The Art of Concrete lacks total professionalism!! A representative came to our home and provided us with an estimate to resurface a concrete front porch. We agreed to the price and returned the signed estimate back to the Art of Concrete. In the email, we inquired as to what was their preferred method of payment for the $100 deposit. No response. Wanting to get the job started as soon as possible, we contacted them one more time. The Art of Concrete response was they would not be doing our project. We were confused as to if this meant they would not be doing our project now, but rather at

Jon & his crew recently re-did our front porch and connected sidewalk. Our house was built in the 1940's and we wanted to do something that would refresh the look of the house while still preserving its classic feel. Jon hit those objectives perfectly! We landed on increasing the length and width of the stairs to open up the porch and give a more modern feel, but stuck with brushed concrete to keep a classic look at the same time. Jon also did a beautiful job of shaping the stairs to provide a unique and custom appearance. We couldn't be happier with the end-result! In addition to doing beautiful

First appointment was cancelled with Covid as an excuse, despite the outdoor nature of the project. When Jon came to see the job he was positive and enthusiastic. Told me a quote would be on the way and work could start in the fall. Two weeks go by, no quote, contact Jon, no response. Contact the office and get a sorry your job is not in the scope of our work! They wasted my time , don't let them waste yours.

We loved everything about our experience with Art of Concrete. We hired Art of Concrete to replace our old front steps with new concrete stairs and place a border around our garden. It couldn't have turned out more beautiful. Jon did an amazing job and the completed project was beyond our expectations. Jon offers exceptional customer service and he takes a lot of pride in his work. Jon really listens to his customers and goes above and beyond to make sure the outcome is excellent. Thank you, Jon, for making the front of our home so beautiful.

The service we received from John was exceptional. I can't comment on the quality of his work, as we only rented concrete stamps, but I have no doubt he is dedicated and committed to his costumers. John took his time and spoke with me over the phone, he was very informative and answered all of our questions. He went out of his way to meet me off the 401 for pick up and drop off of the stamps(we were 2.5 hours away). John also offered to speak with our contractor if they had any questions. Thank you John for your time and for going the extra mile, it was greatly appreciated.

I had been searching/getting quotes for concrete driveway for 2 years when I found The Art of Concrete in 2019.Andre Lopes was very upfront with the cost and timeline with a tentative schedule for Sep. 19 or else Spring 20.He also correctly advised not to do my new flower bed layout till the driveway was done.Thankfully he overdelivered by completing in Aug 2019 (imagine spring 20 with covid) and the beautiful (see photo) exposed driveway complements and enhances my flower bed.I am very happy with their work and would highly recommend their service.

We had our front steps and walkway put in to align with our existing driveway. Jon provided great customer service, very responsive and did follow up calls to ensure the concrete was settling fine with the hot weather we had following the installation. Quality of work was great as well.
