We went to A.G. Natural Stone in March after a previous stone company completely miscut our…read morecountertop and it had to be removed again. When we went to measure our new countertop, the owner, Adalberto, provided an excellent viewing opportunity and was very informative and flexible. The shaping of the stone at his warehouse was done fine and to our specifications. But the installation a couple weeks later was mediocre - there are relatively obvious seams where the counter pieces were mitered together. A previous counter was installed much better in that respect. Our BIG problem with A.G. Natural Stone, however, was that the counter was not sealed and Adalberto explicitly told us it was (twice). It soaked up grease like a sponge until we sealed it ourselves a month later, by which time we were quite distraught about our new kitchen. Imagine how you would feel after spending 10s of thousands of dollars on a new kitchen and being afraid to use it. Whole sections of the counter were on their way to being ruined within a couple weeks even though we could see no visible grease or other contaminant. Either he never sealed it or his sealant was so poor that it was more a grease sponge than a grease protector. When I called and asked about it, Adalberto reiterated that he sealed it and claimed that it was the nature of stone, even sealed, to soak up grease. THAT fast!? If grease spots appeared as fast as ours, stone countertops would unusable and they would be in virtually no kitchens in this country. So, to be blunt, he did not seal it. His casual response to our concern (which we stupidly believed) left us afraid to use our new kitchen! The last straw was when a used baggy (with no obvious oil on it or in it) was left on the counter for a mere 15 hours (from dinner until the next morning) and created a stain 6 inches across by the time I noticed it the next morning. So we decided another layer of sealant would at least help. But when we sealed it ourselves, just once, the grease stains stopped!! They did not simply happen less; they STOPPED. He or his crew never sealed the counter and then failed to double check the error when I reported a problem to him on the phone. If he had told us up front that his company did not seal stone and it was entirely the customer's responsibility, we would have been warned and things would have been very different and I would not be writing this negative review.

This involved pouring over 1,500 sq. ft. of concrete, a large retaining wall, a patio deck, a new lawn, and a playground area. Here were some of the highlights of my experience: - Design Guidance: I relied heavily on Baltazar's experience and keen sense of design. His elegant hardscaping solution for the pool transition zones exceeded my expectations and tied the yard together perfectly. - The grading and drainage were very well done. Despite heavy rains, there was zero pooling; the rain gutters were routed directly into pipes beneath the concrete for a clean, streamlined look. - Smart Home Integration: All landscape lighting and irrigation were hooked up to smart-home enabled controllers for total automation and convenience. - The office staff was very responsive, addressing any concerns or follow-up questions usually within a single business day. Props to Gladys and Dahlia! Highly recommended!

It was over 3500 sq ft of lawn and irrigation, as well as concrete fixes around other parts of our property and pool tile repair. I chose them because they had the best strategy to combat the problem, even though they weren't the cheapest quote we received. I wanted the fix to last long term, not just hold me over for a year or two before another gopher invasion destroys our yard. Everything was extremely professional and delivered to contract specifications. We were extremely happy with the results. They had to move a portion of our fence to get the big equipment in but you wouldn't even know it had been moved because they were total pros putting things back. When we asked for additional scope of work (a French drain), they were quick to get back to me with a quote and incorporating the additional work didn't push out the timeline. All in all, highly recommend and we'll definitely use them again for our landscaping needs.

What my husband and I really loved about Anthony was the absolute efficiency, e.g. we'd show him a tile and immediately he'd tell us whether it would work for that application or not. He just knew that information off the top off his head, and didn't make shit up, as we'd encountered in other shops. We're going to end up doing a custom job of ombre with an online software tool from Oceanside. Anthony turned us onto Sicis as well, but there's no online tool I could decipher, so bummer. The prices are on par with other places of this ilk, and parking is easy especially because it's not located in the middle of a city, and street parking we got immediately.

There were a few other lumber yards I could have chosen from, but none of them matched the quality of materials or the level of customer service I found here. What always stood out to me was how the business was run--there was pride in the work, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to customers. Over time, I watched other yards come and go, but OK Lumber remained. Even after the original owner retired, it's great to see the family carry on that same standard of excellence. The difference in quality is obvious. While other places might offer lower-grade materials, OK Lumber consistently provides top-tier wood. Yes, you might pay a little more, but you truly get what you pay for--quality, reliability, and service you can trust. What really makes the experience special, though, is the people. It's not just a transaction--they take the time to get to know you and your business. After a while, they're greeting you by your first name, and that kind of relationship is rare these days. If you're looking for more than just a place to buy materials--if you want quality products and a team that genuinely values your business--this is the place to go. I highly recommend. Joe
