I cannot say enough good things about Pat Geary of Custom Concrete Works. He is professional, talented, takes pride in his work, has a solid work ethic, and is super friendly. His Aussie accent immediately disarms you when you first meet him, and you just know that he is going to take good care of you. He even presents you with printed documentation of his credentials and licenses so that you know he is legit.
We had a small concrete patch project where a drain line had been repaired. We gave Pat the additional challenge of matching the patch's color and texture to the surrounding 20-year-old concrete. He went above and beyond by making color sample pieces so that we knew what to expect before he poured the concrete. No one else we had talked to offered to do that. Most concrete guys didn't even want to deal with trying to match the new and old concrete. That's where Pat is different. He's an artist with expert control of his medium. No wonder since he has been doing this since he was a kid, growing up surrounded by a multi-generational family concrete business.
Pat also did not make us feel like our project was too small. Everyone else we met with put off a vibe that said: "Is this it?" We never felt that from Pat. He was just as enthusiastic about our project as if it was a whole new pool deck.
Pat doesn't cut corners and does the job right, because he has integrity. Other concrete guys didn't even mention drilling and doweling. They were just going to pour concrete with no structural support. I had to convince them that they should be adding rebar. How crazy is that? Pat, on the other hand, made sure that the patch was properly fitted with rebar so that it was secured to the existing patio, and has the strength to last.
Finally, throughout it all Pat maintained a clean worksite, a detail not lost on me. Other crews have left our yard a mess, but Pat takes care to respect your property. It's little touches like that that set him apart from everyone else out there. And it is one of the many reasons I will not hesitate to contact Pat again in the future if I ever have any concrete needs. He is a gem!
