George did work for me in the past. George is friendly and a professional. He is meticulous and a perfectionist regarding his workmanship. George designed my walkway and I couldn't be more pleased. Quite fancy. He is an artist in his profession.

Description of Work: Mr Gaydos responded quickly to our initial phone call and went out to evaluate the job. He called us to be sure he knew exactly what we wanted included in the estimate. He told us we would received the estimate in 3 - 5 days - two weeks later we have not heard from him - even after a message from us asking for an update. We do not understand why someone with such shining reviews would do this.

George was wonderful. This was a small job but beautifully done and reasonably priced. He came when he said he would, provided a timely estimate (even though he is still a paper/mail guy), left the work area completely clean, hauled the old concrete and a wood screen away, planted grass seed and covered it with straw--seed/straw was above and beyond. Not to mention the free curb work he did after we had agreed he would not because of the situation the curb was in.I will definitely call on him again.
Description of Work: George replaced a small, crumbling retaining wall, mortared bricks back iinto a column and, for no charge, patched a street curb.

All work went smoothly. George worked with us to find practical, cost-efficient solutions to our wet basement. He's hard-working, honest, and professional. I would hire him again.
Description of Work: Replaced three concrete steps, two sidewalk pads and a section of the driveway. Added a drain to the new driveway section to prevent water in basement. Installed a new rain conductor in yard. Repointed brick in basement.

Mr. Gaydos was friendly, and professional. He enjoys his work, and is a man of integrity. The project went exceptionally well. George is a perfectionist with his work. The outcome is OUTSTANDING. I would recommend him to my family and friends.
Description of Work: Mr. Gaydos completed 2 sets of steps and a long walkway in front of my home. He did a retaining wall on the sides of one set of steps. He did the excavating, setting up the forms for the steps and walkway, and after cement was poured he completed the finishing. Mr. Gaydos had one assistant with excavating.

Well done.
Description of Work: Repaired a part of our driveway and the curb along the side. It had been repaired poorly (not by George) years ago and the patched job finally crumbled away. George carted away all the damaged parts, put in a footer and reinforced the concrete. He rebuilt the curb. He wasn't able to start on the date originally promised due to rain the previous week, but he kept in touch about the delay and began the following week. He was efficient and thorough. I recommend him for concrete work.

Perfectly! George and crew did everything we talked about, made excellent suggestions, and did superior work. They were great to work with, were very quiet (considering they were removing an old concrete drive/patio)---there was no radio or loud music, everyone on the crew was professional and considerate. They did much more than the contract specified at no extra cost. we are so satisfied with the job that we immediately accepted their bid for another big job on our front porch and would have been happy if they could have started the next day. ( there were other jobs they had promised to do and George keeps his promises so we agreed on a future start date.) Another commendable thing--- George doesn't have multiple jobs going at the same time so he is concentrating his efforts on the job at hand. And he showed up in person on site to work with his crew every day insuring consistent quality. Gaydos Construction is everything you hope you'll find when you look for a contractor. ( No we are not related-- never even heard of him until a friend of an friend gave a glowing recommendation).
Description of Work: Replaced driveway, some curbs , large turnaround/patio area , front walk. job required regrading, replacing a drain with one suitable for use by someone with a handicap and saving some concrete pads that were ok. also, since this was a shared drive with the next house, consulting the neighbors and keeping them happy.

Small job. Prompt. Responded to my calls and called me directly when he was delayed by weather. Very satisfied with the price and also with the work done for the price which I thought was more work that the bid. When is the last time that happened?

We have used Mr. Gaydos for several projects in the last few years, totaling well over $10,000 worth. We have always found him reliable, reasonably priced, and prompt. He has done concrete both inside and outside, fixed drainage problems and basement leaks, and most recently repaired our wall. We highly recommend him.

Unlike some other companies who either didn?t return my phone message or didn?t get back to me after I explained the job, George not only answered the first time I called but came by the next day to take a look and leave an estimate. The plan was to replace three sidewalk blocks as well as a 4 x 5? porch pad at the front door. They were all crumbling and beyond repair. I requested an exposed aggregate mix which costs a little more than a smooth finish. I agreed to the proposal and George said he would call when he had a better idea of when they could start, possibly in a month or so. Instead, he showed up unexpectedly about a week later. I was glad to have it begin earlier than anticipated, but the front porch has a garden on either side and I was planning to protect or move some of my perennials before construction. Because I was at work when he arrived, some of the plants were destroyed in the process before I could do anything. Additionally, the new pad was made wider than the old one (without prior approval), and cut into the garden even more. Aside from these issues, I was very happy with the job. There was a little delay in completing the project only because the metal posts supporting the porch roof were found to be rusted out at the bottom when the old concrete was removed and they had to be sent out for welding repairs (accounting for $150 of the total cost). George is personable and easy to talk to and I think he really cares about doing a good job. He even patched and painted the doorstep because some bare concrete was exposed when the old pad was demolished, and that wasn?t something he had to do. I wouldn?t hesitate to recommend him.

These guys were terrific. Jackhammers every day, yes, but totally worth it. The result is beautiful, and it really transforms the house (also shows up how badly we need to paint and powerwash, but that's another story).
Description of Work: George and his crew came to us via Kimicata Brothers (reviewed separately) when we had steps and street-level sidewalks to be replaced that was work that was beyond the scope of what KB would be doing. George gave us an estimate, worked with KB to coordinate their schedules, removed three stubborn sets of concrete steps and two sets of sidewalks, and replaced those five areas of concrete. In addition, because he knew how much I loved the original flagstone slabs that made up much of the sidewalk being replaced, he had his crew save the pieces for us to use in our landscaping and in future renovation work. This was something that earlier proposals had said would be impossible.

The Borough let us know that we needed to repair the curb outside the house. I emailed George Gaydos and he showed up at 5pm that day to look at the job. He and his son were there, and both of them were very easygoing and pleasant to deal with. Within two days we had a quote for $950.00, which was less than we feared it would be. We accepted the offer, and within a week they showed up to begin the work. The one snag was that they showed up without letting us know, and we had a contractor putting up a fence in the back, so there was some traffic congestion as they tried to move materials by them. But the concrete guys were great, very easygoing, and made it easy for everyone. They framed it out, and within two days poured, and pulled off the frame that day. The job is excellent, and they even through in a small patch at the edge of our neighbor's property at no extra charge. They were very easygoing, professional, and did everything in a timely manner. We will call them again when we need concrete work.

Initially, he did not show when he was supposed to and did not return my calls. Several months later he answered the phone and stated that he did not want the job because he under-bidded the job on the contract. He stated that he needed another $500.00. I was ok with it because several other contractors told me that his price was really low. George agreed to do the job with the 500.00 extra. Once he was done the driveway was beautiful. He completed the work early fall of 2006. However, he did not return to seal the driveway, and used wood to separate the pads (apparently the wrong thing to do). By spring their was a running crack from the back to the front of the house. He stated that he did seal it until I reminded him that he didn't because that was the same day he was picking up the extra $500.00. It's now Oct. 2007 he still has not returned.
