M & F Concrete

One key challenge was the pool, landscaping and deck. They took careful consideration of the surrounding installations including parking the concrete truck on the access road and hauling the concrete into the project. The project manager, Josh Case kept me informed through the process and supervised the final installation. I had been through a number of companies to get this work done, but M&F stepped up and executed professionally.

Excellent work. This is the second time we have used this company. Josh Case and his team were very attentive to our needs. They were professional and explained everything to us in detail. We really appreciated their customer first approach.

very well, did the job as described and they were careful not to damage the yard and cleaned up after themselves.

Marcos and his team were extremely responsive, professional and performed all work in an outstanding and timely manner. Following the framing and pouring of concrete the workers ensured the concrete was smooth and even. One worker remained and continued smoothing and brushing the concrete to perfection for several hours after the main team departed. Marcos is an excellent and caring manager and as a testament to this he came back in the afternoon and in his business attire and personally assisted final touch-up and clean-up. This is the second time we have hired M&F for concrete work over the past eight years and we have been extremely pleased with their pricing and excellent quality of work. Thank you Marcos!

We contacted M&F Concrete to build a stamped concrete backyard patio/walkway. Josh Case was assigned to be our project manager and he was just an absolute pleasure to work with. He laid out the design, worked closely with us in the selection of color and stamping design, and worked around our schedule changes for installation without complaint. During installation, he could have recommended an additional step which would have cost more and which we were willing to add, but he said it wasn?t necessary, thereby saving us about $1,000. We are very pleased with the result and look forward to using our new walkway/patio for years to come.

It looks fantastic and the team was very efficient and completed the work in about 10 hours. It took a team of about 7 to complete the work. The colors were as anticipated. They came back the next day to apply the double sealant. Our neighbors used them after seeing what a great job they did with our patio. Their estimate was in the middle of other estimates we received.

Job started on time. Josh recommended some design changes which worked out well. Workmanship was first class all the way. Rebar and wire mesh used throughout, unlike what was proposed by another company. Prior to contract we were shown many pictures of past jobs and were comfortable with the process, no pressure. Received many compliments!

Before you consider hiring MF Concrete, you may wish to profit from my unfortunate experience with them. I interviewed a number of firms that specialize in stamped concrete. MF Concrete was one of the more expensive but Josh Case presented himself well and described in detail how the work would be done and his personal involvement in the project. The cost of the work was approximately $30,000 and involved a replacement walkway and landings in the front of our house and a replacement pool deck in the rear of the house. The demolition work went well. The new stamped concrete did not. We contracted for a black color, the shade of asphalt as Josh described it. The color we received was silver gray, not anything like we ordered. When this was pointed out to Josh on the day the concrete was poured, he said that the concrete would turn dark. It did not. Josh with the help of the owner Mario tried other ways to darken the concrete, all to no avail. Shortly after the concrete was dumped by the cement mixer, Josh and Mario disappeared to their next job leaving their workers on their own. The lack of adequate supervision while the concrete was leveled and stamped led to wide separations between the concrete sections, not the knife edge separations we were promised. Within a month after the concrete was poured, large cracks began to appear. We now have seven cracks that each run 6-12 feet through the concrete. We would have sued MF Concrete but for the fact that the contract we signed would have required us to pay for their legal costs. All I can say is shame on me for hiring them and double shame on me for signing the contract. I will be filing notice with the Better Business Bureau, not in the hope of collecting any damages, but warn other home owners of my experience. MF talks a good game. But in my opinion, they do not deliver. WATCH OUT!!!!

We moved into a new home last year that had a hand-made front walkway/patio from the previous owner. The old walkway had big pieces of slate stone laid into concrete for a mosaic effect, but the stone pieces were coming up and the walkway itself was unlevel, crumbling and a trip hazard. Josh from M&F Concrete came all the way out to our remote home location and gave me a great quote. He definitely knew what he was talking about and brought up points that other contractors who gave me estimates hadn't even considered. He didn't try to pressure me by upselling into something I didn't want and his price was far better than other quotes I had received. Even better, he was able to squeeze us in to his busy schedule within two weeks! The final product was beautiful and really made the front of our house look 100% better. I would definitely hire M&F again and will when we are ready to build our backyard patio!

The work was very professional from the planning to the execution. The only drawback is the difference between the color chip we saw and the finished product. The finished product is much more yellow than the chip. M&F stated that the color variance was due to the specific sand used in the concrete mix and that given time it will become the color we ordered. I'll come back and change my review if the color changes.

We'd like to relay what a good experience we had working with M&F Concrete. We had a situation where we were up against the wall due to the criminal business practices of a prior concrete contractor. We called M&F Concrete in hopes we could salvage this project. Josh was quick to come out, assess the situation, and present it to Marcos Silva. They came back with a cost that was more than fair in an effort to help us out of a jam. They could have taken advantage of us but instead they extended a helping hand. To make a long story short, they completed the job in the amount of time they'd stated they would, and did an absolutely phenomenal job! We cannot say enough about the work ethic and tidiness of their workers, as well as the integrity of Marcos and Josh. They are a professional team and their craftsmanship is superb and second to none!! We will definitely use them again for future projects and couldn't recommend them highly enough for those who desire the highest quality at a very reasonable price. Thank you, M&F Concrete!

After waiting over for a month for a promised call-back, I set an appointment with Josh for an estimate on a concrete driveway and large parking pad for 6/27/3 at 11:00 am. At his request, I emailed him my address and confirmation of the appointment day and time. He never showed and never called, claiming that he never got the email. We rescheduled for 7/2/13 at 2:00 pm. At that point I provided him with the address and alternative routes for getting to my home - one via a ferry and one via the beltway. He called 45 minutes after the appointed time, indicating that he was not going to be able to make it. Had it not been for the glowing recommendations on Angie's List, at that point I would have told M&F to forget it. Instead I agreed to reschedule for noon today. Josh called late this morning and indicated he would be late for our appointment, expecting to arrive after 1:00 pm. At 12:55 pm he called again and indicated that he was on his way, but had just realized that his equipment would not be able to cross using the ferry so he was considering us outside his "service zone". Since he was less than 10 miles from us at that point, we suggested that he keep the appointment, reminding him that there is an alternate route that requires no additional mileage. He declined. This is the least professional dealing I have ever had with a company. Given the lack of concern for keeping commitments before getting a check, I shudder to think what would happen once M&F had a deposit. Since estimates from other firms ranged from $10-$20K, I am very glad I did not enter into a contract with them!

Our contact, Josh, was exceptionally professional. He quickly assessed our situation and helped create a pleasing design for the patio. He and his crew worked with our schedule to complete the work in time for a visit of relatives from Sweden. The work crew of five men was exceptionally professional and hard-working. The patio area, approximately 12 feet by 35 feet was prepared, leveled with fill, forms laid, concrete delivered, colored, poured, stamped and colored with a secondary accent shade all in one day! Two days later, another workman arrived to clean, dry and seal the concrete. While doing this he also power-washed the adjoining house siding. The result is even better than I had imagined at an affordable price. Neighbors and our visitors alike are complimenting us on the beautiful addition to our home. We are delighted with the patio and are really enjoying it.

They have been great so far. They are doing the work currently. We looked at many companies and decided to go with them. I thought the lead guy, Josh, was outstanding. He explained the entire process in detail and made sure we understood how everything was planned and how it would go. He and the owner, Marco, were great during the entire process.

Outstanding. It looks great. Very friendly, they stand behind their work. It is beautiful we get compliments all the time.

They were the utmost in professionalism. It started with their punctual response and continued as they did exactly what they promised int he timeframe they promised.

Someone took my info and told me someone would call me back. Four days later and no response.

They came out and gave me an estimate right away. Once they got our deposit, they put us on the schedule. The weather did not cooperate for a couple of weeks, so the project was delayed for a little bit. I'd rather delay it then have them come and try to do it when raining or too cold to set properly. Once they started, the project took 2 days and it looks great.

Had used before for a stamped driveway and the job was completed in a satisfactory way. they never responded to my request for an estimate on the current job.

They performed the work well. They came on time, put sufficient numbers of men on the job. They completed the work as agreed and on budget.

Called M&F to get an estimate on removing my blacktop driveway, and replacing with concrete. They provided a written estimate. When I had a question, they answered via email and also sent a new estimate (no change in price) with my question answered in writing. They were very easy to work with and did nice work. I would definitely use them again.

We couldn't have hope for a better result.

Everything went fine, but we did have some rain along the way but they did a really good job. The pricing was what I thought a very good deal.

From the estimating process through cleanup, first rate. Kept me informed throughout the process, returned calls within minutes. I will definitely call this company first for anything in the future. I was so happy with their work that I paid them more than the price they charged.

I hired Marcos to install a concrete slab for a new garage. I met with 4 or 5 other companies and Marcos' price was very competitive. I selected them as Marcos new exactly what was required by Fairfax County, I partially told him what I needed, intentionally not telling him everything and he knew the rest, and offered some advice on the best way to do the job. He did as I contracted. They had one team come in and do the excavation for the slab, using a laser to make sure that the forms were level, laid the stone, rebar and poly plastic. Next day another team came in and did the concrete pour. The slab was finished by hand, every time I thought they were finished they spent another hour or so smoothing it out, then again when I thought they were done they did more finishing.. Marcos' crew were real professionals, and the slab looked really good with a great sheen and color to it, it was level and smooth. They finished the slab by hand. You could see that his team have done this for years and it looked like they had been working together for years. It showed they they were concrete people and not jacks of all trades and masters or none. The contractor that built my garage commented that the slab was a done really well. The only problem I had with MF was the scheduling, they were really busy and it was hard to get a date for them to come out and do the work, but once I got a date from Marcos, he was there that day and completed the job when he said. There were no extra's and no surprises. He did the job he said, didn't cut corners, was very professional and charged me the price he said. So, I would hire him again without a doubt.
