I reached out to Geoff and as always, he was very responsive and offered to repair these items. Geoff and his team stand by their workmanship and products. They put a lot of emphasis on both, the quality of their work and customer satisfaction. It's becoming hard to find companies/business owners that care and take pride in their work. I will continue to recommend Swanson!

This was a very complicated project and we got estimates from multiple contractors before choosing Ceglio Concrete. They came up with solutions that other companies couldn't figure out. Lucas and his crew really impressed us with their knowledge, ingenuity, work ethics and positive attitude. Their pricing is very fair and they go out of their way to save you money if possible. Work included: grading around house and yard, walkway around house to protect foundation, remove/replace front curb and front sidewalk, extensive driveway to detached garage, back patio, bbq area with attached fire pit/seating. There has been ZERO cracks or standing water! Impressive considering the amount of cement pored and grading issues. We wish we had more projects needing cement. The crew was a joy to work with!!

I recently hired FG Pavers for a major project involving a complete storm drainage system, a new…read moreretaining wall, and paver installation. Overall, I am very satisfied with the transformation of my outdoor space. From the start, Hugo was fantastic. He helped me navigate the design phase, offering creative solutions and solid ideas that I hadn't even considered. During construction, Nick was incredibly accommodating. Even though it was clear he had a very busy schedule, he made a point to visit the site daily and was always available to answer my calls, which I really appreciated. The crew themselves were hard workers and clearly skilled in their trade. That said, with a project of this scale, I found that being a highly involved homeowner was necessary. There were a couple of instances where I had to step in to point out issues that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. To their credit, FG Pavers corrected these items immediately once they were raised. I'd recommend them for their craftsmanship and their willingness to make things right.

Project: Installing Porcelain/Saltillo-style matte patio with inlays and a paver walkway…read moreSummary: I'd hire FG Pavers and Turf again at the drop of a hat, no questions asked. Bid/Quote: They came, inspected the project site and gave a complete quote including the construction detail. Tiles in an outdoor patio is uncommon, so we had a lot of questions from the grading to rebar to water proofing to sealent to grout. FG answered all the questions and accommodated our requests to align with the tile vendor recommendations. Price competitiveness: We spoke with 4 paver companies. 1 didn't want to do Porcelain tiles+ Paver, 1 didn't meet our budget, job was too small for one. Project Management: regular site visits by the site lead. Eduardo is a gem. They helped us pick the right material, picked up the tiles, did the dry layout and kept us updated on the schedule Work site: Saul and his team were punctual, spotless at the end of workday and walked through every step of the process. They made sure we reviewed the progress and that we approved the changes. We had a couple of last minute changes. Eduardo/Saul accommodated that. Saul is awesome to work with Quality of work: Wife can't stop beaming. I am going to be cashing that check for a while

We just had our entire front driveway and walkways redone by Liquid Coating Designs of Pleasanton…read more Our original walkway was an uneven aggregate and not properly sloped in places. The large 3 car driveway was a different concrete surface. Charlie, the owner, met with us to show us examples and options for a cohesive finish over all the surfaces with the look of custom stone blocks that didn't require any tear out. Once we agreed to proceed they started by making us a very large sample board customized to the style and color scheme we agreed to. I admit I asked for a few adjustments to color on the board and they were very accommodating. Once we were happy with the board they knew exactly how to proceed to give us what we wanted. The final product exceeded all our expectations. It looks amazing and keeping it clean has been easy, such as the ability to spray with water to get the bird droppings off. We were also very impressed with the crew, who were professional, pleasant and very hard workers. Diego (crew chief) and Gerardo started early and worked full days non stop until the job was done to perfection. They managed to work around cold weather and even a few rain days. The Project Manager, Orlando, checked with us daily to explain what to expect and address any questions. The site was always kept clean and orderly with regular drop offs of material and pickup of debris by Ches. We had many people walk by asking about the process and amazed that no tear out was needed. Our neighbors are impressed with the final product and we highly recommend Liquid Coating Designs to them and anyone else. We are including some before and after pics to show the transformation a bit. It is truly a work of art! It's all hand tooled and colored with NO stamping.

I had seen a friend's cement resurfacing project which did not impress me as you could still see every existing crack and previous imperfection. I called Liquid Coating Designs after searching for "no cement tear out" companies, and I am so glad I did. Liquid Coating is amazing. The transformation has been fantastic and beyond what I had expected! Working with Liquid Coating Designs has been a joy. After giving them a call to request a quote, Irlanda came to our house, provided information and showed a video of what we can expect. I was excited to say the least. When the work commenced, I could see it was a process, but I enjoyed watching every step of it. I couldn't imagine staples in concrete until I saw them up close (green things in picture below)! Orlando, the foreman, would come by according to my schedule to give me updates and answer any questions. The crew was very efficient, showed complete respect for our property and cleaned up every afternoon before they left (hoses were rolled, taped and stacked in a pile). This level of meticulousness should be a course every contracting company should take. Liquid Coating Designs is a company which takes pride in its product and its work. They should! I walk out onto our pool area (barefoot) and cannot believe what a transformation I now have. I absolutely love it. I highly recommend Liquid Coating Designs. This is a company that has achieved perfection from start to finish. THANK YOU Liquid Coating Designs!

Sambrano's Masonry has completed all the stone work for my new backyard - and they did an amazing…read morejob! Not only was the quality of the craftsmanship top-notch, but the professionalism exhibited was some of the best I have ever experienced with a contractor. Back to the craftsmanship: Jaime gave me solid advice on the types of stones to select - travertine tile, ledge stone, quartz for the bbq counter, and field tile for the bbq backsplash and the fire pit. Every single piece was cut, shaped or ground as needed, with Jaime often providing direction where I needed it. The result is a stunning backyard, all thanks to Jaime's work. When the raw box for the grill provided by a reseller directly to me, proved to have incorrect cutouts, Jaime stepped in, and with no charge, helped fix the mistake. I also appreciate that Jaime told me what he could, but shouldn't, do: the shell for the fire pit and the bbq were better left for the equipment reseller. Jaime's guys just made them look amazing after installation with ledge stone, field tile and quartz countertops. All expertly done. The communication was also good - as with all good contractors, Jaime is busy, but he sets expectations well. One day, when he got started later than he wanted, but needed to get done because equipment installation was dependent on his completion, his two guys stayed until 11 PM to finish up! Just good people - Jaime and all of his family (and, yes, it is mostly family) are the nicest guys. Polite, friendly and generous with advice, often proactively so: I'd never have thought to backlight the quartz counters, but following this piece of unsolicited advice proved wise. Sambrano's guys were also COVID safe, wearing masks when close to me, and avoiding unnecessary handshakes and such. . Thank you, Sambrano's Masonry!
