Description of Work: Tony was aggressive,foul mouthed,and unprofessional. The work done is a major disappointment. There were obvious flaws in the forms as they were set up and when questioned Tony threw a shovel and used foul language to the home owner. When trying to achieve a curved walkway He used 2x4’s which obviously don’t bend. He had bendable forms used in other areas of the job but did not have enough to complete the most significant curve of the job. We are sick every time we walk the walkway to our front doors, The most frustrating part is that we pointed it out BEFORE he poured the cement but he threw a shovel and again used foul language. Being the only female home at the time I backed off. I am sure he wouldn’t have used that language and aggressive behavior if the circumstances were different. Before he was hired we asked how long he had his crew..”we’ve been together 30 years” Three days into the job we discover that two of the men on the job were college kids that never poured a driveway before and the third laborer was a guy Tony picked up on the side of the road because he had run out of gas, Luckily that laborer did have experience and came to work early several days to fix Tony’s errors. We appreciate him. Once Tony was aware we was casually chit chatting with his workers they were told not to speak to us! Three days into the job I was told that he did not appreciate being” bird-dogged”. Apparently he did not like the homeowner overseeing the significant job that he was doing. Understandably now because of the plethora of mistakes that were being made left and right. He literally said he would walk off the job if we stood outside and over saw what he was doing. The questions that we asked and the concerns we had asked to be corrected are in our driveway to this day. Our patio. One side you get a nose bleed the other you feel you are falling off a cliff...again...concerns we had before the cement was poured to the extent we put a level on it and were told “he was not to be questioned” The broom strokes go every which direction… The garage looks like somebody spilled paint all over it… We could go on and on ...I am sure he would be good for a Giant Eagle parking lot where no one is looking over his shoulder or expecting A+ work. He is D- As a homeowner this is not your guy. This was the most unpleasant horrible unprofessional experience we have ever encountered. We have had electricians, landscapers, bricklayers all hired to repair the damage Tony caused at significant cost to us. They all were horrified at the damage and mess . I also want to mention that his disrespect to persons, our property, our neighbors property, and the common property in the cul-de-sac were deplorable. He was told repeatedly not to pull his dump truck on to our neighbors driveway and when he thought we were not at home he did just that. We caught him and again he responded with foul language. We will be responsible for the damage cost to our neighbors driveway. Luckily it was on camera so there is no disputing this. Imagine! Tony not understanding that he can’t use our neighbors property to perform work on our property! He seemed dumbfounded by this… We also were responsible to clean up the cul-de-sac that he dumped refuse and cement chunks etc.… It took weeks to clean up the street in front of our house from the mess he left. I have plenty of pictures and would be happy to walk anybody through the job so they can see for themselves before considering hiring Toni Nero Cement

Never answered my request for a quote. This company is not the only one. Out of the 10 companies I contacted only one responded. Maybe my job is too small - but a response would have been nice. You never know if it would have lead to a bigger job and more work.

Tony had a lot of good ideas and developed a better proposal than my original plan. He colored the concrete to compliment the existing stamped patio. In the end he poured a wider walk than we originally agreed upon for the same cost to my delight. He cleaned up the mess and hauled away the dirt. I will hire him again. He has been around many years and has a good reputation. Thanks Tony.

Wonderful. Tony and crew are true professional's I could tell right away, Tony knew what he was d***, and his finish product speaks for itself. In 2010 we had a big triple car drive replaced by Tony and almost 4 years later it still get positive comments from friends & neighbors, (Looks like new almost four years later, ) So last month I recommended Tony to my cousin that just bought a little bungalow that needed a wing added on to give him more room to park in his back yard.
Description of Work: added a wing-lane on driveway of cousins house this month , As well as totally replaced a triple car driveway in June 2010

We were running into issues with the weather changing, so he and his crew worked on a Saturday and Sunday to get the job done. This was really appreciated. | |He will be coming back in the spring with our General Contractor to add fill dirt and topsoil to finish the grading needed in the back yard and connect the downspouts to the storm water sewer once the walls and roof are up. There was a bit of a cost overrun due to additional soil and drain work necessary per the city.
Description of Work: Tony and his crew constructed a 25' x 25' foundation crawl space for a room addition we will be finishing in the spring. He also had to relocate several French drains in the back yard and re-grade the land to redirect runoff into the relocated drains and keep the water away from the house and addition. | |

The whole experience was easier than I thought it would be because we have a dog and 1/3 of the driveway is behind the gate. Tony and his crew worked tirelessly removing the old concrete and spreading the base and tamping it down; that took a whole day because of it needing a base that they didn't put in many years ago; then another half day to frame it all and get ready for the pour. The next day it rained, so the pour had to wait until the weekend was over. Monday the weather was perfect and it was amazing watching Tony and his crew pour it, spread it and then do the artistic finishing. They were amazing to watch and the finished product is just beautiful. We were able to walk on it that night and told we could park on it five days later. I would recommend Tony Nero Cement and Construction, Inc. to everyone. They were all hard working, neat, very nice and very helpful when I needed to figure how to take my dog out and over the new front sidewalk. It was a great experience and a beautiful finished project!!
Description of Work: Old concrete driveway (50 some years old) and sidewalk to front porch was removed, base added, tamped down, concrete poured and artistically finished and sealed.

Tony and his crew were professional, hard workers, with attention to detail. They came when they were scheduled, worked hard, finished as promised and cleaned up after themselves. We get so many compliments on our patio, and I have to say this was the best investment we ever made to improve our house!! Everything looked so good that we had to buy a new gas grill because the patio looked so awesome and we wanted everything to look perfect to match the great job that Tony and his crew did!
Description of Work: We finally decided to get a stamped/colored patio, a pad for a storage shed and cement sidewalk around our garage. We got 3 estimates and chose Tony Nero Cement because his price was right, he had almost 30 years of experience and he came highly recommended from friends and relatives.

Tony did quality concrete work on our driveway several years ago. We needed the stairs repaired and some tuckwork done. Tony gave us a rough estimate for both jobs. He also gave us a rough estimate on the price of the sandstone top. His crew came out on a Monday and demolished the steps, then disappeared for a week. We had to leave messages to contact him. We understand that contractors juggle jobs, but this was unsightly and dangerous. His mason, Jason Savransky matched the old brickwork very well. The crew did nice work, but they left bits of concrete and dust everywhere each day they were working. Jason said he would be back next week to clean the concrete off the brickwork. He did not and the brick is still smeared with concrete.
Description of Work: Demolished old cracked steps, installed new brick around old footer and installed a new sandstone top.

We commissioned Tony Nero because he did quality work on our concrete driveway for a fair price several years ago. He gave us an estimate on price and schedule. We agreed, understanding that the degree of leveling may require more material. We called him several times to nail down a date, which was maybe next week. We waited several weeks. Finally, we had a date. His crew arrived, but Tony had some personal issues to deal with and was unable to supervise until later in the day. The floor was fairly level and needed only slight adjustment for the flooring. The finish was rough and made it difficult to live with until the floor was able to be installed. The edges were very rough.
Description of Work: Poured leveling concrete over slab foundation in preparation for flooring installation. The foundation was not cracked or damaged, but did have very low spots.
