She was easy to contact, always available to answer questions. Our patio is gorgeous, and it's been so wonderful to have it completed quickly so we could enjoy it this summer! We had made a mistake and asked for the wrong pavers, and Amy was able to fix it for us within a few days. Due to COVID, it did take longer than expected, but fortunately it was able to get done and the outcome is wonderful!

Five stars for Black Diamond. We were looking for a special design to transform our sand dune…read morebackyard into our dream backyard. Of three designs we received, Frances Krebs was the most professional, creative and detail oriented. Her design fulfilled our vision and the execution by her crew led by Ismael and Raul, made our dream come true. Frances (Black Diamond) was the only one of the three companies from which we received designs who was able to build 25 paver stairs and a walkway up the sand dune and create a platform for our view of the golf course and Monterey Bay. Frances and her crew were always punctual, responsible, skillful, considerate and professional. They were able to accomplish all we asked for. Black Diamond, with Frances as the designer and project manager, was definitely the right choice.

We have had extensive work done by Arturo & ACC construction. We have had two ADU units completed…read morefrom start to finish including multiple concrete poured for our sidewalks. Arturo wrote our plans and took care of getting all our plans submitted and approved by the city. They have a wide variety of services they and they seem to be expert in all that they did for us. We couldn't be happier with the work and services he provided. Arturo is talented as his father and big crew of professionals that work for him. These were fairly big projects but Arturo will do smaller jobs as well if needed. Acc did everything they said they would and stayed within the budget that was proposed and it was done on time. They also did a complete bathroom remodel and kitchen remodel in our own home. You name it, they can do it, plans, concrete, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and anything general construction. Arturo and his company are a pleasure to work with and I won't hesitate to work with him again. Thanks a lot Arturo for all the work you did for us. Mark Baerg

I've been working with Arturo this past year and I'm so impressed of his team's work! Arturo made…read moreit easy to work as he was very professional, listened to exactly what I wanted, projects were finished on time and his crew was so nice. Loved how the crew showed up on time and always had the site clean. I started off with the guest bathroom and I liked it so much that I also had him do my master bathroom; made my 2 car garage door into 1 large garage door; and painted the outside of my house. For the quality of work and no surprises, I thought his fees were reasonable. I would definitely recommend ACC Construction!

We had a number of challenges including site access, drainage, removing old concrete, rocky soil and more. FMG gave us creative options, got us scheduled in promptly, worked hard, and delivered exactly what we had hoped for and more. We had passed on a couple other contractors who seemed less flexible in their approach and their pricing. If you are thinking of any project that involves hardscape anywhere in the Monterey county area, I highly recommend that you get a proposal from FMG. Recommend!

In 2015 we signed a contract with Fermin to put pavers in the front, driveway and backyard. When…read moreit was time for then to start the work we were told that he gave the contract to his dad. They completed the work and within one year our driveway collapsed. I had to invest an additional $22,000 to repair the collapsed portions of the driveway. Here we are 6 years later and we have weeds growing up inbetween all of the pavers. A total disaster. I confronted the son about this at the time and he refused to do the work stating that it was his dads job even though we had a signed contract. When I confronted the son, just weeks after the original installation, he said that his company isn't Fermin that that was his dads company and refused to honor the defective work. My mistake was not to insist on the younger son to do the work. Again, a total disaster.... good luck if you get him to do any work.

Of the three, Carlos was the ONLY one who kept his appointment and returned a bid quickly. After receiving his bid, we pondered the idea of a pool renovation instead of demo. Carlos had followed up with us and inquiring if we wanted to move forward with the demo. I had mentioned to Carlos we were now entertaining the idea of a renovation. He was understanding and asked us to contact him if we made a decision to go the demo route. This past week, Carlos followed up with us. Although we had decided days before to go with the pool renovation, I was very impressed with Carlos, his responsiveness, and his customer service. Although we can't speak to the actual demolition experience, I can say Carlos and his company deserves high regards for what has been previously mentioned.

I had to replace my sewer line from the clean out to city main. Out of 3 contractors I talked to, I…read morepicked Carlos. His bid covered most thoroughly for material and labor and the price was very reasonable. on the day of the estimate, Carlos took his time to answer my questions, show me pictures and videos of the jobs he had done, which was helpful to me, being a visual person. I had to go back and forth with Carlos with questions and answer. He was prompt in responding and straight to the point when explaining things to me. He and his team did a great job in the sewer replacement. They came early on the days of the job and work diligently to complete the work. It was a pretty extensive job, digging two holes, one on the street, one on my property, then SDR 17 pipe was pulled from my property to the main. The Seaside city required the work to include paving the street with 20 ft by 10 ft asphalts to covered the hole on the street. That had took the whole day, but it was beautifully done. The material and amount of work required was actually more than the estimate, but Carlos stuck with the price of the bid. I really appreciate Carlos work ethic. I had worked with several contractors and they had all charged me additional cost on top of the bids. I would recommand Carlos for his professionalism, great communication and honesty.

Just moved into the area and wanted to get the side yard developed. It's a small space but we…read morewanted something besides dirt. Went to Yelp and found system pavers. I set up an appointment and our design consultant was Maria Emmet. She provided a ton of information regarding the company, the type of stones she recommended, information on their artificial turf, and advice on the design. Because of the mild slope, she also mentioned I would need a retaining wall. I was hesitant against this since I thought I'd be losing space (on an already small space). Maria said that I would gain so much additional seating since they would make it a sitting retaining wall. She even provided a drawing of the design she had in mind. After that initial meet, we decided to move forward with them. Dan Burnham was our next contact. Dan came out and provided a quick draw up of the yard in person. He spray painted the dirt and let my wife and I see the design. After waking us through the process, his team came out and got to work. It was only a few days of work but the end result is exactly what we were expecting. Now I have a small side yard to let my dog roll on, a bbq area, and a place to just relax. These guys are top notch. I would definitely recommend these guys.

We would like to give our review for the exceptional service we received from Dan Burnham with…read moreSystem Pavers. They installed a fantastic putting green in our yard a few years ago. We noticed a water leak under the green and contacted the company to see if they would honor their work where apparently a sprinkler head was left uncapped. Dan reached out and sent his team to repair and the putting green looks as good as new and the leak is repaired. After the work was completed Dan reached out to make sure we were happy with the work. System Pavers, represented by Dan is a great and reliable company that stands by their work (even a couple years after installation). I would highly recommend Dan Burnham and System Pavers to anyone looking for a beautiful and challenging putting green or landscaping with an excellent experience. This added a lot of fun to have in our yard for friends and family-time fun.

I received a call back within in a few hours and Sabas made an appointment with me at my convenience. Sabas was on time, curtious, and really listened to what I wanted. I had been wanting to add on to my bedroom and had met with other contractors but the quotes I recevied were way out of my budget. I mentioned to Sabas I wanted to add on to my bedroom and asked him what he thought it would cost. He gave me a verbal estimate and it was so reasonable so I asked him to give me a written estimate for the shower, floors, and the addition. When I received the written estimate it was very detailed of what was included and in the same price range he verbally provided. I made the decision to move forward and he connected me with a archetect/designer to draw my plans for the addition. The process with both the designer and Cruz Construction was seamless and communication was so easy. As I worked with Sabas and his company over time I added the painting of my cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom, replacing the hardware on the cabinets, replacing a window, and re roofing my home. His employees were kind, hardworking, and reliable. They cleaned up after themselves, were quiet, and did superior work. I have worked with many contractors throughout the years. I have build 2 homes and completely remodeled another. This contractor was far by the best! Due to the amount of work I had done this company worked in my house on and off for almost a year. Sabas was always took my calls and responded to any texts or emails the sameday. He was helpful in picking colors and brought samples to me. Any issues that came up he handled immediately. He has a very calm demeaner, is very patient, and really listens. He has direct employees to do all the work and does not use sub contractors which made the projects go so much smoother and timely. Several of his employees are relatives which was nice as they too were kind, patient, and hardworking. The pride all his employees take in their work really showed. I never worried about leaving my home and them being in it without me present. They were trustworthy, clean, and respectful of my property. I am so happy with the work that was done and how my projects turned out! If you are even thinking of needing a contractor don't hesitate to call Cruz Construction you will not be disappointmented. His prices might be a little higher then some but as the saying goes "You get what you pay for."
