I had a cracked driveway and contacted Dibara Masonry for a free estimate. Matt came out and was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and honest. He took the time to explain the root cause of the problem, including foundation issues that needed to be addressed before moving forward. Once everything was ready, Matt and his team Chayan (i hope I'm spelling the correctly), Franscico and the others handled the project flawlessly. All were professional, respectful, and easy to work with. Ans most importantly LISTENED to our concerns. They completed the job in under the original timeframe estimated. week timeframe, and the quality top notch!! Couldn't be more satisfied! This is hands down the best value you could ask for. read more

I cannot say enough good things about DiBara Masonry! We needed a new retaining wall and they did an absolutely beautiful job. I was so worried about the mess and the stress of a big project, but they made the whole process so easy. The crew was incredibly polite, they showed up right on time every single day, and they cleaned up after themselves beautifully when they were finished. You can really tell they take pride in their work because the wall looks so sturdy and gorgeous. It gives me such peace of mind knowing it was done right. If you need any work done, do yourself a favor and call them. They are just wonderful! read more

Our experience with DiBara Masonry was extremely disappointing. We initially met with Matt to review the plans for our project. He was knowledgeable, professional, and conveyed significant industry experience. We were then introduced to the sales team, who described the project as straightforward and estimated that the work could be completed within 6-8 weeks based on plans that had already been approved by the city. Instead, the project extended to approximately seven months and was marked by persistent communication issues, poor coordination among team members, inadequate project management, and a lack of consistent oversight. After the contract was signed, both Matt and our sales representative became largely unavailable. We were assigned a project manager who was unfamiliar with the approved plans and frequently required clarification on basic project details. When we raised concerns with our sales representative, we were told that project-related issues were outside his responsibility, and we were not directed to anyone else who could effectively address them. Partway through the project, the company hired a new Director of Operations who assured us that existing issues would be resolved and the project would be brought back on track. Unfortunately, communication remained inconsistent, calls and messages often went unanswered, and there were periods of multiple weeks when no work was performed on site. A significant issue throughout the project was the apparent lack of communication between departments. Sales, project managers, foremen, office staff, and accounting frequently appeared to be operating independently, resulting in repeated miscommunications, conflicting information, and a constant stream of redundant calls, texts, and emails. As a customer, it often felt as though we were responsible for relaying information between members of their own team. One (of many) examples: we scheduled a walk through prior to making our final payment. A week later the accounting team threatened to put a mechanic's lien on our house because we hadn't paid yet. Apparently no one was talking to each other within their office. The company also relied on a long succession of subcontractors. In our experience, many arrived on site without a clear understanding of the scope of work and without access to the approved plans. This led to confusion, delays, and avoidable mistakes. Most concerning were incidents that appeared to result directly from lack of oversight. Work performed by the team caused significant damage to our sewer line. On another occasion, concrete was scheduled to be poured over exposed electrical lines that had not yet been reconnected, a situation that could have created serious complications had it not been identified beforehand. We made several attempts to speak directly with Matt regarding our concerns about project quality, management, and coordination. However, we were repeatedly told that he was unavailable or booked weeks in advance, and we were never able to have a meaningful discussion about the issues affecting our project. Based on our experience, the company presented a far different level of organization and oversight during the sales process than what was ultimately delivered once construction began. read more

From our very first meeting with Eric, Carlos, and Edgar, it was clear that we were working with professionals who genuinely cared about quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction. They transformed our old driveway into a stunning stamped concrete driveway, and the results exceeded our expectations. Their attention to detail, work ethic, and commitment to excellence made this one of the best home improvement experiences we have ever had. They removed our old pavers, carefully prepared and leveled the base, paid close attention to every joint line, and used high-quality materials with exceptional craftsmanship throughout the entire project. One thing that truly stood out was that they went out of their way to acquire a brand-new stamp pattern specifically for us so we could achieve exactly the look we wanted. The finished driveway is absolutely beautiful. What impressed us just as much as the final result was the way they managed the project. Eric, Carlos, and Edgar explained every step of the process, answered every question, and kept us informed from beginning to end. Their communication, customer service, and project management were outstanding, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. To make their accomplishment even more impressive, they completed this major project in only three days while working through some of the hottest summer temperatures of the year. Their dedication, work ethic, and attention to detail never wavered despite the extreme heat. If you are looking for a team that is skilled, honest, hardworking, and truly takes pride in their craft, we highly recommend Eric, Carlos, and Edgar. Their professionalism, precision, and commitment to quality are second to none. We are beyond thrilled with our new stamped concrete driveway and would not hesitate to hire them again. Thank you for an exceptional experience and a finished product that exceeded our expectations. read more

Despite some communication issues among staff that extended the timeline of the project and required a bit of personal oversight as a homeowner, I'm very pleased with the product and end result of the retaining wall work we had done. Overall, a great local company that prioritizes good work at a reasonable price point. I would absolutely use DiBara again. read more

DiBara team deserves a 5-star plus plus for the work that they wall that they repaired for us. I have worked with various contractors over the past 30 years, but this is the first time that the process was smooth, on budget, on time and the outcome exceeded my expectations. Our wall was damaged via a car accident driven by our neighbor (please see before and after pictures attached). Early in the process, Renee was quick to provide a high level quote via a zoom call. Then Edgar came to my house to observe the damage and provided a detailed quote. There was a cap on how much the insurance company was paying so Edgar worked with his team to give us additional discounts in order to reduce the amount of money our neighbor would have to pay out of pockets. Their prices were lower than two other companies so the $97 inspection fee was credited. The construction team included Chayan, Francisco, Leo, Gabrino, Joe , Fernando and Juan, and they all were professional, meticulous, courteous and operated safety. Francisco, Edgar and Chayan accommodated the higher quality bricks that we chose without nickel and dime us and our neighbor. The team communicated progress well and cleaned up the area at the end of each day. I feel this company is ethical, provides superior work and services to its customers at lower prices. I definitely will use DiBara again and will be referring this company to others. Thank you DiBara team!! read more

Shoutout to this awesome team for doing an incredible job on my new driveway!!! From start to finish, they were professional, on time, and their attention to detail was outstanding. You can tell they bring generations of experience. The driveway came out awesome, the quality of the work is topnotch and the entire process was smooth and stress free. If you're looking for concrete or masonry work done right the first time, I highly recommend them! read more

I initially chose Dibara Masonry based on their quick response to my inquiry and their professional site visit. Unfortunately, that responsiveness vanished the moment the contract was signed. I was told to expect work to begin around the two-week mark, but after 6 weeks of radio silence -- and despite several attempts on my part to get an update -- I've had no response. Communication is key in any home renovation, and given the total lack thereof, I'll be looking for a different contractor. read more

I had a good experience with Matt and his team. I ended up not using them and paying about $700 more with someine else but they came personally recommended from a client of mine. DiBara price was fair and im sure they do exceptional work read more

Our job was not a big one but Dibara did first class work. The concrete area in front of our house had tilted a bit down towards the house so rainwater would run to the foundation. We had Dibara put in 3 features to help keep water away, the first was a step up to the foundation, the second was a drain set in the concrete around our stairs where the water pooled (which drained away toward the lower steps) and finally a curb on our driveway to keep water from draining off towards the house. The work was exactly what we asked for and done to a high quality standard. I can't say enough good things about them and would work with them for any concrete needs. read more

Matt and his team were helpful, honest, and super easy to work with! He helped me figure out the most cost effective way to deal with our fireplace, and never tried to upsell. The team was the perfect balance of professional and personable! I would recommend them to anyone! read more

I wish I had gone with another company. We were quoted the work would take a week and a half at most and it's been over a month and it isn't done. The worst is that days will go by with no workers here and i can't get anyone on the phone, leading me to panic that they took our money and won't finish. I understand delays during a project but this is truly so unprofessional. I've given them every benefit of the doubt, but I would avoid this company at all costs! read more

This was a complex matter with a wall - it was damaged by someone else, possible litigation etc etc. Matt and John came out, got to the heart of the issue; we avoided the complex lawyer etc stuff, almost done with the issue. Matt and John: Great service level, organized, and smart. read more

On time, professional, and good costs. Requested services and received response promptly. Was happy with service

They did not post that they charge a service fee for estimates which of course is deducted from the services if you should use their services. read more

We selected DiBara to stabilize a retaining wall and regrade a concrete patio for water drainage and they were the right mix of professional and practical. They provided a realistic assessment and viable plan to fix the problem without going overboard on a full rebuild. The construction team encountered an issue mid construction and quickly provided a working alternative plan to drain water via drain and piping. They worked quickly to meet our schedule and the results turned out great. Their project team was extremely responsive and professional. I would hire them again. read more

Dibara masonry was responsive and professional during the entire proposal / bidding process for a large scale residential wall, sidewalk / driveway, paver project. Communication was fluid along with excellent audio / video presentations making the whole process seamless. Would highly recomend. read more

DiBara did a great job fixing a retaining wall and stairs in our back yard. The site visit was easy to schedule, their price was better than competitors, and the repairs and resurfacing have really improved the look of our back yard. I would use them again for concrete projects. read more

There are a lot of companies in this space, but Dibara definitely exists in its own tier. We hired them to help us reinforce a retaining wall, and the difference was clear from very early conversations when Matt literally talked us OUT of a more expensive solution we thought we would have to do. His crew was incredibly kind, clean, and considerate - when you have new people around your house for a job it is so nice to see such friendly faces. Things generally ran on time and in budget, and our neighbors were impressed by how courteous the team was. Lastly - cleanup was incredible. We hired another well-advertised company/competitor a few years ago in this same space to do a smaller job and they left a MESS.. splatters of concrete, dust, and debris. Comparatively, Dibara's crew kept the attention to detail tight all the way down to the last phase - on hands and knees in the backyard literally vacuuming the smallest bit of dust out of turf. Price is important, and Dibara is very competitive. But moreover, the experience of doing a job together was as painless and professional as a home construction project could possibly be. If you have a masonry/wall/waterproofing project, you need to talk to Matt. read more

DiBara Masonry repaired my brick and wood fence that was badly damaged when a car slammed into it. Matt came out and assessed the damage and sent crews to rebuild the entire section. The brick work was outstanding and the crews were professional and knowledgeable. The job involved not only rebuilding the brick wall but replacing a cracked cement retaining wall and the wood planks. They did an amazing job and it actually looks better than before. I highly recommend this company! read more

I have had just bad experiences with contractors. Dibara Masonry was a pleasure to work with from the start. The communication from start to end was so clear and easy to follow. This is exactly what I look for in a company. I had a tree root that was push up the driveway, steps and my deck. Dibara Masonry came out broke out the bad section of driveway. Got rid of the root and put everything back together. The team did a wonderful job. They were respectful of the property and did a great job of cleaning up when they were done. Will definitely use them again. Thanks to Edgar and Renee. read more

We had this group do a complicated backyard design with concrete, pebbles and soil on three levels of our yard. We changed our minds about what we wanted several times. The DiBara team was very responsive and performed excellently. Their prices were reasonable given all the work that they did. We recommend them as excellent for landscaping. read more

Worst, half-assed, sloppy driveway project I've ever witnessed at an exorbitant price. Get other quotes and go with another company. ANY other company. read more

These guys were very good to work with. Dibarra demolished a sinking patio and failing retaining wall, replacing them with a new solid patio and sturdy well-footed retaining wall behind it. This was necessary as the patio is on the edge of a hill that had eroded significantly over time. The whole project went smoothly overall. Of note was the consideration of the work teams. I have an extensive garden that made access to the work area a bit of a challenge. The working crews were very careful to go through a specific corridor designated for them. Surprisingly, almost no damage was done to my garden areas after all this heavy and messy work was completed. Their pricing was quite fair for all the work they did. I highly recommend them. read more

Dibara were professional, thorough, timely, and helpful throughout the entire process of repairing two of my retaining walls. Highly recommend. read more

I recently had DiBara's team do a widening of my driveway with brickwork requiring a lot of intensive cutting and careful work. Though the job took an extra day than originally planned, it came out very well and I would definitely recommend them. The team leaders are responsive and very accommodating as well. read more

We just finished our 2nd project with Dibara Masonry. Our decision was based on the first project, 2 garden retaining walls. They went by the book and didn't cut any corners. The same with our second project, a cement patio that also required some thoughtful design as we had varying ground levels. Each step of the way they confirmed my choices. The patio turned out great. We just wanted to thank Matt and the team for a smooth construction experience. read more

Based on my excellent experience with the DiBara Masonry company I highly recommend them for concrete work. They were able to obtain the permit for me from the City of Los Angeles to widen my driveway apron and remove and repair some of the adjacent sidewalk at a price that was within my budget. Rene, the great company representative, Edgar, the outstanding project manager, the office staff, and Leo, the wonderful site foreman, and the amazing teams of on site workers were all friendly, hard working, helpful and efficient. The concrete work turned out perfectly and the job site was left very clean. The focus on safety at the job site during the work was impressive. The billing and payment process was clear and efficient. From initial contact to completion it was a great experience to work with DiBara Masonry and I appreciate the excellent job. read more

Matt and his DiBara team were very professional. He communicated about what to expect, including how long things would take. The craftsmanship of the concrete work was excellent; One of the lead craftsmen (Ubaldo) carved out the concrete stairs to inlay tile we had selected and did a beautiful, exacting job. We have come to appreciate how thorough and competent DiBara are in completing the job on time and we felt thoroughly informed about daily progress throughout the completion of the project. They came equipped for the job and even provided a temporary restroom for their workers, which kept workers on site and was just one more step in the planning and execution of this large project that has left us so satisfied. read more

Dibara Masonry - This is just one small part of a large job that included replacing much of our driveway, as well as two sets of steps. - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Glendale, California

My HOA hired Dibara Masonry to repair two retaining walls that had large cracks in the corner of the walls. We were impressed by the video presentation that Dibara Masonry made for our HOA board regarding the repair proposals. They provided us three cost effective solutions on how we could repair and reinforce the retaining walls. Our HOA board was very particular about final appearance of the walls and we had concerns about the appearance of the new tie-back plates needed to reinforce the wall. To deal with this concern about the appearance, the team (Fernando, Francisco, Eddie and Project Manager Edgar) came up with a way to hid the tie-back plates inside the masonry blocks. I am very impressed with their professionalism and ingenuity to think outside of the box and come up with a solution without affecting the overall appearance of the finished retaining wall. Overall, I am very pleased with their completed work. I would highly recommend this company for any of your retaining wall repairs or projects. read more

John Curtis did a phenomenal job securing two walls on our property. He completed the job on schedule. We were appreciative of his expertise and ability to explain to us the extent of the project. We highly recommend John for any DiBara masonry projects. Phil and Angie Snow read more

Due to structural concerns, our building (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) required the replacement of a center column, landing, steps and original tile. Being one of the most beautiful areas of the courtyard, we were nervous about how to best proceed. DiBara Masonry assigned foreman John Curtis to our project. From the first day to the last, John showed complete mastery of every aspect of our project--demolition, pouring concrete, tile setting and stucco along with an exact re-creation of the column. It was a pleasure and an honor to work with such a kind, humble and highly skilled individual. read more

Dibara Masonry was fantastic to work with. Matt came by and did a comprehensive assessment of the work to be done, then a detailed plan of how he and his team would accomplish it. The crew was extremely polite, prompt and professional, completing the job in the exact amount of time initially predicted. Overall it was a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again or recommend Dibara Masonry. read more

Had a great experience with a very difficult situation. The 8 foot retaining wall adjoining my neighbors property was cracking in a number of places due to tree roots. Took six months to get permission from my Neighbour to do the work on his property. Edgar and Carlos stuck with me throughout and their team did a fantastic job replacing a 13 foot stretch of the wall. read more

I LOVE this company!! Matt, the owner is very nice and very knowledgeable. He has helped me with many projects. His crews are hardworking, trustworthy guys. And very good at what they do. Everyone in the office are also very nice and very helpful. I would highly recommend DiBara for all your concrete projects! Thank you DiBara Masonry! read more

Summary : Very quick response.. thorough planning. Great work by John. A little friction with Matt (the owner) at first. When Matt D (the owner) came to give me a quote and talk about the retaining wall project, we had a little friction. From my past experience, while the owner cares about the reputation of the company, the crew is different. 95% of the time, when workers fixed something, they accidentally broke something else in the process. Matt is not willing to go back onsite and check the work. He said if the client doesn't trust the crew, the the client is looking down on the crew and we should not work together. Matt also said "You dont want me to do the work myself because you cannot afford me." That is very arrogant. New clients need assurance to gain trust, not dismissive statements. I almost didn't want to move forward, but it was a rainy week and the other vendors responded slower, so I went ahead with it reluctantly. I was impressed with thorough planning and communication by Edgar, and when they sent John to do the work, and I witnessed how John worked, I was more impressed. John cares about what he is doing. That is extremely rare these days, especially when he doesn't own the company. After the first full day of work, John has gained my trust. Overall, John did a great job, John cares about his work, and I understand now why Matt was so proud of his crew. Recommended. read more

From the very start we have been exceedingly pleased with the service and workmanship of DiBara Masonry. Francisco was the mason on our job, He and his helper, Fernando were always extremely pleasant; capable of telling us what happened; and what was about to happen. They went out of their way to make sure we knew exactly what was happening. We have had several jobs done at our home, this company knows how to treat a customer properly. My wife and I highly recommend this company. read more
