We were nervous but Wesley reassured us that everything would be ok and came often to check on the progress. Although our project (Santa Barbara smooth finish) was small, Fatu and Francisco (ultimate craftsman) were meticulous and made sure every inch was flawless. They were timely, arrived when scheduled, and very professional. I would recommend Aloha Concrete who need any hardscape installed.

I found Aloha Concrete on Yelp and reached out to Wesley for a quote to redo our backyard. Wesley…read morewas very kind to come out to check out our yard and listen to our needs before giving us a fair and reasonable quote. We decided to go with him after he provided us with a contract detailing all the work that his company would be doing. Wesley was very responsive and his crew worked extremely quickly finishing all the work within a week. The work included scrapping of all the debris and having it hauled away, installing additional drainage throughout the yard to tie into the existing drain, installing rebar and pouring of the concrete. They finished off with brushing of the new concrete to blend into the existing concrete we already had. We also had Wesley's team install high quality, non-toxic and pet friendly turf which was installed professionally. We highly recommend Aloha Concrete and will be back for any future yard needs!

This is my revise review on P&R Lathing…read more To save time I won't go into all the details, but I hired P&R Lathing to remove and replace the weep screed and replace the black waterproofing paper at my home. When the work was finished, I believed everything had been done correctly and I initially left a positive review. I cannot remove the review so I am updating it. Later, I hired a mold remediation company to address a separate issue. During their work they removed a full wall of drywall. When they finished their process, the owner showed me that daylight was visible through multiple gaps at the bottom of the wall by the weep screed. If I didn't have the drywall removed I would have never known that the work was done improperly and would have ended up getting mold again. He explained that if the problem is not corrected, Moisture and pests can enter and mold will return. It appears that when P&R Lathing installed the weep screed, there are many gaps where you could see daylight from the outside. Because of this, insects came inside the house and had moisture intrusion entered the wall cavity, and during rains my mudsill, 2x4's and the interior of the black paper was wet. I had to run air blowers and a dehumidifier to dry the area to prevent mold from returning. I contacted Richard Warren, the owner of P&R Lathing, and asked him to resolve the problem. He said just put some caulking on the inside and outside. That is a band aid I paid almost $5,000 hired a licensed contractor because I wanted it to be done the right way! You are not supposed to put caulking on the outside or else you will get mold. I even offered to pay for the removal and replacement of the weep screed as long as it was corrected properly, without any additional profit to him since the original work had already been paid for. He had a worker paint on the foundation a cement sealer that didn't work. As a result, I filed a complaint with the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) and am currently waiting for them to resolve the issue. In my opinion, I would recommend hiring a different contractor. While the workers were doing the work, Richard never came by to check on the quality of the work. He only came at the beginning to show the crew where to do the work and returned again when the job was finished to collect the payment.
