A-1 removed an asphalt work surface and replaced it with concrete. They were great! On time. A courteous and professional crew. Excellent final product and clean up. I would recommend A-1 for your concrete needs.

We hired Mark Simmons and his crew to install two concrete pads on our Atascadero property. A 24x16 under a recently built pergola and a 12x12 in front of our shop. From initial contact to project completion Mark was quick to respond and a great communicator. Larry, the onsite foreman was friendly, helpful, and on time over the two days it took to complete. Prior to the pour, he let us know what to expect and also went over his ideas for joint placements so it looked nice under our pergola. My wife and I could not be happier with the end result and would not hesitate to use A-1 Concrete again! Thank you Mark and team!

We have another concrete job coming up and would not think of using anyone else but Mark's A-1 Concrete. His ideas, his thoughtful review of the scope of work and his suggestions from drainage to finishes, as well as the professionalism of his crews have all kept us on budget and on time. A-1 Concrete was one of the first contractors we hired when we moved here seven years ago, we have readily referred this company to friends up the road, and we look forward to working with Mark & his team again on our new project.

We hired Mark Simmons and his Crew to install a concrete retaining wall and patio in our backyard in April, 2016 and it has been a complete nightmare. The retaining wall is structurally unsound and has developed significant cracks (all concrete cracks, but less than a month after installation, you can fit a quarter in the cracks of our wall). When they were installing the concrete, the crew blocked the excavator in with the new patio and the operator demolished the side of our yard to get it out. This caused extensive damage to our yard. And, to add insult to injury, the building inspector for the City of Atascadero has now informed us that A-1 Concrete failed to obtain the proper building permits and that the work will not pass code because it is so subpar. Now we must rip everything out and start all over again. The cost is astronomical.

We have paid for over 80% of the job and Mark Simmons refuses to give us our money back or to work with us to find a resolution. We have reported him and A-1 Concrete to the Contractors State Licensing Board and they are currently under investigation. Do yourself a favor and hire a Contractor of a higher caliber so you don’t have to lose a ton of money and time like we have.
