Having dealt with this contractor for about 15 years as his vendor for payrolling and workers compensation coverage coverage. I have never used his services personally however I have watched his crew and watched his company grow over the years. As my personal life has changed I have prospered and grown personally and professionally my company grew so I decided to expand my home and add a pool. I consulted several companies and decided on Ventura Pool and Spa to add my pool to my home. HUGE mistake. However the blessing in this mistake was choose Mike Lopez Concrete to finish the decking and the concrete. He fixed all the errors the pool contractor made in regards to the elevations, drains and or there lack of drains, planning, steps, lighting, slopes etc. He made peace with inspectors; he insured everything went smoothly, he was there every day as promised. He was always here on time. His team was clean, his guys were professional, honest, they communicated with me, made suggestions that made sense, talked to me like a human, spoke to me as a home owner, used language I could understand. I can't say enough about this outfit! I am so happy I made this choice. I believe his pricing was fair. His material was better then all the other bids I received and at a better price. He used all metal drains verses plastic, he added well over 10 drains verses the 1 drain the pool contractor suggested. The pool contractor quoted plastic drains he used metal. His crew has been with him well over 20 years! My mistake in choosing a pool contractor turned into a blessing by choosing a professional concrete contractor who handled and put the pool contractor in line. He had to help the poo contractor with his gas lines. I just hope at the end of this project I end up with water in the pool! I know I will have an amazing deck and back living area! Thank you Mike for all your guidance and assistance read more
