difference in the long run of concrete. The owner personally operated machinery, worked with his crew, and made sure everything was perfect down to the last detail. Highly recommended!

Vito and his team were/are incredible. Very professional, polite, detail oriented. Brought my wife’s vision to reality. You may pay a few bucks more but you will not find better service and team anywhere. I interviewed many before Vito and once we reviewed our project, I absolutely had to choose G Cat. The absolute best outfit around. Can’t thank them enough.
