My wife and I recently bought a fixer-upper house to call our forever home, and we quickly realized…read morethat the shared wood fence along our property line had been neglected for decades. After looking into replacement options such as wood and vinyl, we decided to invest in a slumpstone wall for its lack of maintenance required and longevity. After consulting with several local masonry contractors, we chose CPF Masonry and it was a great decision! We valued Pat's extensive knowledge of the requirements for a structural wall and their pricing was highly competitive. Pat also demonstrated extreme patience with us during a lengthy pre-construction phase as we were dealing with a difficult neighbor for the project. CPF Masonry managed the entire project from start to finish: tearing down and hauling away the old wooden fence, building the new stone wall, and helping with the cleanup afterwards. The final product looks absolutely phenomenal and completely transformed the aesthetic of our backyard. If you are looking for an honest, highly skilled, and completely reliable masonry team in the Thousand Oaks and Ventura County area, I cannot recommend Pat and the CPF Masonry crew enough!

I definitely recommend them and will have them back for future jobs.

A few hiccups along the way with the final permit but Sam acknowledged the mistake on his end and said he would sign off the edits in the revision phase of construction. I will give an updated review once that time comes. Quality: quality of work was good. Efficient in communication and dealing with a difficult city in a permitting process. Took about 6 months for the permits and the city kicked back for corrections 2x which is pretty standard. Value: felt his pricing was fair and reasonable Customer service: always responds to phone calls. Even after our final payment when we had questions or needed assistance. So not a "take your money" and we are done type of guy Overall impression: would use him in the future for any architectural or structural engineering jobs

We must have worked on at least 50+ projects together just over the last two years and he has always come through with excellent work. His prices are very competitive, his timelines for completion are unmatched, and his work is clear and thorough. He's very responsive, pleasant to work with, and helpful with answering questions on our collaborations. As our companies have worked together a lot, we've all developed a great working relationship that has helped our business grow. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone who needs structural engineering services.

Francisco has always been up front with his structural services in regards to site evaluation, engineering options, building conditions, and building dept. codes. For clients, working with someone who's efficient, knowledgable, and brutally honest, is always a breath of fresh air in this industry. Although, not every client is prepared for this. Francisco always has his client's best interest in mind. We've worked on numerous projects together and I have always received excellent service from him.

Anytime there were any site issues, we evaluated the questionable source with the contractor and client, and resolved the problem as quickly as possible. Bear in mind that all the parties involved in a project have to be engaged as a team in order to establish a proper solution. No job is 100% perfect. I can honestly say that if you're looking for a quality structural engineer, Avila Structural Engineering can provide that service.

Agustin is a licensed contractor, who works side by side with his team, specializing in pavers, concrete and artificial turf. He is backed by a crew of experienced workers all putting their maximum effort to deliver a perfect finished product. Agustin, Jose and crew all came with very positive attitudes, showed a lot of pride in their work and confidence that they could deliver an exceptional end result and they did. The overall experience of doing business with Mega Concrete far exceeded my expectations in many aspects. I couldn't speak more highly of them and I would recommended them to anyone looking for an honest company with fair prices and amazing work ethic. Me and my wife are very pleased with our new pavers and artificial turf. I have uploaded before and after pictures to show the amazing renovation. Thank you Agustin, Jose and team for putting so much care into my project and paying attention to details I didn't even think of. I look forward to working with you again in the future!

I've had the pleasure of working with Luis Dorado at Visual Cad multiple times over the past eight…read moreyears, and I can confidently say he is an exceptional technical drafting professional. Our first project together was a major kitchen renovation, where Luis created detailed plans and successfully expedited them through the permitting process--something that can be daunting without the right expertise. Since then, he has supported me on a whole-house renovation in Lake Balboa, preparing the lot plan, existing conditions, and comprehensive plans for proposed changes. On another complex project, Luis drafted plans to reframe and remove all interior walls on the first floor of a two-story home. He coordinated with a structural engineer to determine how loads could be shifted to the exterior walls, turning a challenging vision into a safe and achievable reality. Visual Cad has also assisted with 3-D renderings, drafting, and tackling technically demanding projects that truly push the limits of what's possible. Luis has a rare ability to clearly explain both the plans and the overall process from start to finish, which makes working with him incredibly reassuring. I genuinely love working with Luis and highly recommend Visual Cad to designers, homeowners, and anyone navigating complex renovations.

We live in Westlake Village and wanted multiple bathrooms remodeled, along with a much larger kitchen that required removing a few walls and really opening up the space. From our first consultation, ODM Construction made the whole process feel much easier. We met at our home first and later at their office to go through everything in more detail. I appreciated that we never felt rushed or pressured. They took the time to explain things, answer our questions, and make sure my wife and I were comfortable with the decisions being made. The project turned out beautifully. Our kitchen feels like a completely different space now, and both bathrooms came out better than we imagined. For such a large remodel, the process was surprisingly smooth. At 65 and retired, I really appreciated having a team I could trust with our home. ODM is family owned, professional, and genuinely made us feel taken care of from beginning to end. My wife and I are very happy we chose them.

It was a daunting task of even trying to wrap our heads around everything that needed to be done, where to go, where to start, what costs would be and so forth. It was an overwhelming and stressful time to say the least. After asking around and not really feeling comfortable with those interactions, I looked towards Yelp for some assistance -- and let's just say it gave us a big fat hug in the form of Shawn and Leeran Goldin. Since we have dealt with a handful of contractors (I'll spare you of the horrendous details), I can speak confidently and state unequivocally that Goldin is a rare gem. Shawn and Leeran are meticulous to boot, VERY professional and courteous, and just all around reallllllly nice guys. As we are complete noobs to this world of construction we didn't have a clue, they were so patient and thorough in answering a gazillion questions and keeping us informed (and calm) through the entire process. They are HIGHLY knowledgeable, honest, caring, and did an incredible job on a complex project that involved planning, extensive demo, rebuilding, renovating, permits/building and safety. Communication was on point consistently -- holidays, after-hours, you name it -- and Shawn and Leeran both are conservative AND realistic with what they quote and anticipate. (My husband and I swear that Shawn has some x-ray vision superpower because he spotted things and pointed out issues within minutes of stepping foot onto the property.) I can assure you that having dealt with so many for our project that GOLDIN stands above the rest and candidly speaking, are the only ones I'd recommend to friends/family. We absolutely adore Shawn and Leeran and after having had so many horrific dealings with other contractors (big and small), I can't imagine trusting a project with anyone else. While working with them, you feel like this is THEIR home -- owning the project from start to finish. Trust me - go with Goldin and spare yourself of months of mishaps and sanity dealing with the unscrupulous companies out there.
