The irrigation pipes were fixed. Thank-you for not leaving me stranded! ............

Kara B.

I recently hired Need For Build to redesign and execute a full backyard sanctuary of my dreams and I am absolutely thrilled with the result. From our first meeting, Mike Watts took the time to really listen. He asked thoughtful questions about how I envisioned using the space, what style I loved, and what practical needs I had. He presented a design that struck the perfect balance of functionality and beauty, weaving in the features I'd been dreaming of and deeply tailored to me.The build quality is outstanding. The crew was professional, punctual, and respectful of my property. The craftsmanship shows in every detail. My backyard is now nothing short of my personal oasis. It's become my favorite place to relax, entertain, and unwind. Every time I walk outside, I feel a sense of calm and joy. If you're looking for a company that will actually deliver on the dream, Mike Watts and Need For Build is absolutely worth it. Thank you to the entire team for bringing my dream backyard to life. -- Kara Brem

Removal of paver stones
Catherine H.

Need for Build transformed my front yard from what was essentially a parking lot of paver stones, to a beautiful oasis! The difference is so stark that many of our neighbors have complimented the work. Isaac, Jonathan, and Mikey were a great team to work with. Working with Need for Build was easy and collaborative. Isaac sent over a proposed landscape design, we worked together to finalize it, and I submitted it to my HOA within a few short days. Due to the way the company staffs its projects, Need for Build was able to get me on calendar within 2 days of my HOA approving my landscape design. During the project, the team was efficient and asked questions when appropriate, to make sure I would be happy with the final product. I was able to give them some direction as the project was ongoing, and they were open to tweaks without issue. They completed the project within 2 weeks--which is exactly within the timeframe they proposed--and we are so happy with the end result. See for yourself! I would absolutely hire these guys again with all my home renovation needs.

Finished master bathroom project.  With new countertops, sinks, faucets, painted cabinets, textured and painted walls.

See all

There was a lot of weeds and overgrown trees, which we wanted to replace with concrete. I had various jobs for him over a two week period. Manuel was great from start to finish. He came quickly for our first estimate for landscaping, and the value was great. His pricing was fair. Him and his crew worked quickly to get the landscaping work done in our backyard - clearing weeds, removing a large guava tree and smaller fruit tree, trimming trees, and cutting ice plants. I was so happy with their work I asked if they could clean our palm trees. The price again was great and they did it in a few hours. After that, I worked with him to get concrete laid in our backyard. The price for concrete was very reasonable. Him and his crew worked efficiently but with quality to get the concrete in our backyard. The whole concrete process took 3 days and I couldn't be happier with the final product. I also had some side projects they completed during their time here - removing a metal shed and replacing a patio cover. Manuel was always great communicating with me and his work was excellent. I would highly recommend using Manual for your landscaping projects and will be using him in the future!

Minez Concrete - Textured Stamped Colored Concrete

We found and recently hired Minez Concrete for a retaining wall project, and I can honestly say…read morethis has been the best experience we've had with a contractor. This is the first time we've worked with someone who showed up on time every single day -- no excuses, no delays -- just consistent, reliable work. Oswaldo and his crew were extremely professional and clearly focused on doing the job efficiently and correctly the first time. Our situation was not simple. We had a retaining wall failure and, during excavation, discovered a pipe that we weren't even sure who it belonged to. Oswaldo went above and beyond by helping us navigate communication with the county and making sure we understood what was going on. He took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, which gave us a lot of confidence. We received six different quotes, but ultimately chose Minez Concrete because we felt the most comfortable with Oswaldo -- and that absolutely proved to be the right decision. He even came out on a Sunday to provide the estimate and was right on time, which says a lot about his professionalism. We are already planning to hire him again for a second retaining wall project that requires permits, and he has already started helping us through that process. I'll update this review once everything is fully complete, but so far, if you need a concrete contractor, Oswaldo and his team are outstanding. Highly recommend. 100 stars!!!!!

A JOB WELL DONE We…read morehave a long concrete driveway that curves up a hill to our home. The driveway is 47 years old and was in need of repairs to the driveway and to replace a low curved concrete wall on one side of the driveway, which was badly damaged by time and a large truck. From the Yelp website, I selected 3 five-star contractors for bids to repair the driveway. I'm in my late eighties and handicapped, but in my younger days I worked in construction starting back in 1952 as an apprentice carpenter. I have worked on many projects where I built forms to pour concrete for homes, high rise buildings, and underground tunnels. I have also worked on cementing casing in oil wells as deep as two miles and I have personally poured and finished concrete at my own home. So needless to say, I know a lot about concrete and construction in general. Now that I'm too old and crippled up to work, I'm always apprehensive when I have to hire men to work for me. All too often you get people who lack the skill and experience to do a proper job and often, they don't care how the job turns out. Then they leave behind a mess for the homeowner to clean up. When Oswaldo Minez came to look the job over prior to submitting a bid, I was very impressed with his knowledge and attitude. He told me he was the son of a father and son business and that was my background as well until my father's early death at a young age. The bid from Minez Concrete was the lowest bid and I gave them the contract. A few days later they called to say they had an unscheduled delay in their next job and they could begin work at our home. Oswaldo said they would show up at 7 AM and to my surprise the crew arrived right on time and every day thereafter. Oswaldo's father, Ramon is in charge of the actual work and I could tell right from the start that Ramon is an old school craftsman. He has trained his crew to be competent workers. Too often companies in southern California show up with a boss, who doesn't know what he is doing, and untrained men hired to work by the day. Not the Minez Company, their men are professional workers, who know their craft. On several occasions I have hired people and had to stand there all day making sure the job was done right and sometimes pitching in myself to do the job. After watching the Minez crew for a short time, I knew we were in good hands and I went back into the house. Every time I came out to observe progress there was Ramon supervising his men while working beside them to give us a first-rate job. The repairs all turned out beautifully and several people have commented upon how nice the driveway looks. To be honest, I wasn't expecting the work to go so smoothly and quickly. It was such a surprise and relief to be treated so well with a beautiful result. Oswaldo kept us informed regarding progress and his suggestions and those of Ramon contributed greatly to the final outcome. If you want a first-class experience at a fair price then hire Minez Concrete. They know what they are doing and they do the job right for a fair price. In today's world, that is rare.

SK Concrete - Foundation

Shafiaq Khouli and his SK Concrete team built on our back yard a 14' x 14' SPA niche including a…read more12' x 12' x 5" reinforced concrete pad, foundation, drainage, three sides surrounding half high retaining walls and embedded SPA electrical wiring conduit. They also installed footing drain (French drain) on the back retaining wall, backfilled with the usual gravel, crushed stone and covered the outside of the walls with installed paneled stone veneer. They also did the initial former structure demolition, debris hauling and the requested earth moving and other necessary small retaining walls reassembly. It sounds like an easy simple job but, believe me, it got complicated quite soon. Along the construction way, I was able to interact with the crew and bounce ideas and corrections which were followed to my customer satisfaction, resulting in more than a very acceptable final product. When the inevitable, beyond his control, the one odd crew helper misbehavior occurred on the job, this contractor immediately corrected it, got on top of the problem and smoothly and quickly we had no more of an issue here. He also facilitated for me the customer to bring my own tile / stone wall-caps products and installer guys, which ended doing a beautiful job we're very proud of. Pricing fair, not inexpensive. Job done acceptable, with your own (the customer) continuous supervision and being able to stop working crew's irreparable mistakes before they happened, however, the final product came out well built and functional as we imagined and expected, we are grateful for that. Thanks again to Shafiaq and SK Concrete for accepting working on our small home project and for including us in their busy commercial and industrial schedule.

There were two spots where he said his crew could do the work, but said it would be really easy for me to do in a couple hours to save some money. Which I really appreciated him not up selling me. Then I received the bid the next day. After we went into contract his team showed up and started the work. It was started on Monday and pouring concrete on Saturday. They were great to work with and respected our house. What I especially appreciated was the care they took to ensure nothing around the house was damaged. This was a pleasant experience and I would recommend SK Concrete to anyone for their big or small project.

Their bid was very competitive, but what stood out even more was the quality of their work and professionalism from start to finish. This was not a simple project. The existing pillars were old, some had been displaced by eucalyptus roots and erosion, and everything sat on uneven terrain. Despite those challenges, they rebuilt and restored the pillars to match the originals while achieving a clean, uniform look across the entire property. The finished result significantly improved the overall aesthetic. The crew was punctual, hardworking, and consistently professional. They were also flexible and accommodating when adjustments were needed, and communication throughout the project was clear and reliable. Rogelio Minez, the owner, runs a tight operation and clearly takes pride in the work being done. I've hired many contractors over the years, and RML Concrete stands out as one of the most competent and professional I've worked with. This was money well spent. I've already recommended them to neighbors and fully expect to hire them again for my driveway. Highly recommended. Jac

I decided on RML based on what they said coupled with their rating, reviews, and photos posted as well as the quoted price. We scheduled for one day but they had an opening sooner and they asked me if I wanted to grab that time slot so I did. They arrived on schedule, squared off the jackhammered area of the driveway, filled the hole with sand and soil, and poured the cement. It looks great. They're professional, thorough, friendly, and do great work. If I ever need more concrete work, I'll be contacting Rogelio first.
