Excellent work and service.

I had an issue with shared driveway. I needed a line cut into my driveway to show my property line The house was foreclosed next door to my house and before another neighbor moved in, I needed a line ASAP. I emailed Dave on Saturday and he called me around 12:00 on Sunday. I explained my problem and he would come out to my house that afternoon. He came out on time, dicussed the problem and read the survey of my property line. He dropped a line and cut the line on my driveway in the corect place. Now that is service!!!! Dave was great, if I needed some concrete work done, I would call Dave. Well done!!

The quality of the work and the price was good. They did everything in a timely manner and everything he said he was going to do he did. I did not have to look over his shoulder and monitor their progress. I will use them again in the future.

Dave is extremely professional, has a good eye for design, and is very easy to work with. He came to my home, marked out and measured potential driveway, came back out when I decided to redesign drive, got permits, kept me informed of time schedule, Dave and his crew arrived on time (everyday), removed old drive, dug out additional pad, insured leveling was spot on, and meticulously poured and spread concrete. He displayed great attention to detail and made sure that I was completely satisfied with the job before he left. While they were working on the drive, I was talking to the 3 guys who drove the mixers and they said he's the best around. It's high praise from the guys who know the drill. I had no "buyers remorse" after this quality job.

No work was done, see above.

Same as above

The company was very professional including the workers. They were courteous and cleaned everything up when they were finished.

Our driveway was starting to disintegrate and it was time to repair. Our research with Angies List and online led us to Dave of Dave’s Concrete of Virginia Beach, VA. We contacted Dave for an estimate. The estimate was not only for our driveway but to include the back patio which was in even worse condition and to create a walkway between the two along the side of the house. I wanted everything new. Hence all the old work had to be removed. His estimate was spot on. The time frame required was 3 days of good weather. Dave was always present with his crew. He even had a port-o-potty set up so that there was no need for the crew to ever enter our house. Always punctual and courteous he and his crew tenaciously worked on removing the old concrete, pouring and forming the new. Here is where we could see why Dave got so good reviews in the past. To say that he, Dave and his crew are persnickety is an understatement. Everything had to be perfect. The slope just so… so the water would always run away from our house and foundation. Weeks afterword we had severe rain and I was amazed that no water puddled anywhere on the concrete it seemed to flow off and away in a perfect laminar flow. As the job progressed the neighbors commented on the quality of the job. When completed all admired the result. He had added a few slight artistic touches after asking such as giving a slight curve where it had been squared off prior to the job. We now had the best driveway in the neighborhood. This resulted in two problems people we did not know would stop while driving by our house and ask, “Who did that beautiful driveway?” The other problem is that my wife and I had to re-assess our landscaping and improve on it just to match and do justice to our driveway and patio. He should have put those new costs estimates into his estimate. LOL My opinion If you want concrete work done right Dave’s Concrete is a sure bet. Then have a landscaper standing by… Jon F. Scott

Dave said he would look into the disposal of the broken concrete. He called back and said he was unable to find a place to accept the old broken concrete. I contacted two additional concrete contractors and they both came to my house and gave me an estimate on a new driveway and walkway. They told me that it was not a problem of disposal,but it would just take longer to complete the job because of the time it takes to haul the old concrete from Portsmouth. I am trying to understand why Dave has the problem with disposal. He probably does good work, but if you live in Portsmouth, call someone else.

We had called three companies from Agnie's List to be interviewed for some concrete work we wanted done at our home. After, interviewing all three companies we decided that Dave's Conrete was best suited for the job. Once we agreed to the estimate, he provided a contract of all work to be performed and an estimated start date. We had to wait for a bit (about 2 months) for the job to be started, which was fine with us. "all good things come to those who wait", he actually came about a week early. Although, he was not the least expensive, we felt that he was WELL WORTH it for all that he did for the money. We are EXTREMELY SATISFIED with our new patio and the huge extension of our driveway. He was easy to work with and very professional. We plan on calling him again in the future and would defintely recommend him to friends and family. He was true to his contract and was easy to work with, especially, when we decided to change the size of our patio. They came in mid day on a Thursday and was finished mid day on Friday. We really liked the fact that we didn't pay a thing until the work was completely finished and I thought that said alot of Dave and his company.

Dave is passionate about concrete! Plain and simple. He and I spent several hours walking the driveways and discussing the job during the bid process. Not once did he give the impression he "was in a hurry" as other bidders acted. He explained everything in detail and how the job would proceed. He and his crew showed on time on day 1 and worked till dark doing the demolition. Dave was right there with them, swinging and breaking-not just driving by to check on things-a major plus. They demo'd the entire drive in 1 day! I massive amount of debris had to be hauled away. Day 2 was bright and early and he shot grades on everything and then, with his crew, laid the forms. We suffered a few weather delays-but Dave came by both days to make sure the grade wasn't being washed away. After the weather delay, concrete was ordered-he did slump tests on each load to insure it was perfect before he allowed any of it to be poured-I told you he is passionate! Then he hauled the concrete as his crew was busy tamping and finishing. They never stopped once. 6 men swinginig and moving-it was a sight to behold. By the end of the day we had a beautiful driveway and 6 very tired men in our front yard. The next day they came back to wash the driveway (we opted for exposed aggregate). Now that was a mess. But at the end of it everything was cleaned that got splattered and the driveway was finished. Phenomenal job! It is always a pleasure to do business with someone so passionate about their trade! He may not be the cheapest, nor the most expensive, but you cannot go wrong with Dave! He is proud of his work, and it shows!

Started on time and did a good job.

The completed result is outstanding! Besides being a solid construction job, it is a work of art. Careful attention to detail was taken in every aspect of the work. His crew members were very polite! The best part was, I didn't feel at all like I needed to worry about what was going on outside my house, at any point during the job. I would recommend Dave's Concrete to anyone! It was money well spent.

I had a one car driveway that contained many significant cracks and was falling apart. The driveway also included an apron for a second car. I also had a front porch slab that was lower than the ground on one end. As a result, when it rained the porch would flood. In addition to this being a safety hazard, this also caused the front porch posts to rot. The walkway from the porch to the driveway also dipped too low at one spot causing some flooding when it rained. I received four quotes to remove the driveway, front porch and walkway. When Dave from Dave's Concrete came to provide an estimate he explained the entire work process from start to finish and answered all of my quesitons. The other contractors were not as forthcoming with the information. The work actually started a few weeks later than planned due to a wave of rain storms during that period. However, Dave contacted me regularly to keep me updated as to when he expected to start. When the start date actually came the work was in jeapordy again due to bad rain storms the night before but Dave and his team did what they needed to, in order to get the job moving. During the demolition of the porch, walkway and driveway, Dave and his team found some significant drainage problems around the driveway and low end of the porch. Unlike mst other contractors that would have swept the problem under the carpet, so to speak, Dave and his team dug out the problem areas and inserted crushed stone into the affected areas so as not to cause problems in the future. Dave and his team compelted the project the following day and the finished project exceeded my expectations. My wife and I usually have bad luck with contractors (heating/ac, roof, etc) but Dave and his team were a breath of fresh air. Dave was on site the entire time to make sure all went smooth. His workers were some of the most polite, couteous, hard-working and professional guys we've ever come across. Bottom line, Dave and his entire team were superb and I will definately use Daves Concrete again for all future concrete work.

The owner responded promptly to my phone call. He prepared a proposal which I found acceptable at a reasonable price. The work was accomplished in what I consider to be a timely and very professional manner. The owner supervised all phases of the work. I think both he and his workmen were very competent and skilled. During all phases of the job the owner was very pleasant and informative.

We had a large concrete project done by Dave?s Concrete. This included tearing up a deck, backyard patio, garage floor, driveway, front sidewalk and replacing same. It also included a new sidewalk in the backyard, a pad behind the garage for trashcans, and running drainage pipes from our downspouts out to the back corner of our yard, which corrected our drainage problems. It was a major project, and Dave really came through for us. When we tore up the garage floor we found pools of standing water underneath. Dave dug it out, filled it with crushed stone, installed rebar and a vapor barrier. While prepping the backyard 42? X 14? patio that was to be poured, Dave found some soft spots and without hesitation dug them out and filled them with crushed stone. During all this, Dave was on the project every day, working side by side with his crew. He was quick to answer our questions, and willing to work with any concerns we had. I can?t say enough good things about Dave and his crew. They cleaned up after themselves, filled all the ruts and even cleaned the street in front of the house. It?s rare indeed to find a company that is as conscientious, honorable and straightforward as Dave?s concrete. If more companies were run like Dave runs his concrete company, we?d all be better off. If you have a concrete job, I can assure you Dave is your man.

Fast and easy estimate. Job was performed two days later. Completed in under four hours. Everything was clean and neat.
