Three major pluses: 1) honest and fair pricing, with add ons and discounts to make it work; 2) extremely capable, hardworking and trustworthy crew; and 3) family owned and local. Just do it. I got 4 quotes, Pineda's was in the middle but was offering a higher quality build than other guys at the same price point. These guys don't cut corners, they do it right. They aren't trying to upsell you, they aren't trying to scam you, they just want to build you something that will be beautiful and last, and be paid fairly for their work. We LOVE our wall and patio, couldn't be happier. I'm doing my driveway next and I won't even get quotes, I'll just call Pineda's.

I got 3 estimates for my front yard landscaping. We wanted some turf to replace our old (mostly…read moredead) grass, pavers and some new plants to punctuate. Garret came in slightly under the others - and actually was able to do a little more within my budget than the other options! We also love that when he came out, he actually had sample grasses for us to pick from on the spot and a booklet of all the paver options, so it was easy to visualize the end result. He also gave me a much better warranty on the work he did than anyone else. The team worked fast and efficiently. And once they started, they finished within a week. And when it was done, they let me keep the excess materials, in case we ever need repairs down the line. Highly recommend!

As I write my third review of Palacios Masonry, I want to say from the start that this review is…read moreintended to be even more favorable than the first two. I asked Robert Palacios to stop by and give me a ballpark estimate on building a short decorative wall in my front yard. I showed him an example of the look I was trying to achieve, and he made several suggestions on how it could be better. The bid was very reasonable and within my budget. During the process of the job, I asked him to bid on installing an RV driveway made of pavers to match the decorative wall. This was going to be an improvement that I would put off until later when my cash flow would be better. The bid came in at such an attractive price that my wife and I decided to take advantage of the offer. Robert worked with me at every step to arrive at a final result that complemented my property with a mix of functionality and aesthetics. Everyone that walks by the house while we are in the yard feels compelled to say how great the paver work looks. Even though some of the features that were designed in after the original bid cost more, Robert held to his original bid. This goes counter to my experience with contractors who take advantage of every upgrade to make up for the original low bid. Robert and his crew are very hard, careful and meticulous workers, never shirking do what needs to be done. All of them are trustworthy and ethical. I really can't say enough good things about Palacios Masonry. I'm already thinking of my next project for them. If you need any kind of masonry work, block walls, pavers or concrete work, you would do very well to contact Robert at Palacios Masonry.

I did not ask what he pays his workers, but I was certainly interested in how many man hours he felt the job would take because I felt he was overpriced in his estimate. Excuse me for being thorough and asking for enough of an explanation to be comfortable with what felt like a high quote. He might have simply acted like a human being and discussed it with me and even expressed what might have made him uncomfortable. But the fact he acted the way he did means, to me, that he is not trustworthy.

They were professional, hardworking, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire process. The team maintained a clean and organized job site and executed the work with great attention to detail. Scope of Work: Demo existing concrete that was being uplifted by the trees rootball and re-poured concrete while expanding the size of the trees planter. As a landscape designer, it's essential to partner with top-notch contractors, and Miguel's team exceeded expectations. Both my client and I were extremely pleased with the quality of their work and the way the project was handled from beginning to end. I highly recommend Miguel and MAD Concrete to anyone looking for quality concrete work. I'll definitely be partnering with Miguel again on future projects. - Patrick Moreno, Landridge Designs

Miguel at Mad Concrete is the real deal! He was exactly the guy we were hoping to…read morefind--professional, creative, and a problem-solver extraordinaire. From tricky issues like what to do with our water heater to some unexpected stucco challenges, Miguel came up with solutions that were both practical and innovative. Beyond his skills, Miguel is just a genuinely great guy. At one point, he paused our meeting to take a call from his five-year-old on an Apple Watch (rad dad moment!). Great value for the quote he gave us too. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. If you're looking for someone who knows their stuff and brings a little personality to the job, Miguel's your guy!

Ricardo, I appreciate you taking the time to reply, but I…read moreneed to correct the record on a few points. This wasn't a case of us going silent and then springing complaints on you after the fact. You were called multiple times about the issues with the lawn and hardscape, and I sent you photos documenting exactly what needed attention: pavers that were chipped and needed to be replaced, sections of grass that needed to be redone, and rocks the size of a computer that were dug out from underneath the sod after installation. That's not normal settling or post-installation damage on my end -- that's material that should never have been under the turf in the first place. I did my part in reaching out and giving you the chance to come out and make it right. The follow-through and the level of expertise just weren't there. On the grass itself: you specialize in turf, and that's exactly why I relied on your recommendation. A cool-season variety on a south-facing lawn in the Santa Clarita heat was the wrong call from the start. That's precisely the kind of judgment call that should have come from your expertise -- not something I should have had to catch myself as a homeowner. And the grading, plainly, is still bad. It wasn't caused by me digging around to troubleshoot brown spots -- it was there before that, and digging to investigate a problem you hadn't resolved doesn't change that the base grading was off to begin with. I want to be fair here: you're a genuinely nice person, and I did tell you early on that I was satisfied and would consider recommending you to neighbors. That was true at the time. But the issues that surfaced since then, and the lack of resolution on things I'd already flagged, are what led me to write the review I did. I

David, your response contains factual statements that are not accurate, and I have timestamped…read morecamera footage documenting the timeline. The installation did not take three days. The main installation began Monday and was essentially completed that same day. Two workers returned briefly Tuesday morning, after which you told me the project was finished and collected my final payment. You also previously told me that you returned Monday to check the work. I reviewed my camera footage and could find no evidence that you returned that day. Your statement that I "could not be bothered" is also false and insulting. I was working at my job. In fact, I interrupted a work meeting and went outside when I saw your crew accessing my underground sprinkler area. I hired you to manage this project and supervise your crew. I was not supposed to repeatedly leave my own job to supervise yours. As for your statement that I "expressed satisfaction at the final walkthrough," I took a quick look while I was between work meetings and, at first glance, the new pavers looked nice. That does not mean I accepted problems I had not yet had an opportunity to discover. You specifically gave me three days to inspect the completed work and report any problems. I reported the problems the very next day. What you also did not tell me when you collected my final payment was that you were about to leave for a week-long vacation. I learned that only after I contacted you about the problems I discovered. Your statement that every issue was addressed by your company is also not accurate. During the original installation, a sprinkler was damaged and my gardener repaired it. After you returned from vacation and moved the drain that had been installed in the wrong location, a second sprinkler line was damaged. I ultimately hired and paid my own sprinkler professional to repair that damage because, by that point, I no longer wanted you or your crew working on my property. There were also workmanship issues with the pavers, including the area around my custom-built catio, where the door was left jammed and unable to open properly, poorly cut pavers, and an area that was not flat or level. My backyard was left with sand everywhere, construction debris, dug-up grass and even the crew's lunch trash. I stand by my review and my description of my experience. I have photographs, messages and timestamped camera footage documenting both the condition of my property and the timeline described above.
