C R Concrete

The CR Concrete Construction team recently replaced our 33-year-old driveway. The team's quality of work, integrity, and professionalism were outstanding, and we highly recommend them.

Prompt. Respectful. Price was reasonable. We're very happy with their work.

They made everything so simple. They did everything how they said they were going to do and when they said they were going to do it. Their quote was very reasonable. They were very accommodating and made great suggestions about the design. I strongly recommend them.

Super!!  I have used CR before and the work is always of very high quality.  Carlos and his team are very professional.  His work is not cheap but it is also not the most expensive.  He is very fair and stands by his work.  If he does not believe the quality is up to par he will re do it without question. He even pointed something out that I did not notice.  He ripped it out and redid the next day.  I have recommended Carlos to several friends and they have thanked me for the referral.

We were having a new porch built. Carlos removed our existing porch and poured a new porch and steps. Carlos was very attentive to details, ensuring the work was done to his high expectations. Carlos was always responsive to questions and kept us up to speed throughout the process.

Update July 2013.

I filed a complaint at the BBB and the Ohio Attorney General's office due to the fact Carlos Ricardo had done a very poor job. 

Both agencies contacted CR Concrete (Carlos Ricardo) multiple times for a period of approximately 2 months.

Mr. Ricardo did not even have the decency to reply to either agencies complaint.

Since Carlos did not reply, the case was closed by the BBB and Attorney General.

I was told I would have to hire a private attorney to pursue the matter.

That certainly speaks for itself that Mr. Ricardo seems to lack character and has unethical business principles.

I did get another estimate from another concrete company to fix the poor workmanship that Ricardo had done.

The estimate was $2,700.00.

I would never recommend Carlos Ricardo for anything.

Chose another company.

He was the least expensive of all of our estimates. Prompt. Professional. Very happy with the quality. Would use in the future.

I still have to deal with putting dirt in between the lawn and the curb, and I didn't expect to have to do that. There is a gap in between the lawn and the driveway. Otherwise, they were OK. When the work was performed, they were timely and friendly.

C R did some concrete work on our house before we purchased it. We ran into their crew working on a neighbor's house and jokingly complained about a crumbling step in our concrete porch stairs - the kids played on the railing embedded in the concrete until it broke off the corner of the step. Carlos said he didn't pour these steps (and they are obviously much older than the new patio that he did do) but offered to remove and re-pour the bottom step for $100 since his crew was already on the street for another job. They came as promised and took care of it. I plan to hire C R for concrete work in the future.

Estimate delivered within hours of initial inquiry. Work begun two business days after execution of contract. Completed two days later. on time, on budget, done.

He was very professional, he came and checked on his workers all the time. They were very good workers, they would make sure every brick that they laid was perfect was levelers. There price was the best. They cleaned up everything around there work.

They were great. I really needed to do this and was glad for the chance to have it done efficiently and the same day!

Carlos and his crew did a great job. They started sooner than I expected and knocked it out over two days (one to remove, one to pour). The new curb looks great and is a smooth transition to our driveway.

IN APRIL, I NOTICED AN APPROX. 10 FT LONG HAIRLINE CRACK. AT THIS POINT, I CONTACTED AND SPOKE TO THE OWNER, WHO PROMISED TO COME OUT AND TAKE A LOOK. WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING SINCE EVEN THOUGH I'VE CALLED ALMOST ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH THE OWNER'S ASST. IN LATE MAY, WHO PROMISED TO PASS THE WORD ALONG, BUT I HAVE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THE OWNER. NOW THE CRACK IS NO LONGER A HAIRLINE, BUT FULL-FLEDGED AND LARGER. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE OWNER TO COME OUT AND RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM BASED ON THE WARRANTY.

Very prompt, courteous, good-quality work, conscientious, professional. Only complaint was that the work took longer than expected (started on 6/29, ended 7/5). Should have only taken 48 hours, however was started on a Thursday, and he hadn't gotten the city's permit ahead of time.

Carlos Rodrigo came up and you could plainly tell that he did not like dealing with women. He just kept babbling about the contract. He wrote the notes on the back of a business card.

I contacted the company and coordinated a quote for cleaning and sealing our concrete driveway. Carlos said he would leave a quote at my home, but never provided one.

They did the work alright but the contractors had fight amongst themselves and put me in the middle of it. I did not like that but everything else was ok.

Excellent experience. The price was reasonable, they showed up when promised and did very good work. Carlos Ricardo was very pleasant to work with as were the guys on his crew.

THE JOB WAS COMPLETED IN THE TWO DAYS DESCRIBED. HIGH QUALITY CONCRETE PAD WAS INSTALLED AND MADE A VERY NICE CHANGE TO OUR HOME! IN ADDITION, CARLOS USED HIS BOBCAT EQUIPMENT TO REMOVE TREE STUMP DEBRIS THAT WAS IN THE FRONT YARD. HE DID NOT CHARGE FOR THIS, AND JUST ADDED IT TO WHAT HE HAULED AWAY AFTER THE JOB! WHAT AN 'ABOVE AND BEYOND' POSITIVE EXPERIENCE!

INITIAL RETURN CALL WAS RECEIVED IN A DAY OR TWO. HOWEVER, HE DIDN'T COME AS EXPECTED. WHEN I CALLED HE APOLOGIZED, AND SAID HE'D COME THE FOLLOWING DAY. AGAIN, HE DIDN'T COME AS EXPECTED BECAUSE I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE (ANOTHER WEEK GONE BY).

EXCELLENT SERVICE. THE ENTIRE JOB WAS COMPLETED IN 2 DAYS. THE COMPLETED DRIVEWAY, SIDEWALK AND PORCH STEPS ARE BEAUTIFUL. CARLOS RICARDO AND HIS CREW DID SOME NICE EXTRA TOUCHES LIKE ADDING A FLAIR TO THE END OF THE SIDEWALK, ADDING TOPSOIL AND GRASS SEED TO FILL IN THE AREA THAT WAS EXCAVATED, AND NICE FINISHING TOUCHES ON THE CONCRETE. I AM TOTALLY PLEASED WITH THE FINAL PRODUCT AND THE PROCESS.
