Carmen Garofalo's Concrete Works Inc.

We had a wonderful experience with Garofalo’s Concrete. They were knowledgeable, respectful, on time and great communication. Highly recommend them for all of your concrete needs.

Aug 2021
We had a concrete driveway and front sidewalk installed. Entire driveway and sidewalk pitted after 6 months. Garofalo blamed concrete company that he deals with. Dufferin Concrete. Did nothing to fix the issue. I would not recommend this business. Does not stand behind his work. We paid for a poor job and no resolution from Carmen.

Carmen and Tony great to deal with very professional driveway exceeded our expectations have used them in the past for a patio as well their work is impeccable.highly recommended!

I am very pleased with the work Carmen and his crew did. This is the 2nd time I called upon Carmen to do a job, 6 years ago it was a patio and this time round it was a driveway. Very Good Service - 10/10 - highly recommended!

We had Carmen and associates prepare and pour sidewalks for us and our next door friends between our houses. Right from the start the professionalism shown was first class. Complete information was offered and during the job the entire crew was great. The knowledge of this long term group of professionals stood out. No short cuts, Just everything done the right way from years of experience was great to watch. If you are looking for work to be done at your home my wife and I would strongly recommend you call this company. You will not be disappointed with the results.

Carmen and Tony did my driveway at 5540 Glenholme, there was a large circle in finish, The Garofalo brothers told Me was a BIRD Fight now has cracked and opened up Showing SEVEN inch long DUCT tape very flat QUARTER inch from surface, Like tape Installers use for broom finish! I went to Tony Garofalos House at 5493 Hillsdale ave, TONY HAD NEW STORY WE are not responsible, DUE to CARMENS term of CARMENS CONTRACT and HE closed the door in MY FACE. I had the concrete maker see tape in cement, THEY WROTE IN LETTER TAPE IS FROM INSTALLERS TOOLS, Carmen and Tony have this Letter, I have Filed a case, THE GAROFALO Bothers are retiring soon you will have no WARANTY CARMEN does not Return calls once PAID

Would you please give me an estimate. The base of my garage needs parging as the melting snow in winter comes into the garage. Would you be able to give me an estimate of the cost.

Carmen and Tony and their crew did our driveway, walkway and patio Sept 2019. The quality of their work is second to none! We spent time getting quotes and reviewing various companies' jobs and reviews. Their price was reasonable and their quality and craftsmanship was outstanding. The one major benefit is when they start a job they see it through. They don't start a job and leave you to go do another job. They are very professional family run business and they take pride in what they do. Customer satisfaction is extremely important to them and they treat customers like family. I would highly recommend Carmen Garofalo's Concrete Works Inc!

They will promise to replace concrete that was defective and go after the supplier but will brush you off every call, tell you face to face they will take care of it, but will never show up to honour their commitment and ignore you till you just give up. Will never be referred again to anyone.

Great crew. Very professional. Very knowledgeable.
Very impressed with everything. My patio looks fantastic. My neighbours also were very impressed.
I highly recommend this company as they stand behind their product and service. I will be calling them again to complete the front of my house next year.

Spend your hard earned money on someone else who will back up their work. I hired these guys to put in a small driveway connecting my existing driveway and new garage. I told Carmen multiple times to spare no cost on materials. He reassured me that everything they use as well as their methods was “overkill” for what I needed. When the job was done, he recommended that he seal the driveway for $260, I agreed. Then when he came to seal it the price changed to $320. I didn’t make a fuss, I just paid him. I thought as long as everything worked out I would be happy. Well, the first winter after the driveway was poured I noticed a crack that spanned the entire width of the driveway as well as the entire depth. I messaged Carm that day, he didn’t respond. Finally, when I messaged him a second time, 2 months later, he said to leave it with him and that he would come by and take a look. That was in April. Here we are, another 5 months later and I haven’t heard a word from Carmen. Nor does he respond to my messages. Save yourself the frustration folks. Hire real professionals who will stand behind their work. It took me a lot of hard work to save enough money to have this work done and what am I left with? A hideous cracked driveway!

The professionalism from the very beginning to the last day of the job was fabulous. When I had called to inquiry about the job; they had come over and walked through everything with me. Educated me on what would work and what wouldn't. Showed me photos of past jobs and different ideas to choose from. The final product is amazing. I can't wait for next spring/summer to come so we can entertain in our back yard. I highly recommend this company. Thank you

Sep- 2019- Carmen and Tony and their crew recently completed our new walkway and very large driveway. Fantastic job! They designed a beautiful curved walkway to match our front porch and meet up perfectly with our driveway. We did our homework prior to hiring them and their good price and quality workmanship were evident in every job I viewed. They are very professional and they take so much pride in their trade! They have done this work their whole lives, so they know what they're doing! We have had several people stop by to ask who did our concrete work because it looks so good! Highly recommended!

Carmen and Tony are true professionals. They did an amazing job. I had a 15 foot by 60 foot patio poured. I cannot wait until they do my driveway.

EXCEPTIONAL! Carmen, Tony and their crew are amazing. We had a relatively large job to do. They are such hard workers! They worked tirelessly building forms, digging and prepping to pour even though there was a heat warning and it was HOT! They are true professionals and take pride in their work. The finished product is evident of their commitment and their expertise. Not only did their work significantly increase our property value, but the value that it added to our enjoyment is priceless. Thank you Carmen, Tony and your crew for doing a truly superb job!

In this day and age it is hard to find anyone who takes pride in their work. Let me tell you, Carm and his crew are old school that way. They put quality above all, and stand behind it. They excavated last October, but didn't pour because he couldn't gaurantee the concrete at that time of year due to weather. That takes serious dedication and pride in their work to say that, when many other companies would have just done it without any concern with the end result. They are friendly, and professional through the entire process. If you're looking to get a driveway done, go with them. Great work!

Very professional! They gave us a quote, stuck by it, went over and above, building us a new sidewalk and repairing our concrete frontporch. I have never seen such a hard working dedicated crew of professionals before, in my life! We had called around, got a few quotes, and the one thing everyone else said was, there are no concrete people alive anymore that can fix your porch.oh yes there is, Carmen and his family were taught by their father! They know concrete! Thank you for the great work! We will recommend to everyone these great masters!

They were amazing to work with. They were personable and finished the parting and wall repair by the end of say. People say the house and yard look awesome! Have already recommended them to 2 people! Thank you again to Carm and his team!

We have had this awesome team do our last two (home location) driveways within the last two years. We can't say enough good things about the work they do and the way they treat their clients. We wouldn't think of calling anyone else!

They were very professional, never said a bad word, worked hard and continuously. Came on time, called when rain prevented the work being done. Worked all day until the job was done and then cleaned up. Wrote out a work order, explained how they were going to do it and then they did it. Very, very, professional.

I had two projects in mind when I contacted Carmen, and I contacted other local concrete suppliers as well. Carmen impressed me because he proposed a solution that was cost-effective and would achieve the desired results with the least possibility of complication for a seventy-year-old home. Their work has now been completed and it looks terrific. Carmen and his team are careful, professional, hard-working, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

I could not be happier with the great work Carm and his crew did. They are very experienced and professional, arrived on site exactly when promised every day, and completed my project exactly to my specifications. I highly recommend them and would definitely hire them again.

My experience working with Carmen was top notch. He responded to the initial enquiry and came by to measure my property. Came back a second time as I added some walkways. He offered a very reasonable quote. The contract spelled out exactly what was included and the terms of payment. When the work started Carmen was onsite working alongside the crew every minute. The crew were gentlemen, very respectful of my property. Their experience shows in the quality of the finished job. So far - so good! I highly recommend Garofalos as a reputable contractor.

Great Job! We love our new driveway! It was a pleasure having such professional, super friendly, honest people doing amazing work for us. They did what they said they would do, In the amount of time they allowed. Carmen was on site the entire time, working with his very friendly professional crew, who worked well together. Carmen and Tony are very experienced and knowledgeable about their work. Best quoted price around. I diffinitely would recommend their work!
Thank you guys for a beautiful driveway!

I waited to write this review until today. Carmen, Tony and the crew were very friendly and professional. We had a side patio/walkway installed under the carport and a large 32’x12’ patio in the back yard. It was extremely hot on the day they dug it out and not much better on the day they spread the stone. The job was completed in a timely manner and they left the area clean. I was unhappy with some forms that I was told would have to remain between the fence and patio but once Carmen heard my concern he and Tony rectified the problem. I would definitely use them again on another project and would recommend them.
