From start to finish, Blake, the owner, was incredibly professional, communicative and patient. He took the time to walk us through the entire process, answered all our questions and offered helpful suggestions to ensure the best outcome. Blake, Elvis and team were all hard workers and really took pride in the job. It was clear that they knew exactly what they were doing and attention to detail was evident in the finished product. The concrete looks flawless, and aesthetically pleasing. The team was efficient, timely, and left the work site clean. We were impressed by how smoothly the project went, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend Gold Star Concrete to anyone looking for quality work with great customer service. A huge thank you to Blake, Elvis and team for making our new concrete and home look amazing!

The owner, Nick, does not take any responsibility for the mistakes or actions of the crew he sends over. Francisco made lewd gestures and comments grabbing his crotch while talking about his Louie. I notified Nick and he warned me that I better be able to prove it. I wanted a patio that would keep water from running into my house. To compromise he suggested he patch the low spots. The color of patching does not match the patio. To raise the area around my door they added concrete that covers a good part of the threshold. I gave Nick a detailed description with schematics to place everything where it should be. The worst was the wall that they built which was nothing like the schematic showed or what the contract promises. He refuses to fix the wall because it would be a big job. The drainage system is not as it should be. Anytime something is brought to his attention there is a reason for doing it his way. He does not supervise. The guys he sends do not follow the plan. Probably because Nick is never around to guide them. Make sure you have cameras or else have someone there that you trust to watch the entire process

The crew showed up when they said they would, worked hard every day, and kept everything organized. They were easy to talk to and answered any questions I had without making me feel like I was bothering them. The finished driveway came out exactly how I was hoping. Everything is clean, straight, and looks really well done. You can tell they care about the quality of their work instead of just trying to finish as fast as possible. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, and there were no surprises. It's hard to find contractors that are reliable these days, but these guys definitely were. I'd have no problem recommending Coastal Concrete to anyone looking to get concrete work done. Really happy with how everything turned out.

The whole team even took an old playhouse and redesigned it safely for our kids on the hill. Matt's design, attention to detail, and the time he took with our project was above and beyond.

He gave me an incredibly fair proposal with an expedited timeline. Due to some construction issues, I am currently unable to move forward with the project, but he was gracious and kind despite the circumstances.

From the very beginning when I first reached out to Juan to the last day of our project, Juan and his dudes were amazing. Not only is Juan responsive, attentive, but his passion for design, landscape and life in general is what really sold me. Within 24 hours of meeting him, he had an itemized bid, a drawing and some design ideas sent to my email. The project took a total of 8 weeks, with several days off so I would say maybe 6 total. I loved the end result and have attached a few pics (they do not do this yard justice): They installed a flagstone walkway, planted 23 plants and some ground cover, created a really pretty wall made of similar colored rock around the new landscape, painted the front of my house, installed drip irrigation and upgraded drainage beyond the project area to ensure that there would be no flooding. Lighting along the walkways, and underneath the wall was also installed. His team also installed a wall fountain in the courtyard, and went ahead to install timers for the lights and the fountain. A nice touch that I didn't' expect was that Juan had his team wire the fountain and the lighting so that it was well hidden. I can't tell you how many people will do work and leave trash behind, and not think about the esthetics, but Juan's team took all of that into consideration. He worked with me on prices and stayed true to his original bid. I really appreciated how kind his team was and how courteous they were to my space and my home, which is my sanctuary. Thank you again, Juan!

We recently hired Mendenhall Concrete to replace our driveway, widen it by 6 feet, install a new…read moreL-shaped front walkway, replace and widen the side walkway to our garage, and redesign the front entry by eliminating a crumbling brick step and incorporating it into the new walkway. I can honestly say this was the best experience I've ever had with a home improvement contractor. From start to finish, Mike Stratton and his team were outstanding. Mike is friendly, responsive, knowledgeable, and clearly takes pride in his work. He was flexible throughout the project as I made a few design changes along the way, and he was always willing to discuss options and offer thoughtful recommendations. What really impressed me was that many of Mike's best ideas didn't increase the cost of the project. He suggested installing a sleeve under the new driveway so I could easily run irrigation or electrical lines to the other side in the future, something I hadn't even thought about before he mentioned it and will almost certainly make use of. He also recommended embedding a drainage pipe beneath one area of the concrete so that, if drainage ever became an issue, it would already be in place and could easily be tied into. He also recommended removing the old porch step to create a seamless, modern transition to the front entry. As we discussed different layout ideas, including curves versus straight runs, he made it clear that the cost would be the same regardless of which design I chose, allowing me to focus on what looked best rather than what cost more. The workmanship was exceptional. The crew was professional, friendly, and obviously very experienced. You could tell these are craftsmen who have been doing this for a long time. They worked efficiently, never seemed rushed, and paid attention to the details. Mike stopped by every day, often multiple times, to check on progress, answer questions, and make sure everything met his standards. The project stayed on schedule from beginning to end, with each phase flowing smoothly into the next. They also went above and beyond at the finish by repairing stucco that had been disturbed during construction, rehanging my gate, and even patching some older stucco adjacent to the project that wasn't really part of the job. The finished driveway and walkways look fantastic and have completely transformed the curb appeal of our home. Just as importantly, the work looks incredibly solid. Even the walkways were built with the same attention to durability as the driveway. Nothing about the project felt like corners were being cut. The price was also very fair. In fact, another contractor I'm working with on a separate project, someone who frequently works alongside concrete companies, told me that the price I paid was very reasonable for the scope of work being performed. I recommend Mendenhall Concrete without hesitation. When I'm ready to tackle the backyard, they'll be my first call.

I hired this concrete company for two separate projects, including backyard pavement work…read more Unfortunately, both experiences were stressful and uncertain. The main issue was that we would agree on a scope of work and price, but after the job started, he would later complain about the price or try to change the terms. On one project, he initially offered a discount if I paid cash, but about a week later said he could no longer honor that arrangement. I agreed to pay the full amount because he is also my neighbor across the street and I wanted to keep things friendly. I also asked him to repair damaged stucco under my patio doors, and he agreed to include that work. While I was traveling, he sent me a bill for the full amount, and I paid assuming the agreed work had been completed. When I returned, I found that the stucco repair had not been done. I asked him again to fix it. He sent a long message complaining about the price and scope of the work, apologized, and said he would fix it -- but he never did. After dealing with repeated complaints, uncertainty around agreed pricing, and unfinished promised work, I gave up. I would not hire him again. In my opinion, there was too much inconsistency and stress for work that should have been handled clearly and professionally.
