Carlos, owner of CF Grading and Excavation was one of three contractors who expressed an interest…read morein the demolition and removal of our pool. Of the three, Carlos was the ONLY one who kept his appointment and returned a bid quickly. After receiving his bid, we pondered the idea of a pool renovation instead of demo. Carlos had followed up with us and inquiring if we wanted to move forward with the demo. I had mentioned to Carlos we were now entertaining the idea of a renovation. He was understanding and asked us to contact him if we made a decision to go the demo route. This past week, Carlos followed up with us. Although we had decided days before to go with the pool renovation, I was very impressed with Carlos, his responsiveness, and his customer service. Although we can't speak to the actual demolition experience, I can say Carlos and his company deserves high regards for what has been previously mentioned.

I had to replace my sewer line from the clean out to city main. Out of 3 contractors I talked to, I…read morepicked Carlos. His bid covered most thoroughly for material and labor and the price was very reasonable. on the day of the estimate, Carlos took his time to answer my questions, show me pictures and videos of the jobs he had done, which was helpful to me, being a visual person. I had to go back and forth with Carlos with questions and answer. He was prompt in responding and straight to the point when explaining things to me. He and his team did a great job in the sewer replacement. They came early on the days of the job and work diligently to complete the work. It was a pretty extensive job, digging two holes, one on the street, one on my property, then SDR 17 pipe was pulled from my property to the main. The Seaside city required the work to include paving the street with 20 ft by 10 ft asphalts to covered the hole on the street. That had took the whole day, but it was beautifully done. The material and amount of work required was actually more than the estimate, but Carlos stuck with the price of the bid. I really appreciate Carlos work ethic. I had worked with several contractors and they had all charged me additional cost on top of the bids. I would recommand Carlos for his professionalism, great communication and honesty.

We hired Ismael and Isabel October 2024 to remove an old driveway made of concrete and asphalt,…read moregrade around our newly built adu, replace and extend the driveway with asphalt, lay gravel, and install a concrete walkway. They worked with care, professionalism, humor and had good communication throughout. They kept our property as clean as they could during the entire job. Ismael and Isabel cut, dug and leveled all the areas. They have their own equipment and it's amazing to see just two people handle such a large job. He supervised the concrete walk install as he subcontracted this work out. In the middle of digging, they encountered a concrete slab from an old garage and driveway. It was not part of the bid to remove, so Ismael provided us with various options, pros/cons for what should be done and the costs. The most cost efficient option was to keep the slab removing all of the loose concrete and level with additional asphalt. Of the 3000 SQFT of grading he did, there is a slight puddle that occurs during the rain between the concrete and asphalt area. The water clears quickly though. Pretty amazing considering the slope of our driveway. I would enthusiastically hire them again!
