Classic Concrete

patio and walkway stamped concrete

It went very well. I thought I was going to be in for a huge project (and a huge bill), but after looking at the work that needed to be done, he counseled me on just doing a repair, rather than a big and more costly replacement. I'm very happy with them.

Tony C. came over and took a number of measurements & photos, drew up a rough plan and went over our material and finish choices, which we had studied previously on-line and on Classic's website. The proposal/estimate cost $125 the day of the service (which we had agreed to in advance), and was well worth the expense. Had we gone ahead with the project, the fee would have been deducted from the project cost. Ultimately, we decided to hold off on this project for now - doing it with the material and finish we want turned out to be quite a bit more expensive than we had imagined. But we will certainly have Tony bid on the project when/if we do decide to go ahead. He was very professional in his dealing with us from the moment we first connected over the phone.

Did a good job. Cost was competitive. I would definitely use this company again in the future.

We are pleased with the outcome and recommended Classic Concrete to our neighbors.

Tony is an impressive gentlemen. From start to finish, the attention to detail, keeping the customer well informed on the all updates and steps. He gave proper attention to all the details I wanted to discuss, (which were quite a lot), listened to each an everyone of them and gave his honest opinion. I liked the fact, that he was always ready to listen to the concerns and then come out with a plan.. I would recommend Tony and his team to anyone, looking for a quality craftsman, who can perform exceptional custom work.

Tony is very thorough and keeps you informed each step of the way. He is a craftsman and an artist. It took a dozen phone calls to find a good company to do this job for a reasonable price. Tony charged us $100 for an estimate which was credited when we hired him to do the job.

Tony provides an excellent product. He is responsive and punctual. His work was done on schedule and the final product was excellent.

Assumed he was busy on larger commercial jobs. Should just say so.

Tony is a pleasure to work with -- knowledgeable, forthcoming with information and details, and overall just a nice guy. His initial bid was lower than others', and he still came in lower after an unexpected additional $750 was added on, since he needed to dig out more topsoil than we originally thought. The final product looks beautiful.

I can't speak highly enough about Tony. We have not gone ahead with the project yet due to the price because we did not budget enough money for the project. He was pretty thorough about outlining the scope of the work and the timeline. He was pretty thorough about what needed to take place and where the money would be going towards each part of the project. Tony did not provide us with a drawing, but he said he would if we went further. However, at that point it was just an estimate so we stopped there. The quoted price was $6,500. The price was pretty much right on target with everybody else. If we go ahead with the project I would go with him out of all the people we talked with.

I needed to get my pool deck sealed. I was having trouble even getting a call back from a couple of local places including one I used in the past. I sent Tony a message via Angies list and he called me within the hour. He stopped by a couple of nights later and I gave him a deposit. The wet weather was making it hard to find a good day to do the job, and he ended up coming out and doing it on a Sunday (Father's Day!) which I really appreciated.

Tony Cacela is a consummate craftsmen, which we knew when we hired him. He approaches each step of the job like an artist. Two years ago we had our first outstanding experience with Tony when he installed our stamped concrete walkways. Both times, we always felt that Tony advised us in our best interest, always doing the best work at the most reasonable price. Both he and his fellow carpenter, John, conducted themselves like complete gentlemen during the entire project, and always cleaned up immaculately each day. I would rehire Tony Cacela in a heartbeat.

Did not show on the committed time frame.

We have been renovating our backyard this year in anticipation of a party for my mother-in-law's 85th birthday for the first week of August. We had a new wood deck installed and wanted to have some hardscaped patio areas just off deck. We considered both paver and concrete. We decided to go with stamped concrete and called Tony Cocela with Classic Concrete. I will first note that I called Tony and left a message and he was very diligent in calling me back - We met and he was very professional and detailed about the services he could provide - He showed us photos of previous work and offered referrals to check if we desired. On the first day there he gave me a rough estimate of costs which was very competitive with other bids from contractors for only a plain brushed finish and not stamped as Tony would do. When he came back to finalize the bid, he again was prompt and very organized and made sure we understood exactly the services and work he would provide. His professional demeanor and diligence carried over to the job. I must say that he and his crew worked all day during some of the hottest days this summer. Despite our concerns about our deadline, he came through as promised and finished the job in about a week. A real bonus was that he kept the job site spic and span, not leaving any stray debris - although we are past the kids and pets stage, I could see where that would matter to many customers. I know I may sound like a "cheerleader" here, but having had many disappointments over the years with contractors, it is very refreshing to find a fellow that does what he promises and on time, too!

Very well. Based on his advice as the feasibility and cost of what I had in mind, I decided to go a different way, but I truly appreciated his willingness to give me an honest assessment and good advice.

Our new stamped concrete walkways at the front and side of our house have brought well-deserved compliments from neighbors and even passersby. We love the way they look and feel under our feet. The jumbo stone pattern we chose truly reminds us of the natural look and feel of mountain ledges, especially with the beautiful "dash of color" Tony added as the final step. Without a doubt, the new walkways have enormously improved the curb appeal of our home! We not only appreciate the final product, but also the high degree of integrity and professionalism that Tony and his crew demonstrated. During the entire project Tony's crew went to great lengths to protect our driveway surface, gardens, and lawn areas. And they were all perfect gentlemen from start to finish. I hoped to hire someone who is both highly skilled and takes pride in doing a superb job, and Tony fit this description perfectly. I would rehire Tony in a heartbeat.

Tony from Classic Concrete was professional and knowledgeable and gave us excellent advice in our planning process. We were surprised by how quickly our walkway and wall were demolished and installed, and the work is beautiful. The walk is beautiful and everyone who comes over remarks on how great it looks and how well it complements the existing brickwork on the front of our house. We'd definitely hire Classic Concrete again (though I doubt we'll need to!) and I'd recommend this company to family and neighbors alike.

Talking to Tony after the posted review he sent the money back. Thanks

This project went extremely well. Tony is a true craftsman. He kept us informed about the progress and answered every question. Tony was onsite and working with his team every day. I highly recommend Classic Concrete and we couldn't be happier with our new expanded patio. I already have another project in mind for next fall for Tony to do.
