Distinctive Exteriors completely exceeded our expectations!! Working with the owner Edgar on the landscape design for both the front and backyard was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Edgar was incredibly hands on throughout the entire process and truly cared about every detail of the project. I want to mention his crew are the exact same way, polite, neat and a pleasure they make sure everything is done perfectly! From the initial design phase to the final touches Edgar was present involved and fully committed to making sure everything came together beautifully. That being said we could not be more thrilled with our final result. Our yard feels like a true outdoor oasis, and we are so grateful for Edgar's talent and dedication. we would highly recommend Distinctive Exteriors to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and highly detail-oriented landscape designer! read more

I have owned a half dozen pools over the years, including one of the largest lazy rivers in Clark County. So, when it came to replastering an existing 'model home' pool albeit a modest pool (originally built by Nevada Pools) that was deteriorating, I called Distinctive. All in all, I figured it to be a straight forward job as the footprint would be staying the same. Owner Edgar Herrera impressed me as knowledgeable and well equipped. Upon his recommendation, I also decided to replace the waterline tile. I was so confident in him that I did not feel the need to even stay in town to oversee the process. For this job, I selected a quartz product (new to me) in Cappuccino, and I was excited for the change to come. Throughout the process, however, I felt as though my job was just too small and not a priority. In fact, I know that Distinctive was performing a large scale new build near me as more than once, I was told that a rep would swing by after visiting the other site. Had my son not been home when my pool was initially filled (we did this twice), it would have overflowed into the backyard. While Edgar did respond to my concerns, I feel that had he and his team been more proactive I would not have needed to shoot off trouble calls after hours. My main concern involved the quartz material as rendered (which I was viewing as cell phone photos from my son). While Edgar did initially tell me that the pool needed to be 'swept' after being filled with water, I interpreted that to mean the pool needed to be cleaned to establish the correct water quality and PH. It had not occurred to me that the plastering process was not yet completed?! I have never had a pool contractor hand off a job that was not actually done and ready for swimmers. Further, Edgar knew that I had not yet hired a new pool tech. Long story short, I have a distinctive pool all right (see photos). I refuse to believe that the resulting mottling, uneven distribution of quartz and staining in the body of the pool are my fault. To his credit, Edgar did have his plaster sub, Rainbow Pool Plastering, return to perform an acid wash on the pool, but it really is no better and certainly does not reflect the nearly $30K spent on it. I am still waiting on the pool accessory kit $500. The only reason this is not a 1-Star Review is because Edgar is a nice guy and I do not believe this was his desired outcome either. To anyone considering a quartz product, I highly suggest you do your homework first. The web is full of similar stories to my own. ~ Tammy read more

We used Distinctive Exteriors for our landscaping. They were fantastic. First off, Edgar is amazing. Personable, knowledgeable and very nice to work with and very skilled with landscape design. The workers were incredible also. We get a bit picky when we have landscaping projects and we asked for several changes. Also as anyone knows, bigger projects always have some issues. Ours were small, but they listened and resolved every one of them. I have yet to have a project not have a few small issues. They were responsive and awesome to immediately address any concerns. Our landscaping looks amazing. I cannot recommend Distinctive Exteriors enough. read more

We hired Distinctive Exteriors to build our pool and complete the landscaping for our new construction home and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Before meeting Edgar, we obtained three quotes from well-known and reputable pool companies in Las Vegas. Edgars' design matched exactly what we were looking for and, in our opinion, looked significantly better that the other proposals we received. Our meetings with Edgar were always productive. He listened carefully to what we wanted and was responsive throughout the planing process. His pricing was also significantly more competitive that the other quotes we received for similar design and scope of work. Once construction began, the process went smoothly. In several areas, Edgar and his team exceeded our expectations. The pool equipment installed was top of the line Pentair and the service after installation has been exceptional. For the first month after start up, someone came regularly to help with the pool set up and to make sure everything was operating properly. We also have direct communication with Ron who is extremely knowledgeable about pools and Pentair systems. If we send him a text with a question, he responds almost immediately. We have never experienced this level of post-installation support with a pool project before. The subcontractors who built the patio and insalled the porcelain pavers did a phenominal job. Comunication between Edgar, the supervisors, and the crews was excellent throughout the project. Calls and texts were returned promptly, and any concerns we raised were addressed quickly. As with any construction project, there are always small items that need adjustment. What impressed us most is that Edgar and his supervisors addressed these changes immediately once they were brought to their attention. One of Edgars previous clients told us this before we hired him- and it proved to be absolutely true. During construction we also made several changes to the landscaping plan, including requesting more mature trees and palms. Edgar was very accommodating, and the final landscaping turned out even better than we originally envisioned. Our backyard truly went from pure dirt to a beautiful desert tropical retreat. Overall, the design, craftsmanship, communication and service from Distinctive Exteriors was excellent. Based on our experience, we would highly recommend Edgar and his team. read more

We hired Distinctive Exteriors to do our landscape conversion. We got his name from the approved water smart contractors list on the SNWA website. We are very happy with Edgar Herrera and his team. We interviewed four other vendors and felt Edgar had by far the most professional plan and presentation. Edgar worked with us to get it within our budget but not sacrifice the design. We were very impressed with the hard work and work ethic of the team assigned to our home. Edgar did everything he said he would do, when he said he would do it. There were no surprises and no hidden fees. Having worked with a lot of vendors over the years, this is very rare. We are extremely happy with the end result, a beautiful yard. JC & Peggy read more

Edgar and his crew performed outstanding hardscape and landscape work for me. The project was large and involved the removal of decorative rocks, excavating, grading and compacting soil in preparation for creating walkways, patio and courtyard both comprised of pavers, turf, ground drains, plants, palm trees, night lights, pony wall, and new steps made of pavers. When the project was completed, I addressed a few minor adjustments I wanted the crew to do. In every occasion, Edgar had these adjustments completed. Since the completion of the work, I routinely receive many compliments from neighbors and visitors attracted to my patio and courtyard. All the credit belongs to Distinctive Exteriors. Last, Edgar is an expert in meeting and complying with HOA rules. He will take the lead in working with the HOA to get your plan quickly approved. I highly recommend him for landscaping and hardscaping projects. read more

Best of the Best!!!!!! Quality work and best of all, your dream designs will be a reality, Edgar the owner is good to work with, I will be using his company for any future landscaping projects. read more

We had a rather large backyard/front yard project as we had a pool that we wanted to eliminate. We added a spa, firepit, and BBQ station with all the hardscape and landscaping to make it an absolutely beautiful backyard. Edgar, the owner, was wonderful! He was courteous, prompt and went above and beyond for any requests we had. We highly recommend Edgar and Distinctive Exteriors for any of your projects!! We are thrilled with the outcome. read more

They have completed two backyards for me. One was 5 years ago and I recently had them complete another one when we moved. Both have come out beautiful. They are very detailed and responsive to any questions or concerns you have. I trust their work and am excited to enjoy the backyard for years to come! read more

We started our bidding process back in March and met with Phil. We had received a few other bids and decided to go with Distinctive Exteriors because we felt their pricing was the most fair (not necessarily the cheapest). Over the next few weeks, we had gone back and forth with Phil and Edgar to design our new backyard, which was a complete remodel. We then met in April to finalize material options (which we felt were high quality) and have them complete and submit our HOA paperwork. We received HOA approval in mid-May and they were not able to start until mid-July because of delays caused by weather and COVID in previous months; however, we were assured that the wait would be worth it. Construction took about a month. We dealt with Kevin and Roberto throughout construction. Kevin was more than accommodating on several occasions and we cannot compliment Roberto and his crew enough. The attention to detail was fantastic and overall customer satisfaction was paramount. We've also been assured that should any issues arise (even outside of the stated warranty), they would stand by their work. The wait WAS worth it and even though our design wasn't the most complex (pavers, artificial turf, water feature/fountain), it is beautifully done and we love spending time in our new backyard. We will definitely recommend this company to anyone looking! read more

Phil (owner) came out, for a pool, tile and pavers in our backyard. Spent little time, and said he was leaving town and hoped to get back to use before leaving. (2 weeks away). Gave us a lump sum quote w/ No breakdown, as we had requested. Over twice as high as others. I asked for break down again, which he now declined our project altogether. (see below) People; There are better and more responsible contractors out there, this man appeared lazy and upset we didn't take his twice as high bid, that appeared to have no effort whatsoever put into it. Look Around. I would give zero if possible.... What a waste of time. Hi Scott I own the company. I do not have someone else. I'm sorry but have decided it is best that I don't continue the bidding process for your house. Thanks Phil Have a great day!

We had interviewed 4 companies and was referred to DE from my pool guy. From the start Phil was not like the other company reps. He was helpful full of knowledge and most importantly for my wife and I he was patient and willing to help us through the whole process. We were remodeling a pool and not just a new build in a Vegas dirt yard so we were expecting lots of extra stress and problems. When the crew first started we were put right at ease. The crew was professional clean and more importantly were there when they said they would be. There are a lot of pool builders out there but if you want professionalism, reliability, a schedule that is real and not based on what the pool co feels like doing that week; then Phil and distinctive exteriors is your choice. Try dealing with couple others first and then give Phil a try. Compare the bullshit from the other companies to Phil's honesty and you will not be disappointed. Remember in Vegas you get what you pay for. Side note. A friend of mine started a new pool build out at the same time I started my rebuild. He chose another contractor (Laguna) who started doing the raiders presidents pool. Mine has been completed for two months and his is still on hold. He has a hole in the ground and I am swimming. You get what you pay for guys! read more

Great on sales pitch but absolutely awful on Communications, delivery and others. I didn't use them after all the comments i've seen. The company should be named Expensive Exteriors. read more

Kevin represented the company. He listened to our requests, designed exactly what we wanted. He and his crew were always there as promised. They subcontracted laying the porcelain pavers and the sub did a great job. We wanted a few things changed during construction, no problem, it just got done. Extremely happy with the final result. They made the whole process very easy for us. read more

Don't walk away from Phil at Distinctive Exteriors, RUN! Poor work quality and always some whiny excuse as to why things were not done correctly (per the contract). read more

Distinctive Exteriors by far met our expectations and more with our landscape. I had a vision and they were able to draw up a plan and execute. The landscape crew was very efficient, on time and tidy after each day. I would highly recommend them! Thanks Phil! read more

What an amazing experience we had with DE. From initial call which Phil was the only contractor I looked up who responded. I contacted Phil in January and they were slammed as are most landscape designers that time of year. However we made the appointment and got written free estimates within a few days. We agreed upon a date to start. They actually were able to accommodate us earlier than expected. They also finished on time. Phil came by for a final inspection. It was a truly great experience. Thanks to these guys, we now have the model landscaped yard on the block. read more

Was taking bids for a pool and landscaping job. Called Phil for an estimate. He hardly spent any time measuring the backyard. Had his admin get my email and a few days later, emailed me to say he wasn't interested in the job with no explanation. This leads me to assume that he's afraid to compete against his competitors or he didn't need the business or money. This is in response to Phil's comments... I find it funny that you decided to reply only AFTER my negative review. Also, we never discussed a time frame as it is the middle of December and I wouldn't be able to enjoy the pool anytime soon. As far as a budget, we hardly discussed it. You asked how much I wanted to spend and I gave you a number. It wasn't what I was willing to spend. It's called negotiating. You of all people should understand how that works. read more

My backyard is the best in the neighborhood! I interviewed five landscaping companies before I found Phil. I knew from the moment I met him that he was the right choice. The pricing was fair, Phil was honest with me and the design by Edgar was an A+! What I appreciated most was that ability to easily make changes throughout the process. When it came time to do the work, the workers were courteous and exceeded my expectations in their attention to detail. These guys didn't miss a thing! I feel truly blessed that I found a landscape company that delivered such value for the money and I plan on using them again (and recommending them to all my friends). If you want your neighbors to be jealous, call Distinctive Exteriors. I'm so happy I did. read more

I had a complete backyard renovation that took over 3 weeks and 8 guys only to find out that they did not put anything underneath the rocks to prevent weeds and now my backyard is infested with weeds. I spent over $25,000 to get shoddy workmanship. Every landscaper I have hired to remove the weeds said that Distinctive Exteriors should have put something between the dirt and the rocks to prevent all of the weeds but they didn't. Buyer beware! This is impossible to fix permanently. read more

After interviewing various different landscape contractors, Distinctive Exteriors proved to be the best qualified out of all the contractors we interviewed. Their design abilities, overall knowledge and professionalism were hands down the best we have seen. Through the entire construction phase they proved that they do deliver a distinctive difference. And overall they provided us with very high value for our dollar. Great job by a great company. read more

After talking to a few other landscaping companies, we chose Distinctive Exteriors because of their great reviews and the very fair price we were given. The transformation in our yard was extraordinary, and brings us happiness every time we're out there! We had plants, trees, grass, a patio, and hardscaping put in. All the work was done professionally, and they even accommodated our need to have access to the plant sites before the plants were put in. We couldn't be happier, and are happy to recommend them to anyone needing any landscaping project! read more

Distinctive Exteriors did an incredible job with our landscaping! We choose their service after receiving quotes from a few companies. We were new to the landscaping world and we felt that Edgar really listened to us in the design process. We made a number of changes throughout the process and they were responsive to each of the changes. Gerrardo and his crew were extremely professional and very hard working! Our front yard, courtyard and backyard look amazing thanks to Distinctive Exteriors! read more

I typically read reviews, but rarely write them. I feel the need to spread the good word due to the overwhelmingly strong service. It all started with Phil taking the time to create and present a detailed computer model of our backyard. Once we agreed on the design, his crews led by Kevin and Gerardo did a fantastic job. They followed up when they said they would ,and never let me down. The crews worked clean, and completed exactly as promised. Thanks again Distinctive Exteriors - HIGHLY recommended! read more

I am so happy with the landscaping Distinctive Exteriors did at our home. Our backyard is an outdoor paradise. We added an outdoor kitchen, which we absolutely love and use frequently. Our landscaping is lush and beautiful. They did an amazing job and exceeded my expectations. read more

A word of praise for the amazing landscape plan executed by Distinctive Exteriors. Our front, back and courtyards were barren and simply awful until Distinctive Exteriors came on the scene. My backyard, (looked like a prison yard),has been transformed into a charming intimate garden filled with large trees, shrubs, and flowering bushes. The night lighting turns it into an enchanted garden. I highly recommend this timely, reasonably priced landscape service. read more

Some dead items replaced as promised. New work request denied after yelp post. Will need to finish with another contractor. Phil and employees nice. read more

I cannot speakvto their actual lanscape service as my experience never got that far. Although the few staff that I did talk to were curtious I did not feel they were completely up front and honest. The owner came out to myhouse to giving me an estimate. Keep in mind my backyard is TINY, I thought the quote I was given was a bit high. When I expressed this concern the owner basically told me to pound sand and have another company do the job. Personally I dont see how that is professional in the least. I was told that they have a price minimum and my yard would not reach that. If you know you have this policy why not tell me upfront instead of wasting my time? Apparently Distinctive Exteriors is too good for small jobs. read more

I have enjoyed working with Distinctive Exteriors not only with his landscaping but also with his custom pools. He has done a fantastic job for me including his entire staff. They have a great design team and do a great job of getting our dreams into the backyard. read more
