I discovered Quicksand after a long list of disreputable companies tried to sell me a bunch of…read morehogwash. Some background: 8 years ago I wanted my house painted and got talked into Tex-Cote, a truly awful product that started bubbling and peeling off the house a few years later. A few weeks ago, one of those predatory companies that canvass neighborhoods looking for work scared me into accepting a ridiculously high bid, which, after discussing with friends, I cancelled. Several calls and bids followed; some who wouldn't even bother working in LA County, some insanely high bids, and some insanely low. After hiring a guy on the insanely low end (warning!) who worked 45 minutes with high-pressure water and said it wasn't going to work and I would have to have the house sandblasted, I found Quicksand. Joey came out to look at the house and explained how and why the others' bids were too high or low. He answered all my questions openly and honestly (oh, and FYI, they are the company others subcontract sandblasting out to). He gave me a very reasonable quote, and was the FIRST company to know Long Beach has very specific laws requiring testing for lead paint and permit for sandblasting! I paid a reasonable deposit, with payment for sandblasting and stucco due after each was done. Communication was excellent. They scheduled the job promptly, showed up and completed the sandblasting in one day. I picked a stucco color and finish and the stucco crew was out and doing the job in no time. They did a beautiful job! The crews are courteous and hard-working, and Joey supervised the project from beginning to end. They even came out the day after the stuccoing and installed new vent covers since there were several missing, and the rest were beat to hell. All in all, a wonderful experience! Joey is personable and funny, and a joy to work with. I highly recommend Quicksand if you need your house sandblasted/re-stuccoed.

My 25 pieces were…read morebroken, tearing, chipped or all of the above and when they got done with them -- a week ahead of the four weeks they said it would take -- they looked brand new and beautiful. What's more, Colin (the owner's son) is incredibly honest. The first estimate he gave me included about $1,500 for a clear coat he said was needed for the color I chose. I signed the estimate and paid 1/2 for the deposit. Then Colin called me to say that he wouldn't need to do the clear coat after all, so he was taking that money off the second payment and sending me a new invoice. So many businesses wouldn't have bothered doing this once the client signed and agreed, since they could have pocketed the additional money and I would have been none the wiser. Not these guys! Given that experience, and the finished product, I recommend these nice, honest, small-business owners 1,000%. CFR Patio isn't cheap, but it is more than worth it if you have pricey patio furniture, since redoing my 25 pieces of furniture cost about the same as buying 4-5 replacement chairs. Oh, and their delivery guys are incredibly nice and helpful. Helped me move around the furniture more than once to get it all back the way I wanted. Really can't say enough good things about CFR! Colin, I'm ready to send you the umbrellas next!

He took the time to carefully measure everything, explain the work clearly, and helped our community make the right long-term decisions instead of just the cheapest fix. The quality of the concrete work turned out great, and what impressed us the most was the follow-up service after completion. When we had some concerns about curing color variation, Joe personally came back with his team to inspect and take care of everything right away. That level of responsibility and professionalism is rare nowadays. Very fair pricing, great communication, and a team that truly stands behind their work.
