Howard Carter Concrete LLC

Fantastic could not have been better

Over time our driveway has taken a server turn for the worse. Light patches in the shape of squares, dark patches and inconsistencies in many spots. His attitude is that is not his problem. We paid over $12,0000 for the original job. I no longer recommend Howard since the quality of work did not last and no solutions nor follow-up offered. Pictures are avilable upon request.

I'm surprised this guy is still in business.

I was very impressed with Howard and his team. The were very professional and courteous during the entire process. Howard was very flexible working with me and even performing the working while i was away traveling. The service and product they provide was top notch. I will definitely use them again if i need any concrete work done and recommend to my friends.

Howard came out and and gave me a bid of what it would cost and a timeframe of when he could do the job. His bid was fair and his timing was right on. This was a well done job, Howard does excellent work. I was amazed to actually see the contractor (Howard) work harder than the crew. He is not one that stops by and gives orders and then leaves. He was on the site the entire time while the job was being done. He and his crew were very professional and friendly. I would recommend Howard Carter to anyone that needs concrete work done.

Mr. Carter came highly recommended and is one of Angie's List top contractors. It was very easy to see why he has earned that rating. First of all, he was patient with me and I really appreciated that. His attention to detail in preparation and completion is top rate. I would, and will, use him again in the future. He is the type of person that you can trust to do a good job. The only glitch in the whole process was Mother Nature and we had no control over that. In spite of that, Howard removed some concrete he had poured and replaced it after the rain made it unworkable. Cannot say enough nice things about he and his crew. UPDATE!!! After about 7 or 8 months I noticed the surface was scaling off. This is precisely why I had the old drive replaced. I asked Mr. Carter before the job what would happen if this situation occurred. His reply, "You call me and I come fix it!" I did call him in about April telling him of the problem. It was apparently caused by salt from our vehicles. His response was, "I had this problem with 2 or three jobs I think the concrete was bad. I will, at no cost to you, come pressure wash and apply sealer". I declined! His claim of Warranty is "Satisfaction" and that did not satisfy me. He's happy - he got his money. The concrete guy is happy - he got his money. I am left with a crappy looking job. Mr. Carter was to call me back in week after he checked his schedule. It's been about 6 months of weeks and no response. Be careful!!

Howard is very competent, thoughtful, and courteous. Would definitely recommend him to my friends. I believe our newspaper is about to do a review of driveway contractors, as a reporter was at our place atleast twice, interviewing Howard and photographing his work.

Howard Carter was recommended initially to us by a friend. We also contacted several concrete companies asking for recommendations and his name kept coming up, so we called Howard and he came over to look at the job, I think that was just after the first of the year. We have quite a large driveway, 28 yrs old, and were interested in a new aggregate concrete surface. This is a big project for any homeowner, and expensive so we wanted to get the best. He was very professional, detail oriented and gave us his estimate. We also had gotten several other estimates and his was right in line. We decided to go with Howard because of his knowledge and also after looking at several other jobs he and done. He started the job on May 20th and it took about a week. We have a very long driveway so it was a major job. We are extremely pleased and can't say enough about the quality of his work and that of his entire crew. Throughout the entire job they were professional, courteous, and respectful of our property. Their men even helped me carry in groceries from my car since I had to park at a neighbors....nice guys!! We would recommend Howard Carter and his crew very highly. If there was a Howard Carter fan club, which there may be, we would definitely be members!!

Howard was able to start the project while I was out of town--lessened my wait time to drive on it. Crew was very nice and they did a great cleanup job. Driveway looks great!

Mr. Watts and his crew were prompt, professional, and did exactly what I asked. They dug trenches to route french drains that run under the concrete, which I provided the material for. They poured two curbs, one curved, a driveway extension, and a decorative patio that was tinted and stamped. This work was done two years ago and the work is still holding up fine, looks new still as a matter of fact. They were a bit expensive but they did a great job and I don't mind paying a little more for good work. Mr. Watts was always prompt and reachable by phone for any questions or concerns I had.

He was very nice, he did a perfect job and the price was very reasonable.

great crew. very satisfied. Went so well that at least one neighbor contacted him to do their driveway.

Everything turned out fine, and I am very satisfied.

Might use contractor in the future - if they follow up. Left message on Jun 28 to request quote on small concrete job. No one returned the call.

He was great. He is coming back next month. Good crew, I'm very happy with the job. He is one of the best.

we decided to delay our project

The concrete quality is great. Howard and crew did a wonderful job and were a pleasure to work with. We are very happy with the completed job and look forward to have Howard work for us with future projects.

Howard is a super nice guy and he and his crew did a wonderful job. He contacted us very promptly after we contacted him for a quote. He came to our home and provided my husband with a couple of options. Once we decided what we wanted to do, we called him back and he immediately gave us a start date. We had some weather issues and Howard and his crew worked around them. They cleaned up the area after they were finished and we are very pleased with the way it turned out. A neighbor was walking by last night and asked about our project and I happily gave him Howard's name and number. I whole heartedly give Howard Carter an A review.

He was involved in pouring the original patio several years ago when we remodeled our home. We wanted to extend it by three feet around the edges. He came out to make an estimate, which was reasonable. He arrived with several helpers to start work several days after I hired him on the phone. They did careful work and finished it promptly over several days. They sealed and cleaned up at the end and were generally neat on the job. Mr. Carter was a pleasure to work with.

Came out and looked at my drawing for the patio. Quoted. We made some changes to our size and design. Howard was helpful in recommendations to the changes and was reasonable for the additional cost. Scheduled a few weeks later. Came in with his crew, introduced all, told me how they would progress, and started the job. I paid 10% after the first day. After the first day, the driveway was already dug up and the patio excavation was started as well. Didn't have any setbacks. They came everyday and did something and cleaned up every day within reason. We weren't in a hurry and were leaving on vacation the day after they finished. He gladly left his pylons and tape to block the driveway from being used. (7 day cure time before parking on it). He asked if he could display his HOWARD CONCRETE sign in our yard, and we were happy to do so. We will be scheduling our walkways to be done in the spring. Howard was a joy to work with!

We solicited bids from 6 contractors to tear out and replace our driveway. My husband forgot that my one condition was that the contractor had to be insured. That narrowed it down to Howard Carter Concrete and two other contractors. Mr. Carter's quote was right in the middle, his rating at BBB was excellent and we had a friend who worked for this company. Mr. Carter met with us back in June of 2012, took the measurements, was very helpful in explaining the process and answering my many questions. I am one of those people who likes to research ANY project just so that I know what kinds of questions to ask. He produced his quote within a couple of days and we agreed to the job. He advised us that his schedule and upcoming vacation would put us around the first of July to start the job. After a few games of "telephone tag" and weather conditions preventing him from starting earlier in the month of July, he called and told us he would be starting our job on Monday, July 30th. He and his crew (2 other men) started the job that morning, as scheduled. They left the job site clean at the end of each day. I found Mr. Carter and his men polite, pleasant and very focused on the job at hand. He had hoped that he might be finished by the end of day two, but apparently he is a perfectionist (which I greatly appreciate), and needed to wrap up the job on day three. He added a border to the sides of the driveway, and sealed it. Our neighbors enjoyed watching the process so much that a couple of others asked him to stop by to give them a quote. We have a great looking new driveway and are thinking of hiring him again to replace our front porch and steps!

He is great and does a great job. The quality of his concrete and his team is great. The team know what they are doing. They were prompt. The estimate was detailed. I knew exactly what was going to happen. The owner Howard works just as hard as anyone. I could tell that they measured before they came out. The way they preformed their job I knew they knew what they were doing.

I called Howard from Angie's list. He came over within a reasonable time (one week). Provided me with an estimate within a few days. I continued to check with other vendors, but could find no one more desirable. I called Howard to accept his estimate. We scheduled the work. He came when scheduled, performed the work professionally, I promptly paid when the job was finished. This was a very good experience, and I would return to Howard if needed. Good luck!

Mr. Carter's operation was so well organizer that it all went perfecxtly. In 6he seventeen years that I have lived here he is by far the best contractor tthat I have had.

I didn't use him. He seemed fine. He was polite. I didn't like that he didn't really want to give me exactly what I wanted. I went with someone else because I had seen his work in my neighborhood.
