We recently completed a semi-emergent project with Orange County Block Wall with a situation that involved a collapsing retaining wall that was supporting a large, long (100+ feet) glass fence on top. If the glass had fallen, it was potentially lethal to individuals in the backyard of the property below us. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Dan, the owner of OC Block was literally "all over it." Working in tag teams with Irvine Fence for both the retaining wall and the glass fence on top, Dan and his crew responded immediately, and Dan co-ordinated the removal of the dangerous glass, then did a fantastic job of navigating a very narrow space, 20 feet above the neighbors backyard. In literally 18 inches, Dan and his team removed the damaged retaining wall and built a new wall, complete with rebar, internal cement and multiple outer coatings, making a long, beautiful new wall. In-between steps, Irvine Fence set new fence posts in the new wall, which OC Block followed with finish coats and finally the glass fence was replaced. The co-ordination of the two companies was seamless and they were in constant communication with each other (and us). Importantly, Dan and his crew were 100% professional. Not only were they prompt and efficient, but they were skillful, caring and made great effort to protect the neighbors not only from danger, but also from the simple dust and dirt that would normally be present during a wall construction. The new finished product looks fantastic, is completely safe, and Dan's team cleaned every trace of their presence even though a few days earlier they had been mixing concrete and setting concrete blocks with rebar. You would never know that they were there, except by the presence of a beautiful new retaining wall and glass fence. If we could give Dan and his company 10 stars we would. We are very appreciative of how they handled our situation and cannot recommend them highly enough. If you have cement or masonry needs, we highly (very highly!) recommend Orange Count Block Wall. Dan and his team will take good care of you with a quality project at a very fair price. We truly can't thank them enough for all that that they did for us! Thank you Dan and OC Block! read more

Dan and his crew were an an unexpected pleasure to work with! Great work done. Sad that I won't need to work with them in the future as their masonry wall will last forever. read more

Dan and his crew built two block walls for us, and we had a great experience from start to finish. Excellent communication, project management, and construction delivered at a competitive price. Highly recommend! read more

To partially replace a retaining wall, the owner said the footing absolutely did not need to be replaced. Two other businesses said we did and quoted us more. The workers did a great job and avoided garden damage. The owner was easy and pleasant to work with and completed the job in a timely manner. read more

Dan and his team built us a new wall on a major street. They were extremely professional throughout the process. Kept the yard clean while doing their work. Kept to schedule. I highly recommend OC Block Wall for any wall repairs or cement fillings. read more

OC Block Wall repaired and reconfigured a crumbling cement block wall on our property line. We couldn't have been more satisfied with the experience. Dan, Shawna and the crew put us at ease throughout. The service, communication and craftsmanship all exceeded expectations. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I needed to replace an existing block wall so we interviewed a few vendors. Each vendor came in around the same price, but none of them gave us a good feeling except for OC Block Wall. From start to finish, Dan and his team were extremely professional and communicative. They set realistic expectations, handled everything with the city, and couldn't have been nicer. Dan has a hardworking crew who kept things neat and tidy. We would highly recommend OC Block Wall to any of our neighbors and we hope you chose them too. read more

Dan was a highly reliable and professional individual! He embodied professionalism throughout the project. I am pleased to report that the project was completed on time, exceeding expectations. I highly recommend OC Block Wall for their timely, professional, and clean work. read more

Dan and his team were very professional and met their commitments in repairing our block wall in February. When the rains hit, they were on top of the communications with us as the weather adjusted our schedule. I had talked to two other block wall workers, and OC Block Wall really stood out. I would recommend using them or, at the very least, getting their opinion. read more

Dan and his crew did an awesome job replacing/rebuilding my wall after it collapsed from the crazy strong winds. With the on and off rainy weather they were still able to get it done in a week and it looks great and I'm absolutely confident it will withstand any any winds we have in the future! read more

we hired OC Block Wall to build a stucco wall at the rear of our property. after meeting with multiple companies OCBW seemed easy to work with and were priced right. the crew was professional and finished on time. a couple of the crews were the absolute hardest working dudes ive ever seen in my life dripping wet head to toe running through the yard with wheel barrels. Great job would hire them again. read more

I had to have 65 feet of cinder block wall replaced after significant damage from those high winds we had in January. After 6 quotes, I chose Orange County Block Wall. Dan, the owner, was very knowledgeable, friendly, fair with his price, and good with communication and follow-up. His lead on my project, Ramon, and his team completed this job in just 2 days! It was originally a 4-day job. This crew really hustled, and I am very pleased with the end result. It would be a pleasure to recommend Dan, and his company, to family and friends. read more

We just moved into our new home. Found out later (after escrow closed!) that the neighbor tore down the entire block wall between our properties. This wall was also a retaining wall (2 foot height difference, our side the high side) and protecting a pool. We had to build a wall. Our land was sliding into hers. Dan came out and was not only patient but remarkably calm in dealing with the neighbor who was fighting us all the way. I was surprised he actually took the project. Dan's crew worked hard and the finished 2' fall (114"ft long) looks great and straight. Also had to use new city approved plans that build the foundation entirely on our side (she said no to any foundation...?). She also destroyed several new set blocks. She prolonged the time to finish it but was worth the wait. Another company came in and put up a vinyl fence on top of the block wall. Looks great! Price was good (since it was only 2 feet high...) So I tipped because Dan was calm trooper when her and son harassed Dan. If you do need a wall, I recommend at least talking to him. I'll put up pictures within the week. Justin read more

We contracted with O.C. Wall to replace a portion of our block wall. We are very pleased with the quality and workmanship. During the build up of the wall, the crew was very respectful and always cleaned up the area after each day of work. The finished product looks great, and matches the existing wall! Dan, we thank you and your crew! Job well done!! read more

Dan and his crew were fantastic. Fast and efficient. Great work ethic and great quality. I am a property manager and will definitely use these guys again! read more

Dan is the man! He responded quickly, provided a competitive quote (I got 3) and was able to fit my job in quickly. His crew was professional and very nice. They did an amazing job on our retaining wall (40'x3'). I couldn't be happier. read more

Just a block wall repair and replace done by OC Block. The owner Dan was very professional. The crew worked efficiently, it was clear they knew what they were doing. We're happy with result. Fast , reliable and nice. read more

So glad I picked the right person/company for the job. Dan is knowledgeable, professional, responsive and did the job Done & Nicely. Prior picking OC Block wall, I had interviewed three other vendors. Most of them didn't communicate well since I had zero knowledge on this matter. First impression is everything to me. I wanted to work with a company that reliable and professional. Dan took a time to answer all my questions and explained them well. His workers were great too. Each day, they left my house in clean condition and close my gate properly too. Bonus point was, I told Dan we are working parents. He understood how busy we are and if he happened to need anything, he will come in the morning before we go to work. Thanks Dan, we appreciate the smooth experience working with you! My wall & planters look AMAZING! (ps. my neighbor likes the wall too =) ) read more

We enjoyed working with Dan. He and his team were able to come out, make recommendations, and complete our project in a timely manner. He was able to save some of our previous block wall and replace everything that needed to be rebuilt. It came out clean and we are very satisfied. read more

Absolutely amazing and quick job from Orange County Block Wall. They removed the old dilapidated fence shared between our property and neighbor including the overgrown bushes holding up the fence and replaced it with a 6 foot tall block wall per the specifications we discussed. They handled all the city permits and communication with the city of Cerritos. The new wall is a long time overdue and now our property feels safe and secure as the old fence was falling. Not to mention a very reasonable price compared to all the other quotes received. read more

I am very pleased with my finished block wall. Dan was easy to work with and worked with my schedule of other backyard projects in order to complete the wall in a timely manner. He was available via phone/text as needed throughout the project when I had questions. He showed up every day that his workers were here to check in on things and make sure everything was being done correctly. The site was cleaned up neatly upon finish. I highly recommend OC Block Wall. read more

I highly recommend OCBW! We had numerous estmates for about 200 feet of block wall on a property line Being a large job, we wanted to make the right call and we sure did with OCBW. I'll try to be as brief as possible.... - Dan came out on time gave us a fair estimate with all of the details spelled out perfectly on his proposal. Very professional and a nice guy. - The removal of an old fence was done, trenches dug, slabs laid, material delivered, workers showed up every day on time until the job was completed. Clean up was done nicely as well. - Dan was great communicating everything to us and gave us updates as needed. He was ALWAYS available whenever we called or texted. He was also at our home everyday to check on the progress and deal with the city and neighbors. - We did have a neighbor that was very hesitant and kind of tought to deal with. Again, Dan handled everything and handled all of the questions and "what if's" that were thrown his way. It made it much easier for us. With such a large job and the issues that can and did arise, Dan was there anytime we had an issue and handled everything. We couldn't have been luckier to have such a great company to this job. Everything worked out awesome. I can't say enough good things about OCBW. Thanks to OCBW, Dan and the team. read more

High winds and rain were the straws the broke the camels back of my concrete block wall, causing most of it to fall over into the alley that runs behind my house. I called Dan at Orange County Block Wall the same day that it happened and a few things immediately impressed me. 1.) He answered the phone. No voicemail system. No talking to multiple people to get to the "guy that really knows his stuff." The other contractors I called...all went to voicemail. 2.) He showed up the same day and put up security fencing for me - which was huge for my peace of mind considering the back property line of my home was now open to a public alley. The other contractors I called wanted to come out anywhere from 1 to 5 days later. 3.) He had an estimate in my hands within a few hours of showing up and promised to handle the whole permit process with the city. The other contractors I called had not even returned my calls by the time I had the estimate from Orange County Block Wall. We chose to work with Dan and Orange County Block Wall. Our homeowner's insurance signed off on his bid immediately and the work started. His guys did a great job with the new wall and hit every deadline. The new wall looks great! If you need any concrete block wall work done - please give Dan and the Orange County Block Wall team a chance to earn your business. You will not be disappointed. read more

Wow, called and spoke to the guy and he looked at my project drawings and said it's too small for me to bid on it (it is a pretty small project) but then proceeded to spend 20 minutes explaining what to do, how to do it for the cheapest, and what to watch out for. Gave me my options legally and otherwise should I choose to go that route but warned me about it thoroughly. I highly recommend this company for the owners extensive knowledge of his craft and I wish we could have done business together. Maybe in the near future. read more

Unfortunately wasn't able to help me with my project as it was out of scope and required a structural engineer instead, but still took the time to answer my questions and point me in the right direction. Thank you for the help! read more

O.C. BLOCK WALL built a 175' long slump stone 6 foot high wall that is absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship is exceptional. We also had a sidewalk and driveway with brick ribbon poured and it looks great. Dan and his crew were a pleasure to do business with. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND O. C. BLOCK WALL! read more

It's very hard to get a hold of anyone here. Called about a month ago and sent an email and never heard from anyone and today decided to give them another shot. Called this morning and left a message. The owner called at 7pm and said they don't work in La Habra even though it's in Orange County and on there website it shows they work in La Habra. Kinda glad I didn't hire them now read more

Orange County Block Wall - Shows they work in La Habra, that's a lie - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

I hired Dan based on the great reviews/ratings that he received here on Yelp, and having seen his finished work product, I'm glad that I did. He quoted a 1 day price which included labor, materials, overhead, profit for a 3-4 man crew. Very happy with the workmanship and end product. The project involved a three wall repair job, dealing with the original block walls that were installed in 1963. He did a decent job of matching the color and style of brick, and like I said, I was very satisfied with the end product. I would highly recommend OC Block Wall - Dan for your next job. read more

Thought Dan wasn't returning my calls, Just talked to him and everything is great. So much so that he is behind on returning calls. More reviews to follow. Dan is stopping by in a week or two read more

Dan did a gorgeous block wall for us and it was installed so professionally. The block color he chose was very nice and we get lots of compliments on it when we have guests over. Very satisfied with this company. read more

Would most definitely recommend Dan for your blockwall construction! He was fair with pricing - accurate on timing, from start to finish and like a true professional, handled all permits, inspections and any minor snags that arose. Most importantly to us, his communication was outstanding and he remained very accessible throughout the project... something just not seen enough these days, at least not with contractors we've encountered. Don't hesitate, hire OC BlockWall and breathe easy. read more

Our property sits slightly below our neighbor and after we completed some construction, our side yard needed to be reworked to make it usable. We also had a planter that became unusable, really an eyesore, and took up a large portion of our backyard. Our general contractor provided a very expensive bid and he suggested we get a bid from another contractor who specializes in retaining walls. I found OC Block Wall and Dan came over in a very timely manner to look at what we had. He took some measurements and we talked about what we wanted and what he could do. Dan provided a very reasonable and more appropriate bid than our general contractor. Dan was upfront with when his crew could start the work, breakdown on payments and was very communicative throughout the process. City inspections passed with flying colors. The crews that worked for Dan were extremely hard working, cleaned up after themselves and did an excellent job. We got a lot of compliments from family, friends and neighbors throughout the process. The retaining wall looks clean and really is beautiful. With the retaining wall in place, it also opened up our backyard and now provides us with more usable space. I recommend Dan, his company and his crews to anyone who needs this type of work done. Thank you, Dan!!!! read more

I called and left Dan a message asking to get a quote on a dividing wall for my property. A couple of days later Dan called back, he seemed professional and helpful. He asked what would be a good time for him to come out, I stated you tell me the day and time and I'll be here. He didn't show up at the 4:00 time he asked for,,, he didn't call. My wife and I decided to take the dog for a walk at 4:30, when we got back an hour later there was a message on my phone, "this is Dan, I'm 45 minutes late and I apologize.... bla bla bla". He canceled the appointment, the appointment at the time he set, and stated I have a little more flexible schedule tomorrow and should be able to make it at about the same time..... call me if that works for ya. A couple of things here: / It's obvious you knew you wouldn't make the appt well in advance, so call AHEAD of the appointment and ask to reschedule. / If you can't make the appointment time you've GOT to try to make it there the same day. / WHY would anyone do work with a contractor who can't be on time to make the appointment he scheduled and not have the courtesy to call ahead to state so. / I worked in customer service for over 30 years, never cancel an appointment you scheduled and act like you're doing the customer a favor by fitting them in because you have a day with a more "flexible" schedule. In conclusion, it's possible that Dan is too busy to even do the work I requested, having been in a business that at times was impossibly busy I know what that's like, but if that's the case it's better to be honest and state such to the customer. Another possibility is Dan overlooked or forget about the appointment, and WOW,,,, that's possibly even worse. Or maybe Dan just does business this way and is, unfortunately, successful at it,,, another WOW. Regardless of the reason, this is just plain terrible CS, no apology covers this. read more

Fast, easy and great quality. All you can ask for on a project like this

Five stars!! What an easy process! Impeccable work!! 60' block stucco wall in a week! Permits lined up no waiting days in between. If I had any questions Dan was back with a text or phone call within a half hour. His guys were neat and clean every day. My dogs were no problem. Hire this company! Fair pricing as well! read more

I cannot say enough about how very pleased I am with the experience I had with Orange County Block Wall and Dan Schwartz! I waited years to have my ugly, old wooden fence replaced because I feared choosing the wrong contractor. But from the very first day I knew I had chosen the right contractor. Dan was very specific and detailed in his proposal, great at communicating and updating me, stopped by regularly to monitor the job, handled the building permits, and was professional in every way. His crew was diligent and very hardworking and built a beautiful wall all while maintaining the site in a very orderly manner which was important to me. Dan Schwartz made this a very positive and easy experience for me and thanks to OCBW I now have the beautiful block wall I waited years for! read more

First appointment I had he called at the appt time said he was running late, then called 45 minutes later and cancelled. Waited 10 days for him to reschedule and had to track him down. New appointment set. He does show up on time. I have probably 170+ feet of block wall to have done. He said I would have his quote within a day. It's been over 2 weeks and nothing. No quote, no followup. read more

If you need a block wall, retaining wall, brick wall, anything that has "wall" remotely in the word, you call Dan. I only wish Dan fixed and built other stuff too because anyone out there that has dealt with a contractor knows the long list of shortcomings to be expected. But Dan isn't your typical contractor. On time? Check. Accessible via phone? Check.. Seriously. Accessible via phone? Check. Cleanliness of crew? Check. Respectable and professional? Check. Affordable? Very check. Oversight of job? Check. Listens to customer's needs? Check. I won't bore you with the details but we had a semi difficult project. 190 linear feet of hillside footing and split face block wall for our glass fence. We had 18 contractors come bid the job. Trust me, it's not because we were picky. 70% of them thought they were God's gift to structural engineering and didn't really want to listen to what we wanted. The other 30% thought the cost of the job should cover a new BMW for their wives. We never had those problems with Dan. He did what WE asked of him and he was always quick to resolve any problems that came up. And his price was so reasonable that I was worried that I might be getting what I paid for, in a not-so-good way...but that was far from the truth. The final product and experience was worth so much more than what we paid. read more

My husband and I highly recommend OC Block Wall. We wanted to replace a rotting wooden fence with a slump stone block (to match a slump stone wall on the other side of the property). Dan came out, walked me through the process, took measurements, and listened to my concerns. We had a privacy issue with the house next door, and Dan assured me that the wall could be built such that we would eliminate that problem. We also wanted to pour a concrete slab down the side of the house after the wall was up, as there was only dirt there before. Dan made a couple of esthetic suggestions, and I liked what he suggested. The estimate came in immediately, and it was priced competitively. We talked to 3 other block wall installers, and not one of them impressed us like Dan did. The job was completed on time, on budget, and the crew did a great job with the cleanup. The wall and the cement slab look great, and done just like we discussed. He even came back after the cleanup to make sure that it had been done to our satisfaction. We highly recommend Dan and Orange County Block Wall--you will get quality work done professionally and most pleasantly. read more
