If…read moreyou're looking for a true one-stop shop that will leave you beyond happy and completely transform your yard, look no further -- this is the company you want. The customer service was outstanding. Sarah and Nora were wonderful to work with so helpful, friendly, and always great with communication throughout the entire process. JC was also such a pleasure to work with. He was knowledgeable, responsive, kind, respectful and made everything feel easy and stress- free. The crew on site did an incredible job. They were professional, friendly, hardworking, helpful, and always kept everything tidy. You can tell they truly take pride in their work. We even decided to add an additional scope of work, and David was able to get us a quote and have the work completed all in the same day which was beyond impressive! From the first conversation to the final result, everything exceeded our expectations. Our yard looks amazing, and we couldn't be happier. It was truly a 10/10 experience, and we highly recommend California Outdoor Living to anyone looking to create a beautiful outdoor space!

I would not recommend this company. Their lack of attention to detail made the entire experience…read moreunpleasant. The drainage tube was installed with the slope going the wrong direction, and the walls were not properly covered before the concrete was poured, leaving concrete splatter all over the side walls. The concrete also cracked less than three days after it was poured. It was poured on Monday morning, and on Wednesday the artificial turf guy was using a large plate compactor right next to the two-day-old concrete. I believe the vibration from that equipment contributed to the cracking. When I spoke with JC about the issue, he told me that concrete will crack sooner or later and that is why they do not warranty cracks. Concrete was poured directly on top of the soil, no gravel was brought first. While I understand that concrete can crack over time, I did not expect it to crack before I had even made my final payment. Despite my disappointment, I paid the remaining balance. After that, I never received any follow-up confirmation that the payment was received , or even a simple thank you.

A few months go by and our old backyard fence was in the final stage of falling apart so we contacted Alex (aka turtle) who provided the initial quote for us and he came back out and gave us the final numbers and all. We ended up getting the whole backyard wood fence taken out and a new vinyl fence installed. Chris the project manager was always in communication with us and his foreman Ivan was always on site and answered any questions we had. Couldn't be more pleased with the result, would recommend them to anyone.

I'd caution anyone from placing too much weight on this company's high rating, as my recent…read moreexperience involved a last-minute cancellation, poor communication, and ultimately being ghosted. I originally connected with them through Thumbtack for a sizable project and scheduled an appointment for Thursday, June 4th at 11:00 a.m. The appointment was canceled just 20 minutes before they were due to arrive. To salvage the opportunity, the salesperson, Chris, texted me and offered to come the following day at noon instead, along with a 5% discount for the inconvenience. I rearranged my schedule twice to accommodate them during what was already an exceptionally difficult time, as I was preparing to say goodbye to my 16-year-old dog that weekend. Chris did arrive on Friday as promised, but a week has now passed and I have received neither a bid nor any follow-up communication from anyone at the company. Shortly after the appointment, their Thumbtack profile was also removed or hidden. While I can't say why, the timing was odd, as it prevented me from leaving a review on the platform where we originally connected. I've uploaded screenshots with this review documenting the interaction, including Chris's last-minute cancellation, his offer of a 5% discount, and the Thumbtack notification showing the company was no longer available on the platform. If reliability, communication, and follow-through are important to you, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

He took the time to explain every detail, visited our home twice, and remained flexible when we decided to adjust the extension area. The crew was efficient, friendly, and equipped with impressive machinery. We were particularly struck by the value offered; Roman Concrete was the only company to provide 3500 PSI concrete while maintaining a very competitive price. Their attention to detail was outstanding--from the thorough cleanup to the fact that two team members stayed for four hours just to ensure the concrete dried undisturbed. My husband and I highly recommend Roman Concrete. The final result is beautiful, and we look forward to working with them again in the future.

Rescrete

The back patio was 1970s looking brown pebble tec around the pool and patio area (which was fading and coming loose), and the side driveway was painted concrete which got super slippery in the rain. I wanted something textured that my kids wouldn't slip on, and I wanted to tie the whole house together with one uniform coating. Their crew worked really hard for us, and they really paid attention to detail. The painters were super neat, and the guys doing the coating were meticulous. It was a really big job, and it took a while to complete, but they kept at it and did it right. They've even come back a couple times to fix some little things that I messed up, or that happened through normal wear and tear. I will attach some before and after pics if I can find them, but in the meantime if you're considering resurfacing a patio, driveway, or other area, call these guys first. They'll take care of you.

Andrew and his team have tons of experience and are absolute pros. As usual, Andrew's pricing was very reasonable, and the work he did upgrading our garage with custom cabinets and a beautiful epoxy floor was top-notch. Beyond the craftsmanship, his experience is invaluable. He offered incredible advice on the layout, usability, and where to install specific items to maximize the space. Andrew was promptly available for appointments, took precise measurements, and created a highly detailed design diagram so we could collaborate on dimensions, materials, and placement. His customer service is also next-level: after the job was complete, we noticed the texture of the floor flakes wasn't quite as smooth as our previous house. Without a second thought, Andrew sent his team back out to smooth it down and apply an extra topcoat. I highly recommend Andrew and his team to anyone looking to upgrade their garage or cabinetry or closets. They will absolutely be my top choice for future projects.

We got a few quotes, and Infinity was the lowest bid. That was only part of our decision process, however, as we wanted it to be done right. After their process was explained to us, we felt comfortable that they would most likely do a good job. And, they did! Our patio looks great! The guys who did the job worked really hard and were meticulous. Due to weather issues, the job was delayed a few weeks. While unavoidable, that was disappointing. What made it a lot less frustrating was the very timely communication by Andrew, always keeping us updated on status. He was a real pleasure to work with. Our patio should look good for many years, but if we ever need resurfacing again, we would definitely use Infinity.

Super courteous crew, VERY fast, and very detail oriented.

Very affordable and for the difference of my buying materials myself, getting friends to help me mix and pour versus having them do it, well, you just cant beat it. I am hiring them to do my kitchen counters next. I can't recommend these guys enough. Great people, great, work, and great price. You hardly get all three !
