This business is a total scam. I came across Kaliopasi Naa from my neighbor who by they way he also cheated out. At time of contract Kaliopasi gave me a total of $ 7000 for repaving a driveway and replacing a wooden fence with a cider blocks. At the beginning I gave Kaliopasi enough to cover materials an beginning labor. Half way through the fence, Kaliopasi asked for an advance because the $2000 I originally gave him wasn't enough. I hesitantly gave the man another $3000. Once Kaliopasi's worker (because he doesn't actually do the labor) finished the cider block wall, he stated he miscalculated the total work which needed to be done and requested I pay... read full review

He should be black-listed. If you are looking for Ben to finish your work or need him to refund the extra money he charged you, you need to know his real business address. Ben's real last name is Makaafi. He uses his home address as business address. He did live at 142 E. Norton St in Long Beach but now his business address is 2907 E 56th Way, Long Beach, CA 90805. Yelp does list the actual phone number to contact him. He has his daughter answers his phone. He is indeed a con-artist. He will promise everything you asked for but will get out of what he will do. Before he gets the business, he talks about how God has blessed him, blah blah blah. and how all his customers... read full review

I called this number and Kaliopasi Naa answered the message. This is not Ben's Concrete. This guy is a con artist and took my deposit ( a lot more than 10%) and even though he did very little work, he kept asking for more money. I did not and would not advance him any more money and I was left with a hole in the ground and a hole in my pocket. Not trustworthy at all. If you do business with this man he will rip you off. I've called and left several messages but NO BEN HAS EVER RESPONDED...or any one else for that matter. Beware of Kaliopasi Naa. Ben contacted me and said he has no knowledge of Kaliopasi Naa. That's an outright lie, his wife's madin... read full review
