He is very motivated to get the job done and, as with our last job, worked hard himself on the project but also brought in other workers as needed. We will definitely use him again. Good value for the quality of the work.

I needed a series of concrete projects done on our property which is on a slope. Many contractors…read morebowed out because the slope, but Joel was confident it wasn't a problem and was very competitive with pricing. Our projects included: 1) Stone steps along the side of our house to match the stone steps on the opposite side of the house. 2) Small patio extension. 3) Stone staircase going from patio down to yard. 4) Concrete footing for another project. I was texting Joel while getting bids, and Joel was very motivated to make it work, beating his competitors and throwing in extras. I had texted him bids from other contractors asking if he'd do the job to the same specifications, and was told he would. Also, I asked if we could curve the stairs and add a retainer wall to one side of our stone staircase, and he said it wouldn't be a problem. I asked if this would change the price, he specifically said no. From there, the project began. Joel came out to check out the space again and noted he'd need more money because the retainer wall would require another pallet of keystone. I wasn't happy about this, but agreed given it was a good deal. As for each part of the project, here were some issues: Stone steps along side of our house - Steps were way too tall, 12-14 inches in some cases, I asked for them to be no taller than 10 inches in line with the rest of the property (which I now understand is still too tall) and even offered him our excess wall caps to prop up steps to not have to buy more keystone. - Sprinkler lines that were in the way I was told would be relocated, but instead the lines were simply cut. Fortunately I wasn't running that side of the sprinkler system or I would have had a nasty $1,000 water bill. My landscape designer spent two hours making repairs to this and cost. - Overall, these are great and I'm happy to have them in. Small patio extension - I asked that the extension be tan concrete to match our existing patio. I was told it would be hard to match exactly given how old our patio was, but I asked him to try his best. Instead, we got standard gray concrete which contrasts sharply with our existing patio. - It's a shame because the shape and placement is perfect. Stone staircase - Drainage wasn't done as listed in the other bids I sent. Some flex piping was added as seen in the photos, but not all the drainage features listed. - The first step down was two inches below the patio, should have either been level (which we eventually did) or a full step down. - The third step down is not level, you can even see this in the photos. - Initially the curvature of the steps wasn't cut to be flush with the retainer wall, leaving a gap, I had to specifically ask him to cut it to be flush. - The gaps between the steps were filled with sand that immediately when it rained, Joel filled this with concrete instead when doing the footing. - I ended up adding a retainer to the other side of the steps, but the price was proportionally a lot more than the other retainer wall. Joel was very flustered talking about pricing, and I noted that I was letting him use my excess caps and that he was keeping the leftover materials (I never got materials delivered, he brought them over daily), he sort of had a bad attitude about it. - Despite being asked not to use the bleached caps on the wall (I instead told him to use them for propping up steps), they ended up capping the wall, which isn't very pretty. - Overall, very functional, love the shape, and we get a lot of use out of these. Concerete footing - Went off without a hitch. - I suppose it's annoying that he cut our flex drainage piping hooked up to our rain gutters and didn't say anything. I noticed a few days later when it rained that water was dumping down near the footing. I wish he'd reconnected the drainage pipe or at least said something. Joel's a nice guy and has done some impressive work. Also, his prices can't be beat. However, I think you really need to be clear about what you need and meticulously check the project as it progresses. I was very lucky to have my landscape designer who sees this stuff all the time guiding me on some of the issues we encountered. He also never returned paperwork or invoices he said he'd provide to me.

The contracting company that we hired did a horrible job but also ruined our concrete floors. We needed to get them redone quickly before the anticipated reopening in CA. First thing right off the bat was the exceptional customer service. I received an email immediately and then a follow up call to schedule the estimate. Obere the own met me the very next day and gave us a fair quote. He even moved a few things around to get us in asap so that we could re-open. He was communicative through the entire process. We ran into a little issue that was not his fault at all. The concrete was not absorbing the product properly and he assured us he would do whatever it took to get it done and get it done right at no additional cost to us. Obere was the BEST. Kind, professional, does quality work and stands behind it. Our floors look AMAZING especially with how beat up they were. We are beyond happy. We have worked with a lot of contractors over the years and working with Apex was hands down the best experience we have had with a contractor. Elisa Owner Peel Simply Skin
