Tarantino Masonry did a fantastic job creating a new driveway for us and his quote was lower than…read moreany of the other "big name" companies that we called. The space required some creativity to figure out the best way to make it work and Art did a great job explaining his ideas to us and how much everything would cost. He did such a good job that we asked if he could quote on doing another section of our yard before he finished the driveway. We were able to do both areas for less that what either of the other landscaping/masonry companies quoted us for just the driveway. Art also did a good job managing our expectations on timing and continued to answer questions after the job was done. I would definitely recommend Tarantino Masonry to any homeowner in the San Diego area.

Our main intention was to get our boat off of the street and to utilize our side yard for boat parking and a potential outdoor patio. Shawn and his crew did wonders to create this amazing space. To preface the review, Shawn is a very busy man. So, to be fair, patience on your own job is a must when he's shuffling between sites. They will get the job done and they will do it well! He and his crew are very hard working and polite. They were also receptive to my many questions through the process. After the original estimate, there were no surprise additional costs in the process, which we appreciated! I enjoyed working with Shawn. He is a man of his word and he knows his trade. In fact, we had to put up a fence after the paver process and he promised to come back and finish the pavers and final cap around the fence. His promise of returning, without an additional cost, was met and very much appreciated. Now that we are done, we have so many random neighbors coming up to us and praising the look of the side yard. Pacific Pavers & Walls has delivered a major improvement to our house and the look of our neighborhood. Thank you very much!

He even contacted HOA directly for us because HOA was unresponsive when we contacted them. Things got done as promised, and we are happy with his services. Our driveway is now fixed and crack free. Value also was fair and we had this project done sooner than anticipated, when other vendors either deferred for months out or declined as our project "was too small." Definitely recommend!

A&F Concrete did an excellent job installing a 20' sidewalk and a very nice 5x5 foot masonry wall…read more As instructed, San Diego Buff concrete was used for the sidewalk. I was given an excellent variety of bricks/blocks to choose for the wall, and the one I chose was competently installed. I was pleased to note the block I chose would be sourced from RCP in Chula Vista, where I have been a regular customer. The two workers agreed to relocate the existing pavers for my reuse as part of the original job. I really appreciated that. Although I was in no hurry, the job was completed quite expeditiously with the exception of the iron gate, the installation of which was subcontracted (and reviewed separately). The final results please me immensely. A&F solved a major problem, and I recommend the company to all.

Every member of the crew was hardworking, respectful, dependable, and committed to making sure everything was done right. If you are looking for a company that combines professionalism with creativity and top-tier workmanship, I highly recommend SK Concrete.

They were great to work with and respected our house. What I especially appreciated was the care they took to ensure nothing around the house was damaged.

A JOB WELL DONE We…read morehave a long concrete driveway that curves up a hill to our home. The driveway is 47 years old and was in need of repairs to the driveway and to replace a low curved concrete wall on one side of the driveway, which was badly damaged by time and a large truck. From the Yelp website, I selected 3 five-star contractors for bids to repair the driveway. I'm in my late eighties and handicapped, but in my younger days I worked in construction starting back in 1952 as an apprentice carpenter. I have worked on many projects where I built forms to pour concrete for homes, high rise buildings, and underground tunnels. I have also worked on cementing casing in oil wells as deep as two miles and I have personally poured and finished concrete at my own home. So needless to say, I know a lot about concrete and construction in general. Now that I'm too old and crippled up to work, I'm always apprehensive when I have to hire men to work for me. All too often you get people who lack the skill and experience to do a proper job and often, they don't care how the job turns out. Then they leave behind a mess for the homeowner to clean up. When Oswaldo Minez came to look the job over prior to submitting a bid, I was very impressed with his knowledge and attitude. He told me he was the son of a father and son business and that was my background as well until my father's early death at a young age. The bid from Minez Concrete was the lowest bid and I gave them the contract. A few days later they called to say they had an unscheduled delay in their next job and they could begin work at our home. Oswaldo said they would show up at 7 AM and to my surprise the crew arrived right on time and every day thereafter. Oswaldo's father, Ramon is in charge of the actual work and I could tell right from the start that Ramon is an old school craftsman. He has trained his crew to be competent workers. Too often companies in southern California show up with a boss, who doesn't know what he is doing, and untrained men hired to work by the day. Not the Minez Company, their men are professional workers, who know their craft. On several occasions I have hired people and had to stand there all day making sure the job was done right and sometimes pitching in myself to do the job. After watching the Minez crew for a short time, I knew we were in good hands and I went back into the house. Every time I came out to observe progress there was Ramon supervising his men while working beside them to give us a first-rate job. The repairs all turned out beautifully and several people have commented upon how nice the driveway looks. To be honest, I wasn't expecting the work to go so smoothly and quickly. It was such a surprise and relief to be treated so well with a beautiful result. Oswaldo kept us informed regarding progress and his suggestions and those of Ramon contributed greatly to the final outcome. If you want a first-class experience at a fair price then hire Minez Concrete. They know what they are doing and they do the job right for a fair price. In today's world, that is rare.

We liked the ideas the architect offered but not the cost as quoted by the contractor the architect referred us to. So we decided to contract our own specialists - act as our own general contractor. SD Paverscapes was one of three paver contractors we contacted. Luis was quick to respond and listened to our ideas. He provided us with a plan we loved and a price we could handle. The installation crew was absolutely first rate. It was a pleasure to watch craftsmen apply their skills! The result is fabulous! Honestly, it turned out better than we had imagined! As with ALL contractors, you - as the client - need to always be communicating with Luis. We made slight modifications to our original plan as the work progressed, but they all were fine because we were in constant dialog with Luis.

He was extremely responsive during the entire process, great about adding his input and suggestions as needed, and very patient with us as we went back and forth on all the details.

No regrets going with Luis and will not hesitate to reach out to him when we want to start our next big landscaping project. Also a bonus that his estimate was much more reasonable than other companies we contacted.
