Concrete Contractor reviews across the US

Tuck was super hero this week! He freed us from our ice cliffs at the end out our drive and removed the slalom we called sidewalks He was prompt, communicative and professional! Would recommend!

UPDATE: Tuck came back today, one week later to retrieve his cones and provide one final inspection. He then power washed the street where work was done and power washed our new driveway. He didn't have to do that and yet he did which makes us appreciate him even more. Tuck has exceeded our expectations.

TL;DR Tuck is the man. He knows everything about VDOT aprons and driveways. His reputation precedes him with the VDOT inspectors. His prices are in the mid-high range but you get what you pay for: excellent workmanship, incredible transparent service, and a driveway that will pass inspections.

The Long Version:
Over one week, I interviewed 10 driveway contractors who each had vastly different ideas about what I could legally do to install a driveway in my front yard which at the time had 3 trees, a retaining wall, and no apron (curb cut-out).

One person said I could do it with no permit, wrong. Another said I needed to ask the county, also wrong. And another said I needed to talk to VDOT not the county. After discovering that the last guy was right, I contacted VDOT and became overwhelmed by all of the paperwork I needed to prepare for a permit.

That's when I Googled "VDOT apron" and the first search result was Tuck GC. I read a couple of their articles and knew that these guys could help us.

When Tuck pulled up, he patiently listened as I fumbled my way around explaining what we needed. Then he explained what we could do, what we should do, and provided a few more suggestions that would greatly improve things.

We decided to add a 20' double-car pad and replace our existing walkway since it had no control joints (to prevent cracking). He gave us a rough-estimate right away and came back the next day with a formal proposal.

Let me be clear, Tuck was the first contractor out of 10 to provide a real proposal. One guy actually sent me a photo of his notepad covered in chicken scratch while the rest never even followed up!

Out of the 10 quotes, Tuck's was 4th most expensive. In other words, there were 6 cheaper quotes, and 3 more expensive quotes. But none of those 9 knew how to install a new apron legally. Only Tuck offered to help us from A to Z.

With winter coming, we knew we were in a time crunch because no respectable concrete team would pour in freezing temperatures.

We really wanted to sign the contract but felt that this was a large project for. It was going to be expensive. Tuck was great in helping us adjust the payment into 4 stages. After working that out, we signed the contract and he fulfilled every deliverable.

Tuck quickly got us through permit process, we hired a great tree removal team to take out our 3 trees, and then Tuck kept us in the loop as his crews caught up with all of their prior work. We waited 2-3 weeks and at any point that we had a question or wanted to update him on tree removal, Tuck was just a text away.

Finally, Tuck got us an install date. He took extra care to remind us a day earlier that his team needed the street clear. His reminders helped us coordinate shuffling our cars and our neighbors' cars around.

Installation lasted two days and it went smoother than he had promised. With zero rainfall, his crew wasted no time demolishing the retaining wall and walkway, then prepped our front yard.

The three dump trucks picked up the waste on the first day, and the two concrete trucks with his team poured with precision on the second day. Now here we are on the third day and my wife and I had big, ridiculous grins on our faces as we walked about our new driveway.

We can barely wait the 7 days to finally pull our cars in.

There are so many more details to this process, if you want to know more all I can do is urge you to call Tuck GC. That guy knows this business.

Excellent work, extremely detailed, professional from the estimate of the job all the way through to the finishing touches. Highly recommended if you are in the market for any concrete work, Tuck and his team took out our old asphalt driveway and replaced it with an amazing concrete one. Exactly as requested and planned, his high quality work left us with a greatly improved entrance to our garage that adds value to our home and really improves the curb appeal of the front of the house. His work was extremely efficient and exactly on the timeline that he promised. Look no further than Tuck if you want the job done right and with no problems.

Tuck is the best! Took care of the ice and snow banks in front of our house on the same day I reached out. Great communication and even better results! This is the guy for the job!!

The mix of heavy snow and freezing rain left my truck and car buried under a thick ice wall from the city plows. The driveway entrance was frozen solid and very hard to clear with a shovel, but the team's machinery made easy work of it.

We texted halfway through to move the cars once they were unstuck so they could clean the ice from underneath them.
They cleared the entire site, including the driveway and mailbox area.

They also took care of the street for several surrounding neighbors, pushing the ice wall toward the common area instead of leaving it in front of the houses.

It was a thorough job that saved everyone a lot of backbreaking work. If you're dealing with a heavy frozen mess, these guys are the way to go. Highly recommended and the rates are very affordable!

Thanks Tuck for doing an amazing job with clearing our sidewalks and for removing all of that heavy ice out of our driveway. Service was quick, professional and reasonable priced. We will definitely use Tuck's services again. Thank you!!!

Tuck and his crew did an amazing job. I found Tuck through google after talking with a few recommended crews from a previously contractor but found none were willing to through the permitting process nor had proper VDOT apron experience. After getting in touch with him, I met up with on a Saturday, explained how my situation, duplex house with no driveway, and we created plan. Tuck was able to secure the permits and even was able to work with the county on a design, saving me from having to move a water meter, which would have been several thousands dollars. The work itself was installing a new driveway, new concrete path to my house, a walkway to the back of the house and a trash pad. It took just 2 work days and was exactly as designed. County employees showed up from another house nearby and said how great the work was. Tuck went the extra mile and cut my door fence and made the fence mechanism work better... and even fixed my neighbors. Overall, he and his crew did amazing work at a fair price. Highly recommend him.

Tuck and his crew did an amazing transformation of our driveway and front entrance. We went from a rapidly deteriorating asphalt drive way to a new concrete driveway, a new stone walkway, and stone put over our existing plain concrete front stoop. Tuck is very easy to work with. For example he met with us for initial design of our front entrance, he met us at the stoneyard to help pick out the right stone for the walkway and front stoop, and he coordinated closely with our carpenter who was building a portico over the front stoop. Tuck is very meticulous and detailed about his work, and it is obvious that he takes great pride in it. From design to completion we give Tuck GC 5 a star rating!

Promptly returned my calls. Started job when promised. Fast and efficient. Cleaned job site at the end. Very satisfied.

Another satisfied customer, the concrete work is all good, the driveway is 100% great, better than we expected. The stamping is 9 of 10, and the grading is 9 of 10, good. Jose was a pleasure to work with, listened and installed as requested. Good price, on time, good clean up. Recommended.

Jose' and his team did an amazing job pouring a new mini-golf build for us! They did the forms perfectly and were easy to work with! I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs a solid team - no matter how big or little the job is!

We had a large patio poured, and they did a terrific job. Very reasonably priced, thorough, high-quality craftsmanship. They came back later to remove the forms and put fresh dirt around. This will be my first call if we have future concrete needs. Overall, couldn’t be happier with the price, quality, and service!

Colin concrete was able to restore our stamped concrete back to better than new!

We had a very good experience with Colin Concrete and we worked with Jose and his brother and the rest of the team. I understand why they get a 5 star review. I would HIGHLY recommend them.. We will be using them this summer for another concrete step that needs updated. They came in and went right to work and got the job done.. We had many compliments that the step looks great and improves the value of the home... Thank you....

Colin Concrete was very responsive, especially for what I believe is a Sole Proprietor who has to juggle dozens of calls a day. Came out very quickly to measure and had a quote created on the spot. Within a few weeks, the crew was out to replace my sidewalk. They were in and out in a day, then came back a few days later to cut in the relief joints after some cure time. The bill was what we agreed upon. Overall, a very responsive, quick and trustworthy company. A plus rating in my book. Thank you!

They did a 32ftx12ft concrete patio for me. It looks nice. My issue is that I had to chase them down to clean up after the job. They did the whole job on Thursday, which was great, and came back on Friday to clean up, but left an entire pile of rock in my neighbor's yard, left pipes/hoses, and they had severed a power cord in my backyard that led to my garage and didn't even tell me about it. So, I had to call back and have Jose come back out to my property to fix it. But, he didn't bring anything to move the rock, so he said he would come Saturday, then they told me Monday. When I pushed back on them, they finally came out on Saturday. They didn't move the rock, they just kinda patted it down and said "Is it good?" They're a fine company. The price was good. I would monitor them and ensure they clean up before they go.

Colin did a fantastic job on our driveway. We made a portion of it a patio with a colored cobble stone print pattern. It came out nicely. Just what we pictured it would look like. We had some existing stone and brick work that he had to work around. We also had a gate and some stairs that were removed to lay the concrete in the best looking way. He and his team returned and reinstalled everything. We also ended up needing some foundation repair. There were a few issues that we wanted addressed, and Colin came right away and addressed them until we were satisfied. He and his team were very easy to work with. I would highly recommend the quality of his work.

Despite mentioning several times that there is a storm predicted in the afternoon, Colin decided to lay the concrete for my driveway.
He kept saying it will not be an issue. Just as they were pouring the last section of the driveway, it started to pour, leaving several rain marks on the concrete.
Overall it was not a pleasant experience. The company has skilled workers but I would give the owner poor marks for communication. I had to ask him if I need to water the concrete daily or how long I could not drive on it. He never bothered to mention any of these.
I now have a driveway with rain marks and poor finish. Not the kind of driveway I had asked for.

Jose and his crew replaced my driveway the results were amazing we recommend Colin concrete to anyone.

Excellent experience! After calling for a quote Jose actually showed up later that afternoon and gave a very competitive quote for a concrete patio. He also filled in some areas with rock in my backyard. Within 1 week his crew came out and poured a fantastic looking stamped concrete patio. Would highly recommend using Colin Concrete for any of your concrete needs!

Jose gave us a quick estimate, came to complete the work on time and on budget (per estimate. The crew was polite and hard working. Clean language and professional. And clean up at the end was 1st class. Thank you.
