We recently completed a backyard remodel with Unique Home Builders that included pavers and artificial turf in the backyard, as well as artificial turf in the front yard. Before choosing a contractor, we met with roughly 15 different companies, and from our very first meeting, Nir stood out from the rest. Unlike many contractors we spoke with, Nir never made us feel pressured or rushed into making a decision. He took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, what to expect, and answer all of our questions. We made a few design changes throughout the project, and Nir was always willing to meet with us, come back out to the house, review the revisions, and make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. Throughout the entire project, he was always just a text or phone call away whenever we had a question. One thing we were especially happy about was how quickly they were able to get started. Within just a few days of signing the agreement, the crew was onsite and working. We wanted the project completed in time to enjoy our backyard during the summer, so that was a huge plus for us. The demo phase moved quickly, and throughout the entire project it was clear that everyone on the crew took pride in their work. There was always progress being made, and nobody was standing around waiting for something to do. The entire project took about 2-3 weeks, with a few days of delay due to an existing plumbing issue we discovered with our old galvanized main line. This was not related to their work, but once the issue was identified, Nir and his team were able to handle that project for us as well, including permits and inspections. After the plumbing work was completed, they got right back on track and finished everything quickly. As with any construction project, a few small items and details came up along the way that needed clarification or adjustment. Construction projects rarely go perfectly, and we had a few misunderstandings and unexpected issues come up throughout the process. What impressed us was that whenever something needed attention, Nir took ownership of it, communicated with us, and made sure it was resolved. In the end, everything was completed to our satisfaction. One of our biggest concerns before starting was who would actually be working on our property. We work from home and have kids, so we wanted to feel comfortable with the people who would be at our house every day for several weeks. One thing we really appreciated about Unique Home Builders was that they used their own crew. We got to know the team, everyone was respectful, and it made the entire experience much more comfortable. There were also a few design details that we changed while work was already underway. For example, around our palm trees we originally planned to do circular paver borders, but once we saw them taking shape, we decided we preferred square borders instead. We mentioned it to the foreman, and the team made the adjustment without any issues. That flexibility made a big difference. The job site was kept clean and organized throughout the project. During the demo phase there were naturally some days where material and debris accumulated in the front yard, but everything was organized, contained, and safely coned off. We also appreciated the little things. Whenever we were leaving or returning home while the crew was working, they would move equipment and materials out of the way for us, and they would even sweep up before leaving for the day. Those details did not go unnoticed. Pricing was very fair. Nir wasn't the cheapest bid we received, but he also wasn't the most expensive. Given the amount of work involved and the quality of the finished product, we felt the value was excellent. Just as importantly, the final cost matched the agreed contract price. The true test of a contractor isn't whether problems arise, it's how they handle them. Nir and his team consistently communicated, addressed concerns, and delivered a finished project we're proud of. We are extremely happy with the end result, would absolutely hire Unique Home Builders again, and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. read more

Hired this contractor for a backyard renovation project last Summer. The project was to add a couple of Planter walls on the hill next to our pool. The quoted price was alright but the details were missing such as exactly whats covered in the job. later, had to pay more to get the originally promised job. Work was done pretty quickly but the overall quality of work isn't professional. I have some of the paver stones loose with in the first week and more now only after a year. The weed barrier isn't working 100% but overall getting the job done. would not recommend them unless you ask many questions and have every little detail written on the contract. ** made a huge mess on the driveway with the material and did not clean it afterwards. read more

We love our pavers in front and back yard! Job was done very smoothly, professionally, and on time. Thank you!

I was looking for contractors for my parents, someone who can build a cinderblock wall on my parent's home, deconstruct the old wall and handle all the permits associated with it. We must have requested quotes from 15 other companies until we came across Unique Home Builders. Their representative, Or Erez, promptly scheduled a visit with us, assessed everything and emailed us a quote with itemized line items listed! All within the day. My father was impressed with the detailed quote. The quote was a bit high, but they were willing to pay a bit more for quality work and they were not disappointed! Or and his team came and quickly began work. Even the inspectors were impressed with the craftsmanship and the effort they did with just a cinderblock wall! This gave us confidence that we chose the right company. We were so impressed with the wall, we had them do another job with us, to line pavers in the front and backyard. And again, it came out beautifully! Everything was clean and professional done. Or was very polite and answered all our question and concerns. If we find something again, we will definitely go with Or and Unique Home Builders! Thank you, guys! read more

What a great experience using a good contractor has been. I stumbled upon UHB after another contractor totally dropped the ball. I didn't think they would come as far south as OC. I explained my problem... putting turf in front and back of my house before an important event for the family. Nir, one of UHB's project managers, came twice from LA to make sure the quote was perfect. He was also on site the day work started. He kept in regular communication with me throughout the project. UHB priced the project competitively and exceeded my expectations. The work was completed ahead of schedule and done well!!! Their work was top notch. I highly recommend them. Don't let your location deter you from giving them a chance to bid on your job. I wish I had known them sooner. read more

I've been building out my yard based on the wifey's vision and dream. Everything from wall to wall was re-done. However, after years of back breaking work on the weekends I decided to just hired a reliable contractor to finish the last landscape/hardscape. I interviewed about 10-12 companies. It's normal to get various estimates but in the end I chose Unique Home Builders. They were not the cheapest nor highest but very reasonable especially since they have a current contractor's license (checked via Contractors State License Board) to include worker's liability insurance. That's important in case a worker gets injured, etc. From the start I worked with Steve Cohen. He was one of their Project Managers. Steve was great at keeping me informed throughout the process and made sure corrections were completed if needed. He stopped by daily to check on the progress and made sure things are on schedule. Overall I'm very satisfied with Steve and the company's workmanship. I definitely recommend Unique Home Builders for any home related builds and renovations. I will definitely hire them again for future projects. Thank you Steve Cohen and Unique Home Builders for finishing my yard. I can now relax and enjoy. Cheers! read more

Unique Home Builders - Paver patio - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Encino, California

We are very satisfied that we chose Unique Home Builders (UHB) to do our front yard driveway, and walk way pavers. UHB also remodeled our backyard with pavers, planters and vinyl fencing and gates. UHB was quick to respond, punctual and easy to talk to especially Steve Cohen our project manager. Steve exceeded our expectations! He was professional, personable, and clear in explaining the stages of work to be done based on what we requested. He provided a detailed quote shortly after his first visit and adjusted the quote based on our finances. Throughout the entire project, Steve was available to talk to in person, by phone, texts and/or email. It was obvious that he was committed to guide us every step of the way. He truly loves the work he does and constantly assured us that the smallest details I brought up would be addressed and resolved in a timely way. At least 2-3 times a week Steve would give us updates on what work to expect the day of and the days to come. His team of workers were always respectful and very hard workers from the demolition to the completion of the project. The job was finished on time even with the huge added work to replace the main sewer line and washer drain line. I never had a project manager as professional and personable as Steve who actually cared about customer satisfaction! I have had project managers in the past who did not come close to Steve's work ethics and style of management. This involved past projects like re-surfacing my pool, solar panel installation, a full bathroom and kitchen remodel. We love Steve and this company and would highly recommend UHB to others as well. Best regards, Cheyenne and Gloria Del Carmen read more

We used Unique home builders to renovate our backyard. We had a new pool, turf, concrete, gate, tile floor, fire pit, fence and BBQ. From our initial meeting with our project manager Ben we felt very comfortable and that he knew what he was talking about. The price was not the cheapest bid we received but the ability to have all aspects of the job completed by one company and working with Ben was worth paying extra. Ben inspected every phase of the job and made we were completely happy before collecting any progress payments. The price was exactly what was quoted and the final product is high quality. We are extremely happy that we decided to use this company and Ben and will be recommending them to all our friends, family and neighbors. read more

Called and got a quote for paver work same week. His quote was very close to the low end compared to other contractors that came to my home to provide a quote. But the good reviews and after talking Zack I felt it was a good price. Zack was very friendly and responsive to my concerns. His crew was fast and even helped move some sprinklers that were in the way. Total project took about 4 days to complete. They were even nice enough to leave some of the extra pavers left over from the work for me so I could use them as backup in the future or for a side project. read more

No words can describe how grateful we are to have Niko and his amazing team redo our backyard! I met with a few different contractors and once I came across Unique home builders, the vibe was just perfect! When you know, you know! Each and EVERY single step was explained in detail to us. We scheduled dates for 3D design and he worked with us to design the picture-perfect backyard and then bring it to life! He worked with us to create something that was within our budget and told us exactly what we should and what we shouldn't do to stay within that budget all while never compromise quality. The work ethic of his team is seriously unmatchable! I have worked with several different contractors in the past, and these guys really hit it out of the park! They showed up on schedule, worked efficiently, and never left a mess! They were all so knowledgeable and answered all of my questions along the way without any hesitation. We are all so grateful to you and your team for taking the time to help us create a backyard that we can use and appreciate for years to come.

It was a pleasure working with Ben at UHB. I did my Yelp research in sourcing companies for the remodel. We were pleased with the fair quote we received Ben, and we're delighted when it ended up being almost half of what another had quoted. Ben did not pressure us to do extra add ons and extra work like the others. Ben was easy to contact via text kept his appointment schedule with us ok. And his workers were kind and courteous. The most impressive part is that the project was finished ahead of the projected schedule, even though there were a couple small delays due to our indecision. We're very pleased with the work of unique home builders and would recommend them to friends and neighbors. read more

We called Unique Home Builders for our project and we were glad to have been linked up with Zack A. as our sales representative. He was great to work with, very communicative, and patient through the process of helping us build our backyard. We had a blank slate to work with and Zack, Adrian, and their team helped bring it together in just a few short weeks. Initially we planned the project to take a month+, but in just 3 weeks we had a usable backyard! The project consisted of building a paver patio, walkways, a retaining wall and grass with sprinkler system. The pricing was very reasonable and transparent unlike many other companies we had contacted. Zack made sure we had multiple quotes for different ideas we had and helped us make decisions that would make the project come together best. No salesey tactics just, good customer service. He saw the project through completion and ensured we were happy with the work during each step. The construction team led by Adrian were also great. Hard workers that respected our property. Always on time, cleaned up daily, locked our gates etc. We've appreciated the commitment to quality from this company as they have already agreed to come take care of some minor items post-project. If you're looking for a company with great service, pricing, and commitment to quality, you should consider calling Unique Home Builders. read more

We had unique home builders completely change our backyard. They were quick to respond and to send someone out for a quote. Or was the project lead and was very helpful in the design of the backyard. He gave us great suggestions that saved us money. They were also very clear on the payment schedule and they stuck to their timeline. Or was onsite most days to check on the progress and to communicate any issues that needed to be addressed. The only complaint we had was the onsite workers damaged our new gate. It was addressed and repaired. We would definitely use them again for future projects. read more

Have you ever been to a concert and the opening band was better than the headliner? Sometimes things in life exceed our expectations and that's exactly what Nir and his crew did with our driveway. At the beginning, I sent out requests for bids and ended up having 5 companies come over to give me a quote. Unique Home Builders came in at the lowest bid, but my decision was much more than price (*this is always important to note). I just felt a connection and that he was genuine. Not pushy, like the other bidders did immediately. A few suggestions and options were considered, and a follow up appointment so my fiance could meet him as well to make the final decision (as with many households, the husband doesn't get to make the final call so it was important that she felt the company doing the job was genuine). We signed the contract and within two weeks, the entire job was completed. Our house went from looking like Ice Cube's house in the movie Friday, to the house in Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Our neighbors love it and it honestly increased the value tremendously! The experience overall with everything was amazing. I highly recommend going with them for any paver work! I've attached before and after photos. read more

I've only got good things to say about these guys! I worked with Ben and his crew for the backyard of our new construction home. From the beginning of the project to the end of the project, Ben was very responsive and answered all my questions along the way. I was happy to know he was always just a quick text or phone call away. During our consultation, he listened to our wish list and made a ton of recommendations based on that. He was very honest and told us what would and would not work given the amount of space we have - about 500 square feet or so. Ultimately, our goal was to have that cool outdoor LA patio restaurant or coffeeshop vibe. Simple, clean, hip, and cozy. We decided to go with a minimal paver design for the main space with a parameter of planters around the yard. The pavers we picked were a concrete grey 24x24 inch square that were laid straight throughout. For plants, I really wanted to be able to pick them out myself, so I ended up going to a local nursery and buying them there. Rather than paying for delivery with the nursery, Ben's crew was able to pick them up and plant them for me! One thing I wish I would have done was had them install a drip irrigation system and maybe some lights. I was trying to save a couple hundred bucks. But that's nothing an easy DIY project can't complete, right? For price, we found Unique Home Builders to be very fair and competitive. You will for sure get the service and quality you pay for. Obviously prices will vary based on the amount of space you are having done. I say you get a quote for your project and see how it compares to other companies. Ben had availability about a week after we talked, which was nice. They worked very fast and efficiently while maintaining high-quality work. I'm beyond grateful that they were careful (brand new home!), punctual, and cleaned up after working every single day. Overall, I would highly recommend Unique Home Builders. This is a genuine company wanting to make their customers happy! If I ever end up purchasing another property, I will definitely give these guys another call! read more

We couldn't be happier about how our backyard turned out. We needed work done behind our ADU, the side of our house, and a small square area that was inaccessible. The areas needed leveling and demolition of old concrete and drainage work. We were wary of getting into another construction project, as we have been scammed before, and had a major expensive project that had to be redone just prior to this. Steve was communicative from start to finish, respectful, and trustworthy. The crew assigned to our home was Carlos & Jorge. I was so impressed by their work ethic and attention to detail. They are highly skilled in what they do. They were also very respectful of our property and on time each day that they were here. I'd hire Unique Home Builders again in a heartbeat.

We just had our backyard paved by Unique Home Builders. The difference is night and day. Somehow the open space seem so much more open and roomy. The original quote from UHB was very comparable to other quotes we got from other companies. However, Ben was willing to come down a little bit further on the price and also gave us a 2-year warranty on labor instead of 1 year. Over the course of the project UBH was very responsive, accommodating and very willing to work with me. The team that did the actual labor work were extremely hard workers, very friendly and humble. I had a few changes as work was being done, but the workers were very willing to make course corrections and adjusted. The project took a bit longer to finished than I expected but I am very satisfied with the end result. I still have my front yard and driveway to work on and will definitely consider UHB for the job. read more
