Island Concrete, LLC

They did a good job.

Weâ re saddened by Island Concreteâ s (IC) work & business practices. There are many major defects, & they used manipulative, high-pressure tactics to increase the scope & cost of the job once the project got underway. IC was to replace a deteriorating concrete drive & slab on grade foundation in our garage/workshop. The new floor was to be brought down to level. The total area was about 1000 sq ft. The bid was $14K & the job was to take 3 days. The experience of doing business with them was so bad that I would not recommend them for any project. On top of that, there were significant problems with workmanship & quality control: 1) Poor communication: The project manager didnâ t actually understand the job (for ex: lowering the floor to make it level meant it was necessary to add support for walls since the new foundation would be lower). This led to many demands for change orders and additional fees. In the end the project cost more than doubled. 2) Lack of expertise in foundation work: Despite assuring us that â we do this all the time,â they were unaware of needing a vapor barrier in heated spaces, or that walls need to be attached to the foundation. They tried to leave untreated lumber in contact with the ground & the framing above, embedded in the concrete. 3) Poor quality control: The forms were not located accurately & one wall is now out of plumb, there are large gaps where the forms did not fill completely. The project is still not complete, despite assurances that "the job will be 100%" & "we will fix everything." In the end, we lost faith in IC's ability to fix the defects & reached a verbal agreement with them where we would accept a discount of about 50% in exchange for correcting the defects & finishing the job on our own. That deal fell through when IC presented documents from their lawyer with non-disclosure & non-disparagement clauses that prohibited reviewing our experience. Without honest reviews, both good & bad, HomeAdvisor doesnâ t work. I wonder how often this happens & how it skews reviews.

Great crews. Hard workers. After they finished the first project I knew I could trust them with the second and third. They did a 12 X 24 shop slab, increased our side driveway with exposed agg. and refinished our stamped concrete. They are busy so be patient and it will be worth it.

They are a wonderful family owned business that is very skilled and professional. You definitely get a relaxed island vibe from these guys but in no way does that relaxed vibe result in bad work. Their waitlist time was much shorter than any of the other companies that I checked into. I called 12 cement contractors that were even more local to me. Only four of them called me back and it was several months before they would even come give me an estimate. By the time Island Concrete was done two more of the 12 finally called me back to give me a date for an estimate. Sam from Island called me back the next work day and came out to do measurements and give me bid. The only companies that did come and give me bids were from cities in different counties. I chose to use Island Concrete because they seemed the most trustworthy and they have all their own equipment. As someone who has been in and around construction my whole life I understand what a big deal it is to have all the heavy equipment and the people to run it. This means they do the whole project from start to finish work. They don’t have to hire subcontractors to do the excavation and prep work and wait to get on the other company’s schedule. They set the forms, they have their own cement trucks, they have their own finishing crew. Most other cement contractors either set the forms OR do the finish work. Subs are used for everything else. That’s slow these guys do it all and they are fast! I was only on the waitlist for a month. They showed up on the scheduled day and they were done in three days.

What a great company! From the professional first contact with Sam and his knowledge and working with me in many ways on my project. This was a 15x30 patio, entry door landing and a 18' sidewalk. This team which includes the owner as well as a very skilled crew. Project done in 2 days! I would highly recommend Island Concrete! Thanks guys

Fast and on time completion. Nice finish on the new driveway.

They did an excellent job extending the driveway. I would highly recommend this very professional, friendly construction team.

Friendly, quick and efficient. We are beyond thrilled with the work and professionalism they provided. They put a large 22x22 patio in our backyard. The work from start to finish was top of the line. This is a great business that does amazing work! We recommend them and will use them again if we have more projects.

Sam and his crew are on point, in every aspect. They were able to start 2 days earlier than expected, no problem on my end with that. They showed up and straight to work. My new driveway looks amazing. A great big thank you to Sam and his crew

Top to bottom, this was a rock solid crew and company to work with. I worked with Sam to get it all set up and scheduled. They were able to start earlier than expected, but that was fine. I was ready for them. The cement truck and crew showed up at the same time and went straight to work, making my dream a reality.

I hired them for driveway concrete work at the appointment date they came late but the worked and finished it the next day, they did awesome job, my driveway looks great, i want to hire them back for another patio work. i recommend this guys for friends and whoever want concrete job. Thanks! Biruk.

The crew did an excellent job on my driveway. Clear communication, they arrived on time and even were able to get the job done earlier than planned. Highly recommend!

You want professional concrete work at a fair price? Island Concrete is your contractor!!

San and the crew got me out of a difficult situation with another company. They finished the job in rapid time and with excellent results. I was so glad that I switched companies and definitely appreciate the teamwork which resulted in a driveway that neighbors are stopping by to admire. Thanks, everyone who worked on this project! I highly recommend Island Concrete.

The weather caused a bit of a delay at the start of the project but when the work began, the workers were very thorough and hard working. They were able to complete a rather large job that involved 2 large patios with a connecting sidewalk and another 80-foot long sidewalk on the other side of the house. Lots of excavation and forms. One of the patios incorporates a drainage system to keep water away from the building. This system works very well as intended. There were a few problems with my sprinkler system - broken pipes, etc. This held up work for a day but it was eventually repaired, tested and everything worked out ok. I would recommend them to anyone. They also took on a side job (for an extra $$) of moving and planting 2 large ornamental Japanese maple trees that I have been unable to accomplish for years. Very satisfied with that operation as well.

Sam and his crew at Island Concrete did a great job for me. They went above and beyond my expectations and I will definitely hire them back for all my concrete needs. They knocked out my project pretty quickly and the finished product looks great! All my neighbors are asking who did the work. I have referred them to a couple of my family members as well. Highly recommend.

I have to say that the Island Concrete crew are incredibly hard workers. They arrive, they go to work and they work exceptionally well as a team. They all jump in and do what needs to be done and, if need be, call in extra workers who do the same. I was extremely impressed with their work ethic and the work that they did for me. They excavated and disposed of my old driveway, walkway and patio. They poured a much larger driveway and patio, with the walkway staying the same size. The driveway was brushed and the patio was stamped. In addition, they removed, disposed of and rebuilt, using landscaping cement blocks, two retaining walls I had and built two other smaller retaining walls elsewhere in my yard. It was quite the project! They were professional, friendly, patient with me and my questions and cleaned up every day before leaving. I would highly recommend Island Concrete for all of your concrete needs.

They did an excellent & professional job.

They were very professional, came out the next day to prep the site for the concrete pour of driveway and backyard patio. They were punctual and courteous. They did a great job and cleaned up after the work was completed. I would definitely use them again.

Excellent service, work completed in under 2 days. Courteous and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

They gave a great price and went to work the next morning. It was a big job but they got it done in 2 days(2 days faster than their estimate).

Professional, came with all the required equipment to do the job. Included 5 workers. Amazed with Islands work ethic and overall completion of work. Highly recommend Island Concrete. Hire with confidence, does above and beyond truly amazing job. Super happy, would rate them 10 stars if it was possible.

these guys are go getters I loved there productivity and knowledge of grading!!!!!

Island Concrete was wonderful to work with. They helped provide the documentation I needed to submit to my HOA and were quick to answer my questions. They work extremely fast and do the appropriate clean up at the end. They are extremely detail-oriented and you can tell that these guys are pros. I would recommend them to anyone looking to install a concrete patio in their backyard and also a walkway along the side of the house.
