Navarrete Concrete

Rene and his brother Alex removed our old broken concrete driveway and replaced it with an awesome looking driveway. The finished it with smaller sections than what we originally had, and it looked great. Both guys are enjoyable to work with.

I am a general contractor with over 25 years experience. The first time I hired Renee, Alex and crew was in 2007 to do the concrete work on a new home. I have used them for all my projects since that time as their skill, expertise and attention to detail surpasses all other concrete contractors I previously hired. As I do a lot of remodels and additions they are often interfacing with my clients. They are always exceptionally respectful and sensitive to their needs and are great at communicating with them when needed. These guys are the best!

I hired them to replace an old and failing driveway. Their quote came in the lowest of 3 local contractors so I took a gamble on «the little guy» because we got the best impression from them. We were also given an address to drive by to see their work first hand. We could not be happier with their work, quality and time line to get it done. These guys REALLY know what they are doing and are very proud of their work, and should be! My only regret is not hiring them a year ago when we had our patio done. Hindsight…

We had a small concrete walkway in front of our yard that was cracked and w just wanted to remove it. After contacting 3 other places for a quote (none of which called us back) we came across Navarrete Concrete. They were prompt, quick and cleaned up the work area after the job was completed. We would definitely work with Navarette Concrete again — it was a pleasant and positive experience!

I have been meaning to post a review for over a year, but I think the fact that it was still on my mind speaks to the quality of work completed by this company. Alex and his co-​workers were conscientious and professional. They also worked with us to realize a design I had sketched that was not standard, and it turned out just as I had imagined. Everyone who has visited has complemented the concrete work and asked who the contractors were – their work speaks for itself. Couldn’t recommend these guys more!

I would like to leave a comment on our recent experience with Navarrete Concrete, formerly Lupe Navarrete & Sons Concrete. Our main contact was Rene Navarrete. Let me say this about Rene — if you are looking for a contractor that responds to your phone calls and/​or text messages promptly — Rene is your man! Wow! We couldn’t believe the great communication we enjoyed with Rene throughout the entire process of the concrete portion of our construction job. A little history about our project: my husband and I decided to build a 30×45′ barn on our property in Sebastopol, CA. We purchased the «kit» through SC Barns in Santa Rosa, CA. They are also awesome and I need to write a review for them, as well! :) After securing the permits through Sonoma County, we set out to find a concrete contractor. I found Lupe Navarrete & Sons Concrete through Unilocal and their reviews were so wonderful that we called them right away. My husband met with Rene (one of the «sons») and learned that the company was now called Navarrete Concrete. Rene came out the very same day to give my husband an estimate. One thing I should note about a building kit from SC Barns — the concrete foundation has to be EXACT or the kit is not going to fit on it! The plans called for installing four posts into the main foundation and the measurements had to be perfect. This is not something you usually run into for a foundation for an outbuilding. Additionally, Rene and his brothers did not have any experience with this type of installation. However, they were up for the challenge and checked and rechecked their work at every step of the process. The results were that the posts were installed in the concrete foundation PERFECTLY and the Sonoma County building inspector was extremely impressed with their work, as were we! I just can’t say enough good things about this company! Rene and his brothers would show up exactly when they said they would (which was 6:30 AM) and work all day with only one small break for lunch! They are very hard workers, dedicated to their craft, friendly and polite. My husband had previously gotten 3 bids for this concrete job and Navarrete Concrete beat all three! We will definitely be using them again for some miscellaneous concrete work we have planned around our property in the future. Give Rene a call for your next concrete job — you won’t be sorry!

This is the second time we have used Lupe Navarrete Concrete in the past year. We wouldn’t use anyone else. This job was unexpected when we removed a patio bench and found damaged concrete under it. The guys are busy in the summer but found time to do this work within ten days of our call. Now we can replace the bench and beautiful concrete work will extend from under it. Nice guys, professional, prompt, and they clean up after themselves meticulously.

I used Lupe Navarrete Concrete recently to expand a walkway and add a patio to the side of my house. I dealt primarily with Rene & found the entire team to be reliable, hard-​working, thorough & just overall easy to deal with. Rene communicated with me regarding the project every step of the way, offered advice and options, and the project was completed on-​time and on budget. They were able to match the finish to the existing walkway better than I had hoped. When I need more concrete work done they will be the first call I make!

Lupe Navarrete Concrete are by far the best concrete contractors I have ever worked with.
Renee and Alex are incredibly reliable, hard working, friendly and genuine. They do amazing work faster than I could believe possible! Always polite and respectful of the property and very detail and service oriented. They were very attentive to the needs of myself and my project and contributed a great depth of experiential knowledge that was indispensable. The price is always very reasonable and often substantially lower than other offers but their work is punctual and masterful. Honestly if you are lucky enough to get them you should; even if you have to wait a little while. Renee will do the job once the right way and give you a great price!

You won’t find a better cement contractor than Lupe Navarrete. They were extremely reliable and on time, reasonable in price and were very professional. What sets them apart is their meticulous attention to detail and their intention to do the job right and to satisfy their customer. I will never use another company.

From start to finish these guys were fantastic. Always on time and did a great job communicating the project timeline. Prior to the job, they provided a lot of examples we could drive and see to decide on the exact style and color we wanted. Concrete has been dry for 2 weeks now and we’ve had a lot of people compliment the job. I’ll update with some pictures shortly.

We rebuilt our guest cottage and the original concrete slab was not level. The Navarrete Brothers poured a new slab which corrected the problem and made it possible to install our flooring. Their work was so beautiful we really hated to cover it! My husband is quite meticulous and hard to please and he was totally impressed with the quality of their installation. They made sure the installation could happen in a timely fashion and took good care of our garden near the pour. As a Realtor I am thrilled to be able to recommend such a great service provider for my clients who need concrete work.

As a general contractor with over 30 years of experience on commercial and residential projects, I have to say that these guys are some of the best concrete workers I’ve ever contracted with. They are also incredibly meticulous, good with my own clients, respectful, and fair priced. Some of the finest work I have seen. I’m glad I met them while they were doing a neighbor’s driveway. I’ve worked with them on my last several projects and plan to continue for years to come. One very important thing to me is that they keep their word. .. when they say they will do something that is exactly what they do, even when it may cost them a bit more to do so.

My husband decided he was sick of the deck in our back yard and he ripped it out one day. The gesture was awesome but we were left with a really really ugly gravel backyard. We called several concrete companies and received several bids. The company is run by Lupe Navarrete and his three sons. One of the sons came out to our house, with a portfolio of previous work and talked extensively with my husband and I about what we wanted. Later that evening as promised we received an email with the bid. We felt the bid was reasonable and also we felt that Lupe Navarrete really listened and understood our needs. One of the sons, Alex was also very up front about what would work in our back yard and what wouldn’t. Originally I wanted this crazy pattern, and Alex told me, «honestly you will get sick of looking at it.» He offered suggestions and I am so glad I took his suggestions into consideration. He suggested I go with a natural stamp that would look more delicate in my backyard. Honestly it looks like real stone. I love it.
The three sons, Alex, Renee and Jose are awesome. They are pleasant, polite, and professional. We enjoyed having them work in our backyard all week and we were a bit sad when the job ended. We know that in the future if we ever need more concrete poured, these are our guys.
By the way, Alex noticed the front of our house needed some concrete work as well. He and his brothers offered to complete a portion of the front house as well and we have the best looking driveway thanks to these guys.

I was in a hurry to get some concrete work done. Made several calls and got some bids. Chose this company because they seemed to have a good handle on the details involved and seemed very accommodating.
They arrived on time and put in long hours to get the job done right. I am really happy with the results.

I needed to get a landing for some stairs and some concrete walkways poured. After checking Yellow Pages and Unilocal,I made six calls. The rep from Lupe Navarrete Concrete was the first to express an interest in the job. (As it turned out, most never bothered to return our call.) I knew I was onto something when he had the courtesy to call and say he would be 10 minutes late for our appointment.
When he arrived and we began to discuss the job details, I was impressed with his professionalism and expertise. I was also impressed with his photos of previous jobs. The next morning he sent his bid via email, and I accepted.
Work began a few days later. The crew, which comprised of three sons of Lupe Navarrete, arrived early and began preparing the site. I was curious about the process; all three brothers were pleasant and courteous as I stepped out occasionally to watch. At the end of the day, they again outlined what lay ahead with the pouring of the concrete.
The next day the crew arrived early and got right to work. Hours later I stood back and was thrilled with the outcome. I highly recommend this business!
