Ramon personally came out to survey the work we needed done, explained the plan and gave us a solid price. They broke up and removed a slouched walkway and two patio slabs, poured new concrete at proper grade, and now all the water around our house moves away from the house. They did such a great job that not 2 months later I called them back to do the same for our garage's apron that was flooding the garage and our backyard. They were professional, fast, and communicative, and Ramon's just a nice guy in general. Great work. read more

Looking for quality cement work?, you'll be very happy after hiring Ponce. Ramon the owner came out to bid the project - several areas around our house, including a front stair-step. He showed up on time, talked through options and gave a very reasonable bid. The team showed up a few minutes earlier than promised on work day, and got right to work after confirming the options (draft angle, ramping etc.). Every member knows their job well and they work great as a team. Very nice and respectful and they cleaned up nicely after the work was done. Ramon checked in with both the team and me during the work to make sure everything was going well. There was a small question about one area, due to our old house, not their work. They came back out the next time they had work in our area (I told Ramon no rush, and I rightfully trusted him to follow through) and made the adjustment to perfection. There was great communication straight through our interactions and we couldn't be happier. Go ahead and give them a call! You'll be happy too. read more

Just an update to my review that I did in 2021.... These guys are the very best. After 5 years, my driveway looks brand new. I still can't believe how hard these guys worked. I would recommend them any day. Fantastic experience. It is always a pleasure to deal with honest and hardworking folks, and that is what you get with Ponce Contractors. read more

I contacted Jesse about some patch work and replacing sunken walkways. Jesse was very patient (it was a few years from the initial quote til we did the work) and explained why we could do option A or B and why option C, which would've been more expensive, wasn't necessary. Jesse's advice was solid. The workers were quick, everything looks great and Ponce's pricing was great. Highly recommend! read more

New side walk and backyard basketball court extension turned out great! I would recommend their services to anyone!

They did an excellent job at our home and my neighbors backyard. We had a unique area to engineer and they came up with a great idea to maximize our space. Incredible work and communication. Highly recommend Ponce Contractors! read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ponce concrete inc, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional results they delivered. From the initial consultation with Jessi, to the final touches, their professionalism, expertise, prices and commitment to quality were truly remarkable. From the begging, Ramon, the owner was so easy to talk to and all the way his entire team exhibited a high level of professionalism throughout the project. The job was in the basement, but When I asked if they can fix up the concrete in my sidewalk, Ramon gave me on spot a reasonable estimate and we added the sidewalk to the job. the team was thinking outsider the box and without asking, they also fixed my broken stairs! They left the place clean and nice when they finished working. Ponce concrete demonstrated a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was completely happy with the results. read more

I searched for concrete contractors through Yelp and they sent my info to 5 other contractors. Ramon was the first one to respond and provide a quote within 5min. After receiving the other quotes Ramon was by far the best. Once we agreed to the terms he quickly got to work on the project. He was efficient and professional even with the city permit delays the work was done really well. I would recommend him to anyone that I know that needs concrete done. read more

I spoke with Ramon about my "Shit Show" I had in front of my basement door. Foundation was cracked, improper drainage and the pitch was going toward the door! I knew the colder weather was upon us and ask the owner if he could do it ASAP! He said he could being a smaller job he could knock it out in a day...And they did just that! They took out the old and put in the new! They poured new concrete, installed the proper drainage grate and put the correct pitch on all four sides so that water goes right in the drain. I will definitely have them out in the spring to fix sections of my sidewalk that a previous company did wrong. Please see before, during and after pics of the project. Thanks again for the great job and see you guys in the spring! Mike L. read more

Ramon and his team did an excellent job turning my patch of dirt into a wonderful patio. From the initial phone call to the finished product, this company was great to work with. Ramon provided guidance on getting the look we where looking for. I was even provided with a concrete 101 lesson on what to expect once concrete is settled and maintenance tips for the care of my new patio. I very much appreciated Ramon's team attention to detail in the work they did and the manner in which they did it. read more

Got a reasonably quick response given contacting them mid summer. Price was better than 2 other quotes, so scheduled in July for August work date. They did it all in a day, owner Ramon was on site before they started to work through my plan and suggested some slight modification and concrete coloring. Everything looks excellent! Thanks Jesse the estimator and Ramon for a great experience start to finish. read more

Update: Had them come out to pour an additional pad to our back yard. Great job. Highly recommended.

Ponce did a great job on our driveway at home and concrete work at our commercial. Great communication during quote, planning and construction phases. The workers were very friendly, hard working and did quality jobs. Overall a pleasure to work with. read more

I had a really great experience with this company. I sent them a message with my phone number and within maybe 10 minutes Ramon called me to discussed my project. Not only did he book a quota for the next morning, but he also spent a lot of time educating me on what I can expect from concrete - both pros and cons and on topics like ongoing maintenance. The quoting process was also great. Perfect on time arrival and the quoter took a lot of time to share ideas and educate us on both the install and long term maintenance. If you are looking for a company that has amazing customer service and takes time help you make the right decision for your project- look no further! read more

Ponce Builders did a wonderful job demolishing our old porch, including the ugly pavers someone before us glued on top. They worked quickly and poured us a big new porch. Ramon, the owner, is friendly and professional. We are pleased with their work. Highly recommend! read more

Ponce Contractors did an amazing job on our concrete! My husband hasn't enjoyed that our concrete didn't line up with our porch & we're so happy this company could fix that. Enrique meet with us to do our quote. My husband & I enjoyed talking to him about what we wanted done & he gave us great advice on future projects we will be doing. The owner Ramon was very personable as well & we were blown away that he showed up on the day our work was schedule & got in on tearing up our concrete. Their crew worked so hard & completed the job in a day. We're looking forward to using them in the future. Added some photos of their amazing work. Ignore the grass area, that's phase 2 of getting our yard together :) read more

Outstanding job pouring a concrete walkway between houses. Reasonable price, expert craftsmanship. These guys know concrete. Ramon is reliable and responsive. He worked hard to get the job done before bad weather set in. read more

Ponce was quick to set up an appointment and a bit tough to get started as he was super backed up with work at first. Once we were locked in the work commenced I want to say within 3 weeks. I had him do a complex basement dig down and pour over. He also dug out and installed a new front entrance into my basement with stairs that lead out to the city side walk. The final phase was a backyard patio pour that came out amazing. It was a year long relationship with the man from quote to end and I have to say he always stood by his word on when he was going to be there for the next few phases. Clean up was minimal and all looked great once the crew was done. They even remembered to stop by to pick up all their cement stakes which i've seen many other contractors not even bother. Great group of guys and I look forward to dealing with him and his crew in the future. Photos to follow. read more

Went in for seconds with the Ponce guys, had them come by to remove and re-pour our gangway. And so glad we did too. They redid the pitch to drain a different direction which required some figuring but it was so easy to discuss with them and work out together. Ya know, I gotta say, it's remarkably​ refreshing to work with people who want to do the job right, who want to work with you not against you. Great crew, nice people, respectful of things/plants/etc. around the job, they clean up like they were never there, they're quick, efficient, know what they're doing, and the work is solidly phenomenal. Hire them. read more

We hired Ponce to remove and replace an old sidewalk and a large garage apron in the alley. It was a lot of work removing the old deep concrete but they got the job done and the finish work for the new concrete looks great. The price was great compared to other quotes as well. I will call them next time I need concrete work. read more

Great experience with Ponce Contractors!! Enrique quickly responded to our request for an estimate. He was polite, professional, and very helpful explaining the process. We received an estimate the next day, it was clear, accurate, and a very fair price. As soon as we confirmed we wanted to proceed, Ramon took over. We scheduled the work and he and his crew were there on time and ready to go. Could not have been a better group to work with. Respectful of our property and our neighbors, They knocked out the demolition, removal, and framing quickly and efficient. We went with stamped, colored, and antiquing, it came out beautiful, completely changed and upgraded our patio and yard. Ramon takes a lot of pride in his work and his company. He is so easy to work. I highly recommend Ponce, I'm pretty sure you'll be very happy with the results!! read more

I called these guys because they are local and didn't really know about them before. It turns out that they had done work on my house before and I really liked how it turned out. I called them for a patio replacement. They came out, at the time they said they would. Worked efficiently and actually got the job done earlier than promised. The biggest plus for me was that Ramon and the entire crew are there to get the job done and still were personable and responsive to my requests and inquiries. They also cleaned up the site very well. I would highly recommend these guys! read more

I can't tell you if they are a good value or not. Their email responses were very slow. We finally agreed on Saturday morning for a driveway estimate and they never showed! I never even got a phone call or email apologizing. Very difficult to rate a company that doesn't respond read more

My neighbors and I live in a three flat, and our backyard was a mess with dirt and rocks (that I constantly slipped on), and it was difficult to navigate the slippery rocks in the winter. Not to mention that rats would burrow in the dirt and get under our carport. After reading all the great reviews, we called Ponce. They came out to provide an estimate the same day that I reached out (on a Thursday), and the communication was great throughout the process. They were able to start the work on Monday and did a great job. The crew worked so hard on our project even though it was relatively small. I would wholeheartedly work with them again and recommend them to my friends who needed any concrete work done at their house. read more

Ramon made this project as easy as it gets. Quickly provided a very good quote to remove some old sidewalk, and then followed-up just as quickly in getting the crew out to do the work. The crew was on-time, worked quickly and cleanly, and were very pleasant to interact with. I will be using them again. read more

A very professional and courteous company. Excellence as promised. Highly recommended.

My concrete floating stairs to a second floor building were falling apart and I wanted them to be completely redone. I was having a hard time finding someone who had done these type of stairs and every person that came out to quote seemed daunted by the job. It took over a year to finally come across Enrique and Ramon at Ponce Contractors. It was so refreshing speaking to these guys--no ifs, ands, or buts! We got a contract done and they broke ground that same week. Project took two weeks and the stairs turned out beautifully. Ramon and Enrique, thanks for your professionalism and for making the process easy! read more

These guys were excellent from start to finish. Enrique responded quickly and got me a competitive quote. He got me on the schedule and the guys were here on time. They were professional and did great work! Very happy and will use them again. read more

My condo association needed to have our front steps replaced and a new sidewalk installed to replace the marginal work that the original developer did. I realize that finding a contractor on Craig's List is pretty much a crap shoot, but didn't know where else to turn. I meet with three contractors and received bids from each with Ponce Builders being the only one to submit a written bid outlining the scope of work to be done. This and the fact that the other cement contractors were willing to acquiesce to my likely ill conceived money saving shortcuts whereas Ponce was not garnered them a better reputation in my associations eyes. The work was done quickly and the owners and crew were quite accommodating and did a good job cleaning up the construction debris. Their lead cement finisher was a bit of a perfectionist and did a fantastic job. Sadly the neighborhood kids managed to drop a kickball into the finished sidewalk about ten minutes after the workers had left, but what are you going to do. All things considered from price to quality I'm very happy with the job that Ramon and his crew did. read more

Nobody better at concrete. Nobody. We had an awkward project that involved moving the door into our basement, digging a new space for new steps (by hand) on the side of the house, cutting through 10 inches of foundation for the new door, pouring a section of new foundation to replace where the old door was removed, trenching for new drains that needed to be connected to the main drain, and then creating new concrete steps. We received a number of quotes and ideas on how to pull this off in a small space. Ramon was the guy. A reasonable bid and, more importantly, the best ideas. He and his crew, including Alex and Noe, were courteous, professional, quick, and thorough. It was a pleasure to have them working onsite. (And we've worked with a LOT of contractors over the years.) Not only did they do an amazing job, they also took away all of the extra dirt and clay from the dig at our request. Ramon was also very tech-proficient, and I received prompt and professional replies to my emails on the mornings when I couldn't be at the house to supervise. Gets the HouseinProgress Seal of Approval! read more

I hired Ponce Builders for concrete work along the side of the house, front step, and garage slab. Their quality of work is good but, attention to detail is NOT. We made the huge mistake in telling the crew leader and not Ramon the important finishing details we wanted. Resulting in my requests being ignored. There was also some damage to the basement window lintel during the demolition of old concrete. I understand that some damage can be done during demolition but the fact that they didn't let me know about it was very disappointing. Unfortunately, I noticed this two days after the work was finished. read more

I had Ramon Ponce out to give me an estimate in regard to replacing a dilapidated front porch. The cheap, quick fix, skim coat deal that was on the porch quickly deteriorated. Ramon came out not once, but twice, to provide guidance for this project. A written estimate was then sent via email and he followed up with a call. I accepted his offer and within a few days, he and his crew were out there. They knocked down the old porch, removed a collapsing sidewalk, and replaced everything with a different design. The concrete is beautiful and I am quite satisfied. My property value just went up and I no longer have to be afraid to take the stairs. read more

Ramon and his crew went above and beyond my expectations. I pictured a design in my head and it turned out even better than I imagined.

Excellent Service for first time homeowners. A portion of my house was sitting on an old concrete slab and Ramon and crew came out with BY FAR the lowest bid to build a new foundation for this section of the house. He was excellent at communicating with text/phone/email. He quoted me next day and stayed true to his quote even as the job slightly changed. The job was not quite as extensive as the other quotes in the details but he came and did the work to exactly what he proposed. You can't really argue with the value of his service. The unsatisfied people on here are probably just too hard to please. I don't want to do more concrete work anytime soon but I will def use Ramon Ponce and his crew again. He treated me with respect and gave me ideas on finishing the project. I wish him success moving forward! November 2015 UPDATE I had Ramon and his crew come and do some repair work on my chimney and everything went great again! Highly Recommended! read more

The best company for concrete job!! I will call them again! They did amazing job. Very nice and professional!
