Carvajal Concrete

I drew on a piece of paper my idea of stamped concrete in our backyard and Daniel and Valerie took complete care of it. Almost two years later, our concrete looks like new. The best investment we could have done for half the price other contractors were asking.

We initially liked Dan and his estimate was reasonable. I’m sure they do good work. It’s just getting thru the business aspect of it all. It all fell apart because of Valerie. who was rude, defensive, and who obviously runs the business.
1. There was a lot of confusion and disorganization on their end about the date work was to begin. Monday?
No, Friday.
2. What color cement do you want?
I don’t know; the color samples weren’t left with me.
2. There is an unreasonable 3% charge for using a credit card.
It isn’t the fee so much as it wasn’t explained at the time of the estimate.
3. Another Unilocal reviewer complained that there was a 50% payment due before work begins. I think that would have been fair and that was what was requested at the time of the estimate. Valerie explained on the phone that 100% was due before work would begin.
Unheard of and unreasonable. Who does this? Oh yeah people who don’t need the work!

Got stood up on an appointment for a bid. Apparently this company is not organized. Was supposed to start work on another project from an acquaintance on a certain day and the excuse was «I forgot». Not trustworthy and not organized… moving on…

Thanks Unilocalers for those reviews but I contacted these people based on the reviews here and they did respond but never followed up with me after I called, and text them twice. waste of my time. This review has been written three days after I contacted them and they never returned the call or text. Either way, NO Thanks

Daniel and Valerie were fantastic! They took out our front lawn and put in a new walkway to our front door. Very professional and nice. Workmanship was outstanding. They made sure we were happy with every step of the project. We cannot say enough good things about them! Highly recommend them for any concrete work. Daniel is a perfectionist and an artist with concrete.

There is a very good reason they are #1 on Unilocal for Sac concrete… they are friggin amazing. We had a medium sized job in Land Park that required a pool seating area, 14′ bench, and tricky drainage. Planned on getting several estimates, but only needed 1 after talking with Carjaval. They let you know every step of the way what’s going on, they arrive earlier than they say, the price is way fair, and they go the extra mile every step of the way. Here’s a tip… get Daniel and Valarie’s autograph when they are done… they are rock stars. Another tip… Their crew like Oscars on Freeport — hook ‘em up!
Next job=Carjavalconcrete. Enough said!

Daniel and Valerie really know how to run a business. From our first meeting Valerie took notes on what my expectations were for my new patio. I went from a falling apart Redwood deck, cracked cement leading to the falling apart Redwood deck, cracked walkway behind the house, and a cement pond that didn’t work to a beautiful two colored concrete patio, mower strip, and 3 ft walkway. All in 3 days! Beautiful work. I have s few other projects that I will have them complete. Everyone that has seen the finished deck is impressed. Thank you for doing amazing work!

Called twice, left two messages, and no response.

Daniel and Valerie were very professional… last year they poured concrete for me… I’m very happy with the work… will always use them for my future concrete needs. 4 things I remember about them— friendly, quality, professional, and on time.

Danial and Valerie are magnificent. They did a large job for me. They tore out the old drive way, front porch and back porch then poured a all new including a much larger section and a foundation for a small building. I got color and a stamp pattern. They listened to my concerns and offered solutions and ideas.
They were reasonably priced and did excellent work and were fast. I couldn’t be happier with their work or the results. I constantly have neighbors stopping by asking who I had to the concrete work and I’m always proud to tell them.

sorry guys but i have to give this company bad review. he wants 50% down payment before he start the job. to me that’s a «RED FLAG» right then. never pay someone before he complete a job.

I’ve waited quite a while to give this review. The reason is that they were supposed to come back to take care of an easily fixed issue but after many contacts they’ve been a no show. That being said, I will have them back for more quotes on additional work! They were great to work with, prices affordable and workmanship top notch. We tested them with our design and they came through! We had exposed aggregate that clouded up because the job was large. Just need acid washing afterwards so we could seal it. No acid wash follow up so that we will do I guess. It’s inexpensive to do so we will go for it soon. But don’t hesitate to get a quote from them! Not sure how to add pics!

Carvajal just did a small job (40sf) to fill in part of a landscaped area where I removed a fountain. While job was small, it was the visual center of my backyard. The job looks fantastic and turned out great. They added a design curve without being asked that made it look far better that my idea. I checked prices and they were competitive. Showed up on time and jumped right in.
I recommend Daniel and Valerie Carvajal. Family owned, very professional, and they care.

We contracted them to build a concrete pad in our backyard and expand our drive-​way. They did an amazing job! It is a family business and everyone was wonderful to deal with. I would highly recommend them for any concrete work.

Contacted this company and spoke to Valerie for an estimate to have some concrete for my huge backyard. She and her husband came out the very same day I spoke to her to view my backyard. I knew what I sorta wanted which was a patio and to cover the back driveway. I had a tight budget to work with and Valerie and her husband were very helpful in suggesting what would work and what would look nice in regards to the design of the concrete layout. They were very competitive in their pricing and since they were so helpful in working with our budget, I decided to go with them. Valerie and her husband are very hands on through out the construction stages and they make sure that I’m ok with the design before any concrete is poured. They completed the job in a very timely manner, much faster than I expected. Valerie and her husband company far exceeded my expectations in customer service which they went far and beyond for me. I am very pleased with the outcome as we get a lot of compliments from friends and family. I will be using them again for future projects indeed. Big thank you guys!!!

Awesome job! Came out and gave an estimate for my plans for a raised flowerbed/garden…I expressed what I wanted and Daniel delivered BEYOND my wildest dreams! THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Valarie and Daniel were absolutely terrific to work with. I can’t say enough good things about Carvajal’s work. On time, knowledgeable, hard working, always happy to make better suggestions than I have, and the price was really great. They were prompt, courteous, professional and did a great job. They replaced a broken retaining wall and a couple of walkways that were a mess. They removed the old debris, formed up new walls paths and a pad for a shed and poured them, all within 3 days.

I got one if those notices from the city saying I needed to fix the sidewalk in front of my house, because tree roots grew under it and pushed it up. So I did some Unilocaling and called a few contractors.
I went with carvajal because they were cheaper than what the city would have charged and because they’re so nice! When they came to do the estimate Daniel came in his truck and his wife came in the mini van, with all the kids in it! I guess that’s a little weird, but what ever.
Their communication is amazing! I hate not being in the loop, but they worked really close with me about the inspections and every thing that go’s with it.
They even came on Saturday morning to pour the concrete!
The only thing I didn’t like about the experience, was that when the city arborist came and said we needed to cut about a foot of the existing sidewalk to make room for roots, Daniel charged $ 100 extra for the cutting.
Other than that though, they did a fantastic job. I will most likely use them in the future!

Danny and wife Valarie as a team are very professional. The concrete work is very precise with a super smooth finish. I had them do a car port and the cement was poured so smooth with the slightest angle so water will drain and not puddle the whole car port will stay dry.
They arrived 7:30 am Wednesday 8÷22÷12 very punctual worked until 4pm left job site cleaned of all construction debris. They even washed the driveway and front porch. Today they arrived at 7am with a kind courteous helper Tristen. Cement truck arrived 7:30 am concrete was poured and Danny worked the concrete till it was perfectly finished. The job site was super clean Tristen used a magnet sweeper and scanned the grass to pick up any stray nails. The job was completely done by noon.
The cost was very reasonable much less than my last cement work.
They came highly recommended and we were able see the beautiful resin coated leaf motif stamped coated custom cement job done on their own home.
I highly recommend Carvajal Concrete hard to beleve the job is done in less than 25 hours after beginning. Be hard to find a better price and with the highest quality work. There was no distrubance to any neighbors either as we live in senior quiet neghborhood. I have already begun planning much more concrete work for Caraval to be here and at relatives places.
Sincerely,

Danny and his crew are a really hard-​working bunch. They did a really good job of breaking out some old concrete for me and installing new exposed aggregate concrete in my backyard. After I researched a couple of other contractors– they were the most affordable in price by 20%. I was pleased with the clean up after the project and the concrete portion of the project turned out excellent. The only reason I don’t give them a 5 star rating is because he never finished installing a drain that he said he would replace. I’m going to have to hire another contractor to come back and finish that part unfortunately.
