Unfortunately we were on our own as the sales team was in Seattle. We had several bids for the pad but Antonio was an active listener and he realized we were unsure of how we wanted to proceed. He drafted a plan for us which allowed us to visualize the project. Then he amended the plan as we (of course) had other issues come up. The project he designed and his team installed is beautiful. We not only have a perfectly level pad for our swim spa, we have a lovely patio with stairs down from the spa area. It's so pretty we hate to cover it with the Spa! His team was friendly and respectful of the fact we were working from home. Antonio was also very helpful when we needed to coordinate with an electician. 100% a professional and a team player. Great communication start to finish.

I requested Juan to come around 8:00 or 8:30am to start the project early and Juan showed up at around 8:15am. Juan completed my concrete step in 2-3 hours, and it looked great. I am very pleased with the work that Juan and his co-worker accomplished. They were professional, on time, and produced a quality product. I would definitely recommend Maxteca Concrete to anyone. Thanks Maxteca Concrete!

After a local fence company abandoned my backyard fence installation (having only put up three…read moreposts), I called Rustic Toscana to see about taking over the project. Desantiel, the company owner, was super responsive and created a new plan for the fence. He was meticulous about selecting the best materials and consulted with me throughout the installation to ensure that I was happy with the design. With his vision and skill, he was able to take my distressing project and turn it into the beautiful backyard fence I was hoping for. After this experience, I highly recommend Rustic Toscana and have already engaged them to do the stone work for my patio and new retaining walls.

Pricing was reasonable and I bought the bluestone separately from a local supply company at cost, so just labor, sand, gravel and other materials. The project started the following Monday and Desantiel and team were done after 3 days. They picked up the stone on my behalf, so no additional delivery fees. During the entire project they worked diligently and asked a few questions to be sure everything was done to expectations. They worked full days with some rain while lifting 90 lb stones! Great communication and a friendly, professional interaction the whole time. Desantiel and his crew did an amazing extension of our back patio and now we are ready to add seating and a fire pit for the summers to come! Thank you for everything.

We had refinished our basement in 2008, then, unfortunately had water in the basement that did…read moredamage. I shopped around and got different opinions and widely different estimates. Excavators NW used a simple inexpensive fix and since then my basement has been dry. We had been quoted by others nearly 10 times what Excavators NW charged. Excavators NW had a much better understanding of the drainage and reasons for the flooding. Their repair included partial sewer drain replacement, French drain, and a sump pump, all of which were a lot less costly and made more sense for our 90-year-old Ballard home than what other companies proposed. I found out Excavators NW do a lot of work to keep houses dry since most of their business is lifting houses and putting in new basements. I knew nothing about the process but was curious and the owner was very accommodating in explaining how he keeps his customers basements forever dry. Super knowledgeable and super nice guy too. Highly recommended.

Thanks to his knowledge and wisdom, we had the opportunity to also replace our water line before the concrete was poured, no doubt saving us thousands of dollars and headaches.

From the moment they unloaded their trucks to the very last tool they loaded into their truck at the end of the day, I could tell they knew what they were doing. I have been in construction for more than 35 years. I rarely make recommendations but I highly recommend Padilla Conrete.

Our project was a somewhat complicated one - our backyard has a decent slope and we needed terraces…read morethat would be structurally sound given that our soil is extremely sandy. We needed a patio level, a small garden level, a turf/grass level, and then one last small garden level due to the slope. To maximize space, we wanted the majority of these walls to be near vertical block walls. The work is practically flawless. My father-in-law has a background in construction and even he was awe-inspired by the finished product. I cannot fathom anyone impugning the quality of Tim's work. To top it off, our neighbor's rockery was going to be disturbed by our work, and Tim (with permission from the neighbor) was actually able to help keep some soil erosion from their property at bay as a bonus and make their corner look much nicer. I will say that there was one issue we ran into - due to the odd way in which our side sewer was laid (it's an old house and replacing the entire side sewer would've been prohibitively expensive), we were forced to make non-trivial changes to our initial plan that resulted in some wasted work that Tim had to undo. This caused the project to go over budget and over time. Ultimately, we were able to work out a change order that both of us could agree was fair. The fact that he went long on time didn't particularly bother me - he's essentially a one man crew (with some help from laborers) and does not cut corners. While that may seem odd, the fact of the matter is that he is extraordinarily experienced and I've hired contractors in the past with larger crews that got the work done quickly but with important flaws. If I had to choose between a contractor who finishes exactly on schedule or one who takes longer but is meticulously detailed, it's no competition I want the second one (which is what Tim is).

Great experience working with Tim at Eagle Rock Landscaping…read more He is friendly, professional, communicative and very experienced! Tim walked us through the various options for having a retaining wall given we wanted to preserve a large (30'+ tall tree). He explained all the possibilities with pros & cons as well as conveyed the city's building codes too. He also shared his recommendation for stone selection too. The quote Tim sent us was very reasonable. Tim arranged for the city mark the utility lines and came out a week later to do the work. He finished the job in a day just like he said and the wall was AMAZING. It was more impressive than what we originally thought; he added larger flat rocks to create a "bench" and natural rock path to make it easy to access the slope. Great for sitting and planting flowers and ground cover. Definitely recommend Eagle Rock and would use them again for future projects!

Few contractors are willing to take on an unfinished job someone else has botched, but Paul was "excited by the challenge". We hired him on the spot. The next day, his crew cleared all dirt and debris from the neighbor's yard that contractor #1 left for 6 months while blaming another company. We were so glad to have Paul and his energetic and happy crew go to work! He fully excavated after building a safety wall and mono-poured the entire foundation in one day! Our friends came to admire his work and tell us how good it was. (our friends used to work for the city planning department, so they know what they're talking about!).
