RJF Is the best small business I've ever worked with, hands down. I recently hired them to do some…read moreconcrete work in my yard. It was a little challenging for them because a third party that involves 2 people (2 more sets of opinions and questions) was dealing with the financial aspect of the job. It made it more work for RJF, but they took it in stride and were very helpful in meeting the requirements (such as having to reword the contract multiple times the day before the job was scheduled to start), and answering the endless list of questions for the third party. Highly professional even when it was, I'm sure, challenging. The third party actually called me after the job wrapped up to tell me how impressed they were with the company. High praise! What I appreciated from the owner was his excellent communication with me, the third party, his crew and his office. The left hand always knew what the right hand was doing. I'd never had concrete work done, and he did a great job of letting me know what to expect for the duration of the job and after. They are extremely punctual, which I appreciate because nobody likes to sit around waiting. His crew works hard whether he's there or not. They were clean, picked up after themselves, polite, & accommodating. I've had contractors not come to the job site once, but he always had his eye on what was going on whether he was there or not, and he'd pick up a shovel and get busy if needed. It was very hot, and he had an ice chest of water for the crew. Those are the little details that signify to me a person is running things well & cares. Robert was really helpful in helping me select what would function best for my situation, which is appreciated because there's a lot to consider. And I had no idea. It was a relief to have a contractor that's trustworthy and didn't take advantage of my lack of knowledge. And also what is the most pleasing from an aesthetic point, because it's important that it drains correctly but I want it to be pretty, too! They went above and beyond, letting me know when they came across some work that wasn't done correctly from prior owners. It wasn't their problem, and they could have easily not brought it to my attention and I would have not known until it became a big expensive problem. They got the job done very efficiently, which was great because we didn't have to live in a construction zone for any longer than was necessary. It was such a smooth experience, from the bid to the final touches. I can't tell you how grateful I am for Robert and his entire crew for making what could potentially be a high stress endeavor a pleasant and smooth one. The finished product totally transformed my back yard and it was money well spent.

I highly recommend RJF Concrete Construction and owner Robert J. Fiscalini Jr. (408-710-530)…read more Robert is an excellent listener and provided thoughtful recommendations and modifications that were cohesive, well-integrated, and fully aligned with my architectural vision. He is very cost-effective and conscientious about keeping costs under control without ever compromising quality or integrity. RJF brings an old-school mentality in the best sense--smart, hardworking, and detail-oriented, making sure every "T" is crossed and every "I" is dotted. The crew was well managed, professional, and demonstrated strong work ethics with consistent attention to quality. Robert has deep knowledge of all facets of concrete finishes and applications, passed down through this second-generation family business. Trust, ethics, and standards are extremely high, and he made sure the finished product was nothing short of perfect. The job was well planned and executed, even under difficult weather conditions. In summary, I would confidently recommend RJF Concrete Construction for all concrete, masonry, and architectural finish work--both new pours and remodels. This is a contractor you can fully trust from start to finish. Thank you, Robert, and thank you to your entire crew.

We were getting concerned that our current contractor was not giving us the best advice. We called Dwaine in to consult half way through a job that was turning out to be twice as much as I had originally agreed. Dwaine pointed out where we were set wrong by our current contractor, which enabled us to get the scope and price to something within reason. Dwaine also gave us a very competitive price, but it ultimately turned out to be too expensive to break our original contract. I wish we had found Dwaine in the first, as it would have saved me a lot of money and time. We will certainly be using Dwaine on any future concrete work we get done.

I needed a hardscaper for a new driveway, sidewalk and back patio steps. When I met Paul from…read moreAlexander & Sons, I knew intuitively without question he is the kind of high quality vendor that I seek out. He was thorough, detailed, creative, conscientious and he truly listened - to my goals, likes/dislikes, and concerns. He provided me with recommendations across all 3 work areas that took into account the needs and special considerations for each location. He worked to ensure that we had a good strategy for redirecting water from the downspout to the patio and for redirecting water via a small 'channel' parallel to the driveway to allow for better water management. Being a highly visual person, I also found their showroom very helpful in choosing colors and patterns for the stamped concrete finish. In preparation and execution, Paul and the team took great care planning out each phase, protecting my new glass garage door and fixing a small nick on the house during the cement pour. He also personally adjusted the patio downspout, intentionally going out of his way with a plan to avoid creating unnecessary holes in the new siding. He also helped me anticipate and plan for mail and other deliveries during the time the walkway would be off-limits. He also worked well with my neighbor to plan for and to gain access to the garage each day in my absence. He regularly sent pictures and text updates. All of this because he is thorough, creative, conscientious, detailed and seems to sincerely care about his clients. The result: Exactly what I had hoped, delivered on time, with quality, care and with consideration for my schedule and the well-being of my home. Paul delivered to his word. I would hire Paul and the Alexander & Sons team again for any hardscaping in the future.

We ran into a few unexpected issues during the project, but Young was always upfront about what was happening and communicated his solutions clearly. His recommendations were thoughtful and turned out great. I would definitely use Kay Green again for any future landscaping projects and will happily recommend them to family and friends!

They ruined and broke numerous branches while admitting that these plants are very delicate. They rushed the job that should have been at least two hours and finished in one hour. I should have stopped them after the owner told me to go inside and they will let me know when they were done. You never tell someone that's paying you $500 dollars to take your time and do a professional job to go inside. I should have told him to get the F off of my property and hired someone else. I would have been better off hiring men from Home Depot. Totally unprofessional, rushed the job, ruined a couple of plants and didn't give a shit how it looked, even after I showed the owner the damaged plants and all the broken branches only to find more as the branches dried out in the weeks to come. He tells me the plants are delicate, but yet they didn't treat them that way. I will never hire this unprofessional company again and recommend that you don't hire them either. They have plenty of help to do a good job, but refuse to do so. This was a total rip off job to the tune of $500. I'm so sorry I hired this clown to do this job, every time I look at what they did it makes me sick and pissed that I didn't throw them off my property and paid them nothing. I've waited weeks to write this review, in hopes that the job would look better, but it doesn't. Thanks a lot, KAY GREEN LANDSCAPING FOR DOING A SHITTY JOB AND TELLING ME TO GO INSIDE.

When it comes to "Outstanding" I'd like to take it a step up to "A Company of Excellence! "... I'm forever grateful for the referral to use EF & S. My Driveway & my entry way to the backyard turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Since I recently had pavers installed for my walkway, I didn't go with stamped concrete as I thought it would be too busy & wanted my new pavers to stand-out. Simplicity can still work out to be really pretty so I had 2-tone very-light "brushed-broom", with smooth border designs - The design & color choices bring out my new pavers perfectly! I had no doubt it would turn out really nice but never imagined a simple design would look so stunning! AND, the quality of work is far above what I expected! Joe (the owner), is a real perfectionist in his profession, and takes a lot of pride in his work. Really knows his stuff, and he came every day to make sure the job was going well. Before starting he met with me to discuss the process, and throughout the install he made sure I understood what they were doing, and made sure he had my approval before he finalized the border design. Any concerns or questions he never failed to respond - could not have asked for a nicer person to work with. His working crew is another story! They were Amazing! Not only hard workers, but meticulous in all aspects of their work. Before pouring the concrete they covered the garage door & other doors - the cleanup at the end of the day was impeccable! Just finished my job today & he starts another neighbors this week - we both are so lucky to have found him ... When it comes to quality plus & customer service, EFS has it all! (Very reasonable in his price, and your also getting A+++ quality & service - can't beat that!) Wow! I didn't think I could get so excited over a driveway (lol!!!) ... but I'm so happy with the results :-) PS: I'll post photos in a few days - there's still cones surrounding my driveway until it's completely dry ...

I waited a few days, and sent him a text saying I never received it. I figured maybe he had my wrong email? I never heard back. So a few days later, I called him, and he again said he was sorry, that he was really busy and he'd send it that night. Again, no estimate. Finally, a few days ago, I called him again. I said hey I'd really like to work with you, but I still don't have an estimate and I'm going to have to go with someone else if I don't hear from you. He again, assured me I'd have it THAT night. Shocker- no estimate. I checked my spam email also. So, sorry Joe, you lost my business, and future business, as I had some larger jobs I was considering at a later date.
