Since 1971, Bruno Morelli, Morelli Concrete, LLC, has been a family owned business that proudly serves the North Hills of Pittsburgh, PA and surrounding areas. Pete, my son, has also been working with the business since his teens and is getting prepared for his eventual take-over of our business. We always stand behind our work, because we are experienced not only to do the job, but to do the job right. For most of our jobs, depending on the size, we DO NOT require a down payment. We can do this because we know that when we are finished our customers are completely satisfied with the job.
Pete and his crew initially started our project of concrete around the pool with retaining wall and patio concrete slab 9/2021. Few issues that arose no fault of Pete, was the slide dimension and walkway needed to clear the solar cover was inaccurate and not enough concrete was poured for both of them. That was the fault of the pool company for giving inaccurate measurements to Pete. Pete stated he would correct this problem and add more concrete so the slide could be anchored onto the concrete and add more concrete to allow a walkway on the side of the pool. Another issue that Pete was notified right away was the retaining wall was not high enough and runoff/rain water was flowing over the top of the retaining wall and through the retaining wall causing muddy water to encroach into the pool area. He initially stated that once landscaping was complete it would fix this. However that was not the case. He was again notified and he promised to raise the retaining wall to correct this problem, yet he never showed up and continued to ignore our calls. Third issue was the concrete lining the pool already started to crack off and was found at the bottom of the pool. Fourth issue was the top blocks of the retaining wall were damaged. Several portions of the retaining wall were carved into and did not appear to be brand new. He promised he would replace these with new. Yet, he never showed back up. Fifth issue, the concrete patio cracked within several months. Sixth issue, the additional concrete was never sealed and is also now cracked. To attempt to correct the the first issue, He staked the project out 10/12/21 completed around 10/25/21. His crew was using a stamp for the concrete and the stamp for the new concrete was off-centered causing the concrete to be noticeably abnormal. When he was notified of this eyesore, he actually stated he realized this mistake… didn’t feel the need to tell us though. He promised us he would correct this by removing the concrete and pouring new. He would tell us on a weekly basis that he was coming to correct this problem and then he would never show up. We would call him and text him and he wouldn’t answer or reply. We have all encounters documented for proof. December 2021 came around and he stated due to poor weather conditions, we would be the first customer of 2022 and that we were “on the books!” Spring 2022 came around and he would continue to lead us on and telling us that he will be there on specific days and then again he wouldn’t answer his phone or texts. He kept ghosting us and texting us what we wanted to hear… it is now 1 year later and it’s still not fixed. He continues to screen our phone calls and rarely answers. Due to this delay, we were unable to complete this project until all these issues are corrected. We are awaiting to complete landscaping and install fend around property until this has been corrected. We would highly suggest thinking twice before you agree to have this company perform work at your house. We are shocked by their unprofessionalism, lack of respect and lack of pride in their work. Their slogan is that they stand behind their work; however clearly this is not true. Hopefully, I am able to post photos to prove the extent of our situation.

Response from Bruno Morelli Contractor
In response to this review, the height of the wall was agreed upon before starting to build the wall. The yard was landscaped after we completed our work. The landscaper left soil higher than the yard, which caused the water issues. As far as the caps on the wall are concerned, they are split with a machine and scratches are normal. Any chips out of the ordinary are replaced but not any ones with scratches. The concrete pad received a hairline fracture where the hot tub was placed. We stand behind our work and are willing to fix any cracks. As for the additional concrete poured around the slide, the project was completed, and the homeowner liked it and paid in full. Afterwards, he stated that he wanted 2 more feet of concrete. One of our employees went out on the side and poured the additional concrete free of charge. Payment was never requested for the additional concrete that the homeowner is upset about.

You should never consider another concrete company! This guy is the best. The concrete work is the best in Pittsburgh area. Work was done timely with a professional crew. This was my second house where his company did concrete work for me. You can get all the bids you want but his quality and workmanship is a cut above. Bruno, (the owner), explains everything and does exactly what he says he will do. In my opinion he is "A cut above".

Bruno Morelli Concrete did a wonderful job replacing our driveway. They were prompt, professional, thorough and very knowledgeable. We needed 85 yds of concrete, as we have a very large driveway. I would have given them 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend Bruno Morelli Concrete. They were a pleasure to do business with. Their pricing was very reasonable.

Morelli Concrete is a fantastic company to work with. They offered suggestions to make the project even. We had to match concrete at multiple levels with door ways and they did a great job. Offering simple solutions to make everything flow. Their price was fantastic and the 40 plus years of being in business gave us the comfort of working with a true professional company. , I expected a little delay in response times because we were working g with them in the late spring/early summer but they were quick to respond and answer questions.

Thank you for your wonderful review. It was great doing work for you.
The design was nice, but the sidewalk all around the back of my house was not excavated properly. It was raised almost 1 foot above the ground. Also, the driveway was not sealed properly. When I brought this to Pete's attention, he said he would reseal the driveway and sidewalk and look at the raised sidewalk. It has now been almost 2 years (May 2019) and nothing has been done. Pete has continually made promises, and nothing has been done. Very disappointed. Would not recommend. Their tagline that they always stand behind their work means nothing, because they don't.

So pleased with the beautiful work Morelli did on our driveway and patio. Contacted three contractors for quotes and Morelli was the only one that showed up. Not only did they show up, but they were reasonably priced and they did everything they said they were going to do. The crew worked so hard and very meticulously and it shows in the work they did for us. We have had many compliments from neighbors and people passing by remarking on how amazing our driveway looks. We would not hesitate to use Morelli's services in the future and we would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

We highly recommend Morelli Concrete. Pete was professional and he and his hard working crew finished our job in 3 days! The price was more than reasonable for such a big job: new garage floor and driveway, as well as a complete makeover with a new patio and walkway entrance. What a transformation!! Pete was and is always available when I text him with questions, even after the job was complete. So glad we hired Morelli!!

It went great. Bruno and his crew came bright and early the morning that was scheduled, tore out the awful steps a previous contractor put in, built the frame, poured the concrete and had the new steps looking perfect, all in one day. Bruno is very professional, nice and knowledgeable. The steps look great and we couldn't be happier.

Description of Work: Front walkway/Then added 2 patios
Entire process was exceptional. Did a combination of regular brush finish and some stamped concrete. Communication was excellent, team was professional, pricing was very reasonable compared to the other quotes we got, etc. Only issue (minor) was some of the saw cuts in the stamp work had lots of chip marks due to using a brand new blade on the concrete saw. A little disappointing there but fairly minor overall. I’d definitely hire Bruno, Pete and their team again.

Very quick to respond and give a bid, expected start in 3 weeks and called after 2 1/2 weeks to start work. Arrived slightly earlier than 7:30 a.m. got set up and his son and team worked fast with Bruno overseeing every aspect of the job, they finished exactly as expected. They were very professional , courteous and efficient that comes from a lot of experience.

Quite well. Bruno came to house to prepare estimate. They had us select stamp pattern, and color. Once they were ready to start, I was told they would be there at 7:30 the next morning, and 7 workers and 3 trucks showed up exactly at that time, and the next day at the same time. Work was completed within 4 days, and looks great.
Description of Work: replacement of brick steps with stamped concrete
I don't know how it would of went because we parted ways due to their unprofessional responses and not being able to set a date to do my work after over a month of me having signed a contract. The best I got was 10 day window and being told that I would be notified a day before they were going to do the work. That was not acceptable to me considering my husband or I would need to take the day off and can not do that without ample notice. Not to mention we start off with a sloppy contract were they had my last name wrong. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone that is looking to have something done in a timely manner. If you have time to wait and to be told at a moment's notice, then you should be fine. After several email correspondences they had the nerve to say that I was treating them poorly because I wanted to know when this work would be done. Whomever was emailing me, and I say whomever because there was never a name or a company signature added, again highly unprofessional for a business that is asking me to pay them $11,000. I work with contractors on a daily basis and none of them are as unprofessional as these people. They also said that since I was giving them a hard time now that they could only imagine how I would be if they did the work. That is another red flag to me because it seems like you are not confident in your work that you already think that I would have an issue with the outcome. My only issue was their responsiveness to my numerous emails requesting a date so that I could schedule the day off. Maybe it is just me, but I did not think that that was too much to ask. I have now lost 6 weeks when I could have had another contract have this project done by now.

We were sorry to read the above report criticizing our company when we feel we went out of our way to answer all of [Member Name Removed] emails to us. I do have to admit though, it was expected. In response to the wrong name on the contract, a letter "V" instead of the "B" was used due to misunderstanding the name on the telephone when they made initial contact. We honestly do not know what more we could have done to satisfy [Member Name Removed]. We attempted to answer all of her 26 emails in the little over a months time period that we had sent the contract. Unfortunately our line of work does not permit us to give an absolute date when we will be able to do someone's work. When it rains, it doesn't just throw that one job back a day - it throws everyone after them back also. We did tell [Member Name Removed] we would do their job the last week in September - THIS week and would have had it finished. Unfortunately last Friday, 9/[Member Information Removed], we received another email telling us she wished to cancel the contract she had with us. When she wrote back again on Tuesday morning asking when we would be starting again, we decided we would not be able to work for her. We do not collect any monies before we do our work and with all the problems that she seemed to constantly have with us being so unprofessional, we just felt it was in our best interest to walk away from her job.

Once the time for the work was set, everything went smoothly and the work was completed and looks amazing.
Description of Work: Stenciled poured concrete patio
We had Bruno Morelli Contracting recently do a large concrete driveway and aggregate patio for us. He was always available to answer any questions and did a great job at explaining everything to us. They were prompt, courteous and very professional. Their slogan is “we stand behind our work” and they truly lived up to it. One day after part of the driveway was poured I pulled in and did not like that looks of how the recently poured piece was sloping. I called Bruno and he was there first thing in the morning. Without any arguing he immediately tore up the recently poured piece and replaced it that day. I’m sure this was a significant additional cost to him but he did it without reservation or extra cost to me. He also insists that you will be happy with his work and does not require any payment until all of the work is complete. I have recently worked with several contractors and would say that there are very few contractors that are as high of quality as Bruno. I would gladly have him do more work for me and recommend him without any reservations to anyone who needs to have concrete work done.
