First of all, let me say it is my absolute pleasure to write this review for Fernando and his team…read more I had 4 or 5 contractors come to bid on my back yard. I had VERY specific ideas for what I wanted in terms of concrete. (The plants were the easy part.) Other contractors told me immediately "I can't do that". Not what I wanted to hear. I am VERY detail oriented and have extremely high standards with whom I choose to work with. We had an absolutely terrible experience with a contractor in a previous home who did a terribly messy job and another who took our money and never completed the work. Not only did Fernando deliver on my vision he did it by completely going above and beyond. He never told me he couldn't do something. He went the extra mile to obtain the stamp I wanted, the colors I wanted, etc. even after running into issues with finding the stamp locally, he found it a little further away to rent. Other contractors told me they would have to buy the stamp and charge me $2K for it. Um, sorry not happening. All of the work was completed on time and he was responsive and focused on good customer service the entire time. Fernando not only was willing to make my vision come true, he was honest with me when we were reviewing options and communicated pluses and minuses to choices clearly so that I could see the big picture. He told me what they were going to do and how the entire way. I recommend InDesign 100% for their honestly, customer service, willingness to make me happy and not try to talk me out of something because if would be easier for them and for excellent communication, being on time and reasonably priced. You will not be disappointed.

I would like to begin by saying that InDesign Concrete is hands down the best company I have hired…read morefor my backyard project. I have dealt with many contractors/companies for my back yard(pool,concrete,pre-cast balusters, etc) so I speak from experience. I was in search of a company to build me a retaining wall and I was recommended InDesign Concrete through a friend. I called the number on their FB page and spoke to Fernando(owner). I set up a meet with him to go over what I had in mind and to find out more about his company. Fernando is awesome! Since day one, COMMUNICATION WAS AWESOME! Finally a contractor that actually answers his phone, texts you back, or calls you back in a timely manner. When we met, I explained to Fernando what my wife and I were looking for and he was able to expand on it and give me ideas to make my project even better. He got back to me in a few days with a 3D image of my back yard with the future retaining wall, planter box, and built in spillway. THE CREWS: Fernando's crews are all very professional, experienced, and respectful!! They do amazing work from beginning to end. On day 1, they laid out boards, tarps and other things to make sure they did not cause damage to my property. One big problem was the access to the work area is limited so they couldn't bring in machinery for excavation. They had to remove A LOT of dirt from the upper deck on a slope down a flight of stair, and to the front drive way all by hand shovels and wheel barrels!! These guys take care of business no matter how tall the task is at hand. Everything was going as scheduled until we hit a speed bump. After the wall had the foundation and had been framed with cinder block and rebar, I came home the day prior to them pouring concrete and I did not like how it looked(my fault). They built it to the T that I requested but once it was framed, I decided that what I had in mind wasn't what I pictured. I contacted Fernando and he was very understanding and cancelled the pour of concrete immediately. I met with him to explain the changes that I wanted to do. His crews made the changes and did not move forward until I was 100% satisfied with the look I wanted. I also added height to the wall very late in the game and again, they took care of business! Customer service: I could tell Fernando prides himself in attention to detail and going the extra mile! His crews always kept the job site clean, always showed up early and at the time that he said they would show up(you definitely don't get that with every contractor), and would ask me about every little detail to make sure that I was good moving forward. It didn't take long to know that my back yard project was in good hands!!! When the project came to an end, Fernando and his crews made sure they left my property as if they were never there. They power washed the whole worksite and they even power washed my front entrance(removed dust from project) and my front driveway to remove a few tire marks. It was the cherry on top that I know other companies simply don't care to provide. In conclusion, the wall was absolutely perfect and even better than what I had imagined, the communication was awesome, price was fair and well worth every penny, and the customer service was phenomenal from beginning to end. I highly recommend InDesign concrete, you won't regret it!!

Get the scope of work in writing Get him to specify his typical working hours and days Careful he is not juggling multiple projects at a time Bad idea to pay him a 50% deposit for a labor only project When he is complete with the project, make sure to look for clumps of sand left on the pavers, sand in drains, sand in door tracks Only pay him after you have carefully inspected his work and are satisfied that he has fulfilled the scope of work If you are having him seal your pavers and do not want a sheen but rather a natural look, do not use the glaze and seal multi purpose, do your research Due diligence is your best hope of a successful outcome Best of luck, hope this helps

My in laws have used Ken for various projects as well in their Livermore home over the years. We used Ken for a 400 sf addition and remodel this time. It was a REALLY big project with lots of processes. He worked with us from the beginning on finding an engineer to draw and submit plans to the city for approval and then the 400 sf addition which extended the whole back side of our home. He was there every step of the way. Our project included adding a new Master bath, kitchen remodel, roof, floors, baseboards, crown, paint ect ect ect. The total project from start to finish was 7 months. I saw A LOT of Ken and his crew, who were always respectable and considerate. If something was not going right Ken would always listen and make it correct. I feel Ken is very fair, patient and honest and does top quality work in a timely matter. The project has now been complete 4 months and we have not had any problems but I know if we did he would be over to fix it! We will definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone we know.

Nick took care of a persistent shower stall leak and kept our family safe while doing it. We noticed the shower leak a few months after moving into our current home, and had spent hundreds of dollars with several contractors tying to fix it, to no avail. Quotes had ranged from a few hundred to over ten thousand dollars, and I was close to giving up. But my über resilient better half wouldn't - she posted a plea on Next Door and our neighbor and fellow Yelper Chris M., bless his heart, recommended Nick to us. Nick was the antithesis of every experience we'd had before - he was punctual, responsive, respectful and systematic, explaining his process in detail with diagrams and photos. To my delight, he even provided written estimates, including contingencies in case he found the unexpected after demolishing the shower - his initial estimate was between one and two thousand dollars for time and materials. The work began while I was traveling on business, and I started getting regular updates from the missus, every one of which increased my confidence in the man and his work. It became blatantly obvious that here was a man who takes pride in his work. Then came the fateful day when Nick found mold under the shower pan - the way he handled this was exemplary. He treated the situation as a true professional, explaining the situation to my panicked wife (I was still away), sealing the room where the work was being done to keep our young family safe, and employing all the tools of his trade to address the situation. He emailed me a revised estimate which I approved without any hesitation, and completed the work (replacing the rotten materials with new ones, using mold resistant drywall, etc. - see pictures) methodically and completely. The final bill was a bit over three thousand dollars, exactly what he said it would be in his revised estimate - and I appreciated that he did not nickel and dime us for all the little things he did along the way as he delivered a perfect job. Moreover, he did not rush us into paying the full amount, allowing us to do so in a couple of installments. Thank you Nick, for helping us with our leaky shower stall, and for keeping our family safe while doing it. It's professionals like you who renew our faith in the world.

I hope to work with him on future projects as well both and home and in my office. The projects in my home went very smoothly. He has done crown molding in most of my home and it all looks great. Very well done and made a huge difference in my house. Love! The largest project he did in my home was my kitchen remodel. He removed a pony wall, re-routed some plumbing and prepped my kitchen for new counters (installed by another contractor). He then came in and finished it all and added a herringbone glass backsplash tile. It looks great and I get so many compliments! I couldn't be happier. The project went smoothly with no issues. The project in my office was a large one that fully renovated a commercial bathroom that had not been touched in maybe 50 years. He fully gutted the room, removed a wall, and replaced everything from the flooring to the windows. He made a custom wainscot to go with the craftsman style of the building. it looks great and I'm not embarrassed to say it is the nicest room in the whole building! Everything went smoothly again which I was nervous about because the building is so old. Pictures of this project have been posted. I'm also very particular in my vision and even changed my mind a few times during the bathroom remodel. Kyle was understanding and accommodating for those changes. He also has great feedback and a good eye for things that myself as a non-contractor would not have known about myself. Hire Kyle for your next remodel project... You won't be sorry!
