We shopped around for weeks, received so many quotes, then Ivan finally hit our budget with fair and honest pricing. He was communicative and efficient. He even recommended another subcontractor to clean up our landscaping (Roque, who was also very fairly priced). He placed a brand new foundation, reinforcing rebar, and a sweet gate (chef's kiss). I work in construction and Ivan passed the test with flying colors. Our wall was in terrible shape before Ivan and his crew came. I honestly was SHOOK when he did such a great job, especially considering the site constraints. They had to haul everything out A MANO (by hand). Bro... talk about hard working crew!! Check the photos, I have evidence. Stop shopping around and call Ivan already! HE'S THE BEST‍

His suggestions and explanations for planning made me trust him and his price was in the middle, and worth it. I had him construct concrete flooring in the yard and it aligns well with my previous concrete. It took weeks for it to become the color I expected because the weather kept on raining, but now I have a wonderful concrete flooring that is so incredibly maintenance free. I am thankful to have Ivan and his team. I highly suggest him if you have a project.

They were very competitively priced and still felt like we got great quality work.

I would definitely recommend them and will definitely call them for my next project.

He took the time to carefully measure everything, explain the work clearly, and helped our community make the right long-term decisions instead of just the cheapest fix. The quality of the concrete work turned out great, and what impressed us the most was the follow-up service after completion. When we had some concerns about curing color variation, Joe personally came back with his team to inspect and take care of everything right away. That level of responsibility and professionalism is rare nowadays. Very fair pricing, great communication, and a team that truly stands behind their work. We're very happy with the result and would gladly work with RC Concrete again in the future.

Andrew's crew did a pretty decent job with my concrete work. I spent approximately $15k on the…read morejob. His workers are very hard working and dependable. They always showed up on time everyday and sometimes earlier than expected to do the work. I was really happy with their work ethic. I was going to give a 4-5 star review. However, my interactions with Andrew was not the greatest. He started off very responsive when providing me a quote for the job but the communication started to dwindle once he knew the job had started and his bid was accepted. He never once visited the job to verify and conduct quality control. Good thing he had dependable workers who took ownership of the job. Fast forward to when the job completed and a full payment has been made by me, I requested for a receipt and he's been unresponsive. He responded at first telling me he would send over a receipt but never followed through with his promise. Eventually, he completely started to ignore my calls and texts. It's a simple receipt request for my own records but I received zero reply. I'm glad things worked out so far with my concrete work but it's really concerning that there's been a lack of communication from the owner of the company. Not sure how much accountability anyone has when they collect someone's money and completely ghost them. If I could have gone with another company I would have just for someone who can provide better service all the way through the entire process.

I hired Apex to help me redo and repave my front driveway. After meeting with over a dozen contractors and driveway/pavement professionals, I ultimately chose Andrew due to his communication skills, fair pricing, and flexibility.

Throughout the entire process, I greatly appreciated how easy it was to communicate my questions directly with Andrew via text and phone. Additionally, the guys were incredibly accommodating towards my specific circumstances -- I had construction working around them on the inside of the home and the Apex crew were tidy, professional, and considerate of those other workers.

We ABSOLUTELY LOVE our raised patio that Monroe Masonry built for us!!! It turned out so well and…read moreworking with Eddie and his team was such a positive experience that even though it was almost a year ago they did the work, I just had to share. We got other bids on the project but none compared to the honest, straightforward communication we got with Eddie. We benefitted from his years of experience but also from his long-held contacts in the field. During the building process things came up like needing the footings for the posts of a pergola another contractor was going to build for us on top of the patio but he was out of the country at the time. Not a problem. Eddie had worked with him on previous projects and was able to get the footings and install them for us. Then we needed to make decisions regarding any electrical we wanted on and around the patio which needed to be encased in tubing with all the other underlayment and Eddie's electrician buddy came right away to help us so that our project didn't get delayed. We didn't work with an architect on this project. It was just me laying down a garden hose to visualize what a patio would look like and going over it with my husband. Getting the elevations right was tricky since we didn't want a railing to obstruct our view of the garden. Eddie was so helpful with this but he also has the smartest right-hand-man, I think his name is Manuel, who saved the day for me. I wanted to extend the patio out a certain way and in telling him what I envisioned he improved the design on the spot! He eliminated one of the steps transforming the design making it more seamless and elegant. A small thing and yet it was huge in the scope of things. Don't hesitate to have Monroe Masonry do your job. Your only problem might be that he'll be too booked with work when you call.

We usually do most of our own home repairs, gardening, and DIY projects. One thing we could not do…read moreourselves was replace our circa 1917 old cracked 82 feet long driveway and widen our 7' driveway approach (with a steep angle of approach designed for a model-T) to a new 12' wide City standard driveway approach with less than 8 degrees angle of approach. We would need a licensed contractor who could work within the City of Alhambra's public-right-of-way. We started calling for quotes in early April of 2014 and A.F.R. Masonry, Alex Diaz, gave us our second lowest bid out of 6 bids. Alex was the only contractor who said he would honor his bid longer than 60 days. The City of Alhambra would definitely need more than 60 days to complete the relocation of a water meter that was in the way of a new driveway approach. I liked the fact that Alex said he had his own digger (to break and haul concrete) and he was based locally in El Monte. His bid price was a definite draw (one of our highest bids from another general contractor was more than triple the amount of Alex's). So after the water meter was relocated we called Alex and he said he was available to do our job within two weeks and could complete the job in approximately 6 working days. The job is just finishing up today and I just had to write up this review. I have been waiting a long time to be able to drive into my driveway without hitting my tires on the curb face. The new no frills driveway is so much more pleasant to look at then our old cracked and patched driveway. The only thing that other homeowners might have an issue with would be that during the construction, the job-site (my yard) was left with construction materials overnight. But I am definitely fine with dealing with unsightly construction materials overnight during construction for Alex's bid price. It all gets cleaned-up in the end. The work was done on time and on budget! Alex did not complain about having to deal with the large magnolia tree roots adjacent to the driveway approach. He listened to our concerns and made sure they were addressed. The craftsmanship of the concrete work with proper forms, slopes, and finish was definitely on point. I am very happy with the job well done.
