This experience was great from beginning to end! Joe, from Shading Solutions contacted me, we made…read morean appointment. He was accommodating with my schedule and showed up on time- actually early! We talked, he shared the history of the company (30 yrs in business, I remember correctly) and reviewed what we were hoping to replace- he showed me what Shading Solutions could do- measured, twice, and we were on our way. The date he told me to anticipate our awnings should be delivered and one week before, contacted me to say we are on schedule! The awnings were delivered and we set a date for installation. The day before, Kurt Lamothe, the installer, came to look at the awnings and to check out the job site, impressive! Not waiting for 'day of ' - being proactive shows professionalism ~ so appreciated in this day! The installers show up, again, professional and friendly and EARLY! Again, I was impressed because as they're installing, Joe, my sales guy, shows up just to make sure all is going well and that I was satisfied. He even texted me after to say there is a windy storm rolling in so make sure to roll up the awnings as they were just installed. The guys picked up all the wrappings and left not one piece behind. Oh- and the price was fair, no hard sell or upsell. Will post pics later ~ but we are VERY satisfied to find a company and people who are professional and are great at their jobs! Thanks Joe, Kurt, Kurt Jr and Cliff (?) I apologize if I got the name wrong!

Chris arrived on time for each appointment beginning with a Saturday visit to assess the job. He responds same day to calls and emails! He is a quiet, careful, expert who is very personable. He easily answered questions, understood requests, explained procedures including a demonstration if needed to clarify. Ie. SHOWING how the pieces fit together/just telling because he saw that's the way I can get it. He and his crew of 2 are pleasant to have around. They worked together quickly, precisely, and skillfully finishing sooner than estimated, cleaning up each day thoroughly. The job looks and feels beautiful, and they are very fairly priced. I would love to have more work for them, and have already happily recommended them.

I would definitely recommend J. Salas Construction for concrete work. We received a quote from…read moreanother company that was more expensive for less work. We were able to get our deck demolished, a stamped concrete patio, and a fire pit and sitting wall all for good value. I'm satisfied with the way everything turned out. I'm glad that they used dirt to level the patio with the grass surrounding it. My only complaint is that once they began construction, it took 17 days to complete the entire project. I wasn't expecting it to take as long as it did, but they were working on other jobs at the same time. It wasn't a super big issue for us, but some communication about the timeline could have helped. The company took care of the permit process for us. They seem skilled in their work. I'm happy our patio turned out the way we wanted it to.

Johnny was great. He answered the phone right away - every other company put me to voicemail (and…read morea week later!). He came soon after to survey the job for his estimate. He had a lot of great ideas and options for the job at hand - we really wish we had found him and his company earlier to contract the main job (installation of a new shed). He is really personable and it was really great talking to him. He involved my wife when she came out - and we kind of lost track of time as we were talking about some of his previous jobs, his work at his home, and even his cool truck. The job was done when he scheduled it, and done very well (better than the people who would later put up my shed). We had him put down a framed, gravel base and it turned out great. We highly recommend Johnny and Velasco Landscapes. We already are planning our next job!
