Reviews of local pros in Riverside, New Jersey

They did our driveway, patio & walkway. Beautiful job. We get so many compliments

Fabulous company.. Did exactly what they said with outstanding performance!! Would only ever hire Cavado Concrete for any masonry work!!
#1 Company!!!

I was very impressed by the work done by Fernando and his crew, Cavado Concrete does a Top-Notch Job every time, they work clean and their jobs are completed on budget and on time, Every Time!!! I would highly recommend Cavado Concrete to anyone looking to have been quality, long lasting Concrete work done, noone does it better!

We hired Cavado after extensive research into polished concrete floors. There are few companies in the area that do residential work. Cavado was initially very responsive and helpful explaining the entire process.
We put our deposit down in mid-June and were told that they were about four weeks out. By mid-July, we still hadn’t been given a start date. After repeatedly emailing and calling we were told they were delayed by weather (still not sure I understand this as our job was completely indoors) and that we were next up on the schedule. They didn’t begin work until the end of August. Almost six weeks after our estimated start date.
We were told by Fernando that we didn’t have to pour new concrete as the floor we wanted polished was already concrete. After three days of working, my husband received a call to come home and look at the floor. The old asbestos tile glue reacted with the stain and looked terrible. You would think they would have known this prior to starting. Maybe they don’t have enough residential experience. At this point we had no choice but to pay the additional cost to have new concrete poured and leveled. They did take $500 off the price but it would have saved a huge headache if we had known this was a possibly prior to starting.
The finished product looks nothing like their social media pictures. There are low spots all over which were not polished with the buffer. It makes the floor look dusty and dirty. There is a circle mark from the buffer smack in the middle of the room. Around the walls and door jambs is shoddy, rushed work. For $7500 I expected much, much more. Especially since they started from scratch with the new concrete.
We sent several emails to Fernando with responses that he would get right back to us. When my husband sent an email stating that he didn’t appreciate being ignored - he received the response that the entire crew had the flu but someone would be out with an industrial buffer to help with the low spots. I waited 20 days before sending another email - all about giving the company a chance to make the situation right. I also received no response.
Communication is not this company’s strong suit. They were great until we put down our deposit and the communication came to a halt. I guess that should have been a red flag. I blame the owners. The workers that were here everyday worked hard and were honest with us. Aside from an incident when they didn’t call to say they had finished for the day and left the area open for our cats to walk on. And they did.
Bottom line - unless you are a huge commercial job, don’t hire this company. They clearly only care about the bottom line of big customers and don’t have the experience with residential. I would hate to see anyone else as disappointed as we are with such a huge investment
As far as I’m concerned, they stole $7500 from us. Also not a member of the BBB. Wonder why.

We used Cavado Concrete to install the concrete around our new pool and pool house. They did an amazing job and was less than what our pool builder was going to charge. Very happy with timelines and quality of the work. Would definitely use them again!!!

Frank Reale 3rd came out to go over the details of my job. I explained that I have a handicap grandson and we need to have the shower enlarged. This walk-in shower has 2 benches built in. We need to use a shower chair to wheel him in. I wanted the shower moved on the back wall with showerhead centered. We needed it deeper as my daughter needs to bathe him. When he came out to write up the estimate all of the key points i needed and wanted done was left off estimate. I got you, we’re going to take care of you!! He promised this will be done right. He put the shower right where it was. Promises of completion took many weeks. I was so disgusted we couldn’t bathe my grandson for over a month. We got so tired of hearing.. i can be your friend or i can be your enemy. I’ve had plumbers look at it… they shook their heads. Water runs out onto the floor. He reimbursed me some but, not all of it! He also when he was out here working on the shower cut the wires in the wall to my thermostat. I had to have an hvac guy come out on the weekend replace the thermostat and repair the wiring. He wanted pictures how do i get pictures inside the wall?

We were going to have them redo our bathroom. Then they would not return any of our calls. CRICKETS!

The remodeling job for a small bathroom 15x15 was horrible. I had to pay someone else to finish the bathroom floor, and it cost me double the money. I don’t know why they said he can do the job. He had his 2 teenagers sons working for him. It was the worst experience I had. If I were you, I would not hire these people to work for you. He talks a good game but its all lies.

Scheduled an appointment with Ericson Plumbing and they didn’t show.
When I followed up, they said they were available Friday. I asked what time and never received a response.
I understand that schedules can change, but lack of communication and follow-through is a problem. If reliability matters to you, I’d look elsewhere.
I contacted another plumber who communicated and followed through with what they communicated.

Awesome service. Fast response to emergency plumbing leaks and fair price.
Thanks Ericson.

Awesome company awesome team and awesome owner thank you Eric I wish you the best. In everything you do.

Dave came to my house last night 6-6-19 and did a fantastic job. I cant believe he came to my house and stayed that late to get the job done. Money well spent thank you very much Dave!!!!

Eric is who you do business with when having plumbing issues. He's no nonsense gets the job done. Very professional has no problem answering questions you may have. Highly recommended.

Refered by homeadvisor. They came out to clear a clogged main sewer drain. The person who came out was a nice guy but he used every curse word known to man including f-bomb and c_nt. The drain was cleared but he said he needed to break the iron drain cover. He didn't have a replacement so he said his boss would get back with me. That was almost a week ago and I haven't been contacted. I still have an open sewer drain hole outside of my back door. I paid over $400 for 90 min service. "Most of that time was spent complaining about the job" He also said I would have an additional charge to replace drain cover

As a local realtor of 32 years, it can be hard to find prompt courteous and reliable service. Ericson was fast and efficient. He saved the day and my seller was able to close on time.

Eric is the worst "plumber" ever! Home Advisor referred me to this clown when I had a recent 63,000 gallon / month water main break. He has no clue what he is doing and started digging with a backhoe immediately to try and find the leak. He found nothing and caused a lot of damage to my property. He and his clueless workers tried to convince me that I didn't have a leak at all and that it must either be my toilets leaking or a bad water main at the street. After I told him the water company already replaced my water main he said it must be a bad batch and they need to replace it again. Are you joking?? He then replaced my main shut-off valve in my basement and added a few colored tablet to my toilets to detect the leak. He then demanded a $600 payment and said he would return to complete the rest of the job. Well he never called or showed up again and left me with a large hole that I needed to pay another contractor to backfill. I hired a real plumber and they found and repaired the leak within a couple hours and did minimal damage to my property. It pays to hire a good plumber and not someone that is either unknown or an apparent joke in the plumbing community!!

A toilet in our office restroom stopped flushing consistently. Precision Plumbing Services Fort Collins handled the repair visit. The technician replaced worn internal components and adjusted the system. It’s been working normally since the service.

Flawless installation; my shower looks amazing now!

Quick response and efficient pipe repair—back to normal in just about an hour!

Efficient installation with great attention to detail. The plumber was friendly and knowledgeable.

In the midst of a busy week, I noticed a pesky leak under the sink. Thankfully, the plumber arrived promptly, diagnosing and fixing the issue in under an hour. Their professionalism and efficiency turned a stressful situation into a minor blip in my day. Highly recommend!
