It goes a long way when the owner of the company, Christian, is there every single day of the job supervising and working alongside his crew to ensure the job gets done well (and we're very happy with the results)!
Christian and his crew are happy and polite, and get to work done quickly and efficiently. Another great thing about Christian is that he's honest and transparent about the work they are doing.
We received quotes from three different well reviewed companies, and Garcia's Concrete was by far the most competitive in pricing. However we'd like to note that for the other two companies, they likely pay sales guys and contract out to other companies and crew -- Christian is the one who personally does the project analysis and pricing, and it's his crew.
Our project was scheduled in December, and we had heavy rains in the area during our scheduled week that caused some delays, but Christian and the crew handled the scheduling delays well and timed their work accordingly. He even came on his own one of the days to get some of the prep work done before more rains came.
Amazing work ethic from everyone - our concrete looks great. Another thing that we valued was that Christian explained what was happening to us every step of the way (or whenever we had questions).
They even made accommodations for our drainage needs, and took care not to hurt our tree, whose roots were somewhat in the way. Christian has a great eye for design also. We were a bit flexible in the design and he had suggestions for us - we just sent him pictures of general designs we liked, and told him where we wanted the concrete to be laid, and he did the rest. We love the final outcome, and our yard is finally functional.
We've had several projects on our home for different things, and even though the other companies were also rated well, Christian and the entire Garcia's Concrete crew rose above all of them in their attention to detail, communication (through Christian) and end to end excellence.
Btw - they were so booked up when we contacted them that our appointment was about 3 months after we agreed to work with them. This may still be the case for you, but for us the wait was fine. read more
