What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently experience polished service from estimate to cleanup. David Bordeman and crew chief Santos deliver high-finish concrete work-driveways, patios, slabs, stamped finishes-with meticulous detail like hand-finishing, proper joint placement, and same-day cleanup. Fast scheduling, transparent quotes, and digital payment stand out. One reviewer documented warranty trouble when a project manager left and the company declined further correction, though many others report flawless post-install follow-up. Pricing runs mid-to-high but feels justified by the work quality and professional handling.

Recent shift: One negative review revised 10 months ago from 5-star to 1-star due to cracking and incomplete warranty repair; most recent reviews are consistently 5-star with emphasis on attention to detail and responsive service, suggesting this issue may be isolated or addressed through staff changes, though confidence is limited.

Worth knowing

David Bordeman: owner and lead contact; responds quickly to inquiries
Santos: crew chief known for 8+ hour finishing work on large driveways, picking stones from landscaping post-completion
Practice of laying stone base under all pours (noted as uncommon among competitors)
Post-installation follow-up visits a few days after pour for control-joint grinding and minor revisions
Crew cleaned for nearly 2 hours on one documented job
One reviewer noted project manager was let go mid-warranty, affecting communication

What reviews say by service

Driveway Installation & Repair: Majority praise finish quality and quick completion; one report of cracking at joint where old concrete met new, disputed as installation defect.
Stamped & Decorative Concrete: Reviewers praise stamped patio finishes for beauty and detail work.
Patios, Walkways & Pool Decks: Consistently praised for design input, quick turnaround, and professional finish.
Foundations & Slabs: One multi-project partner (Tuff Shed) praises slabs as smooth, level, and cleanly finished; another reviewer notes hand-detailed slab with proper expansion joints.
Concrete Repair & Resurfacing: One warranty repair declined or only partially remedied; most reviews do not address repair-specific work.
