They are hard-working and reliable, and they clearly know their stuff. However, the estimate and…read morebilling process needs improvement. They repeatedly avoided providing a written estimate until the job was finished, along with the final invoice. By the time all the work was completed, the final cost exceeded my budget, which could have been avoided if they had kept me informed throughout the process. Additionally, they damaged my front steps with a bobcat, but only mentioned it after I pointed it out. They never offered to cover the damage or even a portion of it; instead, they provided me with an estimate to replace the entire staircase.

We've used Concrete Specialists twice now, once for a sidewalk from the driveway to the porch…read moreincluding the porch stairs in 2013. And they are still in great shape. We called them in June of 2022 to have them replace our patio and sidewalk from the patio to the front driveway. In both instances, they were very professional and courteous. We were home while they were doing the work and they cleaned up our yard. Yes, our lawn was trampled on due to the machinery, but that's to be expected. It'll come back. We were very impressed with them and would highly recommend them. We are located in West Seneca, NY, not San Francisco, CA.

We had our driveway expanded by Concrete Specialists at our residence. The service delivered was…read morenot professional in that the yard was left a mess along with the street in front of our house, and they splattered (and left) concrete on the existing driveway. Also, we purchased the crew pizza for lunch as a kind gesture, which they ended up sitting on their coolers and eating while drinking on the job. We did not drive on the new driveway until after 2 weeks, as directed. After approximately a month of having the new section of the driveway completed by Concrete Specialists, it cracked. It was obvious that not enough stone was put down prior to pouring the concrete because when you stepped on the section after it cracked it would lift. We contacted the company, and the owner, Randy Schmidt, said that they would correct the issue. Concrete Specialists came out to address the issue when we were not home and without our authorization, and what they did to take care of the crack left the driveway looking worse than it did with the crack. Instead of removing the section of the driveway expansion that cracked and re-pouring, they attempted to fill the crack after cutting in to the concrete to create dust to patch it with. When contacting the owner for information on what they did to address the crack in our new driveway, he was extremely rude, unprofessional and dismissive of our concerns. Not only does it now look worse than before it cracked, the section of the driveway has re-cracked after the concrete caulk was applied and Concrete Specialists has made no attempts to properly resolve, and have said that this is all "standard". The only solution that we would be satisfied with is if the section of the driveway is removed and re-poured. I do not recommend this company as a result of their extreme lack of professionalism and unwillingness to stand behind their work.

I had the unfortunate experience of hiring this company for lawn mowing, snowplowing and fixing up…read moremy landscaping beds. I was very disappointed in their quality of work and professionalism. In my opinion it was a very bad experience. They were supposed to trim all my bushes and trees. They forgot to trim several of them and the others were done haphazardly. They ripped out flowers that were perennials because they thought they were weeds. Many areas were missing weed barrier, even though it was in the contract. The company admitted that the job needed more mulch, but because they underbid the job and was losing money, they would not provide any more mulch. They also admitted that their workers were new and not properly trained. In my opinion they harassed us for more money because they could not estimate the job properly. The owner continously told us of a toll bill for $1800 he owed to gain our sympathy. The owner assured us that he had arborists working for him but this statement appears to be false looking at the completed project. For snowplowing, they had to be constantly called and asked when they were coming out. The company provided an expired certificate of insurance to trick me into signing a contract. They tried to tell me that a car insurance certificate would be just as good. I have a copy of the car insurance certificate the company gave me. This company has had numerous people complain about their snowplowing service, but they delete all of their negative comments and 1 star reviews off of their social media pages. This company was hired by my elderly neighbor to cut her grass. She is 90 years old and has a hard time seeing and hearing. She paid them a lot of money. They rarely show up to cut her grass. They never even provided her with a receipt for her money or a contract. Her family had to get involved to help her. They refused to bag the grass clippings after they cut my lawn even though the contract stated they would. The grass looked atrocious with all the loose grass on it. The company canceled my contract and wanted to give it to his friend. He was going to pay him a fraction of what I paid him and keep the rest for himself. The pictures submitted with this review is how this company actually left my lawn. When I explained to them that is was unacceptable they proceeded to cancel my grasscutting contract. Most businesses when they get negative reviews they get upset and do everything in their power to have the reviews removed. Instead businesses should look at the negative reviews as a learning tool to improve their business and their employees. People really do not want to put down local businesses but they most certainly do not want to be taken advantage of. In response to the owner's comments: The fictitious accusations that this company has made instead of responding to the actual problems with his company should tell you everything you need to know about who you would be hiring
