Service Area · Northeast Philadelphia
Family concrete contractor
Marcello and his father have poured concrete for Northeast Philadelphia residents and businesses since 1997. The family operation covers the full NE Philly grid, Mayfair, Bustleton, Holmesburg, Rhawnhurst, Burholme, Pennypack, Castor Gardens, Tacony. Same family crew on every job, no subcontractors and no call center.
NE Philly is the part of the city we work most. Driveways and aprons that take heavy daily traffic from trash trucks, USPS, and school buses on top of regular vehicle wear. Sidewalks at the curb line that have to pass city inspection. Front-stoop concrete steps that match the bull-nose profile and rise-and-run of the rest of the row. Backyard patios on the deeper NE Philly lots. Stone pointing on the older row-home facades. Chimney repairs on roofs that take a hard winter every year.
For NE Philly businesses, we pour storefront sidewalks, ADA-compliant transitions, parking pads, and the right-of-way work that local commercial properties often need. BBB A+ Accredited, 4.8 stars across 177 verified Google reviews, family-operated since 1997. The hands that quote your work are the hands that hold the trowel, no project-manager handoff.

“A short story…we needed someone who could do an emergency sidewalk repair in center city Philadelphia during the holidays! Impossible? Well, Marcello made it possible. He called back when he said he was going to call back. He showed up exactly when he said he'd show up. He arrived at our center city address, got out of his truck and fixed the problem. He really cared about getting it right. And…all that happened for a reasonable price. Personable, honest, man-of-his word. He's been added to my short list of trusted Philly vendors.”
