"John has helped with the redesign of out outdoor patio and pool area. His design ideas and craftsmanship transformed our outdated outdoor living areas into the modern look were hoping for. His pricing is very competitive. As a veteran he brings a professional work ethic that is sometimes lacking in this business environment. John is our go to contractor for all of our concrete and fencing needs."

"I had high hopes for this company after my initial contact with them through Angie's list.  I sent an email and got a response back right away from Tal and then we talked about the scope of work needed over the phone and made an appointment for the following week.  When it came time for the contractor to meet me at my home, he never showed and so I called Tal and she informed me that since they were unable to reach me by phone at work and confirm the appointment that day, even though I had made the appointment less than a week prior, and they cancelled the appointment.  I had provided my cell phone as well which she did call but never left a message.  This was extremely frustrating as I had cancelled a meeting in order to be at my home for the appointment time.  I decided to give them a second chance and rescheduled the appointment.
The second time the contractor did arrive on time and we went over the scope of work together.  My ex arrived towards the end of the walk through (we are working on fixing up our house together so we can sell it).  At this time the contractor started talking primarily to him.  We asked what he thought the general cost of the work would be, a rough estimate and he said he thought it would be anywhere from $8-12K.  He told us that his technician would be in the area the following day and that he could come by and put together an itemized list of the work done and give us a formal quote.  
Even though I had called and set up the appointment and had the majority of the communication with the company, the contractor called my ex the following week, not me,  and told him that the technician's quote was for $18-22K!  More than double what he initially thought the cost would be.  I asked my ex to request a written quote for the work so we could see where all of the money was going towards.  We never heard from the contractor again.
I followed up a few weeks later through Angies list email with Tal, the woman who I had made the appointment with to find out when we could expect a written quote and she said she would check and we have not heard a peep since.  
Since our dealings with this contractor we have hired another who quoted us $3400 to get all of the work done and who we eventually hired.   I feel like this company just didn't want to do the work for whatever reason and just threw an astronomical price at us hoping that we would just go somewhere else instead of being honest with us and wasting our time. 
Lastly, during the course of our interaction I felt the contractor made comments about our personal situation that were inappropriate and it bothered me that he felt more comfortable talking to my ex who is male, rather than myself who was the one managing the project and money.  

Just wanted to respond to the provider.   I did give an opportunity to provide service after the initial misunderstanding of the missed appointment.  The primary disappointment was that I never received a written quote or a quote to myself over the phone.  I have not received any calls after the visit to my home to my cell or received any voicemails nor did I receive anything via email regarding the quote or any updates.   The only voice message I received on my work phone was after I posted this review.  The issue was not the price as we were willing to pay what it took to get this project done.  There was just zero follow up.

"The concrete by the front door included saw cuts to look like tile. The overall look came out better than I expected and resembled real tile with great color blends. Very satisfied with workmanship. The stamped concrete in the year yard has a nice mottled look that resembles real rock.They were always on time, made suggestions, and willing to make changes after the work began.

FAQs for concrete finishing, overlays & coloring application projects in Lakeside, CA

With proper care, a stained concrete floor easily lasts 20 years or more. Reapply sealer every two to four years to protect against moisture, scratches, and daily wear. Routine sweeping, occasional damp mopping, and prompt repairs keep the surface looking sharp and protect the slab underneath, preserving both function and resale value.

Stained concrete can crack if the slab is exposed to extreme moisture changes, heavy impacts, or settling. Small hairline cracks are mainly cosmetic, but deeper fractures can affect the finish. Inspect the floor regularly, address moisture issues quickly, and hire a pro for timely repairs. Staying on top of maintenance prevents minor flaws from developing into larger, more costly problems.

The longevity of a concrete stain depends on the product you choose. Acid-based options chemically bond with the slab and are essentially permanent. Water-based stains sit on the surface and can be lightened, darkened, or covered with a new color at a later time. Select the stain type that aligns with your long-term design plans and your willingness to reapply the stain in the future.

You can update the color by cleaning the slab, lightly etching it, and applying a new layer of stain. Re-staining bonds to the concrete and resists peeling far better than paint. For a dramatic shift—such as moving from a dark acid stain to a lighter tone—you may need to grind the surface first. A flooring pro can advise on the best approach for your specific floor.

Stained concrete combines longevity with a modern, custom look. The finish resists heavy foot traffic, moisture, and everyday wear, so upkeep is minimal—routine sweeping and an occasional damp mop are usually enough. Because the color is inside the concrete, it won’t peel or flake like paint. Homebuyers also appreciate its sleek aesthetic and low maintenance, which can add a slight boost to your property's resale value.
