Elite Concrete

We called around and had a few quotes from concrete companies to do an extensive project which included front stoop, front patio, walkway, stairs and back two-tiered patio, along with retaining walls for gardens and a shed pad. This was a very large job and involved various elevations and grades to the property. I am so happy I went with my gut and chose Raffy and Elite Designed Concrete.

Other companies gave a similar price, but it was readily apparent they did not have the professionalism and crew of experts that Elite does. Where these other companies said they would come and "spray paint lines" to show where they would put the concrete, Elite had a landscape architect, Marina, measure and properly plot out architectural drawings for the design and plan. They have a project manager, Marcelo, who oversees the details. I am a very picky person as I have design and art background - when I saw the drawing, I was floored. It was gorgeous and I shockingly did not want to change one single aspect. Everything I mentioned verbally was included; the coach light, the gas line, the removal of a large pine stump, etc. Not one detail was missed or done in error.

ETAs were adhered to and I was updated along the way. When the crew showed up to start work, they were also all very polite, accomodating and respectful of my family and the property. With any large project, there are inevitably hiccups along the way. There were a couple minor things that happened and they were immediately remedied and Raffy and Marcello were always very responsive via text or phone.

Because the project was contracted in the fall, the weather was quite damp and then winter came. Because of the dampness, some of the sealer didn't take. Once Spring arrived, I didn't even have to call Elite to come look or ask them to fix it. One day, a work van showed up and they were here taking inventory of any warranty issues. They had it power washed and re-sealed within the week, ready for the Spring planting season so we could simply get started on our gardening!

I could not be more pleased with the service, design and workmanship from Elite (Raffy, Marcelo, Marina and entire crew!). Our concrete work is so gorgeous and functional, it makes my yard a beautiful summer oasis to simply relax and enjoy. It is how I've always hoped and envisioned my yard and outdoor space to be and it has increased the value of my home immensely. I cannot say enough about Elite... don't hesitate to invest in a project with them. You won't regret it!
