In follow up to my review, Fabio came through to address the drainage issue, installing a channel…read moredrain to replace the existing one. While I was only asking for the driveway drainage issue to be addressed, his crew fixed several other items over a two day period (damaged stucco, drainage pit for mini split unit to name a few). While the new drainage looks promising, I won't really be able to adequately review until the rains start. However, at this point I am very happy with the outcome. Taynara Melo, project manager on my project, and her crew, no longer work for Martin Pavers. Taynara and her husband Fernando Moreira have started their own company based in Concord. Anyone reading this review and looking at/deciding on a potential paver company for a project should be very careful of Elite Pavers. Had my initial interactions with Martin Pavers been only with Taynara, I would not have moved forward with this project. Her lack of knowledge, experience and general poor work ethic would have had me looking elsewhere. However, I have no further issues with Fabio and Martin Pavers.

The drainage was not working, I had to call them back to redo for 3 times (while it's really hard to get them back). The retaining wall was built totally wrong ! Even I as someone knows nothing about paver noticed they just put the bricks together and did not do anything at the back, I questioned while they were doing it that there should be drainage and on the back there should be some treatment, but Luis said that was the way they build. After 1st raining season, the water, mud came all from the retaining wall and they look really terrible, the mud and water stayed on my backyard pavers since the spot drainage can not catch them! I'm working with other contracts this year to fix the retain wall Martin Pavers did, and surprised to see it (Martin Paver) is still in the market !! I feel the urge to share my experience for this vendor. Feel free to contact me for more details and photos.

We used Lema for installation of five new windows upstairs and downstairs, patching and painting throughout our house, and for a full remodel of an upstairs office. During the process we also added on several extra paint jobs for bedrooms and patch jobs for other work. Throughout the whole process, Luis was incredibly responsive. Invoices and billing was very detailed, very clear, and very fair. And the entire crew was always professional and the work quality was excellent. The network of quality contractors Luis knows is a great bonus and incredibly helpful. I've already recommended them to several friends and will definitely call on them again when we have more projects. -- Also, the construction work was due to updating our house from knob and tube wiring -- and the electrician we ended up using was also recommended by Lema -- and they were excellent as well (Galvez Electrical).

Highly recommended! I'll be using them again.

Izet and his crew helped me remodel my kitchen in late 2020 which was an absolute godsend at the…read moretime as our old kitchen was incredibly dated and we were stuck at home so much during those times. He and his crew took my renderings of the kitchen layout + cabinet selection and turned them into reality. From demo to reconstruction, he gracefully handled the mid-project change of moving the location of the stove & re-routing the gas + alerting the plumbing for the sink to be in it's place, as well as some hurdles with inspectors & the electrician. The kitchen looks amazing and has served us well for the last 4 years until more recently when floor tiles started to crack and pop off. My house is built on clay, and every winter the building experiences some above-average movement, however tiles aren't coming off in other parts of the building... Upon investigation, of a single tile and consulting with some tile pros it appeared that the tiles had been laid incorrectly the first time. I called up Izet and he came out to see the situation. Upon seeing it he immediately offered to redo the kitchen floor, from subfloor to tiles if I would provide the replacement tiles. We agreed and his crew redid the work a few weeks later. It really goes to show how much integrity Izet brings to the table that he wanted to make this right at no small cost to his business. I'd absolutely work with Izet again!
