We had one area that we knew needed repair as it was near our foundation, and a few others we were concerned about. We were late in addressing this; the weather for resealing not being optimal, yet we were concerned about letting it go until after the winter rains. We got two bids, from Black Stone and another highly recommended contractor. What set Luis apart - he worked with us to get the essential repair work done before the rains; delaying the full resealing until later, when the weather was better to do so. ensuring a better result.

Our job had been lagging and they stepped into a somewhat complicated situation but, without even breaking stride, they helped us turn things around and we are very grateful. Rick was excellent in thinking of solutions for better drainage for rainwater and Dan is an excellent project manager. The quality is high, the project management was strong and communication with them was easy. I felt we were on the same page from beginning to end and would work with them again without a second thought. In short, Unique Pavers is a solution-oriented, quality-focused company that has earned my strongest recommendation.

We were so happy with the new driveway and front yard landscaping that Unique Pavers did last year…read more(below) that we hired them again! They completely transformed our backyard to include two patios surrounding a putting green, a low wall, pathways, and new landscaping with fruit trees and a hedge with drip irrigation. An extensive drainage system included french drains, area drains, and tying the downspouts directly into drains. This was important because water would pool in our backyard after heavy rains. We had high expectations because we knew what Unique Pavers did for our driveway and front yard, and they did not disappoint! Rick has amazing vision when it comes to designing spaces. Dan is a great project manager who was onsite nearly every day and has excellent communication skills. And the hardscape and landscape crews really know how to execute; they worked hard and worked together well. Everyone we encountered went out of their way to accommodate our detailed requests, moving a favorite plant, and waiting for a smart lighting controller to be shipped. I could say more but the fact that we are a repeat customer says it all! Unique Pavers is a good value and we highly recommend them.

This review for Manny is long overdue! We have used Manny's services on 3 different occasions at 2…read moredifferent properties and have been pleased with his customer service, craftsmanship, expertise, and willingness to accommodate the customer. We had a huge extension done in 2020 where he poured concrete for our foundation extension and 2 car garage. In 2022, he came back and poured colored concrete with stone finish for a 2 car driveway, 1 car driveway and a front door walkway. In 2024, he just finished pouring concrete for a long driveway with broom finish plus side walkway. I have been thoroughly pleased with manny and his team that work hard and deliver quality work. I don't hesitate to recommend manny and would utilize his service many times over. Don't hesitate to contact Manny, you will not be disappointed and can feel confident and relaxed that you are hiring the right person for the job. Manny offers competitive pricing for quality work.

We recently hire Pedro's team to redo our driveway and walkway with pavers, and we're extremely…read morehappy with the results! The team worked quickly without cutting corners--the project was done very fast, and the quality is top-notch. They are very detail-oriented and kept the worksite clean throughout the entire process. We've gotten a lot of compliments from neighbors, and several have asked us about who did the work because it looks so great. Their pricing was also very reasonable compared to other quotes we received. Overall, highly recommend them if you're looking for great workmanship, reliability, and a smooth experience from start to finish!

During the estimate and planning, there were a few difficulties in communicating my requirements, but this was true for other companies I contacted so not letting it impact the review. After a recent rain we can confirm the water is flowing away from the house and the broom finish and joint lines turned out nicely.

We received pricing from five different companies. His price was competitive, and I told him we were awarding the work to him. He came around to do a final review and my only negative was that he said the price had to go up by $200 due to the increase in concrete pricing since the time of his original quote 3 weeks earlier. The work he did was fantastic, and the color match of the concrete to our original driveway was great. He also did the line etching in the concrete to match the pattern in the surrounding areas and it was a perfect job.

He patiently explained to me the technical problem and said there was a quick fix and a more durable fix that would cost twice as much. This larger price was comparable to other estimates. What impressed me was Laurencio's technical knowledge about the issue and specific recommended fix. Later he showed up with his employee Manuel on the first day and carefully explained to him what work needed to be done. His employee Manuel was efficient and respectful. At the end of the job he inspected the work with me and filled in any weak spots we noticed. Quality work from a professional team!

I needed a hardscaper for a new driveway, sidewalk and back patio steps. When I met Paul from…read moreAlexander & Sons, I knew intuitively without question he is the kind of high quality vendor that I seek out. He was thorough, detailed, creative, conscientious and he truly listened - to my goals, likes/dislikes, and concerns. He provided me with recommendations across all 3 work areas that took into account the needs and special considerations for each location. He worked to ensure that we had a good strategy for redirecting water from the downspout to the patio and for redirecting water via a small 'channel' parallel to the driveway to allow for better water management. Being a highly visual person, I also found their showroom very helpful in choosing colors and patterns for the stamped concrete finish. In preparation and execution, Paul and the team took great care planning out each phase, protecting my new glass garage door and fixing a small nick on the house during the cement pour. He also personally adjusted the patio downspout, intentionally going out of his way with a plan to avoid creating unnecessary holes in the new siding. He also helped me anticipate and plan for mail and other deliveries during the time the walkway would be off-limits. He also worked well with my neighbor to plan for and to gain access to the garage each day in my absence. He regularly sent pictures and text updates. All of this because he is thorough, creative, conscientious, detailed and seems to sincerely care about his clients. The result: Exactly what I had hoped, delivered on time, with quality, care and with consideration for my schedule and the well-being of my home. Paul delivered to his word. I would hire Paul and the Alexander & Sons team again for any hardscaping in the future.

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.

We recently completed a full master bathroom renovation along with a whole-house repipe (galvanized to copper), and from start to finish, Gabriel and his team were professional, transparent, and detail-oriented. Project Pitch Phase: Gabriel came out at least twice to carefully assess the scope of work. He was thoughtful in his recommendations - for example, suggesting we update the bay window to ensure the entire bathroom felt cohesive and aesthetically aligned. While it added to the cost, he explained the reasoning clearly and never felt pushy. He was upfront about pricing and the overall plan. He even invited us to visit another active job site so we could see the quality of work firsthand, beyond just online photos. Additionally, he had his plumber come out to provide a free quote for the copper repiping, which we appreciated. Work in Progress: Gabriel has built an incredible team. His project manager, Israel, was friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful - especially when it came to selecting tiles, vanities, and fixtures. He helped obtain contractor discounts from vendors and was on-site almost daily (even if just for 10-15 minutes) to check in and address questions. After each visit, he followed up with videos and written notes summarizing discussions, which we found extremely professional and reassuring. The crew was punctual (arriving between 8-9am daily), respectful, and highly skilled - special shoutout to Asa for his craftsmanship. There were typically 1-2 workers on-site each day, and the entire project was completed in about 6 weeks. Wrap Up: The team cleaned up daily, which made living through construction much easier. At project completion, Gabriel even brought in professional cleaners to clean the entire house and driveway - a thoughtful touch. Most importantly, he was responsive and quick to address any small issues we noticed once we began using the new bathroom. Overall, we're very happy with the results and would confidently recommend Step Up Construction for renovation projects. Gabriel and his team deliver quality work with professionalism and care.

He…read morearrived 45 minutes late to our appointment and came across with a dismissive attitude from the start, including comments like, "We're not the cheapest company out there." He then provided what felt like a very rough "guesstimate" of nearly $20,000 for approximately 757 square feet of upstairs flooring plus the staircase -- which came in at roughly 2-3 times higher than several other licensed contractors I've since met with. I originally thought their near-perfect 5-star Yelp rating seemed too good to be true, and unfortunately my experience did not live up to those reviews. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Step Up Construction.
