I had a great experience working with Mark and Eminent Construction on my paving project…read more I first reached out to Mark in November 2020 for a quote to pave my front and backyard. Due to personal reasons, I had to put the project on hold for a while and didn't end up signing the contract until April 2022. For due diligence, I got quotes from several other paving contractors at the time. Material prices had skyrocketed across the board, and while his prices aren't the bottom-of-the-barrel lowest, among reputable, established companies, his pricing was very competitive. A couple of other options told me straight up to go with Eminent because they couldn't match his quote. Mark was able to honor his original 2020 pricing because he keeps a large inventory of pavers stored in his own warehouse. At first, I was a little worried that a lower price might mean cutting corners, but that wasn't the case at all--his work product is excellent, and so are his people. Once work began in April 2022, his team showed up right on time. Mark's guys are nice and awesome to work with, getting the job done quickly with great quality. My sister is extremely skeptical when it comes to contractors and service companies--she is not easy to please at all--but even she mentioned how impressed she was with the quality of their work. Midway through, I had several major changes, including asking him to redo the stairs, pour concrete out in my garage, add railings to the new stairs, and add custom railings to my existing front steps. Even though concrete isn't his main focus (he specializes mostly in pavers), he took it on and got his guys out here fast to redo the garage floor. On top of that, his metalworking contractors who handled the railings are second to none--the custom metalwork turned out incredible. His follow-up support has been just as solid. Recently, I noticed an issue with those stairs built back in April 2022 and brought it to Mark's attention. He didn't ask a million questions or give me any pushback--he just asked for a couple of pictures and had his crew out to fix it right away without any hassle. Finding a straight-shooting, trustworthy contractor is rare. I trust Mark completely and would recommend Eminent Construction to anyone.

We talked about pricing for about 15 minutes, and the work started the very next day. Jose's pricing was very reasonable, especially considering that he specializes exclusively in concrete work. On top of his excellent communication, his work ethic and professionalism really stood out. Before starting, he provided a clear and detailed estimate, along with his license number, insurance, and workers' compensation information. The work also comes with a 10-year warranty, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. The entire project was completed within 5 days, exactly as promised in the contract. On top of that, Jose even helped us install a gazebo at no extra charge, which was a huge and much-appreciated bonus.

Francis (Falanisi) is truly knowledgable, fair, and professional. He was extremely responsive and genuine, and guided me through the entire process to ensure we achieved my desired outcome. The curb sidewalls leading into my driveway were extremely high and wide making it very difficult for vehicles to pull in and out without damaging their tires and/or rims. Francis was able to suggest a cost effective and reasonably priced option, and then completed the service and work expeditiously, as promised. The pictures were taken right after, but now that the driveway has been washed down, you can hardly tell work had been done. The driveway looks amazing now, and allows for vehicles to comfortably pull in and out without damaging their tires and/or rims. I highly recommend Francis and Kokonut Konkrete for all of your concrete needs!! You definitely won't go wrong with them.

I hired Jaime years ago to fix a wall that was missing some cinder blocks, to increase privacy of…read moreour back yard which faces the street. After initial inspection, he came with a crew. They added few rows without paying attention to detail of adding sufficient concrete between them. My mom had to tell the workers to fill in the gaps. Then we had to tell them to fill in the gaps on our neighbor side because we share a wall. They did lazy work. Those areas were not filled at the joints. Needless to say, years later, today I am having issues with the wall. Because of the size block they used, my wall is now leaning and starting to buckle out. The new contractor I hired said this new block that was added is not up to code and it is the incorrect type/size. They should have never used it. Contractor also said many blocks are not set correctly because the joints were not properly adhered together with enough concrete between them. I was charged $1300 to add these 2-3 rows of blocks. And this was at least 7-8 years ago. I feel like I was ripped off. Now I have to tear the wall down and do it all over again because it has leaned to far it can't be repaired. It has to be replaced. Very upsetting especially because I wanted to hire a small local business. I want to support my community. It feels like they took advantage of our lack of knowledge behind wall building and codes. That's prob the worst part.

I did two jobs through EHD. First, replacement of 50-yearold brick patios and walkways with pavers…read more I was tired of tripping over the places the brick had become a roller coaster. That was a huge job with a very large area to be done. The second job was to replace a fence that had blown down during the Altadena fire and wind storm. Both jobs were executed perfectly, and they make my home look new! The jobs were managed by Tommy Marudi, and he did a great job making sure all my concerns were met and the jobs were completed as I expected. You have a very happy customer! I'll contact you for the next job!

I did not have a great experience with EHD Builders, whom I hired to redo the coping around my pool…read moreand stain my outdoor bar area. I hired them because they had great reviews, despite being pricier than some of the other estimates I received. Once the project commenced, there were significant delays at the beginning of the project because the supplier was out of the prefabricated coping that I selected. We opted instead to have a subcontractor pour the cement. The result was coping that is the wrong color from what I selected and has already began cracking. I wanted the pool coping to match the bar area. Instead, I have a pink/grey coping around my pool that clashes with my brown/gold bar and the other areas in my backyard with cement that is also brownish gold. The color mismatch is on top of the fact that they damaged some of the tile around the pool and replaced it with tile that did not match. To add insult to injury, the bar was also not stained properly and EHD accused me of cleaning it with harsh chemicals and ruining the finish. Ultimately, EHD agreed to have the subcontractor restain the bar after I sent photos showing that the bar had been used by the workmen tasked with pouring the cement to eat their lunch. To be clear, there were no harsh chemicals used to clean the bar, but the fact that I (the owner) was accused of damaging the bar as opposed to them taking ownership of the fact that the stain looked terrible was characteristic of my dealings with them. Even after the restaining, the surface of the bar now has a white cast and uneven stain throughout. Finally, they broke the bolts on my diving board when they removed it to lay the cement around the pool. When they realized their error, they claimed that the bolts broke after they tried to reinstall the board because the bolts were rusted. Of course, I had photos showing that the bolts were broken when the board was uninstalled initially, so they agreed that they would order new bolts to install the diving board. They never did. In the end, the company refused to fix their errors. I had to hire someone else to reinstall my diving board and I will have to pay additional expenses to have someone come out to fix my coping, which doesn't match any of the other concrete in my backyard. I reached out one last time to give them an opportunity to fix this issue. Their response was that the color of the cement (a pinkish gray) was the color that I picked out (autumn gold) and they offered me a discount on the remainder of the payment due. So to be clear - they ruined my backyard, and instead of refunding my money, requested additional payment for work that doesn't meet professional standards and is contrary to what I hired them to do. The poor workmanship, the gaslighting, the lying...If I could give zero stars, I would.

He was amazing to work with, checking in with us every day and offering up suggestions along the way without being pushy. Renovation inevitably comes with unexpected turns, but his team was able to help us reasonably navigate rerouting water and gas line, working around sprinklers and adding electrical. We tore out our crumbling concrete driveway, expanded over parts of the lawn, and added pavers from the driveway to the backyard. Luxury Pavers built us a custom bench, seating area, privacy wall, added posts for shades and brought in new turf.

The work was quick, efficient, they followed my requests as to which plants to remove and which trees to preserve, and they installed turf around it. The yard now looks beautiful and it looks so much bigger without the half-dead plants and bushes. The dogs love it and hang out in the yard a lot more than they did before. If you have pets and you're on the fence about turf, just do it! Turftopia was an excellent choice to go with due to pricing, speed of service, and quality of installation.
