He set an appointment for the following day. Albert showed up on time, in fact a few minutes early which already gave me confidence in him. I told him what I wanted and he said he would get back to me the following day. The next day as promised Albert reached back out and came over with an estimate and explained exactly how the wall needed to be done because of the slope. He showed me pictures of the work he had done on other jobs and it was incredible. I knew at that moment I didn't need to look any further, I found the perfect contractor. I went with Albert to the stone yard and picked out the stone based on his recommendation as to would be best. Albert set a start date and told me exactly how long it should take. He showed up promptly at 7am and started working. I have never had a more dedicated contractor than Albert Mena. He completed the job on time and it was spectacular. Albert's work ethic is unlike any contractor I have ever used, he is simply the best Masonry contractor to be found! He does so many things besides retaining walls. His pricing was great and well worth every penny. You cannot ever go wrong with Albert Mena, I highly recommend him! He is also the nicest and most honest and trustworthy contractor that you will ever find.

The second was more recently to re-lay out garage floor and some concrete blocks on our sidewalk. They did a great job both times, we've had many people comment on how well they parged the walls, including other contractors. They also managed to lower or basement flow by 6 inches down to the bottom of the foundation walls. They've always been on time, great communication, and both jobs have been fantastic. No wonder there's a waiting period to get on their schedule. Highly recommended Carl and his crew!

This review is long overdue for work we had done in October. We needed a contractor to turn a large…read morebedroom into 2 smaller bedrooms for our kids. We needed framing, sheetrock, electrical, trim and closets built. Joe was way more responsive than all other contractors and was very reasonable with costs. The price was exactly what he quoted us. (Another contractor was supposed to start before we found Joe and completely ghosted us around the start date.) Lou was the main guy who was here several days and he was great. We felt totally comfortable with him in our home. Our 4 year old son kept asking where Lou was after the project was completed. Lou worked around us when it came to hours that worked best for our family. Our kids love their bedrooms. And our 4 year old son finally sleeps in his own bed. We will be calling Joe when we are ready to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms.

DISASTER. Turn and run. We hired Joe for a large 203K project. We had problems from the very…read morebeginning: he was slow to start, kept changing his mind about the game plan, complained about the fact that he could get no money up front--terms of the 203K that he had of course agreed to--and pressured us to give him significant up-front money to "help him start". He instructed me in June of 2024 to rush to buy materials for a small bathroom that was still mostly unfinished in April of 2025; that kind of thing happened multiple times. His workers were inadequately supervised, and he was difficult to reach, often saying things like I'm at a kid's soccer game, out to dinner with my daughter, etc. The way that 203K's work is that HUD inspectors come out at regular intervals to make sure that adequate work has been done to make a draw from the total budget. Joe did a bunch of stuff merely to look busy to justify the first draw, in August: a slap-dash exterior paint job over crumbling paint that made a mess and did not hold, for instance. Between the first and the second draw, there was slow but meaningful progress--but by then we were 5 months into a job that we were told would take 4-6 months, and nowhere near done. During much of that 3-month interval he had just one guy working on our huge project, an electrician. After the second draw, in late November, he basically just stopped working on the house. We were making double housing payments the whole time, of course, so we panicked. We were almost out of money. After numerous calls and messages failed to get him to pick up the pace, at the urging of our lender, we scheduled a third draw, 3 months after the second one. At that draw, the HUD inspector certified that no work had been done, so no funds would be paid out. That's when we finally worked up the nerve to fire him. It was terrifying, because our lender told us that we would have trouble getting anyone to take on such a large project with only what was left in the budget after Joe depleted it. By the grace of God, we did find one. He swept in and got the job done in about 4 months. We finally moved in almost exactly one year after closing. Of course we had two mortgage payments the whole time. The work could have been finished within 6 months, or close to it, if we had found a great contractor like the one we found after we fired Mr. Depiano. Working with Mr. Depiano was harrowing. We were newbs at this, and therefore easy to fool. DON'T MAKE OUR MISTAKE.

Altho I did NOT get a recommendation for Joe via FB, I got one straight from a client's mouth. Walking the dog around the neighborhood I came upon a fresh concrete sidewalk and steps that looked very nice! I took note of the sign posted at the worksite, Joe Libertini Concrete and gave him a call. He stopped out the very next morning and gave me a quote on the spot, whereas the other 2 recommended contractors took roughly a week to get a quote to me. I spoke with my neighbor who raved about Joe's work. So...I went with Joe, not only because he beat them on price, but he was also quoting 6" of concrete rather than 4. Additionally, he is the only person whose work I saw for myself. I was very pleased with Joe's work. He is a one man operation renting anything he needs so he can do the work himself. I was very impressed watching him work in the summer heat, and moreso with the work he did. My patio looks fantastic, and with the wire and rebar supporting a 6 inch pad, I should be good for decades to come! Need some concrete? French drain? New sidewalk or patio? Do yourself a favor and get a quote from Joe!
