    New patio
    Jon W.

    RB Concrete Masonry and Landscaping did a phenomenal job on my patio. My previous patio was a mix of painted and fading 50-year-old concrete slabs and dated pavers that were uneven and settled into the ground. Ramiro & Brayan were great to work with every step of the way. From concept and design, quoting, color and texture choices, all the way to the project completion. They both are reachable and easy to communicate with and above all - their workmanship and product was stunning! They are hard working and efficient. My project had a hiccup when it was discovered that my AC line set ran under my patio and was in really bad shape. I ultimately had an AC team come and replace the line set before the new concrete was put down. Ramiro and Brayan were very accommodating to the interrupted timeline and worked with me on the delay without any problem. Overall, they were great to work with and the finished product looks beautiful - I highly recommend them!

    Completion of their scope

    AMAZING! From design conception to completion, my project was executed perfectly by Ramiro and his crew. My 550+SF deck was falling apart. I wanted to eliminate it and replace with a patio space. However, my house is raised, so my idea was to keep the newer section of the deck. I determined the area to retain, blue taped it, and it was done...to exact design in my mind. Every detail that I wanted, it was done to the "T". Ramiro was always on top of his communication, and very responsive to my questions and asks. The craftmanship on the work was great as well. I've observed every stage of the job and I had no complaints! Everything was done accordingly...meaning the grading/sloping of the cement, the drainage, and the rebar. The woodwork was excellent as well! Due to the location of where the deck was cut, Ramiro needed to add bracing support. The new steps were cut and aligned to the old deck seamlessly. I also had Ramiro install the pergola I ordered from Costco. This was no easy task. It's a 10'x20' SF operable ceiling louvers. They have not done one before, so I provided the details from the manufacturer and videos. They took the time to review all the reference materials beforehand and upright it perfectly. In the pictures, the reduced deck was not stained or painted, because it wasn't in their scope. Saving some tasks for my son to do. :) Ramiro and team can do the work of most trades...cement, paver, and woodwork (from my experience). It is rare to find a team that can do it all. Certainly a cost savings from having a GC contracting with multiple sub-contractors...in my case, would've been three subs. I am extremely happy with my new backyard space and will be enjoying it for years to come!

    Ramiro was brought in as a sub-contractor to replace the coping around our swimming pool (we were looking for a more modern look) and he did a terrific job. I asked if he could replace the rock facing on the front of our house and he was easily able to get us on his schedule. The job was a lot more involved than we had expected, but he was a master. The new look has brightened up the look of our house and drew compliments from the neighbors. Ramiro and his crew are responsive and very professional. We would recommend him without reservation.

    Before demo

    Ramiro, Brayan & team did an excellent job with the demolition and installation of pavers on our very large driveway. Ramiro was very attentive & responsive from our initial request for an estimate to the last day on the job. His crew arrived on time daily and finished the job in a timely manner. Quality work with fair pricing. We look forward to using them again on future projects.

    Before restoration

    Had my 25 yr old pool redone. Ramiro & Brayan were hired to do the hardscape remodel. This included: demo of an old waterfall, removal of existing stone, tile, coping, and concrete deck surrounding the spa; removal of old tile in the pool; adding tile in the spa & pool; adding new coping to the spa and steps; new tile face surrounding the spa; new stone deck, retaining wall & stone steps to match existing stone; new concrete walkway behind the spa; expanded concrete walkway to match existing stamped concrete and installed related drainage for the project. See pictures of before and after. This team and their workers do excellent detailed work, are professional, reliable, good communication, hardworking, and honest. I highly recommend them.

    Ramiro and his crew did an amazing job on our project! What we needed done: 18" (leaning) concrete retaining wall removed, replaced with treated lumber wall, remove & replace 100' length of fence that was on top of the concrete wall. I got numerous estimates for concrete removal and separate estimates for the fence. Ramiro was the only one who said he could do both! His estimate was very fair. He and his crew started on time and finished earlier than expected. He returned texts promptly with me and my neighbor that shared this fence. He built the fence exactly how we wanted it. They were all so friendly and cleaned up thoroughly when all was done. It's obvious he takes great care in his work and knows what he is doing. I will definitely be hiring him to do other work for us in the future! Included is a before/after picture

    We were referred to Rb Masonry through a friend who leveraged Ramiro and his team for two backyard projects. We hired them to take on our driveway and they did not disappoint! Ramiro and team were excellent -- Incredibly prompt, clean, detail oriented, and hardworking. They worked tirelessly in the heat to stay on schedule and were meticulous in their execution. It's clear they take pride in their work.

    Blue Pool coping tile. Ramiro did a great job.
    Debra B.

    Ramiro and his son, Brian, do exceptional work. They have a strong work ethic and their workmanship is top notch. I inherited a family home that my grandparents built close to 80 years ago. All of the concrete around the property needed replacement and the pool needed renovation along with other items. Ramiro was very attentive to my wants and needs and he provided me ideas when I was lost or needed guidance. I asked Ramiro so many questions and he was so patient with me throughout the entire process even when I would change my mind a dozen times. Ramiro was very communicative with me and he always responded to my calls or text messages promptly. Ramiro demolished close to 6000 square feet of concrete from the property, repoured the concrete with pebble, installed a new shed, installed a gas fire pit, installed new aluminum patio columns, installed the pool coping (Silver Travertine), installed the blue tile inside the pool, built a wood deck front porch and redid my driveway and installed drainage on my driveway. I have nothing but great things to say about Ramiro and his work. I cant tell you how any people would stop and ask me who was doing all of the work and I would provide them Ramiro's name and number. I have a few more projects for Ramiro coming up in the spring. You will be veryyyyy happy you went with Ramiro, no doubt. Call or text him Today! Thank you so very much Ramiro!

    Gate with arbor.

    Ramiro replaced and updated a retaining wall and fence shared with my neighbor. Additionally, he replaced two gates on my property. All of Ramiro's work looks great. He listened carefully to what my neighbor and I wanted and translated our ideas into an attractive and functional design. Ramiro and his crew were very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Ramiro and his crew.

    We had a great experience NAB Construction! Our pickleball court had broken concrete on one end,…read moreand was too short on the other. NAB removed all the bad concrete and replaced it with pavers, and on the other side of the court, they added 5 feet of concrete where we had lawn, as well as adding to our existing retaining wall. After the pavers were installed, I noticed something not to my preference with the paver layout. I contacted Nick, our site manager from NAB, and he was very responsive, and arranged for Nate (the company president) to come out right away and discuss the matter, which was resolved that same day to my complete satisfaction. Nick also was happy to arrange for a few other small tasks related to bricks and concrete on our property to be taken care of, and they were - at no added cost. NAB construction was not the lowest bid we got for this work, but I have learned the hard way that going with the lowest price is not always a great idea, and I am glad I went with NAB for this project. I'm very satisfied with the results of this project, and would not hesitate to recommend NAB construction to others.

We wanted a walkway installed so we went back but this time we dealt with someone by the name of Nick Vard. He was very unprofessional and used the terms "outside the scope of work" and asked us to make a "commitment" several times. I went to Brickyard on a Saturday at 8AM per the direction of Nick but when I called him about our selection he never called me back. He blamed us and said they lost money on the job because it took longer than expected. He tried to convince me to use a brick I did not like. And the biggest disappointment was the drainage that they left unfinished. We spent almost $10k but we feel like the job is incomplete. Wish we could recommend them but if they continue working with Nick Vard you should stay away.

    We recently completed a landscaping project that included a new front lawn, a backyard fire pit and…read morefire ring, an expanded planting area, and new irrigation in both the front and back yards. Overall, we are happy with the finished project. The fire pit and planting area turned out beautifully, and the lawn looks great. There were a few dead spots in the new grass, but the team returned and repaired them. There were a couple of details that did not fully meet our expectations. We had a propane box installed to supply the fire pit, and we were disappointed with the cover, which was made from only two large standard tiles and does not look as finished as we had hoped. We were also surprised that much of the irrigation system was installed using flexible tubing rather than Schedule 40 pipe that was trenched and buried. Since much of the tubing is covered only by bark, we are concerned it could be damaged as people walk through the area. That said, Nick did a good job helping us plan the project and was very responsive whenever we had questions or concerns. Despite a few areas that could have been handled differently, we are pleased with the overall outcome.

The finished backyard looks excellent and the quality of the construction appears high. Vanessa specifically provided excellent, white-glove service throughout the entirety of the project and was super responsive to all of our communication. We did have a number of issues arise with the crew (mainly excessive dust seeping into our house and trash being left behind on the neighbor's property line), as well as the accounting department (an accidental attempt at overcharging us), but Vanessa always did an excellent job of troubleshooting these issues and helping to guide everybody towards a resolution. She also worked diligently on our backyard design and expertly guided us through several iterations and unexpected construction issues. I highly recommend working with Vanessa and Black Diamond Pavers.

From beginning to end the experience was great. I'd reached out to multiple companies, planning to take numerous bids, but amazingly found that few were unresponsive. FCR on the other hand was quick to respond to my inquiry on their website Contact page and were quick to set up the estimate appointment. The downside was I needed to wait two weeks. In the meantime I met the Project Manager from another company and was pleased with the experience, except that I never received a bid even though we texted several times. Rob Quinlan from FCR was similarly on time, but his amiability, professionalism, and communication, both in person and in subsequent texts, set him apart. He has excellent follow through, too, as our gates attest! He also really knows the ins and out of gates. When I said I wanted ours to be pushed open from the street side, Rob asked if we had a pool. It turns out that if one has a swimming pool, the gate legally has to swing out to the street. Rob explained that pulling a heavy gate is harder for little kids than pushing it, making it less likely they can access a backyard and drown! I was so impressed with Rob that I told him then and there that I wanted to move ahead with FCR. I received the quote and a contract later that day. It showed the options for the two different types of Redwood. Rob had explained that the photos one sees of beautiful fences are always made of the more expensive wood, from the heart of the tree. I had said that was the one I wanted, but it was still great to see options and prices laid out. I was able to sign the contract electronically. It was another two weeks before the actual installation, but the day of the work was fast and smooth. The crew and Rob arrived separately and on time. We all discussed every detail afresh, this time with Hector and Paco weighing in with their own expertise. There was some discussion among the men as to how and where to install the posts for the new double gate so that it would stay strong for the long term. I was consulted as well and made it clear that longevity and easy operation were paramount to me. I also mentioned that I was nervous about the possibility of there being a pipe to the house in that area, one that was private and therefore not marked by the utility companies. (Rob had done his company's legal duty of arranging the 8-1-1 Dig Ticket ahead of the work day). Rob took me seriously and walked out to the sidewalk, saw that there was indeed a drainage outlet there and told Hector to dig slowly and attentively. Rob left for the day and Hector and Paco got to work. Hector did find the water pipe about 12" down, right where the post was supposed to go. He had me come out and see the situation. He gave me two options: place the post over the pipe, in which case it would lack endurance for the long term, or go two feet down in the hole he had already dug closer to the house. I opted for the deep hole and the reliable fence. I was glad to have been consulted. I was grateful for Hector's having found the pipe without damaging it. Both gates and the small fence surrounding them were completed between 8am and 3pm. The areas were all cleaned up. Hector had me come out and assess the work. The gates have easy and sturdy hardware on them. They open and close with ease, swinging into the backyard as specified. They're attractive, substantial, and show every sign of enduring. I knew from the good communication that I could simply hand the check to Hector. Rob was going to come by to make sure I was happy but I said I was exceedingly pleased and insisted he didn't need to. He followed up with a text nevertheless to double check and I gave him a glowing, detailed review. Later that day I received an invoice showing I had paid. I couldn't be any happier than to have trusted this work to FCR Fence & Deck.
