On the advice of several friends that had used Big Dog in Manassas VA. for concrete work in there…read moreyards, I asked for and received a very fair quote to repave a concrete deck in my back yard. My expectations were surpassed by the quality of workmanship and dedication each member of there crew's performance. The attention to detail was amazing. From covering my inground pool with plastic sheet to prevent possible cement falling to the bottom, covering the house with plastic sheet to prevent cement splash from hitting my siding to covering the base of my 6 x6 upper deck support beams with tar based post sleeves. Most importantly, I took down two sections of fence so equipment would be able to access my back yard. I went outside to dig a hole for a new fence post that needed replacing. As I began to dig, one of the workers, on his lunch break, came to me and volunteered to dig the hole for me. These are workers that take pride in there job and are happy to be working for this company. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and his wife and completely understand why this is such a successful company. Please give them a try on your next project.

Pat is a very knowledgeable and experienced professional, and he obviously trains and employs only the best crew.

The result was a beautiful transformation of both the front and back yards of my townhouse. After our consultation, Bryan provided beautiful renderings showing the vision for the finished project.

Bryan and his crew were professional, knowledgeable, and took pride in their work. I'm extremely happy with the finished project and would highly recommend California Concrete.

When I called them they moved me up to an emergency appointment to fix my issue. They came on a Sunday when it was raining and dug up and installed water pipes to drain rainwater away from my basement. It was a massive undertaking and I'm glad that I got a quote from Virginia Drainage and Erosion. I would definitely recommend them to at least come and give you a quote. The pricing is reasonable for my project.

My experience with JES Repair was frustrating and ultimately disappointing…read more The project itself was completed on schedule, but the quality and planning of the work left a lot to be desired. The beam repairs appear to have been completed in the easiest way possible, with little consideration for the work that would need to happen afterward. The crew cut the subfloor approximately three inches away from the walls and left it unsupported. As a result, my flooring contractor had to tear out two sections of flooring and replace the entire subfloor in those areas because the necessary repairs were never addressed during the original project. Even more frustrating, JES only opened a limited section of the floor instead of exposing the entire affected area. Once the flooring contractor had everything opened up, additional damaged wood was discovered that now requires even more repairs. Since JES was already working in that area, it is difficult to understand how these issues weren't identified or why the floor wasn't opened far enough to properly inspect the entire section. Addressing everything while the area was already exposed would have saved significant time, cost, and disruption. The inspection process was another major disappointment. The county inspection failed and was rescheduled without anyone from JES informing me ahead of time. I was then told that no one from JES would attend the reinspection and that it was between me and the county. As a homeowner, I'm not a contractor and shouldn't be expected to answer technical questions or represent the company's work to the building inspector. I hired JES expecting professional workmanship, thorough planning, and support through the entire process. Instead, I've been left coordinating additional repairs, paying for work that could have been avoided, and handling inspection issues that should have been managed by the contractor. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend JES Repair. UPDATE (07/08/2026): I connected with the resolution team and are working through the issues in a positive and constructive manner.

I found them here on Yelp and was *really* worried that I was going to get hosed because I hadn't sought local recommendations from friends. I called and asked the receptionist to ask the plumbers not to ring the doorbell because I had two napping babies. They came easily within an hour on a Friday afternoon and knocked super lightly, and one of them told me he had two twin daughters and completely understood my sensitivity. They got to work quickly, telling me my water pressure had corroded the inside of my faucet and that it'd need to be replaced. They didn't have a replacement handy that'd have fit my sink setup but if I could get one they'd install it. (Using terms I could understand!) They even helped me look on Home Depot's website to make sure that the one I'd order would work. I had no way of getting to Home Depot with two babies napping so soundly -- priorities! -- and so they spoke with their manager who said they'd not bill me for the service charge if I have them come back and be the ones to install the new fixture. They'd only charge me for labor / parts for installing it. Problem solved, husband will be pleased with the $ situation, and babies still napping. ONE HAPPY MOM HERE, PEOPLE!
