I found Vindel's Construction through a Yelp search. They had great reviews and a 5 star rating. True to form, the reviews were spot on. Berlin and his crew did a great job and went the extra mile. I had a 3.5 ft retaining wall installed where weeks earlier the rain had caused a very old one to give way. During the excavation, the crew found previously undiscovered garden drains which needed to be addressed. They were able to re-route the drains at no additional cost. Plus Berlin's bid was the lowest and he seemed the most honest of the three bids. He didn't try to up sell me with work that was not necessary for the job. Definitely recommend him. The only down side was he took the longest to get back to me to set up a time to visit the job site. I almost went with another company, but decided to wait to get Vindel's bid. Glad I did. read more

Of the several bids with q&a, Berlin was the most reasonable. He listened to my description of work, made a few suggestions for improving the final product and worked closely with us throughout the project. During the pour, the concrete truck driver volunteered, without prompting, that he was happy to see Berlin's crew as they were in his estimation among the best in the business. We hit a material supply snag, and Berlin worked with us patiently while a new source was determined. Bottom line, bride was pleased with the professional interaction with Berlin and his crew and, most importantly, with the resulting product. A pleasure doing business with him. read more

Berlin and his crew were great to work with. They built a 3 foot retaining wall around the perimeter of our yard with country manor block. Berlin was easy to communicate with and he did exactly what he promised. The wall was built correctly and he kept us up to date with texts and pictures if we weren't available. His crew was clean and neat and did a great job. We would hire them again! read more

Berlin and his crew did a fantastic job. They always showed up as scheduled. Berlin checked in with us daily to be sure we were happy with the work. Everything was left spotless every day. I highly recommend Berlin Vindel's services. read more

Berlin and his team have done an amazing job on my small patio paver installation project! Highly recommend this team.

If we could give more then 5 stars, we would! We came across Vindel's Construction through YELP. This is how we hire most of the contractors and services we need. From the first time we met Berlin, the owner, we felt at ease with his expertise and professionalism. We needed to "shore up" a receding hill in our backyard to stop the erosion and make it a usable space. Berlin worked with us in designing a three-tier retaining wall that would also extend our current yard. His crew were masters in proper drainage, filling and building the walls. The price turned out to be very reasonable. We would highly, highly recommend everyone to look no further and use Berlin and his crew! We will be using them again in our front yard, very soon. read more

Specifically looked up places that do concrete masonry and/or block wall construction in their services, which is precisely what I needed done. Got an extremely short and non customer centered response only stating "I don't do this kind of work". I don't mind if they don't, but now if I'm looking to hire someone for a full landscaping project, this will be one company I definitely will not consider. Second response I've gotten like this for this same project from 2 different companies. Maybe its yelp that gives them an option to respond this way, but that shouldn't be an excuse. One less contractor to decide between in the future I guess. read more

Berlin and his crew did an amazing job extending the concrete work of our new pool deck, pouring a slab for a new shed, and installing artificial grass. When drainage issues in our side yard were noted he was able to add a French drain (which has worked perfectly). He was always understanding and flexible when plans changed slightly and worked with me to perfect the design. I love how the side yard and front yard turned out. What I really appreciated about Berlin were his communion skills. He constantly updated me on what would be happening and what was happening as the days progressed. I knew when crew would arrive, when materials would be delivered, and the expected completion date. Berlin and his crew are professionals and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for quality work. read more

Berlin and his team did a great job with my retaining wall project. The project included removing and replacing an existing retaining wall, adding new tiered walls in our back yard, and creating a new patio area carved into our hillside. It was a very arduous project, and I was very pleased with the dedication and professionalism of his team. They showed up on time everyday, and cleaned-up very nicely each day. There was noticeable progress each day. They came each day as promised and continued working until the project was done. I also appreciated Berlin's flexibility to work with me on some changes to the original plan when needed. His goal was to make sure I received the project outcome I wanted. Berlin was also very transparent in terms of time, cost, and effort. read more

Berlin and his crew have been awesome! My wife and I have hired him multiple times for projects because of his attentiveness to detail, him and his crew's punctuality, and of course the great work that they do. They took our ugly backyard/patio and created something beautiful. In an industry rife with contractors who show up late or not at all, Berlin and his guys were ALWAYS on time and always completed the work when they said they would. We will be hiring them for much more in the future (our house still needs help). Thank you, Berlin! read more

I created a Yelp account just to post this review because the job was so great. Amazing service from Berlin. He carefully went over every aspect of the project at all stages and was great at communicating their approach. His team was amazingly fast at getting the work done. We had a small retaining wall installed and a concrete deck poured, and the initial quote was for a wall that stepped down in segments. During the job, they were not happy with the look of the step-down approach, so they continued the wall at full height for the entire ~30ft length with no additional charge! It looks amazing and they went above-and-beyond to deliver, I would strongly recommend their team. read more

Cannot say enough about this contractor. Everything went to plan, and work was completed on time with no surprises; well except for the superior work each day while on site. Vindel is very communicative, and his employees are hard working, detail oriented and focused. I never sell anything, but do like to provide people who are looking for their type of service a highly recommended option! read more

I was searching on Yelp for Landscape contractors and was very impressed with the reviews for Vindel's Construction. Berlin who is the owner is extremely professional and pleasant. He responded to my call immediately and came over the next day to give me an estimate. Once he got an idea of what I wanted done in my backyard, he took measurements and sent me the estimate later that day with sample pictures of what the pavers and retaining walls will look like. His price was very reasonable and so I hired him immediately. He made sure that everything we agreed upon was captured in the contract and revised it until I was fully satisfied. Berlin and his crew installed beautiful pavers in our backyard along with a retaining wall on the side. While working on the retaining wall they came across an issue due to my sprinkler system and the side door. He immediately called me and went the extra mile to fix the issue. They did an excellent job and I was very impressed. Now my backyard looks great and I can enjoy it throughout the year. Berlin even surprised me by working on the area in between the retaining wall and the side of the house which was not part of the contract. The area was not leveled and water from the sprinklers would stagnate in several areas which led to growth of grass and weeds. His crew paved the area, lined it with existing cement tiles and cleaned my drains. That speaks volumes about his work ethic and is an example of him going the extra mile for the customer. He did a great job communicating the project timelines and kept me posted throughout the project. I received constant updates from him with pictures on the progress his team had made. I would highly recommend Berlin and Vindel's Construction for your landscape projects. read more

Berlin and his crew were absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. All members of the crew were very personable and demonstrated professionalism throughout. Berlin is very knowledgeable and was very supportive of our ideas while offering his own advice towards the vision for our hillside, which was an empty dirt incline. We will absolutely be using Berlin in the future and we look forward to working with him again. Any project that you have in your backyard, or your front, can be completed masterfully by Berlin and his team and I highly recommend them. read more

Berlin and his crew were amazing! We had them replace our lawn with artificial turf, put in a new block wall and pavers. They got it all done in 2 weeks, including demo and hauling away the old turf and bricks. Berlin was here every day and very communicative. His crew were professional, quiet and clean. We couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!! read more

Amazing. Wonderful. Love them! Berlin and his crew tackled my hillside wall job with ease. They worked hard for 6 full days. Berlin is very detail oriented and made the stability of the walls top priority. They were also very considerate with not interfering with my neighbors. I have dealt with many contractors, this one is one of my favorites. read more

We wanted to move some dirt and put up a wall so that we could increase our usable land in our backyard. We also wanted to pave a section of our backyard as well. I called several contractors and Berlin Vindel was the quickest to respond. That is a good sign of being organized and on time. Berlin came out for an estimate and gave me a quote. My wife and I went ahead and signed a contract for a wall to be put up and pavers installed. Berlin and his crew are all honest and hardworking. They worked through the heat waves that heat San Diego (May 2014) which got up to the high 90s in my backyard without much shade. Throughout the project he called or text me to give me status. He is upfront with you and doesn't work around any questions. He stayed within the estimate and got done in time. Everything looks great and we get compliments on how nice things turned out for us! The funny thing is that when our project was halfway done, one contractor I called a few weeks back finally gave us an estimate. I told them too late! My neighbor noticed how honest and hardworking Berlin and his crew are. They were so impress that they mentioned hiring Berlin Vindel and his crew for future work. read more

Berlin and his team are AMAZING! Patience, timing, quality, communication - five stars all around! I had a rather small backyard project that required the team to access the area only via the house - they were so careful and still managed to finish the project in two days! Berlin was patient with me as I worked to get architecture change approvals. Berlin was extremely wonderful at communicating - from the contract to letting me know exactly when the team will arrive and what they will do. The final outcome of the project was breathtaking! Berlin and his team brought my backyard to life and really opened up the space. Vindel's Construction is my top recommendation! read more

The hillside in our backyard was starting to erode causing us major problems. First, the flooring near our pool was starting to separate from the pool and it seemed like in only a matter of time, our pool would slide into our neighbor's yard. Also, in another section of our yard, our wooden retaining wall was was beginning to topple over which caused the flooring above to start to come undone. We called a number of companies to provide advice and estimates. None of these companies came up with viable suggestions and each of their plans seemed to be temporary fixes. Luckily, Berlin Vindel came to our rescue. He was honest, upfront, polite and professional. He provided us with a fair estimate and did amazing work. To support the pool, he had to remove a deck and build a retaining wall. He also filled in any gaps that were created from the separation. He replaced the wooden retaining wall and with block. Lastly, he repaired the stone block flooring that had started to separate. The finished look is wonderful - even better than I had hoped for! He painted, repaired, and reinforced the deck that had been damaged by water. Berlin is friendly and so easy to work with. He was patient with me when I requested changes to our original plan. His crew was efficient, professional, and completed all of this work quickly. Berlin kept me posted each day and was always easy to reach. I have already recommended him to my friends and I will certainly use him for any construction or painting needs. His crew is currently at my neighbor's house repainting the exterior in addition to some other tasks. read more

Vindel's construction just completed a much needed project (paving in front yard) on my newly purchased house. Owner Berlin worked promptly and professionally on each step of project from beginning to end. Eric led a crew and made work done seriously. My neighbors also highly praised his technique work with much details. They not only finished work in our original contract but also solved other issues. The whole project was done without any interruption. Overall it looked beautiful and was done at a reasonable cost. I appreciate much their service and highly recommend this company. read more

We hired Vindel's Construction to build two retaining walls and some stairs for access to our hillside. We know we made the right choice in who we hired! Berlin Vindel is an honest and professional contractor. He does what he says and keeps you informed every step of the way. His crew of 4 men were there everyday - even Saturday and worked all day. The crew was polite and very hard working. The project came out just as I wanted. His price was competitive and he did an awesome job. I am so happy with the results, we are having a 3rd wall built on the right of the stairs. Once we get some plants in - this will be gorgeous. For any future projects, I will hire Vindel's Contructions! If you would like to see the job, Eastside Rd between Heron & Partridge in El Cajon. read more

We couldn't be more pleased with Berlin and his crew!! They just finished creating two level areas on our very steep backyard hill- so 4 retaining walls total. Berlin is very professional, prompt (he gave a quote the day I called, for example, and the workdays started at 730 AM with Berlin at the site early too), knowledgeable, and considerate of the homeowner's property. He communicates the project details very well to the homeowner. This crew was very polite and friendly. It took a week and a half for them to complete my project- which consisted of a delivery of 16 pallets of blocks and gravel! They even came in on a Saturday one weekend (I told them that was okay). After seeing Berlin's work ethic, we would definitely use Berlin for any other renovation project (his crew does whole-house painting, driveway pavers, and basically any other Home Renovation/Construction project per their website that I was looking at before I hired him). Berlin goes the extra mile for the customer and that is greatly appreciated. THANK YOU VINDEL'S CONSTRUCTION FOR BEING MY FAVORITE CONTRACTOR!! --------UPATE June 2016--------- Used Berlin's crew again for flagstone steps to our backyard hill + a vinyl fence in front side yard + a wooden fence. Very impressed with workmanship of it all! Flagstone steps are amazing!! read more

My Husband and I have used Vindel's Construction for our retaining walls in both our back and front yard as well as to paint our home, repair termite damage and power wash it and the quality of his work has far exceeded our expectations. We are very much pleased with every aspect of this company. Pricing was fair and reasonable, there was wonderful work ethic of shown by the owner & his employees was remarkable, the quality of work was very pleasing, and the professionalism from company overall made them so very easy to work with. We have more projects to complete in our home and we will definitely use Vindel's Construction for it all! read more

We had a great experience with Berlin Vindel and his crew! We could tell Berlin really knew what he was doing, when he came over to give us a free estimate, by the questions he asked and the suggestions he gave. We got rid of our grass lawn and replaced with concrete, and needed that concrete to blend in with the existing concrete. We also added a retaining wall and added lights. Berlin's team was reliable, and when he said they were going to be there, they were! Also, they were very neat about they way they went about their work, putting plastic tarp down as needed, and cleaning up when they left each day. They had a good routine of working with each other to make the work go more smoothly, and Berlin communicated with us when he needed to. Work was done in timeframe he gave us. We were so happy we found Vindel's Construction! read more

Highly recommend Vindel's construction. Berlin was very responsive from the initial quote to getting the work finished on time on our Paver walkway project. The crew was very professional and did great work. Very happy with the outcome and with the decision to go with Berlin and his guys. Will use them again for the next project. read more

We were so impressed with Berlin and his crew. I first saw his work on San Diego Gardener from a fellow gardener. He and his crew were polite, quiet, and clean. All together the most professional construction crew I have ever encountered and we absolutely love the results! Berlin listened to our vision and provided knowledge recommendations. At every step of the process he was available to answer questions and update us on the progress. Ultimately, the work he did transformed our home, exceeded our expectations and now we enjoy it every day. I highly recommend Vindel's Construction and plan to hire them again in the future. read more

Mr. Vindel's company built a retaining wall for our front yard, and I am so extremely pleased with his firm, and the work he and Erik and Gustavo did for us. I have recommended Berlin to several other people already. I get compliments on his work from passersby almost every week since he finished the installation. I had seen Berlin's work about a year before when he did an extensive retaining wall for my neighbor. Mr. Vindel responded to my initial call promptly, the site was cleaned when they were finished, and I wholeheartedly recommend his work. read more

Berlin and his team did an excellent job. He was competitively priced, quoted a significantly shorter duration for the project, and was able to start right away. He had a large team and they were all fast workers. He was very approachable, responsive, and flexible. We're very happy with the concrete and the retaining wall. read more

I would highly recommend Vindel's construction and his team to anyone looking for the quality and reasonable price. From the minute I called Berlin responded to me right away. Berlin listened to what we wanted and was able to suggest alternative ideas or solutions to make the outcome of our project even better than we had hoped. The entire team was very polite and cleaned up the worksite every day. Thank you Vindel's construction made my front and back yard look very nice I'm very happy with the results. read more

After thinking about what to do with our yard for years, we finally decided to do something about it. We called several general contractors and got ideas and quotes. When we met Berlin Vindel, we felt like we had finally found someone we could trust. Berlin did a great job explaining his idea for my yard in a way that we could easily understand. Berlin quoted an excellent price on the job and explained the contract completely. Berlin and his crew were the most professional group we've ever worked with. He showed up on time, EVERY time which is unheard of in the construction industry. They explained every step of the process and made sure we were informed anytime a decision needed to be made. I always asked for Berlin's recommendation and he gave me one or two options and helped me along the way. Berlin was very patient with us since we often didn't know what we wanted. He prides himself on doing the job right. He is proud of his work and it shows. His crew worked harder than I've ever seen a construction crew work. When I need a general contractor in the future, Berlin will be the man I call. He definitely earned my future business. I highly recommend his company for retaining walls. He also does painting and concrete work. You will not be disappointed with this general contractor. Most important, his work far exceeded my expectations and he finished ahead of schedule and on budget. What more could you ask? read more

Vindel's Construction just completed installing beautiful pavers in our backyard and in a front yard walkway. I can't say enough good things about Berlin and his crew. Berlin the owner is extremely professional and personable. He is so good at communicating throughout the project. You will never be wondering about a thing. He is knowledgeable and has great work ethic and integrity. His crew is hard working and skilled at what they do. This is not the first project Berlin has completed for us. He was originally recommended by RCP Block in Santee for a retaining wall. I am looking forward to working with Berlin and his crew on our next project which is an outdoor bar. read more

Berlin Vindel and his crew recently constructed a 60 feet long retaining wall for us, as our old wall collapsed during the first winter rain storm. We are so happy we decided to go with Vindel's Construction as the final results could not be better and Berlin was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. The project took a long time and was constantly delayed due to the heavy rains that kept on coming. Berlin continuously monitored the weather situation and made sure to cover up the work area with tarps to protect it from the rain. And as soon as the weather improved his crew came back to move the project forward. Overall this was truly a 5-star experience and Berlin will be the first person we call for any future hardscaping/construction work. read more

We recently hired Berlin to do some work around our house: replace driveway, create an outdoor dining space, and redo patio surface. Overall, we have been extremely satisfied with the work that his crew completed. From the very beginning, I felt that Berlin was very personable and honest. He gave us the true disadvantages/advantages of each option before we made decisions. There were a few things that we had considered redoing, but Berlin had given us his honest opinion in weighing cost vs benefit. He easily could have taken advantage of the situation just to add another job in order to make more money, but instead, he gave us alternatives that would make for better financial decisions. Berlin always kept us up to date on the progress of the project. He was easily available throughout the job and was frequently there, working with his crew. He always touched base on what was done that day, what the plan was for the next day, and what would be needed. He and his crew were always extremely friendly to our family, even the dog! One of the workers even cleared a "path" for our toddler to walk after they had dug up the driveway. So far, we have received many complements on the work that they completed. I had to ask them for more cards to give to the neighbors. I would definitely recommend Vindel's Construction to you! Those guys were great! read more

I was referred to Berlin by family members! He was great to work with. We are trying to save water so we removed the grass out front. He installed new sprinklers, did some planting and added the rock ground cover. He picked up materials and made sure the job was completed with our satisfaction. His crew is friendly and hard working. They finished the job quickly and left my yard very clean. The whole process was awesome! I would definitely hire his crew again. They take pride in their work and will really go the extra mile! read more

We had Vindel's Construction put in some retaining walls and steps on a hill in our backyard. Berlin and his team did a fantastic job! The walls and steps look great! Really enhanced our back yard. The overall experience with Berlin and his team was very positive. Berlin is knowledgeable, professional, and polite. Berlin's team is courteous and very hard working. They were at our place at 7:00 a.m. and worked a full day every day, and completed the project within the estimated time schedule. Berlin strives for customer satisfaction. Berlin would communicate with us daily to keep us updated on the project status, to answer any questions we had, and make any adjustments we requested to make sure the project was done the way we wanted it. His team was respectful of our property and left our yard clean after the job completion. I highly recommend Vindel's Construction. read more

I am so glad I went with Vindel's Construction for revamping my front yard as I'm absolutely thrilled with the outcome. The project was completed a few days ago within the time frame and price quoted by Berlin. His crew arrived promptly every morning and worked all day on my project until the job was completed. At the end of each day they left the property looking neat and clean by putting away all their tools/equipment and blowing away any dirt/debris. Berlin spent the better part of each day on my project and if I happened to contact him while he was away he'd always get back to me promptly. Berlin helped with the re-design of my front yard that involved the installation of artificial turf, decorative rock and wood chips. He was polite, courteous and attentive to all my thoughts, concerns and budget and very patient and open to any changes that I suggested after the work had begun. From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure to work with Berlin and I will definitely be using him again for any future projects. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend him to any of my friends and neighbors. Thank you Berlin and your crew for doing such a good job. (As an add-on to my front yard project, Berlin also laid down sod in my back yard and it looks beautiful.) I also want to thank all of you who wrote reviews on Vindel's Construction as it helped me make my decision. Each one of you was so accurate about your experience with Vindel's and because of you I've found a good and honest contractor. Thank you. read more
