He skips the heavy paperwork and works on trust instead. As a real estate entrepreneur, that was unusual to me, but it turned out faster and just as reliable since he backs it up. Where other deck builders I spoke to seemed shaky/flaky about my project, John was solution-oriented, brave, and responsive. That confidence is ultimately why I hired him. Abraham Sr and Jr, the builders, are true craftsmen. They work hard, move fast, and were always open to dialogue when something needed improvising on the spot. Hardscaping wasn't part of the project. They're upfront that it's not their focus, so I brought in a separate company for that piece, no issue at all. While this isn't the least expensive deck builder in San Diego, the quality and honesty are there. Where I did blow past my original budget, John flagged it ahead of time, so it was never a surprise. The end result exceeded my expectations, including the cable railing, which looks clean, modern, and beautifully finished. I'll be hiring John and his crew again for my next deck project without a second thought. And I'm 100% sure my neighbors are about to start knocking, asking who did the deck... ;-)

The owner and project manager John came to our house, gave a free estimate, and made excellent suggestions in how to improve our yard. Of the four (very good construction companies) we vetted Second Wind was best. John followed his estimate to the letter with NO surprises or requests for more money. Every transaction was honest and transparent. His construction team led by Abraham were super knowledgeable in all tasks, & even made some needed adjustments on their.

When he didn't show up at the agreed on time, I messaged and later he said he was held up on a job which was far away (didn't bother to let me know he couldn't make our appointment) but he could be here in the afternoon. I said OK, but that's cutting it short because I had to leave in the late afternoon. He didn't bother to ask me my address until he was leaving that job, which I didn't see that text for a half hour. By then it was clear he wasn't going to make it by the time I had to leave, so I said let's make it for another day and asked what day worked for him. No response. I asked the next day if he wanted to reschedule, no response again. Guess you're too busy for me. Fine. I won't use you for this project or any other, nor recommend you to my neighbors, friends or family.

I had hired another guy that did a horrible job attempting to install my new gate but had to stop him as he was damaging the concrete mounted posts and had no experience. But lucky enough Abe the owner of Level Up was referred and his expertize was exactly what my project needed. He concrete mounted my new gate and fence. Abe and his crew made sure it was straight, secure and installed correctly. His skills had him modify some metal brackets to secure the gate and upgraded some bolts and screws to much heavy duty versions for better reliabitly. He was dealing with sloaped concrete which made our project more challenging to make it look level and straight. We could not be happier with the result. I only wish I met him earlier. Abe was fast with response and availabity. He was extremely professional, knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. He cleaned up the site and even took it apon himself to remove all the old fence, trash and boxes from the jobsite. Really going up and above expectations. I would highly recommend Level Up Fabrication and Construction. They are a metal fabrication company but they are much more than that.

They refused to find a solution stating that they were not going to take back wood they couldn't resell. I purchased approximately $3000 worth of hardwood. Initially the customer service was good when they were trying to sell me on the wood. I took their advice in selecting which kind of wood based on the project I described. They delivered the wood with missing pieces. They said they were going to call me to deliver later. About a month went by and they never called so I had to go pick up the wood myself. When it came time for install, my installers noted the wood was severely warped, and the width of the wood was not even. I tried to be flexible and fair but JW Lumber refused to make things right in any way. Attached are some pictures, the fence looks worst in person.
