He was honest and thorough, and made a point to show me how I could save on materials, and how he could work with some things I already had on hand. He gave me an incredibly fair proposal with an expedited timeline. Due to some construction issues, I am currently unable to move forward with the project, but he was gracious and kind despite the circumstances. I will absolutely be reaching out to him in the future to get some work done. Thanks Manuel!

His right hand man Hector is no less than an artist and Ricky was friendly, helpful, and productive. They left an immaculate worksite and also saved a trumpet vine by folding it back instead of cutting it, which I had given them permission to do. Wow. I won't go through the technical details, as a review below me has done a splendid job. What I will say is that the one and two star reviews below are obviously personality issues and have nothing to do with the quality of this high performing contractor. Please ignore them: they are silly. Paul also recommended an outstanding roofer and subsequently a plasterer, both superb. All five star all the time. I can't say enough. Paul saved us so much time and so many hassles, because here we are, new to San Diego, trying to fix up a house that was left in way worse shape than we were led to believe (Who takes advantage of Covid 19? I know! Carla Coshaw, realtor). He is, simply put, our hero.

There are truly not enough words to describe the great experience we had with San Diego Headstones…read more After a very frustrating experience with Greenwood Memorial Park & Mortuary, who took six months and ultimately produced a disappointing result with my sister's headstone, we decided to look elsewhere for help. That's when we connected with Manny at San Diego Headstones. In just one month, Manny and his team were able to complete my sister's headstone beautifully. I had created a very detailed and somewhat complex design for my sister's memorial, but Manny never dismissed my ideas. Instead, he took the time to communicate with me throughout the process, explaining what could and could not be done while still working hard to get as close as possible to the vision we had for honoring my sister. What truly sets this company apart is Manny's empathy and genuine care for families who have lost loved ones. After experiencing a lack of compassion and professionalism with Greenwood Memorial Park, it meant so much to work with a company that respects families' wishes and strives to make the process as smooth and meaningful as possible. On top of the outstanding service, their pricing is very reasonable and affordable. Manny even offered us a discount because of the complications we had previously experienced with Greenwood Memorial Park, which was incredibly thoughtful and appreciated. I highly recommend San Diego Headstones to anyone looking for a company that provides a quick turnaround, affordable pricing, and truly professional and compassionate service.

I discovered David Donald Masonry by accident. David is a friend of my neighbors. The back of his…read moretruck displayed a placard indicating he did masonry. So I walked up to him and my neighbors and asked him if he did masonry walls with gates. He hopped the short fence and offered me a quick estimate after I described what I was looking for. His estimate was better than I had received from other people so I decided to pursue it with him. I replaced a 26 year old redwood wall/gate with masonry similar to the common walls in my neighborhood. It was easy to show him examples next to my home. He works with another company for the gate (Miranda Ironworks). My pics don't show the gate since it hasn't been made yet. I liked his quote and decided to go forward. Three people showed up on the agreed start date - David, his dad and his uncle. Quite a family affair. I was impressed with how hard his dad and uncle worked in the heat (it was in the 90s the days they were working on my job). His dad has been doing this kind of work for over 40 years. They were meticulous. I monitored their progress regularly. It was fun to watch my crappy fence come down and the new one come alive. I will attach a few pics of the final work. I will also attach a timelapse I took while they did most of the block wall work. It's 52 seconds and shows how they work (after setting the footing the day prior). I also had them do a raised planter along my neighbor's wall (yes - my neighbor blessed this work before we started!) I'm very pleased with all the work. David's company was professional the entire time. It was a multi-day effort. They arrived when they said and didn't miss a planned day. This may sound small, but have you ever worked with a contractor that said they would be there to work and never showed or contacted to you let you know? I have! I can honestly say that David's company was a pleasure to work with, and he nailed his quote pricing with top notch quality. I WOULD consider them in the future for additional work. Thanks guys!
