Get matched with top concrete driveway pros in San Marcos, CA

"Hall’s Concrete worked fast and got the job done in a half the time at half the cost of two other quotes I received. I will absolutely hire them again for future projects."

"The owner Manny gave me the best value quote of the 5-6 contractors that reached out to me without even knowing what the others bid. In addition, he promised one day service which immediately moved him to the top choice. Given that his quote was lower than others had me concerned he would cheap out on materials and/or the quality would be poor but given his rating I had to give it a shot and I am glad I did because it looks great and was complete in less than a week after signing the estimate. I never thought I would be this excited about concrete. I have been contemplating doing this extension to my driveway/walkway for over a year and wished I had pulled the trigger sooner. My only recommendation when comparing contractors is make sure you are comparing apples-to-apples. Starting in 2022 I believe code asks for 6" thick for a driveway so some contractors will give you quotes for 6" and some for 4". For me 6" seemed like overkill for my use since my current driveway is only 4" and the area I put concrete is mainly for aesthetics and to help make it easier to roll out the garbage bins. It will be used sparingly for a light vehicle. If you plan on maybe putting an RV or something heavy like a F350 then you may want to go 6" but that is why a good contractor will ask you how it will be used and make a recommendation that meets your needs and not just give you the most expensive choice. In addition, the fact he has been in business over 40yrs says something."

"The walkway and driveway turned out amazing. They took care of all issues that came up along the way."

"I moved in to a new development and Porfirio took care of all the landscaping front and backyard. Don’t think twice in calling him. Very professional and family oriented. I have a corner home with a bigger land and all the neighbors have just complemented the great work he did. Some comments “your front yard is the best one” “he was quick compared to the ones I hired” “amazing”. His work speaks for itself."

"Haven Hub does not do landscape work. They subcontract out the job to random people who's work and experience (if any) is a mystery. The photos you see do not represent Haven Hub's work because you don't know who is actually going to show up on your property and likely, it's not going to be the same people. There is also no oversight of the project to make sure it's being done right. Here's what happened with us: 2 thorough consultations to draft a contract (Nick W), contract increases by 3k with no explanation, I was given the runaround for a few days, some poor excuse about stair walkways costing more than flat concrete and that the cost of materials was getting passed to me directly with no profit margin on Haven Hub's side, 2 weeks later people show up with no idea what they are doing on my property, we had guests that overstayed at our house so they got a hold of me at work to try and explain to someone with limited English and no video call what they needed to do. Different people showed up a week later to do concrete but had no idea what they were doing (the walkway). 2 weeks later another group shows up to lay artificial turf but I had to stop them because they didn't know where the turf was suppose to go. Keep in mind we are in contact with their "Chief Experience Officer" (Alex P) through this process. He says communication issue is because "English is not their first language" then proceeds to claim that everyone knows the project details even though they literally don't. Then they decide that they were not going to dig the planter holes or run the drip line on our yard. First it was because "your sprinkler valve is broken" (it wasn't), Alex argued with me about this as if he knew anything. Imagine someone trying to tell you about YOUR property and they have never seen or been to it. Then when his excuse wasn't getting by, the new excuse became "it's not on the contract" (the contract is vague), then when I brought up the planter holes that are clearly drawn on the contract, the excuse is "the soil in your area is difficult because it has rocks so it's going to cost you more if you want us to dig those eleven 5-gallon planter holes". I called their customer service number and got the runaround for a few weeks with the whole "we apologize that you feel this way" but never a "we apologize that we messed up" because there are two things that could have happened. 1) Nick repeated what we wanted and drew it on his project rendering but wasn't actually listening and what we asked for wasn't on the contract because he was being honestly absentminded, or 2) What we wanted in this project was heard, noted, and Haven Hub just didn't feel like doing it so they resorted to "technically its not on the contract" to pocket a larger profit. Anyway, Chanel-RS is also "an executive" and was in contact regarding the HUGE discrepancy in what we paid Haven Hub for and what we were getting. Every time I got an email it was about how they were diligently working on resolving this issue but basically, I would get calls from them at the very end of their day so if something needed to be addressed, it would just get pushed off to some unknown future date, just not that day. In the end, they didn't do anything to try and resolve anything other than send me what they think is considered an "itemized invoice" because I requested it. In total from the first consultation to project completion took 2 months. Our project was simple and basic and in the end, we did not get everything we asked and paid for, and we had to do free labor for Haven Hub. The only thing I can say that they were diligent and persistent about is trying to send someone to my house, without reasonable notice, to pick up the final payment and then constantly calling about it while the check was in a certified envelope on its way to their pretend office which apparently no one is actually at. After being as shady as they were and giving us no reason to trust them, why would I hand a 22K check to a random person showing up at my door? I'm not risking the chance of them pretending not to have it in their possession so they can charge me delinquency fees. You bet I paid the extra $10 just to certify that check. The only reason they are so scared that check isn't coming is because they are projecting their own dishonestly and lack of ethical business practices. Point is, don't hire them. You are better off just driving to Home Depot and picking up a few day workers to help you with the manpower. Haven Hub has been calling us non-stop to request that we remove our honest review. They tried to bribe us with gift cards and a "$1500 refund" to remove the original review on their business on Yelp."

"Was to be an extensive concrete ramp & steps with brick inlay and bordered by brick retaining walls. Very professional start with large competent crew, heavy machinery. Concrete was poured & paid for 7/19/24 with restart planned in 4+ days. Then nothing. 8/2 "Truck problems". 8/6 still no cleanup, no progress or plan forward. Front walkway/door inaccessible. 8/10 prelim notice from unpaid concrete supplier. Contractor finally shows up again - bricklayer quit, can't find another or a subcontractor. 9/6 release from concrete supplier and an employee sent to do some cleanup. Agree to close out contract for $16,000 paid with no retaining walls, slots in ramps for inlay brick still needing grinding to proper depth, no banister on steps, major cleanup undone."

"Excellent. Company owner (Joshua) immediately responded to my request, and came to my house to provide an estimate, Within a few days, his team was onsite and completed the installation. I am very pleased with the results. The stairs look great. His team was courteous and very professional. Joshua is personable, flexible, and made sure that I was pleased."

"Excellent !"

"All went well. FG Concrete did everything that was asked of him and everything he said that he would do. I also referred him to my neighbor and my neighbor was more than satisfied himself. So if you need someone to do concrete work for you I would highly recommend FG Concrete to do your work."
