I hired Chris from the good reviews off yelp 6 months ago to do my backyard project and paid over…read morehis initial quote because of his miscalculations after he started the project. I still paid at the cost of $15,050 for him to complete the project. I specifically wanted a low maintenance yard since I am not physically able to take care of gardening. The initial project came out very good but 6 months went by then the poor quality material used on the weed barrier began to show. It's like there is nothing underneath the stone area & weeds were coming out everywhere. (see pictures) I contacted Chris about this issue & got nothing but silence until weeks later I messaged him that I will take the next step before he responded. All he did was gave me excuses & nasty insults but will not take responsibility to correct the problem. I have other landscaping work done in the past & never encountered out of control weeds issue before. Now I will have to pay another company to redo all the stone areas. All I can say is good luck with hiring this guy if you need any follow up care after the job is done.

I used Yelp for my most recent project. Received responses from many contractors one of which was…read moreApex Concrete. Chris came by, reviewed the site and gave me a price. His pricing was extremely competitive and I ultimately decided to hire his company. Throughout the project he was in constant communication updating me daily and whenever he needed to ask any questions he would reach out. All of which I very much appreciated. I don't like when contractors assume what I want. The end result looks incredible I am extremely happy with how the retaining wall came out. Now I can at least make this bottom section of my slope look nice. I will definitely hire Apex Concrete again in the future when needed. I highly recommend giving him a try.

BEWARE: One of the things you're supposed to look out for in reviews is all 1 star and 5 star…read morereviews. Check out the consistency of the 1 star reviews. That's who this guy is. I don't know who was showing up twice a day and checking the work... there's no way that's the same person I dealt with! Masoud is soo dishonest. The kind of person who will lie to your face and say "I didn't send that text". When you're standing there showing him the text in your thread with him. I never can understand how people can lie to your face when they know you know they are lying, and think it somehow absolves them. He did it CONSTANTLY. Luckily I'm handy because I've had to fix or redo a majority of the 30k worth of work that I hired him to do. I have had to redo everything that Masoud did except for the concrete (I did have to fix holes they made in the house while doing the concrete though). Floor, fence, gate, yard leveling, lights, plumbing, tiling, holes they made in the walls and ceiling. They are super rushed and don't care about the quality at all. They cut every corner, and there's no QC unless you do it yourself. He has zero organization. He never schedules anything until the last minute. He was always texting me at night telling me to open the house for workers the next morning, even though I gave them a key. He was at the house (briefly) the day his workers took out all the windows to put in new ones. He told them in front of me that it was going to rain the next day. That night when it starts raining I get a text from neighbor saying no windows are installed anywhere and none of the holes are covered. I call Masoud. He says "my guys live pretty far, do you think you could drive down there (45 mins in traffic) and cover them yourself"? I ended up having to withhold money at the end to pay another contractor (who's fantastic for about 10% more) to fix even more work because I got tired of fixing it all myself. Stay away from this shady dude. ETA: They did a pretty good job on the concrete they poured for me. If you're adding concrete, and you don't have a schedule, and you're handy enough to fix anything they break... they are probably ok, and very inexpensive.

We usually do most of our own home repairs, gardening, and DIY projects. One thing we could not do…read moreourselves was replace our circa 1917 old cracked 82 feet long driveway and widen our 7' driveway approach (with a steep angle of approach designed for a model-T) to a new 12' wide City standard driveway approach with less than 8 degrees angle of approach. We would need a licensed contractor who could work within the City of Alhambra's public-right-of-way. We started calling for quotes in early April of 2014 and A.F.R. Masonry, Alex Diaz, gave us our second lowest bid out of 6 bids. Alex was the only contractor who said he would honor his bid longer than 60 days. The City of Alhambra would definitely need more than 60 days to complete the relocation of a water meter that was in the way of a new driveway approach. I liked the fact that Alex said he had his own digger (to break and haul concrete) and he was based locally in El Monte. His bid price was a definite draw (one of our highest bids from another general contractor was more than triple the amount of Alex's). So after the water meter was relocated we called Alex and he said he was available to do our job within two weeks and could complete the job in approximately 6 working days. The job is just finishing up today and I just had to write up this review. I have been waiting a long time to be able to drive into my driveway without hitting my tires on the curb face. The new no frills driveway is so much more pleasant to look at then our old cracked and patched driveway. The only thing that other homeowners might have an issue with would be that during the construction, the job-site (my yard) was left with construction materials overnight. But I am definitely fine with dealing with unsightly construction materials overnight during construction for Alex's bid price. It all gets cleaned-up in the end. The work was done on time and on budget! Alex did not complain about having to deal with the large magnolia tree roots adjacent to the driveway approach. He listened to our concerns and made sure they were addressed. The craftsmanship of the concrete work with proper forms, slopes, and finish was definitely on point. I am very happy with the job well done.

At first we tried to do it ourselves by finding family recommended architect to draw prints for us for submission and whatever else the city wants. Then we tried to find contracts and they either stuck up their noses at us or didn't even bother showing up at the appointment. Finding a trustworthy contractor is hard. So I looked up Yelp and found Mr. Parrague and initially contacted one of the reviewer, Henry, because he offered to shed more light on his experience. He was so kind and highly recommened Parrague Construction. And I'm living in another country and my Mom's English isn't fluent enough to handle this kind of matter. So I called Mr. Parrague and he made me feel safe. He is a one stop shop because I wasn't sure if the city was going to ask to redo the blueprints or not. He was very professional, on-time, and does not push for extra things just to make more money, in fact it's the opposite. He is tough, which you need to be when dealing with the city, and very experienced. He will go out of his way to help you. His crew is clean and his assistant is also kind and very communicative, but Mr. Parrague usually is your main point of contact. He likes to handle the calls himself. Once my mom called around 5pm saying they installed the garage door wrong (they did not) and I thought she got locked out of the house. I had to call Mr. Parrague from outside the country (Skype) and he said he will go straight to my house after his meeting which was an hour away from my house bc they had my spare key. I told my mom and realized she wasn't locked out. So whether it was installed correctly or not, it was NOT an emergency. I quickly messaged Mr. Parrague because it can be dealt the next day. I didn't want him to get in an accident trekking across LA. He understood and STILL showed up! This is now probably 7pm. They figured out that it was my Mom who didn't understand how the new garage door worked....So I am so thankful for them for their work and for dealing with the City and get me approved and case closed. I am a fan. XD

I wanted a typical construction driveway removed and replaced; 6 x 6 inch wire mesh, crushed gravel base compacted, more joints than usual, etc. Alex was responsive and left the jobsite a little bit cleaner than when they arrived. From the beginning they were on time and 'as promised'. He provided a bid/contract ON PAPER and has a very useable website which can be accessed from a qr-code on the extra large glossy business card. For grins I went on the CSLB website to look up his contractor's license number. The listing for Alex was squeaky clean with everything in order! He takes charge cards as well. Couldn't be happier with the job they did and the way they did it. From initial contact to the last vehicle left the property, care was taken with the movement of construction equipment and wash out after the pour was complete. I will definitely have these guys back to do more of my concrete work in the future.
