Jeff was prompt, and the work was great. He worked hard to get a response from the city permitting office when the person who was managing our case was out sick for 2 weeks. All around, great to work with this company and I highly recommend them! read more

I had to replace the sewer lateral from my house to the street AND replace most of the sidewalk per SF DPW. Jeff gave me a very reasonable bid for the concrete work AND recommended a great plumber (also very reasonably priced) to replace the old (and broken) terra cotta Pipes with cast iron. When the job began, his crew of workers were very positive and friendly while working in front of the house, and they secured the site and cleaned up well after every evening. Through the whole process, Jeff was very responsive by email and I found him to be always very honest and straight forward. It was a big job but I felt well taken care of through the whole process. He did a great job on the driveway too! I highly highly highly recommend Jeff and Service Concrete. read more

Got a notice from the city to repair our sidewalk last month. Called several companies and got 6 quotes. I chose Service Concrete because their estimate was one of the lowest and they were very responsive to my emails unlike other companies that did not bother to respond to phone calls or emails. The day after I agreed to the contract, Jeff got the permit and work started a few days after. They did a great repair job and it was done quickly. Communication through email was easy. Highly recommend! read more

Just like everyone else on Yelp is saying, good work at a good price. I just had a side alley re-done and it just took a few hours. I highly recommend! read more

I live in a flat section of Cow Hollow and needed to replace 22 of my sidewalk squares. Finding 3 companies to get quotes from was a bit of a challenge. I contacted Jeff and had a quote texted and emailed in 72 hrs. The pricing with the city permit worked out to $118 per square (worth noting it you are getting bids). Based on my other quotes, the price was competitive. We set a date for the job. The crew showed up on time and got to work. The project requires a jack hammer, truck to haul the debris for the old squares, and bringing in concrete for the new squares. After completing the demo and pouring the new concrete, the larger crew moved on to another job and left 1 guy behind to finish smoothing the new sidewalk squares. We felt Service Concrete did an outstanding job and would use the company again. read more

I worked with Jeff and his team for almost 5 months straight. The time includes several projects consisting of replacing two massive retaining walls, replacing the main water line through the driveway, sidewalk squares, and some general contracting work including fixing the deck and building the fences. Jeff's price was very good. I think it was the best price. I liked that his contract called out areas in the project where there was risk to go over the bid. When he wasn't sure what the cost would be, we agreed to assess it when the time came ending up with some shared risk. I prefer that over one fixed price that is much higher to take into account the risk of a lot of time consuming and costly additional effort. After so many months of working together I can say that Jeff is very honest and personable. He was always willing to incorporate my many detailed requirements without a lot of nickel and dime back and forth on minor changes. He followed up on all asks and details to ensure that the the project was completed to my satisfaction. read more

Service Concrete is great! Jeff was very communicative for initial appointments and estimates, and give some good suggestions for our projects. I manage several properties in SF and will continue to use him for more concrete jobs. He repaved an exterior driveway as well as interior garage floor, and they both look smooth and perfect. Highly recommended! read more

I wasn't going to write a review, but his work was less than professional and has not held up. It is already cracking and has only been a year. They were late to the job, I called them, they had a worker here doing nothing all day once the initial demo was done. They used no form, poured late, ignored the photos I sent and relied on me at the last minute for additional lighting as they poured after dark. I had them come back and use a concrete saw to clean up where a form should have been. If this were a backyard walk,OK, but it is the entrance to my home. read more

Jeff and his crew did an amazing job replacing our driveway and sidewalk earlier in the new year. They were extremely responsive and flexible... coming once to open the sidewalk so that our plumber could run a new water line, and again a week later to add rebar and pour the concrete. Special kudos goes to Jeff's foreman for staying late and being patient while working with my parents to make sure the concrete was perfectly sloped for drainage. He worked with my dad, who's a retired structural engineer and also picky and meticulous when it comes to home projects :) Jeff and his crew were punctual, hard working, and very professional. We love the the quality of their concrete work and would definitely recommend them! read more

Jeff was great from my e-mailed quote to getting the job done. He got back to my e-mails right away and was on time for the job inspection and the pour. He and his team helped remove a hedge and poured concrete at three location around my house. The finished job was great, the weather was not in our favor, so he and his team stayed very late to cover up the newly poured concrete so the rain would not mess it up. However there is only so much you can do when mother nature wants to rain. I do have a spot on the concrete that is indented from the cover up. Jeff has offered to come back and fix the minor spot. I will would recommend Jeff to my friends and family. Dave W. read more

We are extremely pleased with Jeff and his teams work. Not only did they do a fantastic job replacing our driveway and sidewalk but also came back a few times very quickly when we needed a bit of extra clean up We highly recommend them read more

Jeff and his crew did an exceptional job installing my new driveway in San Francisco. They were incredibly neat and meticulous, taking obvious pride in a job well done. I recommend them highly. read more

Jeff and his crew did a great job replacing my driveway walls. They were courteous, clean and prompt. I would hire them again.

I asked several companies to quote me for repairing the sidewalk in front of my home, Service Concrete had a bid intermediate in range but they were extremely responsive to my emails and getting the problem fixed. These people are pros, when they couldn't get ahold of my assigned city inspector they used their connections to get another person to talk to our inspector to expedite the process. In my opinion, they are worth the slightly higher price. Their workmanship was excellent and got approved immediately by the city. Definitely recommend. read more

I highly recommend Service Concrete and their excellent service! They gave me a decent and affordable quote to fix the sidewalk around my property. Jeff was very amicable and efficient with communication via phone and email. He and his workers were very fast in repairing my sidewalk despite setbacks that came with COVID-19, and now the sidewalk is now nice and flat! Even my neighbors say that the sidewalk was fixed nicely! I would definitely use his services again. read more

Took too much effort to get them to do the job correctly. First time was a disaster. Upset the city inspector which cost me more money. Second time had to watch every move they made. Had to argue and fight with them every inch of the way. Stay away. If they are cheaper, there is a reason. Again, way way way too much trouble. Very hard headed and very emotional. Overall a horrible experience. Whatever we saved in fees was wasted by having to manage them every inch of the way. STAY AWAY. read more

I got a notice from the city requiring some tree pruning and sidewalk repairs. I reached out to Jeff a couple week ago and liked his level of responsiveness so I sent him a copy of the City's notice and asked him for a bid. He went by the building to see the sidewalk squares that the city marked for replacement, and he came in with a bid that was competitive, so I gave him the OK to move forward. Before starting on the job, I needed to figure out whether I'd be expanding the tree basins for the street trees or not since the roots were getting large, so I told Jeff that I'd have an arborist make a determination on the best thing to do for the trees. This is when things got weird. I asked him if there would be a reduced rate if we ended up expanding the tree basin and wouldn't have to replace all the sidewalk squares that the City marked. He explained that his bid covered his crew for the entire day and he wouldn't be able to reduce the price; fair enough. Then, he mentions that he wants to take a second look at the trees' roots for himself and provide his opinion on what we should do, so I waited for him to stop by the building to do this. I spoke with Jeff today - a day or two after he went back to see the trees' roots - and he tells me that his original quote only covers the replacement of 9 out of the 20 squares that the City marked for replacement. Flabbergasted, I remind him that his quote says, "The price for replacing marked sidewalk squares by the city would be $xx plus city sidewalk permit or approximately $xx. The price includes all labor and materials, plus patching the area at the property's front entrance." There's absolutely no mention of only 9 out of 20 marked squares being repaired/replaced. I ask him how and why this has changed from his original bid, and his reason was that he made the determination on his own to only replace some squares?!?!?!?!?!?!? Jeff, shouldn't information like this be presented to your client up-front? We had multiple conversations over the last couple weeks, yet you failed to make any mention of this. Or do you always do this to your customers, trying to gouge them after the fact? Slimy... read more

After the city tagged my sidewalk I was lucky enough to find Jeff and his team to repair it. Jeff came by the day after I contacted him, compared to three other companies that never even returned my calls. His rate was very reasonable so I decided to add an additional walkway to the project. Being in the business for many years, Jeff personally knows the city inspectors and is very familiar with the permit process. Also, I was impressed when Jeff said the city inspectors were reasonable people - I assume that meant he has constructive, not combative, relationships with them. Within a week after my initial contact Jeff completed the job and it looks fantastic! read more

As part of our home remodel, we had do replace our sidewalk, driveway and curb according to SF regulations. Jeff from Service Concrete went above and beyond what we had contracted for him. First, he understood the city requirements so well that he pointed out an important mistake on our curb design (which had been drawn by the architect and approved by the city). He advised us on correcting the mistake and we were able to get it resubmitted to the city without any problem. This saved us from a very expensive problem. He did this even before we selected him -- he was just doing his homework before preparing our proposal. Second, a city inspector required us to install a concrete-filled metal pipe in front of our water heater. We told Jeff about this on Thursday and even though this wasn't in his scope of work, we asked him and he came on Saturday to install the pipe, allowing us to pass inspection on Tuesday. Jeff quoted a very fair price, happily did the work, and the price was just as he quoted. What I also like about Jeff is that he was present and involved in the entire process. Through this remodel I have been working with other subcontractors and it's always an "Estimator" who gives you the good sell, and then the work is done by someone else who doesn't quite live up to the promises that the estimator gave. For Service Concrete, Jeff is the one responsible from beginning to end. In the end, Jeff poured a beautiful new sidewalk, driveway and curb, passed inspection, and did it all within schedule at a price that beat 2 other bids. Great service, great price. read more

I saw the first review for Service Concrete after I had consulted with them. I didn't let it sway me from hiring them since my consultation with their foreman Jeff, showed him to be a patient and reasonable person. Also, the first review seemed to be written by someone who can never be happy; you know the type. That said, let me tell you about my wonderful experience with Service Concrete. I needed a retaining wall between my neighbor's property and mine. We each wanted to terrace our sloping yards differently, so a new wall was needed to accommodate us both. The wall needed to be fifty feet long, average three feet high, and step down at intervals. On top of the wall we wanted to build a new wooden fence. Once we had removed any plants we wanted to keep, and a few we didn't, Jeff and his men began work. They made quick work of digging the trench, building extremely solid forms for pouring the concrete into, and reinforcing the whole thing with rebar. I had specific and general aesthetic requirements which they were happy to accommodate. Jeff worked closely with me on the positioning of the post brackets so I could achieve the fence design I was after. He listened to my ideas and worked to implement them. When it came time to pump in the concrete, Jeff and his crew took their time to make sure it was done right. When they came back to remove the forms, I had to leave for the day. When I came home, not only was my beautiful new wall in place, but they had cleaned everything up and shoveled all the dirt back next to the wall. I couldn't be happier with the work they did, and though it wasn't cheap, I found the price to be completely fair. I also enjoyed talking with Jeff who is a friendly and interesting guy. I will definitely hire them again for a future retaining wall project I have in mind. I recommend Service Concrete highly! read more

We wanted to remove the concrete covering our front yard so we could build raised beds. Jeff and his crew demo'ed and hauled away the 9'x11' concrete hardscape covering our front yard and built a 3 foot hight retaining wall on one side of our property (needed because now we had exposed dirt and live on a hil). I received several estimates, and in all honesty Jeff's was about 10% higher than the others. However the other contractors were either sketchy, flaky, or did not show up for the estimate appointment. Jeff was responsive and also spent the most time with me going over the project so he really understood what we wanted. Throughout the pre-project planning Jeff was very responsive including responding to e-mails quickly and at times in the evening or on weekends. On the day of the work, his crew arrived right on time and did a great job. They also gave me some helpful tips for the DIY garden project I was about to begin. There were some issues which came up, as far as contractors go they were probably mild. Some debris and concrete wound up on my neighbor's side of the retaining wall, and there were some areas of the wall which were chipped away when the forms were removed. All of these issues were resolved appropriately and within a couple of days after I contacted Jeff about them. Also on the day of the project, I think there was a little bit of a miscommunication between Jeff (who gave the instructions and then had left the work site for a bit) and the mason who was building the wall regarding exactly what was to be done, I realized this and pointed it out and it was resolved. Overall Jeff is honest and fair, the work was well done, because you get what you pay for, the slightly higher rate was worth the investment. read more

Very happy with their work--fixed our city-tagged sidewalk. They were quick and reasonable. The only issue I had was that they didn't come by to look at the sidewalk, but it turned out to not even matter. I would definitely recommend. read more

Great job. Removed lots of concrete in record time at a fair price.

Jeff and his team are first rate! He is extremely responsive by email, the work required coordination with our tree team and they dovetailed perfectly. The quality of the work was terrific, his team is great and the price was fair and reasonable. Highly recommended! read more

Jeff and his team built a new retaining wall in our hillside backyard in San Francisco. The work was done quickly and done well.

We had an excellent experience with this outfit. The city required us to fix our sidewalks within 30 days of the notice. After contacting 7 other firms, Service was the first to get back to me, send an estimate and confirmed the timing of the work. Jeff, the owner, communicated through every step in the process, showed up on time and fulfilled their commitment to complete the work. Jeff, his supervisor Chris and the team did an excellent job, and were respectful of our property. Highly recommend this company! read more

Jeff knows concrete and is an honest contractor. He built a massive retaining wall on Potrero Hill for me and the results were excellent. When going into large projects, it's a certainty that there will be surprises, so you need someone to work with you through these challenges fairly. I felt calmer knowing that Jeff was my partner. He has also done smaller jobs for me (walkways and sidewalk squares) and the results were also great. Thank you! read more

Tried to get an estimate from this company twice and never heard back. Both times I called, someone picked up right away and was attentive and was willing to go out to the job site for a look and provide an estimate. The first time I called, the guy picked up without saying the usual "hello, this is so and so business", but instead this super soft almost like a whisper and I thought to myself...uh...did I call the correct number? So I had to ask, "is this service concrete?" I gave the guy my address and what I wanted to have done and he said he would go check out the location and provide an estimate within 24 hours. It was weird how he didn't ask for my name or phone number to call back, but I assumed he had my number on his caller ID. So a few days roll by and I don't hear back. I called again and reminded the guy (I think same guy, as he never said what his name was) about my call a few days ago and about an estimate. He seemed to remember but had to ask my address again...and he said he was driving at the moment and would be driving by to check out the site. Well...that was it, never to be heard from again and at this point I wasn't that desperate to follow up. Why would I? I'm willing to pay several thousands of dollars (approx. $7k+) for work to be done and you don't want it? Oh well your call. read more

Needed to demo and replace the concrete floor in my garage and behind my home. I got three referrals from Build Zoom. Service Concrete was notable because they were the only company of the three to have a CA license specifically for concrete work. The rest had general contractor licenses. Jeff's bid was also the lowest of the three. And I could tell by the answers he gave when he scoped the project that he knew what he was talking about. We scheduled the job. He offered to start a day earlier. He had parking permits. He was organized. He needed no hand-holding. His crew just showed up and got the job done. He did the demo in one day, though we allowed for two just in case. He poured the new floor in one day. Then we just waited a few days for it to dry thoroughly. The new concrete looks great. My only regret was he could not deliver on my request for a low carbon emitting mix. To get it would have delayed my start date. I appreciated their professionalism and quality. read more

Got several bids for replacing a 4 ft high wooden retaining wall in our backyard. The wall spanned the width of our yard on two levels, and also jutted in and out at several angles, creating a far from simple design layout. Jeff at Service Concrete was not only competitively priced, but he also seemed to have a great sense of customer satisfaction - - working to find the best combination of aesthetics, design, cost and structural integrity. Once the project started, he was on-site on a regular basis and often also worked side by side with the crew. If I have to cite a negative, it's only that the crew was not able to work a full 5 day week, so the project took several weeks longer than estimated. This was a bit frustrating, but offset by how friendly and courteous the crew was. All was forgotten when the project was finished and the end result far exceeded our expectations. They took extra pains to preserve plants that needed to be dug up, and even helped us transplant and save a mature apple tree. We've already recommended them to friends, who are equally as pleased with their project too. I would definitely recommend! read more

Jeff and his team are amazing! They responded to my request with a few hours. After looking at the space we wanted removed around our tree, Jeff had concerns about DPW and permits. He was right - DPW needed to mark the area before any concrete could be removed. Once that was done, Jeff took care of the job within 24 hours. And it looks great. I highly recommend Service Concrete. They know what they are doing and they do it well. read more

Jeff and his team leveled/repaved our sidewalk for a very good price. Good quality, reliable and responsive.
