We usually do most of our own home repairs, gardening, and DIY projects.
One thing we could not do ourselves was replace our circa 1917 old cracked
82 feet long driveway and widen our 7′ driveway approach (with a steep
angle of approach designed for a model-T) to a new 12′ wide City standard
driveway approach with less than 8 degrees angle of approach. We would
need a licensed contractor who could work within the City of Alhambra’s
public-right-of-way.
We started calling for quotes in early April of 2014 and A.F.R. Masonry,
Alex Diaz, gave us our second lowest bid out of 6 bids. Alex was the only
contractor who said he would honor his bid longer than 60 days. The City
of Alhambra would definitely need more than 60 days to complete the
relocation of a water meter that was in the way of a new driveway approach.
I liked the fact that Alex said he had his own digger (to break and haul
concrete) and he was based locally in El Monte. His bid price was a
definite draw (one of our highest bids from another general contractor was
more than triple the amount of Alex’s). So after the water meter was
relocated we called Alex and he said he was available to do our job within
two weeks and could complete the job in approximately 6 working days.
The job is just finishing up today and I just had to write up this review.
I have been waiting a long time to be able to drive into my driveway
without hitting my tires on the curb face. The new no frills driveway is
so much more pleasant to look at then our old cracked and patched driveway.
The work was done on time and on budget! Alex did not complain about
having to deal with the large magnolia tree roots adjacent to the driveway
approach. He listened to our concerns and made sure they were addressed.
The craftsmanship of the concrete work with proper forms, slopes, and
finish was definitely on point. I am very happy with the job well done.
I recommend calling A.F.R. Masonry if you need a quote on concrete work in
the San Gabriel or Los Angeles area.
