They also installed footing drain (French drain) on the back retaining wall, backfilled with the usual gravel, crushed stone and covered the outside of the walls with installed paneled stone veneer. They also did the initial former structure demolition, debris hauling and the requested earth moving and other necessary small retaining walls reassembly. It sounds like an easy simple job but, believe me, it got complicated quite soon. Along the construction way, I was able to interact with the crew and bounce ideas and corrections which were followed to my customer satisfaction, resulting in more than a very acceptable final product. When the inevitable, beyond his control, the one odd crew helper misbehavior occurred on the job, this contractor immediately corrected it, got on top of the problem and smoothly and quickly we had no more of an issue here. He also facilitated for me the customer to bring my own tile / stone wall-caps products and installer guys, which ended doing a beautiful job we're very proud of. Pricing fair, not inexpensive. Job done acceptable, with your own (the customer) continuous supervision and being able to stop working crew's irreparable mistakes before they happened, however, the final product came out well built and functional as we imagined and expected, we are grateful for that. Thanks again to Shafiaq and SK Concrete for accepting working on our small home project and for including us in their busy commercial and industrial schedule.

There were two spots where he said his crew could do the work, but said it would be really easy for me to do in a couple hours to save some money. Which I really appreciated him not up selling me. Then I received the bid the next day. After we went into contract his team showed up and started the work. It was started on Monday and pouring concrete on Saturday. They were great to work with and respected our house. What I especially appreciated was the care they took to ensure nothing around the house was damaged. This was a pleasant experience and I would recommend SK Concrete to anyone for their big or small project.

We found and hired Minez Concrete for a retaining wall project, and I can honestly say this has…read morebeen the best experience we've ever had with a contractor. This is the first time we've worked with someone who showed up on time every single day -- no excuses, no delays -- just consistent, reliable work. Oswaldo and his crew were extremely professional and clearly focused on doing the job efficiently and correctly the first time. Our situation was not simple. We had a retaining wall failure and, during excavation, discovered a large drainage pipe that we weren't even sure who it belonged to. Oswaldo went above and beyond by helping us navigate communication with the county and making sure we understood what was going on every step of the way. He took the time to explain the entire process clearly, which gave us a lot of confidence. We received six different quotes, but ultimately chose Minez Concrete because we felt the most comfortable with Oswaldo -- and that absolutely proved to be the right decision. He even came out on a Sunday to provide the estimate and was right on time, which says a lot about his professionalism. Since writing my original review, we have now completed a second and third retaining wall project with Minez Concrete, including permits, county inspections, engineering plans, and a much more complicated shared easement situation -- and our opinion of Oswaldo and his crew is even higher now. This second project involved a failing retaining wall, drainage issues, county permit requirements, neighbor access coordination, and difficult easement issues that became very complicated throughout the process. Oswaldo was extremely knowledgeable about the permit pulling process from start to finish and handled everything for us. He coordinated directly with the county, helped navigate the easement issues, and made sure every step was completed correctly. Our project also required engineered plans, and Oswaldo was able to connect us with an engineer quickly and help coordinate that process as well, which made an extremely stressful situation much easier for us. Throughout the entire project, Oswaldo stayed calm, professional, honest, and solution-oriented. He consistently communicated with us and helped navigate issues that went far beyond what most contractors would normally deal with. The finished wall came out beautiful, straight, and incredibly solid. We passed final inspection, and the workmanship truly speaks for itself. What impressed us most was that even during difficult situations, Oswaldo still took extra care to preserve surrounding structures and keep everything as functional and clean as possible throughout construction. Finding a contractor you can genuinely trust is rare, and we feel incredibly lucky we found Minez Concrete. We would hire them again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone needing retaining wall, concrete, masonry, drainage, or permit-related work. Truly an outstanding company and crew. 100 stars!!!!

We were able to do both areas for less that what either of the other landscaping/masonry companies quoted us for just the driveway. Art also did a good job managing our expectations on timing and continued to answer questions after the job was done. I would definitely recommend Tarantino Masonry to any homeowner in the San Diego area.

I decided on RML based on what they said coupled with their rating, reviews, and photos posted as well as the quoted price. We scheduled for one day but they had an opening sooner and they asked me if I wanted to grab that time slot so I did. They arrived on schedule, squared off the jackhammered area of the driveway, filled the hole with sand and soil, and poured the cement. It looks great. They're professional, thorough, friendly, and do great work. If I ever need more concrete work, I'll be contacting Rogelio first.

Work completed by CalSouth: - complete demo - retaining wall - all form work and concrete pours - dg, rock, flagstone, sod, and mulch install - installed post for sail shades - planted plants we provided - irrigation for our lawn and raised beds We would recommend CalSouth to anyone that has landscaping needs!

We liked the ideas the architect offered but not the cost as quoted by the contractor the architect referred us to. So we decided to contract our own specialists - act as our own general contractor.

The installation crew was absolutely first rate. It was a pleasure to watch craftsmen apply their skills! The result is fabulous! Honestly, it turned out better than we had imagined! As with ALL contractors, you - as the client - need to always be communicating with Luis. We made slight modifications to our original plan as the work progressed, but they all were fine because we were in constant dialog with Luis.

Also a bonus that his estimate was much more reasonable than other companies we contacted.

I was given an excellent variety of bricks/blocks to choose for the wall, and the one I chose was competently installed. I was pleased to note the block I chose would be sourced from RCP in Chula Vista, where I have been a regular customer. The two workers agreed to relocate the existing pavers for my reuse as part of the original job. I really appreciated that. Although I was in no hurry, the job was completed quite expeditiously with the exception of the iron gate, the installation of which was subcontracted (and reviewed separately). The final results please me immensely. A&F solved a major problem, and I recommend the company to all.
