"Stamped concrete patio with a sitting wall. Very nice."
"The people over at JES Foundation Repair was able to diagnose and repair the issue I had with a large crack on the side of my garage. They discovered that the crack on two sides was caused by the ground underneath sinking causing the corner to drop. Once they dug up the two sides and saw that the builder of the house had skipped one of the concrete slabs which left no support for the corner of the garage. They were able to resolve the problem by using 6 push piers and added concrete with metal rods to reinforce the structure. The team that did the work (Jose Rodriguez, Henry Ayala and Jesus Baires) has great skill and integrity. I would definitely hire them again to do the job!"
"The crew was fast, efficient and did great work in little time for a new sidewalk and concrete pad. "
"I’m very pleased with the driveway and retaining wall that Robert Construction completed for me. The project was completed within the advertised timeframe and exactly as agreed upon. Robert was willing to accommodate my request for a stronger concrete mix to withstand heavier vehicles. The other handful of contractors providing quotes for this project just replied that a mix with a strength rating above 3500PSI would be “much” more expensive, without saying how much (the PSI rating I wanted was literally just a single digit adjustment in the cement-to-aggregate portions of the concrete mix). None of the other contractors suggested increasing the slab thickness to 6in as an option either, until I asked for it. While Robert brought up different concrete mix options on his own and was able to discuss them competently."
"Professional, quality work! This company is professional and gets the job done. I had a concrete patio installed as an extension of an existing patio. I wanted it to match the design of my current patio, and it did. I had my reservations since all the reviews I read talked about paver installation, and this was a total concrete job â no problem they knew exactly what to do and did it well. I especially appreciated that they made a suggestion which made sense. One end of the patio was quite a bit higher than I pictured. They suggested I add a step to allow easy access to my backyard. Great idea! They know what they are doing and did it well. I need to install a front walk - They will get the job! USE THIS COMPANY - YOU WON'T REGRET IT!"
"Washington Pavements returned to my home and completed both the concrete sidewalk and asphart driveway satisfactorily. They indicated thst customer satisfaction was their goal and proved it. This should replace or supplement my earlier feedback."
"The residential manager Rene Flores overseeing this project was EXCELLENT to work with. I can't say enough good things about him and the way B & R Concrete Masonry handled the project from start to finish. They installed a brick walkway and a 17 by 20 foot brick patio with retaining wall. Both the walkway and patio were set with a concrete base. It is so well constructed and the brick workmanship was excellent. It was in a herringbone pattern which required many cuts of triangles. The project started and ended on time - all completed within 10 days! All the workers were friendly and professional and worked long hour to finish on time. I would highly recommend this company for any brick or concrete projects."
"Great experience. No hidden charges. Everything was up front. Workmen were very respectful and professional, keeping me appraised at every step. Even when I changed things up a bit in the end, they did everything without a wimpier! Highly recommend."
"Expedient and a good job. "
"Nelson and his team did awesome work building our patio. Right from the beginning, with getting our requirements, measuring and estimation, to actually executing the work, they were very professional. I loved the way they organized the day of construction and brought in all resources at the right time and finished the work on time. The quality of work was exceptional and exceeded our expectations."
"Did work quick! Great quality. "
"Awesome company. Highly recommend. "
"Good turn around time and cost"
"Despite the fact they were very busy with larger jobs, and we had a very small walkway, they took great care of us.... the work looks amazing, the crew was super polite and professional, and once they started, worked fast! Very honorable, and helped us to stay within our budget....beyond superior for business ethics!"
"I manage a condominium community in Arlington. One building needed a foundation modification due to a rodent infiltration. The work performed was essential and done well. The issue was resolved. More recently, Structural was hired again for surface water management on a sidewalk low area where they installed Ecoraster blocks that collect and direct water off the sidewalk. They also applied this Ecoraster solution to a hillside next to a building that was eroding badly. The solution is excellent. Pat does a good job of listening and recommending appropriate solutions for the issue."
