".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."

"Tim was excellent. So happy I found him. He installed 3 toilet repair kits for $75 that Assure Plumbing quoted for $300. He was very professional, very efficient, and very friendly. I highly recommend Tim and will use him again in the future when the need arises. <br />"

"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."

"Our experience was start-to-finish terrific. Travis is a great communicator; professional, timely, and honest. It's very clear that this team wants to get the job done properly. He overcame some unexpected hurdles in his resourcing, and weather to really shine. They took care to pick up palm tree arrangements weighing several hundred lbs a piece, transport, then install them in our front yard. Loads of extra dirt displaced, and the crew simply loaded it in their trucks, and transported it away. The job was completed quick without a trace of debris left. Our lawn is stunning, and I'll have Travis on speed dial for our very next needs."

"I am very satisfied with the work River Rock Outscape performed. Their price was reasonable (not the lowest nor the highest bid I received) and they were helpful and professional throughout the entire job. They worked with me to accommodate new or modified requests as the project progressed, and everything came out looking fantastic. They also took the time to clean up each day before heading out, sweeping any dust or gravel, so that the impact to my neighbors and neighborhood was minimal. They also did a pavers job for my parents 6 years ago and their work from then still looks great."

"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 />"

"Excellent job. Crew removed all landscaping, plugged all sprinkler pipes or removed that were no longer used and poured new driveway. Also replaced and upgraded my water main pipe for reasonable price. Crew was very professional and project came out great."
