I had good experience working with Ruben. He was professional, easy to work with, and seemed honest. I am happy to have used their services and will not hesitate to contact them again for any future work or passing their name around for a good company. Thank you for doing a nice job on my patio and making this experience painless!

Ruben was very professional.  He arrived exactly on time to provide me with an estimate, and his estimate was the lowest of 3 estimates I received.  He kept me informed of when he would be able to start work and of the status of the permit from the village.  Once the work started, the crew did a beautiful job.  I am very pleased with how it looks and the work that was done.

First, Ruben, is very professional and responsive.  He is punctual and respectful of other people's time.  The cost was very fair and the job was done in a very timely fashion even with a few rainy days.  He met AND EXCEEDED all of our expectations and the patio turned out fantastic!  I would absolutely 100% refer Ruben and his team in the future!  Thank you Ruben!!

Best experience ever! I had the work done last fall. Ruben found a contractor to jack the garage up so he could replace the cracked floor and footings. Most other contractors just wanted to bulldoze and start over. The garage was in decent shape andbthe job turned out fantastic. He also removed and replaced the entire concrete driveway. Ruben is very professional and wonderful to work with. I definitely recommend him highly.

Everything went well and I'm very happy with the job that was done.  Ruben helped me decide how to setup the patio layout and worked with me to change it the day of the job because of a slight hill in my backyard.  He poured one area a little deeper to support my hot tub pitched it away from the tub while keeping the tub area level.

I am very happy with the way the garage and drive look.  It's only been a month, so I cannot speak to how well it all will hold up over time, but have no reason to think there will be a problem. 
Ruben was very thorough and professional, from the time he provided the estimate through the completion of the job.  All I had to do was clear out the garage, and secure the permit from the village (which basically entailed two visits to Village Hall, one to submit the application, the other to pick up the permit).  He and his team showed up at 7 am on the designated start day, and the work followed the schedule to a 'T.'  I didn't have to be at home, basically just had to leave access to the garage.  Ruben took care of everything, including a little hitch when the village pre-pour inspection requested some changes, but we didn't find the inspector's report until after the floor was poured.  Ruben went to the village and straightened out the issues, which turned out mainly to be some miscommunication.  The work was basically completed in 4 days, with forms removed and the areas along the driveway backfilled.  Ruben even cut and refitted some stones in our front walk that had to be removed to put in the concrete forms, then were a little too large to fit back into place. 
Overall, really excellent work, done in a timely fashion, and at a good price.  Since I was not home while the work crew was there, Ruben would give me updates by email each evening.  I would recommend this group to anyone needing this sort of concrete work.

Outstanding!  Ruben helped find a carpenter who would jack the garage up so the concrete could be replaced without demolishing the garage and replacing it.  He and his crew did an outstanding job on putting in a new foundation wall and then replacing the floor of the garage.  It looks great and they did a fantastic job doing the job well.
Ruben was a pleasure to deal with all the way through this project.  He and his crew were organized, efficient, very skilled at their job, and courteous at all times. I would definitely recommend Dave?s Concrete as well as use them in future projects.

Ruben was wonderful to deal with.  Very informative, professional and communicated well.  We had to wait a bit for the weather due to all the rain but I would much rather wait and make sure the job was done right which was what Ruben also wanted.  I would definitely use them again.  They had the best price and did a fantastic job!

I called Dave Concrete for an estimate and I spoke with Ruben. He was very polite and professional. He came and gave me an estimate. The job wasn't a big job but needed to be done because the sidewalk had separated from the stoop creating an opening for animals to hide.  I needed the step added to help my elderly family members who had problems stepping upon the stoop that was too high because of the sidewalk sinking away from the foundation. The cost was a little higher than I thought it would be but Dave Concrete was willing to do the job. They came and broke up the area of concrete that needed to be done to form a step. They poured the concrete, smoothed it out, etc.  They roped it off with yellow tape so that nobody would walk on it. We stayed off of it for a few days to make sure it was completely dry. I didn't have any problems with the work that they did. I would hire them again to do other work.

They were great, they were very careful with the neighbors yard.  They raised the height of the walk to the correct level at all the entrances.  We were very satisfied with the end result and the price was the best out of all the estimates we received.  The crew was very polite and made sure my Mother-in law  could get in and out of the house during the entire process.  We would use Dave's again.

Dave was very professional and did some of the labor himself. He seemed to enjoy working with the equipment. He was careful to not touch any of the nearby shrubbery. The stamped concrete ribbons look very good and add a lot to the driveway. I was home during the project and made some suggestions as it progressed. Dave was receptive to my ideas and made changes as needed. The workers were professional and made sure that they prepared the grounds for the landscaping that we would be doing afterward. I was surprised that the sealing of the driveway and ribbons were included in the price. His price was a few thousand dollars less than two other quotes we had gotten, and the workmanship was very good.

Update April 2012:
Unfortunately, our beautiful driveway began to crack in two different places within six months of the installation.  One crack extends 3/4 of the way up the drive.  It is starting to widen.  The other crack is beginning to widen also.  It's like looking at a georgeous vase with a crack down the side. The contract stipulates that cracks are not covered under the warranty.  I believe the reason it cracked was due to not having any steel mesh reinforcement and a concrete thickness of 3 inches instead of 4.  Other proposals, which cost more, included the steel reinforcement and 4" thick driveway.  Apparently there is a reason why Dave's prices are so much cheaper.  When I asked Dave about the reinforcement, he told me that the concrete companies put fibers in the concrete mix and they told him that the fibers acted as reinforcement.  I accepted that, but apparently it  isn't true.  Dave is honest and the workmanship is good, but the bids are lower because the quality of materials is lower, IMHO.  Dave did come by to look at the cracks and told us they probably wouldn't get any bigger and sealing the concrete would help.  Meanwhile, they get wider as time goes by.
