They had not only the best price but also were so kind and patient as I changed the design I had in mind multiple times. They gave me plenty of options to work with our budget. Absolutely amazing work! Not only did they do exactly what I pictured but the quality was beyond our expectations! They cleaned up after themselves which is something that is extremely important to me during construction. Their communication with me was perfect and the was done in time and efficiently. I will definitely be recommending them to family and friends!

We had an excellent experience with Danny and My Cali Builders installing artificial turf at our…read morerental property in Thousand Oaks. What made this project especially important to us was that we managed the entire job remotely from our home in Northern California. Danny made that process remarkably easy. He communicated consistently, answered every question thoroughly, sent frequent photos and videos, and kept us informed throughout the preparation and installation. We never felt out of the loop. The quality of the work was outstanding. Their team removed the existing decomposed granite, properly prepared and graded the area, installed and compacted a base, added the weed barrier, carefully laid and trimmed the turf around curved borders and existing stepping stones, secured the edges and seams, applied the upgraded zeolite infill, and power-broomed the finished surface. They clearly cared about the details--not just whether it looks good on installation day. Danny also stood out during the bidding process. We received several quotes, and he was transparent about the exact turf product, specifications, backing, base preparation, and infill options. He did not simply recommend the most expensive upgrade. Instead, he explained what he believed was the best balance of durability, appearance, and long-term value for a family rental property. That honesty gave us a great deal of confidence. The finished yard looks great. The turf has a lush, natural appearance, the curved edges and transitions were handled beautifully, and the existing pavers, mature landscaping, and black lava-rock planter areas were preserved and integrated very well. Most importantly, our tenants are thrilled with the result, and so are we. Danny and his crew were professional, responsive, easy to work with, and clearly took pride in doing a quality job. Managing a major landscaping project from several hundred miles away could have been stressful, but they made it straightforward and reassuring. We would absolutely recommend My Cali Builders to anyone considering artificial turf or outdoor improvements. They earned every one of these five stars.

After being treated badly by two previous contractors and wasting a significant amount of money on…read morework that added little value to our properties, we knew we couldn't afford another mistake. Ironically, both of those contractors had been recommended by people we knew. That experience taught us an important lesson: we needed to do our own research and find someone we could truly trust. Danny was actually my favorite candidate from the beginning when I started collecting bids in late 2023. His quote wasn't the cheapest, and at first I questioned the price. Later, Danny explained something he called the "salami tactic." Some contractors intentionally submit low bids by leaving out critical work that inexperienced homeowners don't know to ask for. Those missing items eventually become expensive change orders, and the surprises never seem to end. We experienced exactly that. One previous contractor knew our electrical system couldn't support the appliances we planned to install, yet he simply said, "Anything you want." The project looked good on the surface, but it wasn't done properly. We eventually had to open finished walls again just to upgrade the electrical system. What I appreciate most about Danny is his honesty. He never told us what we wanted to hear just to win the job. He explained what actually needed to be done, why it mattered, and what could happen if shortcuts were taken. Sometimes those conversations weren't easy, but looking back, he was protecting our investment, not trying to increase the bill. Throughout the project, Danny communicated clearly, answered every question patiently, and treated our renovation as if it were his own. When unexpected issues came up--as they often do in a 100-year-old building--he didn't disappear or make excuses. He solved them. Even after the project was substantially completed, he came back to address the remaining punch-list items. That level of responsibility is rare. Today we have a duplex we're truly proud of, and more importantly, we have confidence that it was built correctly and safely. If you're looking for the lowest bid, Danny may not always be your contractor. But if you're looking for honesty, integrity, craftsmanship, and someone who genuinely cares about your project, I can recommend Danny and the entire MY CALI BUILDERS team without hesitation. After everything we've experienced over the past few years, earning our trust was not easy. Danny and his team earned it.

They did this project for us while we were out of state. And their communication is so good that we were comfortable with it.

There were many color options for pavers. The job was done quickly and they had good suggestions for us. Isaac and his team were easy to work with and were very agreeable. Our neighbors liked the results so they asked for the information on who did our yard. The bad: They didn't have the turf I wanted initially but they did order it for us! The rain delayed the project a little bit. The interesting: They did our artificial turf too so they aren't limited to pavers. They bring their own portapotty. I was surprised many workers worked with their bare hands!

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 can't recommend Pinedas Masonry enough! As the owner-builder of my ADU project, finding reliable…read moresubcontractors was one of the most important parts of the process, and Victor and his team exceeded every expectation. I originally hired Victor to install pavers in my front patio and backyard. From day one, he was always on time, communicated clearly, and delivered outstanding craftsmanship. His professionalism and attention to detail made the entire experience stress-free. Because of how well that project went, I hired him again to build the foundation for my ADUs and recreation room. Throughout the project, my structural engineer created several unexpected challenges and design revisions that could have easily delayed construction. Instead of seeing them as problems, Victor came up with practical, cost-effective solutions that kept the project moving forward and even helped keep me ahead of schedule. As an owner-builder managing my own ADU project rather than using a general contractor, I really appreciated having someone like Victor who was knowledgeable, proactive, and easy to work with. He didn't just complete the work--he helped me solve problems and navigate the construction process with confidence. His pricing was fair, and the quality of his work was exceptional. The best confirmation came during the inspections. The city inspector was genuinely impressed with the quality of the foundation work and the attention to detail on both the ADUs and the recreation room. That speaks volumes about Victor's craftsmanship and commitment to doing the job right. If you're looking for a masonry contractor who is dependable, communicates exceptionally well, provides solutions instead of excuses, and takes pride in delivering high-quality work, I highly recommend Victor and Pinedas Masonry. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for future projects.

WORST COMPANY you could ever hope to find. If there were a reality show for the most incompetent…read moreconstruction company with the lowest ethical business practices, Vitoli would win by a landslide. Speaking of landslides, the infinity spa they built on our hill was done incorrectly so needs to be rebuilt so as to not send chlorinated water rushing down the mountain with each use. For now, we have to limit to two people despite its 10 person capacity. Yeah, and that's just the beginning. We had a $220,000 budget to build a dream yard in an estimated 6 months, but they built all of the retaining walls incorrectly so add an 18-month delay as we sorted out problems with permitting, during which time much of the existing part of the yard was damaged. They forgot to run a water line to the sink and ice maker in the outdoor kitchen rendering them useless, put the incorrectly built walls in the wrong place entirely, built a fence that fell down...for a more complete list please see attached photos. When we hired them, they promised a foreman would be on site at all times but in fact, they had a project manager on site only about 10% of the time and I'm being generous. We loved the workers and I would wake up early each morning to bake breakfast treats and brew coffee for them, however they would often come to us in confusion for direction without a foreman, but we had a language barrier even my best intentions couldn't overcome and grave mistakes were made. Each attempt at demanding said foreman only yielded increasingly angry calls from the owner, who went so far as to call us racists, sometimes with threats of leaving the project or suing us. We paid in full as projects were completed as per our contract, all $220K, but were not refunded for the many parts done incorrectly, and were instead made promises that simply weren't kept. With no less than $50K left to do, we finally kicked them off of our property when they started refusing to complete items -- we simply decided to remove the toxicity from our lives. Particularly evil was their pool equipment installer Bernardo who we caught in multiple lies and who was wont to covering his high level of incompetence by accusing us of "sabotaging our own project." Absolutely ludicrous, yes, but the owner went with it, I suppose it was easier than dealing with more wretched errors on their part. Meanwhile, if there was a corner that could be cut, they found it, and always at our expense. When we first were shut down by the county, I looked here on Yelp and to my dismay, found many negative reviews. They have since disappeared somehow so before writing my review, I reached out to YELP corporate, who assured me mine would remain. As I try to enjoy my unfinished dream yard, it occurs to me that all I can do at this point is protect as many people as I can from falling victim to companies such as Vitoli. Had I been smarter I would have asked for references or gone with a company recommended to me. Beware The Home Mag as they don't vet their advertisers at all, they don't even require proof that photos used are actually work done by said company, they need nothing but the ad copy and money to qualify and so I would argue that the companies that advertise in The Home Mag are ones whose work doesn't merit a good referral and so they advertise instead. Vitoli often graces their cover, which makes sense... The owner promised to fix it all, said he'd take care of us and we believed him to be sincere. But now all I have left is an unfinished yard and no funds to finish it. Shameful, but all true. I believe I know exactly what the response to this review will be, but I will endure it for the sake of helping others. Please note my other reviews, as they are a healthy mix of good and bad -- that is what I understand the purpose of Yelp to be.

I just completed my front and backyard remodel with Sustainable Solutions. Before choosing them, I…read moregot several quotes, including from a large company that provided computer-generated designs. I knew Valter/Sustainable Solutions had done the hardscaping at my house about 10 years before I bought it, so I already knew his work was solid and stood the test of time. I chose Valter because he was the only person who really listened to my specific vision rather than pushing his own standard, cookie cutter ideas. His team extended my pavers, built two new fences between my neighbors, created a perfect dry riverbed, and even installed artificial turf. If it involves an outdoor renovation, chances are they can do it! What really sets Sustainable Solutions apart is Valter. He is personable, responsive, and genuinely cares. His prices are fair (not necessarily the cheapest) but the quality was excellent and it's his own team doing the work not sub contractors. Most importantly, he didn't lowball the estimate and then upcharge me as the project went along. I always felt I was being treated fairly. I had such a good experience that his team will now be doing a project at my elderly mother's house. That probably says more than anything about how much I trust him. I can't recommend Valter and Sustainable Solutions highly enough. If you're considering an outdoor renovation, call them!
