Doug brought over a ton of different paver samples from different manufacturer's and worked with us on ideas for layout/design. We are thrilled with how our driveway turned out. Great price, no change orders, honest. His guys work hard, are friendly and very thorough and precise. We will work with them again when we do some areas of our backyard in a few months!

Marlee was very knowledgeable and helpful in offering design solutions that proved to be quite elegant and very reasonably priced.

The excellent communication in regard to progress was another aspect of our experience that delighted us. This local family deserves your patronage!

I hired Mayan Construction for a landscaping project that involved removing an old patio and then…read moreinstalling pavers. There was also a retaining wall that needed to be removed and replaced. For the first 90% of the job I'd say they did a decent job. The problem was with the finishing details. It's almost as if they finished 98% of the work and then didn't show to complete the rest of it. I asked them to return to my house and was told by Bryan that they would come back, but I never saw them again. I'm talking like a day of work to complete this stuff, if that. They left multiple pieces of rebar sticking out of concrete. I have kids and the last thing I want is for them to get hurt on sharp pieces of rebar. I also don't have the tools to cut the rebar myself. They had a sub come by and replace our aluminum gutters. There was one downspout that connected to an ugly piece of pvc pipe for drainage. I asked them to come back and remove the pvc pipe to make it look cleaner. They said they'd come back, but never did. I asked them to come back and fill in gaps that were left between the pavers, but again nothing was done. There was a sewer clean out that was left protruding above the paver patio too. I don't think I'd hire this company again to do any construction work at my house.

At first I thought the bid seemed high, but once they got started and I saw what was involved -- jackhammering and removing the concrete, delivery of two flats of heavy pavers, delivery of sand for the substrate, cutting of rebar, and all the heavy lifting, I figured it was well worth the price. Jimmy led the installation team, and he and his workers were friendly and courteous. All the pavers were installed in a single day, and the joints were filled with polymeric sand the next morning. We are delighted with the result.

Harley and his team of hard-working men came and made the job look effortless. They were respectful and friendly and did amazing work! We would recommend them for any job!

They hired Challenge to do the job which was accomplished in just over 3 days. They have a team of 9 very hard-working guys. 3 of them had Class A license to drive the two asphalt dump trucks. Everyone was busy most all the time. Their equipment is very good as is the work ethic; the men often working till 7PM of beyond. The quality was also excellent. I heard they charged the owners 45K, which to me was a bargain. Some of the mobile homeowners paid extra for extra pavement. I was happy to offer and pay $500 for expanded width and length driveway. I imagine my home value went up at least 10K due to the improvements. Thanks to foreman Joel and his team.

With prompt texting, Ilya came to the property on time to provide options and rough pricing for each. Through his reputation and communication, it was clear that Ilya is a masonry master and did his best to answer all the client's questions and concerns. Although the client will unfortunately be going in a different direction, I plan on calling upon him again for any masonry issues/inspections/estimates I that are needed by my other clients. Masonry in Santa Barbara is an elegant craft and a niche specialty. It is best to call upon a true professional to have masonry repairs done right.
