I showed John a picture of one he did before, told him I liked redwood, and he was off to the races. In just a few short days, my dilapidated 1970s fireplace was a brand new marble wonder with a custom redwood mantle and much safer for my kids. When I had a problem with a window in my kitchen, John was on the scene and took care of it before I could even get to my house to worry about it. That next week, I had a huge, upgraded window in my office overlooking the hills. John cares deeply about his clients, takes care of your home as if it were his own, and charges a fair and reasonable price for his work. He communicates with you regularly so you feel informed, empowered, and cared about. He answers questions quickly and honestly, giving you the benefit of his many years as a general contractor. Doing business with him is like working with a friend or neighbor. I highly recommend John and HomeSmith and can't wait to work with him on other projects at my home.

I had come up with a preliminary plan for our outdoor stairs and patio projectss and he pretty much took it from there and ran with it. He was always pleasant, helpful and professional throughout the time it took to complete the projects. He completed the work, as proposed, and within the time allowed. He dealt with issues by coming up with solid solutions, keeping in mind to consider our budget. I would highly recommend HomeSmith for consideration when planning your next home project.

The guys who worked on the landscape was also nice and very respectful. The quality of service was top tier.

All I wanted was a clear price and estimated time. Eric responded timely and gave a clear quote. I had to split the work up into two days cause some of my items hadn't arrived yet and he was able to quote me for the two days just fine with a clear understanding of the work. He worked efficiently, had all the tools and a floor tarp and work was excellent quality all around. The price was very competitive and reasonable. He built a bunk bed with a trundle and a twin bed also with a trundle and a dresser, all in one day. Super happy with the work. Thanks!

Jose responded to my inquiry quickly, explained everything clearly, and made us feel confident from start to finish. Then they started the whole project less than a week, and completed in two days with high quality work! The pricing was very competitive compared to other quotes we received, and on top of that, his team even helped us with some extra work at no additional charge. The concrete flat work turned out absolutely beautiful--clean, smooth, and high quality. My husband and I are truly impressed by Jose and his team's workmanship and work ethic. We will 100% recommend them to anyone who needs concrete work done. They are truly top-notch!

Supreme Concrete recently completed an outstanding driveway project at my home. This was much more…read moreinvolved than simply replacing my 43-year-old cracked driveway. They widened my two-car driveway by approximately 25 inches on the garden side and 38 inches on the lawn side. This required removing and relocating irrigation lines and sprinkler heads, which was no small task. On the garden side, they also constructed a curb because the remaining garden area is higher than the driveway. The original driveway was only four inches thick and had no reinforcing steel. Supreme poured the new driveway approximately five to five-and-a-half inches thick and installed a rebar grid spaced about every 18 inches. They also installed a proper sewer cleanout cover over the existing cleanout pipe. This was the second project I hired Supreme Concrete to complete. The first was replacing three concrete sidewalk panels. They did such an excellent job on that smaller project that I had no hesitation hiring them for the much larger driveway project. What makes this company so special is the owner, Jose, along with his crew and the excellent equipment he provides for them. Jose prepares his bids and directs his crew with the expectation that the work will be completed above code and as close to perfection as possible. During the two-day driveway project, Jose repeatedly asked whether I was satisfied with the work and whether there was anything else that needed attention. His concern continued even after the main job was finished. I mentioned that one sprinkler head was about an inch too high and that the outlet for a yard drainpipe could have been positioned better. Jose sent a crew member back on a third day to correct both items. The worker also removed a large pile of dirt that was not Supreme Concrete's responsibility. The crew was exceptional. I counted eight workers, and because I am retired, I was able to sit in my garage and watch them work for several hours. Their movements appeared almost choreographed. Everyone knew exactly what needed to be done, and they worked together efficiently and professionally. Each crew member appeared to take great pride in doing the job correctly. It was genuinely enjoyable and impressive to watch them work. Their teamwork is clearly a reflection of the close-knit group Jose has developed and supervises. I cannot adequately describe how pleased I was with every member of the crew. Jose has also equipped his employees with excellent machinery and tools, including trucks, backhoes, and seemingly every other piece of equipment needed to complete the work efficiently and properly. If you have a concrete project and need a dependable contractor, I do not believe you can do better than Jose and Supreme Concrete. I recommend them without hesitation.

Included 2 gates and a large removable panel should I need to get equipment into the yard in the future. Material used was good quality galvanized schedule 11 steel. Tom and his team did a great job. Tom is very customer focused with good communication via phone, text and in person meetings while the construction was going on. Tom is the owner and is involved the whole way from providing the quote to overseeing the work in person on the job site every day. The team took good care to minimize damage to my landscaping as the installation required working around existing landscaping and sprinkler system. He was quick to check with me during construction to make sure it was being installed to my liking including how gates opened and latch placement. They showed up on time everyday. Job site was left neat and orderly at the end of each day. Pricing for the work was very competitive with other quotes I got. Overall, I am very satisfied and would not hesitate to use Tom and All American Fencing again.
