There were issues with a piece of equipment he rented-not his fault, that prolonged the project by many weeks. At the end, he gave us a new quote of 30,000. He stated this was for hours worked and many more days than originally needed. Unfortunately we didn't pay attention to days he was there, hours nor crew. There were days he didn't come, his crew would be there for an hour or so and we didn't keep track. Not once did he mention how much more it would be. He made a statement that he'd have to rent the equipment longer and that would increase the price, but that was all. We used our entire savings, and had to pull out 10,000 from our 401K to pay him. We now have a dirt lot we can't do anything with due to no funds. The work itself isn't bad. The job was well done. But I'd keep track of exact hours, crews and make everything written down in the contract. This destroyed us financially.

If you want personal service throughout the project and great communication, Jerry is the right choice. You will get out of the box thinking like when he turned the rocks that were removed during grading into riprap, saving me quite a bit of money. The 2 regrets I have are 1) not using them on my first grading job and 2) not reaching out to Jerry to help guide me to a better Civil engineer. I suggest that you reach out to Jerry first, he will help you!!!

It was a Saturday morning (of course!) just before Mother's Day and my septic backed up…read more I could not get anyone to come out, and most never even responded even though their websites claimed 7 day a week emergency service. Not only did John at North County respond, but he also spent a bunch of time on the phone with me trying to troubleshoot my problem and sharing his expert knowledge. After coming out, he quickly dug in, found the problem (a root lifted the outlet line as seen in the photo), fixed it, and charged a fair price. While he was here, I had him put in some manhole covers and an observation port to make servicing easier in the future. All that in about 1/2 a day. Very happy with my experience with John saving the day!

John and his family started work the very next day and finished at 1:30pm the 2nd day. Now my system is flowing like new. I highly recommend John and his family. When he finished, everything was buried and leveled off and cleaned. Quality work at great value and took the stress off my back. Thank you John. Steve

We needed the Alternative treatment system due to the rocky, clay material our soil is made up of. We were worried about being able to dig a large enough hole for the 3 tanks, but Gary did it!

Thanks Gary!

Here's a fun, creative rewrite of your Yelp review:…read more Holy moly, these guys are absolute patio cover slayers! They tackled our monstrous solid-top patio cover like it was no big deal--poof, gone! Super responsive, showed up right on time (like, who does that?!), and went above and beyond with a cleanup so spotless I thought they brought a magic wand. The price? Totally fair, no sneaky add-ons or surprise fees. My husband's a contractor, so I'm basically the Simon Cowell of home improvement, and these guys got a standing ovation from me! 10/10, would hire again faster than you can say "patio perfection!"
