Salesi (Charles) is hands down the absolute BEST of the BEST! If you need concrete work done, don't waste your time getting quotes from other contractors who will take forever to get back to you, give you unreasonable expectations and waste your time. We got bids from 4 other contractors who were all either not particularly responsive, required a lot of followup, had ideas of their own on how they wanted to design our projects, or were simply ridiculously over priced. Salesi did three projects for us. He made a basketball court, laid down astro turf and repaved our entire driveway and side yard. Salesi and his crew are all very respectful, easy to work with, highly dependable, cleanly and most impressively they are FAST!! Many of our neighbors stopped by to compliment how quickly our projects were completed (always in less than a week) and more importantly with relatively little noise. Salesi executed our designs exactly as asked for with 100% precision. His pricing is also extremely reasonable for this market. I would hire Salesi again in a heartbeat. read more

You've no doubt read through the reviews and still have questions. Is Charles the right one, should I use him, what about the low star reviews. Let me help you understand Charles, this company, and their work. Charles is Tongan. Tongans are large, hard working and honest people. Ask him about 8 angels and see if it doesn't bring a tear to your eye. My project was a large driveway redo. I had already removed the asphalt and needed someone to remove dirt, add a road base Class B base, and pour 3,000 square feet of concrete! I could have done this myself, I have the skills but I do not have the time. I made a mistake with another contractor and told him to leave my job. Charles came in and in 4 days, it was done. Wow. Perfectly poured, finished exactly to my requested specs, and super strong. Concrete trucks? Nope. Charles had a concrete rig come in. These are the large trucks that carry concrete in the different dry components and add water, which is also on the truck. This type of concrete is usually used in remote areas or in large jobs. I had a large job. 4 finishers went to work. If you see the comment about doobies, please know that you do not need doobies under the rebar if when installed, you lift the rebar up through the concrete and then let it fall back in place. That was done correctly, please discount that prior review. Also discount the comment about the 2x4's. Yes, you want a 4" pour for normal use and a 5" pour if you will have regular heavy loads on the concrete. Yes, everyone will use a 2x4 for a 4" pour. Why? Because they will have 1/2" or an 1" below the board. You will get your 4" of concrete. If anyone doubts the integrity of 8 Angels or the quality of their work, please ask Charles for my address in Orinda. You can come by and see it for yourself. You will not be disappointed with 8 Angels. One of my neighbors come by while the concrete was being poured and asked Charles for his card. He has since done the work and it looks great. Have no fear, use this company. And remember, concrete is basically for the rest of your life. You will live with whatever you pour and finish. I trust 8 Angels implicitly. read more

I can't recommend Charles and 8 Angels pro concrete enough. They did both my brother-in-law's driveway and ours, and the work is beautiful. They are highly skilled, efficient, finished in about 3 days. Great quote; read more

We found Charles on Yelp and we met him , he was an amazing and very professional person . We called him and he was quick to respond . He started the work within two days and the job is immaculate . We needed front ramp for wheel chair access and the finish job was what we wanted . Nothing less. We needed concrete steps and pathway in the back from Ramps and we have no complains. We are extremely pleased with his work and He is our man if we have any future concrete needs. Chaba and Rose read more

Charles and his crew did a GREAT job with our partial pool deck replacement in Lafayette. Charles added great ideas with the design. Work was completed on-time and the crew was very neat. I would use him again and recommend Charles and team very highly. read more

Salesi and his team put in a new concrete driveway at our house in Danville. He did a great job. When he was giving his bid he made thoughtful suggestions other companies did not think about. The construction process was smooth without delays. Salesi is the owner of the company and he was on site all day every day. Whenever we have major work done on the house like a driveway, we prefer to go with a company whose owner is as involved as possible - as opposed to another company that would send employees to the site who might not share an owner's passion for quality. read more

Charles and his crew laid down a 20'x20' pad on the side of our house in 2 days. His crew was efficient and clean. Took great care in keeping our fence in tact and clearing out some debris. Charles also made sure to call me and give me updates while I was at work. Great work, fast and responsive. We couldn't be happier with the end product. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would, these guys are great and do amazing work, at a VERY fair price. They were the first company to call me back, and scheduled a time to come look at my property the same day. Salesi and his team go above and beyond for you, and they don't cut corners in any way. All the things I asked for were done, and done right. The finished product speaks for itself, high quality and exactly what I wanted. -Removed existing concrete patio in backyard, and side of house -Grade backyard to slope away from house -Custom drainage system to be incorporated into new patio -Fill in old pool with the old broken up concrete and dirt -Layout new patio, from backyard to front of house read more

Professional and very kind. Very detailed and very organized. One thing I liked was, I was able to contact him at odd hours and he was still available with my concerns... thanks For the wonderful experience... read more

I found this company through the recommendations of my neighbors and I'm so glad I did. When Charles came out and gave us our estimate for replacing our back patio, driveway and front walkway, he came prepared with photos of his work and was very helpful with ideas of different things we might consider doing to our patio. His price was reasonable and fair. When he and his crew started the work, I was impressed with how respectful and careful they were with our existing landscaping. Charles said the work would take a week but they finished in 4 days. Each night when they left the job, they made sure to clean up everything. I highly recommend Charles and 8 Angels Pro Concrete. read more

Charles and his crew were great! We needed part of our steep driveway repaired which included tearing out ~300sf of existing concrete that had risen over time and redesigning the slope to ensure cars no longer scraped at the top. Charles came out the day after I called, and we walked through the project. He was able to quickly determine how to shape the new section to ensure a smooth, gradual slope and prevent future issues. His plan and process was very thorough and entailed reinforcing the entire section with closely laid rebar to maximize strength and minimize further movement of the concrete. He provided a price on the spot which was less than other quotes I had received for designs that were not as robust. Day 1 the team was prompt and did an initial walkthrough. Within 2 days, the old concrete was ripped out, a new slope was designed using a foundation of rocks, rebar was laid, concrete poured and smoothed out. Everything was left in perfect condition including taping off the area and all materials cleaned up. I will not hesitate to use Charles and his team again. They definitely exceeded my expectations. Honest, fair, professional and great customer service. What more could you want! Mike read more

This company is a hidden treasure! We replaced the concrete on our porch last week and Charles and his team did an amazing job. He gave us an estimate on Monday and started the next day. He finished one day early too. He also had the most reasonable price out of many concrete companies in concord. It is crazy how high some of the prices are. We will be calling Charles in the summer to replace our backyard patio! Thank you Charles! read more

First, a shout out to all contractors who pick up the phone on Saturdays! 8 Angels is one of them, so had the opportunity to quote. Our concrete job was straight forward. Of three quotes we received, 8 Angels was most competitive. So, it became a matter of whether or not this team can actually do a good job. It turned out perfectly framed, poured, set, cleaned. We're quite pleased! They were alsso very on time and communicative throughout the process. Thank you! read more

8 Angel Pro Concrete did an incredible job on my driveway. Salesi was a pleasure to work with and provided quality work at a good price with a high level of professionalism. Salasi always arrived on-time (or early) to start work and completed the work on-time and always left a clean worksite. Looking forward to work with 8 Angel Pro Concrete on future projects. read more

We had a small side yard that needed concrete and Charles and crew were able to do the job, despite their busy schedule. It turned out great and the crew was nice to work with! We're so happy we found them! read more

I am a pool building contractor and refer 8 Angels Pro Concrete to all our clients for concrete or any masonry work. We have used many concrete contractors over the years but Charles has been the most honest and reliable and gets the job done. These guys will come it and break up a huge driveway, retaining wall or pool patio in no time and get it all prepped and ready to pour pretty quick. Addresses any concerns and cleans up after every project. Definitely worth talking to if your in need of getting concrete or masonry work done. read more

8 Angels Pro Concrete - Charles crew helping me pour a slab of a really hot day. Thank you sir! - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

We had cement work done on our house, part of a patio, a walk way on the side of our house, and a driveway.The job looks great! But ... let's hope it stays that way. I noticed that the rebar they laid out, laid flat on the ground, and had no spacers to lift the rebar up. I questioned them about it and they told me that they lift the rebar when the cement gets poured, so I was fine with that. Then, when it was time to pour, they did lift the bar, but not all the time and was not as uniform as I would have liked it to be, plus at times, he was standing on the bar when the cement was being poured which pushed the rebar down! I know it's only a walkway and nothing that heavy will crack the cement but I hope the driveway will not crack with the heavy van on it . Also I had them do a little bit of fence work and repair two gates. The fence and gate works and looks fine, but, most fence work have a small gap between each fence for movement. This fence did not! I questioned him about it and he said said if you look at YouTube, that's the way they do it. So, considering the cost, the way the cement job looked, and the professionalism put into the job, I rate these guys 4 out of 5. read more

Charles and his crew demolished and repaved my driveway and an adjacent area that was previously dirt and grass. He and his crew did an amazing job at a very reasonable price and finished quicker than expected. read more

These guys are great! I have used them on several projects and they have always done great work at a fair price.

We love our patio! Charles and his crew showed early everyday. That is really rare for contractors. He was very professional and has fair prices. He also finished the job in less then a week. Truly a pleasure to work with and we have several other projects that we will use him for in the future. Because of him now we enjoy our back yard and we don't worry about water pooling next to our house because he made the cement gradient slop slightly away from our house which is a life saver. Thank you Charles and crew!!! read more

We are very happy with the patio slab that Charles and his crew completed in our backyard. They completed the job in 2 days, just as they said. This included tearing down our old deck, pergola, removing some old concrete and hauling it away. My husband and I recommend 8 Angels Pro Concrete. read more

We had our backyard done by Charles. He was responsive, very polite and keeps his appointments. He removed an old deck, laid concrete and put in grass. We couldn't be happier with the work he did. The concrete is stamped like wood planks and they look great thanks to Charles. We also had him come out and seal the concrete. read more

I had a huge backyard remodel going on where we put in a new pool and did concrete and landscaping. The spaces was over 2000 square feet and when Charles came to look at my yard it was a huge mess with pool construction going on, etc. The pool constructors concrete people were very expensive so I got five quotes including one from 8 Angels. Out of all of the quotes, this one was the most competitive for price and Charles was able to juggle some stuff on his calendar to fit us in last minute. We were on a very tight turn around schedule to continue on the timeline we needed for the pool construction. Charles and his guys were very hard working, nice and did a great job! They were on time, came when they were supposed to and did the work without any issues. He checked in with us to see if we liked their work or had anything we wanted fixed. I would totally recommend Charles and 8 Angels for any concrete work, large or small. He is coming back out to finish my yard and help me stain the rest of my existing cement as well. Don't hesitate to call them for a great price and great work product (coming from an extremely picky person on a tight budget :-) read more

After reading 5-star reviews on Yelp, I reached out asking for a quote and scheduled an appointment. No one showed up and then no response when I let them knew that my appointment was missed. read more

Absolutely hire these professionals they are good at what they do...cement. I had 8 Angel Pro Concrete design and pour my new driveway to replace the original 1940's driveway at my house which back then was two stripes of cement up my old driveway in Concord. They did an amazing job absolutely 5 stars. They were able to fit my job in a few days early and finish within 3 days. My driveway is now 18 X 37 with stamped concrete design in several spots. This project included tear out and take down the hill side grade. It turned out better than I expected and the neighbors are all very complimentary of how nice it looks. Salesi/Charles and his team are very hard workers even in the 90 degree days they worked hard. I would highly recommend this company and will hire them when I'm ready to re-do my backyard patio. read more

I am so thankful for Charles and his men. What a hard-working group of gentlemen. Charles was more than accommodating. I had to put him off when I realized I needed a new roof. He rescheduled me with no complaints. Because I have never had a new driveway I inundated him with many questions and concerns. He very patiently worked with me on all aspects and answered every question I had. I am very pleased with the final product and thankful that I picked this company. If I ever need future concrete work I know who I will call! read more
