We talked about pricing for about 15 minutes, and the work started the very next day. Jose's pricing was very reasonable, especially considering that he specializes exclusively in concrete work. On top of his excellent communication, his work ethic and professionalism really stood out. Before starting, he provided a clear and detailed estimate, along with his license number, insurance, and workers' compensation information. The work also comes with a 10-year warranty, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. The entire project was completed within 5 days, exactly as promised in the contract. On top of that, Jose even helped us install a gazebo at no extra charge, which was a huge and much-appreciated bonus.

I reached out to Jose for a quote and he never got back to me. There was no follow‑up, no…read moreacknowledgment, and no effort to provide the information I requested. The complete lack of response shows a serious disregard for communication and professionalism. If this is how he handles a simple quote request, I can't imagine relying on him for anything more involved. Based on this experience, I would not recommend working with Jose. Genius, I am not your client, you did not get back to me.

Our original driveway was severely cracked due to tree root damage and was also collecting water in…read morefront of our garage due to a lack of proper grading and drainage. I reached out to Edwin at Monroe Masonry for a quote and explained the issues we were facing as well as what we were looking for. Edwin provided honest, straight forward advice and solutions and promptly emailed me an estimate and plans for exactly what I was looking for. His pricing was fair and I felt confident in his ability to deliver quality work. Now that everything is done I am completely blown away by the quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail by Edwin and his crew. Edwin went above and beyond, with improvements to our driveway that I didn't even originally ask for. He noticed that the 4x4 support beams for the roof overhang in front of my garage were pretty flimsy and would not withstand the forces of an earthquake well and suggested installed steel plating at the footings of the beams planted in a concrete base (see photos). He also replaced our sewage clean out which stuck out above our brick in front of the house and replaced with with a more modern cover that was flush with the brick. The flooding we were facing in front of the driveway is entirely remedied by the drainage installed with improved grading throughout the 1500sq ft of driveway to a central drain which goes out through our planters to the city street underneath the sidewalk. Edwin handled all the city permitting to deal with the sidewalk demo for us and generally kept us very well informed throughout the entire project. I cannot recommend Edwin and his team enough. Any concrete or masonry jobs I have in the future I will go through him. Working with Monroe Masonry was by far one of the best construction project experiences we have had with any builder we have worked with.

I hired Jaime years ago to fix a wall that was missing some cinder blocks, to increase privacy of…read moreour back yard which faces the street. After initial inspection, he came with a crew. They added few rows without paying attention to detail of adding sufficient concrete between them. My mom had to tell the workers to fill in the gaps. Then we had to tell them to fill in the gaps on our neighbor side because we share a wall. They did lazy work. Those areas were not filled at the joints. Needless to say, years later, today I am having issues with the wall. Because of the size block they used, my wall is now leaning and starting to buckle out. The new contractor I hired said this new block that was added is not up to code and it is the incorrect type/size. They should have never used it. Contractor also said many blocks are not set correctly because the joints were not properly adhered together with enough concrete between them. I was charged $1300 to add these 2-3 rows of blocks. And this was at least 7-8 years ago. I feel like I was ripped off. Now I have to tear the wall down and do it all over again because it has leaned to far it can't be repaired. It has to be replaced. Very upsetting especially because I wanted to hire a small local business. I want to support my community. It feels like they took advantage of our lack of knowledge behind wall building and codes. That's prob the worst part.

I mentioned I had a better offer from another company but needed the work done the same day. He then told me he could do it for $1,680, and I agreed based on that price. After the work was completed, I was shocked to find out the actual total was $2,080. Andrew claimed the $1,680 was only for the concrete and that an additional $400 for the pump was never included in that quote. At no point was this breakdown made clear to me, and I felt completely misled. When I called Andrew to express my concern, he was rude, dismissive, and made no effort to resolve the issue or even meet me halfway. I ended up paying the full amount, but this kind of shady pricing and poor communication is unacceptable. I will not be using this company again, and I strongly urge others to get every detail in writing before agreeing to anything. Be very careful with how pricing is presented. What they say and what they charge may be two very different things.

The situation was disappointing and frustrating to say the least, so I took matters into my own hands and called LA Concrete Works to see if they can fix the job for me. After reviewing the job and settling on a final start date, I could already see that this team was exceptional at what they do. Joe was communicative, ready to answer any question, and very lovely to work with - he is very detailed and came to visit the site often despite their busy schedule. Sydney at the main office was so understanding and a rockstar at keeping me up to date on the plan of action. Luis, Jose, and the install team were courteous, neat, and most of all extremely competent - they know what they are doing and they do it really well.

After that, I never heard back, no call, email, or text. It's a shame, because it sounds like the quality of their work is good, but their lack of communication left me no choice but to hire another contractor.
