Nearby Concrete Floor Staining in San Francisco

6/30/20 at the completion of the job Jose Lucatero advised me of a large area that was stain damaged by their workers. Together we tried to find a cost effective remedy so as not to have to demo the area and replace it. The workers tried (to no avail) to clean the area and even sand it, but it only made the aggregate finish worse. Jose decided the most cost effective repair was an overlay to be completed by Brad McCalister for $3,442.00 ( $1,227.00 more than contract balance due) At this point we agreed I would pay balance on my contract and Jose would pay the rest. Only problem was Brad McCalister would not return my calls after I requested counsel regarding procedure and colors.. on 8/12/20 I received this text from Jose: "Hello, I've been busy and have gotten no response. At this time I cannot help anymore going forward. This project was completed in full and anything else we do we're losing money, We do our best to help but my hands are tied and I cannot do anything else for you. We were never paid in full and you can use the difference to fix in any way you wish. Thanks" Jose has left me with an expensive repair, thousands beyond the balance due. This is a repair that jose has admitted to. Jose chose to abandon and walk away from taking full responsibility for the damages incurred.. I filed a case with the Contractors State Licensing Board.

SJC started and finished on time. The prep work looked very neat and thorough. Upon completion everything looked good at first (except a significant amount of stain overspray ruining grass and plants). Then it rained. The stain came off and water puddled on the patio. Rob responded quickly, studied the problem and proposed corrective actions. Unfortunately we had to wait quite awhile including a couple delays before SJC returned to put additional cuts into the concrete and restain/seal the concrete. Again serious overspray resulted in more dead grass & plants. The seal was also sloppily applied and had to be reapplied several days later.

The company was professional and prompt. We weren't sure what exactly we wanted, but we were guided through the process with patience and clarity. They performed their work excellently and the result was flawless. There isn't much else to say. Great company.

They were great and were referred to me by the people that does the pool and supplies. John has been doing an excellent job for me and is doing an excellent job. I paid over $20,000 for that work. I have not had nay problems with him at all. He is honest, he gives you his professional opinion and the workers show up on time. He keeps his word and their workmanship is top-notch. He is very honest, has a lot of integrity and is not late. If he is going to be late he will call which rarely anybody does. The pricing was excellent.

I worked with Mike Lewis before. The quality of the finished product is good, but you really need to stay on top of them to get everything done 100% to your satisfaction - communication and attention to detail are not their strong points. During the estimate, we discussed replacing the approach ramp to the driveway. My impression was that it would be in the estimate and so I pulled a permit for it - it wasn't included in the contract and it would have been significantly more money to get it done. I decided to move forward with just the driveway. Demolition went fine, their team works very quickly. The new driveway and walkway look nice, but they missed several things. They did not run a pipe under the door step for an irrigation line (which was discussed and clearly marked in the drawing I gave them). They did not replace the cover to the sewer cap (which they removed). Concrete stain was left on the exterior walls of the house as well. Stay home & on top of them if you hire.

Vince designed a new concrete driveway that was then stamped and stained. The tiered walkway was designed to go from the street to the front door. It was accented w/lights. A brick wall was built surrounding the newly sodded lawn and it also provided a place for planting. Flagstone was placed around the plants for a finished look. The work that was done transformed our property and makes us smile every day. Vince and his crew worked very hard to complete the job on time and to satisfy our expectations !!!

I hired Tech Light in Oct of 2007, they poured the concrete in November. The men that poured the concrete were very professional and did a great job. There was a misunderstanding on my part as to when the remainder was to be paid. Terri left me an extremely hostile voicemail saying that he would place a lien on my house if I did not pay him. I explained that I had misunderstood and paid him that day. Thereafter I had to call many times about finishing the job and staining the concrete. In June of 2008, I continued to call and try and schedule the staining of my concrete. I was frequently dismissed, rarely called back, and was scheduled but then cancelled two times. In October of 2008 the work was still not finished and I demanded my deposit back. Eventually I was able to get my deposit back and had to finish the job myself.

The owner-operator, Keith Koehler, came to our home and measured the driveway-additional area for concrete-walkway-poach. He returned an excellent itemized comprehensive and easy to understand estimate by email within 2 days. This crew was himself and one other professional. They powerwashed the driveway, walkway, and poach. They dug our dirt to widen the driveway area, ordered concrete to be delivered and installed the additional concrete. They prepared materials to re-surface the driveway and the new section of concrete and poach. They textured the re-surface freehand (they had stamped patterns but the freehand pattern was nice). They mixed a color spray to match our composite walkway and stained the re-surface materials. Last they applied 3 coats of seal to the re-surfaced materials and walkway. They offered to return each 3 years and re-stain and reseal they their work for $150. Rick was professional, personable and flexible. I was impressed how fast the job took to complete. It gave me confidence that he only wanted $545 as a deposit which was the standard 10%. I recommend them highly to my neighbors and friends.

Found A SOUTH BAY SANDBLASTING in yellow pages, left message and he returned call within 24 hours. Stopped by on way home from another job to give estimate. Recommended slightly higher priced dustless method. Reference gave A+ rating. Arrived on time, did work very well, cleaned up nicely. Very, very competent and professional.

The concrete pad itself was done OK, and I have no complaints about that. However, he and his crew were not very careful to be respectful of our property and left several cement stains around the work area. This could have been avoided if he had put down drop cloths or taken other precautions. I was very disappointed by the amount of cleanup work that I had to do afterward.

The day prior to pouring, 8/28/14, lines were approved and met grade. The day of pouring, the Contractor increased lines 1.5"-2" without Project Manager's approval creating over-pours to grade in the kitchen, hallway, pizza area and 1 exit to the patio, leaving transition hazards. On 10/7/14, I received an estimate from the same Contractor for an additional $3,750.00 to fix the problems they caused. I have filed complaints with the Contractors State License Board and BBB. When I first reviewed their License, I could not find anything wrong. Now, digging deeper on the CSLB website, I have found a "Case Violation Disclosure" filed 12/2013 for "Criminal Conviction Regarding Contracting" and "Conviction of a Substantially Crime". I wish I would have see this before, and I never would have used them. If you're thinking about using them, this violation can be verified at: https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/onlineservices/checklicenseII/CaseViolationDisclosure.aspx?LicType=LIC&LicNum=916924&LmfPre=&Region=N&FiscalYear=2009&SeqNbr=460&ActionCde=DPRV&Status=PREVIOUS+CASE&LicName=GLOBAL+VILLAGE+CONSTRUCTION+INC&StatusDt=12/06/2013&Complaints=PREVIOUS%20CASE You've been warned.

They did paver stone installation and sealing of my home driveway and walkway. The process of installation and completion was quite good. However, about a year after the job was completed stains started to appear in many areas which, after researching the paverstone manufacturer installation instructions, are likely to be cutting residue fluid dripping from stones that were cut on-site. The instructions specifically warn against not letting the residue fluid drip on the pavers since it is practically impossible to remove. These stains were presumably masked by the sealant applied, but were exposed as the sealant wore off. I I have contacted Alberto's concrete several times but there has been no action. More recently I am also noticing some pavers that have sunk in. My experience with this company is that once the job is done you are on your own. They are not professional about warraranty support and do not not take responsibility for workmanship issues. Sone

We knew them from a prior job and knew we wanted to use them again. We involved them during planning; we wanted to use concrete and they helped us and gave us advice, including and staining samples. They gave us a not-to-exceed estimate for the work. We bought most of the (major) materials, they took care of all the construction materials. The project was scheduled to take eight weeks but lastet about two weeks more. These guys are very professional and their work is of hight quality. They have a very nice personality and are very trustworthy. They have a very nice taste and we were very happy with the outcome (you can see pictures on their website).

Overall Jason of IMS was very open about our alternatives and was very efficient and paid close attention to detail. We were very pleased with the experience.

Rick, the owner, was very helpful and easy to work with. He met us at home to explain the process and even made a sample for us so we would have an idea what the finish would look like. He was on time and kept our yard neat. This was a great alternative for us and much cheaper than removing and replacing old concrete. It looks fabulous and we can't wait to have our front concrete areas done later.

It was a very good experience. Paulo is just a nice guy to deal with --not a hard sell, trustworthy, down to earth and knows his business. I researched his company but regardless I received a portfolio of referrals, insurance etc. --very professional. Members of his crew were polite and respectful and tried to leave the area as they found it. They finished the patio in four days which I found amazing since I always read that pavers took so much more time than concrete. I initially was going to replace my concrete patio with stained stamped concrete but found Paulo's pricing for pavers reasonable in comparison and so went for my preference which was pavers. I would encourage people in need of this service to give Empire Paving Systems a call and speak with Paulo. I myself will use them in the future for my driveway.

Overall, excellent. Ted Van Midde and his team were extremely diligent and considerate during the month long construction project. A new sewer pipe needed to be rerouted. Instead of charging additional fees for every unforeseen problem, Ted included the "minor" issues into the overall estimate and provided us with a very fair price and outstanding service. Also, we needed Ted was very helpful when we needed his assistance several years later. Overall, when we select a vendor for construction, we seek fairness, quality workmanship, honor, reliability, and support. Ted Van Midde fulfilled all of these criteria. In retrospect, I would have consulted a landscape architect to address for additional insight regarding possible design options. The staircase and pathways which incorporate a stain are frequently praised by other trades professionals for the beauty and artistry of the hardscape.

It was amazing. Sorin Feraru always gave us a schedule when the various jobs would be done. The crew always showed up on time and did the work in a very professional manner with great attention of detail and careful cleanup. A lot of the work was redoing work by previous contractors who had done a poor job. Examples of this are rebuilding the deck that had extensive water damage to its fire walls and the rebuilding of the downstairs bathroom shower pan that had settled just a few weeks after a previous contractor installed it. All of the work turned out better than we expected. The house is structurally tight for the first time in its 50 year history. The 3 redwood decks need to be power washed every 3 years. I let them go for 7 years and didn't think they could be restored. Amazingly, Sorin's crew carefully power washed, bleached and stained them to very near new condition. The results of this whole project were just what we were hoping for when we joined Angie's List.

Bruce is very easy to work with. He has an easy going personality which was a refreshing change from the other contractors we interviewed. Bruce also has a great vision for landscape design. We already had a landscape design, but Bruce massaged it a bit and we were very pleased with his recommendations. Had we met Bruce before we had the plans drawn up, we would have saved the money with the landscape architect. The main feature we wanted in our backyard was a pondless waterfall. The waterfall went beyond our expectations. The stream looks like a mountain stream and the soothing sound it creates makes for a backyard retreat. The two stain-stamped concrete patio looks amazing. The colors of the concrete compliment the river rock steps which were already in place. We also had a bench wall for seating and a raised planting area built with the sides lined with the river rock to match the existing steps. The fine workmanship on these features definitely adds to the beauty of the backyard. The patio cover was certainly a work in progress. As Bruce was building it according to the landscape architect design, we were not pleased with it. Bruce came up with some simple and cost effective resolutions that made it SO much better.

He came out and he looked at my project, he didn't make it more complicated than it had needed to be, he gave me about exactly what I wanted and they did work and made sure it was all clean and put back together. They had to come back out a couple of times because the washer and they came every time I called them got any problems taken care of. There weren't really any problem but it was only suspect it was bound to happen and he worked really well to meet my needs and to stay out of my way and answer my questions.
