The wife gave my mom a sob story about needing the money for their kids so she paid the balance before the entire project was completed. The guy never came back! He skipped out with the money. Oh and they blocked all communication with my mom and her number so she couldn't even call them. read more

My wife and I just bought a home in April of this year and decided to have some updates done to the property. One of the first things we decided to do was extend our concrete patio to cover a dirt patch. We looked online and found Advanced Concrete, and after seeing mostly good reviews decided to hire him. We got scheduled for the work and ended up liking the results. The only issue we had with this work is that they dumped concrete waste in the back corner of our backyard. We have multiple dogs and had been looking for the best solutions to keep the floor clean and manageable. After looking at the possibilities, we decided that stained concrete floors would be the best option. Having already used this company for the patio, we decided to retain their services and get all our floors replaced (we had a mixture of floor types). We got scheduled and were told it would take an estimated 7 days to complete as well as haul off the concrete from the backyard. Now, I understand an estimate is an ESTIMATE. However after a week had gone by watching them on our security cameras come in after 10am and leave by 2pm, we were told that they needed more time. At this point in time, the old floors were not all the way up and there was a big pile of trash in the living room. We gave them more time as there wasn't really anything we could do about it. I eventually was able to come in during the day to find out what the issue was. The contractor assured us that they would get the trash out asap as well as work overnight to stay on the new time frame (in total it took 2 weeks with weekends). We got a call Friday after work that the AC isn't working and it's too humid for the concrete to dry properly, although they already began to lay the floors. I rushed over to find out not only had they not ventilated like they said they would but- This was not the first day they AC wasn't working. After looking at our smart AC information it was running over 18 hrs for 3 days in a row with it set at 80 degrees. The AC filter was so packed with dust from them not ventilating that dust poured off. They never informed us that a new AC filter was needed. They had also tried to set the AC to 70 degrees one day but we caught that and had that corrected. After finally being done with the floors we came home to- Tape everywhere 100's of nails sticking out where they removed baseboards Dust everywhere Floor stain on walls Old baseboards with nails sticking out in backyard And the backyard concrete STILL THERE after they assured they would clean that up from when they did the patio work The main area that needed work was the entryway that was built up on subfloor and was beginning to crack. After a couple of visits on recurring weekends, they poured concrete and patched it to the rest of the concrete (additional work we paid for). However, it looks horrible and the contractor knows it. While they were patching I pointed out they still haven't gotten the backyard concrete, to which he replied "Yes we did" and "We don't have a trailer to haul anything else, but we'll get it next weekend". The next weekend it was "Yes we did" and "We don't have shovels". I provided them shovels and they filled up a wheelbarrow full of concrete. We have a lock and camera on the gate/backyard so they NEVER got anything before that. Additionally, on multiple occasions I overheard the laborers insulting us as well as calling my wife a b**** (they never met her). The contractor is nice in person, but his work is backed up by shotty performance and subpar results. Minutes after the last time they left, I noticed a spot that was missed. He told me they used all of the concrete only for me to find a bucket half full of the concrete later that day behind our trash cans. 3 last minute cancellations later, we finally told him not to bother as we will have another company do the fix for us. The company who will now be doing the fix has done other A+ work and commented that normally they would not take a job with the previous work being done so poorly. read more

We hired Advanced Concrete Designs for the second time. They had previously repaired our pool coping destroyed by a scam contractor. This time, they removed the separating overlay applied by that same scam contractor and replaced it with stamped concrete. We are very impressed with Advanced Concrete Designs' reasonable cost, quality of materials, knowledge and skills, punctuality and results. The stamped concrete, staining, antiquing and sealer flows seamlessly into the pool coping. It looks amazing. I never thought the scam contractor's mess could be turned into something so wonderful. Santos and his crew saved us. Advanced Concrete Designs is the only concrete contractor we'll hire. They are busy. They are well worth the wait. read more

Advance Concrete Designs did an amazing job on my front porch. Santos is very reasonable in his pricing and takes pride in this craft. He was able to transform my patio from a boring concrete slab to a stamped and stained relaxation area my family can enjoy. He also included a Texas Longhorns emblem that I requested. I highly recommend Santos and ACD. It will be the best investment you will make on your property. read more
