C & J CONCRETE CO

1 Star (if I could give 0, I would) This was a nightmare from start to finish. Christopher John of C&J Concrete was working on my neighbor’s driveway across the street when he knocked on our door. He pointed out the cracks in our driveway and offered to “fix” them at a big discount since his crew and materials were already on-site. It sounded reasonable at first—but that’s where the nightmare began. Chris started the work and immediately asked if we could pay in cash. I left to grab the cash, and when I returned, I was shocked. Instead of repairing cracks as he explained, he had slapped down a sloppy patch job—small chunks of concrete smeared over sections of our driveway. The once-beautiful drive with a few cracks now looks far worse. The surface is uneven, rough, and nothing blends in. When I voiced my concerns, Chris brushed it off, promising that this was “just the first step.” He said they’d apply another layer, brush it out, and make everything look uniform. Against my better judgment, I trusted him and handed over the payment. As soon as he had the money, Chris disappeared. No finishing work, no follow-up, no return calls. He vanished the moment he got paid. Now my wife and I are left with a driveway that looks far worse than before and will require real repairs. Instead of solving the problem, Chris created one. Do not hire C&J Concrete. Dishonest, sloppy, and unprofessional. Save yourself the nightmare—we wish we had.

I was approached by C&J’s Chris John with an amazing opportunity to have my driveway replaced at a discount price. Told they were working in the area and ordered excess cement. C&J hires subcontractors for different aspects of the project. He asked for money during the work to pay off contractors. The driveway looks good. Concrete caps on cement on the sides of the houses is terrible. The workers were rushed. They didn’t clean up. Cement was spread I’m all over my lawn and splashed in my brick house anfd new fencing. I complained about the caps cracking in less than one day. Was told they were not finished. Of course he was going to put on a second coat. The second coat is cracking. I was intimidated into partially pre-paying before the work was completed. He even went to my neighbors and complained that I wasn’t paying when asked. The moment he got his money he left a mess. Fulfilling none of his promises to do the job right. Said he believed in Karma. I do to.

Jose was great! His crew took two days to complete my job. Both days showed up on time worked hard and quickly. they do quality work! prepped the first day, poured the second. They took out an old concrete slab and hauled it away same day. cleaned up after themselves. put every thing back they way they found it when they finished. Also cleaned off my driveway/walkway. all they left me to do was enjoy it! Was really pleasant working with this company. I would use them again and will definitely recommended them.

Jose was punctual and kept me informed throughout the project. Did an excellent job of finishing and cleaning up. His price was more than fair and I will be definitely using him in the future.

We had C&J do an additional project for us, pouring a stamped and colored footer wall for a deck area.  The work was done as scheduled and was exactly what we expected. 

Jose and his brother provided the lowest bid on our job.  They followed up with us and were willing to adjust to our schedule to meet and discuss the work.  We did the design, they provided the expertise to make it work.  When we wanted changes, Jose made them quickly and at fair cost.  We plan to have them back for added work.

He came on Tuesday and gave an estimate. He came back Friday and did the prep work. Came back Monday and had the job finished within the day. They cleaned up great. Alphonso was a great supervisor. I would recommend this company for any type of concrete work. He is licensed and insured.
