CJ is a pleasure to work with. He provided a great design in line with what we wanted. He was clear in his communications and we knew what to expect at every stage. His team did a great job on the execution. Our stamped concrete patio looks wonderful! We heartily recommend CJ for your concrete patio needs

Stamped concrete was the perfect solution for us and Salzano's did an excellent job. We needed a new walkway and front porch to ease the mobility issues of aging, but the esthetics of concrete didn't appeal to me. CJ Salzano brought his brochure and his vision and showed us the many different styles of stamped concrete - shapes, colors, designs. We decided on a flagstone motif enhanced by subtle colors. We widened the walkway and extended the porch. CJ then talked us through available lighting. The whole job, tear down and build up, took about four days and we are delighted with the results. The upkeep is minimal, the safety issues were resolved and the expense was within our budget. Great crew and great experience!

We love our stamped concrete patio, steps, couch wall and lighting that was completed by Salzano Custom Concrete! They replaced an old wooden deck and paver patio/steps. CJ Salzano and his crew worked with us through the entire process. CJ gave us many options to choose from and provided a number of ideas for us to consider. They even added an extension to our patio that we all missed...we worked it out through communicating and measuring everything again. I am most impressed with how CJ and his staff handled this! The addition ended up being a highlight/border to in which we will put our new grill on the patio! I highly recommend Salzano Concrete for your concrete patio needs!

CJ,

Thank you! Appreciate it greatly. It’s a beautiful driveway and sidewalk improvement. Next step is probably improving our other walkways on the side and back of the house. Looking forward to driving on the driveway.

Thanks again,

Yes, the workers have finished both the concrete work and the landscaping. The yard looks wonderful. I am totally pleased and have already received quite a few compliments on your work.

I would like to compliment you for your patience in dealing with me and my indecisiveness, and in your very quick response to both emails and requests for your appearance in my backyard. I could not be happier with your company and certainly would not hesitate to recommend your services.

In addition, it was also extremely helpful to have the landscaping done simultaneously with the concrete as they fully understood the concrete work as well as the necessary plantings. Everyone was so friendly and worked so efficiently that the entire project was truly a pleasure.

Hi CJ,
Saw you out there today! I couldn’t be happier with how it (front walkway) has turned out. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I was super impressed with how the crew took care to protect the house and make everything look perfect. It’s making me excited to figure out what I want to do with the patio in the back of the house!
Thanks so much!!

CJ replaced our current stamped concrete driveway and two walkways. It took about 4 days with one day where they didn’t work while the concrete was curing. They were on time and on schedule and we were very pleased with the final product. Once we got on the schedule everything went very quickly and on schedule.

They were responsive to emails and phone calls and the job went very smoothly. We had 3 other estimates but were most impressed by working with CJ and his thoroughness in providing the estimate and details regarding the job. I think you will be pleased if you have the same experience we did.

William A Hatherill It is a pleasure to write this review of Salzano Custom Concrete for work completed at the end of 2023. Our residential project consisted of a new concrete pad between our existing home and adjacent carriage house, outdoor patio area with Pennsylvania flagstone, and an extension of our circle drive with pavers. The total project cost was over $60,000.

Everyone involved with the project did an excellent job of communicating and working with my neighbors to minimize the complaints associated with a project of this magnitude. The workmanship was great, and the patio area should be a great addition to the overall project. I am not skilled in concrete, pavers, or stonework, but Mr. Salzano made a big effort to assist in preparing me before and after for what I might expect. The project was delayed because of the carriage house construction and Mr. Salzano adjusted his schedule to accommodate the delay and coordinated with the general contractor. The job was handled efficiently, starting on time, finishing without delays, and all the workmen were extremely pleasant. At the conclusion of the project, the area was cleaned of trash and debris.

Mark Slimp We had a large stamped concrete patio built and the end result is quite good for the price. They didn't take long to finish and seemed to know what they were doing from start to finish. The stamped design looks close to real. I would recommend them and use them again. We are happy with the product and quality at the price we paid.

Marla I had a fantastic experience with CJ. He and his team were professional, punctual, and offered fair pricing. What truly sets the apart is their commitment to working with clients to meet their budget, their artistic talent in hand-painting our patio, and valuable design insights. They took great care in our project and provided exceptional service. I highly recommend them for any concrete work.

Ahmad S Sorbi Family. We are very happy with our concrete driveway & stone walkway. Mr. Salzano patiently worked with us to pick the right stone for our walkway & built it perfectly. Salzano crew were professional & time to do the job was great.

C.J. Ellisson CJ and his foreman Maria were excellent to work with from start to finish. They showed up when scheduled, took care not to damage anything in our yard, and cleaned up well at the end of each work day. The driveway, walkway, and landing they did for us turned out beautifully. We liked their crew so much we hired them to fix a sunken area in an existing paver patio in our backyard, re-level it, apply new sand, and seal it. If we ever have a concrete job in the future, we’ll be hiring Salzano Custom Concrete again. Highly recommend this company.

Matt Woodcock We received quotes from several businesses for a stamped concrete patio. Salzano was the lowest quote, but they were also incredibly responsive to questions and provided guidance on color/materials that aided our decisions. They gave us sketches for our HOA and sent us numerous color samples with pictures. When it was time to do the work, the foreman confirmed everything with us and it was done in a few days with no headache. We are incredibly happy with the final product, and absolutely recommend them for patio construction.

Dave T The concrete front porch on our home dates back to the 60's, and had numerous cracks. It looked awful, and as we begin to prepare for eventual sale, we knew it would affect sale/price. CJ advised against simply resurfacing, and instead suggested we could cover the entire top and sides with slate, which is the option we chose. As we had recently replaced the front door, we were nervous about the crew cutting away some of the concrete threshold in order to make room for the slate. Turns out no need to worry - the work around the entry was completed with care, and the front entry looks better than it did before. Materials were dropped off with care. The crew were all courteous and worked quickly in spite of some ferocious heat. The porch looks great! We've had a number of compliments, and we're very happy, and would not hesitate to use Salzano Custom Concrete again.

Greg J I recently attempted to solvent-strip 10 years of sealer off of my existing stamped concrete patio. I created a huge mess and decided professional help was needed. Through research I found Salzano Custom Concrete and called them in for an estimate. C.J. Salzano showed-up at the scheduled time and was shown the patio. After a moment of assessing the patio, he asked me exactly what I had done and what I had used to do it. I was disappointed when he said he would not bid the job as it was outside the scope of work his company performed. However, he did not leave at that point, but stood at the patio for several minutes. Finally, he spoke up saying that although this was not the type of work they did, he did have three recommendations for me to try in an attempt to fix the patio and not call in a contractor. Long story short, the first of his three recommendations worked beautifully! It cost $187.00 for me to get the patio looking almost brand new! No service was rendered by Salzano Custom Concrete, but they solved my problem (from their standpoint) for nothing. Professionalism, knowledge and expertise in working with concrete products, pride in their service, promptness and an innate willingness to help were all reflected in this 40-minute appointment. I can only imagine how good their product is and wish I had a reason to lay another patio to find out. I strongly recommend you give Salzano Custom Concrete a chance to impress you. You will not be disappointed.

Scott I am very pleased with the entire process working with Salzano Custom Concrete. With this being my first cement project, I truly appreciated the communication when I had a question or change in color/pattern. The entire Salzano staff was informative, thorough, and flexible from the first estimate to the final product. Everything looks great! Thanks again!

Evan C I was looking to remove an old paver patio and replace a poorly constructed concrete step on an outdoor patio and found Salzano Custom Concrete via Google. CJ Salzano himself came to the house to review the project and I was extremely impressed with CJ, his professionalism, how he took the time to walk me through all options without pressuring, and was very responsive answering all of my questions. The quote was reasonable (we obtained four quotes) and included demo/dump fees for all of the removed pavers and concrete, which some other companies tried to have me do on my own instead of using their own teams. His team was able to start the project within a week or so of signing the contract and they worked carefully and quickly. My wife and I are very happy with our new stamped concrete patio (and step) and highly recommend Salzano Custom Concrete to anyone looking for a serious, well-respected company that does great work and has the reviews to back it up.

Susan Excellent, honest, responsive, prompt and professional. I would highly recommend Salzano to any considering a patio. CJ communicated throughout the entire process and was very helpful in steering us towards design choices that made for a much better product than we'd envisioned!

Kenneth We hired Salzano Custom Concrete, LLC to build us a new stamped concrete patio, fireplace, and sitting wall. Every aspect of the job exceeded our expectations, especially the quality and look of the final product. We are ecstatic over our new patio and fireplace, absolutely gorgeous. We were pleasantly surprised that CJ Salzano personally checked on the project numerous times and answered any questions we had. Compared to a previous experience with another contractor, the visits and professionalism were refreshing. I highly recommend this company, even if you have to wait in line....the wait is worth it!

Brittany We are in love with our new patio! We were unsure if it would be enough bang for the buck (especially in a townhouse) but are completely blown away! CJ and his team were fantastic! They updated us every step of the way and gave us our dream back yard! My only qualm was their waitlist was pretty long so if it’s something you’re considering get on the list asap!

November 2022

Mister Mister CJ Salzano was by far the most responsive, detail orientated stamped concrete business in the area. I needed lots of information and asked lots of questions, and CJ patiently helped me make better decisions with our stamped concrete patio. In addition, his crew led by Dennis was superb.

September 2021

Donna CJ and his team replaced our 10 year old sagging wood deck with an awesome multi-color, stamped concrete patio with a sitting wall. Their work was great, kept in good contact throughout the job and were professional throughout. We love our outdoor space now!

December 2022

Donna Salzano’s was the best thing that ever happened to my patio. I started with an old paver patio that was uneven and had tripping hazards everywhere. There was also a stone wall around 2/3s of it. Salzano’s came in and removed it all and put in a BEAUTIFUL stained, stamped concrete patio. Did I mention it’s BEAUTIFUL? I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and the service I received from the Salzano’s crew. The crew was wonderful to work with. They were courteous and very experienced. They went above and beyond on multiple occasions actually helping me fix a pre-existing problem so people wouldn’t think Salzano’s had done that shoddy work. I don’t believe you can find a better firm to work with for custom concrete,

We recently had a stamped concrete patio created by Salzano's. Once the project was to start they communicated throughout the project keeping us informed of progress, daily activities, status, and next steps. On the final day of the project, communicated what they did, and how to maintain. All-in-all their customer service, workmanship, and attention to detail were exceptional. Would recommend them for your outdoor patio needs.

Mitch Salzano Custom Concrete could not have done a better job than they did on our project. My wife and I are 100% satisfied and recommend them with no reservations.

They’re in high demand which means you’ll wait to have your job done. From scheduling the initial appointment with CJ Salzano to completion, the process took about 7+ months. But it’s worth the wait.

Our job involved a patio of about 750 square feet with fire pit, sitting wall, lighting, and multi-color stained concrete. It required some grading of the property and the use of curbing at the back of the patio. In the front of the house, they jackhammered out the existing 160 square foot walkway and replaced it with multi-color stained concrete. Based upon when we came up on the waiting list, our job was done in December/January — cold, wet, and not entirely conducive to doing this work. But CJ’s workers were here whenever the weather cooperated, and we are completely pleased with the outcome in both the front and back of our house.

is incredibly professional and open with the process. He tells you what to expect, and then everything proceeds exactly as he said it would. No surprises here. When the work commences he does a terrific job of checking the work and keeping you informed of what to expect based upon weather. And unlike other contractors we’ve worked with who treated every question as an opportunity to increase the price, that was not the case here. “How much more will it cost to use brick on the fire pit and sitting wall than concrete?” resulted in this immediate response from CJ: “nothing.”

It was incredibly refreshing to work with Salzano Custom Concrete. We will work with CJ again. If you aren’t willing to wait for a spectacular job and end up disappointed by someone else, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

D Lee CJ and his team successfully replaced our 30+ years old asphalt driveway with concrete within the budget and schedule. I interviewed over 5 different contractors area and this is most valuable, professional and worry-free contractor you can hire in Northern VA area. All of the team members have great communication skills and were capable to fulfill my ad-hoc requests. I will look forward to hire again in 2021 Spring/Summer back yard patio project.
