Contracted with Oscar and Solid Brick Contracting in the summer of 2021 to install a large paver patio and retaining wall. Initially the worksmanship was good, however it quickly went downhill from there. First, even with 3D dimensioned drawings that I provided as well as explicit instruction, they left the retaining wall short by 8", resulting in added steps to get to the back doors. Oscar did admit fault, and raised the wall and grade an entire 8" to match the drawings. Fast forward a couple of months, the pavers started sinking along the retaining wall. I notified Oscar and they came to fix it a week or so later. After another 6 months, same issue in the same place. He addressed it once again and promised he fixed the problem. Another year later, the same issue in the same place. He once again promised me that this time would be the last as he would make 100% sure it was properly fixed. That fix lasted about a year before the depression started showing up again. Still haven't heard back from him. Don't do business with this guy. He takes your money, does shoddy work, and although initially made repairs, fails to follow through on his promises. read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!! If I could give less than 1 star I would!!! I had a contract with Solid Brick Contracting, LLC, Oscar Padilla, to do some landscaping at my home. We agreed on a price for the work, and I gave Oscar Padilla a down payment in June to get started. As time passed, we were unable to solidify a date that worked for all parties to complete the work, so I requested the down payment be returned. After multiple phone calls and messages of promises to refund the down payment, I still have not been refunded my down payment. I now have to file a civil suit against this company and the owner, Oscar Padilla in hopes of getting my money back. !!!!DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!! Find someone else to do your work!!!! read more

The patio looks great. The job is unfinished. So I cannot give him praise beyond that. Expect delays and empty promises. Maybe he will fix his mistakes, but I doubt it. read more

We would like to say thanks to Oscar and his staff at Solid Brick Contractors, LLC for the beautiful paver work around our 27 year old pool. Your quick call back to coordinate a start date was appreciated and completing the work prior to our grandsons 7th birthday party was a bonus. Oscar made several suggestions regarding layout and accents that made the area perfect. It is like having a new pool again. read more

Horrible, I wouldn't recommend Oscar Padilla and Solid Brick Contracting to anyone. The project started off fine, but once issues starting coming up, incorrect cuts, paver problems, forgot to lay down paver fabric, pool coping mistakes, that's when things got really bad. If you have him do your pool coping don't even think of hiring him, they are not experienced with pools at all. Oscar shows lack of professionalism and a really bad attitude. Oscar literally screamed "God **** it" two different times at me and my wife when we pointed out mistakes by his crew. No one screams like that at my wife ,he did apologize for that but his attitude was still very bad after that. He had to redo the pool coping twice due to major mistakes by his team, and it still has issues that he didn't come out to replace after almost 3 months. While trying to get these issues resolved, he cancelled roughly 5 times on us since he was paid him initially and its still not fixed. Him and his crew have NO attention to detail, very poor workmanship. Lastly, on the final day we noticed defects with the pavers, and we reported the problem to him ( He told us wait a day or so and it will come off with soap and water, it never came off) and the manufacture. Fast forward 2 months, the manufacture agreed to send out replacement pavers at no cost, but Solid Brick Contracting expects me the customer to pay twice for labor. The manufacture stated that Oscar Padilla should of never put these pavers down since they were defective. Bottom line is do not hire Oscar Padilla and Solid Brick Contracting, the price may seem good at first, but the unprofessional-ism, lack of quality, and failure to respond once the job has been paid for is unacceptable. read more

Oscar and his team paved two patios, one walkway, landing with steps, irrigation system, ran 7 Pop ups for six rain down spouts, sod for backyard and sides of new home. This was four years ago. Here's where I am today: 1) irrigation system replaced by TLC, Inc. The location of the sprinklers and low number zones was not adequately watering my lawn. TLC doubled the zones and relocated the heads. Oscar had ran PVC pipe through the center of my lawn creating a hazard over time as the ground sank. 2) inside my home, in a finished basement, Oscar and the team tapped into plumbing to run a line outside for the irrigation system. One of the elbow connectors was never glued. It took 3 years for it to fail, and unfortunately it failed at night. The result was a clear water flood that did $18,000 in damage. 3) with all the rain we had this summer, a sink hole appeared next to the foundation, at the center of it is the pop up Oscar and his team ran underground, but never glued the connection (just like the basement). That cost me $2300 4) the steps from the landing and steps connecting the patios have all failed and in need of repair. Here's the bottom line - Oscar is not who he represents himself to be. His work is below average, fails over time, and once he has your money you won't hear from him. He has changed his company name twice that I am aware of, it's possible their could be more. DON'T believe a thing he says about his work, it is sub par. read more

Marcello came out to my house to view the brick repair. Was told by Macello I would have the estimate the following day and that never happened. I called him 4 days later onTuesday and he said he just happened to be working on my estimate and had some questions. After answering insignificant questions he told me he would email me the quote that night. Thursday 2 days later and absolutely nothing from Marcello and SBC. I don't know why they come if they're not going to bother quoting the work. read more

***You can view pictures here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Cx8j1Ai1zjqn4j4f9 Solid Brick contracting was contracted to remove an existing concrete walkway and brick patio and replace them with a bluestone and brick border as show in the pictures. I would like to caveat anything I say here by simply stating that the pictures below are, in fact, the work that was completed by Solid Brick Contracting. If you feel the quality of work displayed in these pictures is professional, then you can ignore this review, but I do recommend reading because their responsiveness after I paid for the job in full was essentially nonexistent. This may concern you if you have similar issues in the beginning or in a year from now if you have a warranty issue. After the job was complete and I paid in full (my mistake), I contacted Solid Brick Contracting on 5/3/2018 via email. To date (6/19/2018), they have not even come out to look at the issues, let alone address them. They have made 4 attempts to schedule something, but they never followed through or cancelled. My main issue is with the brick work around the porch. I actually mentioned some of the issues below to Solid Brick Contracting before I paid. They said that the pressure washing and cleaning would address the issue regarding the mortar residue and the mortar joint shaping, uniformity and smoothness. I did find this hard to believe, but I gave it a chance. My mistake was really not allowing it to dry overnight before paying him because it was still wet when I came home so it made everything look uniform. (Note: Just as a side note, notice that a lot of the pictures in the reviews on various sites show it wet. This hides a lot of the imperfections and I assume that is why they do it.) While the pressure washing did remove a bit of the mortar residue, it did very little if anything for the uniformity and smoothness of the shaping of the mortar joints. As I see it, here are the issues with the brick work still: 1) There is still a lot mortar residue on the surface of the bricks around the whole porch. 2) There is significant color variation in the mortar joint. 3) The brick pattern is not consistent. (I don't know why I didn't notice that before I paid, but I didn't). The top row on the left side and one of the rows on the right side does not match the offset pattern of all of the other brick work. 4) The bricks are not level, plum, or laid flat. The surface looks jagged as you can see. 5) The color of bricks also do not match, they replaced 3 bricks in the bottom row on the left side. You can clearly see which ones they are. 6) The difference in the widths of the mortar joints in general on the brick around the porch is significant. They should all be uniform in width. 7) The mortar joints themselves should be smooth and shaped evenly through the entirely of the work. They are clearly not. Oddly enough, the brick work on the border of the walkway is relatively fine. I am not sure what happened on the porch. It is such poor craftsmanship that I cannot accept it. I don't see any other option other than completely removing the brick border on the porch and redoing. In addition to the brick work, they also left A LOT of mortar residue on my concrete driveway and left the debris from the excavation in my backyard. If it was clean fill, I would not mind, but it ended up being almost all rock and pebbles. Rock up to 4" or 5" in diameter and A LOT of it. I cannot even run over that area with my lawnmower or it will damage it. I asked him to address this before I paid hem and it appears they didn't do it or did a poor job doing it. I should have checked that before I paid, but I just didn't. There were a few other things not done to contract, but I did not mention them here, but may decide to as the resolution to these issues progress. read more
