My husband and my expectations were definitely superseded by Silvestre and staff at Refinecrete. From the initial contact with the girls in the office to the finished project all we can say is we are very pleased we hired them. We hired Silvestre at Refinecrete to tear out a bunch of debris, bushes, and junk and a deteriorating concrete driveway and replace it with a new concrete stamp and stain driveway that wraps around to my backyard. We also wanted a new outdoor patio and retaining wall so we decided to go with concrete pavers for the patio and concrete retaining wall even though it was more expensive. I'm glad we splurged on our home. The girls in the office are so helpful and kept us in the loop of the project start date and all the details. Silvestre is the owner-operator so he was on sight doing majority of the work. He had a couple of helpers and they did great too. There is peace when an owner-operator is one sight handling the project management Because of that our project was on time and on budget. Refinecrete is one of the best concrete company and my husband and I highly recommend them to anyone needing home improvements. I will upload pictures soon so you can see the amazing work they did. Do yourself a favor and hire a concrete company who exceeds your exectations. Anne read more

A while back Silvester and his guys did a low maintenance landscape yard for me. They did such great job from initial contact to finishing the job on time and on budget. They built a half wall and concrete courtyard, concrete mow strip, planted succulents, added decorative rock, and a small grass area in front of my house. On the side yard they built a retaining wall that had to get permitted by the County Of Santa Barbara. Refinecrete office handled the permit process for us so we didn't have to deal with it. They also added small dwarf palm trees and gravel. REFINECRETE is a great company. They really take pride in their customers and projects and the outcome is exactly what I had envisioned. Thank you Refinecrete for your hard work and for my new low maintenance landscaped front yard! I highly recommend Silvester for landscaping, concrete, and masonry. Garcia Family read more

We had a few companies come out to bid our project for our back yard. Sylvester with Refinecrete was by far the easiest to communicate with and had the most reasonable honest prices. You want quality work at a honest price and that is exactly what he delivered. He gave us a break down of exactly what would be done and a timeline for the work to be completed. He is personally on the job working to ensure quality, not one of those contractors that sends guys out and hopes for the best. They were on time everyday and completed the job exactly in the time frame quoted. Needless to say we are SO happy with the finished product we can't wait to start using the new space. Definitely will be using him for all our other projects and have already referred him to our family and friends! Thanks for the great work Sylvester! read more

I am very happy that I hired Refinecrete to complete my backyard restoration project. Sylvestor is a very skilled and professional contractor. He provided a prompt estimate and was very reliable as he and his crew showed up early every morning to complete the project. The initial project included a concrete slab extension of my existing patio and the application of stamping, an overlay and stain to achieve a uniform, textured, artistic surface design. After seeing the results of his skilled and conscientious concrete work, I decided to hire him to complete two retaining walls and a paver walkway. He also worked very hard to consider the drainage and leveling issues that are inherent in my sloped backyard. I will be contacting Refinecrete for my future projects. read more

I would definitely recommend Sylvester and his company to do concrete. We had a curvy pathway and patio put in in the backyard and also concrete along both sides of my house. He did an excellent job! He first brought over pictures of work he has done. Then he came and laid the foundation work. He even changed it a few times (he did a lot of extra work for me) without complaining. He also did all of this at no extra charge. He also worked very quickly and communicated often with me. He does very good work at a very good price. He also cleaned up everything (spent an extra day to do that) very nicely. He also put in drains for us and some pipes under the cement. He is very knowledgeable and has years of experience (It is apparent). read more

Our concrete pad was old and lifting so we called a few masonry businesses in our area Refinecrete being one of them. We also were looking to have a block wall installed on the side of the driveway. Refinecrete staff was professional and got all of our information and we ended up sending them some pictures of the area and what our vision was for the wall. We just fell in love with Sylvester and his team that we decided to move forward without getting 5 quotes like we generally do. Overall the price was fair for the hard work they did. We recommend them to anyone who needs concrete or block work. This is definitely an A+ company and my husband and I are extremely satisfied. I will share pictures of my project. read more

Our job was a small one, about 200 linear feet of mow strip, front and back yards. We got several bids and Refinecrete's was the best. We selected them not only because of price but we felt comfortable with Sylvester from the start. He and his crew had the job done as promised in two days in spite of the rain, responded to our few special requests, recognized and allowed for natural drainage patterns, finished off the mow strip very nicely and left the premises completely free of debris. Based on our experience with Refinecrete, with Sylvester and his crew, we would heartily recommend them and will return to them in the future for any concrete work! read more

Sylvester and his team take pride in what they deliver to their customers and it shows. We are beyond impressed with his work and attention to detail. This company knows the in's and out's to getting a job done right. His skill and craft shows in how he lays out a design and puts the finishing touches on what your vision is. He is very prompt, has great communication, and patient with making sure his customers are happy with the end product. We are more than pleased to have our latest project completed by him and his team and will definitely be using him again for other jobs as well as referring him to our friends and family. Thank you, Refinecrete! read more

Love the work done at our home. Sylvester has a great design sense and really knew how to execute our vision of a modern patio. I felt like I could trust him to do a good job without me overseeing everything. For example: I told him I preferred to have a rounded edge on the grass that was being put down. Later as the concrete was finished and he started lining up the grass he realized it would look better to have the edges squared instead of rounded. Sylvester took the time to get my approval for the change and it made a big difference on the outcome of the job. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone. read more

Sylvester just finished pouring a huge back patio for us as well as a slab for a shed. He was able to schedule our job quickly and once he started he was here each morning bright and early until the job was done. No frustrating waiting around! He was very professional and confidence inspiring. We are very happy with the quality of his work as well as his attention to detail and would definitely recommend Refinecrete to our friends. When you spend a big chunk of money on something, you want it done right and we are happy to say that Sylvester delivered! And he's a nice guy, too! read more

I recommend Sylvester to anyone looking for concrete work along with any landscape needs you might have. He laid a beautiful stamped concrete patio and walkways in my backyard that I'm thrilled with. He is honest, shows up and works really hard to make sure the job is done right. He is a true professional along with his crew. He got back to me within a day with an estimate and took the time to explain what the process would be. As soon as I possibly can, I will definitely have him back to do landscaping in my front yard. read more

We recently had our back yard done by Refinecrete and was very impressed with Sylvester's professionalism, creativity and quality of his work. He did our back patio with an adjoining sidewalk in a stamped concrete with a brown dye. We absolutely love our new outdoor area! We look forward to working with him again on creating a fireplace for our home. Excellent job, prompt scheduling, and quality work for a fair price. We have already recommended him to others looking for concrete living areas. read more

Sylvester and Katrina made the process of installing a new driveway as easy as possible. Sylvester redesigned our driveway so that drainage is improved and more parking is possible. He really concentrated on the details to make the project come out the way we wanted it to. He worked within our budget as well. Now our new driveway is beautiful as well as improved. When I have other concrete projects I will not hesitate to call Refinecrete. read more

I had two color stamped patios refinished by Sylvester of Refinecrete. He did a fantastic job from start to finish. One patio is multicolored, he was able to match some of the colors and where he couldn't he worked with me to find the right new colors. He is a very patient detailed craftsman, and a real gentleman. Sylvester's office staff are true professionals. I would highly recommend him for your cement work. read more

I highly recommend Refinecrete! read more

I needed a total redo in my disaster of a backyard. Sylvester did a wonderful job, offering suggestions and guidance on both practical and ornamental ideas. The new backyard patio looks fantastic. I would recommend Sylvester and his crew for any of your projects. The office support staff is also extremely helpful and supportive. Great all round company, honest, fare and efficient. read more

I called 9 different contractors and either they wouldn't call back or they wouldn't show up. Sylvester answered right away and started the job early. Sylvester and his crew are hard working and respectful. He hauled an endless amount of dirt out of my backyard, leveled it, poured concrete and added mulch. A nice blank canvas to do what I need. I will use him every time. read more

We highly recommend Sylvester and his company, they do excellent work and show up when they tell you they will.

We plan to use them for any future projects also. read more
