Review of C & O Masonry Contractor (Manu) - Driveway Replacement, August 2025…read moreAfter receiving several proposals for replacing my badly cracked asphalt driveway, I selected C & O Masonry Contractor. Their quote was competitive--not the highest, not the lowest--but what really set them apart was their professionalism. I had been warned by several of my local advisors that many concrete contractors in the area are known for demanding large sums upfront, only to delay work or disappear entirely. Thankfully, C & O proved to be the complete opposite. Initial Impressions:The owner, Manu, first contacted me via text and promptly scheduled a site visit for 2 PM the following day. True to his word, he arrived a few minutes early, presented his business card, and reviewed the project scope, which included removing the existing asphalt and installing a new 4-inch-thick concrete driveway with a border around my carport. One of my first impressions was the respectful and collaborative relationship between Manu and his son, who accompanied him. It was clear this was a man teaching his son the value of honest work--a detail that really resonated with me. Work Process & Execution:On August 20, Manu and his son arrived at 8 AM to begin work. (Unbeknownst to me, the excavator had already arrived the previous evening.) Over the course of three days, the crew removed the old asphalt, hauled it away in a dumpster, formed the new layout, and laid wire mesh. I later requested a minor upgrade to fiberglass rebar, which Manu handled with professionalism and ease--listening carefully and making the change without issue. On August 26, a full crew of at least 12 workers arrived along with a pump truck and two loads of concrete. In less than four hours, they poured over 22 yards of concrete, completing the job efficiently and with great attention to detail. While work was underway, three men dressed in casual business attire appeared and introduced themselves as union representatives or inspectors. They stood on my lawn and observed the project for about an hour, which only further reassured me that everything was being done to standard. Results:The finished product--driveway and walkway--is clean, precise, and has a beautifully sealed "wet look." I contracted Manu to seal the concrete right after the pour, and I'm very happy with that decision. My neighbors have since commented on how great it looks and how professional the crew was throughout the process. Final Thoughts:If you're wondering whether I would recommend C & O Masonry Contractor, the answer is a firm yes. In fact, more than just a recommendation, they will be my first call for any future concrete work. -- Louis from Kaneohe, August 2025
