RJF Is the best small business I've ever worked with, hands down. I recently hired them to do some concrete work in my yard. It was a little challenging for them because a third party that involves 2 people (2 more sets of opinions and questions) was dealing with the financial aspect of the job. It made it more work for RJF, but they took it in stride and were very helpful in meeting the requirements (such as having to reword the contract multiple times the day before the job was scheduled to start), and answering the endless list of questions for the third party. Highly professional even when it was, I'm sure, challenging. The third party actually called me after the job wrapped up to tell me how impressed they were with the company. High praise! What I appreciated from the owner was his excellent communication with me, the third party, his crew and his office. The left hand always knew what the right hand was doing. I'd never had concrete work done, and he did a great job of letting me know what to expect for the duration of the job and after. They are extremely punctual, which I appreciate because nobody likes to sit around waiting. His crew works hard whether he's there or not. They were clean, picked up after themselves, polite, & accommodating. I've had contractors not come to the job site once, but he always had his eye on what was going on whether he was there or not, and he'd pick up a shovel and get busy if needed. It was very hot, and he had an ice chest of water for the crew. Those are the little details that signify to me a person is running things well & cares. Robert was really helpful in helping me select what would function best for my situation, which is appreciated because there's a lot to consider. And I had no idea. It was a relief to have a contractor that's trustworthy and didn't take advantage of my lack of knowledge. And also what is the most pleasing from an aesthetic point, because it's important that it drains correctly but I want it to be pretty, too! They went above and beyond, letting me know when they came across some work that wasn't done correctly from prior owners. It wasn't their problem, and they could have easily not brought it to my attention and I would have not known until it became a big expensive problem. They got the job done very efficiently, which was great because we didn't have to live in a construction zone for any longer than was necessary. It was such a smooth experience, from the bid to the final touches. I can't tell you how grateful I am for Robert and his entire crew for making what could potentially be a high stress endeavor a pleasant and smooth one. The finished product totally transformed my back yard and it was money well spent. read more

I highly recommend RJF Concrete Construction and owner Robert J. Fiscalini Jr. (408-710-530). Robert is an excellent listener and provided thoughtful recommendations and modifications that were cohesive, well-integrated, and fully aligned with my architectural vision. He is very cost-effective and conscientious about keeping costs under control without ever compromising quality or integrity. RJF brings an old-school mentality in the best sense--smart, hardworking, and detail-oriented, making sure every "T" is crossed and every "I" is dotted. The crew was well managed, professional, and demonstrated strong work ethics with consistent attention to quality. Robert has deep knowledge of all facets of concrete finishes and applications, passed down through this second-generation family business. Trust, ethics, and standards are extremely high, and he made sure the finished product was nothing short of perfect. The job was well planned and executed, even under difficult weather conditions. In summary, I would confidently recommend RJF Concrete Construction for all concrete, masonry, and architectural finish work--both new pours and remodels. This is a contractor you can fully trust from start to finish. Thank you, Robert, and thank you to your entire crew. read more

It's been several months since I hired RJF to pour a 6" pad for a 2-post lift adjacent to my garage. The drainage slope of the pad was important to me due to potential flooding issues and past history of this area of the property, so I had specific instructions and desires about how I wanted the water to run off half the pad in a certain direction and the other half of the pad in a somewhat more complicated manner so it would end up in my driveway drain. This water management would avoid potential flooding of the garage. The torrential rains have arrived, and the performance of the runoff is absolutely perfect and channeling off exactly as intended. I couldn't be happier. The concrete is still crack free and the lift is installed and functioning well; also very happy events. Thank you RJF for your professionalism; this is a great addition. read more

RJF Concrete & Construction - Beautiful job! - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

After consulting numerous concrete contractors for our new pool decking we hired Robert. His sales pitch was impeccable and he seemed extremely confident and knowledgeable about poolside hardscaping. As the project progressed we started noticing issues with Robert and his communication. He is arrogant and lacks all ability to listen. He repeatedly told my husband ( who he insisted his name was Joe - it's not ) that he would not chose our color..... um.... Never asked him to. According to his guys , he also called them the wrong name. ANY time we noticed something wrong in the project he blamed us. More importantly is the SLOPPY shoddy job he left us. Instead of using new wood for the forms , to save a buck he uses recycled wood from previous projects. Didn't seem like a big deal until we noticed out new platers with crooked lines. We have gray concrete splatter ALL OVER our stucco. When we failed to get it off by a pressure washer we called Robert. His response was " we missed that" followed by "you should have cleaned that up". Ugh.... What ? And then we noticed we had wooden forms left stuck in the planters and door frames. The icing on the cake is the cracks. Upon completion of the project Robert instructed us to water "10 times a day". We did. After about 3 weeks we started noticing cracks - EVER-WHERE. When we called Robert, the first thing he said was " I have cracks in my own backyard" , " it happened to me" . He then continued to say cracks were "normal" in new concrete. At this point he was extremely defensive and told us to call back in month. We did. By that time the cracks had become noticeably worse. We called Robert back..... again we heard about his own back yard cracks as though that would make us feel better. He offered NO solution, NO advice and told us it was OUR fault we had cracks because we didn't water it enough. At this point he claimed he instructed us to water "25" times a day. Further, he stated he had "driven by" and noticed our concrete was dry ?!? Yet, if this was true why wouldn't he have let us know?? Our back yard hardscaping looks great from a distance. If the cracks had not appeared we might have been willing to overlook the shoddy craftsmanship. The slop he left all over the walls, his overbearing arrogance and complete inability to communicate in a normal manner was too much. Midway through the project Robert insisted we had not paid one of the installment checks for $15k. He insisted his wife ( the book keeper ) " does not make mistakes ". We had paid and provided him a copy of the cashed check. What if we just handed over another check ...then what ? In summary, Robert SAYS he knows concrete, maybe he does? We wrote a giant check and are left with a mess and a lot of disappointment. We will be having another concrete contractor come to assess the cracking. At NO point did Robert offer to offer advice nor come assess his own craftsmanship or lack there of. read more

RJF Construction did my backyard project in the fall/winter. I am very happy with all of the work. Robert and his team are truly professionals and they pay attention to details. Robert is happy to follow up even after the project has been completed to answer any questions I have about maintenance or general questions. Having your backyard hardscape done is a choice that must be made with caution. The preparation work must be done properly or the project won't have that lasting appeal. My project is now ready for some fresh soil, connect the irrigation and the lights- just add plants! I'm super excited this spring. So happy I went with RJF. No regrets. read more

Robert did a fabulous job on our pool decking. We had a large existing stamped concrete patio that we were trying to match and he did a perfect job. He and his crew are very professional and reliable. He came back a couple of weeks after the job was completed and he did not like the junction between the existing patio and the new pool decking .... So he ripped out a small portion of concrete and purchased bricks to match some existing brickwork and re did the junction AND did not charge us a penny .... Above and beyond our expectation. Needless to say .... He has our recommendation ! read more

Robert is one of the most amazing contractors I have worked with. Our backyard was just a piece of dirt and Robert transformed it into a luxurious retreat. We used him for all of our concrete work (pool deck, sidewalks) and stone paving (patio, courtyard) through multiple phases. His work was consistently perfect and still looks awesome a year later. Robert has great attention to detail - he had his crew meticulously clean up the work site every evening. He is always smiling and delivers great quality work, on time and on budget. It doesn't get any better than this! read more

I highly recommend RJF Concrete & Construction. Recently, Robert tore out and installed in a new front walkway at my home, and it considerably enhanced the entrance. He augmented the walkway with a design, and he was a perfectionist making sure that every inch was flawless. He also replaced spacers in my concrete driveway that had begun to deteriorate over time. Again, he made sure that everything was done to perfection. In the past he did some tile work in our home and the work is excellent. I will recommend him to friends and family without hesitation. read more
