Salzano Custom Concrete

After purchasing the Big Deal, the company was very up front and honest about letting me know they were unable to perform that specific type of work I needed, which I really appreciated. I didn't end up using this company for this Big Deal, but because of their honesty, I would consider using them in the future if I needed a type of service they perform.

Salzano installed our stamped concrete patio in 2013 and we loved the work they did. Winter 2014 was a long, cold, wet winter and our patio was looking a little shabby. The color looked faded and there was what looked like oxidation in some areas. I took some pix and sent them to CJ Salzano. Without hesitation, CJ offered to reseal it at no charge. Not only did they reseal the patio, they touched up the color for free and it looks great!! I would definitely recommend Salzano and I will definitely use them in the future.

The provider did a great job. It did take quite a long time to get them scheduled. Initially, they told me they would not seal a stamped concrete walkway installed by another provided. But then, they called me back to do the work. The price was a little higher than I wanted to pay - $1 sf, but they used non-slip sealant. Job looks great. Note: Greystone installed this sidewalk and wanted $550 to seal, which I agreed to, but never showed up to do the work even after scheduling three times. So, I'd say - use these guys to both install and seal your concrete!

The work team showed up on time and were very friendly and professional. The foreman explained everything they were going to do and, during the project when there was a question on a particular detail of their work, they did not hesitate to ask me for what I wanted. The only problem with the project was that the complete footer of the removed foundation was not removed as agreed to. When contacted, Salzano apologized for the error and the work team returned in a timely manner and removed the entire footer to my satisfaction.

Bottom Line - the final result is truly amazing. The patio, curbs and wall all look great and we couldn't be more pleased. If you are considering a new patio or replacing an old one I would highly recommend CJ and his crew. CJ is super responsive, very helpful and holds your hand throughout the entire process. Price - Salzano concrete provides great value. At first I thought it would be expensive - and at $12,000 its a major investment, but compared to the alternatives and the amount of work that CJ puts into this its cheap by comparison. First, you are getting a patio that will last 20+ years and won't need to be re-laid, and won't have issues in 5 years like pavers or flagstones. To compare - replacing my existing flagstone patio with the stones in concrete would have been $30/sq ft, and getting them re-done in stone dust would have been about the same as stamped concrete - only it lasts 1/4 of the time and you still have issues with weeds and settling. Salzano concrete is hands down the best value for the money. Plus it looks great. Process - my experience was great. CJ was always on time, very responsive and super helpful and never pushy on any items. TRUST HIM. He knows what he is talking about. CJ's crew is also great - they know what they are doing. TRUST THEM. They have done this so many times they know how to get it done properly. Keep in mind that this process isn't done in one day - it takes time to get things laid out properly, pour the concrete, stamp it, color it, and let it set before you can really see the finished project. Along the way it can be a little emotional - DO NOT WORRY, it will turn out great.

He lectured me about company costs and declined to look at my job.

In October of 2012 we wrote a contract to have a new house built and finally settled in September of 2013. During that time we did a ton of research on which kind of patio we wanted to build once we moved into the house. After deciding to go with the stamped concrete over natural stone or paver and getting several quotes, we are very happy we chose Salzano Custom Concrete. CJ came by our house and went over all the options with us, from budget, size, patterns, and colors. He even provided multiple quotes based on different designs and size of patio we were considering. After finalizing our design we were added to the queue and could follow our progress via their website. CJ was in constant contact through out the process and was very accommodating. We would have no problem using Salzano Custom Concrete in the future.

I hired them for my Patio which came out very well and any complaints i had was taken care off immediately.

Excellent job. Highly recommended

My parents, who live in the Washington, D.C. area, hired this company to perform some work last year. The business started the project a few days after the scheduled start, which frustrated my parents, but they say that after the company started work, it did a great job. My parents had their concrete driveway repaved and resurfaced. It probably needed that work done. The last time I had visited, prior to this new work, I had noticed that the driveway had some major cracks. Apparently, the company went in, tore out the old concrete and replaced it with stamped concrete. They also resurfaced the pool deck behind their home. I went to visit my parents last year, and the work they had done looked amazing! They had sent me pictures, but seeing it in person made it look more impressive.

Salzano Concrete installed our patio and overlaid our sidewalk and front porch with stamped concrete. The workmanship was top-notch. CJ and his company offer a great product at costs considerably less than pavers or bricks. We receive frequent compliments on the patio and sidewalk from neighbors and friends who are surprised that the composition is stamped concrete. CJ worked closely with us to select the right colors for the concrete which perfectly compliment the exterior colors of our home. When there were minor imperfections shortly after the installations (which were few in number), CJ and his team followed up right away and corrected the problems. We have not had any damages or imperfections since. Without hesitation, we would recommend Salzano concrete for installation of stamped concrete for any type patio, sidewalk, or porch.

They were timely, professional, and anxious to make sure we got what we wanted. I would highly recommend them to anyone. It was helpful to me to go see work they had done before on jobs similar to ours.

They gave us a very thorough quote. They were very thorough at following the instructions that we wanted, one of which was to have the quote itemized. Their price was good too.

From start to finish, the job went very well. We had Salzano Custom Concrete install a 550 square foot patio in March 2013, which we thought would be large enough to accommodate a 6-person dinning set, a 4 person chat group, and an average sized grill. We were replacing a 400 sq ft deck that accommodated the 6-person dinning set and the grill with plenty of room to spare. We were WRONG. We needed more space for our grill so we decided to have Salzano come back out in August 2013 to add on 150 sq ft addition to our patio. Normally, Salzano has a minimum job size and this job fell below that threshold. However, CJ immediately waived the minimum order requirement because we were recent repeat customers. Therefore, we told CJ he could fit us in whenever his schedule allowed so there was a little lag between when we booked the job in June and when the job was completed in August, but that is completely understandable. Peak season and smaller job is going to take a while to get on the schedule. Nevertheless, the job was done within our time lines and we couldn't be more pleased with the finished product. Just like our first experience with him, CJ was easy to work with, accommodated our special requests, his crew was polite and easy to work with, they cleaned up the job site each day, and they did a great job matching the colors on the new patio to the existing stamped concrete patio they put down in March 2013. The patio looks like a natural stone patio, but it cost less than half what a natural stone patio would look like. And it will be far less maintenance than a wood deck. We are extremely happy with the service, quality, and value received for our money and we would definitely use Salzano Custom Concrete again.

From start to finish our experience with Salzano Custom Concrete was superlative. CJ, the owner, was very professional, pleasant, and responsive to all our questions and concerns. He was enormously helpful. The crew was really impressive! They were prompt, efficient, quick, and highly competent. They went above and beyond the call of duty. They were very tidy...cleaning up after each day's work. Their work was excellent! Our walkway, porch and driveway look fabulous! We couldn't be more pleased and highly recommend this company.

The job went very well overall. CJ Salzano worked with us to come up with a design, gave us several addresses of prior jobs for us to check out, and he let us take our time making a decision. He was also flexible on contract terms and payment schedules, which gave us a high degree of comfort. The job took about a week to complete and the crew was very good about cleaning up the site each day before they left. We are pleased with the finished product and recommend them to anyone interested in having a concrete patio installed.

Work was not performed because I waited too long to book a date. Their calendar filled so quickly I could no longer wait until the first date they had available.

Did not "go" at all. This provider has not returned our email or call to this date for a simple estimate! You would think that an Angie's List provider would be eager to respond to a potential customer right away. While others have responded, Salzano has not at all.

They called saying that they usually didn't do that small of a job and it would cost around $3-4,000

Outstanding from start to finish.

i contacted CJ Salzano in December 2012 to obtain an estimate on a patio and a concrete pad. He personally came to my house and provided me an estimate. He was very professional and friendly. When he came in March to complete the pation and pad he was equally as professional. He and his team completed the work on time. within budget and did an excellent job. I willl have him do all future work of this nature for me.

My experience with them was pretty positive because their work looks great.

The overall experience went well. They had quite a long wait list and it was based on a first come/first serve basis. We contacted them in August of 2011 and the porch and walkway weren't laid until December, but we knew that we would be waiting a while from our initial conversation with Jim and we weren't in a rush. He was very straight forward with us and answered any questions we had. His price was reasonable and since concrete is there business, was a better choice than some of the other places we received estimates from (masonry businesses that also pour concrete). I would definitely recommend going through Salzano Concrete!

C.J. was knowledgeable when we met to review our needs and budget. We made a plan and I was provided a quote on the spot. There was a lengthy delay in start date due to number of jobs the company had. They made this very clear prior to my commitment to any contract. I was pleasantly surprised when an earlier date brought the crew around. The workers were very diligent, a criticism was that English communication was limited as the entire crew spoke primarily Spanish. They did have a project manager whom I was in contact with during construction via phone and in person at key times. Once the patio was framed up, I requested a change to the steps- from 2 to 3 & altering the depth. The changes were done without hesitation & the finished product exceeded our expectations. The job did take longer than expected but we had a storm break & consequently other job conflicts. In the end it was completed prior to the original start date. This was phase 1 of a 2 phase upgrade & it certainly upstages the existing wood deck. We will not hesitate to have Salzano complete the next phase when the time comes. After the job was complete I had to call to request debris be removed from the property - that was in November 2012, now mid February 2013 we still have that debris sitting in the common area behind the house which I would like removed.

Very well from initial estimate to completion of job.
