Concrete Solutions' work was first-rate: prompt, courteous and competitively priced. The managers and crew were knowledgeable, skilled and highly experienced, and they are genuinely nice people who care about customers. They would be my first choice if I ever needed concrete work again.

I had a lifting driveway due to a tree and need to get part of my driveway removed/replaced. A+ service throughout the entire process. - Arrived at scheduled time for estimate. - Explained in detail what would be done, and was extremely knowledgeable. - Provided a time estimate, and the workers showed up on time and were extremely friendly. - The driveway was done perfectly, and it's been close to 3 months now, and is still perfect. If I need any further concrete work, I will be using them, and will definitely recommend them to friends and family.

They gave a detailed report on what was to be done & how long each task would take before signing the contract. Were prompt to come to our house when they said they would be there both for the contract & the work. We were treated with much respect & professionalism. Both Lou & Bob were great & explained everything to us & always answered any of our questions to our satisfactions. Work was done very well & the contractor was overseeing his workers on the job every day. Cleaned everything up to our satisfaction. They did a great job & we are very pleased.

Excellent. Lou and his brother Tony are two amazing guys. Lou came out to the house measured and gave me the estimate. He explained what they can do, how they do it and price. Everything Lou said him and the company we're going to do was spot on. Tony came out to do the work. He was friendly, and did an amazing job. This company is honest and 100% reliable. Every time I messaged them for anything they responded right away. If any one in the area needs any concrete work done, I recommend this company. Great guys!!

From beginning to end, Lou answered my many questions. He was professional, kind, courteous and very patient in answering my questions. Upon an in person estimate suggestions were made which we welcomed. His brother Tony and crew arrived on time and there again a suggestion was made for our walkway which we agreed to as the design made sense for us. We had the pleasure of meeting Lou and Tony's father as well. This is definitely a family oriented business and as a customer felt that we were treated as one of the family. We are extremely happy with the new sections of our driveway, walkway and the concrete pad for our shed. I highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to hire again nor should anyone else.

The cost to replace the driveway was a lot more than I anticipated, but all estimates came in very close. It is a very large driveway @ 1500 SF. Concrete solutions was the most professional sounding of my 4 estimates. Timing was exactly as promised. Everyone was extremely professional and friendly as they could be. There is no puddling at all on the very large driveway. Looks great!

I had Concrete Solutions come out and did an estimate and got on the schedule. I was so impressed with everyone on the crew and the work they did. Everyone on their crew was very friendly and professional. My sidewalk looks amazing and I couldn't be happier with it. I'm so glad I went with Concrete Solutions. A++++

I called and spoke to Anthony. I requested a quote. He said they really didn't give free estimates. I explained I needed an idea of a price. We discussed the size of the drive way and he gave me an estimate of $3750-$4,000 to remove old, haul away and pour new drive way. There is a small amount of asphalt to haul away, not much at all. I called him back to schedule date to start. His Brother answered and was extremely rude. Asked me same questions Anthony asked. Would not allow me to finish a sentence. Told me that the drive way is in the City of DeBary and would require a permit that would be an additional $500 minimum. I asked if I could pull the permit and he said, "If you pull the permit you are responsible for any and all damages if any of my employee's are injured or damage anything." I said, "so you do not want to do the drive way? He said, "Not for that price" This was the price his brother quoted. Very unprofessional and inconsiderate. Don't waste your time. We were willing to pay by money order upon completion.

This is a very falsified review on this customer.. This customer called My Brother Anthony and said she wanted to move forward with the project on the quote he gave her.. He asked her to call me (LOU) which everyone on here has said I am very courteous and nice to them and very professional. This customer called me and said I want a quote .. I than asked her my brother Anthony gave you a quote and said you want us to move forward. She said No I have 3 other quotes for $3300 and $3200 and $3000.. I than said well a permit is required and we have to pull the permit which BY LAW is not falsified for if a home owner pulls a permit themselves they will be in danger of one getting sued if someone gets hurt or 2 if job is improperly done they are responsible for it. She wanted me to try and match the other guys prices without permits and I said no We were not lowering the price. So she like my other previous bad reviews is upset because 1. I will not break the law and have her pull the permit . 2.I would not lower my price to the other guys because they are cheap. 3. Said we had the job than changed her mind. We have 0 bad reviews for work we have done with a customer. The only bad reviews we have here are from customers who wanted the price that they wanted. Did not want a permit or wanted to pull the permit themselves which I will never do. and 3 she is very upset that We didnt accommodate her needs which were the wrong ones. And once she said we were hired and then changed her mind to try and get us to lower the price. We told her thank you for the inquiry but we are not interested in your demands and our business will not put ourselves at risk or the customer at risk. So if being rude is following policy and laws I will take a bad review once again from a customer that I do not feel comfortable working with. This wasnt even for her house but for her daughters house which she is putting her daughter in a potential lawsuit situation by breaking the construction laws.. The only time a homeowner is allowed and can pull a permit is if he or she does their OWN WORK. They can be accountable for injury or improper work to be done if they hire someone under their permit. This is the law and customers should look into this before making the incorrect decision. We can not protect our customers if they pull a permit and someone gets injured on the job for they are acting as the general contractor. The only bad review this customer should be writing about are the other companies that told her nothing about a permit and 2 may have told her to pull her own permit and put her and her family member at risk...Sergio R.

Concrete solutions was very professional and responsive with our project. I am an absentee owner so it was very important for me to choose someone who would be reliable and do a quality job without constant supervision. They really delivered. Anthony went the extra mile in helping me get the information needed for the permit. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a concrete driveway.

Excellent service, workmanship, and communication from this family-run company. Dad and two sons clearly take pride in what they do. I had previously been told by another contractor that I needed to get a permit (yes, that "I" needed, not he--a liability for me!) which would have added significantly to the cost because I would have had to also buy a survey first. Concrete Solutions called the city on speaker phone with me present and determined that a permit was NOT needed because we were not changing the scope of the driveway, simply replacing what was already there. I am so glad I went with these guys---the work was done beautifully and in a timely fashion for a fair price.

They removed all the roots and poured the new slab. Overall it was a very positive experience. They kept the site reasonable clean and were prompt and communicated well. The only negative was that the job took longer than they originally promised. The job took 5 days, not the 3 days that originally was discussed. We could drive on it on the 6th day.

I filled out the online form on their web site. They called back while I was on the phone. No VM was left. I texted them the next day about 'you called but did not leave a VM. Would like an estimate on repair of my pathway in Debary'. Response: 'Our minimum is $2500'. Wow, what customer service.

Service Provider Response
The customer asked to do a small job and we replied that we have a minimum.. She is upset because we gave her a minimum price like we do for all customers. Explaining to me that she wanted a pathway fixed I responded back to her by text since i was in a meeting as she texted me. We always leave a message on someones voicemail which was the day before and she texted me back. I have no idea why someone would be upset that we responded with we have a minimum as do other companies I call to do work at my own house. She is giving me a bad review because we have a minimum???? Once again I believe that reviews should be done on the job done and not the customer rating you a bad review because you have a minimum for projects. I guess bad customer service now a days is when you tell someone you have a minimum and they feel you should do the work for them at their price. We are a business and we can not work below our minimum charge which once again I explain to customers...She needs a permit and is looking for us to do pricing that accommodates her..Also she said she didnt get a VM but texted me the next day.. Funny know way of knowing it was me if i didnt leave a voicemail...Kathleen A.

Lou made wonderful suggestions about what to replace, what to leave, and worked with me on developing a plan that I could accomplish in stages to meet my budget. His company was professional, punctual, kept in touch throughout the whole process; best customer service I've seen in a long time. We'll be working on Phase 2 next year!

This process was to take 3 days. They called regularly to keep me updated on the start date and called each night to give update on the project and asked my opinion. I asked to have additional work done and they put it into their schedule and gave me a very good price for the additional work. Hurricane Matthew arrived when the work was 3/4 done. They returned and cleaned up the debris and finished the job so professionally. They are very adaptable, communicative and top rated. I wish they did other work that I could hire them for. AAA rating from me. Lou, Tony and their team are awesome. Hire them!!!

Talking to this guy on the phone was such an unprofessional experience. Because I am on a busy street he wanted nothing to do with it; last time we talked (which I had forgotten until he got rude again) he stated he would have to spend hundreds of dollars on 'Bob's Barriers" (not true). I already have the permit!! He was so rude. He reminded me that he had "hundreds" of email requests and was not interested and before I could say another word hung up on me. According to him he has enough work so don't bother calling him. Very very rude!!! I now have 3 other professionals who have no problem quoting this job and who were very polite.

I would first like to say that I was not interested in this job from the beginning due to the homeowners negligence on the way she wanted the job done. This customer was doing everything incorrectly and did not want us to pull permits at all. I explained that it is a liability for a homeowner to pull a permit and that we do not and will not work for someone who will not work with the liability laws and our policy. She kept stating it was her right to pull the permit and to do it her way. And I stated it was also our right to not be interested in her job. I will protect myself and any clients from their improper procedures. if she finds that rude I am ok with one person out of 100+ reviews and customers to say this for I will not jeopardize my company working for someone trying to improperly use the system in a way we do not feel comfortable with.. I also spoke to Juan at the city of Orlando and he said That you have to have a sign and flag people when you shut down a main road and is aware of this now. The homeowner stated that this was not true and Here is his phone number.Juan 407-246-3184 City of Orlando traffic control..He just stated to me that if it isnt done a $5000 fine can be applied. I just spoke to him and I proved once again that this review is negligent and very falsified. If at any time a homeowner pulls a permit it is under the agreement that the homeowner is doing his or her own work and not hiring a contractor that is improperly licensed. I therefore told her this and she got very irate and said i know what I'm doing. I am working to get this review down with Angies list for she is mad that I won't break our policy for her and certain construction laws for her and told her I was not going to work with her and did not want any emails from her because it's not worth the issues that may encounter. The other companies she talks of aren't even on Angies list they are guys who don't care and can not pull permits or can only work for a GENERAL CONTRACTOR. If being rude is obeying the rules than I am guilty as charged. I will also be calling the city to let them know what she is doing. I also did say we were very busy and we're unable to meet her time needs ,,,ONCE! again got upset and talked down to me. Please look at all our reviews and everyone we have worked with saying how wonderful we are and then please make your own decision. She got very loud with me as I continued to call her MAM and then hung up on her after she got very mean .We are a real company and will not take shortcuts. There are 2 licenses in the state of Florida which she also did not understand. The first is one that if you hire a contractor he can pull the permits or work for a home owner who ALSO needs to obtain Extra insurance for if anyone gets hurt its on the homeowner and they can be sued by a employee. The second license which most homeowners do not know about are the ones if someone tells you to pull a permit and you pull the permit they are not allowed to work for you but for a General contractor only. 90% of licenses out there when they tell you to pull the permit are the ones that will hurt the homeowner. I again explained this and got belittled and she acted as if I had no idea about my industry. We are not the top company on Angies list for no reason we are here and have seen Angies list boot a company out recently for not pulling permits and not having proper licenses. Please see below from Angies list blog about permits.. This really underscores the importance of hiring a licensed contractor. Unlicensed contractors can't pull permits for home improvement projects unless it's their own home. Often, when a permit is required but not pulled, it's a sign of a contractor who is cutting corners to save money. And as you unfortunately have learned, that will cost you, the homeowner, more in the long run. FLORIDA STATUE If you as owner obtain permits for the construction job, the law shifts a lot of responsibility and liability for the work away from the contractor and upon you. If you do not complete all of the work yourself, you must supervise the work, have proper extra home insurance and hire licensed trade subcontractors who can work for a home owner and not just a general contractor per their license.(electrician, plumbing, a/c,roof etc..) in accordance with Florida state law. Please remember that as you the homeowner try and hire the right contractor. I the Contractor will also only work for the homeowner who abides by the proper law and our company policies policies. I am very fortunate that in the 7 years with Angies list I have 2 bad reviews for work I didn't do because I did not feel comfortable with the customers decisions on their project. http://andreagoldmanlaw.blogspot.com/2008/07/building-permit-and-homeowner.htmlOther Information
