Got quotes from 4 different companies before going with these guys. As a first time homeowner I had no idea where to start, but they made the whole process easy from day one. Pricing was fair and transparent. One of the other companies came in cheaper but had terrible communication from the jump, which was a red flag. These guys showed up when they said they would and actually listened to what I wanted. The kitchen and bathroom came out incredible. Way beyond what I pictured. My friends keep asking who did the work. Already recommended them to my neighbor read more

We hired Winsol Construction for a 450 sqft ADU build along with a full remodel of part of our home. After meeting with several contractors, Daniel stood out because he was detailed, straightforward, and clearly understood the permitting process. The project included foundation work, framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, and complete interior finishes. What we appreciated most was the communication. We always knew what stage we were in and what was coming next. There were a few unexpected challenges during construction (as expected with older homes), but Daniel handled them quickly and explained options clearly without pressure. The finished ADU looks amazing. The layout feels much bigger than 450 sqft, and the finishes came out clean and modern. Inspections passed without issues, and the project stayed close to the original timeline. If you're considering an ADU or full remodel, I would recommend at least meeting with them. read more

We just finished a complete full house remodeling in San Mateo and chose Winsol Construction after speaking with several contractors. Daniel was straightforward, answered our questions clearly, and didn't try to oversell anything, which we really appreciated. The work itself went smoothly. The crew showed up on time, stayed organized, and kept things moving without a lot of back and forth. Communication was solid throughout the project, and any questions we had were handled quickly. The final result came out exactly as expected, and the pricing stayed in line with what was discussed upfront. No surprises, which matters a lot with this type of work. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend Winsol Construction. We would absolutely consider using them again in the future. read more

Daniel and the crew were the most knowledgeable, kind, and flexible folks I've had work on my home. From the initial consultation to project completion, they were communicative, honest, and easy to work with. They showed up on time, explained every step, and answered all my questions without hesitation. The workmanship on both the siding replacement and the roofing is top-tier. You can tell they take pride in their craft, and the final product looks great and feels solid. They also did a fantastic job coordinating with me on scheduling and handling a few unexpected tweaks without any drama. I highly recommend them for any home exterior work. read more

My wife and I recently bought a house in San Mateo that needed pretty much a full remodel, and I was honestly nervous about picking the right contractor. Before choosing Winsol, we interviewed a few different companies, but Daniel from Winsol was the first one who really listened and didn't try to rush us into anything. Our project included a full kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, new flooring, paint, and a lot of other interior updates, and Daniel and the Winsol team handled it really smoothly. From the first walkthrough, he was straightforward about what made sense to do now versus later, and helped us plan the project in phases so it didn't feel overwhelming. They communicated well, showed up when they said they would, and walked us through unexpected issues without drama or surprise add-on costs. The crew was respectful of our home and our neighbors, and they kept the place as clean as you reasonably can during a big remodel. The house now feels exactly how we hoped it would when we first walked in, and I'm genuinely glad we trusted Daniel and Winsol with it. read more

Daniel has been amazing to work with from start to finish. This is the second time I've used Winsol Construction for siding, the first being six months ago and now again for a follow-up project. They are reliable, communicative, and the workmanship is top-notch. The latest siding job came out perfectly, and I'm confident I'll continue to rely on them for all my siding needs around my window installation projects. read more

We recently had our kitchen remodeled by Winsol construction . To say they were amazing would be an understatement. They are such an honest, hard working, and kind group of individuals who take great pride in their work. They showed up when they said they were going to, worked incredibly hard from morning until night, and got the job done exactly when they said they would. I cannot believe they were able to demo & remodel our entire kitchen within 4 weeks. Our kitchen is gorgeous now & we are so grateful that they were able to give us the kitchen of our dreams! Their project manager Daniel was so great on the job he was here before and after the workers each and every day making sure everything was perfect. He went above and beyond to help us day in and day out. I cannot recommend them enough (especially after hearing the horror stories my friends have gone through with their kitchen remodels) and I am looking forward to using them in the future when we are ready to remodel our bathrooms! read more

We did a complete reconstruction of our backyard (over 25k)--pulling out all of our lawn, plants, concrete, etc--and turned our backyard into a retreat that would remind us of the Mediterranean. After getting 3 quotes we took their bid and got to work. It looks amazing! The men who came out to work every day were professional, on time and worked hard. The result is beautiful!! We still have a lot of planting to do, but our home is reinvented! WinSol is amazing. work completed: Pull out all vegetation, level the ground, create a second level for a raised patio, pour and stamp concrete with 2 colors, Poudre extra thick pad for hot tub, compress decomposed gravel for garden area, put in drip system around entire house. read more

To say I'm picky is probably an understatement. I know what I want and how I want it and love to look at details. My almost 2 year old house came with a dirt backyard which over time became a yard full of weeds and dead brush. Hubby and I finally decided to remove the fire hazard and look into landscapers. Solinsky Gardens Yelp page (company name before merging to become Winsol Groundworks) was very impressive and to be honest, it intimidated me a bit because the scope of our project wasn't nearly as fancy as some of their other work. I contacted Will and scheduled a time for him to meet with me. When he came to our house, he described what he would do with our yard and it was almost identical to what I had in mind. He was very thorough in evaluating the yard and providing feedback. To do proper due diligence on my part, I met with several other landscapers, none of whom seemed as knowledgeable and thorough as Will. I had a good feeling about him from the start and told close friends and family that I wanted to work with him, but the price was holding me back. After explaining our situation, Will suggested areas to modify or cut back on for the time being, so we moved forward. He and his crew did not disappoint. 1.5 weeks later, our yard is done and looks better than I ever imagined it could. The extended patio and concrete walkway look great, the redwood planter boxes they built are high quality, the moss rock wall (which Will suggested as an alternative to other more expensive retaining walls) is so nice to look at, and the plant/tree selection that Will guided us through was spot on. Whenever I was iffy on something, I called or emailed Will and many times he replied within 10 minutes. I feel like a parent who is bragging about their child, but our yard looks great!! I highly recommend Will and Winsol Groundworks for your landscaping project and would hire these guys again for my next house ;). Pictures to follow. read more

All I can say is FREAKIN AWESOME!!! Worked with Will Solinski, and he is THE MAN! My back yard was a disaster! Weeds, garbage, just an eyesore! Will came in and immediately took the rope! He helped me figure out exactly what to do, and his team was so amazing! They worked non-stop until the job was perfect! And the price... was beyond fair. After reviewing many companies, I have no regrets going with WinSol. read more

WinSol did a great job on our backyard landscaping project! Will was very clear and responsive through all of his communication (email, phone, in person, text). The project was delivered ahead of schedule; I will definitely call WinSol when it comes time to landscape our front yard! read more

I highly recommend Winsol Groundworks for your landscaping! Will Solinsky and his team have done an amazing job landscaping our front and back yards. His customer service is wonderful.

My husband and I worked with WinSol Groundworks this year to re-landscape both our back and front yards, and we couldn't be happier with the results. At the beginning of this journey, we searched for well-reviewed landscapers, and contacted our top 3-- of those, WinSol was the only one to call back, and they called back within 24 hours! We met with Will for our initial consult of the backyard, and felt immediately that he was trustworthy and had our best interests in mind. WinSol sent us an estimate outlining all costs, and then we streamlined it a bit to meet our budget before moving forward with the work. We were given photos and names of plants that grew well in our area, and were able to select the ones we liked best. Will helped us redesign our backyard from weeds and broken concrete to a beautiful lawn, plant areas, sprinkler and drip systems with timer, stamped concrete patio, and custom crawl space cover. Will and his crews were diligent in all their work and clean-up. The plants were guaranteed with a 90-day warranty and once the work was completed, Will provided weekly and monthly follow-up visits to ensure everything was growing as it should be and updated the watering schedules on the timer-- all free of charge!! After our backyard was transformed, we moved forward in re-landscaping our front yard with a similar process. Will helped us create a more creative, beautiful front yard of new lawn, planting areas, sprinkler and drip systems added to the existing timer, and evening out our concrete walkway which had been bumped up by tree roots. The finished product is beautiful, and they did a wonderful job matching the color of the new concrete to the old-- it's virtually indistinguishable!! We are absolutely thrilled with our WinSol experience and highly recommend them. read more

While Winsol wasn't able to fully assist with needs, the staff members I was fortunate enough to work with have been extremely helpful, knowledgeable and easy to contract with. I would highly recommend giving them a shot for your next project! read more

WinSol completely transformed my mother's front yard from a water thirsty lawn into a beautiful no grass landscape. Will was terrific to work with and came up with a great design. He was extremely responsive to changes and always had good ideas. Geraldo and team came in and worked diligently to get the job done in less than two weeks. Just amazing! We are so happy that we chose this company and highly recommend them. read more

Will helped me plan the landscaping of our new front yard, and he did a great job of it. He managed to combine what I liked with his more experienced perspective, and the final result is beautiful. He also helped me figure out a creative pathway to our front door that I just love. I highly recommend Will and WinSol. read more

I had a disappointing experience with Winsol. They came and gave me a quote for some landscaping work in my yard and did a great job of addressing all my needs and concerns. Their price had many line items in it with values for each so that I could decide what I wanted to include and exclude from the work. They were very good at working on the pricing with me and we got to a mutually agreeable scope of work. Then I was sent a contract to sign that was more burdensome and detailed than a lot of other contracts out there that I've signed for home improvement work. Most of the language in the contract was fine, protecting both the homeowner and the contractor. But there were a couple sections in the contract that I felt put the homeowner at a legal disadvantage should any issues occur with the work after the start of construction. I asked for revisions to be made to the contract so that it could be mutually agreeable, like the scope of work we collaborated on. When I asked for revisions to the contract language, it raised a red flag for Winsol that I was going to be someone that was likely to cause problems for them or might not pay them if something went wrong with the work, and they decided they didn't want to do the job anymore. I can understand that they want to protect themselves. As a business, times are hard and making sure you don't expose yourself to risk is paramount to continued success. It's just unfortunate that I know how to read a contract, because my landscaping plans were put on hold just days before the planned start of work. Based on the reviews, I know that Winsol does a great job for many people in this area. I'm sure their work is high quality, and I know from working with them on scope and pricing that they do want to get you the end result you want as close to your budget as possible. If you don't mind signing a very detailed contract that may reduce your legal rights or protection from issues arising during construction, then you should have no problems with Winsol. read more

I want to start off by saying this is the first time I've left a Yelp review after using Yelp for more than 4 years. I felt that I needed to leave a recommendation based on my experience; Winsol is that good. We just finished having our front yard converted from a water hungry grass lawn to a drought tolerant thing of beauty. Starting off with the quote, Will was very accommodating with our work schedule to meet and discuss ideas. He met my wife and I within a couple days of requesting an estimate. He had great ideas for our front yard, but also was open to our ideas and budget. Once we decided to go with Winsol, we were able to get on their schedule the following week. The crew that came out were very nice and incredibly hard workers. The project took a little under 4 days and looks better than I could have imagined. Will has a great eye for the types of plants to use and where to be placed. We couldn't be happier. read more

After saving for months to do something with our tired, overgrown backyard, I started calling around to get some quotes. One guy quoted me so low I couldn't believe it was real and then confirmed my suspicions by never even following up with a written quote, email or phone call. I had another guy who quoted me insanely high for only 2/3rds of the work WinSol eventually did beautifully for me. Will showed up and even gave me courtesy call to let me know he was 15 minutes behind in traffic. We walked through the yard and I just pointed out everything I hated and I told him I didn't have a lot of ideas because I didn't know much about landscaping. He jumped right in with ideas and explained them so I could understand and even picture the outcome. As the list of things I wanted grew, he asked me to give him an idea of my budget and then even suggested a few more ideas. He told me he was excited to get back to the office and get a quote emailed to me within the hour and he was certain I would be so happy with the price, I might decide to add a couple other things I had in mind. He was right. I had concrete poured, a tree removed, plants added, gravel, mulch, and they even had a few extra ideas (at no cost) to get around some obstacles when getting ready to pour the concrete. They fixed my sprinkler system and put in a drip system for the climbing plants I had added along a back wall. The crew working on the job were courteous and thoughtful and I felt comfortable with them hanging out all day in my backyard. Will came by a couple days after the work was finished and we did a walk through together to make sure everything was exactly as we talked about. One of my trees wasn't trimmed somehow during the process and he actually ran to his car and did it himself right then. He was awesome and the whole experience was great. I can't wait until we can call them again for the front yard. read more

We had a terrific experience with Winsol Groundworks. From the first time we met him, Will was professional, easy-going, and thoughtful in his approach to our project. We took a bit of time to decide what we wanted done, and each time we contacted Will he patiently talked through any additional questions we had. Every project has some surprises. We had a couple; Will plus Dave handled them with professionalism and fairness that I found refreshing. In the end we could not have been happier with the way our backyard remodel turned out. These guys did a great job! And to boot, Will has been back several times to make sure that everything still looks good and is functioning well. That's another sign of a good company. I would recommend Winsol to anyone doing backyard work and concrete work. read more

I originally found them on Yelp under Solinsky Gardens. Solinskly gardens has merged with a concrete company and now goes by Winsol Groundworks. Will Solinskly and his crew were first class in my book. I had about 8 estimates and he worked with me on some items to meet out budget. We've got a baby due any day so i needed it done sooner rather than later. They were able to get us into the schedule and complete the project before our daughter arrived. They started at 7am every day and worked the entire day for 3 days. His crew were nice, professional, and they cleaned up better than any contractor i've ever seen. they pressure washed every place they had driven their equipment and even hauled off some extra items just to be nice. I don't find many places that i feel do an exemplary job too often but Will and his crew really did. read more

WinSol recently finished a brick driveway extension, front sidewalk, and mow strips at our landpark home. The quality of work is excellent and we couldn't be more pleased. From bid to finish, working with Will was a pleasure. The crew who accomplished the work were professional, friendly, and cleaned up! We've gotten a lot of compliments on the work, too! read more

I love my new backyard. It is all they promised and more. I am not a gardener, and Will helped me to select low maintenance plants that suit me and they are beautiful. The patio is exactly the color I wanted, the retaining wall is great. They provided a progress report everyday. They have followed up to check that the plants are still healthy. The foreman Valentin and Paulino did most of the work; they cleaned up every night before they left and they worked hard while they were here. I can't say enough good things about this company. If I have another project, I will definitely use them. read more

Working with WinSol was a great experience from design to completion. Their bid was fair, and the final product exceeded our expectations.

We contracted with WinSol Groundworks to landscape our backyard in July and were so pleased that we immediately contracted with them to landscape our frontyard. The before and after is unbelievable! Our front yard is so beautiful and inviting and our backyard is now a lovely place to enjoy with company or just quietness. The most important part of the beautiful results is how wonderful it was to work with Will, David and their crew. From the moment we met for an estimate to the day I had to say goodbye was beyond positive. The professionalism, respect, courtesy, and pleasantness was a delight. I actually miss having them here! To complete the transformation of our backyard, we contracted with a couple of other companies as we thought it best to work within their expertise. I can honestly say I wish now we had asked WinSol Groundworks to take care of everything. Although the outcome is OK it is certainly not extraordinary as with the work from WinSol Groundwork. Call WinSol Groundworks is you are considering any landscaping work. I cannot praise them enough. read more

I didn't contract with this company to landscape my hard. You have to fill out a questionnaire on their website and then they decide if the want the job. What happened to the personal touch?! I have a little yard and a little budget so obviously they told me no. I asked him why and that's what he told me. But at least he was honest and he did give me the name of another company so I gave him four stars for helping me anyway! read more

Winsol Groundworks came very highly recommended on Angie's List and responded to my request for an estimate literally within minutes. Will promptly set up a time to evaluate the yard and provided an estimate. The crew were very open to listening to our ideas and collaborating with us on every aspect of the project. We installed new stamped concrete, removed many overgrown plants, and re-shaped a large concrete slab that was once used as a basketball court. Their work surpassed my every expectation. The crew worked hard, cleaned up every day, and used high quality materials. The work was completed in about 3 -4 days. I would highly recommend Winsol Groundworks to anyone looking for both concrete and landscape services. They are truly the best! read more

These guys were great; just had our front yard, which was only weeds, replaced with a new lawn. We had very basic idea of what we wanted it to look like, and Will gave us a design that we, and our neighbors, love. Very professional, excellent communication, reliable, and punctual. Would definitely use them again for any landscaping projects. read more

I recently had concrete steps and other hardscape installed in my front yard (according to my own plan). I chose WinSol Groundworks because of its high Yelp ratings, and because its cost-estimate was competitive with other landscapers. WinSol Groundworks (WG) proved to be an impressively efficient, customer-friendly company. It handled all "paperwork"--i.e., estimating, contract-writing/signing, and billing-- electronically via email. Throughout my project, Annie, --the assigned manager-- maintained constant communication with me via email, and promptly addressed my questions and concerns. WG's crew showed up on schedule, worked hard, and at appropriate times requested that I evaluate their consistency with my plan. I couldn't be more satisfied with WG's final result. I would use them again. read more

I cannot say enough about WinSol Groundworks. From the very start, they were responsive, professional, and accommodating, and they transformed my backyard from an ugly frog to a handsome prince! Will Solinsky came out, took measurements, listened to what I had in mind, and within a half hour, I had a detailed estimate with various options in my email. When I decided on what I wanted, they were able to start the job within a couple of weeks, and they finished one week later. David Winn came out several times to check one the progress, and was a delight to work with. Now I have a gorgeous stamped concrete patio, a fresh green lawn, lovely planter beds, and irrigation. It speaks volumes about a company when they treat their customers well, regardless of the size of the job. My yard and budget were both small, and they were every bit as interested in working with me as they would have been if I'd asked for a six-figure landscape. Needless to say, I did *not* receive the same sort of treatment from other landscape companies I contacted for bids. I can't wait to enjoy the summer in my new backyard, and it's all thanks to WinSol. These guys are top notch! read more

Well it has been a year since our work was done and we have found NUMEROUS things wrong with the work they did. I have called and talked to Will in regards to some of the discrepancies and did not appreciate his attitude. He seems to think since they replaced our sod, YES REPLACED our sod and I can give anyone wanting to know a list of WHY the sod had to be replaced, since they did that, it seems we need to eat it on any other issues that have come up. I am happy with some of the work done, specifically the concrete steps, but as far as the rest of the work I would definately NOT hire them to work for me again. read more

Contacted Will Solinsky and set an appointment. He arrived a bit late and discussed the project with my husband. He was to email us a quotation. He never sent one, didn't respond to my email,he didn't return our calls. He actually hung up on me. I don't understand it! Why bother to come out and look at a project and then not follow through. If he wasn't interested in the project he should've said so. read more

Nicholas and Will are simply a pleasure to work with. Whether discussing concepts early in the process or finalizing the punch list, WinSol is responsive and focused upon the customer. The end product, our brand new patio is simply amazing. My only regret...that we didn't call these guys years ago. One other observation, the crews were great, Jose and his co-workers were polite, cleaned up everyday and are some the hardest working people around. Thanks WinSol! read more

We just finished with our yard using Winsol Groundworks. I give them five stars and if I could give more I would. We started with a landscape architect in San Ramon Ca. He put the plan out to bid and we chose them after reading yelp and upon the architects recommendation. We had extensive work done including grading the lot, concrete patio, concrete sidewalks, full underground drainage system, water feature with several large boulders surrounding it. (which one worker carefully placed the rocks taking several hours to make sure they were pleasing to the eye.) All of the plants were exactly as called for in the plan. If there were any questions I asked, they were addressed immediately. We live in Pleasanton and the crew of between 5 and 7 workers, came all the way from Sacramento and were here between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m every morning until project was finished. Three weeks of after being finished, there was a problem with a portion of the drip system. We called Nicholas at Winsol and he sent two men from Sacramento to fix the problem. It took them one hour and back to Sacramento they went. How is that for service? One concern I would offer is to be aware of adding any extras to the job. As we learned it can become expensive and if you are on a budget, it can get out of line quickly. We feel we have a oasis in our backyard thanks to Winsol Groundworks and his crew. read more

Winsol did a complete renovation of my front and back yards in Elk Grove. They were recommended by a colleague at work, and noting the excellent prior Yelp reviews, I hired them to completely transform it from a place I hated to go into a beautiful low-water usage landscape that I want to spend time in every day after work. Project manager Will Solinsky is a pleasure to work with, extremely knowledgable and responsive. The workers led by foreman Geraldo were very hard working and skillful. I am thrilled with the result. read more

I got several estimates from highly rated concrete contractors on Yelp but only one, Winsol Groundworks, gave me a written estimate. All the others just talked and never gave me anything in writing or email and they all said they would. I'm a licensed contractor and the law states you must provide a written estimate. Will, the owner, was on time and professional as was his crew. I'm very happy with the work and I'll call Winsol Groundworks when I get the money to pour a proper backyard patio. read more
