Ron and his crew are great! They came by for an estimate on a porch remodel and it was a touch higher than what we were expecting but his previous projects looked much better than any of the others. He took great care to suggest ways to do the project that would make things more worth while (doing the front sidewalk as well). The pictures speak for themselves! Will be calling Ron back for the driveway and rear porch in the future. read more

Gave them my address and made appointment to come over to give estimate and never showed. Ghosted me

Used Pasadena Concrete Works in the rebuild of our front porch (and corresponding support columns) on our 100 year old home and so glad we did. The end result exceeded our expectations in every way. We've dealt with a lot of unresponsive contractors who deliver subpar work post Eaton fire, but Ron's Team are true gems. They were in constant contact with us and always available to answer questions. We can't recommend Pasadena Concrete Works enough. read more

Ron and his team are so responsive, prompt and eager to work with you. I reached out for help with a project following the Eaton Fire and Ron got back to me the same day, and was out checking the property the next day. This interaction was following another contractor who strung me along for months saying he could complete the work before eventually not responding. I highly recommend Ron and his team! read more

We are so happy with the amazing job done by Ron, Edwin and their crew on our huge driveway replacement. We collected several quotes before beginning and Ron did the best at explaining options and giving a detailed quote with zero upselling. We have an avocado tree next the driveway and Ron was knowledgeable about how to install a root barrier to prevent the roots from pushing up the new concrete or going towards the house. For the week Edwin & his crew were at our house, they were professional and friendly and did a beautiful job re-doing the driveway and cleaning up. We wanted to run an electrical conduit under the driveway for a future panel on our garage, and the crew trenched and laid the conduit for us. During the job, Ron was very quick to answer questions and gave clear options for problems to solve or decisions to make. Highly recommend! read more

We used PCW over 5 years ago to do some patio cracks/grouting repairs and they did a great job. Recently, we used PCW to do more extensive work as our patio had subsided in certain areas. PCW dug up the patio where needed, identified the cause of the subsidence and replaced/repaired drainage, installed rebar and laid new concrete. The project took about a week. PCW's 4 person team were always on time, worked diligently throughout the days, were very polite and accommodating to our requests and completed the overall project on time. PCW's work was excellent and we are delighted with their service. We highly recommend PCW and will use them again. read more

We are very happy with the service we received from Pasadena Concreteworks, Inc. Ron Leon's quote included detailed descriptions of the work to be done, quality materials, and a competitive bid. To ensure we'd be happy with the results, he made an additional visit to discuss and show us samples of concrete colors available. The crew at Pasadena Concreteworks, Inc. is outstanding. They communicated with us on a daily basis. In addition, they were able to straighten a cinder block column on our driveway that had become tilted due to the house settling, so our gate is now level and closes easily. We were very impressed by their cleanliness and thoughtfulness, not only to our property but also to our neighbors' properties. read more

We were pretty bummed when our plumber told us we would have to tear up part our driveway in order to fix plumbing issues at my family's new home. However, I could not be any happier after getting the sewer repaired and then having Ron and his team from Pasadena Concrete Works come out to fix the driveway. It looks significantly better than when we purchased the house, even before it was missing a huge rectangle where the pipes run. Ron's bid was competitive and he was the only concrete person we met with who told us he could fix our driveway to match how it already looked. He wasn't kidding- the driveway looks great. I love how perfectly Pasadena Concrete Works positioned the clean out (our plumber put one in to prevent future issues). Such a professional job! I am so happy we went with Ron and his team; we had to wait a few weeks for a time slot and it was totally worth it. I get why he was booked up! Ron's team always shows up when they say they will too which we really appreciated. read more

I am very happy to endorse Pasadena Concreteworks, Inc. I worked very closely with Ron Leon, the owner of the business. He was very thorough and prompt with the process of securing permits, submitting all the proper paperwork and speaking with the city inspectors office. He provided photos and descriptions of the work needed to be done, the materials that would be utilized and the timeframe of the project. The crew at Pasadena Concreteworks, Inc. is outstanding as well. They communicated with me on a daily basis. I was very impressed with their cleanliness, thoroughness and the value they provided for the cost of the project. I would without hesitation and with complete confidence recommended Ron Leon and his crew for any concrete project you have. read more

We had our concrete driveway replaced, including a portion of the driveway that looked like a DIY paver job with drainage issues. During the initial consultation with Ron, we were impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. He is straight forward and will give his honest opinion. He communicates well and ensures there are no surprises. Edwin, his foreman, and the rest of the crew were considerate and super easy to work with. Edwin and the crew also helped us fix a sagging gate. The post was not installed correctly and was tilting. They dug down and added reinforcement and a concrete wrap and leveled our metal gate. Our driveway looks great now, complete with a new drainage system. Highly recommend Pasadena Concrete Works! read more

Ron and his crew are a fabulous team that make quality and customer satisfaction their top priority. Ron installed a beautiful walkway and staircase at our house and it was the lowest stress experience I ever had with a contractor. A few months after the installation we had an issue with a drain line that ran under the new concrete work. When I called Ron and explained the problem, he immediately brought a crew over to investigate and see if his work caused the problem. After a bit of excavation Ron found that a previous contractor had used substandard pipe which had collapsed. Although the problem didn't involve any of Ron's work, he did additional excavation and made sure the site was prepped for the repair of the pipe. Ron has incredible integrity and stands behind his work 100%. I highly recommend Pasadena Concrete Works. read more

What a joke. I tried to get a quote and Ron emailed saying: Ron here @ Pasadena Concreteworks, Inc. though I do appreciate extending this wonderful opportunity, but unfortunately it's not within our service areas. I am in the service area. I emailed Ron back telling him: Yelp shows that you do service the area. I'm I missing something? and no response. read more

Just had our old asphalt driveway replace by Ron and his crew and they were incredible. Top to bottom, I couldn't be happier. The crew was friendly and professional and very respectful of our property. A lot of my neighbors have remarked on what a thorough job these guys did and we've got nothing but compliments on the new driveway. So happy with our choice to go with Ron and his crew. A+++++. read more

This review is for the estimate process. Ron was extremely responsive and gave me a quote within the time frame he said. He was on time and very informative. Due to the timing of the project, we weren't able to use his services. His pricing was reasonable as well. Thank you Ron for taking the time to provide us with a thorough estimate. read more

Ron and his crew are what we all hope to find in construction work: honest, friendly, quality work and on time!! If you're looking for concrete work, look no further. I did my due diligence before hiring PCW getting four bids and looked at nine of Ron's jobs. It all added up to the perfect choice and I couldn't be happier with the results. The color matching was great and the drainage is spot on! I will use Ron and PCW again, with certainty!! read more

I wanted to give a great recommendation to Pasadena Concreteworks. They just did my driveway and did an excellent job. Great finish work, great crew. Worked hard and cleaned up well. Ron (the owner) is a stand up guy. They are not the lowest priced I am sure but I think they are a great value. I cannot recommend them enough. I am an architect and can tell a great company when I see one. They are worth checking with for any job you might have. read more

Ron and his crew did a very fine job in replacing a slab of concrete that had been pushed up by tree roots under our driveway. He came out exactly on time for an estimate, went over the replacement options, and then provided a reasonable estimate within an acceptable time. His team came out and completed their work and then he gave us a proper concrete curing time before first use. The results blended nicely with the existing concrete. I highly recommend this business. read more

I tried at least 5 times to connect with the owner for an appointment for an estimate. He finally got back to me after 3 days and said he would call back again for a time. Never happened. I called a couple more times and gave up. I can understand if Ron said he is too busy for my job, but to just leave me hanging is wrong. Not a good indication of service. read more

Needed some advice for a project I'm doing and Ron was incredibly helpful.

I can't say enough good things about Ron Leon and Pasadena Concrete Works. We had a serious need for a quick turn around time on our project and this company met and exceeded our expectations. Competitive price, very high quality work and excellent communication. I was kept in the loop on a regular basis with text messages and progress photos. A very positive experience. We will definitely use this company again!! read more

Greag customer service above all! And excellent job on my new driveway! I love it, thank you to their entire team and Ronald.

While my home planter project was not suited for Pasadena Concrete, Ron was AMAZING to talk to and SO HELPFUL! Such a kind human. If I could ever give him my business I would. He advised me on my project and took the time to answer so many questions for me, even though it did not bring him business. I wish everyone were like this. Thank you, Ron! read more

Ron is fantastic. Easy to work with, responds to texts and emails! His quote was half of what another mason quoted me, but masonry work isn't cheap! Ron build us a 4 foot tall retaining wall. Our job was pretty straightforward, and Ron made the whole experience painless. We passed all of our permitting with no rework and now we have a fantastic wall so that our yard won't erode. 10/10, would recommend to any of my friends. If you want a no-hassle, drama free, reasonable and communicative contractor, this is your guy, look no further. read more

I would highly recommend Pasadena Concrete Works. They redid our driveway and widened our curb. Our driveway was cracking apart and our curbs were old school and narrow. These guys fixed it all. They were competitive on price. They always showed up on time. The crew worked hard and cleaned up everything. And most important, their work product is great. It feels like we got way more than we paid for, and I will use these guys in the future for any of our concrete or paver projects. I am really happy with how it came out and the price was right. read more

Ron was very quick to respond and he answered all of my questions (I had a lot). I appreciated the fact that he didn't try to upsell anything to me and suggested that I find a leak specialist to find the source of my problem (concrete spalling?) before I did anything else. He even suggested that the concrete spalling wasn't bad enough to warrant a complete replacement and that finding/fixing the leak was more important. read more

Ahead of the apocalyptic El Nino rains predicted for early 2016, I worked with Pasadena Concreteworks (PCW) to execute several projects on our La Crescenta home: 1. demolition of two slabs (320 SF and 120 SF) 2. construction of 30' retaining wall 3. construction of 30' sidewalk 4. construction of one slab (~880 SF) 5. construction of 22' block wall for seating 6. construction of ~30 SF sidewalk between driveway and steps leading up to front door Due to many years of not having a retaining wall between our home and the home north of us (on an incline), a significant amount of earth (18'-24" in height) had accumulated along the entire side of our garage. Additionally, in the absence of a retaining wall, rain would seep under our fence and settle in our backyard. To remedy this, PCW removed all of the existing soil and boulders to construct a 30' retaining wall - including a drainage system - and a 30' sidewalk. Given a patchwork of concrete slabs (various heights, colors, and sizes) in our backyard and our preference to have a larger patio (instead of unsightly dead grass and dirt), we decided to demolish all of our existing slabs and create one unified, ~880 SF slab. Another benefit was the ability to match the new slab with the breezeway which was about 6" higher than the existing slab. After PCW hauled away all of the existing concrete and materials to a licensed recycling facility for proper disposal, they poured a new slab - with agreed upon cuts and proper grading - at a consistent height and to allow rain to properly drain instead of pooling. To help create a natural, visual divider between the slab and the rest of the backyard, PCW built a block wall with 12" concrete caps for seating. Finally, because the steps leading up to our front door was at a lower elevation than our driveway, we had issues with water pooling near the steps. PCW demo'd the existing sidewalk and graded the new sidewalk properly so the water tipped to the side where they installed a drain to the street. Ron Leon is PCW's owner and I've already recommended him to a few friends who needed concrete work done. Unlike the other 4 contractors I had come out to bid on the project, Ron provided a thorough estimate outlining the work with a fixed cost. PCW's price was competitive with the other estimates I received, but I felt most confident going with them for two primary reasons: 1) all PCW does is concrete; and 2) Ron's focus while scoping out the project was equally about drainage as it was on aesthetics. Not surprisingly, there was a 3-4 waiting time before we could start our project, but Ron stayed in close touch by text/e-mail and there were no surprises before or after we started. I was pleased with Edwin, the foreman assigned to our ~3 week project, as well as the other PCW employees who were all courteous and diligent. The work typically started at 8 am and they worked until the mid-afternoon. PCW had a portable bathroom installed for their crew. Remember, cash or check only. Thanks again, Ron! read more

We searched for dedicated, professional craftsmen to help us make a significant investment in our home, and we found what we were looking for in Pasadena Concrete Works. We needed a new driveway, path, arroyo rock front porch and retaining wall, and Ron helped us conceive the project in an architecturally tasteful way, appropriate to the period and scale of our 1920s house. He really knows his stuff, and is conscious of creating a design that will stand the test of time. Unlike many of the vendors we consulted, he really patiently listened to us, and helped us get exactly what we wanted, down to the precise finish of the driveway, curve of the path, and gorgeous rock walls. He also made many great suggestions that helped us refine what we wanted, including capping the porch wall to create bench seating, creating a place for neighbors to gather (we've already had cocktails there to celebrate the project's completion!) The end product is so much better than we had dreamed. His foreman, Edwin, was amazing in executing the job with meticulous neatness and care. Can you imagine a contracting job where all the neighbors keep coming over to tell the owners how great the workers are? That's what happened to us! This renovation was a significant investment for us, and I can't say that Pasadena Concrete Works was the cheapest option out there. But my goodness, they were worth it. The job was on time and on estimate TO THE PENNY. We highly recommend! read more

Great job! Well done, they even went the extra yard and made sure everything looked great when they finished. They were a bit more expensive than other vendors I checked, but the quality of work easily proved "you get what you pay for". Highly recommend. read more

We recently purchased a new home and needed to install a concrete patio. We knew just who to turn to--Ron at Pasadena Concrete Works. This is the second job he's done for our family and we could not be more thrilled. He gave us ideas how to maximize our space, and now we have a gorgeous wrap-around patio where my kids can play ball and ride their scooters. Ron and his team led by Edwin are perfectionists and treated our property with the utmost respect. Do yourself a favor--hire Ron yesterday!! You won't be disappointed! read more

To be completely honest I would not use PCW again. From my experience, if you have a simple straightforward project with little or no complexity then PCW can likely get it done. But if you have a project with special considerations that requires attention to details and unique drainage issues this is not PCW's strength. Ron is very pleasant and a good salesman, but for complex jobs an experienced concrete contractor professional would be a better choice. By the way, PCW had the highest bid from all concrete contractors I contacted. read more

As the other reviewers say, PCW's work is top notch. The price was extremely reasonable when compared to other bids I received. What really stands out is his customer service. From the moment Ron showed up, I felt that everything was going to come out fine. He's very accommodating throughout the process. Even on the first morning when PCW showed up to start work and we saw the outline, we realized we wanted some changes. Ron was unfazed and adjusted the plan accordingly. It's done, and it's better than we'd imagined. Our last minute adjustments continued as we picked out wall caps. The PCW stone mason was amazing. We picked out slate caps that needed to be cut and beveled to size and the work is flawless (see picture). I highly recommend PCW, as they can handle it all: paths, walls, stone masonry. All with patience and care. We even had some neighbors who stopped by and were impressed by the quality of work and the friendliness of the crew. read more

I highly recommend Ron and Pasadena Concrete Works! They recently replaced my asphalt driveway with concrete and it looks amazing. Ron is incredibly good at communicating with you during every step and explains things very well. He did everything he promised to for the price he quoted.

Driveway Redone. Just had my driveway redone from tree damage and the result is PERFECT. Pasadena Concrete Works does amazing work. Highly professional, drainage considered, work completed on time with everything clean and neat. I have had this company do other work for me and it is always superb. I highly recommend Pasadena Concrete Works. read more

We are so happy with the work Ron and his crew did for us. They constructed a 70 foot long garden wall along the side of our house. Ron was open to all of our design ideas and sourced the exact decorative block we wanted. The finished product is solid and beautiful and doesn't look like a big boring wall. He and his foreman, Edwin, expertly coordinated everything (material delivery, dumpster drop off and pickup) so that there was no inconvenience to us or our neighbors. They even worked with our next door neighbor to ensure that she was happy with the wall and border on her side. I would certainly recommend Pasadena Concrete Works. We will definitely have them back again because the work never ends. read more

I would highly recommend Pasadena Concrete Works. Ron did a wonderful job of replacing my damaged 3 foot wall next to the sidewalk on a corner lot. Also, thanks to Edwin, his foreman, who made a very helpful suggestion to improve the appearance of the wall as it turned and went uphill. The crew worked very hard in extreme heat and left the job site in a clean condition. They responded respectfully to a request I made regarding concrete at the base of the wall and completed the task immediately. Ron is a professional who complied with the Building Code for the City of Pasadena and received the proper permit. He takes pride in his work and responds immediately to questions by email or phone. I have recommended him to all my friends and would not hesitate to call him again in the future. Great job! J. Kiva, Pasadena read more

It was really a pleasure working with Pasadena Concrete Works! We are thrilled with the work Ron and his crew recently completed at our home. It was important to us that the walkways reflect the time period of the house- 1924, and Ron worked with us to create a walkway that we will enjoy for many years to come. He was even able to color the concrete and create the same markings from the original walkways. Ron is professional, friendly, and a great communicator. I highly recommend them! read more

I contacted Pasadena Concrete Works after another company wasn't clear on their quote for my cracked retaining wall, and failed to follow up. PCW had great Yelp reviews so I gave them a call. Ron, the owner, called me back the same day and we discussed the project. It was important for me to find an honest company as I live in NYC, and my property in Los Angeles is a rental. Ron personally checked the LA property and thoroughly went over everything that needed to be done. Ron really went out of his way to make me feel comfortable that the job would be done right, and would send text updates daily through the process. True to his word, I received texts with many pictures of the job as it progressed. It was such a painless process and Ron and his crew are true professionals. I've worked with several contractors throughout the years, and by far, PCW may be the best! read more

Don't bother looking for anybody else! Ron will give you a fair price (not the cheapest, but fair (I checked)) and deliver superior results. He responds quickly to any questions or concerns you may have. We had 2800 square feet of concrete installed, with some grading, on our home that was 60 miles away from where we were living at the time. Some retaining wall as well. We received almost daily updates, with pictures and were apprised when surprises happened (they will). Their attention to detail was superb and we are completely satisfied with the product.! Pasadena Concrete definitely earns the 5 Star Rating! read more

What a flake! Ron made an appointment with me. Then he cancelled that one and requested another date, same time. Guess what? No Ron, no telephone call. I called him an hour after our appointment and got his voice mail. It's now six hours later and nothing. If this is the way a guy who used to be in the hospitality business works, then perhaps he should go back to that world. He certainly didn't show me any courtesy or hospitality! read more
