Ryan A was great to work with from start to finish. He was responsive, patient with all of my questions, and kept me informed throughout the project. (even after the project). A special thank you to Team Juan for their outstanding workmanship. The crew worked incredibly hard, paid attention to the details, kept the job site organized, and did an amazing job with cleanup when the project was complete. The finished product exceeded my expectations and completely transformed the front of my home. The quality of the installation, craftsmanship of the stairs and walls, and overall professionalism of the team were excellent. It's rare to find a contractor that delivers exactly what was promised, but Black Diamond did just that. I highly recommend Ryan, Team Juan, and Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape to anyone considering a hardscape project.

Pacific Outdoor completely redid our backyard, front yard landscaping, put pavers on the driveway,…read morebuilt us a pool, and we couldn't be happier!! They transformed the outside of our home, and it now looks and feels like a magazine spread! Just today, I received compliments from two separate strangers on the front yard. We constantly get compliments on the appearance of our home. Samantha was the landscape architect who created the design, and it was amazing to see her lay out the vision. She saved us space in ways I definitely couldn't have conceived of on my own. She said the remodel would be like doubling our living space, and she was right! Scott oversaw the construction from start to finish. He was very attentive and obviously cared about and was fully invested in the success of the project. He had an expertise with plants and gave great guidance to give me the colors I wanted in plants that would work for our space and the SoCal heat. I am constantly smiling at the plants Scott suggested. They are thriving, and I wouldn't change a thing. The crew was respectful, clean and did a beautiful job. It was a long project, but Pacific Outdoor kept their initial timeline. Our main reason for going with Pacific Outdoor was that they were a one-stop shop. They could do everything. They truly delivered, and it is better than we ever imagined! It was so easy to look at their choices and select what we wanted. They had a wide variety of design choices. We replaced most of the grass in the back with their pavers and used the same pavers for our driveway. They look fantastic. We have a neighbor that had Pacific Outdoor build them a firepit that they love. We received great guidance and attention from the full team all along the way. They didn't quit until the project was finished to our satisfaction. As I float in our beautiful pool and eat tangerines off of my new tree, I feel like a queen and couldn't be happier after choosing Pacific Outdoor! Our family highly recommends them!

These guys did a wonderful job on both my driveway and a patio in my backyard after I decided to…read morefill in my pool. (They had also done an excellent job on the pool deck five years earlier, before I knew I was going to fill in the pool.) I have been very pleased with the results, which have really elevated my enjoyment of my home's outdoor areas. I would also caution anyone considering going with System Pavers to steer clear of those crooks. I wasted thousands of dollars having them do a terrible job on my pool deck, and had to have Pacific rip out their work and fix it. It was an expensive mistake that I hope to save others from repeating. If I had gone with Pacific in the first place, I would have saved lots of money and hassle. Some pictures of the driveway, patio, and now-defunct pool deck are included here.

WORST COMPANY you could ever hope to find. If there were a reality show for the most incompetent…read moreconstruction company with the lowest ethical business practices, Vitoli would win by a landslide. Speaking of landslides, the infinity spa they built on our hill was done incorrectly so needs to be rebuilt so as to not send chlorinated water rushing down the mountain with each use. For now, we have to limit to two people despite its 10 person capacity. Yeah, and that's just the beginning. We had a $220,000 budget to build a dream yard in an estimated 6 months, but they built all of the retaining walls incorrectly so add an 18-month delay as we sorted out problems with permitting, during which time much of the existing part of the yard was damaged. They forgot to run a water line to the sink and ice maker in the outdoor kitchen rendering them useless, put the incorrectly built walls in the wrong place entirely, built a fence that fell down...for a more complete list please see attached photos. When we hired them, they promised a foreman would be on site at all times but in fact, they had a project manager on site only about 10% of the time and I'm being generous. We loved the workers and I would wake up early each morning to bake breakfast treats and brew coffee for them, however they would often come to us in confusion for direction without a foreman, but we had a language barrier even my best intentions couldn't overcome and grave mistakes were made. Each attempt at demanding said foreman only yielded increasingly angry calls from the owner, who went so far as to call us racists, sometimes with threats of leaving the project or suing us. We paid in full as projects were completed as per our contract, all $220K, but were not refunded for the many parts done incorrectly, and were instead made promises that simply weren't kept. With no less than $50K left to do, we finally kicked them off of our property when they started refusing to complete items -- we simply decided to remove the toxicity from our lives. Particularly evil was their pool equipment installer Bernardo who we caught in multiple lies and who was wont to covering his high level of incompetence by accusing us of "sabotaging our own project." Absolutely ludicrous, yes, but the owner went with it, I suppose it was easier than dealing with more wretched errors on their part. Meanwhile, if there was a corner that could be cut, they found it, and always at our expense. When we first were shut down by the county, I looked here on Yelp and to my dismay, found many negative reviews. They have since disappeared somehow so before writing my review, I reached out to YELP corporate, who assured me mine would remain. As I try to enjoy my unfinished dream yard, it occurs to me that all I can do at this point is protect as many people as I can from falling victim to companies such as Vitoli. Had I been smarter I would have asked for references or gone with a company recommended to me. Beware The Home Mag as they don't vet their advertisers at all, they don't even require proof that photos used are actually work done by said company, they need nothing but the ad copy and money to qualify and so I would argue that the companies that advertise in The Home Mag are ones whose work doesn't merit a good referral and so they advertise instead. Vitoli often graces their cover, which makes sense... The owner promised to fix it all, said he'd take care of us and we believed him to be sincere. But now all I have left is an unfinished yard and no funds to finish it. Shameful, but all true. I believe I know exactly what the response to this review will be, but I will endure it for the sake of helping others. Please note my other reviews, as they are a healthy mix of good and bad -- that is what I understand the purpose of Yelp to be.

We hired project manager Al of Exodus Construction and Remodeling to update the original backyard pool. From day one, Al was there answering questions and adding ideas. As first time pool owners we appreciated his expertise. His timeline, explanations and regular visits were very helpful as we went through demo of pool and the cement patio. The various crews he employed for each step provided quality construction and cleaned up their worksites when completed. With Al's guidance and encouragement we felt very comfortable during the process. We decided to add a spa, resurfaced both pool and spa with micro pebbles, added pavers to the patio, and had a patio cover built. Al's project manager's assistant Eli was very helpful when Al could not be there. We highly recommend Exodus Construction. FIVE stars!!

We had a vision for our courtyard and were searching for the right contractor to bring it to life…read more After interviewing multiple contractors, it was clear that Mr. Elad Gusto from Exodus Construction and Remodeling stood out from the rest. Unlike others who simply came, took a few notes, made some measurements, and gave us vague (and often outrageous) estimates, Mr. Gusto took the time to truly listen to what we wanted. He came prepared--not only with professionalism but also with ideas, thoughtful suggestions, and a genuine desire to help us realize our vision. His communication, insight, and customer service far exceeded our expectations. What impressed us most was how upfront and honest Mr. Gusto was throughout the process. He treats his clients with care and respect, and it shows in every aspect of his work. His team was equally impressive--especially his right-hand man, Mr. Dimitrio, who was incredibly accommodating and attentive to every request. The entire crew was professional, courteous, and detail-oriented. The transformation of our courtyard speaks for itself. The before-and-after photos showcase the quality, craftsmanship, and heart Exodus puts into every project--big or small. Thanks to Mr. Gusto and his team, our once plain space is now a functional, beautiful area we're proud to share with friends, family, and neighbors. We highly recommend Exodus Construction and Remodeling under the care and supervision of Mr. Gusto. If you're looking for a team that truly values your vision and executes it with excellence--look no further
