    Side yard

    Carlos as Amazing! Quick and professional estimate, he made adjustment as I requested, (other estimate's wanted 1/2$ up front) Brasmerica only asked for a $1,000 deposit, all estimates were 2-3 weeks but Brasmerica finished in 1 week! The crew was clean, respectful, and professional, most importantly Carlos communicated with me via text or phone call leading up to our agreed start date, and twice a day during construction. As a General Contractor myself, I highly recommend Brasmerica!

    We hired Brasmerica to complete a backyard renovation project that we've been wanting to do for a long time. It included removing 1300 sq ft of concrete, installing Avalon Slate pavers, and building a Bellair seating wall. And, in the middle of the project, we added removing grass and building a Melville retaining wall to the front yard. Everything was completed in 2 weeks, even though we had a rain and equipment delay. You will not find a paver contractor who will give you better quality of work for an excellent value. Carlos is an owner/operator, which means he's going to work with you to make things happen. He's very patient and thorough explaining the details and every step of the project. For me, it's the little things and extras that matter. They don't nickle and dime you for every little thing like the other companies. For example, removing rebar, running conduit, dealing with vegetation, and the list goes on. Carlos checks on his guys and goes over their work daily to make sure its perfect. He didn't think the drainage was sloped enough, so he had them pull up pavers to redo it. Communication is key and he always messaged me back right away or kept me in the loop. His design advice and tips are invaluable. We have spent the last two weeks giving tours for neighbors, and they love our front and backyard. I know for sure we've added $50k plus of equity to our home.

    I'm not one to usually write reviews, positive or negative. However, in the case of Brasmerica, I had to carve out some time to post this. It's not often that you come across a service, that from start to end, reflects what professionalism and quality work should be about. Carlos, Alberto, and the entire crew, from the demolition guys to the installer team, exhibited this, in spades. They were great listeners, answered every question that was thrown to them, shared their opinions (that I often corroborated online as the right call) and worked with you to incorporate the small changes that invariably every project has, without fuss. I can't remember an instance when I didn't receive a response from Carlos, within 2 min of sending a message. Didn't matter what time it was! Best of all, they started within a week of signing, gave me a 3-4 week window to complete the project, and 3.5 weeks in, were done! I never saw their crew slack -- everyone worked as a team, clocked in every day (including Sundays if they thought they were behind), always smiling and friendly. Carlos or Alberto were also constantly checking in, to make sure things were progressing to satisfaction. We interviewed at least 5-6 Paver installers and all of Yelp's top starred Pavers businesses. I'm sure all have earned their stripes (or stars, in this case!). However, Carlos stood out in terms of his authenticity, patience, and genuine care for your needs. He gave you confidence that he knew his trade, and was very knowledgeable. And, most importantly, he was competitively priced, and perhaps the top 2 in terms of pricing our project. I can confidently say choosing Brasmerica for our Pavers project was the best decision we made. I will most definitely be engaging them again for our next projects.

    We completed our driveway pavers with Brasmerica and worked closely with Carlos and his team. They are hard working, easy to communicate with through mostly text through the job, and they are thorough and friendly. We got four other quotes and Carlos gave us the best quote. We're so happy with our driveway it came out beautiful !! One picture attached

    I am so pleased with the job well done , words cannot express the way my driveway looks ! QUALITY + If you are looking to put pavers on your driveway look no further!!!!!! Or a new flagstone or slate walkway... If you want a company to work for you that is courteous , respectful of your ideas , efficient, helpful and True to every word and cost effective, A company that goes above and beyond the expectations on the job they did and finished 5 days sooner than planned! The most beautiful job I have ever seen! Neighborhood People are stopping to look! And complimenting the beauty of the job! Look no further! These guys only do pavers and walkways and retaining walls and more. Master excavators! Specialists in what they do , expertise that you will not pay extra for ! They do it well and they do it right . Carlos is amazing to work with and listens . Leo is great! He Texts back within minutes, with answers to questions snd he picks up the phone when you call. We had other bids by landscapers and general contractors . They were all vague about what they were going to do . They wanted to send me to a place 30 minutes away to see samples . They were not talking about borders, retaining walls or how the pavers were going to be laid or what the exact day by day process was going to be. Brasmerica Did all of that and more. And kept me informed during the process. They were careful about digging because of irrigation system and what broke they replaced . They made sure PG &E marked where gas lines were! And they were gentlemen The first day I had to leave the house after they started digging , when I asked for a little help to navigate piles of dirt and rock , they took me by the hand and helped me across the driveway. Carlos and Leo brought samples of almost all colors snd sizes on day one From the manufacturer that Others were sending me to see. What he did not have on his truck He dropped off at the house in a few days. And left the manufacturers booklet with styles, colors, and gave me the prices of each so I could decide with intelligence snd knowledge! i knew exactly what the plan was before I even got the bid and they followed it to a T! AND They were cost effective! The Tell...contractors snd landscapers wanted to charge the same or more with no knowledge of a plan. Go no where else NO Check out the competition and you will see what I mean. Go with the professional driveway specialists they are. YOU WILL NOT BE UNHAPPY!

    Backyard

    The team of Brasmerica had finished our job two weeks ago. We couldn't be more happier than looking at the beautiful and artistic backyard pavers they have completed. Their communication ability, competent design knowledge, and the craftsmanship quality really impressed us. Carlos returned text messages every time, Alberto designed a beautiful lay out with proper drainages, Jose did such a detailed job which is a piece of art to look at. We are so fortunate to give this job to them. We appreciate their work so much that I feel I owe them this recognition.

    We highly recommend Brasmerica. Excellent work, polite staff, and very professional. Italo was really patient with us and answered our questions. Our backyard looks amazing thanks to them. 10 stars!

    Before: not very usable raised area with lounge chairs and lots of wasted space with bushes and rocks.

    If you are looking for a reputable and caring company to do you paver job, you just found them! Stop looking at multiple companies and dealing with all of the flakes out there and just go with Carlos and Alberto from Brasmerica. We used a different paver company 5 years ago at our old home that we sold and the job turned out good, but there was a lot of stress in the getting to the finish line of the project, with the usual trying to get the project manager to understand what the salesperson had promised, then getting the project manager to actually show up at jobsite so I could show him what needed to be changed, etc. In the end it turned out fine, but you get the picture....lots of stress to get it done the way we wanted it! Now, fast forward 5 years to our new forever home that we moved to and wanted to get pavers done. I make 3 phone calls to get 3 bids. Company 1 comes out in a few days and takes all our measurements, then takes weeks to get an estimate to me. Company 2 was a referral to us, so they come out and take all our measurements and I've never heard from Company 2 again...not one word and the project is now complete! Now enters Company 3 - Carlos from Brasmerica - I called him and he came out the very next day, took all our measurements, and I asked him when I could get an estimate and he said if I had time, he could sit down right now and work up the estimate for me! He gave me 3 books to look through to pick out the style and color of stone we wanted, while he worked up the numbers in about 15 minutes! All that was left for me to do was select the color and stone we wanted. I showed Carlos the 2 stones we were leaning towards and he gave me some addresses of projects he had done that had these colors and materials, so I could drive by and check them out in person. I drove by 3 locations the next day, where I actually met the property owners who were working in their yard and they couldn't stop raving about how great Carlos and everyone on their crews were to work with! I was already feeling the great vibe with Carlos, but their positive feedback about dealing with Brasmerica really sealed the deal for me, so I called Carlos and asked him to stop by and finalize our contract, so I could give him a deposit and get started. From there, I dealt with Marcio and his demo crew, as we had a couple of days of demo work to do. as we were expanding the flat area of our yard, doing some grading and putting a small wall in as a backdrop to the new pavers area that would hold our new hot tub. Everything that I spoke to Marcio about that I wanted to tweak here and there, I was greeted with the same response....no problem, and it got done! Now keep in mind, these weren't things they were doing wrong, it's just as a project of the size of our starts to take shape, you make little tweaks here and there to the design layout....or move a sprinkler head here instead of there...or I decided I wanted a small section to curve Instead of being straight...that type of thing. Now enters the install crew, headed up by Santos. Exact same attitude from everyone on this crew also....no matter what I brought up, the response was always, no problem! And I should mention that Carlos and Alberto were on the job almost everyday to check and see how things were going. Additionally, I had Carlos's cell phone number, so anytime I texted him with a question, he was always quick to respond...every.single.time....no exceptions....even when I got home at 7pm one night and wanted to make a small change to the length of a wall, he picked up the phone, discussed what I wanted to do, I sent him a picture showing my idea....and he communicated it to Santos that night, so when he showed up the next morning and I went to make sure he knew of the change, he was already working on it! Bottom line...everyone at Brasmerica is cut from a different cloth than most contractors in business today. These guys genuinely care about the quality of their work...and want to make sure that you are happy! I've been a homeowner for 35 years and dealt with a LOT of various contractors in that time....and I can promise you won't find any as good at their craft as these guys....and that they are nice to deal with also, is just icing on the cake! We've already got another paver project in mind for the front yard that I'm looking forward to doing with these guys next year! I'll post some pictures of this project that we just finished, showing some before, during and after pictures, so you can appreciate the quality of the work they do! Stop searching and just call Carlos; you'll be glad you did...promise!

    After doing some research on the pavers installation, we decided to call Brasmerica for our backyard project. Carlos and Leo came to our house and spent almost 3 hours to walk us through all the details and showed us different paver catalogs, samples and colors to choose from. Carlos and Leo are very knowledgable, patient, honest and easy to deal with. They did a very fantastic job from the demolition of old backyard to installation of new pavers, additional drains and free sitting wall within 3 days. Brasmerica has very professional, skillful and charming teams. We're very pleased with our new backyard. The price is reasonable with high quality work. We would absolutely recommend Brasmerica to anyone interested.

    Carlos and Leo are great to work with! They installed a new 600 sq ft patio for us in the first week of January. Carlos has great communication skills- he always responded to my texts within a few minutes, and was patient and helpful. He's easy-going and flexible. He brought us numerous paver and color samples and gave us great advice. We chose the Belgard large Catalina Grana pavers in the Bella color. With their Dec/Jan discount, their price was lower than all the other company bids, and they use the same materials and techniques as the other companies. The demolition team was on time and made quick work of our existing yard. They were able to fit their mini-bobcat through our gate and down our narrow side path, taking care not to damage anything. By the end of the day they had filled the dump truck twice over, leveled out the yard, and laid down geotex fabric and crushed rock. Then on day 2, Leo and his team followed up with installing drain pipe, capping and re-routing sprinkler pipe, then grading and laying down sand. On a very long day 3, they started by finishing the sand, and compacting, then cutting and laying the pavers. Then the concrete edge-footing and border stones. Finally they filled the seams with polymeric super sand, compacted again, and watered it down to activate the glue in the sand. We had to wait on a few cold wet weather days before doing the final sealer. On the next warm sunny day, Leo and Carlos returned to apply the Glaze N Seal. We chose the Natural look, which really enhanced the color, without looking too shiny. Leo is a fine craftsman who clearly has extensive experience installing pavers. He was decisive and meticulous. He had to cut some tricky curves to work around the existing patio shape, and the results are impressive. The joints between pavers are narrow and consistent throughout. The grading and drainage all appears to be perfect- we've had several big rain storms since January, and we haven't had any puddles or or other issues. They left us a bunch of extra pavers and a bag of super-sand, just in case we ever need them. We love our new patio! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this team. Thanks Brasmerica! I uploaded a series of photos showing the process from start to finish: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/brasmerica-paver-systems-pinole-12?userid=yuG5rM48pkegYtgldMtZxw

    We wanted to cover our previous deck area with pavers. They responded promptly and were able to start working on it within a few days. It took them about a week to finish the job and did a nice pick up and clean up too afterwards. Overall a great experience.

    Met Carlos while he was working on our next door neighbor's yard. I saw their finished product and was really impressed by it. I spoke to Carlos that same day, and was sold. Carlos is professional and very knowledgeable about what he does. He is very easy to get in touch with, and communicates very well about the entire process. Everything was set up so easily and done smoothly. Met him on a Thursday, had the excavation done that following Monday, and had the pavers installed on Friday. If it wasn't for the rain, it could've been done sooner. We're super happy with how our cute little yard turned out and couldn't thank Carlos and his team enough for their job well done.

    So this review is long overdue as my project was in June '19. I selected Brasmerica after having 5 bids from paver companies. They weren't the highest, but they weren't the lowest either, however talking with Carlos and reading the Yelp reviews, I selected them and I'm so glad I did!! I loved how my pavers turned out!!! And I probably may have loved the pavers from one of the other companies, as well.. But I'm sure not as much as Brasmerica! But their customer service was something that I was most impressed with! The best ever and definitely why you should choose them if you want your project to go smoothly! Let's face it... no project goes off without a hitch and you just have to accept that it goes with the territory of any home improvement project. Stuff's gonna happen and it's all in how you work together to get over the hurdles. My project was front and backyard pavers and mowing strip replacements for my modest 6K sf lot. Their crew did an awesome job on the demo and were very conscientious with how they left the job every day. There were a few things that happened along the way (broken sprinkler head, not using the border pavers where we'd discussed, movement of sprinkler system.. etc) that I had to contact the company about. Most of the work was done while I was working full time, so every evening I'd get home, survey the work and then text or call with questions / comments. Carlos was the most responsive person I'd EVER dealt with!! No matter when I texted him, he responded right back! And he was the epitome of respect and easy to deal with all of my questions and concerns and took care of everything immediately to my total satisfaction!! I have recommended Brasmerica to anyone who is considering pavers and totally would use them again and again for any future jobs. Thank you so much for my beautiful pavers and being so easy and actually fun to deal with!! Photos show before and after pics. The pavers were a little wet when I took the photos. One tip i would add is to seal them yourself and save some $. It's really easy to do and the folks at The Brickyard are very helpful at guiding you on product selection and 'how to'.

    Initial meeting was great. Our salesman, Mario, was very friendly and seemingly knowledgeable…read moreciting his 17 years' experience selling Synlawn. He gave some great advice, and, frankly, he is the main reason we went with Synlawn. Installation was quick and done efficiently. Then it all went south! Mario said that it was great for pets, citing drainage and durability. It is not good if you have a puppy, which he knew we had, as puppies love to chew on things and the turf pulls out quite easily. Too, shortly after installation, we thought we had a ripple in the turf possibly due to installation. I contacted Mario and he said he would come by and take a look. We never heard from him again. To be honest, it turned out to be nothing, but, nonetheless, he never reached out again. After a couple of months was saw some discoloration around the fountain. I contacted Billy Bright, and he said it was due to the water from the fountain. He said to try CLR cleaner, which didn't change anything, and then he said to try GooGone, which also didn't work. He said Synlawn was not going to do anything about it, since it was due to the fountain. My point is, since it seems to be a known issue, why wasn't this mentioned at the time of the sale by our salesperson, Mario, with 17 years experience! The fountain has been in place long before the turf sale took place. Seemingly it is always what the salesperson doesn't tell you that comes back to bite you. Needless to say, that in no way can I recommend Synlawn to anyone. I am giving them one star as there is no zero.

    We love our SYNLawn Synblue 745 lawn…read more Billy and Lou went going above and beyond in answering all my questions, coordinating with other warehouses so I could see samples in person while traveling (since they don't have local offices in the Bay Area, only Sacramento), and really diving in deep as I was analyzing every single detail + pros/cons of all the different turf lines as I was making my decision. Everyone was so patient and great. I probably called and talked to them at least 10+ times, Lou even answered my call while on vacation in Mexico! We only bought the turf and infill and used our own contractor to install in Oakland. However, I did about 6-12 months of research and sample gathering across many different turf companies and suppliers (WaterSavers, TigerTurf, SGS in LA, Heavenly Greens, BeeGreen, etc.) and SYNLawn's quality was consistently superior while also providing the most natural look. We also were considering the previous SynBlue 949 (which is no longer being manufactured) as it doesn't seem to require infill and many past customers in our area are extremely happy with it. It's super lush and felt very nice but has more of a yellowish hue when side-by-side with SynBlue 745. We also wanted to compare but weren't able to get a sample of the 545, but ultimately felt good about going with the higher density and face weight of the 745. Unfortunately, Yelp posted my pics in random order but you can see the general before and after. We're so thankful to have a wonderful place space for our kids, and to have found SYNLawn when we did (it was the last turf company I researched after someone recommended them from a neighborhood FB group). OTHER FINALISTS My other finalists were either Dune/Sage from SGS or an unidentified sample from Heavenly Greens. SGS to their credit was honest that those lines were meant for landscaping and may get matted down or have breakage over time with heavy play usage. We didn't enjoy the sales reps from Heavenly Greens and were unfortunately never able to narrow down the name of the sample we liked from them (there were no tags attached). Our neighbors installed Willow from WaterSavers, but it was not as plush or thick underfoot as the SynBlue 745, and not as natural in appearance. Overall, we're thrilled with our decision and hope this long overdue review helps someone else! (Our kids now use the other turf samples as "plates" on the turf when they play "restaurant." :))

The transition between the two areas looks seamless and natural, as if it was all installed at the same time. From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and committed to quality. They went above and beyond my expectations, paying attention to every detail and delivering outstanding workmanship. The finished result looks amazing and has completely transformed the space. If you're looking for a company that takes pride in their work and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend Artificial Turf by Fenix. Thank you for an excellent job!

    We had a small lawn area in our backyard that would not grow grass. One part got very little sun…read moreand the other got too much. We decided to install artificial turf. A neighbor had recommended Fenix. About a year ago a representative came to our house to give an estimate. He brought samples and measured the area and was quite thorough in his explanation and recommendations. We decided on one of the products but had to hold off installation because we were having other work done in the backyard that could have damaged a new turf. Finally the yard was done almost a year later and we contacted Fenix. Their prices had gone up only 10 cents a square foot but they honored our original bid. Installation was scheduled a couple of weeks later. A week before the install we received an email with the site prep, warranty, care instructions, and other useful information. They offer a discount if you pay by cash or check. On installation day they arrived close to 8 a.m. and apologized for being late as it was foggy in Sacramento and dangerous driving. The crew immediately got to work, first capping off the irrigation that watered the former grass lawn and then digging out the dirt and roots. They uncovered a couple of drainage pipes that we weren't aware of and cleaned them out and reset them to be operational under the turf. They accidentally cut some irrigation pipes and quickly repaired them. Once the job was finished they cleaned up our backyard, even on the side of the yard they weren't working in. The new artificial turf looks wonderful. We highly recommend Fenix if you are considering artificial turf for your yard.

    Just amazed at how great a job Eduardo and his crew did for us... couldn't ask for anything more!…read more Right from the beginning, he set himself apart by quickly responding to my inquiry for an estimate - he was friendly, arrived when he said he would, provided ample information and made sure I didn't have any more questions about the process or his very reasonable and fair bid before he left. When work commenced, he was communicative and let me know what to expect along the way, and was true to his word that things would be cleaned up daily (my side yard, through which equipment and product were brought to the back, actually looked far better than it did before work started). As to the final product, my wife and I are thrilled. It looks great, and we (dogs and daughter included) couldn't be happier with it. If you're looking for a turf install, you simply can't go wrong with Eduardo - a stand-up guy who does quality work at a great price. So glad we did this...

I spoke with Eduardo about what we wanted done (updated some of the things we wanted done from last year), and came to an agreement on price pretty easily. He began work the following week, even though I was flexible with timing. Eduardo was a great and personable guy even before making the agreement. His workers were also diligent and the kids like hanging out with them too. Every day was a huge change and all of us are very happy with the end result. A simple, beautiful, no maintenance backyard is just what we wanted, and thanks to Eduardo and his guys, is here. After seeing my father in a wheelchair, he offered to build a ramp for us to for easier accessibility. This is also something we have been considering for a while. Seems like he and his guys can do just about any job!

What won me over with Turf World was: 1. Jason's transparency about the process with sending me his You Tube videos (the job went exactly as promised); 2. The turf itself was the best (was the closest replica to grass, the Catalina Pro was not the softest turf I sampled but was the sturdiest and prettiest and stood up the best like grass, and even my 6 year old daughter saw that it was the most realistic looking of 13 samples); 3) his communication, always prompt and complete, and 4) his price was the best. After researching this for 2 months, I went with Turf World and I am thrilled with the result. My advice? Go around and look at installations. Watch videos. I did and after a ton of consideration I went with Turf Word and I am a 100% happy and satisfied customer, And I'm not an easy target. PS remember as you are comparing the turf samples that soft turf flops easier. So it might feel nice, but when it falls flat and looks like a mini golf course after a month you are not going to be happy If you are wanting it to look like an actual lawn, like I did!)

    I just wanted the weeds and grass gone. I had been planning to renovate my backyard and driveway…read morefor at least 2 years. I shopped around and got 7 different bids. CIP wasn't the cheapest, nor were they the most expensive, but their responsiveness and communication set them apart. Humberto was responsive from the beginning, answered my questions, and, more importantly, gave me thoughtful answers to the questions I was actually asking. That made a huge difference in my decision to hire them. I'm very analytical. This was a large project, around 1,800 sq ft of work between the backyard and driveway, but the entire process caused surprisingly little disruption. Even the demolition, unloading materials didn't disrupt my neighbors much, and the project stayed on schedule. What impressed me most after everything was completed were the finishing details. Things most people probably wouldn't notice immediately, the placement of the fasteners in the turf, the edges and transitions, and how the perimeter of the pavers sits flush against the fence. Those little details are what make the finished project look professionally done instead of simply "finished." It looks like a part of the planning of the house now. And the transformation has been incredible. Before this project, our backyard was largely unusable for my family. I was basically the only person who spent much time back there, mostly working wiht the weeds. Now it has become a space that my wife and kids can actually enjoy and I reclaimed time with my family. I probably get a compliment on the yard at least once a week. Not sure why I can't add photos to this review because the before-and-after difference really tells the story. I did post photos with my Google review if you want to see the transformation. After spending two years researching contractors and getting multiple bids, I can confidently say I made the right choice. Hire Humberto and CIP Pavers

We debated on whether to put…read morenatural grass or artificial turf, and we decided to go with artificial turf for a couple of reasons: First, we live in CA, and the mismanagement of water resources has caused the price of water to skyrocket. Secondly, a lot of the current turf looks very realistic and resembles natural grass. Third, I wouldn't have to mow the lawn anymore!! We put out the feelers on Sunday night at 8:30 pm, not expecting to get a reply until Monday morning, but Jacob from Verdigrass responded within 10 minutes! I, along with the wife was impressed by the quick response so we scheduled an estimate with Jacob for Wednesday. Jacob was very accommodating with my work schedule and actually came to my house by 8:00 am. Since Jacob was coming from Vallejo, I knew it was a long distance and he would have to leave very early in the morning, so again, we were impressed. My meeting with Jacob went very well. Since this was my first experience with artificial turf, I had a bunch of questions, which Jacob answered fully. It was also very helpful that he had several samples that I could see and feel. After getting my quote, which came in much lower than another company. We decided to go with Verdigrass due to the experience we had thus far with Jacob. Communication with Jacob was stellar, and he was able to schedule the job for Saturday morning. The material was dropped off on Friday, and Jacob's crew, headed by Juan, arrived at 0730 am, a half hour earlier than the 0800 am start Jacob had mentioned. The crew was efficient and highly knowledgeable and had the job done in approximately 5.5 hours! We could not be happier with our experience with Jacob, Juan and Verdigrass. Now we just have to save up enough money to do the backyard!

They installed the turf in a single piece as I asked and it looks flawless. The edges, the cutouts around the 2'x2' stepping stone make it look like the turf is growing next to the stone. My previous install showed a small amount of the black fabric underneath. I didn't know what I was missing until this job was done. The estimate was provided professionally and Jacob answered all my questions to allow me to make a good informed decision. Oswaldo and team installed it to perfection. Highly recommended!

He was the only one out of my 4 quotes that gave me options of replacing the entire fence, or keeping the good parts and only changing out what was damaged. The other quotes were to throw everything away and rebuild from scratch. Jorge was not like that, he said the wood is still good, and the posts needed more concrete since the builder only went a few inches deep instead of a few feet. Since i was at it, I also had him put concrete and turf in my side yard just so it wouldnt be leaves. It was a wonderful experience. Jorge and the team i could tell took their time and made sure that it was quality work. Fair price, quality work, and nice guy. Will definitely go back to him for my next project

Unfortunately this was right after a heavy rain so my yard was very muddy. Jorge was the only person that actually walked through the mud and took measurements.

Jorge was very responsive, knowledgeable and had offered the best price.

The job was pretty straightforward but the land did have a slight slope to it. Dimension gave me great recommendations from their experience on number of piles, retaining wall, parking curbs, and even incorporated a pipe running under the concrete for future electrical system and irrigation that I requested. I would hire them again for any concrete work or anything else that they are willing to do. Their communication through the whole process was excellent, which is something that I value very highly.

Before getting introduced to Dimension, I reached out to some other concrete contractors in the Bay Area; many of them didn't even respond perhaps because of the complexity in the job while others responded with quotes that were not backed up by enough details. Dimension's quote came in with a good level of detail with very reasonable price; in addition, it had all the paper work required by the city, from workers' compensation to liability insurance. When the actual work got started, we were really pleased to see good signs of a great construction company. The crews knew how to read plans, were highly skilled and they were really hardworking (to the point that we were worried they didn't take enough breaks!). Since there was quite a bit of demolition, the crew cleaned up our driveway every day before they left. Nick, the owner, was very organized, along with great support from the office manager Daniela. Nick checked in and communicated with us on a daily basis, and was very patience in listening and responding to our questions. He got all the equipment and materials in order and he was very experienced in dealing with field engineers and city inspectors. As with any large projects, we also had "surprises" that were not covered by the plans and had to make changes accordingly. Each time when a surprise popped up, Nick put our project's interest first and tried to make flexible accommodations, even though it meant he would make a bit less money out of such changes. His homeowner-first approach was in stark contrast with dishonest contractors who low-balled their quotes just to get into projects and then take advantage of the change orders to make money. Many thanks to Dimension, we couldn't be happier with the new walls and drainage systems. In so many ways, we were lucky to get to know Dimension through their excellence. And when neighbors asked for referrals, we had no hesitation in recommending Dimension.
