This man is the worst contractor I've ever hired. The project took over a year to complete and not once did Robert take any responsibility for his poor workmanship. He first of all took 3 months to start the project which is against the law in Florida. He also did not get the required permit as required by law in Florida. I had told him I wanted a permit and he said he was working with an architect to draw up the plans for the permit. He lied and never did so. After the building dept stopped construction I had to pay all the fees because Robert refused to do so despite it being his fault. That started a serious of corrections in order to comply with the inspections and he made me pay for them all. He blamed it on the architect that I had to hire in order to submit the plans to the building dept. Twice Robert would schedule work to be done and both times the day before the work he would hit me up for money saying he needed it to get the job done. That is already having to pay the downpayment and a second installment payment. The money was there but he blew it on unrelated things like his medical treatment he didn't disclose and which causes him to be absent for long periods of time. He also appears to have memory lapses that causes him not to remember things you tell him. His wife handles the communication when he is not on the job. It got to a point where I was telling him what to do on the job. He also hires guys off the street as in my case. He got some **** kind that new a little about masonry and it was horrible. It had to be knocked down and then Robert refused to pay him. The kid came knocking on my door one day threatening me for payment. In Florida, if a contractor doesn't pay, his subcontractors can go after the customer for payment. Need to have contractor sign a waiver so you don't get sued or a lien put on your property. I'm really warning you all. Please stay far away. There are plenty of other reputable contractors out there. Don't risk it.
Response from Robert Riccardo Inc

"I am sorry that no matter what work I have preformed for you I have not been able to please you. I have been in business for over 30 years, I know the building dept protocol which is it may take up to 4 to 8 weeks to get a permit. I have never and will never do a job without pulling a permit. According to our contract, you were to pull the permit. That is when you hired an engineer and had him change the original plans for the job. From that point on you have undermined my integrity as a professional concrete contractor. You went to the City and pull a permit behind my back using my corporate name. Since then, You have taken it upon yourself to control of the project. It took you over 4 weeks to find an engineer and the city did shut the job down. You paid the fees, because you knew you were at fault for not doing this in the beginning. If any corrections were to be made on this job they were a result of you changing the plans of what you wanted done and adding things not to code. Even when the steel was drilled and epoxy to code and ready for inspection, you were not happy You took it upon your self to install extra rebar that was not to code. I had to to remove it to pass inspection. While I was preparing for inspection, I noticed there was extra opening at the top courses of block that was not up to code. I had to undo your installations because they would prevent me from passing inspections. You undermined the integrity of your own engineer by asking for an extra guarantee in writing that the method to be used would be up to code and pass inspection; which set the job back an additional four weeks All of my workers are trained masonry block men. When needed, I can correct them to make an alterations and changes with no problems You ordered them to build an additional column, not stated in our original contract. We created an extra addendum to assure I was going to get paid however, to date you have not paid for that work preformed. You have breached my contract and money is still owed on this project."

Beautifully, Robert worked with us on a creative solution, we have what looks like a brand new slate driveway with a colored stain.

As usual, Robert and his crew did an excellent job of adding in and blending 2 more pallets of pavers to make a unique pathway that my wife designed. He was flexible to our schedule and the price was agreed on well in advance of the work. I would highly recommend his services but don't be discouraged if he is unable to respond immediatley because this is an incredibly busy man.

Robert was punctual for our estimate appointment and gave us a great price for both walkway options, however, when we called to schedule the job we were told he would be able to complete the job before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving passed and we heard nothing. After the holiday week we called to schedule again. The woman answering the phone apologized and said they had been busy and rescheduled with us. Again the date came and went with no contact. We attempted a third time and again got no where. It’s now been 4 months and we have yet to hear back. A simple apology for being too busy to take on our project would have been appreciated.

I really like Robert and he has done work in the past for us. I needed an entire driveway and based on his last job I looked no further then him. (Oak tree fell and destroy driveway) However, the 3rd day after the install, the walkway which he replaced also cracked completely thru. Other areas have minor cracks. I spoke with him, sent emails and text. He always stated he would be back but never did. A year later, the crack is larger and Robert is no where to be found. Really did not want to give this bad rating but what is right is right

Robert worked around the pipe work being done and the few rescheduling bumps that arose. Him and his guys were professional and were able to finish the work in a timely manner.

After a few hiccups over scheduling, once the work began, it was effortlessly and easy. The questions were answered professionally and with knowledge. Mr. Riccardo and his crew were conscious about their work and my concerns. The price was fair and the work went quickly.

Mr. Ricardo was very nice when he came out to review the work I wanted done. Expanding the driveway 4 feet on both sides for the length of the driveway. Spent close to a half hour going over what would need too be done, how it would be done, footers etc. took his measurements and said he would get back with me with a quote. 10 days go by ant not a word from Mr. Ricardo. I called and left a message on his phone. He returned call and said he was just finishing up the quote. We set a time of 10:00 am on Saturday for him to come out and present the quote. Mr. Ricardo was a no-show. On Monday I called Mr. Ricardo and left a message on his phone. No return phone call after 24 hours. 
I don't know how he got all of the A ratings. I even specifically stated that I contacted him only because of all the positive reviews. The lack of common courtesy to at least call and say you don't want the job would have been the minimum a business person would be expected to do. So F's all the way around for the lack of professionalism and wasting my time. 
First time I have ever been disappointed in a contractor I contacted off Angie's List.

Great job all around!  Always professional.  Always responsive.   A large section of our driveway was damaged due to a fault in the nearby drain system belonging to the city.  Robert arranged his schedule to be here to communicate with the city about the resolution of the drain.  He removed the large mid-section of driveway by hand to ensure that the adjacent sections of the driveway and the lawn were not damaged.  Once the city's drain issue was resolved, Robert completed the new section of the driveway.  Looks perfect!  Reasonable price.  Dependable.  Easy to work with.  Will always call on Robert Riccardo, Inc for any concrete or paver needs.

I was contacted by Robert 03/06 and he explained that he had lost my number and his answering machine had cut off most of the number I left on his. He stated he would do the job this week  . I explained I understood his problem and that i would correct my previous review as soon as the job is done.see above - Robert completed the job as promised on 03/12/16 and did an excellent job as indicated above. I would definitely use him again
