Get matched with top retaining wall installers in San Juan Bautista, CA

"He does quality work and always listens to my ideas and what I want done, on time and professional, he follows through and does good quality work"

"We had Jose install about 650 sq.ft. of turf and the workmanship and speed were truly exceptional. The only reason I rated the overall quality 4 stars was that getting in contact with him was difficult at best and I had no idea anything was even happening until he called me and said he would be there in the morning the following day. However, when Jose did show up the work took 2 days and the results were superb!"

"He is honest, does what he says he would, does a great work. Good personality, good man."

"I would recommend Mario Salinas for any concrete work. Extremely happy with our new patio. He also built a retaining wall and fence for us, which was also excellent work."

"Excellent job…on time, professional, beautiful work and great communication"

"The landscape designer was creative and knowledgeable. They took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and the end result was a beautiful and functional outdoor space."

"He's very professional and honest."

"Armando of Arsa was one of the original builders on our Mediterranean/Spanish Revival custom house in Pebble Beach back in 2004. He led a team of skilled craftsmen who essentially built and installed everything after the frame of the house was up. He did an outstanding job in the tilework, brickwork, stonework, installation of marble flooring and stone inlay, along with the stucco finish of the exterior and interior walls. Since 2004, I have called on his expertise to help with anything and everything - small repairs such as rebuilding a fence after a storm to larger repairs like roof leaks. I have worked with a number of contractors and handymen over the years in the Monterey/Pebble Beach area as well as the San Francisco Bay Area, and as many may know, it's challenging to find a quality and trustworthy contractor (or handymen who pride themselves on meticulous, quality, long-lasting craftsmanship). Armando prides himself in doing good work and for a licensed contractor, you won't find better than his rates. He is hardworking, meticulous, responsive, responsible. He is up for any job, from the most simple to the most intricate using high end building materials. Apart from new construction, he is a sharp and thoughtful problem solver for home repairs, remodeling and renovations. Example of his work, ethics, and problem solving abilities:For the past 2 years, we have had a roof leak in the living room with water stains finding their way down interior walls. After consulting 4 roofers (one was the original roofer of our house and couldn't figure out the problem, another said he would help but then was never heard from again despite multiple phone calls, and yet another who tried to diagnose the issue could not ever find the actual root of the problem), I finally asked for Armando's help. I was initially skeptical he would be able to come up with a solution after the 4 previous roofers failed to do so. It took him less than hour to think through the issue and we decided to test his solution on small part of the roof (as a cost-saving measure so as not to do repair on the entire roof perimeter in case it was not the solution). The repair was painstaking - little by little hand chiseling out the stucco at the second story wall right above the roof flashing of the first story, waterproof it and then re-stuccoing the perimeter wall. More evidence of the integrity he holds for his work is matching the exact color and texture of the stucco - only one place in the region made it and he gladly drove over an hr there to get the RIGHT materials (initially I said it didn't matter and did not have to be an exact match, but because it gets strong sun during the day, even the most minute of color differences would have been visible - Armando had the foresight to advise against a mismatch). Even if the previous contractors/roofers were able to diagnosed the problem, I doubt they would have had the patience or the skills to take on this painstaking process. Because some of Armando's specialties are in hardscaping and masonry, he was a perfect fit for this work. When no further leaks were detected after a light rain, he completed the rest of the roof repair. After the stormy rains once in 2021 and again at the beginning of 2022, we have been floored and amazed that there have not been any.further.leaks!!! I have no doubt that Armando cannot handle any job and I strongly recommend him for your next project (if he cannot handle it, he will be upfront with you). Give him the chance and you will be amazed at the outcome. If you would like to see more evidence of his work, please feel free to contact me through Armando."
