Hoffman Stamped Concrete LLC

I’m so happy with the job the guys did. I had to have two tree stumps ground out before the work could be done. The tree stump guys broke my fence gate, and turns out they left one stump in the ground which I couldn’t see under the mess they left. Jason and his crew were able to get the stump out, remove an old slate patio, and create a beautiful new extended patio for me. I had jokingly pointed out a pile of slate chips in my backyard that were an eyesore. When they finished up that day, I saw that Jason had pushed down the pile of chips so they are no longer visible from my yard, and they fixed my fence gate! Such nice guys, all of them. Thank you for my beautiful patio!

Very happy with the finished product. Communication could have been a little better and I would have appreciated a "tips" sheet when done that would have made suggestions for maintenance, sealing, snow removal (Salt vs Calcium), (recommended type of snow shovel), (is a snowblower Okay?) etc.

Came out beautiful. Arrived on time, got the job done on schedule.

I like them a lot, that's why I called them back for that second job. They are very professional and tell you exactly what they are going to do and when they needed to do it. The results are excellent. People have commented on what a good job they did.

Met with Jason Hoffman to obtain an estimate, he was professional and polite and the estimate was very competitive. There were some delays in having the work performed due to weather and a high work load for the company. Also, as a result of being busy, return phone calls were delayed but eventually we were able to get the job scheduled and completed. The patio came out great and is a big improvement over the old deck. Jason and his crew were punctual and professional. Will consider them for future concrete work.

Jason called me back within 24 hours to set the initial appointment to survey the work area. He came out to inspect the work to be done that very same week. He provided an estimate for the work and allowed time for my mother and I to review his photos to finalize a design pattern and color. He left an estimate with us and when we called him back the next day to hire him, he let us know the approximate month he would be able to start. So much is dependent upon the weather for these types of projects, but he was true to his word and called us when he was ready to start. He and his team pulled up the old patio pavers in the rain. When the weather cleared, he and his team were immediately back to set the forms, poor the concrete and stamp the pattern. Jason was always around to check on his team. The patio was done as promised with all the rain we have had. He even took time to carefully protect the plants surrounding the patio. My mother has Alzheimer's and he did a fabulous job assuring her and his workers never created any anxiety for her while they worked. Jason is also redoing my walkway and porch and I am sure his workmanship will be as wonderful as my mom's new patio!

I do recommend them. Jason Hoffman is the owner. They did a very good job. They were very friendly and very courteous. They did exactly what the job expected. Jason was very good. They were cheaper than most.

Went well overall. Talked with Jason Hoffman and he explained the procedure and gave me a written estimate. The guys arrived on the day and time arranged, they sealed the concrete, cleaned up and overall did a good job.

Tony and his crew arrived exactly when they said they would and started to put up the framing for the walkway and patio on day 1. It took them most of the morning to prepare the area for framing. They finished up for the day just after lunchtime. Day 2 they completed the framing. I think that they didn't move too quickly on getting the framing completed because they had scheduled the concrete for day 3. While they worked on the framing the foreman said that they would pour the concrete for the patio on day 3 and then do the walk on day 4. However on day 3 the foreman said they Tony was trying to cut corners and wanted to pour the whole thing in one day. He wasn't very happy and made it clear that he thought that it was a bad idea. Turns out he was right. The concrete truck showed up on time and started to pour what was supposed to be concrete but to me it looked more like wet sand and gravel. The load was very dry and was setting up very very quickly. This made it very hard for the workers to work the concrete. The concrete ended up drying quickly which caused problems when they went to stamp it. There was a portion of the patio that was in the shade that turned out very good. However, the portion of the patio that was in the sun didn't. The texture is nonexistent however there is color and you can see a pattern. Since the concrete was dry the stamp didn't penetrate and only left colored marks for the pattern. In addition there was a number of large cracks that appeared because of how hard they were hitting the stamp. They didn't even attempt to stamp the walk that day and said they'd have to put a skim coat on and stamp that on day 4. On day 4 there was rain in the air so they did some cleaning and did the cuts. On day 5 they put a bonding material down (said it was like glue) and then put a skim coat down. (I've talked to a few other concrete contractors about this and they all said it will come up in a year.) They colored and stamped the skim coat which looks very good now. On day 6 only 2 guys came by to put the sealer on and do clean up. The sealer was well done however clean up was another story. During the pour because the guys where moving so fast and trying to hurry the dumped a few (3) wheelbarrows of concrete in the yard. I am still puling pieces of concrete out of the grass and have a big piece of asphalt that they cut off the edge of the drive to meet up with the walkway laying in a pile. I expected clean up to be much better and to at least have the dirt around the edges racked out. I do like the way that it looks however as I stated above there is a large portion of the patio that doesn't have any texture and I am very concerned about the skim coat. After the job was completed Tony called asking for the second half of the payment which he said had increased by $600 due to the amount of concrete that was needed. In reality it was due to his error in doing a single pour instead of 2. Originally, it was to take 4 days for the job but because Tony was trying to cut cornered I have a sub par patio with potential future problems and it took 6 days.

95% was perfect and right on time. there ws a slight hiccup due to workers and weather, but communication was good and any concerns were rectified to our satisfaction. Owner follows up on workmens performance and customer satisfaction.

No hitches. Day 1- site work done and forms and rebar placed. Day 2 - concrete poured and finished. Day 3- sealed

They did a great job. I would use them again in the future if needed.

They were very good at returning phone calls and the crew was very polite and friendly. We had a little delay due to weather but that is not their fault. They had to wait for the weather because of the rain. Their pricing was similar to asphalt so it was competitive. Other than that I feel they did a very good job and will use them again in the future.
