About us

FAR from Average Construction is a company that was designed to put the consumer first. My motto is I will not take on a job if I can not handle it. I am all for making the customer happy and making sure my quality of work is top of the line. I have been in business for a little under a year but, I have over 13 years experience in this business and know what works and what does not. I specialize in concrete whether it's a sidewalk redo or a design like stamp concrete if I can do it than it will be done. I also can do paver design and remodel such as kitchen and bath. I will work with you to ensure you get the best work possible and can be very flexible in terms of pricing.

Fernando was great and professional job was done as described. I will save his number for any future masonry job that I need done.

Our stamped concrete patio and walkway, about 600 square feet total, came out beautiful, just as we wanted. We needed to get this job done quickly. After wasting time contacting contractors and getting no callbacks and missed estimate visits we hooked up with Fernando thru Angi. Pleasure to work with, seemed very fair and accommodating, and had a signed contract and deposit within 5 days, work started 10 days later and completed in 3 days. Very satisfied.

Unfortunately, we have to amend our review from 4/17/21 (Bob S). Not long after the job was finished, we noticed a small piece of concrete that had cracked. We called Fernando and he said that he would come back and fix it. He never showed up. We called again, same thing. We called again, same thing. Now the patio looks terrible because the sealer that he said would last at least 3-4 years, didn't even last two. Once again, Fernando apologized and said he would be here as recently as last Thursday, but he was a no show. We are in the process of hiring a new contractor to see if the patio can be salvaged. The company's name is "Far above average.?" It should be called "Far below average."

I got many estimates from all kinds of stamps concrete companies, but chose to go with far from average construction, because of the confidence they bought, the knowledge and honesty of the company. I felt I could trust them to do a good job. The job has been done and I can't ask for any better,

Fernando and his team did a beautiful job on my stamped concrete patio. It was completed in one weekend and they were very professional throughout the entire project. Communication was great from start to end and they cleaned up nicely when they finished. I would definitely recommend a stamped concrete patio from Far From average Construction. They offer great customer service, much knowledge of the work, and good value. It was worth every penny !!

It went fantastic. Fernando was so helpful picking the best stamp for the area and design. His crew was great. Couldn't have gone "smoother"

It took over a year to finish the project. Once he was paid, it took at least 25 calls and requests to get him to finish the project. Then a year later the retaining wall started falling apart. Fernando said he'd fix it. It's been three months. He's given me several dates over the last three months and never showed. Now he won't answer my calls or texts.
Response from FAR from Average Construction

"Good Morning I am so sorry that you feel this way, your original job was contracted back in 2020. Communication was very poor on both parties. I came out and contractually finished what was needed. It has not been 3 months that you have been trying to get me to come out it’s only been two. We recently have been in communication and you were told that the situation would be reviewed and rectified. That communication was actually yesterday. Again I apologize for any miscommunication but the work was contractually completed however like stated in our initial conversation yesterday it will be rectified to the best of my ability."

He didn't do what I asked him to d, he didn't seal it and there's still water coming in my garage.
Response from FAR from Average Construction

"You asked me to power wash your garage floor and to seal it. That’s exactly what I did if there’s water coming in from the wood between the garage floor and the actual garage that’s beyond my control and my scope of work I’m sorry that the water still comes in but I did what you contracted me for."

Great job. After having them do my patio in the back, I decided to call them back and hire them to do my driveway. As expected, the final result was awesome. Great company; I definitely recommend them.

The whole process was extremely easy. Fernando and the guys were extremely responsive and professional. They also were able to complete the job quickly so we could enjoy our new stamped concrete patio for the summer. The patio was smaller than we originally asked for but Fernando refunded us the difference without any questions. We will definitely use him again and recommend highly.

Professional and well organized crew. Removals, pouring new concrete and stamping was done in perfect timing. In overall, finish result exceeds the expectations. I would definitely recommend FAR from Average Construction to anybody.

I was hoping to leave a higher review, but unfortunately I cannot. Job was bad from the start. Instead of rescheduling the job due to rain, Fernando and his team went forward. It rained and a portion of the job was ruined. To his credit, he offered to either redo or a credit for the work. Disposal was delayed due to the dumpster company canceling the job. Not Fernando's fault, but he didn't call to confirm with the company. Since the job was mainly completed and only a small nonessential portion needed remained, I paid the balance, trusting him to come back and complete it. Of course, he has cancelled 3 times. Each time I had to call him. At this point, he has not responded to my calls or texts. Courtesy and assurances of "standing by my work" etc disappeared after the last check was cashed. NEVER pay in full until ALL of the job is complete. If the contractor has an issue with that, move on. The work was mostly done, and the part I care about most (luckily) looks good, but time will tell. I had a couple other projects I was considering this company for, but I will have to search elsewhere. Use at your own risk.
Response from FAR from Average Construction

"Mr [Member Name Removed] I did not cancel on you because I wanted to I got into an accident and I’ve called you I need to get another vehicle to be able to stop by and put 2 bags of cold patch asphalt to make the ramp for you if you gonna leave 2 star review for that than that’s fine sir I cannot help if I was in an accident but I assure you I will be over there ASAP to put in the cold patch asphalt thanks"

The patio came out great. My wife and I are very pleased with the results. The design, texture and coloring look fantastic. Fernando and his team showed up on time and knocked out an 800 Sq ft stamped concrete patio in 7 hours. Very professional! I highly reccommend Far From Average for your concrete work.

Everything went fine until I made the final payment (before the last bit of work was completed). Since then, I've waited an entire year for Fernando to come back and finish the job. It is still incomplete! And one issue is a safety hazard. My property has had a safety hazard for an entire year because I've been pushed back over and over and over again.
Response from FAR from Average Construction

"Per our conversations this was resolved and taken care of, unfortunately covid-19 has had an impact on everything so things have been slower than normal to be completed. It is our priority to keep the client as well as staff safe. Communication was key in having this completed as I explained when you had reached out. Again our sincerest apologies for not meeting up the standards that we hold true. We value your honesty and hope in the future you consider us again."
