We had an incredible experience working with Nir and his crew. I didn't know about All County. I…read moresimply found Nir on Yelp, and requested an in person meeting. But the thing that jumped out at me, even before I met him in person, was his pride in work. Anyone who posts this many photos of his projects is clearly proud of what they do. I always want to work with someone who loves what they do, and it was clear that Nir does.
Upon meeting Nir and discussing our design ideas, It became clear that he could do anything. He was full of great ideas. And at the same time he was responsive and respectful of my ideas. So many times I've met with contractors that are quick to change everything I propose - whether its a difference of taste, or a need to prove value. With Nir, it was like I had a partner in crime. Someone who could imagine what I was seeing, and tell me how to improve upon each and every detail.
However, most importantly, Nir was easily the most reliable, honest and straight-forward contractor I've ever worked with. He did what he said he was going to do. Aside from the changes I made along the way (which did cost me some), he charged me what he said he would. And if he said he was going to be there to work, he was there working. And if he saw a delay coming, for whatever reason, he warned me. It's very hard for anyone who works in the service industry to deliver bad news to clients. Nir understands that it's better to speak openly and honestly, than to disappoint his clients. I was never surprised with Nir. I always knew what was going on. If I texted him with a question, he responded right away. If I called him, he answered (What a revelation!) If I had a problem or wasn't happy with something, he addressed it. Their are a lot of contractors out there who do great work. But for me, great service and reliability are the tie-breakers, and All County won me over there, big time. When we started this project, Nir was a stranger. A random business owner that I found on yelp. At the completion of our project, I really do consider him a friend.
Construction is never fun. But in the end, we have a new backyard that we're absolutely in love with. A gorgeous modern covered pergola (with recessed lighting), 4000 sq ft of sand finished concrete, hundreds of feet of retaining and barrier walls, frameless IPE gates, an entirely new lawn & irrigation system, and a 50 foot long wood slatted patio cover. I've given Nir's phone number to at least 20 friends, and I will continue to do so in the future. Thank you Nir and all the crew.
