Dave and his crew were friendly, professional, efficient, and effective at getting the project done in a timely manner. We wanted to concrete in the front entry way, add a California room patio, widen the single-car garage driveway space, add a walkway and landing for trash cans in the side yard behind our gate. Project started Friday, weekend off, and was finished by the following Thursday. I'd highly recommend Parker Concrete for anybody's project! read more

Dave came recommended to me from the landscape designer for my small townhouse backyard redo. Him and his team were great! Dave walked me through the process, answered all of my questions, and gave me some ideas that I hadn't thought of. He provided a timeline that fit into my schedule and finished the job earlier. I couldn't be happier with the way the job was done and how it turned out! I highly recommend Parker Concrete and would use them again. read more

Short Review: Dave Parker is great! He was the only concrete contractor I could find in San Diego who actually returned my calls and didn't say "no" to widening my driveway and pouring a new curb-cut. He did it well, did it right, and I absolutely recommend him! Here is a timelapse video of the work Dave and his crew did: https://youtu.be/rR2jvPgfeVY Longer Review: We hired Dave to widen our driveway and curb cut. He helped connect us with a person to help get the necessary permits and was very patient and understanding while we spent months collecting everything we needed. What did we need? A Right of Way permit, permission to relocate city planted street trees, a monument preservation certificate from a surveyor, and a traffic control permit! Just like he said, Parker concrete did the work over 3 days and coordinated with the city inspector to get everything signed off. The soil compaction tests required that they add a lot more road base. They did the pour & finishing and then had a separate asphalt company come patch the street. I was sort of sad when it was all over because I was really enjoying my regular check-ins with Dave! read more

This is the fourth time we have used Parker Concrete. You can see for yourself, the results are AMAZING! Dave's crew is always prompt, professional, and detailed oriented. We had been planning a retaining wall for years down the road, but the rains this year upped the timeline to this year. Dave went above and beyond and built a wall that looks like it will withstand anything. Thank you Dave and your awesome crew! You guys knocked it out of the ballpark again. read more

Dave Parker and his crew did an OUTSTANDING job! We could not have asked for a smoother process getting out backyard demolished and rebuilt. Dave was great with communication from start to finish. He and his crew were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. Even when we gave them last minute changes, they adapted and made things flow smoothly. I do not have a single complaint about Parker Concrete. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company and will definitely use them again if I need more concrete......and, can't forget, his prices were incredibly fair! (Photos coming soon once we finish the landscaping around the concrete) read more

Parker Concrete completely cleaned, re-sanded and sealed my pavers. After 5+ years they were in need of a tune-up and Parker Concrete got the job done! All work was completed quickly and to my liking in about half a day. (Roughly 800sqft). Thank You! read more

We did not chose to move forward with Dave, but he was definitely a skilled and knowledgeable man of his craft. Extremely professional and very polite. We found him through yelp, called and left a message, and received a same day call back. He accommodated an appointment to come out to our house within a few days and was on time. He expressed that he is better reviewed on Angie's List if you are on that platform. He did provide a line item quote with high detail and various options that we could add on. His price was competitive. Definitely do recommend giving him a call for your backyard and concrete needs. read more

I hired Dave and his team to replace a large section of concrete on our main entryway, which had been damaged by palm tree roots over the years and as a result was in dire need of replacement. Dave was very straightforward with his repair recommendations and having read his Yelp reviews, I quickly felt confident that his team would be able to complete the work to match the existing stamped pattern and design. Through the various interactions with Dave and his team I always experienced a high level of professionalism and top notch service and I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to others! I also appreciated Dave's flexibility to take on small jobs such as mine as other contractors I contacted were not interested in bidding my job. read more

Dave was great- we were complicated clients because we had all our own plans and dreams, and he executed them flawlessly. We could not be happier with our concrete. read more

We needed to have a new concrete pad poured after we had our old spa hauled away. I needed to create a safe play area for our little grands. It wasn't a huge project, so other contractors said no or didn't call back. Dave Parker and his crew were very professional from my initial phone conversation with Dave until our final inspection. Dave was prompt, efficient, and very easy to work with. He gave me different scenarios to consider for the job, and I appreciated his insight and experience. The project was finished quickly, but also with great care - the crew was wonderful. I will recommend him to all of my friends and neighbors needing cement work. read more

I had contacted Dave Parker to get an estimate to replace my driveway. Dave was knowledgeable and took time to provide a detailed estimate for the project. After getting a few estimates, Dave was competitively priced for the job. Dave's team did a great job with the driveway replacement, Carlos and team did the demo, framing and pour in just over a week, and it looks great! read more

Great experience! Dave came in with a competitive bid. He was always available for questions and his crew was kind and clean. They pulled up about 400 feet of old concrete and pumped in new concrete to prepare for a tile overlay. I highly recommend this company . They came back today to power wash and make sure everything was super clean before they left. Thank you Dave and read more

Dave and his team removed the existing concrete in the corner of our backyard and installed new concrete in a larger area (15x15) for a shade structure we are planning to install. Even though the job wasn't that big, Dave came out and gave a competitive bid. His team showed up on time, and worked continuously on our job until it was done. They did a great job matching the existing design and color, so the end result is coherent. We are very happy with the overall experience. read more

My Wife and I decided to cement a small area on the side of our property. We contacted Dave and he responded fairly quickly. Just speaking with Dave and absorbing his knowledge, and noting his professionalism, I knew I was going with him. Since we were happy with him immediately, we decided to get a bid for the driveway too. The bid came in lower than I expected, so it was a no-brainer to move ahead with the project. His men, especially his Forman, were great. In and out in 2 days. It came out beautifully! I highly recommend Dave and his crew. read more

Parker concrete was an excellent choice for our job. I'm sure anyone can do a great work on a flat square pad but we needed to find someone who could do great work replacing our sloped, curved driveway on a canyonside. Parker's photos here on Yelp had our confidence he was the right one. We got a few other bids but no one else took as much time on site to discuss the job, accurately measure, and review design elements that surely impact price (color, finish, add-ons etc). As a result, Parker's bid was well written and detailed, and there were no surprise change orders to drive up the price (except for a few small things we added on along the way). The finished design was thoughtful, incorporated proper drainage and maintained the historic aesthetic of the house. I never thought of how many details could impact pouring a driveway, but we discussed them all - slope, drainage, curb size, finish etc. Parker's team was professional, knowledgeable and polite. The job was scheduled and started on time and finished ahead of schedule - all despite many weeks of rain before and during. It's been a few months now, landscape is in and everything is coming together. The new driveway is a huge improvement on what was there before. I never expected anyone to call a driveway "fabulous" but that's what all the neighbors have told us. Hands down The credit all goes to Dave Parker and his team. I highly recommend them for any concrete job you have and especially for the most discerning clients. Thanks guys! read more

We had Parker Concrete pour a concrete shed pad and lay three paver patios connected with concrete stepping stones. Dave Parker and his crew are wonderful, they produce quality work, are prompt, work the job continuously from start to finish and leave the site in good order each day. The crew is respectful and conduct themselves in a professional manner. My impression of Dave was good from the start. During the estimate process he had many good suggestions while at the same time listening to our concerns and respecting our decisions. I had four estimates and firmly believe Dave Parker Concrete provided the best value for our particular job. read more

Dave Parker of Parker Concrete is AMAZING. I have hired lots of professionals in the past for various projects so I know Dave is top notch. Very honest and responsive person who came over and gave me a fair and detailed estimate on my project. I was doing a large backyard remodel that included a lot of demo, following my not-to-scale drawings and creating custom pieces like an eight foot fire pit. Dave and his crew were so professional! They arrived on time, even worked some weekends and holidays to get the job done without me asking them to do that. Their standards are very high - a lot of contractors just do the minimum but Dave and his crew act like they are working on their own house and make everything perfect. Dave was very good about offering ideas and giving me options for how we could do things. He was respectful of my budget and didn't add on lots of fees for things he should have been able to include in the bid (I've had this happen a lot). Also, I changed my plan after Dave gave me his quote, so he gave me a credit! I would 100% use Parker Concrete again and plan to do just that when I do the concrete at the front of my house. read more

Dave and his team excavated existing yard to have proper slope, put in new drainage to the whole yard and poured about 1100 Sq Ft of concrete. Dave and his crew are very professional. His prices were competitive with others and the quality of work is outstanding. He has great recommendations for first time home owners like us who needed some guidance. He wasn't just trying to make the most amount of money, he gave recommendations based on what we needed and what should wait until later if we decide to keep the house longer. The colors he picked, the design and layout was great. Very satisfied with the job. Great communication as well, text, email and phone. Always reachable and let me know as soon as he knew of a change or delay that would affect the job. read more

We moved into a home that had a seriously cracked driveway and Ficus roots lifting the concrete to the point where rain could flow into our garage. Fixing that became our first item of business. We called a few concrete companies but Parker Concrete was the first to give us a detailed bid and helpful ideas about rerouting drainage away from the garage. We also wanted a more aesthetically pleasing driveway with concrete outlined by aged brick. Every step of the way, the team was meticulous in their work, clear about solutions to any surprises along the way (there are always surprises in home repairs!). Our neighbors are also delighted by how beautiful the new driveway looks. It improves the neighborhood as well as rescues our garage from any future rainy winter :) read more

Dave Parker and his crew did an excellent job. He replaced a driveway and did some other smaller projects for us. He also provided excellent advice on the design. What I most appreciated was that Dave was upfront about scheduling. When we found a mutually good date his crew got to work on time - and finished on time. None of the all-too-frequent issue with contractors where they start a job, and then another, and maybe another - and manage to offend all three clients by dragging a job out way beyond expectation. Dave has renewed my faith in contractors. read more

Dave and his crew just completed a curb cut (AKA new driveway) at our house. Our house is on a busy street, so the permitting process was a total nightmare. Dave was super patient and worked with me to get everything in place before the work began. Once the crew started though, they were lightening fast. The work looks phenomenal and I've already gotten complements (which is funny to receive on a driveway!). The "historic" concrete sidewalks they had to pour look really awesome too. I can't recommend them enough, Dave and his crew are really top notch! read more

We needed Retaining walls on a steep incline in the back yard; French drains and drainage; tree and shrub and old concrete removal, old driveway removed and replaced; walkways, hardscaping and new (extended) front porch. Dave had to estimate and adjust on the fly as we did not have a plot plan-nonetheless, he deciphered our questions and musings and made suggestions that improved the site considerably. He spoke to all of the neighbors as the work was extensive and contracted for services with true professionals. He also visited the site every day to check on progress and kept in touch daily. You couldn't ask for better communication from a contractor, and he did an excellent job. read more

Dave Parker did an excellent job and worked with me to handle everything. . He removed the old driveway and put in the new driveway, which was huge and included a hill. Of course I cannot tell you how long it will last because it is too soon to tell and I am not an expert, but it sure looks great and he added a curb which is a huge improvement. His price was competitive and he got it done when I needed it done. I was able to reach him when I had to, which was important to me. He kept me posted on weather concerns, etc. Several people have seen my driveway and asked for his name so they can hire him. I would hire him again and probably will-- for another project. read more

Excellent team! It was a pleasure to do business with them. Dave and his team did a fabulous job installing a retaining wall and replacing another wall that was collapsing. They matched the color with the existing wall, and it looks beautiful. They were finished ahead of time and the cleanup was exceptional. I highly recommend Parker Concrete and would use them again. read more

I needed a driveway, walkway, and entryway redone in cement. I called four cement companies and discovered Parker Concrete. After talking to Dave it became apparent how knowledgeable he is about concrete, while being faire and honest about his bid. He may not be the cheapest nor the most expensive, but you get what you pay for. The communication about when and what to expect was spot on. His crew was on time, exceptionally clean, and any delay was communicated prior to it occurring. The finished job was beyond expectations. I could not be more pleased in my decision for hiring Parker Cement. When you need cement work done, look no further. read more

I hired Parker Concrete to establish a concrete area on the side of my house. It was a smaller area so I was incredibly happy Dave and his team were able to do it. I had several estimates and although Dave's was slightly above another estimate, I felt very comfortable selecting Parker Concrete after meeting with Dave and talking about the project. Dave gave me great advice as to what needed to get done and I truly believe I probably saved money by using Parker. Dave's team was incredibly professional and Dave was on the job site every day to ensure things were running smooth. Even the sub-contractors (concrete and concrete piping) were great. I highly recommend Dave and Parker Concrete for any concrete needs. read more

Dave Parker and his team were wonderful. My association demanded that I replace our patio slab. The prior owner had added red bricks on top of the patio cement slab. The work had been done without an architectural approval from the association. The cement slab was only 12 X 10. Every Contractor I called did not want to do the work. The work was to small of a job for them to do the work. Mr. Parker came right out and gave me an estimate. He let me know that he would work it in his schedule to get the work done for me. He was wonderful. If I ever have work to be done again I would call him and recommend his company. The work was excellent as well. read more

Well, I cannt say enough about my experience with Dave Parker's concrete. And,its all good. We live in the Bay Area but our house is in San Diego, the house was built in the late 70's and the drive way had become severely cracked and buckled due to a large pine that has grown up over the past 30 or so years. Not only was it unsightly, the concrete had raised up so high that the garage door did not close and we started to get rodents and other critters in the house Not having any contacts in the area, we resorted to reading Yelp reviews on San Diego Contractors. I called a number including Dave Parkers. One review struck a cord with me. This was the one below , a story about how Dave discovered gold on some ones property in SanDiego. Now, that's just weird. Since the rest of his 20 or so reviews were pretty good I just had to talk with Dave and get this story first hand. Since we live in the Bay Area, we had to communicate with Dave by email and phone. We wanted to schedule the work for a time when we were visiting San Diego. Our next visit was in May, it was now February, of 2018, so our appointment was pretty far in advance. Im sure Dave had his doubts about us, with such a long advance in time but he stuck with us and over the next few months he would occasionally email and call to verify we were still on track for our trip in May. Well, it is now May, Dave came and took out the old drive way, and just finished pouring our new one. Not only did he remove the old concrete, he also took out a large number of tree roots from the driveway and he also installed an underground pipe to allow me to install a sprinkler line to the other side of the driveway . I am no concrete person, so I cannt make comment about the engineering of the work, but it looks very nice and solid at this point, actually very beautiful. If it lasts another 30 years, I will be happy, from Heaven. Well, we paid Dave, for his work and as we were sitting ending our interaction, I asked Dave about the Gold story. Wow!. What an interesting story, I told Dave he had to have someone put it into a book or article some where, it would make a most interesting story, and one with a bit of a historical significance about the Vietnam war and those horrible times of the late 70'S. Dave's work seems to be first rate, and he is a really nice person to work with and, to say the least, a most interesting personality. His pricing was good , being fairly close with other bids that I have gotten. But the time we spent with him was most entertaining and assuring. I would recommend Dave and his crew. My garage door closes better, but still not perfect, but its not Dave's fault, it's the floor of the Garage is not level with big roots under the foundation for 20+ years. read more

I wanted to replace our flagstone walkway with a concrete sidewalk. The project involved removing the flagstone and creating the foundation before the concrete could be put down. I also wanted to improve the appearance of the concrete slab that serves as the front porch. Parker Concrete has great reviews and they were the first contractor we contacted. They provided the middle bid and the work they proposed was the best fit for our immediate needs. The project went better than I could have imagined. There was some back-and-forth discussion about the final scope of the project, mostly due to my ignorance, and Dave Parker was very responsive and patient in leading me through that. Once the start date was set, Dave and the team arrived on schedule and completed everything within the time estimated. The finished project really adds to the appearance of the outside of the house and the new sidewalk is much safer. read more

After years of driving over a driveway that looked like it took some direct hits from 500 lb bombs we decided to replace it. As my brother-in-law in a concrete contractor in the San Francisco Bay Area, I turned to him for advice. We called 4 contractors and 3 showed up to bid. By far Dave Parker was the most attentive to the issues our driveway replacement presented. Dave was the only one who recommended that we consult an arborist concerning the tree adjacent to the driveway which was the cause of most of the damage; we removed the tree. He was the only one to comment on an area adjacent to the driveway that he would also need to address and how the curb cuts and gutter should be dealt with. When rain delayed the start of the job Dave kept us informed. When demolition of the existing driveway revealed a problem, a wall of a lower bedroom was right below a portion of the driveway and part of the waterproof material protecting the bedroom had rotted, Dave proposed and executed a solution which will keep the room dry in future rains. Just as important for our wallet, he did so at what we considered a fair price. My brother-in-law told me to not go with the cheapest bid, but to go with the contractor we thought would do the best job, and that was Dave. He was within a few dollars of the next lowest bid but we feel that we more than got our money's worth. We love our new driveway and so do our neighbors. Our experience with not only Dave, but with his entire crew gives me no hesitation to give Parker Concrete a Five Star review. read more

Dave and his team just finished pouring a new back patio and base for our fire pit, and new front steps for our front yard. He worked with us on sizing, shaping, color, everything to match our exact vision, and they did an excellent job at a very reasonable price. We couldn't be happier with the end result and I wouldn't hesitate for even a moment recommending this crew to others. read more

Found Dave on yelp and liked the reviews so decided to call for a quote. Dave arrived a few days later on time. He spent a hour or so going over my plans and added some great input and valid points. His quote was on the cheaper side of several, but we decided to go with a company that covered the whole project (artificial turf, planting etc). Dave's been in the busy for a long time and knows his stuff. I even asked him to change the plans slightly which he did without question. His customer service was excellent and he was very professional. If I was only doing a concrete project I would for sure be using Dave. read more

Gold Struck in San Diego!! Cliff Notes: Hired Parker Concrete for Retaining Wall and Paver Yard Parker Concrete provided excellent consultation services. Parker Concrete did an excellent job and gave tons of freebies Parker Concrete's crew members found a massive amount of gold and returned it. Repeat: Parker Concrete's crew members found a massive amount of gold and returned it. We are totally satisfied with the work done from top to bottom and would wholeheartedly recommend Parker Concrete for all services offered. An honest company with impeccable morals and values. This was the best sentence I came up with to describe Parker Concrete since it's hard to accurately describe them in a couple words or a sentence. My terraced retaining wall recently failed and the top wall fell down. Our family decided that we should also remodel the backyard when we construct a new wall. I contacted several companies for bids. Dave from Parker Concrete came by and surveyed the work, drew a design for the patio, and gave me some options for the work. The proposed wall is a 3 feet 6 inches engineered one, Country Manor by Keystone, which uses the Geogrid system. Dave had strongly advocated for a traditional wall using split face blocks, cement footing, and rebar since it is a tried and true system. However, we like the looks of the Country Manor wall much more. We decided to go with pavers for the ground. Stepping stones were proposed for the walk way from the back yard to the front yard. Dave Parker and a crew of 5 guys came by and started working on our place in November 2012. The back yard had some personal items that needed to be moved. Dave took initiative and helped me move all the items. The crew started demolishing the wall and yard. They excavated the work area, moved loads of dirt from the slope, and prepared the back yard for wall and paver construction. The crew worked hard daily and Dave came by everyday to work or to check on the progress and make adjustments as necessary. Changes are common with every construction job but Dave was easily accessible in case we had questions or needed anything. Dave was clearly on top of things. Things were going smoothly as planned. We were happy with the work so far but Dave wanted to spoil us. He tossed in freebies left and right so the wall and yard can look nicer. These items were expensive and we never bargained for it initially so Dave had no obligation to give us these freebies and lose profit. We have worked with many contractors and companies in the past and no one ever gave us any or as much free materials/work as Dave did. Things only got better from there. One morning Dave knocked on our door and told us, in a serious tone, that he needed to talk to us in private. We have never seen Dave so serious before so we were feeling kind of anxious and nervous. Dave bought in two of his crew members and he explained that something happened on the job which he has never experienced before. Dave continued to explain that the guys found something. I had no idea what he found so I just made a joke to Dave that he found gold. Well, joke is on me sort of since the crew really did strike gold. We were totally shocked when Dave showed us the gold he found in our back yard. Dave explained to us how the crew found gold and where they found it. We could only nod our head since we were speechless. It took awhile to let everything settle in. A couple days passed and we were still in awe and disbelief at what had happened and how people can be so honest. The job was completed in the time frame that Dave estimated. We did a final walk through and everything looked fantastic. The installed drains functioned as expected. The Country Manor Wall looked sturdy and the pavers were gorgeous. The stepping stones topped off the project nicely. Dave's crew made a staggered walkway with rectangular steps that were composed of patterned pavers. The employees accidentally destroyed a concrete stoop outside of our sliding glass door but they gave us an upgraded paver stoop when they rebuilt it so we came out on top once again. The job finished up with a Phil's BBQ lunch. We thanked the crew for everything. . It was a good feeling to do something for the guys to thank them for the extra work that they put into the job. This project really didn't feel like a business transaction where you just paid for someone's work and then went your own ways. It felt more like having a trustworthy friend come over to help you with a project. In short, I wholeheartedly recommend Parker Concrete for all masonry work, retaining walls, and patios. I would hire Dave and crew for all construction needs if he offered it. Thanks Again Dave, Leo (lead crew member), Jose, Goyo, Carlos, and Markx read more

Second time working with these guys and just had to write a few more words... This time we did our backyard. Huge project for us and we were worried about the color, the design, how it will look, how it will fit within our backyard etc. Dave took the time (like he always does) to understand us, suggest options, help us understand what every option would mean and giving us the best price possible. The job was done promptly, with the type of great respect, professionalism, and customer service you don't run into every day. Everything was done to look and feel perfect. We highly recommend these guys to anyone who needs anything concrete related!!! read more

Dave Parker and crew were great to work with. Replaced our driveway and front walk and poured a concrete RV pad in our backyard.

Thank you again, Dave! We LOVE our new driveway!! read more

Parker concrete did our backyard in Poway and did a super job. When we started we were just getting estimates, we wanted to keep our existing patio since it had beautiful slate tile we didn't want to demo. We talked with several contractors and they were all over the board. Dave Parker provided good advice about the site layout and approach, told us what his company could do and not do and then once we signed our contract his company installed everything we agreed on and more. Even better, if something didn't turn out as planned he came over personally and then had his guys fix it. We would definitely hire Parker concrete again!! We give Parker concrete five stars!! read more

Dave Parker owner of Parker Concrete did such an excellent job on my back yard/driveway. They were so professional with their work. The team was great, always polite and respectful. I was so pleased with the job and timely fashion. Dave went above and beyond on all the details to make this project one of a kind! After all the rain we've had I can say he did an excellent job on the drainage system under the concrete, no pooling at all. There were a few changes along the way but always went smooth without a hitch! His prices are fair and you really feel like you got a bargain when the job is complete! Thanks again Parker Concrete! read more
