Rick Mariano - Owner & Operator at Gem Concrete Construction
About Rick Mariano
Hello! I’m Rick Mariano, owner and operator of GEM Concrete Construction in London, Ontario. For over 25 years, I’ve built my reputation on delivering unbeatable reliability, integrity, and quality in every concrete project I undertake.
My Story
I founded GEM Concrete Construction on one simple promise: to treat every job as if it were part of my own home. From residential driveways and patios to commercial curbs, sidewalks and foundations, my goal has always been the same – get it right the first time and leave every customer 100% satisfied.
I’ve spent decades sourcing the best materials and refining my techniques so that I can confidently stand behind every pour, every finish, and every detail. Whether I’m hand-troweling a decorative patio or overseeing a pool installation, I bring the same meticulous attention to quality and timelines.
Why I Do It
Concrete is more than just cement and aggregate, it’s the backbone of your property. I understand that my work becomes a permanent part of your home or business, and I take that responsibility seriously. That’s why I:
Never cut corners: I insist on premium materials and proven methods.
Communicate clearly: I walk you through the scope, timeline, and process before we start.
Respect your space: I keep your site tidy, and I address any concerns immediately.
My Team & Affiliations
While I personally lead every project, I couldn’t do it without my skilled crew. Every member of my team shares my commitment to courteous, knowledgeable service, ensuring you always know what to expect.
I’m also proud to be a member of the Better Business Bureau, which underscores my dedication to ethical business practices and customer satisfaction.
