Description of Work: I called this masonry contractor to give me an estimate for replacement of a retaining wall & driveway slab at my house. I sent PDF's of the completed & stamped & approved by the building dept. engineering drawings by email. When he came out to look at the wall he said he had not look at the engineering drawings. He took a look at my wall & slab, which is next to my house, & said he wouldn't even consider doing the construction because of liability concerns regarding the house moving when the existing wall was removed.

Description of Work: Lee McCarley did the following projects for me: 1) 60 foot retaining wall (concrete block with stucco finish) 2) 3 separate areas of pavers 3) concrete slab walkway with drainage. During the course of the these projects Lee had several challenges (including RPV city inspectors). Lee and his crew did an exceptional job. The quality and workmanship was excellent. In several areas he exceeded my expectations! I seldom write reviews for Angie's List, but for Lee McCarley, I am pleased to do so. I highly recommend Lee McCarley

Description of Work: Scope of work: Tear down old patio cover and miss matched concrete pad (800 sq ft) and lay new concrete pad (1000 sq ft) in preparation for new patio cover. Estimates: Got 3 estimates. The first one was from a patio cover company. They gave me an estimate ($11,000), which seemed way over priced. They said they sub it out, which immediately turned me off. The next estimate was from a company based out of OC and seemed more reasonably priced ($8,000). They recommended I go with 3k PSI concrete, which is stronger and because I was going to reinstall a patio cover. They estimated the job would take about a week. The final company was McCarley Concrete. I emailed my request for bid and got a reply with in 24 hours. Lee (owner) gave me an initial quote of ($7300) also with 3k PSI concrete. After I got the estimate, I told him I was an Angie's List member and he immediately took off $500, making the estimate $6800. Lee said he could finish in 5 days. I went with McCarley Concrete because their estimate was fair, correspondences were timely, local to my home, positive Angie's List reviews, and he could complete the job in only 5 days. Work: Day 1 - After scheduling and rescheduling (delay by one day due to rain) Lee and his crew (6 guys) showed up right on time at 7:30 am. We reviewed the job and within minutes they began demo'ing my patio. I left for work and came home for lunch to check on the job. To my surprise, they had the patio cover completely torn down and about 50 % of the concrete dug out. Lee came over and explained what they had done and what was left. By the end of day 1, they had torn down the patio cover, dug out 800 sq ft of concrete, and had it loaded on to a truck to haul away. Day 2-4 - Lee and his main worker laid rock and sand to level everything. They also laid the rebar and made forms for my step. During day 3 Lee found that one side of my concrete wall foundation was set high and the concrete would not lay properly. After discussing our options we decided to make a small step to hide the foundation for the wall. We agreed $200 for the additional work for the form and concrete. Day 5 & 6 - were Saturday and Sunday and they do not work on the weekends. Friday night he left me a message that the measurements I gave him only came out to 850 sq ft. I checked my measurements and my notes and found that the 2nd contractor had written the wrong #'s. We both felt at fault as he admitted he should have double checked. I felt bad and told him I would pay for the mistake (I estimated it to be about $1600 more). Lee ended up splitting the difference $800. However, I had a few questions, which I had emailed Lee on Saturday and to my surprise he said he would stop by later that morning. He and his wife stopped by after breakfast and he answered all my questions and said he would be out Monday morning to pour the concrete. This really impressed me as many people/companies would say we can talk on Monday or at their schedule, but Lee is not like that. He is genuine person who takes pride in his work and customers he services. Day 7 - The concrete was laid with no complications. Lee advised he would be by the following day to take off the forms,which he did.

Description of Work: McCarley Concrete demolished and replaced our back porch, and demolished and re-poured cracked areas of our back patio. Additionally, they built a 10 x 10 foot planter box/seating wall with built in lighting. Lee was very prompt and professional in creating a proposal for our work. We coordinated the concrete and masonry work around the replacement of our back french doors. The back porch had been poured improperly (by another contractor) when we did a 2003 addition to our home, so the porch had to be demolished before the french doors could be replaced. Lee coordinated the demolition work and then came back to re-pour everything.
