Salzano Custom Concrete was better than advertized. They build a stamped concrete patio in my backyard that exceeded my and my family's expectations. We are excitedly adding to the patio to make it a huge part of our home experience. Thank you CJ, Maria and the rest of the Team! read more

It has been four years and the cracks are visible from the street after it rains but are only cosmetic in nature, structurally the driveway is sound. There are control joints in place are where it is hoped that the inevitable cracks will happen, unfortunately the cracks in our driveway occurred outside of the control joints. The owner of Salzano's came out to see the cracks and treated them with a product that will hopefully keep them from getting more noticeable. The previous asphalt driveway was probably not even aesthetically pleasing when brand new. The concrete and brick edging from Salzano's is a tremendous improvement still after four years. I just wished the concrete and Mother Nature worked together to have the cracks happen inside the control joints. read more

Great experience from Salzano from the original consultation to the installation. The entire team was communicative, professional, and left the site cleaner than they found it. The multi color stamped concrete and landscape lighting looks amazing! Thanks CJ & team! read more

Great experience from start to finish! CJ took lots of time with us explaining the different concrete porch and sidewalk replacement options. He was especially helpful in our understanding of the pros and cons of each choice. In the end, we chose Bluestone and could not be happier with the results. Their master stone mason, Leonardo, did a fabulous job in overlaying our existing concrete with the new bluestone. His attention to detail was impeccable and perfect! Great experience from start to finish! read more

CJ and Maria at Salzano were extremely helpful, professional and cooperative during our patio project. After interviewing 6 different concrete contractors, there was no question that Salzano was far and away the best choice, and what happened after I selected them proved me correct. I believe others will be pleased with them too. read more

We contacted Salzano Custom Concrete after they were referred to us by a friend. CJ the owner came out and spoke to us about our many options. We found CJ to be very knowledgeable. CJ and his team was very open and helpful with our many design changes. After our patio with a fire pit was completed we were amazed at its quality and beauty. It a true piece of art. We would highly recommend them read more

CJ Salzano knows his stuff and it was a pleasure to work with him! From the first pre-construction to the final inspection, CJ answered all of our questions, provided insight into potential design changes, communicated fully, and worked very diligently to give us a beautiful stamped concrete patio. We could not be more pleased and would highly recommend that any who are considering a stamped concrete patio reach out to Salzano. read more

I contacted four businesses for a concrete driveway quote. Salzano offered a very affordable price point, comparable to affordable national price points on concrete driveways, while the other three companies were astronomically high. Salzano was very easy to reach over email and consistently replied within 24 hours. His contract was very clear, with an itemized break down of costs. On the actual day, the team completed the entire project in one day. We encountered one hiccup with communication between Salzano and the foreman, which caused the job to not be fully completed as agreed upon in the contract. Salzano came to our house the same day of the issue and proposed a modified plan. He ended doing this modification free of charge. A smaller team came out to complete this small modification and they were done in an hour or two. They also leveled out the bordering ground around the driveway and added grass seed. We've received so many compliments on our new driveway from neighbors! It's been about a month and a half since installation and so far so good! We're very happy customers. Thanks, Salzano! read more

CJ Salzano and his foreman Maria were excellent to work with from start to finish. They showed up when scheduled, took care not to damage anything in our yard, and cleaned up well at the end of each work day. The driveway, walkway, and landing they did for us turned out beautifully. We liked their crew so much we hired them to fix a sunken area in an existing paver patio in our backyard, re-level it, apply new sand, and seal it. If we ever have a concrete job in the future, we'll be hiring Salzano Custom Concrete again. Highly recommend this company. read more

I highly recommend Salzano Custom Concrete for any home-related construction work, including driveway repaving or other exterior concrete or stone construction. We hired them to repave our driveway and I'm happy to say Salzano did a great job. Their work crews are polite and professional, taking care to meet the customer's expectations. C.J., the owner, is very responsive to customer needs and he takes extra time to ensure his company delivers quality work. read more

Salzano Custom Concrete could not have done a better job than they did on our project. My wife and I are 100% satisfied and recommend them with no reservations. They're in high demand which means you'll wait to have your job done. From scheduling the initial appointment with CJ Salzano to completion, the process took about 7+ months. But it's worth the wait. Our job involved a patio of about 750 square feet with fire pit, sitting wall, lighting, and multi-color stained concrete. It required some grading of the property and the use of curbing at the back of the patio. In the front of the house, they jackhammered out the existing 160 square foot walkway and replaced it with multi-color stained concrete. Based upon when we came up on the waiting list, our job was done in December/January -- cold, wet, and not entirely conducive to doing this work. But CJ's workers were here whenever the weather cooperated, and we are completely pleased with the outcome in both the front and back of our house. CJ is incredibly professional and open with the process. He tells you what to expect, and then everything proceeds exactly as he said it would. No surprises here. When the work commences he does a terrific job of checking the work and keeping you informed of what to expect based upon weather. And unlike other contractors we've worked with who treated every question as an opportunity to increase the price, that was not the case here. "How much more will it cost to use brick on the fire pit and sitting wall than concrete?" resulted in this immediate response from CJ: "nothing." It was incredibly refreshing to work with Salzano Custom Concrete. We will work with CJ again. If you aren't willing to wait for a spectacular job and end up disappointed by someone else, you have nobody to blame but yourself. read more

We are very please with the work done by CJ and his team. Probably our favorite part of working with them was CJ's professionalism and flexibility to my ideas. I wanted to use white concrete with a more subtle accent color. This was not something that had been requested before, but CJ, an excellent listener, was willing to try out various sample colors for me to see, share his concerns based off his experience, and help find ways for me to accomplish my ideas. We had met with about 4 contractors previous to him who were either less engaged, had their ideas of what they wanted me to do, or were up to double the price. So from the start I felt really good about working with CJ. He was also extremely communicative leading up to and during the project. Even afterwards we noticed there were some small areas that needed fixing and CJ came out to repair the work (which from my understanding is part of the nature of doing stamped concrete.) The guys doing the project were kind and cleaned up well. And when it comes to the finished product we are very happy and have received a number of compliments! I would, without a doubt, recommend Salzano Concrete to anyone looking to concrete work, especially if you have a vision that you aiming to accomplish! read more

After getting a number of estimates, we contracted with Salzano to replace our old brick patio with a new flagstone patio on a concrete foundation. Their price was competitive, and their work was outstanding. After removing the old brick and leveling the ground, they poured the concrete foundation, making sure that the slope was away from our house. Then, a few days later, when the concrete had set, they cut and mortared in the flagstones. CJ Salzano was our main point of contact, and he was always very responsive. The 2 crews that did the actual concrete and masonry work were very friendly, and were very respectful of our property. (When they left, you honestly didn't even know that they had been there.) And of course, the work looks great. We would recommend Salzano to anyone. read more

We had a large stamped concrete patio built and the end result is quite good for the price. They didn't take long to finish and seemed to know what they were doing from start to finish.

We got several prices from other companies and Salzano Concrete came in at the right price for us. I would recommend them to everyone. Great work!!! read more

We hired Salzano Concrete to rip up the asphalt and put in a reinforced concrete driveway at our house in 2006, and I was VERY pleased with Mr. Salzano's professional service and reasonable price. He made a deal with us and our next door neighbors. We both wanted to have our driveways done in concrete. By doing them both at the same time, we shared the cost of the demolition crew and haul away of the old driveway materials. They did a beautiful job on our driveway. I still think it was money well spent. It doesn't have to be resealed every year or two like the asphalt. It's not as hot in the summer and won't burn the kids' feet if they go out barefoot. It got rid of a sinking dip in our driveway, and it just looks a lot nicer. We also had them replace our dilapidated slate steps leading up to the front door. They designed and created some very nice curved steps for us. They can also do some really amazing things with colors and patterns in the concrete to make it look like cobble stones or slate stones or bricks or whatever else you could possibly imagine. We just went with the plain concrete so it would match our front porch. If any friend of mine was looking for a contractor to do concrete work on a driveway or patio, I would not hesitate to recommend Salzano Concrete. Why did I give it 4 stars instead of 5? Only because I don't have anything to compare it against, so I don't know if there's better out there. I am very happy with Salzano Concrete, and I think 4 stars is a very strong, positive rating. read more

Salzano Custom Concrete - Beautiful finished product! Hard to get the true colors with the rain. Gorgeous! - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Aldie, Virginia

We are living overseas currently and renting out our home. We had water drainage issues and needed to have a patio poured under our deck...and we also wanted one! CJ worked along with our property manager through the entire process. He was great with emailing me about color-choice and questions as well as providing many photos throughout the process as we couldn't be there to see it in person. His crew took the time to protect surrounding areas, even laying plywood on the lawn to keep the grass happy! We are very pleased with the way that our stamped patio turned out as well as with the customer service provided by CJ and his crew. Thank you! read more

Salzano Concrte built a beautiful 2-level stamped concrete patio under our new deck with a nice stone wall with 2 pilars and lighting, in September 2019. We are extremely pleased with the results and service. Expect to wait several months after getting on the waiting list before work begins because his crews are in such high demand. CJ Salzano is very nice to work with and provides a lot of helpful advice while working on the plans for your project. Once the work begins CJ is very responsive to any concerns you might have and modifying the construction if necessary, just make sure you let him know prior to pouring cause once it hardens changes are a lot more difficult. The pictures I have included speak for themselves with regard to the work quality. I highly recommend their services. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Salzano Concrete! We were having a hard time deciding if we wanted to do our walkway in Flagstone or concrete. Salzano's stamped and stained concrete made our decision easier. They are the only company in the AREA that does such detailed staining (there was actually a women who comes and paints each "stone" she has a great eye for color and really adds the look/feel we were going for). Their estimate was exactly on point, they charged us what they said they would (Most competitive of 3 bids that we got for this job). They completed the job when they said they would (we did flexible schedule so it would get done sooner and it worked out GREAT, they have a long waiting list, but it is WORTH the wait!!!!. All of their crew were extremely professional. Words of caution: the concrete when finished as stone can be slippery on steep inclines in the rain and snow. Salzano helped us by finding a sealant with grit that make a big differencet, but had I known this I would have slightly changed the layout so that our walkway did not continue onto the steep slope. read more

CJ is an honest broker. My husband and I just had work done by another company and asked him to come check it out since we thought something was wrong. He had done beautiful work for our neighbor, and came highly recommended. He came to our home quickly, and at no charge, and provided us with the information we needed for our situation. The honesty and integrity he showed us is what we're looking for in any company, and we'll be reaching out to him for the other work we'll be having done at our house, which will cost far less than the other company we just used. We should have reached out to him in the first place! read more

I was looking to remove an old paver patio and replace a poorly constructed concrete step on an outdoor patio and found Salzano Custom Concrete via Google. CJ Salzano himself came to the house to review the project and I was extremely impressed with CJ, his professionalism, how he took the time to walk me through all options without pressuring, and was very responsive answering all of my questions. The quote was reasonable (we obtained four quotes) and included demo/dump fees for all of the removed pavers and concrete, which some other companies tried to have me do on my own instead of using their own teams. His team was able to start the project within a week or so of signing the contract and they worked carefully and quickly. My wife and I are very happy with our new stamped concrete patio (and step) and highly recommend Salzano Custom Concrete to anyone looking for a serious, well-respected company that does great work and has the reviews to back it up. read more

This is a follow up to my first review of the work that CJ Salzano had done to our pool patio & stairs back in Sept. 2009. On 2/20/2010 my husband & I had let our dogs out & we were able to see our patio for the first time in almost two weeks after having almost 3 feet of snow on it. We were however shocked to see what was underneath the snow... The overlay which is SUPPOSE to be the thickness of "two credit cards" had formed air pockets/bubbles underneath, mostly along the crack lines (which shouldnt be there in the first place because its a brand new concrete poured slab). Not only were there air pockets, but the more larger ones had cracked open like egg shells & peeled off the concrete all together. I was also surprised to see that the overlay was no where near two credit card thickness', it was more along the lines of being the thickness of a sheet of paper & in some areas, transparent. I immediately took pictures of it, to show the cracked portions as well as at an angle so you could see the bubbled areas that hadnt cracked open yet. I then sent the pictures along with an email to CJ explaining what we had just found. He then sent his brother out to view the damaged area's & we were told that they would get back with us & let us know "when" it would be fixed. We were promised the entire spring & summer that the peeled off overlay would be repaired, however they could not match the current color of the overlay on the patio & therefore since the colors wouldnt match, it would appear as though there were patches all over the patio in the areas that were fixed. These are large areas, so not something that could be hidden. I refused they're offer to fix anything UNLESS they could match the color of the overlay they put down at the beginning of the project. I was very clear that if they were going to fix anything, that the colors must match what was put down in the beginning & that I did not want patches of different colors all over the place. The crack in the patio at this point has now extended the entire length of the slab & has also split into a "Y". The cracks in the stairs are now up to the third stair & there are several cracks elsewhere on the stairs. when the patio & stairs get wet, it looks like a road map from all the smaller cracks. The overlay, which is suppose to be a yellowish/cream color on the stairs & slab has now started to fade to a white color in areas. CJ's brother Frank, claims its due to moisture coming up from the ground & the grass around the patio. The entire patio has multiple stains all over it from the natural elements such as tree leaves, flowers, mulch, ect.... anything that gets on this overlay & remains there for more than a day, discolors the patio, so within 8 months of having this work done, my patio looks as though its 10 yrs old, not 8 months old. During the summer of 2010 while waiting for the patio to be repaired of the peeling overlay, some cheap, off the counter pesticide had spilled onto the patio, by the time I got to it & washed it off, it had already eaten through the overlay down to the concrete. This was a $6.00 bottle of generic pesticide that had something like 3% active ingredient in it. We were told that this overlay product was super strong & durable & would look new for many yrs to come. I have since taken new pictures of what our 1 yr old patio looks like today & as you can see, it looks as though its been sitting for yrs without any care given to it. Please view the new pictures added. In Sept 2010 I received an email from Frank, Cj's brother (CJ no longer wanted to deal with the problems & handed the project off to his brother to handle) that any offers to fix the peeling overlay & to fix the area of a separate slab that they cracked with they're jack hammer, would no longer be offered, as they felt that since the peeling overlay was along the cracks in the slab, that this fell under they're so called "hairline" crack policy & would not be covered under the warranty. I dont know how you can call these cracks "hairline" when I can fit a nickel into them. So therefore they would not be offering any type of repair to any damaged part of the patio. I have contacted & retained a Construction Attorney & with over 300 pictures, a year & half worth of emails with many promises to repair & admissions of errors & a couple audio recordings of promises to repair areas of the patio, as well as Frank stating that "I picked the worst color possible to hide any flaws & cracks in the patio" ( I wasnt aware that I needed to pick a color that would hide cracks & flaws, I guess they knew something I didnt such as there would be damage). When I informed Frank that I had retained an Attorney I received another email approx. 5 days later offering to pay us $500.00 to settle & release them from liability. We refused & plan on suing. read more

My wife and I researched several companies when we decided to have a patio built on the back of the house. We compared traditional flagstone patios and stamped concrete. We decided on stamped concrete based on photos on Salzano Custom Concrete's website. The work was beautiful and in most cases looked nearly indistinguishable from a traditional patio. CJ helped us choose the colors, light fixtures, stone for the sitting walls, and never tried to upsell by suggesting more expensive options. When the day came for work to begin, CJ and his crew were thorough and quick and took care not to damage the yard around where the patio was being built. We made one last minute change (the day the concrete was to be poured) by adding an additional step and CJ's workers were able to quickly add the step without impacting the day's pouring schedule. The completed patio looks fantastic and we are very happy with the result. It looks exactly the way my wife and I had hoped and we are very happy we chose Salzano Custom Concrete. read more

We could not be happier with the overall experience CJ and his company provided start to finish. He walked us through the whole process, provided some informational materials prior to starting and always provided options with OUR best interest in mind. He suggested innovative options for out patio, which ended up even better than we envisioned. He put in extra amount of work (at no additional cost to us) to ensure the finished product looks best way possible! Would definitely recommend to everyone who is contemplating stamped concrete patio. You will not find any other contractor with more integrity, honest, dedication and hard work to keep his customers happy! read more

CJ Salzano and his crew did an excellent job creating a beautiful patio for us. CJ spent an enormous amount of time going over the design. He had a lot of good ideas that helped to make designing it easy. He was very patient and helpful in helping us make a patio that is beautiful and functional. His crew was excellent. They showed up to work on time. They cleaned up well each time. The work was done when promised. CJ was there every step of the way to make sure the work went well. He also explained every thing to us so there were no surprises. He was also very gracious in answering our many phone calls and e-mail. I would definitely use his company for any future work and would not hesitate to refer him to anyone. His prices are fair and his work is excellent. We now have a beautiful patio that we use every day thanks to CJ and his crew. read more

We started off by requesting estimates from 10 companies, as you can imagine the range of the estimates was a few thousand dollars difference. After narrowing it down to 3 companies, we asked numerous questions and sought ideas from the companies on shape, style and what to do with our existing wooden staircase from the porch. Hands-down Salzano Custom Concrete provided the best feedback and customer service. CJ (owner) was extremely responsive to our emails (several) and always friendly. CJ explained everything to us in detail and came back a couple of times (at our request) to review options for the project. He had great ideas for the shape and really put some thought into what we could do with the existing stairs. The majority of the other companies just suggested to replace the stairs which was roughly a $2,200.00 expense. Due to his good reviews online, the great interaction we had thus far, and the examples of the quality product he provides, we decided to go with Salzano Custom Concrete. There was a waiting list in order to get our project in the queue - our project was projected to be started about 6-8 weeks out. Well worth the wait! It actually gave us some additional time to change the design once again and decide on upgrading the concrete's coloring. When the project was about two weeks out from starting, CJ stopped by once again to spray paint the patio's layout and discuss any final changes. Two weeks later CJ emailed that his crew would be out the next day to start pouring the concrete. The crew arrived on-time and were very friendly. They worked all day with little time for breaks. A couple of days later the crew came back out again to seal the concrete. CJ was also present to oversee the procedure - he actually took off his boots and was working right alongside the other workers putting on the colors to the concrete. Very impressive. The patio came out great! Better than what we expected. CJ was in constant contact with us and very responsive to our questions. Customer service could not have been any better. He even followed-up after completion of the project to see how we liked it. We could not say enough good things about CJ and Salzano Custom Concrete - everything was more than what we expected. We would definitely recommend this company. If we ever need concrete work in the future we are using Salzano Custom Concrete. read more

Salzano Custom Concrete excels in every aspect of their trade. They installed a beautiful front walkway and stoop at our home as well as a concrete patio and a slate paver patio. All of the concrete was stamped and stained and everything they did exceeds our expectations. The work crew was friendly and very professional throughout the 8 days of work. This was an extensive job that required a lot of planning and pre-coordination with CJ. He met with us three times before the job began and was on-site an additional three times to ensure the work was progressing satisfactorily. Communication with the company was excellent throughout the project. The company is in high demand and we waited several months for the project to commence, but once things were underway there were no delays. I can't recommend this company highly enough! read more

We hired Salzano's to complete a backyard patio under our deck. CJ came and met with us a number of times and answered all of our questions. He was able to give us numerous ideas and suggestions and gave his recommendations for everything along the way. We decided on a patio the perimeter of the deck, along with a sitting wall, a planter behind the patio, river rocks and lighting. CJ kept us informed along the way when the project would start, and what was getting completed on a regular basis. He was very communicative and his staff were very professional. We are extremely happy with this project and I highly recommend. read more

They were very easy to work with. We knew exactly what we wanted and they delivered. We had a Ashlar Slate pattern sidewalk and small patio area installed around our house. It looks awesome! We liked it so much that we decided to have them come back out and jack hammer our existing sidewalk on the front of our house and replace with a matching new walk. They come in high demand so get your name on the list! It took a few months to start but the wait was worth it. Very quality product. read more

Salzano Custom Concrete did a great job replacing our driveway! Even the neighbors have commented on how great it looks. Everyone was easy to work with throughout the process, they were very prompt in their responses and service, and did a tremendous job "cleaning up."

We'd definitely recommend and use again. read more

After meeting with a few other stamped concrete companies, once we had an initial meeting with CJ, we knew hands down this was the company we would work with to install our patio.

Highly recommend Salzano Custom Concrete - the waitlist can be long at times but the wait is worth it for the end result and the great customer service. read more

I had an unusual patio project to resolve and met with four different contractors to discuss possible solutions. C.J. from Salzano Construction was the fourth and most informative and professional. He listened to my objective and concerns and addressed each clearly. Considering all my options and costs, I decided on the stamped concrete over a wooden deck or natural stone. C.J. told me to visit a nearby job they had completed years ago which had the same pattern and colors we were considering. Seeing and inspecting their finished product made it easy to pull the trigger and I gave them a deposit. I was given a detailed contract explaining the procedure, costs and schedule. The crew showed up on time and went to work as I watched with great interest at the process and their efficiency. In two days my patio was completed and transformed into something far greater than what my wife and I had envisioned. Thanks C.J. and your crew for a fabulous job! You solved my patio problem, exceeded expectations AND saved me money! read more
