Island Concrete LLC

The project went great and was even better than we had anticipated. Sam came out to our house the same afternoon we called for an estimate, was on time and the price for the project was in line with other estimates we had received. We agreed on the price and he started (and finished the project!!) the following Monday. Sam was with his crew when they started to ensure that our requests were followed, the crew knew exactly what they were doing and completed the job that afternoon. The job site was clean and all debris removed before they left that afternoon. Very professional! We would definitely use Island Concrete again for future projects and would recommend them to anyone looking for a competent, friendly, professional crew that you will be very happy with. Our walkway and patio are EXACTLY what we wanted and we are more than pleased. Put this company at the top of your list! You won't be sorry!

The Island team was fast and professional. Work was completed on time and as promised.

Island concrete’s crew did an amazing job on our patio. We were so impressed with their promptness and work ethic. They got it done so fast and were very kind to my overly interested little kids who asked a bunch of questions. We are thrilled with the result.

Overall, the patio looks good. Except for the square they made to cover up where our septic system access is. They had stamped a design in the patio, and when they installed the septic square, it was turned so the design didn't match. Also the square does not sit tight, it wobbles when you step on one corner. When I asked him to fix this, he said he would and then his guys showed up and said they couldn't do anything so my wife said "ok" and they left. I texted with him again and he said my wife said it was ok which she only said because they wouldn't do anything. He said he would show up again, but then didn't. Then a third time he promised he would show up and never did. I have still not heard back and have given up on ever hearing from them again. I must say that both my wife and I felt bullied by this contractor.

Excellent workmanship and attention to details. They worked long hours, and did it all by hand. They even ran a downspout drain under the new concrete, and set two posts for a cyclone fence extension. all at no additional cost. If I ever have need of concrete work in the future, I'll be calling them.

It didn’t go great. Nili and his staff are very relaxed on getting back to you. We spent a LARGE amount of money, in cash. We got a horrible attitude, and mediocre work. Let’s start with the back patio, this work started back in February. This was supposed to be a graded back patio away from the house so that water doesn’t build up against the bay window. This didn’t happen. He had to come out multiple times and it’s never been fixed. Multiple times he hasn’t answered his phone. Multiple times he has not fixed the problem HE created. Next is the retaining wall, he didn’t put gravel between the retaining blocks and the soil so now we have weeds (awesome job, could have done that ourself). After that, the steps with the nonexistent handrail that was supposed to be there. Yeah, that never got done. In the end, don’t hire him. He’s not trustworthy, he’s NOT worth the hassle, not worth the drama, and definitely not worth the money. Move on to the next company.

Very well. Almost instant response and began work within 24 hours. Friendly.

Concrete was done and a good job but they never followed up like they said they would and it still hasn’t been sealed.

just fine. very happy with the outcome.

Venly and his crew were great! He showed up the same day we called for a quote. His crew worked quickly and efficiently. They removed our deck and put the patio in in 3 days. Their work is really beautiful and it was neat to watch everything happen. We are so happy with the final product.

Very well they were there all day took one full day to do

Nili was very responsive in his request for a quote. He came the same day that I called and was able to fit me in with his awesome team later in the same week for prep, removal, pouring, and stamping... He then was great in helping my wife and I pick a color and had it done by lunch on Monday... From first call to final clean up after completion was only 6 days. I got multiple quotes and his was tied with the best price. His work is awesome and we are super happy with the result. I highly recommend this company and will use again if ever needed.

Very well worked fast and efficiently

The job went well from beginning to end. They showed up the same day I called, gave me a great price and started the next day. They were very easy to work with and did a great job! I would definitely use them again.

Conclusion: Has the right tools, Fast, Negotiable Got quotes and talked with 3 different contractors. First was cheap and sketchy, Second had good reviews and had good pricing, Third was Island Concrete. (Will be honest he was the most expensive but also was able to negotiate to almost match others price and I don't think the others would have done as good of a job.) Island Concrete was the only contractor that mentioned the potential issues that the other contractors didn't bring up. Venly also had very useful suggestions as he saw that my idea wasn't going to look to good. He was right. Final result looks good and was done right. I have a security camera that I watched to see if they skipped any steps. Just want to bring up some more important things about Island Concrete. 1) I hired them same day they came out to do the quote. He was able to bring his professional tools on site that night and ripped the entire driveway out and dug up the 2 extensions. The concrete was pored and finished the next day. 2) When the Concrete truck was coming in it knocked out one of the overhead power lines to my house. I was away from home during this time. When I got home he got it it was already fixed but I noticed it was replaced. Neighbors told me what happened and that Venly had PSE come out and fix it properly and waited to make sure nothing went wrong. Neighbors also mentioned that he did a very good job and worked very hard all day. I obviously didn't have to pay for the power line issue but I just wanted to bring up how everything was taken care of before I gotten home professionally and Venly never asked for money to fix it. 3) They cleaned up nicely didn't leave any mess. After the job was done I noticed some touch-up stuff. They came the next day and solved my issues. 4) Venly was able to negotiate and wanted to make sure I was happy with the work. <-- Most important.

Venli and his crew did a great job. Project required about 2.5 yards of concrete and the crew arrived around 11:30 AM and completed the job about 8:00 PM. The work was essentially done around 5:30 and they returned a couple hours later to do the aggregate finish.

Great work, always checked in with us for a few changes to schedule. The stamped concrete looks fantastic. We will hire this team for many upcoming projects. Price was substantially better than two other quotes so now that they have done a great job, we wouldn't use anyone else else.

The job went very well. The team very friendly and responsive. The quality is very good, lots of compliments from the neighbors.

This is truly a family business. Venly and his family did an amazing job. I was told the project would take 2 to 4 days. They started a day early and finished the next morning. The concrete they poured matched my existing concrete, so it looks like everything was done in one pour. Venly and crew kept me informed on what they were doing and made sure I was happy with the design along the way. As the work was happening, we had two different neighbors come up and ask for concrete work at their homes. My wife and I are extremely happy with the hard work they put in and the finished product. We will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs concrete work done.

Island concrete did an excellent job on replacing my driveway.

They completed the work when I needed it done, working late. It looks very nice, they cleaned up well.

Island Concrete LLC has not come to my home to assess the work to be done, let perform the work. On October 11 Island Concrete sent me an email directing me to seek a refund from Angie's List. Angie's List refuses to refund my money because I made the request more than 30 days after I paid for the work. I have spoken by telephone with Nill at Island Concrete several times. Nil has agreed to come to my house to assess the work no less than five times. He kept none of those appointments. I have no reason to believe Island Concrete intends to fulfill its obligations. I reached out to Angie’s List for help. Donna Cook-Smith at Angie’s List Offer Assistance and I corresponded several times and spoke once by phone. Here is her latest message, sent November 10. “Thank you for your reply. Per our last conversation, there are no exceptions for any changes through Angie's List and there is nothing new to discuss further. I would handle the purchase with his organization as you would any other purchase and seek assistance to take actions. I apologize that he didn't take care of your project needs. Contacting your service provider on your behalf is the extent of what we can offer to you from Angie's List. I understand that you don't agree with our polices. I do hope you have a great day.” I don’t know what Donna means by “seek assistance to take actions.” I doubt she does either. She has made it clear Angie's List has washed its hands of this matter. So, to sum up, Angie’s List has been paid in full. Island Concrete won’t provide the service I purchased and Angie’s List won’t refund my money or provide any meaningful help. I’d recommend you not do business with either.

Nealy came right out, same day. Quoted $1,800 for repair. Really pushed hard to repair a crack I did not think needed doing for and additional $400. He said he could make it all match. I approved all work They repaired all areas. The problems; The crack did not look any better after repair, possibly worse. (See Picture) The large repair area was not washed equally creating the aggregate effect. Some areas not washed enough not showing much aggregate, other areas badly pitted (washed too much) See attached picture. This was completed around sunset so it was hard for me to see how it came out. By his contract I paid $200 down, $1800 at start of job and $200 after his return the next day when he was to come back and use something that would darken and age the repair to get it to match. At the end of the job he pushed hard for the remaining $200 (against what his proposal stated) I declined. He aid he would be back in two days. The next morning I saw how bad it had turned out and saw the washed off concrete all over the rest of driveway, lawn and down the street. I clean all up, waited for his return. He came back about 5 days after he said he would. I pointed out the problems, he agreed and said he would fix it no problem. That was the last I saw of him. I would call and bug him but it is my belief that if a mans word is not good, then any additional work I got would not be worth paying the outstanding $200. Apparently Nealy made a business decision that he did not want to do what was required to make my driveway right for the last $200 agreed on the proposal. I try hard to not feel used or ripped off when that is now more often the case than not. This job felt like a rip off to me.

Job was quoted on the day that I called and completed within a week! The price was fair for the work that was done. I am happy with the quality of work and would hire Island Concrete LLC again if I were to need more concrete work.

After a delayed start and a long wait for the concrete truck to arrive, thus not finishing until around 8:30 at night they were good and coordinated workers. Each had a job and did it well. They did get my driveway done in one day as promised. My driveway is a thing of beauty and I would definitely use them again
