Dean and Robert didn't just do great work. They earned my trust…read more My wife designed the layout and my engineer contributed specifications. What impressed me is that Dean and Robert took both and made them better, using their real knowledge of how concrete works. The control joints are placed right, they put in real drainage with actual drains and grading built throughout, and it looks clean and classy without being overdone. Flatwork around the entire house, driveway, front yard, backyard, both sides, fencing, gates. Did they get everything perfect on the first pass? Almost. What separates them is that when something was off, they owned it completely. No excuses, no pushback, just fixed. They paid attention to details that other contractors I quoted either missed entirely or only caught after I nudged them. Dean caught everything without me saying a word. Every day at the end of their shift they cleaned up and secured the site, even when it wasn't convenient. Robert ran a tight field operation and cared about every detail like his reputation depended on it. I have a young kid at home and that told me everything about who these guys are. I had my own engineer come out and review the work on-site. He looked around and said, unprompted, "You've got a great crew here." Engineers don't hand out compliments. That meant something. These guys come from commercial construction and brought that level of expertise to a residential job without going overkill. I actually spotted their truck at another client's property. Here's my honest take: if my mom needed this much work done and I couldn't be there to check in, I would still trust Dean to make sure she was taken care of. That's the highest thing I can say.

My tree roots had badly cracked and lifted the sidewalk. His quote wasn't the lowest, but it was fair. I could rest easy knowing he had the appropriate license, insurance, and knowledge to meet the city requirements with no hassle. With the Safe Sidewalks program things are now streamlined as far as paperwork, and with the temporary waiver of permit fee (up to $2,200), I figured I would get this taken care of now. Give Roberto a call for a quote. He's very prompt and personable.

I contracted with Concrete Connection for a patio slab demo and pour, retaining wall replacement,…read moreand gravel work. I was about to bite the bullet with another company after three estimates, but decided to get one more estimate and I am so glad I did. I called Susanna and she sent Roger out on the same day to take measurements. It did take several follow-up calls on my end to get the actual estimate, but once I received the estimate I was pleasantly surprised at how it compared to the other 3 contractors I had received quotes from. We were actually able to have them do a slightly larger job and still stay under our budget. Roger is a genuinely good guy and an expert who takes pride in his work. Anything you want addressed, he is happy to do it. He has go-to guys to whom he subs out some labor (trenching, block laying, and debris removal), and they also do good work. I really hope Roger and his son are still with the company in a couple years when we're ready to have some more work done. It was true in my experience that it took some follow-up to get the estimates and then to get them out to start the job. Once they started, someone was there almost every day for two weeks working on something or other. They don't take any money until they show up on the jobsite ready to work, so there is no holding a deposit hostage. My one recommendation would be to have someone do a full walkthrough of the project, including what landscaping will be affected and how to minimize the damage. Roger had to tear up some of the groundcover shrubs in the front of the house to get his skid loader through the side gate; this worked in our favor because we wanted to widen the path anyway. The skid loader tore up our weed patch of a yard, which I had planned to till up and reseed in the fall, so I just took on that project a little early. For someone who was NOT planning to revamp or replant their yard, this could have been a major inconvenience.

Concrete Connection was one of several contractors that bid for the project. I hired Concrete Connection to replace my aging and ugly asphalt driveway with concrete and to also pour a slab in front of part of my house. I am very happy with the end product. The owner of Concrete Connection and their crew are very efficient, which enables them to do fast but thorough work. They are also highly skilled and courteous professionals, and they even tidy up the job site, as much as possible, at the end of the work day. I think the quality of their work is superb. On the day they poured the concrete it was pretty cool watching the team of pros working seamlessly and efficiently. The driveway and slab they poured for me definitely adds a lot of value to my house. I would recommend Concrete Connection to anybody who needs a great concrete contractor.

It was also great working with a true family business. You could tell they genuinely cared about the quality of their work and took pride in the finished product. That personal touch made the entire experience even better. The quality of their work and attention to detail really stand out. This was a significant project with a lot of custom work, and they delivered exactly what we were looking for. The finished space looks fantastic and completely transformed our outdoor area.

It is a flagstone patio in which he poured a concrete slab, let it set, then came back and set large pieces of flagstone on top in mortar while considering and making the drainage perfect. Not an easy task and needed an absolute professional and forward and smart thinker about the end project. Art Tarantino saw it all immediately and delivered in spades. I did get several other bids, he was the high end of the other bids, and had a longer wait time, but we are so glad we waited and went with him.

We called him on Friday- got a quote on Sunday and by 2pm that Friday our project was 100% complete. The other guys wanted to take all weekend and triple the labor charge. He did everything we agreed on and were such a pleasure to work with. We were at work during the whole pour but our nosy neighbors were there all up in their business taking pictures and asking questions and Jojo and his hardworking, friendly team were really polite about the paparazzi ;) We have a few more projects we will need concrete for and I'm so relieved that I won't have to waste time with all the other companies- we have our concrete guy set in stone!

I was given an excellent variety of bricks/blocks to choose for the wall, and the one I chose was competently installed. I was pleased to note the block I chose would be sourced from RCP in Chula Vista, where I have been a regular customer. The two workers agreed to relocate the existing pavers for my reuse as part of the original job. I really appreciated that. Although I was in no hurry, the job was completed quite expeditiously with the exception of the iron gate, the installation of which was subcontracted (and reviewed separately). The final results please me immensely. A&F solved a major problem, and I recommend the company to all.

They also built a flat bad for the air conditioner and were easy to coordinate around with the AC vendor for disconnect/reconnect. Filiberto was friendly to work with and provided a reasonable quote for the work. He gave an itemized quote so we were able to decide what portions of our goal we could achieve with the funding we had available. The final cost exactly matched the quote I received. The team showed up on-time. They were very friendly and required no supervision. The project was cleaned up perfectly when complete. We requested a quote on November 13, began the project on December 10 and did a final walk through on December 30. That was probably a week extended due to delays (with my AC vendor) in moving the AC so the concrete could be poured and the Christmas holiday. I could not be more ecstatic with the final product. We will definitely be using FMJ Concrete again in the future and I highly recommend you do as well.
