From tricky issues like what to do with our water heater to some unexpected stucco challenges, Miguel came up with solutions that were both practical and innovative. Beyond his skills, Miguel is just a genuinely great guy. At one point, he paused our meeting to take a call from his five-year-old on an Apple Watch (rad dad moment!). Great value for the quote he gave us too. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

They were professional, hardworking, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire process. The team maintained a clean and organized job site and executed the work with great attention to detail.

We highly recommend Jonathan Almagor of Mayan Home Builders (license #1107341), and his outstanding…read moreteams of workers who recently completed a remodeling project for us that included 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, an upgraded electrical panel and exterior stucco. We were highly impressed by Jonathan's dedication to providing an excellent final result, his responsiveness and availability and his efforts to try to keep costs down for us during this period of inflation. He is a person of integrity who takes pride in standing behind the work of his company, which matters a lot when dealing with all the moving pieces of permits, construction schedules, materials and inspections. We appreciated his good nature and patience when waiting for inspectors to arrive for inspections, his flexibility in scheduling meetings with us, as well as his knowledge, explanations and thoughtful design suggestions. We extend our thanks to Jonathan and his great workers for the excellent end result of our project and in addition to Jonathan, who oversaw everything, wish to extend special thanks to Chico, his foreman, Liliana, who ordered materials, and master painters, Oscar and Tony.

We had this builder come to our home on a Sunday to provide a bid. During the visit, he clearly…read moretold us we would receive the estimate by Thursday. Unfortunately, we never received anything , not even a follow-up message or explanation. We specifically reached out to him because of his excellent reviews, so this experience was surprising and disappointing. Even if he decided not to take on our project, a simple update or courtesy message would have shown professionalism. Personally for me not following through on a clear commitment and not communicating at all reflects poor work ethic and reliability. Based on this experience, I would not recommend their services.

My wife and I recently bought a fixer-upper house to call our forever home, and we quickly realized…read morethat the shared wood fence along our property line had been neglected for decades. After looking into replacement options such as wood and vinyl, we decided to invest in a slumpstone wall for its lack of maintenance required and longevity. After consulting with several local masonry contractors, we chose CPF Masonry and it was a great decision! We valued Pat's extensive knowledge of the requirements for a structural wall and their pricing was highly competitive. Pat also demonstrated extreme patience with us during a lengthy pre-construction phase as we were dealing with a difficult neighbor for the project. CPF Masonry managed the entire project from start to finish: tearing down and hauling away the old wooden fence, building the new stone wall, and helping with the cleanup afterwards. The final product looks absolutely phenomenal and completely transformed the aesthetic of our backyard. If you are looking for an honest, highly skilled, and completely reliable masonry team in the Thousand Oaks and Ventura County area, I cannot recommend Pat and the CPF Masonry crew enough!

We love CPF and are always thinking of the next project for them!

A few hiccups along the way with the final permit but Sam acknowledged the mistake on his end and said he would sign off the edits in the revision phase of construction. I will give an updated review once that time comes. Quality: quality of work was good. Efficient in communication and dealing with a difficult city in a permitting process. Took about 6 months for the permits and the city kicked back for corrections 2x which is pretty standard. Value: felt his pricing was fair and reasonable Customer service: always responds to phone calls. Even after our final payment when we had questions or needed assistance. So not a "take your money" and we are done type of guy Overall impression: would use him in the future for any architectural or structural engineering jobs
