Seattle Eastside Pavers installed pavers in our backyard in September 2023. We paid extra to have…read moresealant put in between to pavers to make sure that we don't have weeds growing there. This was primarily the reason why we paid to have the pavers done. 1 year in and there are weeds already growing in between the tiles. There are visible gaps in between the tiles where the sealant should have been applied. It looks like the sealant work was not done well (check pictures). There are a couple of loose tiles as well, near the entrance of the backyard, which just points to shoddy work. Communication has also been pretty poor. I don't hear back about any questions or messages that I send until I email back again asking for an update. Here's my recent email chain about this issue. ================= Walter Angel Alfaro Wed, Sep 18, 12:26PM I'LL TRY TO STOP BY ONE OF THESE DAYS Jeffrey Johnson Wed, Sep 18, 12:28PM to Walter Thanks. Jeffrey Johnson Sep 28, 2024, 11:42AM to Walter Are you going to be able to make it this week? Walter Angel Alfaro Sep 28, 2024, 11:44AM to me yes I will be there today after 4pm Jeffrey Johnson Oct 15, 2024, 10:32AM to Walter what did the provider say about the weeds growing inside the sealant? when can you come fix the gaps in the sealant and the lose tile near the entrance? Walter Angel Alfaro Oct 15, 2024, 10:50AM to me I already spoke with them and I'm waiting for a response ================== This issue is still unresolved as of today Oct 31 and I have not received any update since the last email pasted above on Oct 15. Update 1: The rant about Nature is a bit puzzling. The yard was swept once a week as recommended, so pointing to that as the issue is a cop out for the poor quality work done on the sealant. Did nature create gaps in the tiles where the sealant should be? Is nature the reason for the poor communication? As a business you select what providers and materials you will work with. Its not the responsibility of the customer to get in contact with the suppliers you are using for doing the work you are paid for.

They also repaired window trim bricks to coordinate with my window replacement, and gave me a very good price for that extra work. Everything was done on schedule, and the work looks fantastic. It's not easy to find good contractors. I'd definitely call them again and recommend them to anyone who needs chimney or masonry work.

We used Rios to construct our patio many years ago. They did a good job then and came back to sand…read moreand seal a few years later. We called them last year to repeat the sand and seal. They didn't arrive when they said they would and I had to make multiple calls to reschedule. It was very difficult to get them to call back. Even when they finally did they didn't arrive on the day they said they would and rescheduled but didn't show again. They finally did show and about an hour into the job I went outside to find one of their workers urinating on the side of our fence. They did not sand properly (we paid the total for the job) and we've tried to get them to come back out to complete the job. Frank came out and said he'd schedule the repair but he never did and now no one returns our calls. They also said they sealed it but we have moss growing in the surface of our pavers. Avoid this company. You will end up being disappointed.

Upfront: Coordinating with Rios was easy. Freddie was super responsive / really friendly and was able to come by the site with 2 days to assess the project. I was expecting a response / estimate back within 1-2 days but it took more like week. I was not in a hurry with the project so this delay didn't matter too much. Paver Patio: The crew worked very efficiently. They were able to remove grass / soil the first day and bring in new soil, sand, pavers the following day. In total - it took the team 3 days (not full days - they had to stop work on one of the days because it started to rain so hard) to complete the project. Other Notes: Once the paver patio was complete - the last piece of the project was to fill a certain area with river rocks. When I called to ask when the rocks will be put in I was told "this afternoon" and the next time "tomorrow". This was probably my only negative experience of working with Rios. I was not in a hurry so I didn't mind if the rocks were put in the same day, next day or a few days later. As a customer - I didn't appreciate not having the actions align with what I was told. Again - overall, i am happy with the project. The patio looks good.
