David has also been great at following up with any minor problems and has taken care of everything. If you need a company to create your dream pool and backyard Outdoor Pros is it!

When I first began my search for someone to redo my fence, I went through about eight bids. From my…read moreinitial conversation with Steve, he immediately put me at ease with how he planned to handle the project. I wasn't completely sure about the fencing style I wanted, and I didn't know if they had much experience with that specific look. Steve was on top of everything, he even helped me decide on the right type of wood. We ultimately went with Batu, which is a dense, durable hardwood often used for decking, and I think it was the best choice. There were a few minor hiccups along the way, mainly due to some issues with the existing wall and how it was installed. My gate also isn't opening very well or impossible at times due to weather, but overall, the craftsmanship and quality are solid. I still need to seal the wood, but it's holding up really well. I wanted the color to mellow a bit before applying the sealant anyway. All in all, I'd definitely use this company again. I'm really happy with how the fence turned out and excited to see how it holds up over the years. Steve went above and beyond to make sure everything was done the way I wanted. I'm very grateful and appreciative. I know this review is long overdue--but better late than never!

Throughout the process from design to finished product Steve was in constant communication, asking for our input to ensure that our vision was executed perfectly. Steve made a point to regularly check in with the crew, which was especially important because the job was complex including the removal of a very large tree and navigating complicated terrain. He was additionally very transparent with cost which was refreshing. Lastly, the crew was very professional and courteous throughout which was a priority for us in maintaining our relationships with our neighbors. We are extremely happy with the finished product and could not recommend Steve and the Moda team more highly. We definitely plan to work with them again for projects in the future!

With a lot of contractors, there would be a light of hands on management in the day to day but with MG Contruction, they ran the whole operations seaminglessly while keeping me up to date on the progress. Having been busy at work, they save me a lot of my time and hassle from having to spend too much time reviewing this project. They are well organized and Michael definitely has been doing this for a long time. The pricing for his company is more than fair for the high quality of work. Both James and Max were great when I reached out with questions, they were very responsive. A big thank you to his awesome team who helped build the deck and showed up everyday with a smile. One of the reason why I went with MG Construction was because Michael's eagle eye was able to notice certain detail of the job that that the other contractors who provided bids overlooked. I rarely provide reviews for company but MG Construction certainly deserves this one. I will definitely use this company for my future landscape projects.

Honest, Fair, and a Great Partner for our Home Projects…read more We interviewed multiple contractors for our home project--some we found on Yelp and Google and others recommended by friends--but we ended up going with Danny at My Cali Builders, and we are so glad we did. We ultimately chose Danny based on his fairness, congeniality, and his excellent reviews. From day one, his directness and transparency stood out. He really took the time to work with us to understand our concepts, designs, and specific needs. Beyond just executing the work, he acted as a true advisor, helping us understand what was possible (and what wasn't) and advising us on how to smartly phase our projects. It has been great working with him so far. If you are looking for home projects, I highly recommend including Danny and My Cali Builders in your search options--even if you are interviewing several possibilities, you definitely want to talk to him!

It has taken me MONTHS to write this, but I was waiting for our full yard and pool area to be…read morecompleted and here we are. We got quotes from several pool remodeling companies and Smart Swim came in right in the middle. We are strong believers on "you get what you pay for," and opted to go with them even though they were not the cheapest. From beginning to end, the guys at Smart Swim were easy to work with and truly wanted our project to come out great. After 30 years, it was time for our pool to have a remodel! Through the remodel, it was uncovered that we had many severe leaks, down to the rebar that needed to be fixed in some areas. Sam was great at making sure we understood the severity and that we were okay with any new costs that needed to be added. Not only did they do our pool, but also installed turf by the pool area and put pavers all around the pool and yard area. We also got the new gray gate installed from them as well, to replace the wooden fence in the yard (between the pool). **Noting that the perimeter wall/wooden top was painted black and sanded/stained by a different company. We truly appreciate their hard work and even when we had an immediate death in the family during their time working on our project, they were very respectful and gave us some space as needed.

Freddy spent the time to walk me through every plant I had, explaining how to care for them, what to expect as they grow, and what potential issues I should keep in mind. When I asked about ficus trees for privacy, he immediately educated me about their invasive roots, how they can affect pipes and foundations, and what steps homeowners need to take to avoid future damage. Instead of letting me make an expensive mistake, Freddy suggested better, safer options for privacy that look amazing. If you want someone who actually cares about your home, your investment, and the long-term health of your landscape, Freddy is the one to hire. I wish I found him sooner.

WORST COMPANY you could ever hope to find. If there were a reality show for the most incompetent…read moreconstruction company with the lowest ethical business practices, Vitoli would win by a landslide. Speaking of landslides, the infinity spa they built on our hill was done incorrectly so needs to be rebuilt so as to not send chlorinated water rushing down the mountain with each use. For now, we have to limit to two people despite its 10 person capacity. Yeah, and that's just the beginning. We had a $220,000 budget to build a dream yard in an estimated 6 months, but they built all of the retaining walls incorrectly so add an 18-month delay as we sorted out problems with permitting, during which time much of the existing part of the yard was damaged. They forgot to run a water line to the sink and ice maker in the outdoor kitchen rendering them useless, put the incorrectly built walls in the wrong place entirely, built a fence that fell down...for a more complete list please see attached photos. When we hired them, they promised a foreman would be on site at all times but in fact, they had a project manager on site only about 10% of the time and I'm being generous. We loved the workers and I would wake up early each morning to bake breakfast treats and brew coffee for them, however they would often come to us in confusion for direction without a foreman, but we had a language barrier even my best intentions couldn't overcome and grave mistakes were made. Each attempt at demanding said foreman only yielded increasingly angry calls from the owner, who went so far as to call us racists, sometimes with threats of leaving the project or suing us. We paid in full as projects were completed as per our contract, all $220K, but were not refunded for the many parts done incorrectly, and were instead made promises that simply weren't kept. With no less than $50K left to do, we finally kicked them off of our property when they started refusing to complete items -- we simply decided to remove the toxicity from our lives. Particularly evil was their pool equipment installer Bernardo who we caught in multiple lies and who was wont to covering his high level of incompetence by accusing us of "sabotaging our own project." Absolutely ludicrous, yes, but the owner went with it, I suppose it was easier than dealing with more wretched errors on their part. Meanwhile, if there was a corner that could be cut, they found it, and always at our expense. When we first were shut down by the county, I looked here on Yelp and to my dismay, found many negative reviews. They have since disappeared somehow so before writing my review, I reached out to YELP corporate, who assured me mine would remain. As I try to enjoy my unfinished dream yard, it occurs to me that all I can do at this point is protect as many people as I can from falling victim to companies such as Vitoli. Had I been smarter I would have asked for references or gone with a company recommended to me. Beware The Home Mag as they don't vet their advertisers at all, they don't even require proof that photos used are actually work done by said company, they need nothing but the ad copy and money to qualify and so I would argue that the companies that advertise in The Home Mag are ones whose work doesn't merit a good referral and so they advertise instead. Vitoli often graces their cover, which makes sense... The owner promised to fix it all, said he'd take care of us and we believed him to be sincere. But now all I have left is an unfinished yard and no funds to finish it. Shameful, but all true. I believe I know exactly what the response to this review will be, but I will endure it for the sake of helping others. Please note my other reviews, as they are a healthy mix of good and bad -- that is what I understand the purpose of Yelp to be.

I wasted thousands of dollars having them do a terrible job on my pool deck, and had to have Pacific rip out their work and fix it.
