    We had an excellent experience working with JR and his team at PCR Construction on a major backyard…read moreproject that included removal and construction of a new retaining wall and stairs and replacing our fence on a very steep hillside backyard in SF. From the beginning, JR was responsive and transparent. His quote was clear and fair, and we were very happy with his communication throughout the project. His crew was equally impressive: respectful, efficient, and professional, and they cleaned up the site every single day. We were working under a tight timeline, and PCR completed the job perfectly on time, which feels incredibly rare these days, especially considering we slightly expanded the scope of the fence project mid-way through. What really set them apart was how thoughtful and empathetic they were, taking care to work around an old, special tree to make sure it stayed healthy, and going above and beyond on small details like using extra wood and concrete to patch areas that needed it around the yard. One note though: if there are any plants you want to preserve, make sure to point them out so they know to work around them. Luckily I wasn't attached to any of my plants (except the tree) since many of them were destroyed this process. We were also very impressed with how the team handled feedback. When we weren't fully happy with the first set of stairs that were poured, they redid them in a day and the final result turned out great. The retaining wall and stairs look fantastic, and the new fence is beautifully done and clearly built to last for many years. Overall, this was a smooth, stress-free experience with a contractor who clearly takes pride in his work and stands by it. We would absolutely recommend JR and PCR Construction and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

    Before choosing PCR Demo & Services, we went through 8 different bids. We really took our time to…read moreunderstand each one, looking at pricing, the process, timelines, and scope. We had a lot of work to do, and even though some landscapers came in with lower prices, they did not give us the confidence that they truly understood the project. We ended up choosing JR because he clearly knew what he was talking about and had real experience with full landscaping projects. Our project was a big one. We needed a structured retaining wall for our backyard terrace, a full redo of our front yard with artificial grass, and new concrete work in front of our garage. Throughout the entire process, JR and his team were professional, respectful, and easy to communicate with. They kept us updated, asked for our input, and made us feel like we were working together instead of just handing off a job. We have worked with contractors in the past who did not offer any guidance at all, and we later paid the price for those mistakes. JR and his team took care of our home like it was their own, always covering areas to prevent damage or dirt. That alone already set them apart from many others we have worked with. JR also took the time to share his thoughts on what would look best and what would be the most structurally sound. He never pushed us in any direction. He simply shared what he has seen work well over the years, and we honestly appreciated that. Most of the time, we ended up taking his advice because we knew it came from real experience. Another thing we were grateful for is how open he was to fixing or tweaking anything once a section was done. There was never any hesitation. It gave us a lot of trust in the whole process. I strongly recommend PCR Demo & Services to anyone looking for real expertise, solid craftsmanship, and a team that genuinely cares about the quality of their work. We are very happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely work with them again.

    I don't write many reviews anymore, and honestly, I haven't had many contractor experiences that…read morewould motivate me to change that. But Lassiter Excavation was so good that I couldn't continue to be lazy.  For context, I was replacing an old 35,000-gallon swimming pool with a skinnier lap pool. Lassiter started by completely removing the massive 1975 pool, including every scrap of concrete and piping.  Then they backfilled and compacted. Working to my soils engineer's specifications, they imported and compacted 18 truckloads of quarry fines in carefully controlled 8-inch lifts through the full 12-foot depth of the deep end, all the way to finished grade. They used multiple pieces of equipment, including jumping jacks, a Bobcat, and a vibratory sheepsfoot roller (which I had to look up), and they coordinated compaction testing throughout the process.  When they were done, it looked like a pool had never been there. The site was fully prepared for the new excavation, which Lassiter then completed flawlessly.  I measured their forms with a laser level and laser tape measure, and length, width, diagonals, position and elevations were all within 1/8 inch. That's impressive considering the new lap pool is nearly 60 feet long. When they were finished digging, the walls and floor were razor straight and right on their marks. The crews were outstanding -- friendly, hardworking, detail-oriented, and consistently professional. They maintained an exceptionally clean jobsite throughout the project and even helped me reclaim some old redwood decking.  Special thanks to Santana, Ricardo, Daniel, Jose and team for answering all my questions and caring so much about the end result. If you're considering any excavation work, I highly recommend reaching out to Lassiter Excavation and talking with Bob. They exceeded my expectations in every respect.

    Lassiter Excavating did an excellent job removing my family's pool last week. We chose them based…read moreon a neighbor's recommendation, and we couldn't be happier with the end result. They finished on time and on budget, and handled the permitting so we didn't have to worry about any of the details. The gentlemen on the crew were really nice (SUPER hardworking) and did a great job communicating everything we needed to know, which was much appreciated. Can't recommend them highly enough!

    Incredible plumber. We just moved into a fixer-upper and there were multiple leaks we had to take…read morecare of. We evaluated around 6-7 companies, and off the recommendation of a neighbor we had Letts come out. I was a bit hesitant because you are charged for a minimum of an hour, there is no free estimate. However, in that time he shored up a leak with a temporary patch and had an estimate of how much work it would be to take care of everything, which ended up being much more reasonable than some other places we evaluated. Adam came back when he had enough open schedule to fix everything and some parts were shipped in. An incredibly nice guy, and just an incredibly fair and integrity oriented operation. All the vendors I evaluated were five stars with many reviews, but Letts was the only one that didn't feel like I was being upsold and he was just out there to help me solve my problems. Honestly can't wait to hire them again, which is an absurd thing to say about a plumber, but man what a great experience. I will rave about them to anyone who will listen.

    We continue to rely on Letts Plumbing for our various needs. They installed a water cutoff valve…read morefor a refrigerator water line (whoever did the initial install didnt put one in!). They most recently removed an old water softener and installed new copper piping where the softener connections were. Oddly, the tech charged us for new copper while keeping the copper sections he removed, saying he was adding it to their collection. I get not being able to reuse the sections connected to the old valves but there was some that could have been reused, or left for our recycling. Not a huge deal, just seemed odd that he mentioned keeping it for their future use. We'll still use Letts and recommend them to friends. They're very prompt. The work is done well. And the job sites are left clean.
