Paul’s Cement Work

I had a wonderful experience with Paul and Paul’s Cement Work. We needed new cement blocks and a curb build up after a pipe repair in our new home. Paul answered my phone call on a Sunday evening, arranged to give me an estimate very early the next morning, and completed the work before I even got home from work that day. Paul asked great questions to clarify exactly what I wanted over the phone since I was at work when he stopped by and performed he work exactly how we requested. He gave me a very fair price and did not suggest more work than was necessary. I did not see the team that was there to perform the repair, but neighbors said they seemed like great people! Thanks for an awesome job Paul! I will definitely be recommending you to my family and friends!

Can I give a zero star rating? We used Paul and Sons a year or two ago to have the back yard cemented. They came in and tore up the terrible job another contractor did and put down a NICELY cemented foundation all in one day. Fast forward to this summer. After a bad winter, We now need the front stairs and landing redone. Paul and Sons was the first place we thought to call. However, after a month and a half of giving me the run around, I am over them. It took two weeks for them to actually show up for an estimate. Once they came, they left a card showing they came but failed to give a written estimate as promised. I called and of course they said they would call me back in a couple hours. After not hearing from them in three hours, they said they were too busy to take my call and would call the next day. After no call, I called again and they said they would call in an hour once they were in the office. Again, no call. At this time, I asked my wife to call thinking maybe they would respond to a woman. Well, once again we get the brush off. Whoever answered the call said they don’t know anything about the business and Paul was BUSY on yet another call. I don’t know what the problem is, but I will no longer recommend these guys to my friends and won’t be calling on them anymore. Bad business.

Well let me just say Paul and his guys are a very professional group… I hired Paul to install two poles in front of one of my properties in Philadelphia and I must say I still to this day receive great praise for the way those guys came out and how professional they were… the poles came out great… any future cement jobs I have is going to Paul… thanks Paul

There are few family busnesses functioning these days, so when you’re fortunate enough to come across one dealing in the ancient art of masonry and find that the result is a job well done, you can only consider yourself blessed. Paul’s Cement Work is a family run operaton that dates back more than fifty years, and though the operative word is «cement,» the work I had done involved the laying of a brick patio. Paul himself was helpful in designing and reconfiguring the area, and along with a six member crew executed the task with consumate skill and efficiency. The entire crew was consistently polite and gracious, not to mention patient when they had to vacate the premises during those times when my dogs had to occupy the garden. As a customer, one of my major requirerments is being able to communicate with those doing work for me. Paul and his crew excelled at this. I never once felt that any change or request was an intruson on the planned design. Needless to say, I look forward to working wth them in the not too distant future.

We had a terrible 800 square foot dirt floor basement with stone walls covered in crumbling lime. This is typical of Philadelphia rowhomes but our energy contractor said it was bad news, both in terms of controlling humidity and us breathing in mold.
I had Paul’s crew pour my basement floor and re-​parge the walls. Despite the low profile, Paul Cement Work is not a small operation — there were at least 6 guys on the site at one point. They were very respectful of our home and kept the chaos to a minimum. They somehow managed to parge some areas of our walls I found difficult to reach even with a paint brush. The air down there is noticeably better.
I was very impressed with the work they did and would hire them again.

What can I say about cement work — had a couple of projects with these guys. One in my south Philly back-​yard where and one on the staircase coming to the house.
The first one was done a couple of years ago and still looks great. I shopped around the first time and they were one of the lowest priced for the project.
The second project was done today and I am still waiting for it to harden but so far so good:)
On both jobs he came with a big crew and was in and out very quickly, both jobs required moving though the house and they came in with tarps so our floor will not be messed by the cement.
Paul is a little rough around the edges (well very rough around the edges) but gets the job done with good prices and prompt work.
