I did not use them because the guy that I talked with told me that he was very very busy and he would not be able to get to me for a while but he was very helpful. He returned my calls which was an issue with a lot of the concrete contractors that I had contacted. I would give him an 'A' for his overall grade just because of his honesty with me and getting back to me. He also sent me a quote right away.
Description of Work: I got a bid from Concrete Zen in the late summer for concrete work.

It was fine. Their price was good and I was very satisfied with everything. It was free delivery and setup so I just paid for the price of the planters which was $300 each. They were very professional and timely. They provided very good service and good quality products.
Description of Work: I purchased a couple of concrete planters from Concrete Zen probably in 2012. They also delivered the planters and helped me set them up.

They were punctual at delivery time and helped me place the planters exactly where I needed them. The planters of exactly as pictured and as promised. I would certainly buy from them again.

Okay. As I mentioned, a bit tiring to keep calling them when they said they would come out and couldn't.
Description of Work: I called them to reglaze my stamped concrete. They had someone come out and wash the concrete first and his equipment broke so he had to come back and there was some confusion about the glaze type. I thought it would look shinier than it does presently and they left the decision to me. My main concern was that the glaze was not "slick". I would use them again but it seemed a little confusing as to who is doing the work. A young girl kept calling me to cancel and reschedule our appointment and then a guy came out to do the work. It seemed a bit unorganized or they are overwhelmed with business. As I am not a concrete expert, I want all decisions of this nature left to experts, not left up to me. They didn't make any mistakes and the job was well done, just a bit confusing to actually get it down.

Quick response, did not do the kind of job I required. Very informative as to what they did do. Would definitely contact them for future projects where their services were applicable.
Description of Work: Very punctual in responding to email. Work needed not done by this company. Very good at telling me what they can do and areas of expertise, including website reference info. Would definitely call them on other projects. Seemed very interested in my future business.

Concrete Zen provided the most reasonable estimates for the countertops and flooring in our remodel. Unfortunately, the overall estimate for the job was over two times our budget! Needless to say, we didn't proceed with the remodel since someone cut down the money tree in our back yard last month... That said, we would use (and probably still will use) Concrete Zen in the future. Their product and workmanship is wonderful. Nicole has a terrific eye for color and design -- her suggestions for our house were very helpful. And, their price is much more reasonable than their competition. Concrete countertops and floors may be new to Pittsburgh, but they have been around a long time out West. We hope this city catches on to how versatile, beautiful and affordable concrete is.
Description of Work: No work was done (yet).

The designing process was hard for me. They were very patient and very helpful in guiding me through this process. Nicole is great in consulting with colors and the effects you want. She even helped me pick out the colors for my kitchen walls after the counter top was in place. Once we got the design and color down. They went right to work. They invited me out to the workshop during the process so I could see some of the end product. Then I was also asked if I wanted to put help put some of the recycled glass on the piece. I was thrilled that I was able to take part in the piece of art. The installation went smoothly till a piece broke and they got another piece made ASAP. I could not be happier with my beautiful kitchen. Rich made a wonderful cabinet for me and I am the envy of all my friends and neighbors with my new kitchen. I would highly recommend them for any concrete work you are thinking of doing.
Description of Work: I worked with Brian and Nicole for about 6 months deciding on colors and design for my counter top and back splash. I also consulted Rich on making me a cabinet with a concrete top with a wine rack.
