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!

Prior to getting our concrete patio extended, our yard was not level and had lots of tree roots from a camphor tree that was cut down. RB masonry knew how to make it level and removed a lot of tree roots for us. They were professional, on-time, and super patient with any questions I had. Their price was very fair for the amount of labor and material they used. They are licensed Masonries which was a must for us. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing masonry work done. Ivan is also one of the nicest contractors I've ever worked with. We've had a few projects done with our house and RB Masonry continues to be our favorite. We are excited to have them install a privacy wall/retaining wall in the near future. Thank you again RB Masonry!

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!

I was quite impressed with the Yelp reviews of Melo's Pools. I sent a quote request via Yelp and had a response within 10 minutes! Appointment was set for five days later. Albert and Pablo arrived to my home on time. They measured, took pictures and assessed the pool along with the pool pump system. We discussed ideas, timelines, finance options and they left me with a book that contained sample ideas. The following week I met both of them at their showroom to look at the actual tiles and find a match for the pebble. Albert and Pablo were great at making suggestions and giving me space without any pressures of making a decision, signing a contract, etc. A couple weeks later I signed contract and a demo date was set. The crew was on time the first day, and that stayed true until end of project. To no surprise there was a leak detected after opening up the plaster. Mauricio, the project manager, brought it to my attention immediately. He showed me the issue, explained what needed to be done, had a plan ready to go and with my sign off they had the issue fixed expeditiously and the project was kept on track. As a matter of fact, the project was completed a week earlier! Even my neighbors commented how quickly they worked and how great the pool turned out. From Day 1 to the end, the entire crew was respectful. Mauricio kept me updated on the progress of the project. Even after the project, Pablo and Mauricio came back (each separately) to ensure all was good. As I explained to them both, the tile is even more beautiful in the daylight and the colored grout was a perfect match! Worth every penny. Customer service is above and beyond at Melo's. Working with Melo's was effortless. Thanks to Melo's, I love my pool again. Thank you, Albert, Pablo, Mauricio, Art and crew!

I can't recommend Pinedas Masonry enough! As the owner-builder of my ADU project, finding reliable…read moresubcontractors was one of the most important parts of the process, and Victor and his team exceeded every expectation. I originally hired Victor to install pavers in my front patio and backyard. From day one, he was always on time, communicated clearly, and delivered outstanding craftsmanship. His professionalism and attention to detail made the entire experience stress-free. Because of how well that project went, I hired him again to build the foundation for my ADUs and recreation room. Throughout the project, my structural engineer created several unexpected challenges and design revisions that could have easily delayed construction. Instead of seeing them as problems, Victor came up with practical, cost-effective solutions that kept the project moving forward and even helped keep me ahead of schedule. As an owner-builder managing my own ADU project rather than using a general contractor, I really appreciated having someone like Victor who was knowledgeable, proactive, and easy to work with. He didn't just complete the work--he helped me solve problems and navigate the construction process with confidence. His pricing was fair, and the quality of his work was exceptional. The best confirmation came during the inspections. The city inspector was genuinely impressed with the quality of the foundation work and the attention to detail on both the ADUs and the recreation room. That speaks volumes about Victor's craftsmanship and commitment to doing the job right. If you're looking for a masonry contractor who is dependable, communicates exceptionally well, provides solutions instead of excuses, and takes pride in delivering high-quality work, I highly recommend Victor and Pinedas Masonry. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again for future projects.
