They managed our budget thoughtfully, stayed right on schedule, and were incredibly easy to work with. Communication was clear and consistent, and you could tell they genuinely cared about getting everything right. A huge shoutout to Andrew, John, Cynthia, Manuel, and John-- to name just a few. Andrew and Cynthia have such an eye for spatial layout and plant selection- they are such artists, guiding us through what trees, flowers, and shrubs would work in our climate and created the most beautiful space. They took our vision of a "Napa meets Big Sur" courtyard and brought it to life in a way that exceeded expectations. Their knowledge, creativity, and attention to detail were incredible, and they're also just lovely, fun humans to collaborate with. Element is truly a team of good people who do great work. If you're considering an outdoor project, we can't recommend them highly enough.

Their work is superb. I regularly get compliments on my pool and hot tub including the cover and decking. The lights are amazing and the "Horusicky Blue" color of the pebble tech is gorgeous. Mike's recommendations were always on point and I'm glad I listened to his ideas. His crew were always clean and tidy and polite; especially when we were working at home during construction. The quality of the finished product was wonderful. Since completing construction his company services the pool weekly. Any issues and he has a team or engineer out same day to evaluate; that's why it's great using a local company. I strongly recommend them for a new or remodeled pool. I wouldn't use anyone else.

My story matches R.P.'s and Kambiz's, and others I met after the mistake of hiring Horusicky…read more In October 2024, I hired Horusicky Construction (aka Horusicky Pools; Horusicky Pools & Hardscape LLC) to build a 14'x28' saltwater pool with a mini-pebble finish and auto-cover; replace our tandem 3-car driveway with a 30' side-by-side driveway; and build two concrete patios. We agreed to a contract value of $185,000 ($130K for the pool, $55K for hardscaping) with a 5-month timeline and the pool being finished first. By February 2025, I was billed $141,000. By June 2025, despite having paid 76% of the contract value, I had nothing beyond a concrete pit, a demolished driveway, and destroyed gates leaving our home completely unsecured. After numerous attempts to get Horusicky to finish failed, I hired a Certified Pool Inspector who confirmed my suspicions: Horusicky repeatedly misrepresented the work. He led me to believe multiple inspections passed and only a day of work remained. The City Building & Safety office confirmed post-termination that he completed only 1 out of 13 required inspections. He also utilized a tactic I know he uses on other victims: leaving contracts intentionally vague so he can later demand more money for basic necessities. Six months in--after demolishing our driveway--he claimed the necessary driveway approach work was not included. Expanding a driveway from 9' to 30' while leaving a 6' approach leaves 21' of unusable space. Effectively holding our property hostage with nowhere to park, he indicated this required an additional $10,000 to $15,000 over the contract price. He led us and Public Works to believe he possessed necessary licenses to complete the driveway approach work, which was false. In my opinion, this was a further stalling tactic. When called out on delays, he claimed we obstructed the project with design changes. In reality, the pool design was locked in October 2024 and the driveway in December 2024. The only modifications after that were to the 2 patio locations, resulting from him suddenly finding 'issues' with plans he previously agreed to. These solutions always required more time and money or an altered layout to resolve. Much like R.P.'s family's experience, the minute you stop accepting excuses, he becomes aggressive & hostile, resorting to bullying and harassment. In June 2025, rather than respond in good faith to a final formal opportunity to cure, he hired an attorney, removed his equipment/porta-potty, and tried to manufacture false narratives easily disproven by actual evidence. I ultimately terminated him for project abandonment after he failed to respond to the formal opportunity to cure. As we subsequently began repairs with licensed contractors we uncovered structural and dimension defects. The cover vault dam wall was built lower than the spa dam wall, meaning the vault would flood completely if the pool were filled to the waterline (we had to build a custom tile ledge to correct his error). Furthermore, the structural dimensions of the spa bench-to-floor ratio were entirely incorrect. A 5'3" person sitting on the bench has feet dangling a foot off the spa floor, with the waterline only reaching their mid-chest. On top of that, the spa jets were positioned so low they had to be manually raised or they would be half buried in the mini-pebble finish, and in one egregious instance, a jet was placed directly into the tile above the waterline. Following an investigation, the CSLB found him in violation of Business and Professions Codes § 7117(a) and § 7159.5, validating that he billed for uncompleted work. Furthermore, regarding Horusicky's public claims on Kambiz's review implying a bond denial somehow vindicates him--this completely misrepresents how the system works. A simple Google search tells you bond claims routinely face standard denials when a contractor signals a willingness to litigate, exploiting the fact that exhausted homeowners lack the funds to fight a lengthy court battle after paying twice for a project to be completed. Further with Horusicky a lawsuit is a financial dead end. Public records show that since 2020, he has been moving business and personal assets out of California and into Arizona (verifiable via the Arizona Corporation Commission & Maricopa County Assessor). Suing Horusicky Construction in California yields an incredibly low chance of actual financial recovery because he retains no material assets here to collect on. Furthermore, his bond company, ACIC, is currently the subject of an active California Department of Insurance investigation (Complaint #8741597) regarding its claims handling practices. Do not let his posturing fool you. In my opinion, this business model relies on billing aggressively ahead of the work then leaving California residents with unfinished projects, using legal delays, hiding behind out-of-state assets, and leveraging a cooperative bond company to avoid accountability.

They showed up on time, brought all their own supplies and fixed it so fast I was able to negotiate painting an entire other room (reasonably priced). All in 1 day! They're very professional, cleaned up the areas after they finished and overall kind people you can trust in your home. Next will be my wood floors and I plan using them for that portion as well. This company is a hidden treasure - I'm SO glad I found. Sharing it with my friends. :) T

We recently had our home treated for termites and had a lot of wood damage that needed to be both replaced and repaired. I contacted Rene via telephone and he was able to come out the next day to look at the damaged areas. Later, via email, he sent me an itemized quote detailing the work that would be performed along with the payment structure based upon the proposed work process. I contacted several other contractors in order to perform a price comparison but one never got back to me and the other two never showed up for the scheduled appointment. I liked Rene from the start and so I decided to proceed with Creative Coating and take my chances. It was probably one of my best decisions in recent years! Both Rene and Juan (who did most of the actual work) were PHENOMENAL! The price was fair and the workmanship was OUTSTANDING. Their attention to detail is unbelievable and they saw and fixed things that I had never even noticed. In addition, Juan went beyond the call of duty and painted a door frame that I had neglected to finish painting on my own. He arrived early and cleaned up the area each and every day. He, like Rene, was very cordial, polite and respectful. This was one of the most pleasant experiences I have ever had with a contractor. We will soon be having them come back to power wash our house and make some additional repairs to the stucco. I've already referred Creative Coating to several family members and I am sure they will be just as pleased. I only wish that I had taken before pictures so that you could see the quality of their work. If you need contracting work done, do not hesitate to contact Rene at Creative Coating Systems. They do a lot more than wood work. It never hurts to ask and I am sure that you will be very satisfied with the answer and the quality of their work. BTW - Take a look at the non recommended reviews and you'll see that Creative Coating Systems is consistently praised. Not a single negative review to be found.

Victor was exceptional with communication throughout the process and always made sure to confirm details with me before moving forward. His son Sebastian and daughter Penelope were also with him every time he visited the project. All three were extremely kind, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Sebastian even made a few suggestions that ultimately led us to pivot to a slightly different design, which we ended up loving. The entire project went incredibly smoothly, and we couldn't be happier with the finished retaining wall. Victor and his family were reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly cared about making sure we were happy with the final result. I would absolutely recommend Belman Pavers and look forward to working with them on future projects!

He listened to the ideas we had for the design of the yard and gave some suggestions without being pushy. He met us at the store that sold the material and helped us choose the stone and color for the look we were trying to achieve. The work was done in a short amount of time without it being rushed through and in spite of the fact that we were newbie's at this and had ideas that didn't always work. We were so pleased with the end result that we immediately had the driveway and front walkway done as well as the area around the driveway pedestrian gate. Roger's reasonable price allowed us to complete that job as well and, like the backyard, was sorely needed. That job was also done in less than a week. Now, both areas look amazing and I can now relax since the sight of them no longer makes me crazy. Overall, Genesis Stoneworks was the right choice for us and we are very happy with the results. I definitely recommend giving them a call if you're in the market for some great hardscaping. Now, I am off to search for the perfect outdoor furniture.
