Zalman Sher on Big Blue Construction

I had a good experience with big Blue Construction. We had them take out 23' x 12" wide of a concrete driveway for our Underground electrical conduit to the garage. They cut and remove the concrete trenched backfilled doweled and poured. Everything went seamlessly. Nice crew.

Carlos Torres on Big Blue Construction

Roberto and his team did an excellent job! They were punctual, very communicative, and took managed the entire permitting process with the city. They were great at being a go-between between the city and us. Roberto kept us updated the entire time. They were very professional and were very neat and tidy. Pricing was very competitive to other bids. I would highly recommend Roberto and his team at Big Blue Construction. Thank you so much, Roberto! Our sidewalk looks incredible!!

Roberto and his professional construction crew built the foundation, structure and deck around it for us. Very meticulous, detailed and honest work. I will be referring him for any consideration work big or small.

Great work, great communication. Will use again.

Roberto did our sidewalk repair as required by the city inspector. Very professional. Excellent workmanship. Always showed on promised time. Good price. And was available quickly for smaller jobs (50+ sqft sidewalk repair)

I am owner of property from out of town and Roberto made it very easy to work with.

Roberto handled the permitting process without any handling charges. Went to Department of Public Works 2x (submit permit, and pickup no parking street sign) Contacted the inspector to check on various details to confirm acceptance in advance. Compared city concrete delivery vs individual bags prices for best pricing option (went with city concrete as they are better quality at about same price for this job)

Prices were slightly higher than non concrete specialist small general contractors but expertise knowledge is unmatched. Knew exactly how many tiles of side walk was required to get the proper grading for water drainage. He actually did 2 extra tiles than original contract during the repair after discovering the proper grading needs. He wasn't going to charge me and just left it at my discretion to cover his additional material+labor cost (which I did). Seems very honest contractor to work with.

For this job I reached out to 2x small contractors and 3x construction companies. Stats were

- 1 small contractor never replied with a quote.
- Another small contractor provided slightly lower quote but disappeared over XMAS vacation for 2 weeks.
- Roberto was the only construction company to reply to my contact. Others didn't even return contact. Perhaps the side walk repair job was too small?

Spoken communication slightly difficult but text is quite perfect and sufficient.

Highly recommended.

Attached picture shows the work. 1 tile include city storm water / sewer drain. And the blocked off area during curing as well as sidewalk detour through parking spot (required and have street space permit)
