Hawk’s Services Concrete

I used Hawk about 1 year ago for a commercial property and i must say it is the worst concrete job i have ever seen! After the job was done it looked pretty good. We agreed that he would put rebar and or metal before he pouured concrete to minimize the cracking since he stated all concrete will crack. Once i got to the property and he was pouring concrete i noticed that there was no rebar underneath the concrete. He stated that he used a special form of concrete that has a mesh inside of the concrete that is better than putting rebar, which will reduce the cracking if the concrete even more. After 1 year there are huge cracks everywhere. I had another project for a huge driveway that fits about 25 cars. I used someone else and after 6 months there is virtually no cracking!!! That is the reason i am writing this review after such a long time after the job was completed. Im sure he did not used a more expensive concrete with a mesh included in it and probably just did not want to spend more money on material. The price was probably 30% more expensive that what i should have paid!!!
I will never use him again and do not recommend him or his service !!!

Hawk is a good guy, he did some concrete work for me. I wouldn’t give his work a 10 but it ended up looking ok. I gave him 4 stars because I know concrete isn’t east and I also seen worse, his price was fair. I would probably hire him again in the future

Great Job very professional. Started at 8 am pouring by noon, done by 4:00.
This included removal of 375 square feet of concrete. Great price you cant go wrong. if you need a drive way pad done, these are the guys to use. My hats off to these guys

Very Happy with Hawks. Terrance was promped and had a very respectable staff. From start to finish it was a professionall job. I had a two car garage in the back of the house and driveway running along the house to the street. He had the old driveway ripped out and replaced in two days. I highly recommend Hawks and Terrance to anyone who needs a great Cement Job.

we had a horrible experience ! late and shoddy work
we would never call this company again… many better concete companies out there…

I had a really great experience with Terrence. He was professional, punctual, and fair in his pricing. With regard to the other user’s comment, there were no surprises and he stayed true to his original quote. Terrence even made sure I was comfortable with the forms before he poured. I agree with Mark (the other user) that you should always check the square and bidding but you should do that for all contractors. I try to make a habit to stay involved during the process to make sure it is done right. Terrence made sure I was happy the whole time.
His workers were pleasant and hard working. Between Terrence and his worker Joe they bring a lot of experience together… decades. Joe is a pro. He comes from generations of concrete/​masonry guys. That goes a long way. They are specialists.
Terrence worked with my budget and the final result I felt like I got one hell of a deal. It was beautiful. He installed a beautiful patio for one of my rentals. It makes a huge difference and the design was perfect. He even fixed another area that had uneven concrete, the laundry area of my rental property. Terrance showed up early and got the job done. They were efficient with their time and worked very, very hard. I recommend them most definitely. He is very honest too.
Tip: As a suggestion, you get better rates doing the construction on the weekdays because equipment rentals are cheaper.
If you want to save money and dig yourselves, I would think twice about it. You have to take the man power and hours to dig. It’s hard work. AND you have to figure out what you will do with the dirt afterwards. Hauling and dumping are expensive. I would just have Terrence take care of it. I learned my lesson.
Terrence services all of the Los Angeles area. They did a great job with the clean up. Don’t be afraid to ask Terrence questions either. He will patiently answer them and make sure you are comfortable. Great customer service.

Terrance was on time for the quote. We were pleased that he agreed to pour a slab for a storage shed. Not many companies were interested in such a job. He did make a last minute cancellation for the first day of the pour, but this was not a major problem because we expected two days and they got it done in one. He was also on time for the pour and he and his co-​worker were hard working.
Be certain he measures carefully during the quote — The slab was on a slope and once he got the form up, he realized that he needed much more concrete than he had spec’d. This raised the price. In addition, be certain he uses a square when building the form. While our slab is the correct size, it’s a slight parallelogram rather than a square. Fortunately, I had increased the size slightly from the shed spec and it still fits.
They did clean up well after the job and were very careful around the plants they had to work around.
Overall, it was a good job and I’d probably use them again; however, I’d watch a bit closer in both the bidding process and the form building process.
