I could go on and on about the work, but a picture is worth a 1000 words!

His team started work in the next week and the whole job was professionally done after four days. He knows every aspect of residential construction and can come up with creative solutions for whatever issues you're having. He handled three issues on our property--a back-up sump pump, a downspout that was bringing water back into our house instead of to the street, and some washout from underneath one corner of our foundation from years of rainwater running where it shouldn't. He also repaired a mudsill that was damage by rats. My family is very pleased with Edwin's work and are feeling confident that future rains won't lead to more interior damage in the future.

They removed several junipers from the yard, installed a tiered retaining wall, took care of the drainage, and planted several trees. See the pictures for yourself with the curved retaining walls. Granted, I liked to design myself, so I gave him several schematics or pictures, and Pedro always delivered. Whether it was a fence, netting above my pond to hold back leaves, or a bridge for my pond, the results have been great. And Pedro makes sure you're satisfied. If anything is forgotten or left behind, he always makes sure it's taken care of. Great for the toughest projects, and even monthly yard maintenance. Highly Recommended!!!

I called to remind them. I think someone else commented on timeliness. Overall, we're satisfied.

He was helpful in answering any questions I had, and provided his recommendations to ensure our desired outcome was met. We went with some non-traditional colored concrete and concrete stamp patterns and it turned out better than we could have ever imagined.

Their work is very precise and has a high level professional finish. Originally we weren't planning on doing cemented flagstone or a retaining wall, but after a site visit Henry suggested we make those changes and was able to work with our budget for this major upgrade. It was 100% the right decision especially for our kids to run around safely. He also made some great suggestions for design changes such as capping the concrete wall and installing lights. Overall the team is very professional, works quickly and efficiently, and use materials very wisely so there isn't any waste.

Before we worked with Bert, this was a huge issue every time it rained, as water would sleep through the cracks into the crawlspace below. Other contractors wanted us to redo the entire porch, but Bert suggested a more conservative option of redoing only the really bad areas and touching up the rest. He and his crew were super careful to make sure dust didn't get into the house, covering all the windows and porch with plastic before they got to work. Bert also fixed another part of our brick pathway that was sunk lower than the ground level and made it look good as new. During the last few rains, we haven't seen any water seeping below and the porch looks much better aesthetically as well. Bert was great to work with, highly recommend him and his company!!

Absolutely 5 stars!…read more Bert helped us with a huge brick wall in our 1928 home. He was patient, helpful, and responsive even before starting the job.

The work itself was done to a high standard and you can tell he is a true craftsman. Highly recommend!

Francisco ordered a chimney cap within my budget and his team reconstructed the chimney so we are now water safe. It took awhile due to back ordering of the cap, plus had to wait out all the rain (which went on and on and ON), but he was very communicative giving updates via text periodically. He charged me less than what he estimated in the end due to the delays and also the actual job taking less time than expected, which was much appreciated. His two crew guys were very friendly as well, I was out gardening the day they installed and they even offered to help me shovel mulch (they could see I was struggling - LOL). Overall a nice experience with Arriaga Masonry.

It took about 1.5 months from initial consultation to project start, since Francisco was backlogged. But when the team arrived, it took only a week to get the job done. Throughout the process, whenever we had questions, Francisco was very communicative both in person and over email as well. Would absolutely hire again!

"Retiling repair job"…read more I have 2 bathrooms with a shower over the tub. The faucet original 1939 fixtures were changed out and replaced with new copper pipes and new faucet handles/shower fixtures. TD had to reuse saved original tiles and add new tiles in an esthetic and symmetrical style to complement the original existing tub enclosures. TD did a wonderful job, left the site clean and neat. This job required sanding to smooth cut out tiled edges, size, cut & insert green board, apply mortar, design and space out new and old tiles, regrout it to create a complementary style to the existing tub surround. I have used him 2x already and will do so in the future. Highly recommend.
