6 July 2012 CJ; Donna and I would like to express our appreciation for the work you performed for our patio and sidewalk/porch. Your workmanship was outstanding and we could not have been more pleased as to how magnificent the "stamped" concrete looks. We continue to garner praise from our neighbors who are extremely impressed by the quality of the work. We also appreciate your following up on some minor glitches which occurred and your patience in working with us. These projects were well worth the cost and do not hesitate to call upon us a reference or to have a potential client stop by our house to see first hand an example of your high quality work. Regards. Peter and Donna Lund

They're very responsive...they had to keep changing the date of service many times due to lots of rainy days, and the owner kept me informed all along.

We are thrilled with our new patio and highly recommend Salzano. CJ was very professional throughout the entire process and was readily available before, during (and even after) the project. He was direct with budget estimates and we had no surprises with cost. He offered us a lot of options for design and colors and provided excellent recommendations and guidance to us along the way. The quality of the work is terrific. At his suggestion, we took extra precautions to protect the patio from future water damage (the issue that damaged the original flagstone patio). We installed lighting the steps, sitting walls, and four pillars - and the coordination with our electrician and timing around the work was seamless. The men CJ has on his team are hard workers and very good at their craft. They spent as much time as necessary to get the color and details just right. We had one pretty major hiccup toward the end (a damaged pipe that caused puddling under a walkway) and without batting an eyelash CJ and his team made themselves available to resolve it - no hassles or issues - and fixed the problem. We have had several parties and even a wedding in our backyard since the project was completed... and have received dozens upon dozens of compliments. This was a major project for us, so we are glad we spent the time and money on such a professional company and quality end product.

It took them a couple of days. It looks fabulous and everyone says it looks beautiful. We contacted them last September and we got put on their wait list.
Response from Salzano Custom Concrete
"Sounds great, glad to hear you are enjoying your new driveway. This is one of our more unique and interesting driveway designs that we have done this year. This was a unique combination of our 2-color basic stamped concrete on the main interior sections, combined with our upgraded custom multi-color stamped concrete with Large Random Flagstone pattern, used for the walkway to the porch. The other challenge for this job was to determine the best way to continue the multi-color flagstone style as a border around the entire perimeter of the driveway. We do lots of decorative borders, but the unique challenge here was to create the border with the inside edge to be "jagged", ie the border stones appear to be entire stones laid around the edge of the driveway not just portions of stones with a straight inside as we is done most of the time. We had to create some special template tools to do this, but it was well worth the extra effort. The results are stunning and we couldn't be happier with the results. Glad you are enjoying the driveway, we are very proud of this piece as well !! cj"

We requested quotes from several concrete companies for redoing our driveway and patio. SALZANO is not the lowest bidder but we chose it for the quality and creativity of its work.CJ (the boss) was very responsible and patient. He made clear explanation and suggestion to the project during the bidding stage. All work description was clearly written (in contrast to some other contractors who scribbled something on the back of a business card).The crew was punctual, polite and careful. Everything worked out as planned. Within several days, we had 2000 sf of new driveway and beautifully stamped patio. We are not the easiest customers to please but we are really happy with SALZANO's work. We would make the strongest recommendation of SALZANO to anyone who needs a concrete contractor.

"Thanks so much for trusting us with your business. We too were very proud of the project we did at your house. The combination of regular concrete with our custom stamped concrete created a beautiful and unique driveway and new back yard living space. thanks again. cj salzano"

It looks gorgeous. They came out several times and gave us design advise on how to put it up and what would look good. We went over to a place to get samples. They also gave us tons of people that would could call for references of their work. It was a good experience. They had to go out of their way in our case because we live near the woods. We had a problem with deer coming in. They had to break up the work in 2 sections so that they could actually put up the orange fencing around it.
Response from Salzano Custom Concrete
"Glad to hear all is well with the new cobble pattern walkways and patios that we built at your house. Yes, the deer threat created an extra challenge for us ... but seems that we worked through it great. thanks again for trusting us with your business."

Went well from the estimate through the scheduling and after he finished.
Did what he said he would do. I knew what was happening every step of the way.
No issues or problems.
Would recommend him (and have) to others looking for stamped concrete.

I first contacted Salzano Custom Concrete in July of 2011. I spoke with CJ who told me that he was scheduling appointments approximately four weeks out, so he would not be able to meet with me before August. He came out to my home on August 8 and we discussed the work I wanted to have done. CJ had a lot of great ideas, and together we came up with a plan for a new stamped brick walkway and stamped flagstone patio in the backyard. CJ sketched out a few designs, and I picked the one I like. He was careful to explain that the new patio would be very high because of the slope of the backyard, so we added a step to the design. I wanted the front walkway to match the colors of the brick on my home, and CJ picked out the perfect base color to do that.
I signed the contract and knew that the work could not begin for several weeks (maybe months) as there were many other customers ahead of me. When it become apparent that the work would not be done until late fall/early winter, I told CJ that I wanted to wait and have the work done in the spring. I contacted CJ again in late February to schedule the work for March. We met again to go over the plansand to fine tune all the little details.
The first crew of three men showed up on March 9 and began the very labor-intensive job of demolishing the walkway. These three workers were so incredibly in sync with each other that they did not need to speak very much as they worked. They took turns with each of the tasks--using the jack hammer, removing the chunks of concrete and brick, loading the dump truck, etc. When the demolition was complete, the began to build the forms for the new walkway and landing. They worked with me to ensure that the form for the landing was exactly the way I wanted it. Then they added the gravel base and rebar. Once the concrete was poured and the base color added, they knew just the right time to begin stamping it with the brick pattern. Then they went on to repeat the process in the backyard, this time using a random flagstone stamp pattern. An additional crew of three workers was brought in at that time.
I want to acknowledge the entire crew who worked on this project: Jose, Freddy, Filiberto, Rufino, Julio and Mario. They were all wonderful!
I was able to be home from my job for the six days that this work was being done. On that final day I was home, CJ asked Freddy to color a few sample bricks in the walkway and a few of the flagstones in the patio to get my approval for the final coloring. I gave my approval and returned to work the next day. Freddy and his crew finished coloring and sealing the bricks and flagstone while I was at work. When I returned home, I was amazed at how they made the colors of the brick match the house and how realistic both the walkway and the patio stones looked.
CJ and his staff are a very professional, talented and hard working group. I called CJ many times during the demolition and construction process, and he was always very responsive. The process took a long time from start to finish, but it was well worth the wait. I am delighted with my new walkway and patio!

If it weren't for the weather, the whole process would have been perfect. The weather, though, is beyond CJ's control. I will say that he communicated to us very well throughout the whole process. And his workers were professional and courteous.

They did high quality work and kept me informed. The only down side was how far out they were when we took the business or put down your down payment; to when, they actually came out and started the work. He was upfront with us about it so it wasn’t like you weren’t informed; but, it took even longer than he said it was going, to be.

"Decorative resurfacing is very much a little known service for homeowners. We do our best to get the word out to educate homeowners and commercial clients about the advantages, strength, durability, and of course, the beautiful and detailed aesthetics we can achieve with this process. We are very proud of the results on your job and the stunning transformation that we were able to achieve ... glad you are enjoying the space!

All I can say is they were amazing!! From the very beginning to the end of the job they were so professional and ethical, i was in shock. He (Mr. Salzono) told me some things upfront that I knew intuitively needed to be done, and no other contractor would admit it- because it added to the cost. My husband who is an engineer felt that way also and we so appreciated the honesty. They were timely and cleaned up after the job. The look is WONDERFUL and everyone comments on how nicely it looks. If you need someone to pour your driveway or stamp it- PLEASE use them. I can assure you 100% you will not be disappointed. I have very high expectations and they met everyone. The exact work that was done was a driveway that was concrete poured with a slight coloring and a stamped pattern at the top of the driveway with a finish added. truly beautiful...looks like real flagstone and matches so nicely with the house.
I am very picky and I will admit they were outstanding. I have had many experiences with contractors and this was probably the best.

We absolutely loved working with Salzano Custom Concrete. I found this company on Angie's List and decided to contact them for a quote based on the high ratings and comments from previous Angie's List customers. CJ, the owner, contacted me within a few days to set up an appointment at my house. He originally was not going to be able to come out for a few weeks because they had so much work lined up, but he was able to squeeze us in within one week.
CJ was prompt for our appointment. He reviewed the area that we wanted to transform and immediately brought a few potential issues to my attention. He demonstrated excellent problem solving skills, creativity, and expertise in helping to troubleshoot those problems and determine how we would make a patio work in our small townhouse backyard. He was very upfront about challenges that could arise. We then sat down to review color and pattern options. Our meeting last close to 1.5 hours in which all of my questions were answered. I never felt rushed during our meeting. We received a quote during the meeting which was spot on with the final job cost. We sent in our deposit the next day in order to get on the schedule quickly knowing that there was a 2+ month lead time due to so many customers.
Because of the long lead time, Salzano Concrete posts a list on their website showing where you are in the line of waiting jobs. When our name was nearing the top of that line, CJ called us to set up a final walk through before they began the work. Again, we spent about an hour finalizing details and troubleshooting any last minute challenges. CJ again demonstrated great creativity in helping to outline our patio. When I expressed concern over having to put in sod ourselves, CJ quoted a price to do the sod work as well as decorative river rock. It was very fair.
The work began on time and the crew worked extremely quickly. It was obvious that the workers were very experienced. CJ was on-site periodically during the actual work and brought any issues to my attention (which he also helped resolve). The men were detail-oriented, friendly, and cleaned up after themselves. The work was done before we knew it and our patio looks absolutely gorgeous. We could not be happier with the outcome. CJ followed up a few days after the sealer was applied to see if we were happy.
All in all, I give Salzano Concrete the highest recommendation. CJ is on top of things. He is punctual, professional, a great communicator, and keeps you informed every step of the way. He employs a quality workforce that doesn't cut corners or do a half-hearted job. Their pricing is fair and you never feel like you are being pushed to "upgrade". We had a great experience with this company and have recommended them to many friends and family already.

I really liked this job from start to finish. We had considered doing something like this for several years and always put it off because we thought it would be too expensive. Well, we were wrong!
CJ came out to the house in late April to do an estimate within a week of first talking with him on the phone. He was super busy, but understood we were trying to determine options and make a decision of who to contract with. CJ was very patient and explained the difference between stamped concrete and "pure texture". We also discussed the differences of these with real stone. CJ brought a portfolio of work with him so it was great to see pictures of different options. He hand drew our job out on graph paper and put measurements to it. Then he left us with an estimate for the work we wanted to have done as well as included pricing for several different options. He also explained about scheduling and let us know that he was new jobs would likely not start until July or August.
We ultimately chose CJ because he could do everything we were asking for and we thought the price was really good. Even when comparing CJ's price to install real stone compared to others who would do the same thing his price was somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 less!
Because the jobs were scheduling so far out, CJ asked for only 10% down as opposed to the customary 40% down. Due to the amount of rainy days we had this year, the job ended up being delayed until August. I further detayed the job due to scheduling issues on my part (being out of town, etc). Before starting the job, CJ met with us again and we confirmed the work to be done, patterns to use, etc. He also referred us to Charles Luck to select the real stone that would cover the cinder block wall. The stone we selected was more expensive than was was originally estimated and CJ let us know right away in case we wanted to go with something less expensive. We stuck with what we'd selected and Charles Luck delivered the stone to the house and billed CJ for it. We ulitmately paid for the stone through our payments to CJ.
Our job lasted over the course of about 2 months from start to finish, mostly due to weather and rescheduling on my part.We paid the remainder of the down payment as we got ready to start the job. I'll admit to being a bit frustrated, but CJ and his team were not to blame. For example, once the concrete curb was poured it need to cure and then we had quite a bit of rain. We were ready start again, but I got called away on business for several weeks. It's amazing how quickly 2 months can go by.
Once we got down to it, the job went well. I needed to approve three things: 1. the layout of the random stone pattern (it's blocked off using tape) 2. the base color of the pure texture before it is spread down and 3. a sampling of "stones" as they were "painted" to look like stone. Once approved, CJ's team was able to apply the color scheme to the rest of the walkway.
All I can say is the finished product is BEAUTIFUL. The walkway is gorgeous and makes a big difference in the drive up appeal of our home. Likewise, the stone applied in the back looks great. We have neighbors who are interested in doing something similar and I'm already planning "phase 2". We couldn't be happier with the work and highly recommend CJ and his team. They are truly artists!
Response from Salzano Custom Concrete
"Our concrete resurfacing service is one of our best kept secrets! This process is becoming more and more popular, but still is not very well known or understood by customers. Many of our customers have seen similar processes on HGTV ... then research it to find us. This is a great way to transform plan, regular concrete into a beautiful piece without the expense of removal and replacement. Pass on the word and tell your friends! We love the resurfacing process, works great indoors and out!"

It looked beautiful. It came out to be very nice. They were very professional and very timely. They were pleasant and I think that they did an excellent job. So far, I have been very pleased with it as it is very impressive. I would use them again in the future if I ever need another patio.
Response from Salzano Custom Concrete
"This project will always be a bit special to me as well. We coined the term "pioneer of decorative concrete" for this customer! She couldn't decide between green'ish slate color and blue'ish slate color, so we agreed to mix the 2 together to come up with a green-blue'ish slate color ... which honestly looks great ... it is a very traditional bluestone color and with our unique grout and custom shading service, this patio really is nearly indistinguishable from real flagstone .. for the cost of decorative concrete! We have done a few more of these since, and the customers are all thrilled. We hope you enjoy your new outdoor patio space. CJ Salzano."

The design that CJ helped me create fit my style and was the most creative of the estimates I recieved. I contracted for services in April and my yard was not started until August, but CJ told me up front that it was going to be 3-4 months before they could get to my project. Darryl was the project manager on my home. He was great to work with and when I brought up problems or concerns along the way he and CJ were very responsive. I was very pleased with the work and would definitely recommend Salzano.

Salzano Custom Concrete was superior in every way. All, Cj, work crew, Foreman, etc. were very professional, polite, on time, and certainly hard working. They were very experienced in their job and I appreciated this, I trusted their suggestions and recommendations. They were the first to respond to my inquiry and made a trip to my home to discuss the job. Cj was very knowledgeable and I appreciated the patience in explaning the options and details. After six estimates for our job Salzamp was our choice based on Angie's List ratings, their professionalism and the cost.
Response from Salzano Custom Concrete
"Thanks for the comments and detail on your experience ... wow, 6 estimates, I didn't realize that .. I am truely honored to have been selected. I really do enjoy spending time up front with customers to explain what we can do and educate you on various options available these days. This is really one of the most enjoyable parts of my job! Glad you are thrilled with your beautiful new driveway! cj"

I would highly suggest that anyone considering hiring CJ to do any sort of work on they're property that you physically go and view work that he has done on others homes and not just go by what pictures are on his website, which is a huge mistake that we made. His pictures on his website are of homes he has done work on, but they are photos taken the day the job is completed, they are not a week, a month or a year later which will then accuratley show how is work holds up over time. He had the nerve to post photos of our patio on his website, however they were taken the day he finished. A week later is when everything had dried and you were able to see the difference in colors & different shades & less than a month after pouring the concrete it began to crack & then within 3 months the texture began to bubble and peel apart. I will be enclosing several pictures however if you would like to see more, please dont hesitate to ask me, if you would like to come and view our patio please feel free to contact me. I am hoping that I can prevent potential customers from having to suffer like we have & potentilly loose out on thousands of dollars like we did. As of today, I am still gathering emails, photos, recordings to continue my fight to have CJ held responsible for the damage or extremely poor work he has done. We have not done anything to our patio as we want everyone to see what type of work he will provide to you & what $13,000.00 will buy you. We were promised excellent work, assured he could create exactley what we wanted & in the end we were better off with what we started with, which was nicer than what we have now.
Response from Salzano Custom Concrete
"Let me start by saying that we treat every customer with the utmost respect and professionalism that our customers have come to expect ... and this project was no different. We have served approximately 1000 customers with near perfect customer satisfaction. Jobs don't always go perfectly, but we are always anxious to work with customers for outstanding results. As you can read from dozens of A+ reviews here on Angie’s List, we go the extra mile to provide quality service and do our best to meet and exceed our customer’s expectations. That said, we find it a shame that some consumers take advantage of the free form and un-policed nature of contractor review websites as this report has clearly misrepresented the details of this project to make us out to be an unprofessional, horrible company, which simply is not true. For any new customers reading this review, rest assured that this is a highly unusual situation and if you understood the facts you would agree that we did all we could to satisfy this customer. With this and all customers, we discuss the risk of concrete cracking and the associated risk of any cracks showing through a decorative resurfacing layer. After bringing in the manufacturer at our expense, we removed and replaced work that did not meet the customer’s approval despite their specific instructions and agreement beforehand. In the end, the customer chose to turn us away, decline the repairs that we offered, and now turn their attention to bashing us online. --------- For those that care to discuss this further, feel free to call us anytime."

The decorative surface is installed in "steps"/stages. It took a few weeks from start to finish, but there were only a few days when we couldn't walk on the surface. Salzano's installers did a great job - very professional and talented.
Response from Salzano Custom Concrete
"Another great example of how our decorative concrete resurfacing can transform plain regular concrete into a beautiful show piece area! This project was done with a Pennsylvania Bluestone style with a rustic wood timber trim ... really came out great. This nicely enhances the curb appeal of the house, and gives the entry a newly decorative look. CJ Salzano."

We initially contacted CJ Salzano of Salzano Custom Concrete in April 2011 to discuss a design to replace our existing backyard patio. We selected Salzano as we had a few friends the used the company for concrete work and they were highly recommended. The price that was quoted was also reasonable to us.
It took from April 2011 to August 8, 2011 to schedule and complete the job. I can't fault the company for the length of time to complete the job as CJ was up front relative to the time it may take as there were several jobs ahead of us and weather was always a factor (which was the case this spring). Salzano has a Web site where you can check the schedule status of your job (a nice feature). Once the job was scheduled they were very punctual on the schedule. The job took three and a half days of actual work to complete. They removed the existing patio, hauled away the debris dug out the site and started laying out the forms in the first two days. On the third day they completed the forms, poured and stamped the concrete. After the concrete setup for a few days, the crew came back to remove the forms, apply the sealer, regrade the dirt around the patio and cleanup after themselves. The process was quite painless.
The crew was very professional and made sure we were happy with the layout, making modifications we requested along the way. The crew's workmanship was excellent. You could tell they took pride in their work. The design, pattern and color was exactly what we wanted. Although it took quite a while from initial contact to the completion of the job, it was well worth the wait. The design and quality of the end result fully met our expectations.
I would not hesitate to recommend Salzano to anyone considering having concrete work done.
It took from April 2011 to August 8, 2011 to schedule and complete the job. I can't fault the company for the length of time to complete the job as CJ was up front relative to the time it may take as there were several jobs ahead of us and weather was always a factor (which was the case this spring). Salzano has a Web site where you can check the schedule status of your job (a nice feature). Once the job was scheduled they were very punctual on the schedule. The job took three and a half days of actual work to complete. They removed the existing patio, hauled away the debris dug out the site and started laying out the forms in the first two days. On the third day they completed the forms, poured and stamped the concrete. After the concrete setup for a few days, the crew came back to remove the forms, apply the sealer, regrade the dirt around the patio and cleanup after themselves. The process was quite painless.
The crew was very professional and made sure we were happy with the layout, making modifications we requested along the way. The crew's workmanship was excellent. You could tell they took pride in their work. The design, pattern and color was exactly what we wanted. Although it took quite a while from initial contact to the completion of the job, it was well worth the wait. The design and quality of the end result fully met our expectations.

"A great new stamped concrete patio! We replaced a previous loose stone patio with a new stamped concrete patio using gray tone colors similar to other stamped concrete that this customer already had. Thanks again for the kind words ... we work very hard to gain customers trust and greatly appreciate your business! cj"

It took longer than originally expected, but that was due in part to an increase on our part to the scope of the work and in part due to the weather which delayed their overall schedule. The completed work looks wonderful; the workmen were very competent.

The project went really well, start to finish. CJ Salzano met with us in April to go over designs, patterns, colors, etc. He sat with us for about an hour, and came up with some really unique plans, which incorporated elements of our backyard which had been overlooked by other contractors we contacted. CJ gave us a written estimate, then sent one via e-mail once we told him we would like to hire him for the job. Throughout the entire process, CJ was very responsive to e-mails and the website was helpful in letting us know when the guys were getting close to starting our job. CJ told us up front that they were fully booked for the next few months, so if we wanted a patio sooner, we should go with another contractor. We had lived in the house for over a year without a patio, so we weren't in a rush--and we are glad we waited!! A crew of several guys came out during the first heat wave in July, and prepared the yard. Everything was done and the concrete was poured in just a few days. The patio looks fantastic, and we are enjoying it very much! Overall, we had a great experience working with Salzano, and we will definitely go with them when we are ready to have our driveway re-paved!
