Having just had cement work done, I have a few words of caution. Cemeters will give a low price, but you'll get a shoddy job, that looks nice. By that I mean that each square is not really a separate piece of cement. So, if you get a crack in one square of cement, it likely will travel over to other square (a larger repair job). Also, you should question the contractor whether you are getting a separate curb piece,rather than an indentation the looks like a curb. Again, this is important b/c you might later want to make a tree cutout on your sidewalk. That cannot happen if the curb and sidewalk are actually the same piece of cement. I learned the hard way. just sayiin' Jean Clickner In a message dated 3/30/2012 10:12:44 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, mapreads@comcast.net writes: Greetings, all. I recently asked for recommendations for cement contractors. Here are the names I received. Thank you! Mary Anne DiBucci is the best - sign their work because they stand behind it. Baleno Concrete has done 2 jobs for me to great satisfaction. I’ve seen them in the neighborhood doing other work. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. Definitely worth getting a bid from. Hello, my name is Richard Franceschi. I am a landscaper and also do concrete work. I would be happy to stop over and take a look at what you need done. Feel free to give me a call at 412-608-9984. I used Pucciarelli Brothers with great results.very reasonable.Dont have their number offhand but they are definitely listed.Good luck. I highly reccomend Baleno Concrete (724-444-4560 ) in Allison Park. They did our driveway and coating after two years. Very professional and competitive price. Only draw back is that you may have hard time to make appointment since it is doing good business. Rich Roth.
