Deangelis Concrete is a Fall River, Massachusetts concrete contractor working out of 217 Lamphor Street, taking on stamped concrete, walkways, patios, foundations, and slab work for homeowners across the South Coast. The business is run hands-on by an owner customers call John, who several reviewers describe personally showing up to quote and inspect jobs himself. The strongest, most detailed praise comes from reviews written in 2021 and 2022. In a 2022 review, a homeowner described a faded stamped-concrete pool deck that was resealed within two days of a quote request, at a price the customer called fair. Another 2022 review described a new concrete foundation the customer called "gorgeous" after John explained the process precisely and returned to confirm the finished work. In a 2021 review, a customer described John coordinating a concrete porch repair remotely and with unusual care for an elderly homeowner whose adult child lived out of state. Several shorter reviews from 2021 through 2023 echo the same themes — on-time arrival, straightforward pricing, and cleanup thorough enough that one customer said it looked like the crew had never been there — and multiple reviewers say they called the business back for additional jobs or referred friends and family. Set against that is a cluster of detailed, specific complaints, all dated 2021 and 2022, describing the same trade the business is best known for: stamped concrete and walkway work. In a 2022 review, a customer said a stamped-concrete walkway installed in August 2021 had defective stamp work, gaps between the stairs, and a slope steep enough to be a safety hazard, and that a refund was refused before the dispute was resolved with awarded damages. A separate 2022 review described front walkway steps that cracked, were unlevel, and were not properly sealed, saying the business did not respond after being taken to small claims court. Another 2022 review, updated from an originally positive one, said a shed pad the owner installed was later found roughly 9 inches out of square and 2 inches out of level. A 2021 review described a patch job left unsealed with cement splashed on the building, saying a promised repair never came. Before booking stamped-concrete or walkway work in particular, it's worth asking how level and slope will be checked before the job is considered finished, and getting payment and remedy terms in writing given the refund disputes described above. Foundation pours, porch repairs, and resealing work draw a more consistently positive account. Anyone hiring for decorative or flatwork concrete should weigh both sides of what is, on the written record, a genuinely split history.
Staff were knowledgeable, professional, on time, and kept us involved every step of the way! We are so pleased with this company and the outcomes of our projects!
We hired Deangelis concrete to install a stamped concrete walkway in August 2021. The quality of the work was poor to say the least. Lots of defects in the stamp work, large gaps in concrete between stairs, very rough unfinished looking corners and edges in many places. When we brought these things to his attention he tried to repair some of these defects with a grinding tool and only made things worse. The slope of the steps in the walkway is inconsistent and in some places it is so steep it poses a safety risk. We requested a refund but Deangelis concrete refused. We were awarded damages in small claims court, but John Deangelis has still refused to pay.
Did a TERRIBLE job on our front walkway steps. They are cracking, not level, and not sealed properly. We have to pay to have them removed and redone because they are a safety hazard. We’ve been trying to get our money back for a year. He just ignores us and pretends we have the wrong number/email (the same number and email listed here). We took him to small claims court and he never showed. So unprofessional! Stay away!!! Would give zero stars if possible.
After originally leaving an excellent review about the work quality that was performed on the shed pad that John installed, I need to update my review. Now that my contractor has begun building my 20 x 20 shed, it was discovered that it is 9 inches out of square and 2 inches out of level. In order to build a plumb and level shed, it will now cost me more in labor. Even though John was good to work with, his work quality on this job was not good.
All work so bad don't even know where to start Let me just say this worse company I ever hired. Cost me over $ 5,000 to fix all his mistakes to a barely acceptable level.
