Exceptional job

Dave was very professional and did some of the labor himself. He seemed to enjoy working with the equipment. He was careful to not touch any of the nearby shrubbery. The stamped concrete ribbons look very good and add a lot to the driveway. I was home during the project and made some suggestions as it progressed. Dave was receptive to my ideas and made changes as needed. The workers were professional and made sure that they prepared the grounds for the landscaping that we would be doing afterward. I was surprised that the sealing of the driveway and ribbons were included in the price. His price was a few thousand dollars less than two other quotes we had gotten, and the workmanship was very good. Update April 2012: Unfortunately, our beautiful driveway began to crack in two different places within six months of the installation. One crack extends 3/4 of the way up the drive. It is starting to widen. The other crack is beginning to widen also. It's like looking at a georgeous vase with a crack down the side. The contract stipulates that cracks are not covered under the warranty. I believe the reason it cracked was due to not having any steel mesh reinforcement and a concrete thickness of 3 inches instead of 4. Other proposals, which cost more, included the steel reinforcement and 4" thick driveway. Apparently there is a reason why Dave's prices are so much cheaper. When I asked Dave about the reinforcement, he told me that the concrete companies put fibers in the concrete mix and they told him that the fibers acted as reinforcement. I accepted that, but apparently it isn't true. Dave is honest and the workmanship is good, but the bids are lower because the quality of materials is lower, IMHO. Dave did come by to look at the cracks and told us they probably wouldn't get any bigger and sealing the concrete would help. Meanwhile, they get wider as time goes by.

I would not recommend this company. While they didn't do our final work I was convinced I wasn't going to use this company before he even finished quoting the work. Besides being over priced, I found him to be rude and arrogant. Even before he saw the entire job site he was complaining about the property. Since I am not a concrete expert I was asking him for suggestions on placement, size, shape, etc ....... He basically was useless for design suggestions. The final contractor we used came in with a cost at well over 50% less than this guy did and we love what we paid for. Do not use Dave's Concrete if you value what you spend your money on.

Excellent experience. Dave did the estimating himself. He is very pleasant to deal with. He did all he said he would do and the workmanship and cleanliness was excellent.

Very satisfied with the overall work. Concrete looks great! I would definitely use this company again and I would highly recommend to others.

The job turned out real nice.
