This was the easiest and most painless construction project my husband and I have done! We have a very old house, so we have done a lot of projects! Clay was a pleasure to work with! We did the LA City Sidewalk Rebate Program, and Clay's team really helped us through the process. We just received our check from the City, and I can't believe it was such an easy process. I highly, highly suggest using this group! read more

Update: had a SMALL issue with one section of the sidewalk. Clay was as professional and awesome as the first time I worked with him. He didn't make excuses or ignore my concern. Clay responded quickly and graciously fixed the issue with no pushback. Thank you Clay and team! read more

I found Aaxis and after A LOT of trial and error with construction companies. I reached out to a total of 4 different companies to replace a sidewalk and path to the house and none of the other 4 came through with even a quote. Some didn't get back, those that did warned me about permits (which I already had) and working with the city. I was undertaking the work at my own cost and to be honest there was nothing taxing about getting a sidewalk repair permit or a tree prune permit. I mean if you're going to pay for work the city should be doing - they practically throw those things at you. The other contractors literally turned down the opportunity, or said they'd get back to me. Aaxis was the only business that called me after my enquiry - right away. My initial conversation with Clay was excellent. He's knowledgeable, smart, likeable and warm, and importantly was incredibly comfortable with doing a 'city' job that would require a number of inspections. Clay and his team committed to a date and did a superb job. They are incredibly effective, efficient and work with a great deal of precision. I'm a detailed person, and so was that team. The work was meticulous! But not only was the work great, the reliability, timings, knowledge and keeping us informed and in the loop when necessary. They even adapted to additional changes that I requested on the day - like knocking down a step and reforming it. Nothing was met with resistance and everything was doable. I CANNOT recommend Aaxis Construction highly enough. I'd use these guys again in a heartbeat! read more

Clay was a pleasure to with. We qualified for the LA City Sidewalk Repair Rebate program & he walked us through the entire process. He's very knowledgeable as he's done over 300 of these projects over the last few years. The new sidewalk & driveway apron look great! I've had neighbors come over to tell me how impressed they were with the quality of the work done & ask for Clay's contact info. For sure I am sharing it as good quality contractors seem to be hard to find these days. His crew are a bunch of kind, hard working professionals as well. read more

If this five-star review is too long for you to bother reading, here's the high-level: *Clay Reed, owner of Aaxis Construction (two "A"s--not Axis) is professional, intelligent, considerate, communicates like a boss, and does excellent work. *Job: sidewalk replacement using city rebate. *Would I work with him again? Absolutely. *Would I recommend him to others: Definitely. I worked with Aaxis Construction and owner Clay Reed (not to be confused with "Axis" Construction) about two years ago when we took advantage of a city rebate to have our front sidewalk replaced. Utilizing the city rebate meant we needed to use a contractor from a list provided by the city. I contacted about four contractors from the list to see how they responded and came across. I either got no response or non-helpful voice mail messages which sounded like they were left in a hurry. I tried to verify one contractor's license and went down a rabbit hole of different business names and expired previous licenses which I never was able to make sense of. Finally I was able to extract from this din a quote. It seemed low for replacing a sidewalk. It made me nervous. And this was the same contractor whose info I had trouble verifying. And then I got this amazing email from Clay Reed. It was clearly written and conveyed a sense of Clay's professionalism and he sounded unhurried and interested in the work. I pounced. It was too good to be true. Clay sent me his quote and it was higher than the other quote. I emailed Clay and told him about the other quote and asked him why he thought their's was so low. He responded, completely undefensively, and gave me a list of what I thought were pretty sound reasons why their quote might be low: they may not really be licensed and bonded; they may be using workers they're not paying decent wages to; etc. Clay said he could come out and have a look at the sidewalk and meet me. I agreed. When he showed up, promptly, I thought what a nice man. He wasn't pushy, he wasn't silent, he wasn't gruff, he wasn't trying to give me a hard sell. He projected confidence and sanity. (If you've worked with contractors before, I don't need to explain about sanity.) He said it looked like a pretty clean job and that he should be able to do it in a matter of days. I realized I needed to tell Clay upfront about... The neighbor. One of our neighbors is intensely territorial and protective of his property and family. We'd had some unfortunate encounters with his difficulty when we'd cleared overgrown plants in our back yard and then we experienced his rage when we had DWP come out to clear vines from the electric pole behind both our properties. By the time I met Clay, I think the last thing I had said to this neighbor and his wife was that if he ever came onto our property again or raised his voice at us, I was calling the police. I gave a rundown of this to Clay. Clay was unfazed. Other contractors have just said, "well, let's hope we don't do anything to make him mad." Or, "oh, nothing we're doing here will affect him." Neither of which is very reassuring, since the neighbor has always made it his business to at some point bully contractors at the house. Here is what Clay's response was: "No problem. I know how that can be. Here's what I'll do: I'll write a letter explaining exactly what we're doing, when we're doing it, and how long it will take, and I'll put all my info and say please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns--and then I'll slip it under the door or put it in the mailbox of ALL your neighbors." And that's what he did. And of course that neighbor called him immediately and Clay said they had a 15-minute conversation. 15 minutes!! That's what the neighbor is like. Obviously I hired Clay. Clay put absolutely everything he would do and how long it would take in writing, which was extremely helpful, and everything that happened after that matched up with what he said, including the required city inspections. He didn't leave a mess. He left everything as he found it. He took any leftover materials with him. And he was incredibly careful with my plants. Which I'm pretty touchy about. I only wish some of the people I work with at my job were this good at communicating clearly. We had our garage converted to a living space (called an ADU -- accessory dwelling unit) last year. Pretty much the whole time--even though the contractor we went with was a nice guy and did a good job--I wished Clay was doing it. That's Clay's one and only flaw as a contractor, in my opinion: he doesn't do residential. Please hire Clay if you have the opportunity to and please do not get his business name, Aaxis Construction, mixed up with the other business called Axis Construction. Thank you for reading all the way to the end. read more

The City of LA was giving rebates to homeowners who repaired the sidewalks in front of their house. During the process, the city recommended a group of contractors and Aaxis was one of the names on the list. I reached out to every name on the list and Clay at Aaxis responded first. And from the beginning, Clay was kind and helpful. He walked me through his process and even the city's process for the rebate program, something the city didn't even do. Not only was Clay the first to respond, but he was also one of only two companies to respond and his pricing is much better. The entire process went off just as Clay described in our first meeting. The only hitch was that rain delayed the start. Which is obviously not his fault. Clay's foreman Leo was also very friendly and a pleasure to work with. They both answered my questions with kindness and respect, even though I know many of them were probably dumb. One of the sweetest things they did was offer to pour another square when it looked like my daughter wasn't going to be home before the concrete dried. They knew how badly we wanted to put her handprint in the cement. But we made it in time. I can't recommend Clay, Leo and the rest of the Aaxis team. Our sidewalks are amazing. read more

I don't usually write reviews but Clay and his team are so outstanding, they deserve one. We were repairing our sidewalk through the city rebate program and the city provided us with a list of approved contractors. I called several and never heard back or got the run around. It was a tedious task. And then I called Clay at Aaxis. From the start, he was helpful, responsive, reasonable and nice. I couldn't believe the difference once I spoke to Clay. He was unlike any other. He made the whole process easy and enjoyable. We've also been doing major construction on our entire house and worked with many different vendors/contractors. Clay and his team stand out from all of them. They are simply the best. When we've needed other referrals, we've asked Aaxis because we trust them and feel they are second to none when it comes to professionalism and quality. Our sidewalk looks absolutely beautiful and they did an outstanding job. We'd give them 10 stars if we could! We wish he did more things because we always want to hire him for other construction jobs that we have! read more

I found Clay Reed from Aaxis Construction/Stellar Sidewalks through the the list of contractors for the Sidewalk Rebate Program. He was very responsive and knowledgeable and provided a very detailed quote of the project. He walked me through the whole process of the rebate program, step-by-step. My usual fear with contractors is the unexpected charges in the middle of construction--but that was NOT the case for Clay. Everything was laid out for us in the beginning and we knew exactly how much the whole project was. I had a couple of specific requests related to the project and HE MADE EVERYTHING HAPPEN! He would also give me updates during construction so we knew what the expectations were each day. Overall, this experience was beyond our expectations and we are very happy with the end result. Thank you Clay and team! read more

I unequivocally recommend this company for as long as Clay is the project leader; smart, articulate and patient enough to navigate LA's change-as-you-go rules. I learned that each inspector has his own focal point, and that Clay knew how to resolve the evolving benchmarks of the permit process needed to get the subsidy. He also had the required patience to explain all parts of the job to a novice: me. The work got done as promised -- on budget and on time, which made the owners and the tenants happier than expected. They kept the site clean and orderly, and left it that way when the project ended. I learned of Aaxis only because it was on the city's approved-vendor list. It was simply my good fortune that I went down the list alphabetically. You'll be in good hands with Clay and Aaxis. read more

We needed Aaxis Construction since our sidewalk and driveway were in disrepair. I had been prolonging getting it done, and when I saw the final job I wondered why it took so long. The team was very professional and we were guided every step of the way. The job turned out gorgeous and so grateful for the excellent job. read more

We needed to replace our sidewalk in front of our house. Clay and his crew were professional, accommodating, friendly, provided excellent workmanship and were very affordable. I can and have highly recommended them to my neighbors. I am happy to report that they too hired Aaxis to do the sidewalk in front of their house. Clay was a pleasure to do business with. read more

Clay and his crew are the best! We applied for the city sidewalk rebate and the Aaxis name was on their list of recommended contractors. Clay responded quickly and professionally. All of the crew were helpful and friendly, plus hardworking. The job was completed quickly. Clay took care of contacting city inspectors and made sure everything was done to their standards. I really appreciated their great work ethic and friendly attitudes. I would hire them again in a minute! read more

I would highly recommend Aaxis Construction based on my experience with Clay and his crew replacing my sidewalk and curb. In fact, after five years of home ownership, Aaxis is the only contractor I have used that I would recommend for anything. Clay was able to help us navigate through the Los Angeles sidewalk rebate program (which seems as if it were designed to simply frustrate home-owners.) He was able to cut through all the stumbling blocks the city threw our way and complete the project as scheduled. All communication with him was clear, friendly, and timely (seems rare to even get two out of three of those with most contractors). Thanks again for the beautiful work! read more

Clay with Aaxis Construction/Stellar Sidewalks did an amazing job for me and everything he told me would happen happened step by step from the very beginning. No surprises or extra fees, etc. My mess of a sidewalk turned out amazing! My car no longer scrapes every time I pull into my driveway. I am so pleased with the work they did and would highly recommend them to anyone. Clay is a very nice guy and a pleasure to work with! read more

We found Aaxis Construction through the contractor list provided by the City of LA for the LA Sidewalk Rebate Program and we cannot speak more highly of Clay and his entire team. Clay promptly responded to our email and arranged a time to look at the site to provide an estimate rather than merely doubling the rebate amount. We had a bit of a complicated situation as our driveway curb cut is sandwiched between a palm tree and a fire hydrant, but all in all it only took about two weeks from our initial meeting with Clay to having a finished sidewalk signed off by the City of LA! The sidewalk looks beautiful, and the entire front yard was put back in position like nothing ever happened. In addition to the sidewalk work Aaxis was able to help with the removal of AstroTurf, gravel, and weed cloth in our backyard - made easier by the fact that they would already have the demolition equipment on site. They were able to carefully squeeze a Bobcat between our garage and newly planted backyard garden to remove the AstroTurf, without harming any of the plants which was a feat unto itself. In addition, we should mention that the entire team at Aaxis was super respectful of our home and personal space. They always wore a mask and maintained the appropriate distance considering that we are in the midst of Covid-19. When we ever get around to removing all of the AstroTurf in the front yard (it's everywhere....) we will be sure to contact Aaxis first. We feel fortunate to have met Clay and his team - their diligence and positive attitudes made this a remarkably easy construction experience. Thanks again for all of your hard work - it looks fantastic!! read more

We used Clay and his team to do our sidewalk replacement work. They coordinated well with us, our landscape team and the city. They were very responsive and flexible and there were no cost surprises. The crew was very friendly and respectful. We appreciate Aaxis! read more

I highly recommend Aaxis Construction!! Clay and his team were professional, meticulous, dependable, easy to work with, responsive and kept communication going throughout the project. I found Aaxis Construction through the city's list of contractors for the sidewalk rebate program and went with them after collecting 2 other bids. I decided to also re-do my front yard at the same time, and I appreciated Clay's willingness to work with me as I considered various layout options and coordinating subcontractors to handle all the other aspects of the landscaping and lighting. He and his team are trustworthy and do high quality work. I've had so many compliments from neighbors and visitors on how great it all looks! read more

Don't confuse this company with Axis construction. AAxis just finished the driveways and sidewalks for us and the neighbors on either sIde, and they did an excellent job.. They were very easy to work with, and everyone on the crew was able to communicate well when we had questions or requests. They worked long hours and kept up with the schedule that they gave us at the start of the project. We recommend them very highly. They are all very nice guys, as well. read more

What a joy to work with Aaxis construction. From the minute I phoned for information on sidewalk repair, I knew I was dealing with outstanding professional. What initially seemed like a series of hoops to jump through in dealing with City of Los Angeles side walk rebate program turned out to be a seamless experience with Clay Reed. His thoughtful and most helpful responses to my many questions provided clarification and made for a positive and quickly accomplished project. The city provides a list of providers to call. They are not recommended just a list to be consider. Aaxis snd Clay represented the only company that actually called back AND provided accurate information and tips gOr getting the rebate. This is all to say you will be in great hands with Aaxis for any needs you have. If only every interaction in getting renovations done could be this terrific. Everything promised was delivered with even an earlier timetable finish with a new wonderful and fine end product- love the new day as safe and level sidewalk. Thank you so much Clay /Aaxis. read more
