Experience. Imagination. Execution…read more These were the 3 key factors that helped my wife and I decide to go with Majestic Pools and Landscapes. In full transparency, based on the online reviews via Yelp and Google, Majestic was not our first choice for a pool and landscape company. However, 3 things came to mind that made us reconsider:1)Why did half the customers on Yelp give them 5 stars and the other half 1 stars over a decade span? Why are there no stars in between? 2) Why did my neighbor choose them? 3) Will they impress us with a design consultation and sales pitch? If you've ever heard the phrase, "Don't judge a book by its cover," you've probably had to think twice about making a decision based on what's on the surface. As far as e-commerce goes or online reviews, Yelp, Amazon, and Google have become our modern day choice-barometers for eating, online shopping and research. Some reviews are fake, some are real, and to be honest, some things require you to discover things for yourself. Long story short, after we toured our neighbors property, we were thoroughly impressed with the attention to detail and craftsmanship that we wanted to work with Courtney right away. Overall, we had a great experience with Majestic. The design they came up with was amazing, and they understood what we wanted based on the ideas we gave them. Courtney took the time to listen to our vision and allowed us to co-design alongside him. I have to admit, I was not the easiest of clients to deal with. As an architecture major, my expectations and design philosophy were demanding, but with grace and professionalism, Courtney went above and beyond to help our vision come to life. And yes, if you're wondering about compliance and code enforcement, Courtney submitted required plans for permits with our city, managed all code issues with officials, and passed inspections on-site. Communication wise, Courtney and his team were solid throughout the project. They were quick to respond to messages, emails, and kept us updated on the progress. The different trades were friendly, professional, and worked hard to get the job done on time. You could tell they had a lot of knowledge about local plants and landscaping, which was a huge plus for us. They helped us choose plants that will thrive long-term and their attention to landscape detail was off the charts. We also appreciated that they were flexible and reasonable when it came to some of the upgrades we wanted. They gave us options without pushing us to make decisions we weren't comfortable with. By the end of the project, we didn't just have a gorgeous backyard & front yard--we also made some great new friends in the process. If you're looking for a licensed company in all areas of pool building, landscape design, and general construction, Majestic is a solid choice! We definitely recommend them!

What can we say about Courtney and his overall professionalism when it came to the design and…read moreinstallation of our pool. Day one, Courtney not only assisted us with our design, but educated and informed us as to pool ownership, the pros and cons, and what we were to expect moving forward. Our permits were filed and returned quickly and our pool was completed way before our due date. And the pool wasn't the only thing. He and his crew assisted us with the installation of our outdoor kitchen, the building of our pergola and our landscaping. Trust me, without his help, finding efficient people that you know will get the job would've been time consuming and costly. We can't thank Majestic enough for making our family home a beautiful oasis! Thank you Courtney! The Quinney Family

He quoted a price and when I contacted him to actually do the repair I was told by him that he could not even do the bid, that I needed to bring in Geotech people to tell him what needed to be done! The only reason I purchased the home was because John assured me the repairs would only be about 10k. Now I am living in the home and wanted to fix the issues Since John falsely represented his qualifications I had to call in someone else and they quoted the repair at over 40k! I will be filing a complaint with the CSLB and the BBB. I purchased a house because he assured me it wasn't going to be a crazy amount to fix the issues. Now I am stuck in a house that I will never be able to sell for a profit because John is a complete LIAR! He was obviously just trying to help make a sale! Well guys it worked you made the sale, but you don't get to lie to someone about your qualifications and get away with it. This is a professional contractor who my realtor brought in to counter what my own independent contractor had stated and because he seemed knowledgeable and I trusted the realtor I didn't do my own research on him and even if I had I wouldn't have known he was full of it till I actually called him for the repair. How could John quote me a price to fix my foundation of just over 10k and then when I call for a formal bid he tells me he isn't qualified to even give me an estimate! Now I am spending every night awake crying and worried my house is going to slide down the hill!

I have already detailed my experiences with SDW, but have since been contacted by others and…read morerealize I emerged relatively unscathed! I assume Sam dismisses my remarks, if asked, but what could account for a five week project taking 13 months, ending Feb. 2024? A few delays were due to weather, but most were because no one was assigned to work here for long stretches of time. I'm writing another review to explain that the frustration and stress experienced during the build persist with issues that arise afterward. Part of my project entailed a new sewer line and ejection pump. Although there were no operational concerns, I saw some worrying signs indicating there might be a problem going forward. I contacted Sam on 1/16. After some delayed and vague responses, he agreed to come on the 23rd at 5. He arrived at 6:40 when it was dark, and checked the sewer by listening and seeing no seepage. He sent his plumber the next day, who did the same. They couldn't figure it out, but I continued to see suspicious activity (muddy surround, liquid on top of the tank, and evidence of spurting water against the adjacent fence), and wrote him again on 2/2. For the next 3 plus weeks he mostly ignored me, but eventually stated the issue was beyond his expertise, he had found a specialist, and asked for my schedule to set an appointment. This happened twice, with no result. I finally gave up, found my own plumber, who removed the lid of the tank (what a concept!), saw the problem, and fixed it on 2/25/2025. Since he had stressed his dedication to servicing his clients and made a show of doing it, I paid the bill, and asked for reimbursement. He liked the outcome, didn't mention the money, and didn't send it, even after a second request. It was a whopping $225! While here, he also said what was needed was to replace the dirt surrounding the pump with drainage rocks, which he'd do. Of course he hasn't, but I'll include that in my attempts to get full resolution through official means. I was lucky. My ADU is occupied and in the almost 6 weeks of inactivity, nothing broke nor were my tenants inconvenienced. But I lost a lot of time in seriously addressing the problem because of his false assurances, gambling with the outcome. He's got the talk part down, when he responds, including what can only be construed sometimes as deliberate lies. But he often doesn't follow through. My experience during the build prepared me for non-compliance, so I've asked him several times for purchase and warranty info for big ticket items. If he won't address problems, I don't have what I need to proceed on my own. He's always said he'd get the documentation right away, but I've never received what I've repeatedly asked for. Sam disrespects his clients. He doesn't care about you once he has a signed contract and money. If no one shows up, or issues with the work arise, and you need to contact him, he typically ignores you, which is a very difficult tactic to deal with successfully. If he does answer, he might say anything to allay your anxieties, even untruths, because he needs to get you off his back. You don't deal with people in the same way so you accept his answers. When you finally realize how long your concerns have been allowed to fester, despite the energy you've expended, it's mind blowing. Once SDW starts the job, it's difficult for you to extricate yourself since other contractors don't want to be saddled with someone else's work and issues. Understand that his actions, mostly inaction, are often contractually illegal, unprofessional, and unacceptable. Be warned!

Out of several fence installers that we contacted, my family and I found Alex's proposal to be the best for our needs. He was very genuine and very responsive. After coming over to our site, Alex provided a very reasonable estimate for the fence length and materials. We particularly wanted a metal fence with a post that could be mounted directly on the retaining block which none but Alex was able to offer. Once I decided to go with UFS, I had to pay a 10% deposit and sign the contract via DocuSign which was a very easy process. Note that like most vendors they pass a credit card surcharge of 3% on to the customer. Michelle who deals with the accounting in UFS was very helpful and professional as well. Michelle helped quickly schedule a time within the next 24 hours and Alex came by with a crew of 2 to work on this. I didn't get the names of the two crew members but they were very friendly and polite. They were also highly efficient and finished the work in several hours. Also when I noticed that they mounted the fence onto an existing wooden post and asked for a change to add an an additional metal post, they quickly made the change the next day at no cost. That was very helpful for us. Thanks Alex! I would highly recommend Alex, the UFS metal working and installation crew and UFS as a company for anyone looking for a high quality metal fence (among other standard wood ones) including any customized designs and gates as well.
