Business highlights
39 years of trusted experience
Services we offer
Driveway Replacement and Driveway Repairs, we also offer additional flat work services including patios, sidewalks, and parking pads, but generally only in addition to driveway work and not independent unless the project is large enough to merit a trip.
We had numerous contractors look at the issues we had with improper drainage and major cracks in our concrete in order to give their recommendations and solutions. Eric Bolay with Barbare's was the one with the correct solution. Our driveway and sidewalk were not sloped properly. Eric and his crew removed our damaged and severely cracked carport pad and driveway and poured a new drive, carport pad and sidewalk with the perfect slight slope so that the water now runs to a small catch basin. Since the job was done on 3/6/19, we have had heavy rain so are very happy that the work Barbare's did corrected the issue exactly as we needed it to. In addition, we liked the company so much that we decided to have an additional area poured as a parking pad. Eric and all of the crew were here on time and worked efficiently, professionally and cleaned up the area after completion. In two days we had all of the 6" old concrete carport pad, driveway and sidewalk removed, forms placed and new concrete poured the second day. Each person knew their role and worked tirelessly and cohesively, and did an excellent job! We are very pleased to say the least. Eric is the most knowledgeable, professional and punctual person we have dealt with. He goes the extra mile and his objective is quality work and customer satisfaction. It is refreshing to deal with someone that truly knows the business, meets the customer's needs and provides an excellent end result.
Description of Work: Our carport, driveway and sidewalk were in need of replacement due to major cracks (50 year old concrete) as well as a major drainage problem we have dealt with for many years. When it rained, the water was flowing into our carport area, as far as into our utility room and the soil was washing over our sidewalk.

I can't say enough good things about Ron Barbare and his company. He is prompt, responsive and takes the time to not only give you a complete estimate on what you requested, but also give you alternates. Their work was complete and the driveway looks wonderful! They showed up when they said they would, did the work and cleaned up completely afterward. I will definitely be using them if we need this type of service again and would recommend them with no hesitation.
Description of Work: Replacement of an old, crumbling driveway.
Contacted two other Concrete companies but only heard back from one whose price was much higher than Barbare’s. Was very pleased with his work and he widened an area from the carport to the driveway at a minimum cost. We also had some tree roots in the front yard which he dug up at no additional cost. Could not have been more pleased with his work and crew. Was on time as promised and completed the driveway according to the contract. Was exceptionally pleased and would highly recommend R. J. Barbare’s Concrete Company.

These guys do quality work and show up when promised. The did have to schedule me 4-6 weeks out however made a point to call me in that window to let me know that I was still on the schedule. They leveled out the skid steer tracks and leveled everything out with some fill dirt. All I had to do was throw some grass seed down to finish it up. I would definitely recommend them again.
Description of Work: We had a concrete patio poured in the back of our house and a portion of our walkway replaced. The patio required excavation to bring it to an acceptable level with the deck and runoff from the back of the house.

Punctual and professional. Debris was hauled away, site cleaned up afterwards. Driveway and sidewalk look fantastic! The quality and workmanship are apparent. Beforehand, Mr. Barbare drove us around the neighborhood to view other projects his company did. We also asked a few neighbors with recent driveway replacement for referrals. Barbare Concrete got high reviews, and deservedly so.

Barbares' price and scheduling were competitive and we are extremely pleased with the quality of work and product his company and crew provided. Every time we pull into our driveway or walk out to get the mail, we know we made the right decision. Others in the neighborhood had used and recommended Barbares, and we were able to see some of his previous jobs.
Description of Work: We had a few concrete companies come out to give us estimates on replacing cracked and/or failing sections of our driveway and sidewalk, or doing the complete demolition, haul-away and pouring/finishing.

They did an excellent job. They came as scheduled, were careful with the surrounding stonework and vegetation, and completed the job on time. The driveway is much improved both structurally and aesthetically. I was very impressed when Mr. Barbares came to give an estimate for the job. He gave two estimates, since he thought that he could "save" a section of the driveway, and advised our taking the lower estimate.

WONDERFUL!!!!!!! Their work is outstanding. I can't say enough. He was wonderful to work with he listened to our needs and then explained how best to do the work. We had place where others wanted to put in french drain to take care of water to keep it from going in the garage, which is on an incline, which made the cost even more,. But he looked at the slope of the land and everything and figured out how to grade the driveway leading to the garage so that the water would flow across the drive and around the house into the existing drainage system. It is a huge amount of concrete work he told us at the time it was the largest residential one they had done. The driveway looked beautiful when they finished and still does. There are finishing touches such as sidewalk has the picture frame finish which adds a very nice touch to the finished product. We could not be happier with the work that was done. (I waited to do my review. I learned the hard way not to do it too quickly. Then I thought I waited too long, but I was looking at the work today and I need to give a review for this great work.) Thank you
Description of Work: We had a very large and long driveway. The old driveway needed to be taken up and then re-poured and extended. Also the sidewalk was redone

They were excellent! Since this was a smaller job, they had said they would try to catch it when they had a lull in or break between larger jobs. They called the day before to ask if we were available Monday, April 18; and we said absolutely. They arrived on time, worked well as a team, and the job was done and cleaned up by mid-afternoon. My brother, who used to build homes, was visiting and said they did a really good job.
Description of Work: A large section of our patio and part of the connecting sidewalk had bulked and popped last winter. They cleared it out and poured concrete to complete the job.

Mr Barbares gave me a date to do the work at about 4 to 6 weeks. He contacted me at about 4 weeks saying that they could get to me in 2 days. The crew showed up at 8am and went to work breaking up the old slab. That was completed by 11:30am with all of the old concrete removed from the site. The truck with the new concrete showed up by noon and the new concrete was move up my driveway using a front-end loader and poured into the forms. They completed the surface brushing and grooving by about 4:30 and cleaned up the work site. They were gone before 5:00pm. All very professional..
Description of Work: The section of my driveway adjacent to my house had broken into several pieces and settled next to my house channeling rain water directly to my house causing water to run into my crawl space. They removed the broken up section of my driveway and poured a new slab contoured to keep runoff water away from the house. Awesome job!

Provider talked me through what was occurring. I even emailed him pictures and everything. He said repairs werent needed and gave me tips on how deal with the area in question. I really appreciated his honesty and the way he talked me through what was happening so I could understand it. He said it could be fixed with working on the landscaping and filling in the small hole that was there. The hole was only from settlement of the dirt underneath. He could have fleeced me. It's nice to find honest good people out there. If I ever truly need concrete work, you can bet I will use him.

Dealt with owner Ron Barbare who was professional and kind and gave me an estimate that I felt was fair. He doesn't normally take jobs this small but was willing to try to work me in his schedule. My driveway is 22 yrs. old and has lots of hairline cracks and other more significant cracks and chunks of concrete uprooted by trees. I had the trees cut down last fall. Ron proposed fixing just the ones that were really bad and would definitely get worse. He could have suggested doing a lot more repairs than were necessary at this time but he didn't and I really respect him for that. He had four guys come out to do the work and they worked extremely hard nonstop for six hours to do the repairs and and cleanup afterwards. The repairs turned out great and I am very pleased. It was a pleasure working with this company and I would definitely use them again for future needs.
Description of Work: Cut/replaced 2 large sections and spot fixed 3 other small areas on concrete driveway.

Took awhile from estimate to get the job started as they were busy--but that is a good sign, I suppose. Job went quickly once started and they did a good job tearing up the old driveway without damaging surrounding areas or the existing drive that was not being replaced. New drive is perfect and matches up exactly to the existing areas.

Arrived at 8am as promised. had a crew of 5. Tree root was actually under small section of asphalt. Cut back asphalt and extracted root system. You could tell that crew was experienced. Will return in next two days to remove frame and will be able to drive over section in 4 days Workers and foreman worked very well together. We have a long driveway with a sharp turn. They used a Bob Cat to pry up concrete and remove it. They were extremely careful not to damage asphalt adjacent to new concrete area.
