STATES Contracting and Construction LLC

STATES Contracting and Construction LLC handles retaining walls, structural engineering plans, concrete work, dirt work, and stone supply out of Allen, Texas. They also cover projects in Tulsa and Chicago. The outfit keeps drafting and design work in house so clients get drawings that meet codes before any ground gets broken. Services cover residential, commercial, and municipal jobs with materials like stone and steel supplied direct.

Customers describe jobs that center on building retaining walls and concrete walls, often with engineering plans pulled together first. Several mention full projects that include outdoor kitchens and masonry details. Carter handled an HOA wall plus a limestone one on separate sites, while Qaader kept updates flowing on another backyard job. Reviews note walls that came out solid with proper drainage and clean finishes, plus cases where ideas got turned into finished structures without extra headaches.

The crew stays in touch through the whole process, shows up on the days they say, and keeps areas tidy while work moves along. They work across the listed cities and take on custom builds that need extra steps to satisfy local rules. Reviewers point to fair dealings on timelines and budgets, with the same names coming up for answering questions and suggesting better ways to meet code on steel and masonry parts.

“Update: His response to this review fails to mention the structural inspections he failed multiple times. It is mentioned that the job was 90% complete however the city asked me to tear down the roof as it was not structurally sound and I had to pay a new contractor to redo the entire structure. The project, initially estimated to take three weeks, was delayed despite all payments being made ahead of schedule. He failed approximately eight city inspections along the way.  He used subpar materials and lied about the timelines. He didn’t supervise his subcontractors properly and completely botched the entire job. His subcontractors complained to me that he was not paying them and there was a lack of communication and direction among the team.  When I filed credit disputes, he lied to them as well. The way he worded his contract relieves him of all responsibility and allowed him to get away with delays, turning a 3-week project into almost 8 months of incompletion. Please read his contract carefully and omit items that do not hold him responsible for poor workmanship and timelines. His contracts are basically “sorry no refunds, if not as promised”. Check the quality of products used”
