We had gotten quotes from other local companies, some much higher and others incredibly predatory (promised discounts if they didn't have to pull permits, etc.). Alpha was the only one who was straightforward, but also genuinely kind and honest. We were most comfortable working with them and I'm so happy we did. They called us and squeezed us in quickly which was great! The guys on the job were so awesome and respectful. We had a very angry/nosy neighbor situation who felt permits with the City of Petaluma simply weren't enough and we also needed to go through the permitting office of Mr. Neighbor -- I'm not joking. He was awful, but the guys carried on, completely undisturbed and also gave us assurance that we did everything right. They took incredible care with ensuring the sidewalk concrete was done correctly and cleanly -- matching with the rest of the sidewalk. Just really went the extra mile. Highly recommend this business.

I can't recommend SMI Demolition highly enough.

Once we hired them, they handled the entire project professionally from start to finish, including permitting and inspections. They showed up when they said they would, kept everything moving, and did an unbelievable job overall. I was so happy with their work that I've already hired them for a second project, and I fully expect to use them again for several upcoming projects. It's rare to find a contractor who is this responsive, reliable, fairly priced, and easy to work with. Highly recommend SMI Demolition.

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.

Due to the difficulty and risk involved for excavation, it was hard to find a contractor to take on the job but from my initial consult with Victor, him and his team noted their experience with these scenarios and he was confident they can do it in less than a day. On excavation day they brought the necessary equipment and tools and were very cautious about the gas pipe. They ended up finishing the job in less than a half day! To follow up, we realized we needed more excavation at the apron of the driveway and Victor again came to the rescue and excavated that for us a week later. I sincerely appreciate the time efficiency and skill that Victor and his team have in getting our excavation needs completed. I highly recommend Victor and his team and will always reach out to him first when we need more excavation for future projects. Thanks Victor!

I appreciate that they came out to bid the job, but what a waste of my time…read more They asked for plans, so I sent them the structural & architectural drawings to review prior to our meeting. They then scheduled a time to come out. We went over the project, and I was told it was definitely something they do & getting me a quote would be no problem. Later that day I was informed it would take a couple of weeks to get back with the quote, because they do several bids a day & it takes time to get them out. 3 weeks later (this morning) I get an email saying they won't be bidding my work, because they are changing their scope of work, and this just isn't the kind of job they're looking for. Too bad, because once I learn the building process on my ADU I have plans to move on to doing a small subdivision.... And things will only go up from there. My family has built residential & commercial real estate for decades, and I am presently looking for the right people to use in the future. Not the best way to run a business, but hey.... Maybe they don't think long term & that's ok. Most business like that will peak & by the next generation will diminish into nothing. These guys wasted my time, and ultimately acted too good for my job.

We were so impressed with their work crew and the quality of the job, that we also had them do our backyard about a year later which involved putting in a new paver patio, artificial turf and walkway. Both projects turned out even better than we had hoped! Dan does a thorough job of coming out and discussing your project needs and "wish list" of things you want to do. He creates a design and a budget and he works with you every step of the way, addressing your questions, concerns and/or modifications. Throughout the course of both projects we changed our minds about a few aspects and Dan was flexible and made sure we were 100% happy with the final result. His office team is also super helpful and responsive since Dan is often out on site. I also cannot say enough about the crew he has working for him. They show up every day on time, they are very neat and clean up at the end of each day. They work very quickly but they are also meticulous in getting every detail right. I cannot recommend GHS enough. No matter how big or small your project is, Dan and his team will do an amazing job!

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
