Nobody better at concrete. Nobody.
We had an awkward project that involved moving the door into our basement, digging a new space for new steps (by hand) on the side of the house, cutting through 10 inches of foundation for the new door, pouring a section of new foundation to replace where the old door was removed, trenching for new drains that needed to be connected to the main drain, and then creating new concrete steps. We received a number of quotes and ideas on how to pull this off in a small space. Ramon was the guy. A reasonable bid and, more importantly, the best ideas. He and his crew, including Alex and Noe, were courteous, professional, quick, and thorough. It was a pleasure to have them working onsite. (And we've worked with a LOT of contractors over the years.) Not only did they do an amazing job, they also took away all of the extra dirt and clay from the dig at our request.
Ramon was also very tech-proficient, and I received prompt and professional replies to my emails on the mornings when I couldn't be at the house to supervise.
Gets the HouseinProgress Seal of Approval!
These guys are the consummate professionals.
My wife and I needed to find someone to tear down the crumbling steps in front of our house, and replace the sidewalk on the side of our house.
A friend recommended Ponce Builders. Isidro came out to provide us with an estimate, and the estimate came in well below what we expected to have to spend based on our research. Since they were highly recommended to us, we decided to move forward with the project.
First off, they were willing to accomodate my aversion to loud noises before 9am. They started later than their normal starting time at my request, and frankly, my fears of noise were largely unnecessary. Unlike some construction crews, there was no music playing, nobody shouting or whooping, these guys were respectful of us and our neighbors and behaved like true professionals at all times.
As for the work, it far exceeded our expectations. The stairs are made of solid concrete, the finish is attractive and uniform, the sidewalk slopes slightly away from the house as they promised it would, so that water is directed away from the foundation. They preserved our original railings in order to save us money, and they did a great job of setting the railings into the stairs.
They cleaned up completely after they finished the job. They didn't charge a penny over the estimate.
These guys are the best, and we will definitely call on them again when we have the need for work on our house. Some day we'd like to tear down the back porch the last owners of this house built and replace it with a brick room with a fireplace, and we know Ponce Builders will do a great job.

My condo association needed to have our front steps replaced and a new sidewalk installed to replace the marginal work that the original developer did. I realize that finding a contractor on Craig's List is pretty much a crap shoot, but didn't know where else to turn. I meet with three contractors and received bids from each with Ponce Builders being the only one to submit a written bid outlining the scope of work to be done. This and the fact that the other cement contractors were willing to acquiesce to my likely ill conceived money saving shortcuts whereas Ponce was not garnered them a better reputation in my associations eyes.
The work was done quickly and the owners and crew were quite accommodating and did a good job cleaning up the construction debris. Their lead cement finisher was a bit of a perfectionist and did a fantastic job. Sadly the neighborhood kids managed to drop a kickball into the finished sidewalk about ten minutes after the workers had left, but what are you going to do. All things considered from price to quality I'm very happy with the job that Ramon and his crew did.
