Along with that and the fact they are licensed and have the Yelp guarantee made it an easy decision. It helped that Mr. Miranda was very nice, no pressure (unlike others!), and won my confidence. He was prompt from estimate to completion. My husband was out of town and also appreciated how we were treated and the work performed. I could go on and on about the work, but a picture is worth a 1000 words!

I am a homeowner in Pinole. I am not connected with the contractor other than as a customer. I…read morefirst became aware of Federal Paving Systems in 2005 when they replaced my next door neighbors concrete driveway, stairs, and small patio with pavers. They were very happy with their work and I thought it looked great. So when my driveway needed replacing in 2013, I called them first because I noticed how good the neighbors' pavers looked over time, and that the work had held up very well. Deivide quoted a fair price for the job and his crew completed the work on schedule. My wife and I were very happy with the results. In 2016 we dug out and renovated the basement of our house to create a guest unit. We needed to enlarge and completely replace the old concrete patio adjacent to it in our rear yard and build stairs from the patio down into the garden. We were going to use flagstone, however, all the quotes were very high so we decided to use Belgard patio pavers and called FPS again. The price was about a 1/3 of what we had been quoted for Flagstone. The entire job turned out beautifully and we have gotten many compliments since it has been installed. Deivide also stands by his work. Whenever there has been something that arose which needed correcting, he responded and took care of it. He is experienced, professional and easy to work with.

Beware of these guys, not worth dealing with.

Things changed and we ended up using Edwin and his crew for this project! The other contractor we…read morewere going to work with gave us a funny feeling and we decided to give Edwin a call back to see if he was still interested in the project. When I reached out to him again, he immediately stopped by to talk about our goals and vision for the repairs and overall look. He gave me a very competitive updated quote, and generally put me and my husband at ease about the project. We really felt like it was collaboration where we were able to go back and forth with ideas. Edwin and his crew were always making great suggestions to help things look their best and be the most functional. I wanted to do some of the painting and finishing work myself (trying to be handy/creative) and got several great tips from Edwin and his crew. Every day they arrived on time and kept the work area so clean and tidy. We loved working with them and will be sure to use Edwin again for our future projects!

They removed several junipers from the yard, installed a tiered retaining wall, took care of the drainage, and planted several trees. See the pictures for yourself with the curved retaining walls. Granted, I liked to design myself, so I gave him several schematics or pictures, and Pedro always delivered. Whether it was a fence, netting above my pond to hold back leaves, or a bridge for my pond, the results have been great. And Pedro makes sure you're satisfied. If anything is forgotten or left behind, he always makes sure it's taken care of. Great for the toughest projects, and even monthly yard maintenance. Highly Recommended!!!

Before we worked with Bert, this was a huge issue every time it rained, as water would sleep through the cracks into the crawlspace below. Other contractors wanted us to redo the entire porch, but Bert suggested a more conservative option of redoing only the really bad areas and touching up the rest. He and his crew were super careful to make sure dust didn't get into the house, covering all the windows and porch with plastic before they got to work. Bert also fixed another part of our brick pathway that was sunk lower than the ground level and made it look good as new. During the last few rains, we haven't seen any water seeping below and the porch looks much better aesthetically as well. Bert was great to work with, highly recommend him and his company!!

He charged me less than what he estimated in the end due to the delays and also the actual job taking less time than expected, which was much appreciated. His two crew guys were very friendly as well, I was out gardening the day they installed and they even offered to help me shovel mulch (they could see I was struggling - LOL). Overall a nice experience with Arriaga Masonry.

"Retiling repair job"…read more I have 2 bathrooms with a shower over the tub. The faucet original 1939 fixtures were changed out and replaced with new copper pipes and new faucet handles/shower fixtures.
