Halls Concrete

It went fairly smoothly and the cleanup was good. Small job but done economically and to my satisfaction. Would use again.

ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. THIS GUY IS A SCAMMER, THREATENS, AND MAKES FRIVOLOUS INJURY CLAIMS. 1st red flag asked for half the money ($15,000) up front which is illegal to do in the state of California. So glad I never did, he would have taken the money and ran. I met Evan on site walked the entire job with him, in which he was very difficult to talk to about the entire job scope, he then sent me an invoice for $32,600.00. I explained I always pay as the job goes and that he will get a check if there is progress being made. He agreed to his invoice, down payment amount of $3500 and started the job. I had sent him plans to show where the footings were to be poured but explained there is additional grading, side walkways, and patio work not in the permitted plans; that will need to be done is why we walked the job site to begin with. This is where the first issue with him started. He claims we never discussed this, but it is clearly written in his invoice after showing him his invoice he then agreed to it. At this point the only work that had been done was grading, footings dug, and a garage demolition. He asked for a material deposit, so I gave him a check for $4000.00 and I had already sent him $1000.00 by zelle for dump fees, which I agreed to pay since it wasn’t clear in his invoice. When I showed up to check the progress several neighbors complained about the mess, he had made all over the sidewalks with dirt and there was no dust control. Upon this inspection I noticed that no additional grading was done in the areas he had agreed to, which was also the front yard and where the side walkways were also to be poured. I had to clean up the site and apologize to my neighbors and order dust prevention fences. Here is where we had the disconnect...I gave him 2 plumbers phone numbers to call so they could set the ABS prior to setting the forms and rebar. This was where the 2nd red flag was, he said he always sets his forms and rebar then the plumber comes in after. If anyone has done new construction before they know the plumbing goes in 1st then the rebar. How could you possibly put plumbing pipes in if there is rebar in the way. So I arranged for a plumber to show up and let Evan know but he never showed up and this was the 3rd red flag. I reached out to him because of the lack of communication with him and 7 days had gone by for him to meet me on the job site to go over the entire scope of work and for him to have a COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING. After a difficult hour of him not understanding much but then he finally got it, we came to a finalized agreement. I even increased the invoice amount $3000 more. He had $8500 at this point which far exceeded his 1st phase invoice quote amount. He said he needed $4000 more and thank God I only sent $2500. He was asking for $10,000 more but I felt this was a very bad idea since I was already frustrated with him, and he constantly argued about a job he didn't seem to understand. I explained I was very upset with him for now showing up for a week and was wanting to contact the contractor state license board and police for fraud. Because he had shown up and finally understood my expectations, I felt we were on the same page and even took him to lunch. His real intentions were to rip me off for more money. I sent $2500 deposit for materials knowing the cost for forms and rebar would not exceed this amount. Two days later at 7:36am he claims he injures himself and sends me a picture of his hand supposedly cut, but it looked like a gauze pad with ketchup. I showed up to the property and not one form was set nor was there a 2x4 on the property. I asked my neighbors and a tenant that lives there if he was there and they all said NO, even asked the neighbor to pull his video footage, nothing. He texted me that since he injured himself, and that if I went after him legally or wrote any reviews, HE WOULD SUE ME SINCE HE IS NOT LICENSED. HE ALSO SENT THREATENING TEXT MESSAGES TO HURT ME SINCE HE KNOWS WHERE I LIVE AND THAT HIS FAMILY IS WITH THE HELLS ANGES AND THEY WILL DEAL WITH ME THE OLD FASHION WAY. I warn anyone out there this guy is not all there and is as crooked as they come. I have tried to ask for the deposits back but all I got was more threats and gas lighting tactics from him to deflect his wrongdoing. I’m out about $11,000 and only got about $5000 worth of work, to compromise I asked for $5000 back and instead he threatens to make a frivolous injury claim on property or have me killed or beaten up. Photos are attached to prove this an honest review, with his invoice, threatening text messages, and phase 1 was never completed. Invoice says he has insurance, and he is trying to scare tactic as the homeowner to avoid reimbursing me the deposits. This guy is a thief and does not know how to do legitimate business

Evan is industrious, very knowledgeable, skilled in his craft, and a Great person to interact with!

Evan offered the most fair price over the other three estimates. Evan showed up on time and performed the task at hand as promised. Evan has an easy going personality and I would refer his services to my best friend.

Evan did a great job. Was fast and efficient. Our concrete patio looks great and we're so excited to have the space to spend our summer outside on.

Evan did a great job and very reliable and professional.

I recommend using Hall Concrete construction for your concrete projects. Hall concrete construction just completed a small residential patio removal and replacement (165 sf). The end result looks great. I solicited 3 cost proposals and Hall was in the middle. I went with Hall because if the expertise demonstrated during the pre-proposal site visit. Hall provided a thorough scope of work, showed up in time on all occasions, was organized, professional, and provided follow-up conversations to make sure I was happy with the work.

Evan did an excellent job! The color of the concrete matches the color of the rest of the driveway. Evan completed the job in a timely manner, and followed through to see if I had any questions or concerns. The cost of the job was very fair. I highly recommend Evan for any driveway jobs you may have!

Prompt scheduling and work completion. Great quality of the new driveway.

Went very well.Evan was very nice and was very professional. Very good communication would definitely hire again..

The job was done performed in a professional and timely manner. He made sure the area was cleaned and ensured my father was happy with the job. My dad was very pleased.

Evan did a fantastic job. He has so much experience and genuine vision that the process and the end product was absolutely first class. I don’t usually write reviews for folks, but I decided to make an exception in Evan’s case because he did such an outstanding job. His planning and execution were on point, his quality excellent and his pricing is very competitive.

It went great! He was able to fit me in the next week and had it done in a few days. I’m going to call him back again

Evan communicated each step of the project and stayed with his schedule. He was respectful of me and my neighbors as he worked. The finished concrete looked better than I had hoped. I’ve recommended him to a neighbor already.

Great look nice an the crew was outstanding an everthing completex kn scheudle

Hall’s Concrete was willing to do a job that was “too small” for everyone else, and they did it with expertise and style!

We had them come over to pour a small patch to match two other sections of concrete that of been put in over the years. Hall’s concrete came in as the lowest bid, and responsive with all communication. The work product was top notch - everything matches. He also walked me through some solutions not related to his pour. Very friendly and good customer service!

Evan is a good friend, we always use him and his guys if we ever need work done. He helped us pour concrete on our driveway even after moving to a different house. I would definitely recommend him and his crew.

Project was done in a timeframe it was supposed to be done. Quality of work was outstanding. Highly recommend Hills concrete for your next project.

Work with Evan was great… Great ideas and knows what he’s doing … Would highly recommend him

100% satisfied!
