The 8'x6' utility shad in my backyard has its wooden foundation completely rotten. I was thinking…read moreof laying some paving tiles on top of a layer of base material. Then I changed my mind after I calculated the cost of the materials that I need, I want to pour 4-inch concrete instead. I called around and was quoted from $1200 to $3500! I don't need any fancy work, just a leveled 8'x6' concrete slab. Then I was approached by Modern Paving Landscaping, for half of cost that other company charge, they can pour me a 8'x6'x4" leveled slab, without any smooth finishing. That's exactly what I want, since the shed comes with its own bottom lining, I don't need any finished top. 4 days later, I got my concrete slab. As advertised, nothing fancy but just a 8'x6'x4" slab, but it serves my purpose. Two things I would have done differently if I do the work myself. One, put in a layer of crushed rook before I pour concrete. Two, raised the rebar off the floor instead of having them rested on top of the soil. But I believe that this concrete slab will last for many many years.

He fixed the leaky pipe and left the ground opened to make sure no more leaks. In addition, he wanted me to pay the repair cost in full after finding the leak. After I paid him some portion of the total repair cost, he was mad that I didn't pay full and not willing to come and finish the work. Do you really wan to give any job to this guy. I am really glad I didn't pay him what he asked for. even if I paid the results would be the same. now I have to find someone to complete the work including constructing concrete panel for that he brock and removed to find the leak.

I had 8 planter boxes on my patio that were starting to fall apart after about 10 years of use…read more Jose suggested that I should have new boxes made with waterproof liners on the inside, to help delay the rotting process the next time. This was a great idea. Then he proceeded to draw diagrams and take notes right on his phone, finishing within an amazingly short time. I thought that his bid was very reasonable. He assembled beautiful new redwood boxes at home, with no mistakes in the measurements, and started to install them a week after he first visited my home, finishing the job 2 days after that. I was extremely pleased with the fact that he managed to transfer all of my plants from the old boxes to the new ones without damaging the plants. Some of these plants with their root balls were extremely heavy, so that the two men working really had to strain to lift them using straps. I also liked the fact that he took away all of the considerable debris, including the old rotten planter boxes, and cleaned up thoroughly. Jose is extremely smart, careful and efficient. He works from early in the morning into the evening. He has a lot of impressive machinery that he brings to the job. He listens to his customers and makes every effort to satisfy them. I feel very fortunate to have found him.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. RUN and take your business and money elsewhere. I hired them to redo my…read morepatio with stamped concrete and they gave me an availability within a few days. That should have been my first red flag. I was very clear that my concern about concrete was lack of drainage and water pooling but they assured me they would make sure the concrete would be slightly angled so it would follow a natural drainage. The second red flag should have been they asked me to pay them the remainder of the fee because they didn't have enough to pay for the concrete truck. The crew was extremely sloppy, clogged outdoor drain, pushed cement into garden bed, left scissors in my yard, dumped leftover concrete in between my stairs hoping I wouldn't notice, concreted my sewer lid shut and THE worse of all, I now have a concrete patio that pools every time it rains. We weren't able to check for quality control at the end of the job because it takes 24 hours for the cement to set. We reached out afterward and gave them a chance to make some things right but they ghosted us and won't respond to CCheck out the photos, a photo speaks a thousand words. Update - Apele still haven't responded and we will have to take them to small claims court. The concrete pad cracked in less than one month.

For other people in this thread, I found out that you can file a complaint with the state of california. They've stolen $10K from me and assuming I'm not the only one. https://bit.ly/2RRQynu --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ezekial and his team are nice guys but they are extremely unreliable. They appear to be ghosting a project and STEALING roughly $6000 from me. I have paid $10K towards a flagstone patio (completed quote: $7K) and a retaining wall (completed quote $4K). The outstanding balance is $1000 for the job to be complete, which it never will be. They told me the job would take 5-6 days. After 22 weekdays, 10 of which were no-shows no-calls, they left the site with their tools. Ezekial rarely answered text messages that were business critical. Every day they did show up, they were 2 to 4 hours later than scheduled. They never worked more than three hours in one day, with most days about 90 minutes. The flagstone patio, which is just the concrete pad with a few poorly laid pieces of flagstone on one part is far from complete. Let's say that $3k of the $7k is left to do. The retaining wall was never started, so that is $3000 (of $4000 that I've already paid) is also being stolen. If they return the money to me, then I can reconsidered my review, but breaching a contract is not just bad business but is also illegal. Fortunately for me, I have documentation from venmo, yelp, and text messages that show that they consistently missed deadlines. I'd rather not take them to small claims court, but they have stolen money from me. If they return the money, this review would be more about reliability which is less severe. I really want to support local small businesses, especially coming out of covid, but unreliable vendors who provide bad service and bad craftsmanship and no communication need to get their act together. This is especially goes for thieves. Unfortunately, they had 5 stars when I hired them.

Run away. I would not use this company…read more I rarely write negative reviews, in fact, I don't think I've written any reviews in well over a decade, but I felt compelled to share my experience. Earlier this week, I contacted several hauling companies before deciding to go with Mendoza based on the quote I received over the phone. I shared several pictures and a video before our first call. During multiple conversations, I made it very clear that my biggest concern was avoiding a last-minute price increase on the day of the job. I explained that I was also considering renting a truck and doing the hauling myself, and that the quoted price would determine which option I chose. I repeated this concern several times, and each time I was reassured that the quoted price was accurate. Based on that, I booked the service, declined the other options, coordinated schedules, and confirmed the time and location again the night before. When he/they arrived, everything changed. Almost immediately, I was told the job would cost four times the quoted price. After nearly 30 minutes of going back and forth, and reminding them of our multiple conversations and the assurances I'd been given, they reduced the price somewhat. Even so, I still ended up paying nearly three times the original quote. By that point, I had people waiting, plans coordinated, and no realistic alternative. I felt I had little choice but to proceed. The most frustrating part wasn't the higher price, it was that I specifically raised this concern multiple times before booking and was repeatedly assured it wouldn't happen. If the original quote wasn't accurate, I wish they had been upfront from the beginning. Instead, the price changed only after they arrived, when it would have been extremely difficult for me to make other arrangements. That's just not ok, not cool. I would be very leery of using Mendoza Junk Removal.

Gary was hired to repair water damage to a basement bedroom and kitchen ceiling. His estimate for…read morethe bedroom took 2 weeks; he inspected the kitchen twice and never provided an estimate. Gary's drywall work seems solid, and his suggestion that we add more outlets while we had the walls open was great. In 5 working days, he only arrived as schedule twice, texting me in the morning to change his mind about the other 3 days. He left the room half-painted with a partially disassembled and broken closet door frame. He wanted more money to finish the painting but never provided an estimate for that, either. He also left a trash bag as big as my garbage bin that will take several weeks to throw out with my usual trash. After he saw my poor review, he reiterated that he didn't think he was obligated to finish the painting, but offered to anyway. This was the 4th time he said he'd paint it. By then I had lost faith in Gary, and was working with another painter.

They helped us replace ceiling drywall after mold remediation, which they completed quickly and quietly (we just arrived home from the hospital with a newborn the day before!)

They were all friendly, always on time, communicated well and all pricing discussion was clear and upfront. Can't recommend them highly enough. We'll certainly be asking them to help us with additional work in the future.
