Austin Concrete Construction

Robert and his team were great. These are honest, transparent people that will listen to what you want and give advice if needed. I had them build about 500 sqft of concrete patio in my former house and I want to use them again for my new house. Highly recommend their work.

Called twice in the past few months for quotes and both times didn’t show up. First time said he got lost second said his phone was not working. Just don’t see the customer service everybody else sees.

Robert and his crew were outstanding. My wife and I received bids from 7 different companies and found that ACC had not only the best pricing but also the best online reviews out of anyone that bid our job.
Huge shout out to his team for recommending a couple design changes on the morning of the job that we honestly never considered. We’re thrilled with how the job turned out and are incredibly grateful they had the experience and knowledge to make the suggestions they did.
Keep up the great work guys!

Robert and crew brought life to our backyard by adding a nice patio. I knew this was the right place for the review because I saw the barefoot comments, that’s him! 5-​stars all the way. I feel lucky to have found them. Hard workers, smart, experienced, friendly and interesting group of Austinites, fair price with no surprises even though they encountered some challenges they were very creative problem-​solvers and in the end we are very happy with the result. I feel like they took pride in their work and I was able to relax and just trust that they knew what they were doing.

I’m sorry that it has taken me a while to get around to writing a review about Robert and his crew. They put a patio at my home in Cedar Park. I would highly recommend Austin Concrete Construction to any one that needs concrete work. They are a family operation that that takes pride in their work and the end result was a superior quality patio that everyone in my family comments on. The price was right, and they did the whole job in a couple of days. I’m an old guy, and it is hard to find someone that operates a business today with this type of attitude and performance in the workplace today.

There’s a reason for all the five-​star reviews. On time for the estimate (even came out on a Saturday morning), provided suggestions to go along with my request, gave me a very fair price, crew showed up on time and we’re done by the time I got home. Very professional, well priced and highly recommended.

I had intended to write this review several years ago, but now I think it is valuable as a testament to the time tested quality of his work.
In Nov. 2009, I had a 20×20 slab for a garage formed and poured by David. Today, there are no cracks or sags, it has held up well. It cost me $ 2,800, I am sure that it is more now, but that was very reasonable even 5 years ago. I was very happy with his work and how quickly he got it done, as well as the site clean-​up. I would recommend him.

if you need concrete work look no further! these guys were great! got back to me ASAP after my initial inquiry through angie’s list. david came out 2 days later and quoted me on the spot the cost for the job. i had a 6×10 slab that i needed extended to 11×11. he reinforced the addition with rebar (sp?) and topped off my existing slab so it all blends seamlessly. he even offered to take pics of the work before it was finished so when i sell my house the new buyers can see how structurally sound the new slab is. he showed up on time, finished within the time he quoted me and except for my new larger slab i couldn’t even tell they had been there. and perhaps the most amazing thing: the price he initially quoted me was the price on the final invoice!!! i also had a few other people come out and give me quotes and David’s was the most reasonable by far. and the quote was in line with what some handymen had told me concrete was going for these days. i also have a pergola that i need a handyman to put together and one of the guys that came to look at the pergola recommended austin concrete for the slab work. i wouldn’t call anyone else. these guys are dependable, good at their job and reasonable. thanks austin concrete!

WOW… exceptional service from beginning to end. I had two side concrete patios, along with a smaller pad poured. Great price, but more importantly the prior reviews given to Austin Concrete Construction won me over. These quys are informative, knowledgeable, funny and just do a fantastic job. They are worth the wait time, more then worth it. And hard workers!!! I have not seen this kind of service in 25 years. Not only am I posting this on Unilocal; but have already passed along their information to family and friends.

Thanksgiving? With the fam? At MY house? My itty, bitty, teeny, tiny house?
Sure, why of course, that would be totally fun. Yay!
Uhm… other than I’m not sure where to put all these people. I know, howz bout this is the excuse to finally decide to put the concrete patio off the side of the house and we just hope it doesn’t rain!
Unilocal…google…craigslist…yelp…google…craigslist… searching for a concrete contractor with good references.. .
This crew is a well-​oiled machine of fantastic professionalism. The team worked together in a way that can only be described as a dance. The patio has been up for four years now and it is as perfect as the day it was poured.
The patio involved needing to accommodate a clean out thingie, and so I looked around for a gizmo that could be utilized in an unconventional way to secure the clean out and still allow access. Some contractors dislike off-​label uses for objects. Not them — they helped problem solve and embraced the solution. Again — four years later and all is still great.
Not a thing I’d change. I’d totally call them again in the future.

Incredible concrete work. Robert and his crew did excellent work on our house. We extended our front and back patios and poured a walkway from the front to the back. They were there exactly when they said they would, finished the job right on schedule, and did excellent work. I would recommend these guys to anyone! We could not be happier with the work they did. Hire them now!

Found this company through Unilocal and i’m very thankful for this site. Robert (who walks around barefoot) and his crew were very, very nice. They arrived on time, 8:30am and left around 3pm. Had the back patio enlarged and rounded off not square. They did a fantastic job, looking to see what else i can have them do. I definitely would recommend ACC without a doubt to anyone looking for concrete work.

Just had our patio poured by Robert and his crew and I have to add yet another glowing report of this company. It is such a pleasure to find a small business that is as reliable and easy to work with as this crew is.
We had an old deck that we were removing and wanted them to pour concrete to meet up wit the existing slab. A pretty straight forward job and Robert gave us a quote that we were very happy with. We had some prep work to do pulling up the old deck and so had to schedule a couple of weeks out. Robert stayed in touch by phone and was able to do the job exactly as planned the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
Once here the crew discovered that the grade across the area that we had uncovered when we removed the deck meant we would potentially have some issues and need to do some additional work on our own if we stayed with our proposed plan. We decided to go an alternate suggestion and raised the level of the entire patio by a few inches. This decision cost us a little more of course but again a price we felt was very reasonable. We never felt any pressure to make the change we could have easily stayed with the original bid.
The entire crew was great, offering suggestions on how to stain the concrete as a means of finishing it. Different techniques and options were gone over in detail with some good natured bantering as they each had their own preferred methods.
I would recommend this company to anyone who needed concrete work done. They were awesome.

Wonderful people to work with. All the guys are super nice. The price was spot on and worth every penny. The work they produce is beautiful. I could not have picked a better company!

Was looking to widen my driveway on both sides so people didn’t have to step onto the grass or dirt when getting out of the car. I did a bunch of searching online for reviews of local concrete contractors, fearing the worst. I was struck by the consistent reviews about Austin Concrete Construction. The entire job transpired just like everyone else had noted.
Quote (not estimate)!
One day job as promised.
Finished product looks good.
They were a well oiled machine that obviously had worked together for years.
Rain butted into the schedule but it seems everyone got shifted so I didn’t lose my place in line.
I had another use for the dirt and grass dug out for the driveway expansion and Robert made sure the crew did minimum damage to my freshly rained on yard when they transported the diggings to the designated area.
I am now the envy of all my neighbors with their narrow little skinny driveways.
As a bonus to the world of archaeology The diggers found a pull-​tab Coors can, a metal screw top Dr. Pepper made of GLASS!, and a ring of undetermined composition that appeared to be a remnant of the alien invasion of 1979.
ACC is highly recommended.

Robert and his team were friendly, efficient and did great work. They arrived right on time and I was extremely satisfied with the price and the quality of the work. I highly recommend their services!

I needed a 12’x12’ foundation for a shed. I found these guys on Unilocal.The aforementioned barefoot concrete guru showed up with his remarkably affable team promptly at 8am, had a quick discussion on the details of the job, leveled it, trenched the wall supports, framed it, reinforced it, poured it, screeded it, sunk the j-​bolts, floated it, and we were done in the afternoon, easily, as promised, in 103° heat.
These guys know what they’re doing, work well as a team, and are pretty funny, to boot. They have that relaxed demeanor of a group that has seen it all, and simply doesn’t make mistakes. And the price is right on the money, with the extra effort to do the job right thrown in for free. The verbal quote on the phone was exactly what I wrote the check for. I couldn’t recommend the guys, or their work, any more highly. Sometimes it’s nice to work with the level of pro that transcends matching uniforms, sparkly new equipment, and, as it turns out occasionally, shoes.

These guys are amazing.
Definitely a family operation going on here. The owner and patriarch, Robby brought out a crew of about 7 guys for my 360 sq. foot foundation for my music studio. Two of the workers are actually his sons.
He told me today that he used to give his sons little tiny wheelbarrows full of concrete when they were 5 years old so that they could help on the job. Their lifelong experience definitely showed today when they were troweling and smoothing down the slab. I’m doing a stained concrete floor, so it had to be really smooth and and attractive, and they totally nailed it.
As some of the other folks mentioned, don’t be unimpressed when Robby shows up at your house to do an estimate barefoot and possibly shirtless. This must be his secret way of filtering out the uppity clients!
Note: I had another company offer me a bid lower than Robby’s and was initially going to go with them. They showed up for their first day of work and then changed their tune to a price $ 1,200 higher. At that point I called Robby and went with him. So bear in mind that if another company outbids Robby, there is a possible bait & switch situation brewing.
I could type all day about these guys. But I won’t. Call them, you’ll see.

Shannon is correct… Robert and his crew were AMAZING. My driveway looks awesome and perfectly fits with the garage at one end and the existing curb-​cut and preexisting ramp at the other end. It looks beautiful.
And they even did some extra work to ensure that my oak tree doesn’t damage the sidewalk over time. Super nice guys… like concrete artists… actually, Robert’s son (who is part of the crew) is an art graduate from UT and approaches each job like a work of art.
I couldn’t be happier with the guys, their honesty, their work, and their disposition throughout. Great guys. Great work.
Thanks Robert. (and a shout out to Shannon for the recommendation).

Home ownership is a blessing that comes with many special joys & burdens. Unless you’re an old school renaissance man like my dad, you as a home owner must eventually face the crap-​shoot of hiring someone (if you’re lucky, an honest & skilled craftsman) to build or repair something on your property. Unfortunately, we have learned the hard-​way on several occasions that on any kind of home improvement project you undertake, something can & will go wrong. It’s going to take at least twice as much time as you thought to complete (because the workers will only show up every 3^rd day), it’s going to cost you twice as much money as you had budgeted, and the final outcome is going to be below your original modest expectations, which by this time, you will have thrown out the window, willing to accept just about anything to get the dang project complete so that you can once again use that part of your house and get back to life-​before-​the-​project.
We’d been living in our home for about 6 years before we finally had the courage (and savings) to undertake our biggest home improvement project to date — getting a concrete driveway installed. All these years, we’ve been driving, parking, and walking on caliche (dusty white rocks, for you non-​geologists) every day, twisting our ankles and tearing up our high heels (okay, that was probably just me), and creating dust clouds with every pass in and out of the yard. With the arrival of our son, we knew the day was coming when learning to ride a tricycle would require a smoother surface, but so many bad experiences with contractors and handymen made us dread the prospect of tearing up our front yard.
After doing extensive research online, with Angie’s List, and with friends in the building industry, we selected 3 businesses to come out for bids. Of those, Robert Russo of Austin Concrete Construction gave us the best price per square foot, offered better materials for reinforcing the slabs, and promised (weather permitting) to be finished in a week.
It was a rare pleasure to deal with Austin Concrete. Robert was true to his word and personally supervised the job. He was first to arrive and last to leave each day, and except for the couple of rainy days, he and his crew were working on our driveway every consecutive weekday until the job was done. He helped us design the best layout for the 3,800 square foot project, and his decades of experience were an advantage when foul weather meant shifting priorities and activities of the workers dealing with such an unforgiving medium as fresh concrete.
We got a kick out of watching Robert pad around the yard each day in bare feet, like some kind of Zen master who was communicating with the earth and the concrete, coaxing it into doing his bidding. If you look at the website and see a shirtless, gray-​haired man working a machine that pats down wet concrete, that’s Robert. He’s gotta be over 60 (70?), but his upper body is ripped from the hard physical labor he puts in at his business. He owns and manages the company, but he’s out there getting dirty & sweaty with everyone else. He’s the kind of man who pays a fair wage and has no trouble keeping a reliable team of employees.
Bonus: My two year old son was in awe of the cement mixer trucks and all the other machinery, and Robert & his crew were very patient with him. Robert even set up a play area so that our boy could do some of his own work smoothing out some cement.
