Get matched with top patio repair pros in Taylor, TX

"John and his team did a great job repairing concrete on our driveway. They were quick, priced fairly, and maintained great communication throughout the job. I highly recommend JFB for any concrete work you might need."

"Very efficient and good people."

"New 2-story deck missed the mark across code, Trex guidelines, and aesthetics. Poor planning. Won't make it right. We lost 5 figures on a 2-man crew that lacks longevity with owner. Hire inspectors before paying final invoice. FYI “Custom Deck and Fence Austin” also has poor reviews on multiple sites noting owner Todd Louis Ratajik of "Good Day Baked Energy Snacks" (Forfeited Existence). Sites now name “Cesar” as owner. Negative reviews disappeared. AFFD has pending lawsuits with Travis County Courts. Unknown AFFD subcontractor alarmingly used my name and address in another client’s lawsuit w**! Standard: Visual consistency. AFFD: Mismatched railing. Todd’s words: "It's the same railing but pinched." (A contractor’s FB review notes lack of materials to properly complete jobs.) Std: Concrete pad supports stairs. AFFD: Stair stringers hover in air, failing to land on concrete. Todd blatantly texted that stringers would step out (not down) from deck. I refuted the abnormality. Top step was cut off; stringers don’t reach concrete. Instead of extending pad or redoing stringers, an ugly post was set. Std: Stairs treads w/o gaps. No overhangs. AFFD: Stringer cuts forgot stairs' fascia; treads weren’t 11+”. Gaps added to meet code -> stair noses >1.25", ie trip hazards. FYI Use rise-to-run guidelines. Std: 42” deck railings. 34-38” stair railings ABOVE boards. AFFD: 44” deck railings. Didn’t supply 34” stair railings; boards grossly notched to lower height, which start at 44”! Std: Posts sit on existing FINISHED concrete pads. (LOL) AFFD: Post had no contact with pad (after removing makeshift shams to hide the blunder) ie ZERO deck weight on ground. Todd asked if this was okay [to not deal with]. Post not corrected at start. Rough concrete poured atop pad to meet post. Ew. Std: 16" oc MAX joist spacing (Trex specs). AFFD: 7 of 13 spacings are >16". No blocking. Add 1 or 2 joists = ~15.5" or 14" spacings. Todd said his ways are “affordable” and “economical”. Eek. Best: Competitor contracts: "12-in joist spacings", "blocking", “glulam beam”. Std: Trex Cocktail Rail Kit (full-width support, hidden fasteners). AFFD: 5.5" wavy floor boards nailed to 1" rail. Visible screws, rough shavings, corner gaps, no support eg 2x4s to flatten board. No countersunk screws and putty to hide nails. Std: Professional aesthetics. AFFD: Not spraying railing cuts = RUST. No continuity in stairs fascia to meet deck edge. Silver bolts on black railings. Posts unequal distance from deck edges. Cedar’s shorter lifespan requires staining / maintenance < Trex’s composite fascia. Std: Disclosure of unforeseen issues. Protocols. Loyal crews. AFFD: Crew wasted a day plotting makeshift repairs after causing roof damage. Licensed roofer was furious about erroneously-cut flashing. Roofers returned after crew again made damaging cuts where told not to. Zero acknowledgement from Todd. AFFD: Crew noted holes in house’s ceiling after removing joist nails. No repairmen references. Not-our-problem mentality. AFFD: 15+ days by 2 tired guys: the hire + his actual neighbor. Ditto to reviewer compelled to supervise. Days start late, end after 7pm. My neighbors had 5 deck builders who left by 6pm still jolly. AFFD: Non-recyclables in recycling bin. Concrete and stinky liquid in trash bin. Cigarette butts, nails, and construction debris across yard. AFFD: Crew won’t tell owner about gray areas and errors in judgments. One unsure if he'd get paid wth. Std: Professionalism. AFFD: No final walkthroughs. Owner ignores items in emails. Condescending; when I climbed a ladder re an issue (that I called a roofer to fix), Todd muttered that I was “an inspector, eh”. Instead of talking measurements, Todd’s retort was “I’m the owner of a deck company”, as if titles alone grant proficiency. Labor is hired out, crew turnover is high. Workmanship depends on whoever is outsourced, who aren’t deck builders so much as guys who "have built decks before". Expect no corrections on what Todd Ratajik deems as "good enough"."

"Excellent job guys. They did the work the same day I called. Talk about fasting service!!! Should you want to drive by and see their work I am located at 1909 Emerald Isle Dr. Leander,TX. County Glenn subdivision. I have been wanting to put curbs on my driveway for years. Look them up Austin Concrete Pros. You want be dissappointed."

"Everything was great when they first came out. Thought we wanted asphalt then they mentioned chip and seal would be less expensive and that the rocks or small gravel wouldn’t move as in sealed. This was perfect for our five kids that play sports and to help reduce the mud on our property. Within no time the rocks were moving and it was as if we spent nearly $12,500 for not shifting rocks but could pick them up and throw them rocks, vegetation coming through within 2 weeks, all to be told… no warranty for vegetation, and they could come back and add a seal on top for another $5k. I would suggest staying away. We’ve gotten quotes from other companies to come back and redo it or add asphalt on top. Pictures were taken two weeks after they finished. This was done in October of 2024. The first picture is from two weeks after finished the second is April 2025. 6ish months later and mind you I spray for weeds every 2 weeks and have tried a zillion different methods."

"Exceptional quality work and good craftsman/people. I rarely am this happy with a service provider, but they are great. Also, top notch communication throughout the process."

"John and he’s team were excellent from start to finish John is a master at he’s craft kept us informed and up to date for the whole time he was here. Yes definitely would hire John again"

"These guys were the best. Garrett and Connor were easy to schedule a consultation with, put together a design quickly, and the final product turned out exactly like they said it would. They installed artificial grass for us and built a patio extension. The assignment was to make the patio look like it was originally built with the house and they matched it perfect. Either Connor or Garrett were on-site regularly to check on status. They finished on time and on budget. I highly recommend because they are everything you want in a contractor."

"Great!! Love his attention to detail and his service after!!! Wish I knew him before"

"Good job. He did what he said he would do."
