The care the entire crew put into building our new patio really paid off. Eduardo and his son Eduardo Jr. are true craftsmen and they have put together an excellent crew.

The cost was more than fair for the quality of the service received. Our patio looks amazing and we highly recommend this business.

From the initial estimate through final walk through, their team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made helpful suggestions that improved the final result without pushing unnecessary extras. The quality of the work is outstanding. The porch came out exactly as we envisioned--clean lines, solid construction, and a finish that looks fantastic. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Even the details most people wouldn't notice were done right. They showed up when they said they would, kept the work area organized, and stayed on schedule. Communication throughout the project was excellent, which made the whole process stress-free. What really stood out was their honesty and professionalism. No surprises, no shortcuts--just high-quality work done the right way. If you're looking for a reliable concrete contractor who delivers great results and stands behind their work, I would highly recommend A & J Concrete. We would absolutely use them again.

The pictures I am showing here were taken 1 week after DH Concrete/ Javier De Hoyos, completed the…read morework, and the additional pictures show the deterioration of the color for our patio. We hired DH Concrete for a 28x10 patio in Sept 2020. We debated between plain cement finish and Gull Gray, while he advised about the Gull Gray finish and the much more polished look it would provide. We agreed to his $400 additional fee for the GG finish (this was just for the color, the project itself was much more). WITHIN ONE WEEK of the work completion, and only 1 minor rainfall, the patio looked horrible and is what you see in the first few pictures. After several calls/texts to Javier, he came to see the unpolished and splotchy finish. He then came back with a rep, Bill, from Welch Brothers (one of his vendors) and one of his DH employees. Bill advised us that there had to be a chemical applied to the concrete as the color was underneath the existing layer but suggested the chemical not be applied until May of this year. Javier agreed that this was something he would handle and all agreed that the work was not adequate. We were frustrated that we had a bad looking patio but we appreciated that they agreed that the patio looked bad and some steps would need to be taken on their part to get the results we contracted DH for originally. We agreed to wait until May of this year, and trust Javier De Hoyos to fulfill his contract and agreement. My husband reached out to Javier in May to confirm details and we have several texts whereby Javier confirms the chemical was ordered, the chemical was ready, and that he'd be coming over soon. Long story - he never intended to finish his job. Up until last week, he replied to our text and stated he'd be here on a Friday, and when Friday came, I texted him and he said he was not coming by- that the work was not needed over "manchas" ("stains" in Spanish) . He also said he never said he was coming by - which makes me question if something else is going on since days before he himself texted confirming the date he was coming. I tried to make sure I understood what he was saying, and called but he ignored my 2 calls and voice message. The finish looks amateur and cheap (and we can assure you, his fee was not cheap). Javier De Hoyos is unprofessional, and as far as his work - well these pictures speak for themselves. I am still reviewing my other options - at the very least he can refund our "upgrade" fee for the GG finish. Something to mention, I became focused with my mom's deteriorating health in May and June and did not reach out to him to request he get the job completed with a specific date (although my husband would send texts requesting status on the chemical order) - and looking back I think Javier was hoping we'd forget about everything. Well, my mom passed away in June, and after handling some family priorities, we reached out to him to confirm a date - and I see now he was not expecting us to follow up, nor was he going to fix the mess. I am just stunned at how he handled the situation and treated us.

DISAPPOINTED AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND…read more RICARDO MURILLO reached out to us as we were trying ot back-fill our ravine behind our property. He said he had tons and tons of conrete fill, and asked that we rent him a Bobcat. First we rented him a Bobcat for a 1-day rental. They came back the next day but FORGOT THE KEYS to their truck. We had to pay extra money to get the rental company to come pick-up the bobcat. They left their dump truck on our property for a week. Second, when they finally came back RICARDO asked for us to rent him a DINGO so that they can finish the job pushing the concrete fill. BUT, he used the dingo at other jobs for 3 DAYS BEFORE COMING TO OUR PROPERTY. He tore up half our yard in the process. It's been 3 MONTHS in trying to get him to come back --- our yard looks like crap, and the concrete still sits there and is so unsightly. I've asked him to reimbuse for the 3 days he did NOT use the equipment at our place ($850+) and he keeps giving me the run around. He also went on and on about giving us free material if this and that, but as someone said in another review, I don't think he remembers scope or what he told us previously very well. He hardly returned calls or texts. Or he would give some fluff about "he'll come tomorrow" but no-showed. We trusted him and were patient, but now it's just ridiculous and very disappointing. This has been such a headache for us and now have to spend more money to try and fix the problems they created.

I am not leaving this review based on the quality of the work, but rather on the communication and…read morehow the billing was handled. If this review were based solely on the work itself, I would have given 5 stars. I recently purchased a home and hired D'Franco Painting to remove wallpaper from three rooms, one of which had painted-over wallpaper. Their team successfully removed the wallpaper and completed the work well. My concern is with the billing process. The estimate I received listed 25 hours and was quoted at approximately $2,600. A two-person crew worked on the project for about three days, generally from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (give or take an hour), which led me to believe the total labor would be around 25-30 hours. When I received the final invoice, however, I was billed for 52 hours, bringing the total to approximately $3,890. At no point in the estimate was it stated that the hours were per person, calculated as man-hours, or otherwise dependent on crew size. Nothing in the estimate suggested that the final labor hours could more than double based on how many employees were assigned to the project. It took multiple conversations with both Daphne, the office manager, and David before I understood why there was such a significant difference between the estimate and the final invoice. We paid the bill in full. However, I would have appreciated greater transparency from the beginning. Had I understood how the labor was being calculated, I likely would have completed the project in phases rather than all at once. Because of this experience, we will not be using D'Franco Painting for future projects. If you choose to work with them, I would strongly encourage you to ask detailed questions about how labor hours are estimated and billed so there are no surprises at the end of the project

I urge you to look past the 5-star reviews--owner David told…read moreme himself they had bad ratings and "did some marketing" and now have a bunch of 5 star reviews. Based on my experience, DeFranco Painting is unprofessional, disorganized, and potentially dangerous. David subcontracted the work, and one of his subcontractors threatened me because I wouldn't tell him how much I was paying DeFranco, trespassed into our home after being fired, and had to be removed by David himself when being fired--who then told me to hide in the garage for safety. We even had to call the police due to a confrontation outside our home between David and the subcontractor. David quoted us 3 coats of paint, then denied it mid-job and tried to charge more, despite written proof. He also charged an additional $500 for mud work done in a tiny section of the home. We were also told by his own subs that he doesn't pay them on time, which could result in liens against your property. He failed to provide the proper legal documents required by IL law when requesting final payment. We had to involve an attorney, and instead of resolving the issue, David threatened to put a lien on our house even though he didn't have the correct paperwork. Work took 5+ weeks instead of ~2, and the quality was poor: damaged floors, blinds, window crank, and paint everywhere. Avoid DeFranco Painting. Try A&A or Compos Painting instead--much more professional. Stay tuned for an update to this review pending any response from DeFranco.
