Luca Antonelli Contracting

He did not put any silicone between the cement slabs, only extension joints flashed with the cement slabs supposedly 4 inches thick. With the rain the extension joints got soaked, damaged and the line between the cement slabs became deep. When I asked him to come over and explain how this could be fixed, he found every excuse to tell me that I had not paid for silicone joints, to which I replied that every cement job that I have seen has silicone joints and that silicone joints seem to the standard and the way that every job is done. After many request by text and phone, I left him a message this morning that I needed him to tell me how to fix his cement joints, and that otherwise I would have to look elsewhere for help and information. He called me back, screaming and telling me that I have to pay him to come over, as soon as I started requesting that I need to know what to do, he started insulting me, he told me 3 or 4 times that I was a very /very bad old lady...and I replied that I was going to channel 7 may be they will tell me where I can get help and information's. To everyone out there, never hire him, because if you need him to fix his work later, you will be insulted. He also did a smaller job for me just a little before ,where I'm having some issues with my neighbor,because it is a community driveway and he did the same type of job and the separation of the 2 parts is doing the same thing and it is the hole length of the property. So very bad job and very bad attitude.

After talking with Luca I had new brick steps and half of my back yard recemented. His prices were reasonable and his work was perfect. Being in the construction industry watching him and his men working was impressive. I would recommend home to anyone.

This is my 2nd review on the concrete work that Luca Antonelli did for me, after 1.5 yrs. Two bitter winters passed, and the sidewalk concrete is as good as new! I am so satisfied with the quality of the concrete work, that I recommend Luca Antonelli to anybody who needs to find somebody to do similar jobs. Luca Antonelli Rocks!

I recently had a walkway re-done for a property I manage. Initially, I consulted 5-6 Mason/Concrete contractors. Some guaranteed "competitive pricing", supervision of all onsite work, 1 year guarantee minimum etc. I also consulted Luca Antonelli from Luca Antonelli Contracting. His price "seemed" abit more up-market than what my partners were looking for. That being said, I have used Luca Antonelli in the past for private work. His results were SOLID. This time, however my partners were more concerned with price & regrettably I hired someone else. Making a long story short, that "other" contractor (so-called) operated out of a small van using sub-par equipment & day labor unacquainted with the skill set needed for professional concrete work (eg forms construction, pitch measurements, troweling, edging, broom finishing etc). The job was a total disaster! It was one of those "You Cannot Make This Up" scenarios. Since this was my responsibility, I called in the cavalry & hired Luca Antonelli to re-do the work. My only regret was not hiring him from the outset. Luca showed up with all the requisite equipment needed: Bobcat, Truck, Container to haul crushed stone for the substructure, a mosaic of Finishing Trowels & all the lumber needed for proper "forms" construction. His employees are first rate concrete/mason artisans & work with him for many years. Luca supervised from Start to Finish. The job lasted 1.5 days. I told Luca that "the form work itself was so perfect, it's a shame to remove it". Bottom line, the results were STELLAR!! Professional!! Crisis averted!! Lesson learned!!! So if you ever find yourself in a beef about pricing, please remember my story. At the very least, when you think of hiring a Contractor, see a sample of the Contractors work onsite. Do not be beguiled into a contract by so-called competitive pricing. The quality of the work is at stake & competitive pricing many times equates to low ball pricing & poor results! Experience counts!! Experience actually saves you more later on down the line. This is where Luca Antonelli outperforms. The object lesson for all reading my review can best be summed up in the old axioms: "You Get What You Pay For" & " You Buy Cheap You Buy Twice". I highly recommend Luca Antonelli & would never think twice again!

Luca Antonelli Contracting did an excellent job for me! They are quick, fast, and very professional. They started the work on the day they promised, and finished it in half a day. I am very satisfied with the quality of the concrete work they did. Definitely will use them again. 

Started when he said he would and finished the project when he said he would. Cleaned up at the end and did not leave me a mess.

Everything was done perfectly and also in a timely manner

It went great. They were on time, they were professional and it really looks great. He was here himself on both days with the crew. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely hire them again.

Extremely well. Luca has very well operated crew. He was on-site both days of the project. Very efficient operation and reliable. Luca worth every cent you spend with him.

.

Luca was responsive from the outset - he showed up when he said he would to look at the job; then sent me a picture of his work along with the estimate.  Once chosen, he told me he could do the job the following week, and he did complete the project in two days.
His crew and son worked well and efficiently and cleaned up the project as well. The steps look great and Luca was on site both days.  He pointed out a couple of other projects he'd like to do, and when I'm ready I would certainly use him again.
Luca was professional and responded to all questions, and called up afterwards to see what I thought of his work.
I would recommend him highly -  he explained clearly what he was doing, and made sure there were no surprises.
He knows concrete and seems very reliable.  I was surprised he wouldn't guarantee his work, but he explained that the weather might get very cold and could affect his work.

He was friendly, prompt, and started work within a few days of calling him to accept his bid.  He and his team worked quickly and delivered everything promised.  I would highly recommend him.

The work on my property also included replacing and creating the entire front stairway to the house.
Mr. Antonelli worked with us and offered several options as to materials that could be used.  As he worked he pointed out several other options that would make the job look better.  He was not looking to just add additional cost to the project, just options on how to make the project more esthetically pleasing, as well as, better construction.  i.e.: one wall that was taken down, did not have a footing, (perhaps the reason for it cracking?), so it was suggested that a footing be poured before the wall was replaced.  Also instead of just a cinder-block wall, Mr. Antonelii suggested a brick wall, and he would be able to match the style of the brick used on the house. 
He and his crew were always on time, and cleaned up each day.  Even though Mr. Antonelli would leave the work-site from time to time, he was always there to assure the any brick work was done correctly ( as he did most of it).
All in all, I am very happy with the work done and would recommend him to others.  In fact, we are having him come back to do more work.   He does quality work.

Great.  Beautifully done.  This is the second time we've brought Mr. Antonelli on to do work, and he is truly an artist.  He replaced several large sidewalk panels and completely replaced our driveway.  He redesigned the layout of the driveway so that it had a more gradual slope up from the street, that it was sloped so drainage was better, and in general looked terrific.  The quality of the concrete he uses is evident.  I was looking at my neighbors concrete and there are stones and bits of gravel showing.  The concrete Mr. Antonelli uses is as smooth as silk.  He and his crew arrived when they said they would, did the work in one day, and cleaned up completely.  I'm so pleased.

Hired Antonelli Contracting to replace cement from house to curb. From the initial meeting to the finished job, Luca and his company were first class all the way. Had gotten 4 estimates, Luca was neither the lowest nor the highest. During the estimate meeting, Luca was on time and took time to explain price, quality of materials etc. Also, he covered issues he was concerned about relating to our iron gate and fence and that it might need follow up post concrete pour. Upon acceptance of the estimate, our job was sceduled within the week. Of the 3 day project, they were early 2 days and on time the third. The crew was professional, courteous and fast. They REALLY knew what they were doing. They took care of tricky details related to protecting the 2' diameter tree at the sidewalk and making sure all water shed away from house which has several compound angles. The details of where seams and expansion joints were placed were extremely well thought out. His experience really shows. And to our suprise an issue with our gate, that had been poor for years, they took the time to correct. Upon completion of this job we were so pleased with the outcome, that we hired them for a second major replacement of our alleyway and rear stairs. This also included pouring a secondary foundation wall under the alleyway to address below grade water issues we were having in our basement. Again, the price, quality and professionalism was exceptional. From our experience, he also did 2 other projects on our block. Each one has individual variations that are unique to their home fronts. Luca Antonelli and his company really personify "old school" know your job and take pride in your work. We never knew we could be this happy about cement!

It went very well. It took them under a week to complete. They came when they said they would come and finished when the said they would finish.

I hired Luca Antonelli to re-do steps and a landing. I am very happy with the work Luca and his crew provided. He was patient when I inquired about matching a certain style of brick I was looking for. I was initially looking limestone steps, but Luca educated me about the differences between limestone and granite. I ended going with granite steps, which cost a bit more, but Luca was willing to give me a good deal. He and his crew showed up on the day he said they were, and finished the job on the day he said they would. They had no problem with me letting watch them work. I was very happy with the finished steps and landing, and the  worksmanship is top notch in my opinion.  His crew cleaned up at the end of each workday. Luca and his crew seven showed up the day after they finished the job to wash down the steps and landing and clean everything with muriatic acid. I would highly recommend him to anyone I will definitely hire him for other projects.

Their work on our sidewalks were beyond description.  From the original interview with Mr, Antonelli, through the description of his work, to final results, experienced workman, professional equipment, incredible neatness  when leaving the area, the precision in every action of the operation.  The results of our sidewalk are truly beautiful.
They did a GREAT JOB!
Thank you Mr. Antonelli and A Special Crew of Men.

He did an outstanding job - he is a true artisan.  The stairs were replaced with concrete centers surrounded by granite - very beautiful.  The brickwork was done very professionally with straight joints and neat masonry.  All our neighbors came by to admire the work he did.  Mr. Antonelli was there every single day to supervise the work; one day his son was there too.  He consulted with us each step of the way to make sure we were happy with any changes he was making to the original lay-out.  Once the work was complete he cleaned the area.  He also recommended someone to replace the iron railings which had deteriorated.  We would use him again and recommend him to anyone.

see above.it,s better to consult more than one parson so that you are aware of what is needed and estimated cost.

Luca Antonelli is truly a contractor that stands above the rest. He is courteous, knowledgeable and works with the customer. We called him to get an estimate on having new brick steps and landing built. He was always prompt in returning calls. We hired him and he started and finished when promised. The work performed by Luca, his son and crew is of high quality and the price is very reasonable.

Mr. Luca was quick in his response for an estimate. He came that evening. He was polite and professional. He gave me options, did not recommend what I did not need. Areas of the property I was concerned about he assured me did not need work at this time. He did not take advantage of my ignorance regarding mason work. He was able to start the job within a few days. He completed it in two days and was right back when it set to finish cleaning and removing the wood supports. He worked out a payment plan that I was comfortable with. He was flexible with all aspects of the job, just interested in making sure I was pleased with his work.

Luca came within a day or two of my call to give me an estimate. He and his crew arrived the following week, and completed the entire job within three days. The work went very smoothly despite the bad weather. The men were especially good about cleaning up.
