I am very, very happy with the new patio Jose and team installed. They are an excellent company to…read morework with for the following reasons: QUALITY - paver layout is beautiful, & they installed extra gravel & drainage pipes to address my "swamp" COMMUNICATION - I always knew exactly what was happening, when the workers/trucks would be here. Before work began, Jose responded promptly to my requests for changes in design, gave detailed drawings &estimates PRICE - it was a very fair price, and lower than the other bid I got for a simple rectangular design DESIGN - my requirements were a bigger patio that covers up the swamp. Jose came up with a plan that has curves to fit in well with the curves in my existing landscape, plus the swamp is gone! He gave me advice on which sizes of pavers would work well in the design. PROFESSIONALISM - every day the team was on time and left the area cleaned up. They laid and re-laid pavers until they were satisfied with the look. They spent a lot of time leveling and fixing places where water pooled on my lawn/old patio. They improved the downspout drains and crawlspace vents. Call them for your project, you'll be glad you did!

After 2 years living in our Issaquah rambler, we were tired of our grubby back yard. With a very…read moresloping hillside slumping into it, the constant roll of rocks, and puddling of runoff made the space not very enjoyable. Our small deck, and a big dirt patch was also not a clean or functional space for us or our dog - so it was time for a change. Once we set our minds to investing in a renovation, I met with 7 (yes 7!) concrete, rockery, and paver providers to discuss the projected heat their ideas, and solicit quotes. A number of the providers were visionless, one was rude, and another was wildly expensive (twice as much as any of the others). Enter Jose and J Zamora Construction. While my initial vision for the space was admittedly to have a concrete patio, with a paver retaining wall - after meeting with Jose, my mind changed. In the most genuine and non-pressuring tone possible, he educated me about the benefits of using pavers (repairability, less cracking risk, better drainage, etc). That, combined with both his understanding of the challenges of my property, as well as his unique lense on a design for our space - made Jose a stand out. I also greatly appreciated that when I expressed specific wishes, he did not take offense when those ideas didn't align with his initial recommendation. When some providers acted put-off when I said "I don't want to take out this tree" (etc.), Jose took it in stride and offered solutions rather than trying to convince me that my preference was unreasonable. After viewing our property, he was prompt, kind, and fair in his quote to us. His documentation was thorough and clear. That, along with his truly aesthetically, and functionally minded vision for our space convinced me to completely pivot from "I'm doing concrete", to "let's go with pavers". After hiring Jose, he recommended products that suited our combined vision for my yard, was transparent about potential overages, and ultimately executed a project that is beyond my dreams for our difficult space. His crew of 6 busted their behinds for 4 solid days to crack it out. They were prompt, respectful of my property and neighbors; and thorough in their daily, and end of project cleanup. They even went above and beyond to carefully re-lay our dog's invisible fence line, which was displaced in the underground drainage portion of our project. Ultimately, we're left with the addition of nearly 1000 square feet to our livable space. An area that started as a grubby dirt patch has become a clean and stunning use of space. It flows with the natural landscape, and looks cohesive with our very mid century home. We have had neighbors (known to us and new introductions) stop by with their jaws on the floor - one even saying "you've made this yard the showpiece of the mountain". Once we paint the house - our sweet little rambler will be perfection - and we have Jose to thank for so much of our exterior transformation.

He suggested a few long-term preventive maintenance things, some easy DIY things I could do in the next year, and was clearly was honest and not up-selling us anything. Very reasonable rates compared to other quotes we received, and cleaned up after himself - we will definitely use him again for any future fireplace maintenance.

After collecting our payment Jason called at the last minute to say they couldn't return on the promised day because of a conflict on his part. We rescheduled for two weeks layer because we were out of town the next week. They never showed up and ignored text messages. When we finally got to speak with him almost 4 weeks later, he kept rudely talking over the top of my husband, yelling that it was our fault because we were out of town on that ONE day, then eventually he hung up on us. When we asked for a return of the funds if he had no intention of doing the work he kept insisting that he knows his rights and that we'd be wasting out time in court. He also let us know that (and I quote) "You are not a priority for me". I'd think that you taking my money makes me a prioritybut what do I know. On further examination of the small print on his contract, he does insert language that says he can take your money and do nothing. Buyer beware- this is outright fraud!!!

I would not recommend Jason Pachenker or Able Concrete to anyone. There were some red flags from…read morethe start that I should have listened to. Once underway, the workmanship was extremely poor. Jason wanted to skip using rebar and use only concrete that was fiber-reinforced. I said no, rebar is a must. Everything was an argument with this guy. Jason eventually demanded payment for work he hadn't done yet. When I said no, he left my project screaming obscenities and never came back. After a couple weeks I told him that if he didn't come back I consider it that he abandoned my project. I mailed him Breach of Contract documents. I ended up having to hire someone else to complete the job. The other crew laughed at Jason's formwork and said they doubted it would have held the concrete pour without rupturing. Search for Jason's prior company Knuckle Down Concrete - all horrible reviews and it looks like the Department of Labor and Industries shut it down. Looks like he also runs a possibly illegal pitbull breeding company. Don't trust this guy. Don't give him any of your money.
