We had Javier and his crew demo our old patio. They poured a new concrete deck, a pad for a swim spa and a bbq island. We had very poor drainage before and they took that seriously and did a super job correcting the problem. They were professional and extremely detailed oriented. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Javier and Black Lion Concrete. read more

We had Black Lion do two jobs for us - the first was a new driveway a few years which is beautiful, and more recently had them replace a pool deck. The pool deck was especially challenging because the original contractor failed to install proper drainage. The Black Lion team worked diligently to figure out what had been done, what went wrong the first time, and how to make it right. And they did - they installed new trenching, ensured that the drains were properly sloped and glued each joint to ensure no roots would not enter the pipe in the future. Recent heavy rains from tropical storm Hillary proved the success of their work. The finishing is spectacular - the surface is an even sand-exposed texture, and the stone accents are a work of art! Lastly and most importantly, Javier and all of his team were honest, pleasant and hard working. I would trust them with any future work, and highly recommend them to anyone. read more

A question was ask by Yelp. "Would I recommend this company to anyone?" Well the answer is a big No. Javier never gave me a quote and never returned my text or phone calls. I ended up hiring a different company to perform the work at my house and I'm extremely glad I did. I would like to mention that this review is not based on this company's workmanship since I never heard back from the owner. read more

Can't say enough about these guys. Javier and his crew are knowledgeable, detailed-oriented and go above and beyond for their customers. We have now used them at our new home for a large home addition and grading services. They absolutely crushed it, even coming on a Saturday to help get our yard ready to deal with a big rain storm. The kind of team you trust with any type of project. Will use repeatedly. Couldn't recommend them enough. read more

Javier and his crew fixed several small sized but serious and tricky concrete problems and were able to do it within our tight budget. We had heaving and settlement of concrete walks, which were allowing water drainage into a storage area and a garage, and trippers from tree roots on a walkway. Javier and his crew removed just the concrete areas necessary to correct the drainage and replaced with new concrete at the right levels to drain properly. They added root barriers along the concrete they replaced due to root heaving so, we shouldn't have any more root trouble there in the future. His crew was on time, on schedule and did excellent finishing work. The work was done a year ago and we've had no cracking. Great job! read more

Javier does amazing work and takes pride on his work. He was referral, gave him a call and gave a rough qoute for a project needed at my aunts house. The price sounded fair and set up an appointment for him to come check out the job. Met up with him the following week and he was a nice and professional guy that took the time to go over the job and price was fair. Set up the job to be done the following week and the job was done perfect, his crew was polite and nice as well. Highly recommend him. read more

Javier is the best contractor I have every used. I spent ~ $70,000 with him over the past year and I could not be happier. He demoed and re-did my driveway, designed an awesome outdoor fireplace and built a 60+' block wall between my neighbor and I. I recommend him without reservation. He is the best. read more

Black Lion is my no hesitation go-to for all things concrete. Thanks Javier! read more

Removing one star, as less than 6 months later, we have experienced a crack running across two entire sections of our concrete slab.

Excellent work! Black Lion did a 10 x 15 foot pad that will be used for a small shed and dog run. The job was started and completed within the same day and looks wonderful! I will recommend them to anyone who is need of concrete work. Thank you read more

Javier and the Black Lion crew did an outstanding job on replacing my collapsed 90 ft x 4 ft high block retaining wall. He is a true professional, and addressed every obstacle they faced as they demolished the collapsed retaining wall, and erected the replacement! I had to provide two estimates to my insurance company, and he saved me thousands of dollars in competing the job! I recommend him without reservation for any kind of concrete work, no matter how big or small the job is! Roberto Negrete:-) read more

We have used Black Lion Concrete for two very large projects. We had them remove our large driveway, and re-pour it with an even larger driveway. They did an amazing job from beginning to end. We then had them remove our 20 + old pool deck, and finally fix all the drainage that was done wrong 23 years ago when the pool was built. We have lived with a yard that floods, and a pool that floods with every rain. Black Lion came in and removed all the concrete, saved our stone work, and spent days figuring out what was wrong, and how to fix it without breaking the bank. They poured a beautiful new deck that they expanded for us, and put in stone work that matched our existing stone work. On both projects we have a beautiful new texture, and love both of them. Javier is great to work with. He communicates so well, sticks to the budget and delivers beautiful work. All his employees are great, amazingly hard workers, and produce beautiful work. We just had a big rain, and the yard drained perfectly. Highly recommend Black Lion Concrete for any concrete work. read more

Black Lion did a killer job and was right on budget. Javi and his crew poured my back patio area and I couldn't be happier with the finished product.

Thank you Black Lion Concrete (Javier) for the awesome job that you did on our job. It is so refreshing to deal with a contractor who gives the same respect to a small job as they would with a larger one. You have an awesome team. You/they were always on time in the am (or earlier quietly prepping. ) I have never seen such a genuinely positive crew before. Thank you for your detailed prepping and protected the work area and it's surrounding plants, succulents etc....so well! Your work ethics do your union proud. --------------------------------------------- FYI Fellow Yelpers; Black Lion Concrete is a CA Licensed and Bonded Contractor.. It's best to hire licensed and bonded contractors for any type of work your doing around your home (just like a licensed mechanic.) This is the interesting thing... its not necessarily more expensive for using a licensed contractor I have had higher bids from unlicensed handyman than a licensed handymen (yes there are CA licensed handymen.) If you ever want to research a contractor etc...and don't know how here is the CA.GOV link for Department Of Consumer Affairs Contractors State License Board https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/onlineservices/CheckLicenseII/checklicense.aspx Back to Black Lion Concrete....Thank you again Javier! We really appreciate how you were able to make everything happen on such notice. read more

They did the work for a fair price (beat all other quotes we got) Went above and beyond what I expected and was extremely helpful and patient while I did some prep work myself. The end product looks great! We have already referred Black Lion to our friends and plan on using them again in the nera future. Will post pics soon! read more

Black Lion Concrete did an awesome job tearing out very old asphalt and putting in beautiful colored concrete for my very long driveway. They are now in the process of installing a block wall along the driveway perimeter and I know it will turn out exceptional. Javier was personable, conscientious, and reasonably priced. I compared him with several other concrete contractors and couldn't be more pleased with choosing him for the project. I highly recommend Black Lion Concrete! read more

Although I did not have the opportunity to use Javier for a concrete job, I wanted to write a review for his good character. My daughter hit a curb and blew out her tire on a busy road in Encinitas and before I or AAA could arrive Javier pulled over in his truck and changed her tire for her and put on the spare. Just wanted to attest that this is a kind, generous person and I'm sure that comes through in his work. read more

Javi (owner) is very easy-going and easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable and you can trust him to give excellent advice! He encountered a couple of issues regarding our yard and communicated constantly during the pour (I was at work). Came home to some beautiful and clean decorative concrete! I will post a picture when the landscape is finished. He schedules and oversees the whole process. Don't hesitate to give Black Lion Concrete a call. read more

A section of my driveway was in need of repair due to some tree roots growing under it. I called Black Lion Concrete and they gave me a quote to demo the existing slab, remove the tree roots and lay fresh concrete that was 1/3 of the first quote I received. The work was completed in one day and it turned out perfectly. I couldn't be happier. If I ever need more work done I won't hesitate to call them again. read more

Javier did a nice job on our basketball court in our backyard. He had good communication and worked hard to make us happy.

Javier and his crew did a great job with my driveway addition. The weather unfortunately played a part in delay of start date, but once they were onsite early AM, they knocked everything out in one day. The finished driveway looked great, with them paying close attention to the final smoothing finish. I would definitely use Black Lion again for my concrete needs in the future. read more

I had my walkway and sidewalk replaced by Javier. I am happy and satisfied with the quality of the job done.

He put the curve in the way I wanted. read more

We were in need to have a section of our driveway concrete replaced and is when I called Black Lion Concrete. Owner Javier responded the same day, stopped by and provided a quote. Javier let us know our concrete wouldn't be an exact match because we were only replacing a section of our driveway. After the job was complete and dry our concrete looks amazing and blends really well with our entire driveway. I like supporting Small Businesses, especially when treated with exceptional service. Black Lion Concrete went above and beyond my expectations. Javier appreciates and welcomes business. I will refer Black Lion Concrete to everyone and anyone who's reading my review. read more

Recently the Black Lion team transformed my parents' driveway. They did an exceptional job, I highly recommend them.
