We were impressed with Ricardo’s knowledge when he came to give us a quote for replacing our concrete driveway pad and improve a gravel drive that runs through our property.

Ricardo and crew did a fantastic job. They worked with us to get our vision turned to reality. They arrived on time, and went right to work. R & S CCS has the right tools to work very efficently. Their attention to detail shows in the finished product. Their pricing was about half of my other bids. We will definitely use them again.
R & S Concrete Construction Solutions LLC did an outstanding job on replacing my old driveway, walkway, porch, patio, and steps at my house. When Ricardo came to my home for an estimate, he had many practical suggestions on how to improve my front walkway and backyard patio. Ricardo and his team are extremely skilled and knowledgeable about concrete and carefully removed all my old concrete, leveled my areas, spread and packed a gravel base, added rebar, and poured an amazing broom finish on the concrete to complete the project. R & S were immaculate and cleaned the job site daily. I was impressed they brought their own portable toilet, and came on time each day. Every crew member had a superior work ethic, were friendly, professional, and patiently answered my questions. The day they removed the forms, they carefully replaced the sod, gently hosed off the soil left behind on the concrete, and cleaned the exterior house walls where a small amount of concrete splashed. They replaced the gravel in my street parking area where they had cleaned their tools. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants excellent concrete work.

Ricardo and his crew arrived each day with a smile and got right to work. They are a fantastic team. They took the time to make sure each step in the process was done perfectly to their high standards—from start to cleanup.
Our neighbors were so impressed with their work, they asked for Ricardo’s contact information.
We recommend the entire R&S Concrete team. They went beyond our expectations.

I hired Ricardo and his team based on their excellent reviews, and they exceeded every expectation. My garage was in bad shape, with a significant crack and uneven surface. They demolished the old floor and replaced it with a new concrete one, complete with essential elements like compaction, gravel, and rebar, all in just two days. Ricardo outlined the entire plan in a contract and adhered to it, with no unexpected costs or pressure to add extras. Their pricing was fair, they are insured and bonded, and they were very respectful of my property, leaving a clean and undamaged worksite when they finished. While it's a good idea to get multiple quotes for big projects, I strongly recommend R and S Construction.

We needed an extension off our driveway done and Ricardo was awesome! He had great advice to bury conduit and an extension off our gutter downspout that I didn't think to do before. Plus they cut out and repoured a section of old driveway that was sinking and I had been worried about, even though it wasn't in the original bid/time frame. We have already recommended him to family members and will continue to do so. Thank you again!
