A few people asked me to pass long the concrete contractor list I asked for, and another kind listserver passed along her complied list to me! And it was the same rec's I received...plus more! So here are the concrete recommendations: 

• We used Orbans Landscaping for our concrete steps and a new retaining wall and were extremely pleased with their work and their price.  We have recommended them to others who have used them and feel the same way.  Zach is young, but a hard worker, runs a great crew, is extremely polite and professional.  We live at 5537 Avondale Pl if you would like to look at his work. You can contact Zach at 412-973-5114.
• DeVito Concrete - had a good experience
• David LeDonne of Solid Concrete. He does a really nice job, is small and independent, and lives in the neighborhood. His number is 412-354-7501. 
  
• Shane Moran (724-508-5285) just built a foundation (block and poured slab) for an addition that we're constructing on our house. His work was great!
  
• DiBucci is excellent.
• Bucci is the best but not sure they would do a small job.  Scotti is also excellent.  
  
• We’ve used Devito Concrete & very pleased. Great work. 412-487-0329
• DiBucci is top quality, but not inexpensive.  DiBucci and Sons.  4287 Green Glade Court Allison Park, PA 15101 412-784-1073 dibucciandsons.com
• Used N.C. Persichetti & Sons this plat summer to replace my sidewalk.  Did great job & great cleanup. Call 412-486-2349 & ask for Tony.  Drive by and take a look. It's the new sidewalk on Callery St. GOOG LUCK!!
