Concrete Driveway Service, Concrete Repair
It went terrific and I sadly never say that about working with folks in the trades. JP was highly responsive to my request for quotes and questions. He gave me a quote that was both specific and detailed. He worked with me a little on price and deposit. His team showed up at my house to the minute of when he said that they would. They moved quickly and minimized damage to lawn, mulch beds, and sprinklers. He worked with me to address my concerns about cracks in the prior driveway, tieing the driveway into both the garage and the apron, and tieing the driveway and the sidewalk together. At every step of the way (grade, gravel depth, concrete depth) JP checked in with me and had me approve it before he went to the next step. Not sure if this was his normal practice or another instance of him working with me to allay my concerns. Whichever...... it sure worked for me. I had thought it would take two days....... they were out by 3pm on day one. As JP said, this wasn't their first driveway. I know of at least two other driveways in my neighborhood that he has done. All the homeowners are highly satisfied.

Working with Paulo was great from beginning to end. We discussed the walkway first, and I had some concerns regarding a previous estimate and how they wanted to approach the job (pour over vs tear up). He immediately agreed that my concern was vaalid, and the proper way to do this was to tear up the existing walkway and re-pour the entire thing. I also had a concern about irrigation lines that ran underneath the walkway - he reassured me they would be careful in that area, and also asked that I leave spare parts if I had them on hand (line, connectors, etc.) just in case they did hit it, so that they could repair it! On to the shed: it's a sizeable slab (12x16) and so we talked about size and layout for a bit. He got what I was looking for right away, and even offered to pour a ramp where the doors would be, as well as pouring a larger slab (13x17) to give a little extra (6") on each side. Day of: they showed up on time (7am) and started working on the shed location immediately. Paulo walked back with me to finalize - I brought out plans for the shed, and he took the time to go over it and listen to some ideas I had about the ramp and door location (even though I should have had that ironed out ahead of time). Again, he got where I was coming from right away, and I appreciate that he took the time to actually listen and understand what I wanted, and make sure the crew understood what we were doing too. Everything turned out great! He was back at the end of the day to check on everything and go over some basics with me (e.g. keep damp for a few days, don't walk on for a day, etc.) The crew was excellent! Very polite, did a great job, cleaned up, worked their tails off in this heat... I did the only thing I could at that time to help - give them bottles of water. This estimate was the same as the first one I got, and they were going to put in a lot less effort (pour over existing walkway, no shed ramp) so I'm very happy with how everything worked out. Paulo is fantastic to work with - very personable and takes the time to understand what you're looking for. Remembers details of your conversation even weeks later.

Amazing job, and well ahead of schedule. The extra advice I got at our first meet was great, not something I thought about, and in turn the final product tied everything in so perfectly. I could've never though that so much work could be done in a single day and with such quality. It was a great pleasure working with Paulo and his crew!

Great. They came on time, did in the amount of time they promised and did a great job. The driveway is finished very cleanly and professionally. Looks amazing. Just what we wanted. Only thing I'd note is that they dug away a lot of dirt and so water now collects next to the driveway in the crack between the driveway and where the grass now starts. However, once I called and talked to them about it, they sent someone to fill in the dirt. They came with a whole truck full of dirt and spent some time filling the gaps in.

Paulo was incredibly responsive and helpful through the whole project. He was able to come by quickly to give me a quote for the project. He also was very patient and understanding as I went through the HOA process for his payment. His crew did a great job taking out the old slab of concrete and pouring the new slab. One of my neighbors driveways got slightly damaged during the process and they repaired it that same day. Our FIOS line also accidentally got cut, and Paulo took care of contacting Verizon for us to get the new line installed the next day. We are very happy with Paulo and his crews’ professionalism and quality of their work.

Excellent. I was very impressed with the JP Companies. First, professionalism. As I was gathering estimates, other firms would bee doomed before they even rang the door bell. One was literally wearing flip flops and tank tops t-shirt. Another forgot to bring his measuring wheel. JP Companies was prompt, communicated well, and helpful in the pricing the project. For the installation, they showed up when they said they would. The overall project was 1 day for the driveway and 2 days for the stone walk. The workers were very courteous and seemed conscious that they were in a neighborhood with children, etc. The workmanship was great and I definitely recommend JP Companies.

Arrived promptly and did the work in one day, faster than expected. Within a couple of weeks noted some chipping and pitting. JP Companies repaired by patching areas where concrete hand crumbled and pitted. They stated to give it time to finish curing that if more problems occurred not to worry, 2 years of warranty were left. The next spring (2018) more problems were evident and were reported to JP Companies. They included pitting, crumbling, and cracks. Was informed that the cracks in the joints were normal. While I accepted that explanation I still had issues with the driveway, including holes in the surface where the top layer had crumbled and cracks extending from the joints that crumbling apart as well. Was further told that the other problems would be addressed after considering options with "business partner". Was assured not to worry since another year was left on the warranty. Was eventually told that they would "repair" the problems, but would cover the entire driveway so that there was no discoloration on driveway. The repair was done in November 2018 using a resurfacing product called ARDEX-CD. After leaving the product to dry over a week as per their instructions, began using the driveway again. It rained in the next few days and the product softened and started getting grooves in it from the vehicle tires. Now there are permanent tire grooves in the driveway. What's more, each time it rains, more tire groves are being made in the driveway surface. When I complained about this issue, I was informed that this was not under warranty. So, essentially by allowing the company to repair the problems (holes and crumbling sections) in the concrete driveway surface, the original warranty was voided. Furthermore, they will not take any corrective actions due to the defects in the repairs they made that voided the warranty. They are not willing to do anything further to help with the problems left with the final product on the driveway. When attempting to negotiate some sort of resolution, was told they have done all they can and have done more than was required under the contract, but they only made two repairs, one within weeks of the original install and one a year later. That's all they can do with a two year warranty? I just want it known that BUYER BEWARE...The contractor will void its own warranty by doing repairs to defects. I noted in the contract that cracks in the joints and "patches" are not warranted, but keep in mind this was not a patch of spots on the driveway, they did a complete resurface and now are not willing to take any action to help with new problems with the resurfaced driveway. They claim they have been accommodating and that the contract clearly states whats covered, but this is deceptive if they do a warranty repair that does not provide a satisfactory end product.
Response from JP Companies, Inc.
"Process is going through BBB. Customer claims we did the driveway faster than expected?! Contract clearly states that the duration of the work is 1-2 days. It is not uncommon for a good concrete installer to do a 816 SF driveway in a day. Especially in the summer when the days are longer and weather is good. Issues he brings up are clearly stated in contract under Standard Provisions item #6-10. We would attach pictures of the driveway and the executed contract but I don’t believe Angie’s List allows us too. We’ve been back to address the driveway multiple times even though the issues the customer brings up are not warrantied. We did so out of good faith. Customer signed a contract that clearly states that and he’s also been told in multiple emails that’s the case. He was even told that before we did the “repairs”. Even so, we’ve been back twice to address the issue at no cost to the customer but at a cost of $2k + to us. Concrete is a natural product and hairline cracks/small pitting can happen with no fault of the contractor. That’s why it’s in the contract. Our business practice is to email proposals to the customer so they can review the contract (every part of it) at their comfort. We do not provide formal proposals onsite to avoid any “pressure selling” and to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. We also encourage our customers to ask any and all questions they may have before we contract work. Also, customer is complaining about tires marks. How are we supposed to warranty against tire marks? Customer says we’re not willing to address the issue but acknowledges we’ve been back twice. We are not perfect contractors (no one is) but we are honest and we stand behind our work. Case in point are our 150+ A reviews on Angie’s List, our 20+ 5 star reviews on Home Advisor and good standing with the BBB. We’ve also been in business for 11 years and have grown every year. Our reputation speaks for itself. We are always willing to work with our customers but also believe things need and should be fair. Unfortunately, Sometimes customers want to make sure they get their point across (which is their right) even though they may not be in the right. With all that being said, we do apologize (not for our work) but that it had to get to this point and the customer feels the way they do."

The crew arrived on time, stopped briefly when they encountered a slight problem (the tree root next to our driveway prevented them to do a straight line), then resumed. When they left-everything was cleaned up.

Absolutely 100% terrific! Not only was JP's bid competitive, the bid included better construction details than other bidders, making sure the final product would be solid and long-lasting. The workers arrived on time, they worked efficiently and without any burden on us as the homeowners. They knew what they were doing and the whole thing was done in just a few hours. Probably one of the most important factors for us in getting work done on our home, as much as the quality of workmanship, is quality of the business owners themselves. Paulo Nicoalu is a highly professional businessman, as well as personable, responsive, and thoroughly honest. A real pleasure to do business with him.

All done in one day! Great job! Company has the latest and newest construction tools and equipment, that is probably why it took one day! The project developed like a well tuned machine! The price was more than reasonable after comparing to two other companies estimates, JP was the one. I owe two other homes and did similar jobs with a separate company. No comparison! Great company with fantastic service.

I called the company and explained what my project was, installation of a 16’ x 10’ concrete pad at a residential site, which would eventually become the floor of a workshop. I requested an estimate. The office person scheduled an onsite estimate for about a week from the call. On the day of the scheduled estimate, I took off from work and waited for the estimator to arrive. Less than an hour before the scheduled appointment, Joe called and explained that the company did not usually do such small jobs, and that there was a $3500 minimum for all jobs. I said I certainly was not going to pay that amount for this job, and he then offered a “cash sale” that involved paying cash for labor and materials, but the company would provide no warranty for the work. When I said I was not going to hire a company that did not provide a warranty of their work, he then rather reluctantly said ok he would provide a 1-year warranty. At that point I was convinced this company was not interested in the job and that they would likely just be a continuing headache to deal with, so I terminated the conversation. This could all have been explained to me when I initially called to schedule the estimate, but instead the company chose to unprofessionally wait until the last minute, cause me to miss work for nothing, and delay my project even further. Completely unprofessional.
Response from JP Companies, Inc.
"We definitely explained to the customer that we have a minimum. The customer was upset because no one she has called wanted to take on such a small job. We tried to work with her on pricing over the phone but politely explained to her multiple times, we are a business and need to make money and therefore the reasoning for a minimum. She hung up the phone upset because all the companies she called had minimums and no company wanted to take on her job at the price she was willing to pay."

Paulo & his crew did an excellent job. The stoop looks great. I’m also very glad to have New a new concrete walkway and stairs. They replaced the old ones that had been covered with flagstone. I’m glad to not need to do as much maintenance. This is the 2nd project they did for us. The first was 4 years ago. They put in a back patio. It’s held up very well.

Were substantially less expensive than other quotes I got, but the work was all one could expect. Took out washed concrete and replaced with clean concrete. Back patio took much longer to demo because extra rebar in concrete and had to do it without large equipment (which worked on driveway, but could not make it through my gate) so had to be jack-hammered foot by foot. Still completed everything in one day. Only drawback was boss was only there at beginning and hard to communicate any issues (only small ones) during job. Boss came back later. Actual workers really worked hard and long. Impressed.

We are very pleased with the concrete work done by JP Companies in May 2017. The job consisted of replacing our concrete driveway including the carport. Although this company was not the lowest bidder we felt more comfortable with JP Companies' project presentation and detailed estimate compared to the others. We were especially impressed with Paulo who was always available to answer any questions we had prior, during, and after the renovation. This included Paulo's returning to the site several times to fix a recurring drainage problem. Communications were very good throughout the renovation. The team who did the actual work have to be commended for their professionalism. They were very careful to ensure that the work was started and completed without any damage to the property. There was a thorough cleanup of the area after the work was completed. Everything was returned to the same condition as it was before the work was started. We were very impressed! We would definitely use this company in the future.

Paulo was professional and helpful and always answered our questions. They had to break up and remove the old concrete down to the dirt and start over from the beginning. The job took one week. The crew was on time and worked diligently every day. They came back after the work was finished to fill the areas around the driveway with new soil. The concrete had to dry for another week. It is very solid and strong and looks beautiful. I am very happy to have a new driveway.

One would assume if you are going to replace a 4 inch concrete driveway with 4 inches of gravel and 4 inches of concrete, you need to remove at least 3 inches of dirt from the driveway. In the contract it talks about additional charges if rocks need to be removed. When the contractor was asked about not removing any dirt, he responded, "If you wanted dirt removed, you needed add it to the contract and it's an additional cost." When driveway was ready for the concrete pour, it was brought to the contractor's attention that there was less than 4 inches of gravel. Some areas had 3 inches and some had less than a tenth of an inch. The contractor stated 4 inches of gravel when compacted is about 2 inches of gravel. He continued, we have delivered enough gravel to cover the driveway with 4 inches of gravel. Because he had other sites to visit, the contactor stated that the only time he was available to visit the site was at 6 a.m. After a quick review, he agreed to add gravel to the areas that had little to no gravel. Our driveway is now about 1 to 2 inches higher that the removed driveway. Anyone using this company needs to make sure the contract reads "at least 4 inches of compacted gravel". I also suggest that you meet with the contractor before they pour the concrete to make sure you have the correct amount of compacted gravel. The finished concrete work looks great.

"Quick Note: This job was [Member Name Removed] 6500 SF pipestem shared by 3 neighbors in Vienna. It was [Member Name Removed] referral by [Member Name Removed] neighbor. His other neighbors have or will give reviews as well. As far as your communication issue: - We met (you, me and your 2 neighbors) 6 weeks before we started your project to go over all questions and sign the contract. - We emailed all of you [Member Name Removed] week before we started work to let you'll know. - The day we started I was onsite until 10:30-11 am and knocked on your door at 6:30 am to go over things one last time. You didn't answer. Your neighbors did. As far as your gravel issue and your current level of driveway: - I can provide pictures and emails showing the gravel depth as well as "YOUR CONTRACT" that you specifically wanted stated "1 inch higher that existing. Not sure if Angie's List allows us to post picture and email evidence but we have it and would be more than happy to share them. With all that being said, we appreciate your business and promp payment once the job was complete. Thanks."

It went great! Paulo was very clear about what would be done, explained how the asphalt would be removed, and the concrete driveway installed with a drainage system to keep water from the garage. They crew was here on time, and ready to work. They jack-hammered the drive, then loaded it all in a dump truck to be taken away. They layered the gravel, laid in metal mesh, and poured, leveled, and smoothed the concrete. The job was completed in one day, although we will need to wait a week before parking cars on it. The price we paid was comparable to others. They have also done several other driveways in our neighborhood.

Very well. We had to wait a little longer than anticipated, but once the job was begun, it was finished in record time. The work crew was diligent and efficient and cleaned up afterwards. One of the vehicles left some oil stains on our apron, but once I brought it to Joe Nicolau's attention, one of his crew came out promptly and took care of the matter. We really appreciated that.

We just had a new ~70' concrete driveway put in. Paulo was fantastic to work with, responsive and very honest about costs and benefits of various options. No upselling. We ended up with a beautiful driveway that will last us for many, many years, and the company threw in a number of extras like relocating stone and regrading ground elsewhere on our property. This is a family business and Paulo definitely made us feel like we were part of his family. Highly recommended.
