When we were ready earlier this year to get the work done we did extensive extensive research online since we were new to the area and didn't know anyone. Of the 8 companies we contacted, Johnny and Hard Rock Effex stood out from the beginning. Johnny got back to us quickly after we contacted him and got us a quote quickly right after he came to our home. Some of the other companies took weeks to get back to us, if they even got back to us at all. After reviewing the quotes we got and interacting with the representatives of the other companies, it was clear Johnny and Hard Rock Effex were the company for us. We have nothing but great things to say about them. From Johnny to his foreman to all the guys who work for him, they were all such a pleasure to deal with. They were on time, kept a neat workplace, were respectful and all around lovely guys to deal with. Johnny listened to what we wanted, answered all our questions and made suggestions when he thought it was necessary. We trusted him implicitly and his suggestions were always right. The end result is our pool and backyard are absolutely beautiful! As we went through the process we started realizing we needed new landscape lighting and new gates. We asked Johnny if he could do those as well and he could. It made our lives so much easier dealing with one person/company for everything. Hard Rock Effex does high quality work and charges reasonable prices. We highly, highly recommend Hard Rock Effex and Johnny and his crew. They did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it, and met every deadline. Every step of the way their experience, expertise, and professionalism shone through. If you want high quality work and great customer service at a reasonable price, Hard Rock Effex can't be beat.

My wife and I recently bought a fixer-upper house to call our forever home, and we quickly realized…read morethat the shared wood fence along our property line had been neglected for decades. After looking into replacement options such as wood and vinyl, we decided to invest in a slumpstone wall for its lack of maintenance required and longevity. After consulting with several local masonry contractors, we chose CPF Masonry and it was a great decision! We valued Pat's extensive knowledge of the requirements for a structural wall and their pricing was highly competitive. Pat also demonstrated extreme patience with us during a lengthy pre-construction phase as we were dealing with a difficult neighbor for the project. CPF Masonry managed the entire project from start to finish: tearing down and hauling away the old wooden fence, building the new stone wall, and helping with the cleanup afterwards. The final product looks absolutely phenomenal and completely transformed the aesthetic of our backyard. If you are looking for an honest, highly skilled, and completely reliable masonry team in the Thousand Oaks and Ventura County area, I cannot recommend Pat and the CPF Masonry crew enough!

I definitely recommend them and will have them back for future jobs.

In my humble opinion and actual experience I can say the following…read more I used Anthony's landscaping services well over a year ago and wanted time to pass so I could reflect and make sure my opinion of he and his services were still the same as when he left our house for the last time. In the beginning Anthony was polite and attentive. As time progressed however, his attitude and professionalism became increasingly subpar. He under bid our project to secure our deposit. Told me that if he was over budget he would "eat the costs" and anything under, he would reduce the amount owed. When he realized he was not going to finish our approved plans as promised he decided to end the project and we were left with a torn down gate, cracked cement, and an unfinished fence. He installed a gas line and put a wheel valve handle knob for the shut off mechanism. I asked him to replace it with a handle valve so one can automatically see if the gas was in the off or on position. He would not change it out and said "it was within specs". Thank goodness for the the gas company inspector who told him to not only replace the knob with the correct handle but to dig up the buried gas line and wrap a metal coil around the line so that one can know where the gas line was buried. There is more to this event but will leave it where it belongs, in the past. It is my sincere hope that my negative experience does not befall others. As always, ask lots of questions and get everything in writing.

Tony's attitude of practicality and how-do-we-save-money convinced us. Lots and lots (and lots) of succulents, decomposed granite walkways, boulders and drought tolerant plants. Anthony worked with and improved the landscape plans. "I know it calls for this but it is not going to make a difference in 18 months. Go with this at 1/3rd the cost." Anthony was reliable, responsive and generous with his time, going with us to local nurseries. We enjoyed working with him, his dog Geo, and his workers. He was at our home for over a month. Surprisingly, given the many changes, we came in at budget. We highly recommend his work.

I've worked with Rabin General Construction on multiple major projects over the years, including…read morerepairing two separate slab leaks and completing extensive renovations to our home.

They communicate clearly, show up when they say they will, keep the job site clean, and genuinely care about doing the job the right way--not just the fastest way. The quality of their workmanship is outstanding. Every repair and renovation has been completed with exceptional attention to detail, and it's obvious they take pride in their craft. They don't cut corners, and they treat your home with the same care and respect they would their own. What really sets RGC apart is their customer service. Rich is extremely responsive, keeps you informed throughout the project, and is always willing to answer questions or offer honest advice. It's rare to find a contractor who is this reliable, responsible, and committed to customer satisfaction. Whether it's a major renovation, a plumbing repair, or any other home improvement project, I recommend Rabin General Construction without hesitation. They've earned my trust through consistently excellent work, and they will continue to be my go-to contractor for anything home repair or renovation related.
