".I want to start off by saying that both Paul and his assistant Hector were such great people to work with from beginning to end, not to mention the fact that their work is the absolute best in the industry. We found Paul because he came highly recommended by our architect to rebuild the masonry fireplace in our 1920s Spanish-style home. From the moment we called Paul to inquire about his work he was curteous, professional, knowledgeable and most importantly RESPONSIVE. Ok regarding bids, we also called his competitor just because we wanted to see what our options were. When it came to pricing, both were the same, give or take a few dollars. On "first impression" both were also the same and equally likeable. But what would have naturally been a deal breaker- Paul's nominal fee for coming to our home to prepare a bid- turned out to be a good thing! Allow me to explain: what you get by paying Paul his small fee is much more than what anyone could expect to get even with an estimate that's paid for. First, we got his bid immediately (within 24 hours). Secondly, his bid was extremely detailed and easy to understand with the cost of everything broken down. In it there were no hidden costs or fees and the fireplace building process was clearly outlined in a chronological manner. Thirdly he provided us with various options as a starting date. And lastly he was responsive to all our questions and maintained contact via email giving us updates regarding permitting and start dates. The competitor, did none of the things Paul did which in retrospect makes sense as we hadn't paid him anything. In fact, the time and effort Paul gave us in the beginning I feel like was worth much more than the small fee he asked for for coming to our home (which by the way gets credited back to you if you hire him). Had we known from the start how solid Paul would turn out to be, we would've been willing to pay more for that estimate! So in case you haven't figured it out by now, we decided to go with Paul Walker of Custom Masonry and Fireplace design. It was a very easy decision for the reasons mentioned above (he was extremely responsive and attentive). And though there were a few hiccoughs at the start of our project- none of which were Paul's doing- Paul once again was very attentive to our needs and seemed to genuinely care about our feelings regarding the situation. He even ended up giving us a huge discount for the inconveniences that again were not his fault. Now about the actual work, I want to reiterate that it is top-notch . And I am what you call "Type A" so when I say "quality" it means his work was vetted with a discerning eye that pays extremely close attention to details. And when our finished product (specifically the fireplace mantle and arch) did not appear the way we had envisioned, Paul did not argue with us, defending his work, nor did he slap us with a bill with added fees for the extra work to make the changes. He showed humility and listened carefully to what we were saying and ended up giving us exactly what we asked for and the finished product was simply perfect. I should add that we were also extremely pleased with the work of all the tradesman he recommended including electrician (we had to fix a bad electrical wiring situation around the original fireplace), plumber (to set up the gas line to the new fireplace), plasterer, and roofer. In fact we ended up using the electrician and plumber for other projects, that's how good they were! When Paul and Hector were finished at the end of each work day they were meticulous about leaving their workspace clean and properly disposed of all trash which was a plus. And one more thing worth mentioning, that is equally, if not the most important observation of Paul, is his candor. I mention it because unfortunately we have been burned by people we've hired (and paid) to do work on the house and turns out that they were unequiped to do the job we commissioned them to do and as a result, we were left feeling both angry and cheated after the deal was done. Perhaps you've experienced this- the person over sells themselves leading you to falsely believe that they are more capable than they really are. However I cannot imagine that you would have this kind of experience dealing with Paul. We came into our fireplace project with a special tile that we wanted set in a specific way on the hearth floor but Paul took the tiles and spent some days thinking about how he would execute the layout but he later came back to us saying he would not be able to give us what we described. His honesty really threw us off. At first were were a little disappointed but the disappointment quickly turned into respect and gratefulness because as it turned out the tiles did not go with the style of our home in addition to the fact that we did not have the space for them. In summation, if you are looking to have a custom fireplace built, don't waste your time reading more reviews and call Paul now."

"I had called for an estimate but by the time he got ahold of me I had already had it installed.  I let him know I wasn't sure that this was done correctly because I don't know anything about the installation of a window air conditioning unit.  At that time he offered to come and take a look.  He assured me it had been done correctly and did not charge me anything for his expert opinion."

"The jobs went smoothly and finished within the day. The owner was very communicative, onsite, and always sought out input to see if things were to my liking which i really appreciated. Team was friendly, fast, and did great work. Left the area cleaner than when they came. Had them do a small driveway pour to see how they worked and the workmanship of the concrete. Overall, I am very pleased I went with JC Landworks. Will definitely use them again as I have much more concrete work around my home I would like done in the future."

"Travis and his team did a wonderful job at completing our front yard landscaping vision. They worked with us to come up with a plan that fit our esthetic and budget. They weren’t pushy or upsellers like some of the companies I had previously interviewed. They were knowledgeable about which types of plants to use where and why, they were punctual and completed the job in a very timely manner, they were professional and left the site clean and tidy each day, and they even did little things to go above and beyond (brought our trash cans out on trash day without being asked, refilled our dog’s water when it was low, etc.). We had a very positive experience with Travis and his team and we were very happy with our curb appeal after they completed the job. We would recommend them for a landscaping job."

"From concept to completion Ben was extremely helpful; gave us multiple options for every aspect of project and computer simulation helped us picture the project in our head very effectively. Was given a time frame to finish project and finished ahead of schedule. Crew was very hard working, courteous and respectful of property."

"ECG did an outstanding job of making the patio cover structurally sound and rain proof, but they also vastly improved the aesthetics making our backyard look great. Ed has a great eye for this. Ed and his team are very conscientious and they take great pride in their work. I would hire them again in a second."

"I first met Mike Larsen when he came out to give me a free estimate.  While he was measuring the project, he identified a unique plumbing issue that would need to be addressed before he could do the work. When I got 2 more quotes, neither contractor noticed the plumbing issue.  One quote was outrageous and the other quote description of the project was 1 sentence.  Selecting Tru-Block Masonry was an easy choice. <br /> Mike and his team arrived and quickly got to work and each day they cleaned the area at the end of the day.  Now I have a beautiful, professionally installed stone veneer on the front of my house.  His work was so good, I referred him to a friend and I will use him again for another project. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"The project was large and took a long time to complete (6 weeks). However, we were less concerned about time and more focused on the work. In the end, everything was great! Not only does everything look nice, the work was well-done. Drainage is no longer an issue, and the whole process was painless. Dave was professional, walking us through each stage of the job. He also worked hard to keep costs down without sacrificing quality. Dave's men were punctual, courteous, and hard-working. Everyone was flexible given that changes were needed as the work progressed. Dave was able to coordinate the concrete work with that by other contractors so that in the end, the work was done on-schedule. Should we need any future concrete work, I would hire Dave Parker without any hesitation."

"WE HAD THEM GET US A TYPE OF FLAT STONE WE HAVE PUT AROUND AS A WALKWAY THROUGH THE PLANTS AND TREES. DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE ARE NOT DONE YET WITH OUR LANDSCAPING, WE WILL NEED TO GO BACK AND GET MORE. THEY HAVE GREAT LOW PRICES AND ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE ITEMS IN STOCK. ALSO THEIR DELIVERY TIME IS THE NEXT DAY."
