Contacted two other Concrete companies but only heard back from one whose price was much higher than Barbare’s. Was very pleased with his work and he widened an area from the carport to the driveway at a minimum cost. We also had some tree roots in the front yard which he dug up at no additional cost. Could not have been more pleased with his work and crew. Was on time as promised and completed the driveway according to the contract. Was exceptionally pleased and would highly recommend R. J. Barbare’s Concrete Company.

We had numerous contractors look at the issues we had with improper drainage and major cracks in our concrete in order to give their recommendations and solutions. Eric Bolay with Barbare's was the one with the correct solution. Our driveway and sidewalk were not sloped properly. Eric and his crew removed our damaged and severely cracked carport pad and driveway and poured a new drive, carport pad and sidewalk with the perfect slight slope so that the water now runs to a small catch basin. Since the job was done on 3/6/19, we have had heavy rain so are very happy that the work Barbare's did corrected the issue exactly as we needed it to. In addition, we liked the company so much that we decided to have an additional area poured as a parking pad. Eric and all of the crew were here on time and worked efficiently, professionally and cleaned up the area after completion. In two days we had all of the 6" old concrete carport pad, driveway and sidewalk removed, forms placed and new concrete poured the second day. Each person knew their role and worked tirelessly and cohesively, and did an excellent job! We are very pleased to say the least. Eric is the most knowledgeable, professional and punctual person we have dealt with. He goes the extra mile and his objective is quality work and customer satisfaction. It is refreshing to deal with someone that truly knows the business, meets the customer's needs and provides an excellent end result.

Parking pad went in quickly. Higher quality concrete and better overall specs the others we had quotes from.

Barbare's was fairly priced, kept me updated on their schedule, arrived when they said they would, and did great work when they were there. I was extremely satisfied with their work and would definitely use them again in the future.

Punctual and professional. Debris was hauled away, site cleaned up afterwards. Driveway and sidewalk look fantastic! The quality and workmanship are apparent. Beforehand, Mr. Barbare drove us around the neighborhood to view other projects his company did. We also asked a few neighbors with recent driveway replacement for referrals. Barbare Concrete got high reviews, and deservedly so.

Barbares' price and scheduling were competitive and we are extremely pleased with the quality of work and product his company and crew provided. Every time we pull into our driveway or walk out to get the mail, we know we made the right decision. Others in the neighborhood had used and recommended Barbares, and we were able to see some of his previous jobs.

Everything went so smoothly, met their appointments, followed through, answered questions and did great work. We are so pleased with the whole experience and the outcome. The quote was not the cheapest and not the most expensive. Well worth the money and priced appropriately.

I can't say enough good things about Ron Barbare and his company. He is prompt, responsive and takes the time to not only give you a complete estimate on what you requested, but also give you alternates. Their work was complete and the driveway looks wonderful! They showed up when they said they would, did the work and cleaned up completely afterward. I will definitely be using them if we need this type of service again and would recommend them with no hesitation.

These guys do quality work and show up when promised. The did have to schedule me 4-6 weeks out however made a point to call me in that window to let me know that I was still on the schedule. They leveled out the skid steer tracks and leveled everything out with some fill dirt. All I had to do was throw some grass seed down to finish it up. I would definitely recommend them again.

They did an excellent job. They came as scheduled, were careful with the surrounding stonework and vegetation, and completed the job on time. The driveway is much improved both structurally and aesthetically. I was very impressed when Mr. Barbares came to give an estimate for the job. He gave two estimates, since he thought that he could "save" a section of the driveway, and advised our taking the lower estimate.

It went great : The owner ,son and son in law and crews were top notch. The only complaint marketing 101 could be in order for the owner who needs to work on when talking with the one who writes the check.

WONDERFUL!!!!!!! Their work is outstanding. I can't say enough. He was wonderful to work with he listened to our needs and then explained how best to do the work. We had place where others wanted to put in french drain to take care of water to keep it from going in the garage, which is on an incline, which made the cost even more,. But he looked at the slope of the land and everything and figured out how to grade the driveway leading to the garage so that the water would flow across the drive and around the house into the existing drainage system. It is a huge amount of concrete work he told us at the time it was the largest residential one they had done. The driveway looked beautiful when they finished and still does. There are finishing touches such as sidewalk has the picture frame finish which adds a very nice touch to the finished product. We could not be happier with the work that was done. (I waited to do my review. I learned the hard way not to do it too quickly. Then I thought I waited too long, but I was looking at the work today and I need to give a review for this great work.) Thank you

They were excellent!  Since this was a smaller job, they had said they would try to catch it when they had a lull in or break between larger jobs.  They called the day before to ask if we were available Monday, April 18; and we said absolutely.  They arrived on time, worked well as a team, and the job was done and cleaned up by mid-afternoon.  My brother, who used to build homes,  was visiting and said they did a really good job.
