Elias left waste material on my property. Would hardly show up and took more than a week to remove the formers to pour concrete. Happy to have found another concrete contractor to do our backyard. Small jobs are important too Elias. They show your attention to detail and your customers how important their work is to them as well. Do yourself a favor. Skip, avoid and don't do business with Building Hard Concrete, he will be a pain in your rear end as other reviewed have stated. My response to the owner: If didn't do poor quality work and have terrible customer service. Wouldn't my review be positive? You didn't clean up everything. I had to continually ask you to come clean up and remove the formers. What you should do as a business owner is take the criticism and grow from it. Finding a dependable and reliable contractor is tough to come by, if you can grow from this experience. It would make you a better owner and business. You would stand out in a positive way as opposed to a negative light. read more

I recently called Building Hard Concrete to build me a 96 foot Tan split-face concrete block fence. Elias came by and looked at the old fence and we agreed on price. It turned out fantastic, please check out pictures. Elias brought several teams and master stone mason, Francisco to do the work. Don "Pancho" used Clovis rebar/fence code and did amazing work. I also needed to move some sprinkler valves about two feet and he brought in Don Martin to do this job. I had an original home builder wood fence, it was falling apart. My new fence does not even compare to previous fence. I incentivised Elias for a fast build and he did a great job in 4 days! Next, I really appreciated that his crew came the day after they were done with the fence and cleaned up the mess. I highly recommend Building Hard Concrete for any needed concrete work. read more

Second time I chose Elias and his crew for some walkway steps in my front yard. Again, very pleased with the outcome of my project. The color we chose was a little off from what we both anticipated, however, he was gracious enough to offer to change the color in the future if we choose to. Still one of the most reasonably priced contractors out there, good communication and easy to talk to. He even leveled out some dirt for me in my backyard. Good cleanup also. Highly recommend, I already got another project for him read more

Phase 2 on my drainage problem: Elias gave me a good quote for this huge job He was patient while I secured finances and finished the job in a timely manner despite several rain delays and 2 weeks of having to jack hammer the rocky hillside away from the house I am so incredibly pleased Elias is a good person with integrity read more

After a few kinks in our schedules we finally got the ball rolling and the final project was a success. When shopping around for price quotes, Elias actually came to my house on the same day and gave me the quote on the spot. One of the things I was concerned with was the slope. I didn't want water running into my house -- Elias and his help did great, I could see the slope. So yes I am happy with the work. ... Pics below. read more

Elias isn't dependable and doesn't keep his promises. Hope you have unlimited vacation days to take off of work for all the times he doesn't show up to your house. He flakes every time with different excuses. He even promises the night before to show up and still doesn't. If your job isn't big enough to fill his wallet then good luck getting him to come to your house. The professional and descent thing to do would be to tell the customer that the concrete job is too small for him and he doesn't want to do it. Instead of blowing people off and promising to show to get the work done when you know you have no intention of showing. Be a man and tell us you don't want to take on the job. This guy is a joke. Don't waste your time. read more

Elias is FAR from being a man of his word or contract! He Miscalculated my contracted job & charged me for it (costing me an extra $4,000)! Elias, just now, got in his truck & abandoned my job that he rescheduled/flaked on me 4 times! Elias plays childish nickel & dime games when trying to do business. Despite his shenanigans, I still tried to work with him, but he got up & burned me for the 5th & last time just now! Response to Elias: Please! You don't even believe that noise your are trying to weasel in. Everything I stated are facts! Mijo, no te emociones. Mario (who is not part of your company) I highly praised his work - you did not lift a finger on my project, but poorly managed it, I had to manage it. But you are right, I don't deserve a contractor like you, no one does - a contractor that will cowardly abandon a job after burning you 4 times! read more

Elias is very unprofessional. He's nice on the initial call for quote. He came to my house and gave me a quote I was good with. But when it came time to start the work, him and his crew never show up. He is not reliable and doesn't show up when promised. I made the mistake of not once, not twice, but three times allowed him to "make it right" and he still wasted my time and did no-shows to my house every single time. I have no idea why. I don't know if he is double booking appointments or what's going on. But it's completely unprofessional and bad business to do that. I would not recommend him. I went with another contractor who was responsive and showed up and did a beautiful job. read more

Elias did such a great job on my retaining wall, I hired him to put in cement steps and a handrail. Would definitely hire him again.

Another amazing job for Mr Elias and his crew. very courteous and professional. definitely recomended for your future projects. read more

I had Elias with Building Hard Concrete create an extension of our concrete patio and build a retaining wall for our back yard. He did such an excellent good job that I also had him replace drainage pipes in our side yard and install a French drain in a garden bed. His team worked hard and worked quickly and I am delighted with the way everything looks! I would certainly hire him again! read more

Elias responded quickly after I contacted him. They came to do concrete for part of our backyard, and was able to match the stamping and color or our existing concrete (as much as possible). They were also able to help us replace a few fence posts that were rotting. His team was quick and efficient. Our job went from Friday through Tuesday. One day for prep, one day for cleanup, and curing over the weekend. Pricing was better than most contractors that we contacted, and he was great in communicating if he would be delayed or if something did not go as planned. I had some specific instructions about how large I wanted our concrete pavers done and spacing for them, and they did a great job following those instructions. A few of our sprinkler pipes got damaged in the process of digging through the hard dirt (we expected that since we've run into that problem ourselves), but they were upfront and fixed it right away. He even texted after to make sure there were no leaks. I have already recommended him to some friends, and would call them again to do more work for us in the future if we need concrete done. read more

Elias and his team did an amazing job! We were in constant contact as the project was going and concrete was poured on the date he stated it would be!! Thank you!! He poured three walkways and a curbing to boarder my grass!! read more

If you are considering hiring Elias and his team, feel free to reach out to me for an honest review.

Great job on older large trees. I would highly recommend They did a good job cleaning up the property. This job had large trees in a small confined condo back yard. read more

They showed up on time and ready to work! They jumped right in and got my backyard finished up in a couple days (drying time) and that was it! Great job! read more

Elias and his team were great. Knowledgeable and went the extra mile. Always informed me during the whole process. Willing to work with my budget. Would use again in the future for any concrete projects. read more

The concrete work is pretty good, although it was not actually Elias that did it, but rather some other guy who stayed all day to finish after the pour. My issue is that Elias's favorite word is "tomorrow", as in "I'll be there tomorrow", but not show up or text or call to say he's not showing up. So, a job that should have been done within a week stretches out to 2-3 weeks to finish everything up (I also paid for a new gate section which was a big mistake because these guys really aren't fencers). These guys need to be watched closely because they will do whatever they feel like without consulting the homeowner. I did not hover over them because I figured they knew what they were doing, and I regret it. They cut the wires to my sprinkler valves to keep water off of the pour area. Had they asked, I would have assured them that the sprinklers were already shut off, but they don't ask, they just do. They also tore out some of my brick veneer without asking and I don't even know why. They kept saying they would fix these things, but all I heard was tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. We were still waiting for the gate to be installed a week after the pour, and I really don't think they were ever going to come back if my wife hadn't called and complained to him. Even then, it was still a tooth-pulling endeavor to get Elias back out to finish the fence, so I held back some of the money I owed him (not enough, really) and told him to not bother coming back, which is pretty ironic as he would barely show up anyway. I ended up building and installing my gate and I fixed the sprinkler wires easy enough, but the brick veneer is looking to be unfixable. Elias needs to learn what communication, commitment, and good customer service is. At no time did I feel like I was a priority or that this job was important to them. I was just something being squeezed in between more lucrative jobs, I suppose. Thanks for tearing up my house Elias. read more

Elias and his crew do amazing work. He's very flexible and easy to work with. I realized I wanted a slight adjustment to a form on the morning the cement was being poured and he adjusted it with no issues. He also negotiated his price to be competitive with the other quotes that I received. He communicates in a prompt manner. I highly recommended him if you need cement work. read more

I called and spoke with Elias who agreed to come out and give me a quote for concrete work and retaining wall to be put in. He quoted me one price and kept changing it over the course of the next couple wks while I was waiting for the work to be done. It went from $3600 to $3800 to you need to add an additional $1200 on top of that. All the while he kept giving me dates on when he would show up to do the work and it would never happen. First time he rescheduled the day before he was supposed to come do the work stating he had other project delays? Okay thats understandable although you would know that information I would think way before the night before you start another project but I say okay. The second time he txts me on the day he is supposed to come to do the work he will show up at 1pm to do my project. 1:30 rolls around I look in my backyard and see some tools but no ppl??? I txt him at 6pm cause I thought they went to get more supplies or forgot something. He texts back saying he cant start the project today because of delays????? Wouldn't you know this way before you show up to do the work or texted you will be there to start the work? Just doesn't add up. He offered to reschedule the 3rd time with the increased fee. I'm not gonna hold my breath. read more

Good job by Elias and his crew. Great work and listener, will definitely take care of you and your project. I would recommend him for any concrete work. read more

Update. Elias came through with repair if cracks and sealing. The concrete looks great

Set an appointment and never showed up. They do not live in Fresno. They are out of Los Angeles and took up my time on the phone and made an appointment and did not show up and did not bother to call to tell me that they were going to be late...nothing. Buyer beware. Do not trust this company. Zero stars. read more

Elias did a great job with my backyard. He was very professional and easy to work with. We will continue to use his services in the future and will highly recommend him to our friends and families. You did not disappoint us brother, thank you and best of luck with your business. Will talk to you real soon.. read more

I called this company for a bid. They came out right away, very professional and courteous. Had a bid done right away. Once i approved the bid they had me scheduled. They came out and did the work and clean up as they said they would. Once it was completed I looked over the job. It was a beautiful job. They matched what I had already. It was beyond what I expected! I will recommend them to all my family and friends! Awesome work! And just for the record I never do yelp reviews! But I was so impressed, I felt I need to! read more

Excellent service, great value, and they did an incredible job on my concrete. I called and they were ready to work immediately. Provided a very reasonable quote and promptly started and completed my project. read more

Elias was incredibly friendly and came out to quote the following day after I reached out to him. Would recommend 10/10

Mr Trejo is a true professional and absolutely the best concrete contractor . He did my patio deck and side unit with stamped brown concrete which turned out outstanding. I am 150% recommending Building Hard Concrete and Mr Trejo. I am so impressed with his knowledge and high ethical standards that I am having him return to wet seal my concrete in 30 days. read more

I found Elias and his company through Yelp and after talking with him I decided to give him a chance to give me a bid. He came out and talked with me about what I wanted and had some great ideas on how we could make the project better. Elias e-mailed me the bid the next morning and after talking with a couple more contractors I decided to have him do my driveway extension and a pad for the RV trailer. The drainage of the RV pad was going to be tricky, but they did a great job in getting the grades correct and now all water drains into the drains and into the street as I requested. Elias and his whole crew were very knowable and polite. Any questions that I had were answered and at no time did I feel like they had a problem with this. The whole crew from start to finish showed that they have been doing this type of work for a long time and the job was a complete success and I am very happy with this company. Elias is trying to start up a new company but everyone that worked on my project was very knowledgeable and showed the upmost respect to me and the surrounding people and property. I will be using them again when I get ready for another project. read more
