Clarence and his crew did a great job. Upon contacting him, he came out for an estimate in 2 days. The job was a pretty small job so I was surprised he would do it. Three other contractors stated they would do the job but no one ever showed up. A week after the estimate, I got a call with 2 days notice. The crew reviewed with me on exactly what I wanted. Offered a few suggestions and completed the work in one day. I would not hesitate in using them again.
Description of Work: Added an additional 18 X 5 walkway from a driveway to a back porch. Also installed another 15 X 6 pad for a stair landing from our deck to existing concrete pad. All pads tied into existing concrete pads.

Although the reviews were slightly lower, I hired Gray and Son because the other company that was to give an estimate never showed or called to cancel. Communication from Kay in the office was top notch, and Clarence kept everything moving along, in spite of a little rain delay. The new walk was leveled nicer than the original! 10/10 would hire again!

I hired Gray and Sons to replace 208 feet of sidewalk around a home I own near UC. The city mandated that I replace the broken sidewalk blocks that border my corner property and quoted me an outrageous price to have them do it. I contacted Gray and Sons and Clarence Gray did the entire 208 ft as well as replace my 125 year old front steps for less money and better quality. I have since hired him to replace a driveway at a house I own in Mt. Washington as well as repair a 50 ft long stockade fence and repair my cracked concrete front porch. He is also replacing the front steps and some of the sidewalk on my personal residence. I would highly recommend Gray & Sons for your concrete projects or any other renovation or remodeling work. Clarence provides a broad set of construction services.

Loved the driveway and the walk! However, there was concrete slopped all over the brick on the front of the home where the porch meets the front door. We called Clarence Gray and he said he would be out to clean it. After 5 months, we sent him a fax reminding him that the concrete was still not cleaned up with accompanying photos. Fast forward to many calls to him with repeated promises, and 8 years, when we noticed water seeping into our foundation wall directly under the front porch. Contractors found a crushed drain pipe from overpour from the porch and sidewalk installation. We sent Clarence Gray a certified letter with photos requesting the broken tile drain be replaced, and the crack in the foundation be repaired at Gray and Son's expense. He finally called and said he would not make the repairs, as it had been 8 years. We told him we took action as soon as we noticed the water seepage; and that the plumber said it could take years to seep into the foundation wall. He still did nothing.
Description of Work: New concrete driveway, stamped concrete walk and porch.

We did not receive any of this information in a fax as stated in the review. I have always gone back and fixed any problems that any customer may have had....that's what I have always done. I told this person we would not go back and fix something after 8 years. This should have been addressed immediately if there was a problem. We were a member of the BBB and never once was there anything ever sent to them nor brought up to them if this was an issue.

Description of Work: They replaced my blacktop drive way with concrete. The contract called for 5" of concrete. I have pictures of the dried concrete and it is less than 3" The drive is about 2 years old and is now cracking and chipping all over. When I found the dep't of the concrete I called the owned and after a heated conversation (he only wanted to know if I had a warranty problem only) he told me to F* K OFF. and I hung up on him. I would not use him to do anything for me.

This is a flat out lie...again...this review doesn't even make sense. He said the driveway is 2 years old and starting to crack and on the review he said it was done in 2014......

If Roger Gray is part of this organization, run, don't just walk away. He broke dozens of promises to complete the work, drug it out from late July to Thanksgiving, rarely returned phone calls, destroyed my yard, tried to convince me that yellow and red were the same colors, and never sealed the finished product. If this is not Roger, then I have no experience with this company but Roger was based at the time in the same area.

The owner Clarence was very good at telling us what would look good and how they would do it. We had to pay half of the invoice up front with no work done. We did not hear anything from them for about two weeks so I tried calling Clarence and he could not be reached. Two weeks later still no contact or response from him, the whole time his receptionist is saying they will be out this week. Basically played this game with them for the whole month of June and July. They finally come out end of July and what Clarence said they were going to do and what we thought was going to be done were pretty different. Bottom line was he did what we thought we were going to get and paid about $1500 more. The work was very nice but the hassle and headache we had to go through for two months was frustrating. We basically were in limbo the whole summer and had to cancel vacation and graduation party waiting for them to show up.
Description of Work: They were to pour two seperate sections in our pool area with aggregate concrete, remove a section of stamped concrete(to replace a leaky skimmer) and rework a section of concrete under a deck. I was given an estimate of approximately $6000 at end of May with work to begin the first week of June.

I DID WORK FOR THIS CUSTOMER AND WHAT I FIND KIND OF FUNNY ABOUT HIS MEMBER COMMENT IS THAT I AM A MEMEBER OF THE BBB AND HAD THERE BEEN AS MANY PROBLEMS AS HE STATES WITH HIS JOB THEN HE WOULD HAVE CONTACT THE BBB. NOT ONE TIME HAD HE DONE THAT. I HAD PURCHASED WEIGHTS AND A GYM THAT DIDN'T WORK FROM THIS CUSTOMER LONG AFTER HIS JOB WAS DONE AND HAD FIXED THINGS ON HIS JOB THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY COMPANY. THIS CUSTOMER HAD PROBLEMS WAY BEFORE MY COMPANY EVER CAME ALONG AND IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH GRAY AND SON. Sometimes weather is a factor in starting and delaying work or any jobs that are open before we start any other work....We always reach out to our customers to let them know. we don't always call day to day. It is stated in my contract that weather permitting and weather being a factor is out of our control. Also, we have always got 1/2 down on our jobs when the contract is signed and we still do to this day and we willallways do that as long as we are in business....sorry. Sometimes we have to special order materials for a certain job and it also holds a spot for the work whether it starts the next day or 3 months down the road.....It'[Member Information Removed] worked for us all this time that we have been in business.

Mainly because of price, we decided to use another contractor. In addition, the sales rep did not seem very interested in the job. He seemed to be in a hurry and was not very willing to take extra time to answer my questions while at my house to provide an estimate. I was concerned for how responsive he would be if issues came up during the job. Estimated cost was $8,900.
Description of Work: Estimate was for removal of an existing concrete patio (12'x14') and installation of a stamped concrete patio (approx. 600 sq. ft.)

I AM ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL WHEN I GIVE AN ESTIMATE. I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS CUSTOMER FEELS LIKE I WAS RUSHED, PERHAPS BECAUSE I WASN'T THE CHEAPEST ESTIMATE THIS CUSTOMER RECEIVED HE ALREADY HAD HIS MIND MADE UP THAT HE WASN'T INTERESTED IN MY COMPANY DOING HIS JOB. I'M NOT SURE BUT I WOULD NOT TAKE MY TIME WHICH IS VERY VALUABLE TO TRAVEL TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE AND NOT SEEM INTERESTED OR RUSHED THROUGH THE ESTIMATE, MAKES NO SENSE. SO I WILL MAKE SURE I KEEP THIS IN MIND EVERY TIME I GIVE AN ESTIMATE TO BE EVEN THAT MORE ATTENTIVE TO MY CUSTOMERS.

They led me to believe the liner would not need to be taken out. When their worker came, he said I needed a new liner and pool, and they just happened to have the pool guy with him. The concrete is now cracking and it is not a year old.

IN THE DEFENSE OF MY COMPANY, THIS LADY HAD NO THING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. SHE HAD A FINE JOB. THE ONLY PROBLEM I CAN REALLY SAY THAT I FIND WITH MY COMPANY IS BATTLING THE WEATHER. WE SCHEDULE JOBS AND IF IT RAINS OR WHATEVER MOTHER NATURE BRINGS OUR WAY, IT INTERFERES WITH MY JOBS AND I WILL NOT POUR IN THE HIGH HEAT OR RAIN AND THEREFORE IT PUTS ME BEHIND, A LOT OF PEOPLE DO UNDERSTAND THIS WHERE OTHERS DO NOT. I DO ALSO HAVE TO SAY IN THE DEFENSE OF MY EMPLOYEES, NOT ONE OF MY EMPLOYEES HAVE EVER BEEN DISRESPECTFUL IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM TO ANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS. I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO PLEASING SOME CUSTOMERS IN THIS WORLD AND MAYBE THIS IS ONE OF THEM, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE REAL DEAL WAS WITH THIS CUSTOMER. I AM A MEMBER OF THE BBB AND NOT ONE TIME HAVE I EVER HAD A COMPLAINT FILED BY THIS CUSTOMER NOR HAVE I HAD A CALL FROM THIS CUSTOMER EITHER, AND FOR SOMEONE TO GIVE A COMPANY ALL "F'S" AND A BAD COMMENT AS THIS CUSTOMER HAS, THEN WHY PAY FOR THE JOB OR WHY NOT FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB?

I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY SATISFIED WITH GRAY AND SONS. CLARENCE CAME TO MY HOME TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE AND WAS PROMPT AND PROFESSIONAL. THE PRICE WAS HIGHER ONLY BECAUSE I DECIDED TO HAVE THE WORK STAMPED AND STAINED. HIS CREW JUST FINISHED THE JOB AND IT LOOKS GREAT. THEY CLEANED THE JOB SITE WELL, SAVED THE STONES FROM A DECORATIVE WALL FOR RE-USE, AND WERE PROFESSIONAL THROUGHOUT. THEY EVEN PUT DOWN GRASS SEED AND STRAW AROUND THE WORK AREA WHICH I WASN'T EXPECTING. THE ONLY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK I HAVE WAS THAT I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE ON THE SCHEDULE IN 2-3 WEEKS. AT THE END OF THE 3 WEEKS I CALLED THE COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE BEHIND IN SCHEDULING. I WAS THEN PUT ON THE SCHEDULE FOR A WEEK OUT.

I CAN NOT GUARANTEE CONCRETE NOT TO CRACK, IF I COULD THEN I WOULD BE EITHER BANKRUPTED OR A MILLIONAIRE. YOU CAN NOT CONTROL THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF MOTHER NATURE. IF THE CONCRETE CRACKS WITH JUST HAIRLINE CRACKS THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, IF IT OPENS UP TO A CERTAIN SIZE THEN IT CAN BE REPAIRED BY IT TAKE TIME FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. AGAIN THIS KIND OF THINGS ARE USUALLY OUT OF MY CONTROL. I ALWAYS COME BACK TO AT LEAST SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO REPAIR OR RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AS I HAVE HERE.
