Paul and his team from Lakewood contracting has done so much work to our backyard! He has done three major jobs here, which included, adding decorative wall, stairs, pavers, a block wall, and creating stamped surfaces, and also surfaces that are not slippery! He has replaced every single bit of concrete in my backyard and on the sides of my house. He is absolutely amazing and his team is so gracious, and so kind and so easy to work with! His prices are on par with his jobs! His work has standed through the test of rain. Nothing is puddling, pooling or flow into our house. The way he grades it makes it so everything flows away from your house and there's no worry of flooding! It's absolutely amazing! I HIGHLY recommend them!! read more

Got a quote from Paul to clear our side yard and pour a concrete patio (about half the amount of another quote for the same work) on a Friday. He and his crew were here 4 days later on Tuesday, right on time, ready to work. They did a great job!! Start to finish, the job took about 5 hours. It looks great!! We're super happy with how it turned out. Paul even accommodated our gate guy and waited for him to arrive to hash out how our gate would be installed so that it wouldn't mess up the new concrete. We have plans for more concrete in our backyard when we redo it. We will be calling Paul again for sure!! Highly recommend using Lakewood Contracting Co. Super cool, friendly, understanding, willing to work with you, professional, and on time. read more

The roots from my neighbors tree totally broke my driveway and I was on the hook for the repairs. I saw the outstanding reviews for Lakewood Contracting and reached out to them on a Friday. They got back to me immediately, looked at the driveway and gave me a reasonable estimate the same day. Paul and his crew started the demo and repairs first thing Monday morning and finished the same day! The driveway looks great and they were great to work with. read more

I cannot say enough about both, Lakewood Contracting and the owner Paul. I had a very unique driveway job in which I needed a specific slope, a specific change in elevation, and wings (sides) had to have a separate elevation and an immediate bevel to optimize the driveway width. It was a tall order, and Paul never flinched at the challenge. His team pulled this off in two days, covering almost 300 square feet, and achieved the slope and elevations to perfection. The team was polite, professional, and left no trace of their presence, other than a perfect driveway and a very satisfied customer. The objective of this job was to be able to enter the driveway with my motor home and not require any cribbing to keep from bottoming out while transitioning from the contour of the street to the previous slope of the driveway. If anyone has a similar challenge, or simply wants a fantastic contractor, Paul and Lakewood Contracting will not let you down. Lastly, the price was amazingly reasonable considering the high level of craftsmanship. read more

My husband and I are thrilled with our new driveway! Paul Rivera did an excellent job! He started on Wednesday and finished on Friday. Paul worked hard to answer all of our questions and showed us a lot of pictures to see finished jobs. He even went the extra mile when we decided to have the front planter replaced as well!! Paul was hands on doing much of the work himself and was early and present every day of the job. Best of all the job was reasonably priced! Thanks Paul you're the best! read more

This is an overdue review. Paul is one of the best and honest contractors that I have dealt with. Paul and his crew built a beautiful retaining wall around our historic house in Long Beach. Great job and honest guy. Thanks Paul. read more

What can I say that others haven't already? Paul and his crew did an awesome job. I was given a good quote for a new driveway and they were able to start the following week. It was a two day process that was unbelievably fast. I wanted a simple yet noticeable driveway with more space to fit two of my cars. Everything is looks good since I moved in now I need a new lawn to go with my cement driveway. read more

I feel so lucky to have found Paul and his team. I highly recommend them, and would most definitely hire them again if the need ever arises. For this project, our goal was to widen our narrow driveway. He gave me a quote, and was very patient with all my "what would be the price if we also did this" add-ons; Paul even came out a second time to quote for the scenario that had us ripping out the old and starting from scratch. (I think it's notable that this was my idea, not his: He did not pressure us in any way to increase our budget. He seemed content to do whatever job we felt we needed.) Ultimately, I'm glad we decided to do an entire overhaul: It was reasonably priced and the finished product is stunning. (I never thought I'd use that word on concrete, but there it is... no takebacks.) From the concrete support blocks under the rebar, to the control joints that are both functional and beautiful from even a design stand-point, to the stamped concrete pedestrian path, to the clean-up and attention to detail after the job was done, I was grateful and impressed by him and the well-oiled machine that is his skilled team. Hiring a contractor can be a stressful experience, but Paul put me at ease all along the way--always responsive, informative, and reassuring. Unprompted, he even gave me a receipt for my records that proved they poured the concrete with the upgraded psi I requested. (Talk about trustworthy!) Already, I've gotten so many compliments on how nice it all turned out. If you're shopping around for a contractor, you can stop looking: Call Paul. read more

Nothing but good things to say! We had two stretches of 120' walls put in to replace dilapidated fencing. This required coordinating with three neighbors; what might have easily been a nightmare went down without a problem. Paul and his crew did an amazing job and made the whole process easy. Walls were complete in less than two weeks. Pricing was excellent! read more

Working with Paul was fast, easy, at a great price and high quality. Paul was nice enough to visit on a Weekend to provide a quote and when I was ready to move forward, he was able to come the next week and have the project done in just one day! I had a new three level steps and landing poured to a 8' x 16' dimension and it came out just as we wanted. I would use Paul again for sure! read more

My father's property had a leaning back wall due to a city tree. We hired Paul Rivera to rebuild this wall and he did an excellent job. He was accommodating for our particular circumstances and cleaned up after the job was done. read more

So amazed with the work provided by Paul and his team. He made my vision of my driveway come true. Punctual, hard working, and listened to everything i suggested. Paul takes great pride in his work and it shows. Cant say enough good things...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

one call Paul only uses that call to get your job...........After they screw up he refuses to return your calls. Came out promptly, gave me fair quote, did the job the next day, then when I was to hose down the sidewalk I notice it drains EXACTLY WHERE I TOLD HIM NOT TO PUT THE DRAIN. Now when it rains I will have a swamp there. He sent his worker out and I heard the worker that he put the drain towards the grass.............the exact place he was asked not to do.......So now I am stuck with this... He has a tattoo that said He Was Saved By Grace.......so I thought he would be a Christian and do the right thing. I wished that this hadn't happened as I had more work for him to do..........Now I will have to look around for an honorable man and company that backs up their work. read more

Paul and crew created a beautiful new driveway for my home. Paul communicated well and answered all my qluestions. He provided detailed description of the work process and materials used in his written estimate. He suggested some changes to the original design that resulted in a simple but elegant driveway that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Lakewood Contracting for any cement project. read more

Lakewood Contracting - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

I'm writing this review because of the work I had done and the way I was treated by Lakewood Contracting. I couldn't be happier, over a 100 feet of block wall, 3 car driveway that was dyed and stamped. Showed up on time every day, no unnecessary messes, and the owner Paul is on point, there often and very attentive. I am SO glade I chose Lakewood Contracting because I got what I wanted and not jerked around, at a better price than most. Lakewood Contracting is user friendly, reasonably priced, AND NO SURPRISES. Call them read more

We had Paul and his crew pour some concrete at our place and the experience was great. Paul was very responsive by phone, came by for a job walk and was able to get the project started (and completed!) the following Monday. His pricing was fair and, if/when we have more concrete/masonry needs we'll def be calling him again! read more

Today we finished a two day project laying new driveway and formed pavers and steps. Paul's pricing beat two other estimates and his time frame was shorter than the others. Paul's crew were great. They were considerate and hardworking. They worked with my landscaper to configure formed pavers without any hassle. Could not have asked for a better experience. I would recommend their service. read more

I can't say enough great things about this company, Paul and his crew were very professional, curtious and prompt. They arrived when they said they would and their work was amazing. They pretty much were in and out in one day which was very convenient for me. I will definitely be using them for my future projects and will be recommending them to all of my friends and family. Thanks again Paul read more

Paul is the best contractor I've come across so far. Why? Because he's not a flake like all the other contractors I've come across. I had a small concrete job that needed to be done, and after calling at least 5 different businesses and trying to hire a few of them but they "disappeared," I found my way to Paul and he came through. He was very responsive, on-time, completed the job in a timely manner and was very professional. I will definitely be contacting him for future work. read more

Paul & his team did an incredible job. They were very professional & accommodating. We would definitely use Lakewood Contracting again.

Good people to deal with. Paul, the owner, is honest, up-front, and shows up when scheduled. Prices are very competitive usually much less than other quotes I received with no loss of quality or workmanship. His crew is reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Here is where Paul shines: If he makes a mistake, he will fix it. He doesn't give you the runaround. He will put out several options to fix the problem, suggest what's best for you as a customer and then starts the process within days rather than weeks or longer. Although we took some time trying to decide how our project should look, Paul was very patient and flexible. He didn't rush us. He wanted us to be happy and satisfied. I highly recommend Lakewood Contracting. read more
