Then they…read morenever came back to clean up, and they literally stole money from us, by accepting a deposit and never delivering the work. I called them hundreds of time, they would always come up with excuses, or not answer simply. They are not to be trusted in any way, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. We are in the process of suing them. I gave them many chances, but they simply ignored me.

This was my first time doing a project of this size for myself. I wanted a 30'x50' metal RV garage built on a concrete slab with an 80' asphalt driveway on my 5 acre property. I contracted for surveying, engineering, geotechnical support, and worked with the county for all permitting. After selecting my metal building contractor, I called Leo's company for an estimate after seeing the many positive reviews he had on Google and Yelp. In the excavating, concrete, and asphalt areas, I had a difficult time finding single contractors that did all three areas. Besides Leo's estimate, I was able to obtain one other. Other contractors would say they worked in all three areas but upon visiting my site, they would say they just did one area but had contacts that could provide estimates in the other areas. Leo's site visit and subsequent interactions put me completely at ease. He had done his homework, deep diving the plans I had sent him. His estimate was in the ballpark of the other and he provided pictures of his other jobs that proved that he had more than enough expertise to complete my project. Over the course of my project, I came to rely upon Leo to help me overcome obstacle after obstacle due to my inexperience working across the trades and with the county. In one example, we had a conference call to talk to the engineer to determine how best to build up the ground to make it level for the slab with a mostly level driveway that would drain properly, and T'd from the original driveway. In another example, I did not find the building permit on the county's electronic system until after the concrete slab had been poured. The first geotechnical report had made "suggestions" that the county made "mandatory" in the building permit, one of which was having a geotechnical expert write an assessment after the forms were constructed and before concrete was poured. I was able to have the geotechnical engineer visit the site and inspect after the fact. Leo made himself available to answer questions and he had pictures of the rebar and forms. A positive report was developed that satisfied the county. Leo told me that he likes jobs that are my size and up to 12 homes at a time so he can be responsive to his commitments. For me, he was on site when he said he would be. The size of his crew was always right for the job at hand and no one was ever not fully engaged. If you have a major self-funded project and are looking for someone you can trust on your team, look no farther than Leo Lopez and Lovaz Excavating LLC.

Akati excelled in all the qualities you would hope for: reliable, easy to work with, and good cost. In addition, there were two areas where he hit it out of the ball park. One is that his communication skills and promptness are impeccible. He returns calls or texts within minutes, he kept me abreast of the projects at all times, and he put everything in writing with price breakdown for the work. The other amazing area is the quality of Akati's work. He consistently surprised me with what a thorough job he did and he was a perfectionist in big aspects and small details. Every single thing he did surpassed my expectations.

When we were ready to move ahead, he scheduled us in the following week. He scheduled several dump loads of rock to be delivered and did a great job with his excavator shaping the terrain and building a better road for us. Akaty is a cool guy and great to work with. We will be working with him again. I highly recommend A-Kat Construction.
