    Finished stamped concrete

    Gabino was professional, prompt and overall excellent! I would recommend him. His workers were on time, cleaned up after themselves and did beautiful work!

    Finished product
    Jr M.

    Gabino and his team did the concreat in the upper teir of my back yard , these men carried hundreds of bags up my steep steps to the highest part of my yard. It was a very difficult part of the yard to reach,but they made it happen. The final result was amazing! Exactly what we wanted, I would use these guys again for sure! Highly recommend!

    Conduit installed too close to the edge of slab, already starting to crack within a few weeks of install

    We hired Gabino's concrete to put an exterior patio slab next to the side of the house. We also asked him to fill-in an existing planter area and add-in matching patio tiles to match the existing patio tiles. Overall, we were very happy with his and his teams services, however, there were a few areas where we'd like to see improvement: Some areas where they exceeded expectations: - Gabino was responsive and very friendly. I was very happy with his customer service and general demeanor. - Team was professional, timely, and efficient - Work was done on-time and for the agreed-upon amount(s) - Concrete work was very clean and professional. Looks GREAT. - His team was overall, very clean and efficient (very little mess, see below): - The patio tile work was FANTASTIC. You can't even tell that the new area was added... looks like it has always been that way Some areas of improvement I would like them to address: - The carpenters that unscrewed the formwork left screws EVERYWHERE in the yard. I wish I would have caught that prior to issuing final payment to ensure the area was clean. - Some sections of the slab were overpoured slightly past the footprint of the slab and I will need to chip these areas out prior to laying out the turf that will eventually butt up to the new slab. In hindsight, I would have asked for this to be cleaned up - Lots of scrap rock and brick were used as scrap in-fill for a large section of the built-up slab (~10" above nearby grade). This shouldn't have any structural implications, but I wish they would have communicated this so I was aware of this - I had an electrical conduit located in the corner of the slab for future, but in the course of construction, we agreed to change the dimensions of the slab and the formwork team left the conduit dangerously close to the edge of the slab. It has only been a few weeks and the concrete is already starting to crack near the edge where this conduit is. I wish they had brought this up as a concern so I could have had the conduit moved prior to concrete being poured - We are replacing the yard with turf in the future, but there were tire marks left in the yard from the work (the work occurred right after a large rain). I wish the team had asked for permission prior to driving all over the grass and tearing it up (I am sure this was not their intention) All in all, I liked Gabino and his team's work (we are very happy about the overall end product), and I would consider using them again, but I would like them to work on the items above before I would consider hiring them for my next project.

    I went looking for a concrete contractor on Yelp, and Yelp did not disappoint! Gabino and his crew did such a great job on our backyard project. I can tell he takes pride in the work his team does. Because we had such a good experience the first time, we have since had him back for two more projects: a wall and sidewalk in our front yard. He is responsive and quick to respond. His team was able to schedule a time to come out quickly.

    Modifying the drainage!

    Highly recommended! If you have a big or small project contact gabino. Really easy to work with and very professional! They will take your ideas seriously and will suggest based on their experience to make it look a lot better. They work fast and very reasonable price! The crew are very professional and they even clean the site before they left. I will definitely hire them again to do the rest of my yard!

    Added small succulents right side.

    I found Gabino's Concrete on Yelp with great reviews. He was reasonably priced, and a pleasure to talk with. We started with a small project (7' x 30' patio slab) in our back yard. His team did a great job, and had the work done in a day. Watching his finisher's meticulous attention to detail to make sure it was perfect was like watching an artist. About 2 months later we decided to have them do a stamped concrete retaining wall and sidewalk in our front yard. The wall and sidewalk turned out really well. Gabino and his team really take pride in their work, and I would highly recommend them for any concrete work.

    Exactly what we planned.

    Gabino's Concrete did a good job. We used him for a large stamp concrete patio area. Nice guy and competitive pricing.

There were two spots where he said his crew could do the work, but said it would be really easy for me to do in a couple hours to save some money. Which I really appreciated him not up selling me. Then I received the bid the next day. After we went into contract his team showed up and started the work. It was started on Monday and pouring concrete on Saturday. They were great to work with and respected our house. What I especially appreciated was the care they took to ensure nothing around the house was damaged. This was a pleasant experience and I would recommend SK Concrete to anyone for their big or small project.

They also installed footing drain (French drain) on the back retaining wall, backfilled with the usual gravel, crushed stone and covered the outside of the walls with installed paneled stone veneer. They also did the initial former structure demolition, debris hauling and the requested earth moving and other necessary small retaining walls reassembly. It sounds like an easy simple job but, believe me, it got complicated quite soon. Along the construction way, I was able to interact with the crew and bounce ideas and corrections which were followed to my customer satisfaction, resulting in more than a very acceptable final product. When the inevitable, beyond his control, the one odd crew helper misbehavior occurred on the job, this contractor immediately corrected it, got on top of the problem and smoothly and quickly we had no more of an issue here. He also facilitated for me the customer to bring my own tile / stone wall-caps products and installer guys, which ended doing a beautiful job we're very proud of. Pricing fair, not inexpensive. Job done acceptable, with your own (the customer) continuous supervision and being able to stop working crew's irreparable mistakes before they happened, however, the final product came out well built and functional as we imagined and expected, we are grateful for that. Thanks again to Shafiaq and SK Concrete for accepting working on our small home project and for including us in their busy commercial and industrial schedule.

We liked the ideas the architect offered but not the cost as quoted by the contractor the architect referred us to. So we decided to contract our own specialists - act as our own general contractor. SD Paverscapes was one of three paver contractors we contacted. Luis was quick to respond and listened to our ideas. He provided us with a plan we loved and a price we could handle. The installation crew was absolutely first rate. It was a pleasure to watch craftsmen apply their skills! The result is fabulous! Honestly, it turned out better than we had imagined! As with ALL contractors, you - as the client - need to always be communicating with Luis. We made slight modifications to our original plan as the work progressed, but they all were fine because we were in constant dialog with Luis.

He was extremely responsive during the entire process, great about adding his input and suggestions as needed, and very patient with us as we went back and forth on all the details.

No regrets going with Luis and will not hesitate to reach out to him when we want to start our next big landscaping project. Also a bonus that his estimate was much more reasonable than other companies we contacted.

    A JOB WELL DONE We…read morehave a long concrete driveway that curves up a hill to our home. The driveway is 47 years old and was in need of repairs to the driveway and to replace a low curved concrete wall on one side of the driveway, which was badly damaged by time and a large truck. From the Yelp website, I selected 3 five-star contractors for bids to repair the driveway. I'm in my late eighties and handicapped, but in my younger days I worked in construction starting back in 1952 as an apprentice carpenter. I have worked on many projects where I built forms to pour concrete for homes, high rise buildings, and underground tunnels. I have also worked on cementing casing in oil wells as deep as two miles and I have personally poured and finished concrete at my own home. So needless to say, I know a lot about concrete and construction in general. Now that I'm too old and crippled up to work, I'm always apprehensive when I have to hire men to work for me. All too often you get people who lack the skill and experience to do a proper job and often, they don't care how the job turns out. Then they leave behind a mess for the homeowner to clean up. When Oswaldo Minez came to look the job over prior to submitting a bid, I was very impressed with his knowledge and attitude. He told me he was the son of a father and son business and that was my background as well until my father's early death at a young age. The bid from Minez Concrete was the lowest bid and I gave them the contract. A few days later they called to say they had an unscheduled delay in their next job and they could begin work at our home. Oswaldo said they would show up at 7 AM and to my surprise the crew arrived right on time and every day thereafter. Oswaldo's father, Ramon is in charge of the actual work and I could tell right from the start that Ramon is an old school craftsman. He has trained his crew to be competent workers. Too often companies in southern California show up with a boss, who doesn't know what he is doing, and untrained men hired to work by the day. Not the Minez Company, their men are professional workers, who know their craft. On several occasions I have hired people and had to stand there all day making sure the job was done right and sometimes pitching in myself to do the job. After watching the Minez crew for a short time, I knew we were in good hands and I went back into the house. Every time I came out to observe progress there was Ramon supervising his men while working beside them to give us a first-rate job. The repairs all turned out beautifully and several people have commented upon how nice the driveway looks. To be honest, I wasn't expecting the work to go so smoothly and quickly. It was such a surprise and relief to be treated so well with a beautiful result. Oswaldo kept us informed regarding progress and his suggestions and those of Ramon contributed greatly to the final outcome. If you want a first-class experience at a fair price then hire Minez Concrete. They know what they are doing and they do the job right for a fair price. In today's world, that is rare.
