My wife and I recently hired Veliz Masonry to replace some concrete that was sagging and also pour some new concrete, and I can honestly say I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. The results at the end of the project were exactly what we had envisioned - it's super clean, smooth, and exceptionally well done. What really made them stand out from all of the other quotes we received for this project was the very detailed quote, the quality of work we could see in their previous jobs (yelp reviews), and most of all the quick responses/communication. They didn't just remove my old concrete and pour new, they actually helped move and adjust parts of my sprinkler system in multiple locations so that not only would it not get damaged, but would be accessible when I need to repair/move it in the future. That level of care and attention to detail isn't something you will find with every company, and I really valued it. They worked efficiently, always arrived on schedule, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process, so I was informed at every step of the way of what was happening, and what to expect. When the job was done, they cleaned everything up like they were never here, except of course for the beautiful new concrete. The quality of their work is genuinely top-notch. They take pride in their craftsmanship and it shows. Honestly, they were worth every penny of the contract, and I'm thoroughly glad I went with them. For anyone considering concrete or masonry work, I can not recommend Veliz Masonry enough. I would absolutely not hesitate to hire them for any future masonry work and look forward to future projects with them. read more

Otilio was easy to work with, he was on site the whole time and hands on, in fact, he was quick on his feet, always moving with purpose unlike other contractors who stand around and bark orders. They brought their own porta potty, they created a 80 foot long 6 foot high cinderblock wall in one week, eight hour days. during the high winds and wildfires, our previous wall was knocked over by the wind, now we have a strong sturdy wall that stands straight as can be. read more

Otilio and his crew were courteous, clean, and most of all, professional. The porch they built for us is beautiful with impeccable stonework. Also installed 2 drains to the street. New surrounding concrete. Changed the look of our house and lots of compliments from friends and neighbors. Do not hesitate to hire Veliz for your project! read more

I am so grateful to Otilio and his crew for installing new stone veneer on my home. I am very happy with how the project turned out. I was guided every step of the way. From selecting materials to answering all of my questions and providing an accurate work completion timeline. I have complete confidence in this group of skilled masons. I was so impressed with my results and how detail oriented they were that I will be using them for my future projects. read more

I can't give a higher praise for the work completed. The last 6 months I've dealt with many unrealizable contractors who either didn't finish the work, or delayed it unreasonably. Otilio came out promptly to provide a quote for a cement slab 4ft x 26ft. His quote was reasonable and we told him we would like to move forward at his earliest convenience. Since he other jobs he asked if it was okay to start work in a week which was fine for us. We set the time and date and Otilio and his crew were out here first thing in the morning. They worked the entire day and cleaned up the backyard neater than it was when they arrived. The concrete was sloped properly to drain where our drainage pipe is located and we only need to install gravel in the front section where the sprinklers are. Couldn't be happier to find someone skilled and responsible and would strongly recommend he and his team. read more

Veliz Masonry - Concrete Slab - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Covina, California

This review is long overdue, so sorry Otilio! Last year we had Otilio and his crew come out and do two jobs. Before I start I must say that Otilio and his crew are the BEST working crew we've had at our house. Super nice, completely honest and must have people to tackle your project. I wish we had more work for them. They get the work done right, the first time and answer all of your questions. Their prices are also extremely fair for high quality work. The first was our front entryway, where we had them demo the area and install brickwork. We had an existing brick (Davidson) that was lining out flowerbeds that we wanted to match, and Otilio was actually able to find the exact same kind! Our entryway went from hodge-podge to looking like its been there since the house was built. They also poured a new slab, so the brickwork will never fall apart from underneath. Super detail oriented, and they took about a week to do the whole job and everything came out perfect. The second job was in our backyard. We have an old bomb shelter which was leaking in the rain. It also had 18" of dirt on top, and in the rain the water had nowhere to go so it just sat in the dirt. We did most of the demo, and Otillio came and did the last of it. We had him pour a slab on top, with sloping in two directions. He also added stairs, and cut-lines in the concrete in important spots. For a final touch he capped the retaining wall with 12"x12" caps. He sealed all of the new concrete with a silicone roll on sealant. This bomb shelter is a very unique thing to have, and we wanted it to be good for another 100 years. There have been zero issues with their work, and most importantly no more leaks! Veliz Masonry provided that for us. This job required a good amount of detail, and they NAILED it. Thank you Veliz Masonry!!! read more

We had them scheduled to come out for a quote, and they had good communication. They were running behind on schedule and let me know ahead of time if it was okay if they came a little bit late. Otillo was very friendly and seemed like a great guy based on first impressions. My partner told him what we wished to repair, and he told us that he would email us with the quote. We had another quote from someone else that was a bit cheaper, so we ended up not choosing them, but Otillo was great! read more

If I could give Otilio and his crew 10 stars, I would. They replaced my old driveway with a new paver driveway so great that many of our neighbors have stopped to say how great it looks. Pro's 1. His bid was very complete and professional. While not the cheapest, his was reasonable. He clearly outlined what would be done and how much. 2. Communication with us was an ongoing thing, especially when issues arose. Otilio came up with solutions that not only solved the problem but did so reasonably. 3. His crew, esp. Edwin, were so polite and helpful. When a tree branch fell and broke my flag pole, they stopped, fixed it and put the flag back up. Very respectful! 4. When we added to the job, it was not a big problem and got done quickly. 5. They finished on time. They showed up early and stayed late. Will definitely use them again. They were a pleasure to work with. NO con's. read more

We were so happy with this business. They were fast, friendly and knowledgeable and even asked to come earlier than scheduled due to upcoming rain storm and that helped us out too. We had a section of backyard block wall that became cracked due to tree roots. They were able to find matching block that fit in very well with our old wall of 35 years. They ended up digging out very thick old tree roots before putting the wall back together. They did an outstanding job and considering the slope our wall sits on, we were very impressed with the result. It was a bit of a pricy repair but they did the hard work that was needed to get there and it took a couple of days. We would recommend and use again if we needed them read more

This review is long overdue, nevertheless, better late than never! I first met with Leo, such a sweet, gentle and professional man who came to my house to review what I wanted to get done. He was very educational and explained what they could do, the types of bricks there were and was very precise in his measurements and plan of action as the job required demolishing the existing concrete and starting fresh so as to keep within the required depth and length of steps. We live in a townhome, so his son, Otilio, emailed me a very detailed scope of work plan for me to submit to my Homeowners Association for review and approval. The plans were approved without any revision. Otilio was very prompt to communicate projected date to start. Once he and his assistant started, they were like clockwork for 5 days, arrived on time every morning and nose to the grind all day! Otilio communicated plan of work along the way and also reviewed the choices of brick and patterns I could select - he too was very knowledgeable with a broader vision to help facilitate my final selection without pressure. He is a perfectionist and takes pride and responsibility of his work and we so appreciated those fine qualities that he expects and represents of his company. We were extremely happy with the completed work and the nice change to the entry to my home. We have gotten so many compliments from neighbors, family and friends! I highly recommend this professional team if you are considering a new project! Thank you Leo & Otilio! read more

Called Veliz Masonry months ago and Otilio came the same day to give me a quote. He worked with my budget and talked me through every detail of his process. Price was competitive when compared to other contractors. Decided on Otilio because of his professionalism and communication. He scheduled me in his business schedule and finished in less than 3 days. The quality and details of him and his teams work is exceptional. His team even cleaned up and swept all the debris. I highly recommend those company. read more

This review is long overdue. I hired Veliz to fix my collapsed masonry wall in our backyard. They were very honest, courteous, professional, responsive, and punctual. They cleaned up after themselves well and finished the job on time and as promised. I couldn't be heappier with the results. Otilio, his pops and his crew are awesome. These yelp reviews are a true reflection of how awesome they are. Give them a call. You will not be disappointed. read more

This review is long overdue. Veliz Masonary has helped me with two projects. A year ago they added a brick facing to the side of the garage that matched the original bricks on my home - built in 1956. About 2 months ago they put in a cement driveway, front porch, a small patio and a garden planter. Otilio oversaw the whole project from the beginning to the end. He came twice even before the driveway project began in order to answer my questions. He also came to my home mid- way. Otilio, Edwin and Daniel were understanding when I added design changes to the project. Edwin and Daniel always arrived on time. They did a fantastic job with installing a small retaining wall too. It was a long project lasting two weeks and the guys came every day and worked so hard. After the project was over, the neighbors kept commenting on how beautiful and flat the driveway was. I was going to keep this post short, bit is hard to when they did such an awesome job!! Thank you so much Veliz Masonary! read more

3 yrs ago we had veliz masonry co redo our front steps and walkway. We now needed a wheelchair ramp. So we called them again to see what they could come up with. They have such great ideas. We went with it and as you can see from the pictures it came out beautifully. The one son does iron work now and as you can see the craftsmanship of his work is more then we could ever expected. We love how it all came together with the existing walkway. Thank you Veliz Family. read more

After 5 contractors and a range of prices, Veliz was our last call. Well worth the search! Leo was on time for our estimate. He gave us a verbal price, which made me a bit nervous, but the cost was in line worth our budget. I checked their contractors license with the State and they were in good standing. Otillio came on time, ready to work. He knew how to curve the wall just how I wanted it. Both Otillio and Jerry were very knowledgeable. We're on a slope and they brought in a pump cement truck for the footings. They cleaned up every day. Seriously, I could not have been more pleased with the entire experience. I recommend them with the highest praise. I only wish I'd found them sooner, so they could have done all the wall work around our home. read more

If you need a wall or paver pathway Ortillio is your man! He has excellent customer service and communication. We are so pleased with job that was done by him and his team you won't be disappointed. We are looking forward to working with Veliz Masonry in the future. read more

I didnt realize Rosalio and his sons had a Yelp! site, cool. Rosalio and mainly Gerry spent two months at our house doing a bunch of stuff both masonry and general contracting related. Our experience was superb. These guys really know their stuff and are extremely knowledgeable and nice to work with. It really was a relationship with them over these two months and they were great the whole time, through changes (some that we wanted and some that we were forced into), etc. They were great with structural issues (we had mold, rotted joists, drainage issues, etc) and aesthetic issues. It's amazing how great colored stamped concrete looks. They even built us a brick mailbox from a Houzz picture we showed them. read more

We had Veliz Masonry do work on our house. We are beyond happy with the results and the entire process. Otilio (owner) gave us a fair and honest price. These guys work really hard. They redid our driveway, and walkway with concrete. They designed our driveway with nice lines and framing, something so simple, yet it makes it look clean and sharp. We expanded our driveway and also added cement to the side of our house where we keep our trash bins and to our garage entryway. We added a brick wall to divide our property from the neighbors. The bricks were matched to the previous brick wall, and this new wall looks like it belongs there, doesn't look new and out of place. Otilio enjoys what he does, and takes great pride in what he does, you can see his passion and hear his passion as he is sharing design ideas, but also always following what the customer wishes to do. He and the employees are kind, respectful, have follow through, and are professional. We highly recommend Veliz Masonry without any hesitation. If there is something you don't like, Veliz Masonry will work with you to correct it, but you will always know upfront what to expect. Due to Coronavirus and rain, our project took a week longer than expected, we weren't in a rush, but there was communication and we always were aware of what was happening with the project which was appreciated. Choose Veliz Masonry, for an honest and well done job. read more

I had asked the contractor to come out to survey and provide an estimate for a block wall job (the wall is 100'+). Otilio, I am assuming it was the owner, arrived promptly in clean and professional clothing. He was very genuine in the way he explain the process and possible issues that may arise during construction. Without going into too much detail, he actually suggested that I look for alternative contractors that specialize in a different material which he does not work with. If you have dealt with construction contractors in the past, you will know that pretty much all contractor is an expert at anything you ask them (because they want the job), with less regards in the homeowner's best interest. But not with Otilio. For this, I sincerely encourage anyone to make sure to talk to Otilio before settling on a service provider. read more

After a few interviews we chose Veliz Masonry due to fast and courteous response time for a review of the site and email quote. The estimate was slightly lower than others. Otilio was very professional and kind, plus it was a family business so we felt comfortable with them. We had our asphalt driveway removed and replaced it with cement. We had other issues we were trying to address too, walkway and ledges/walls, we had initial ideas but once we shared them, Otilio helped find better solutions. Due to weather our job lasted a little longer, as to be expected. The crew was polite and worked diligently. Otilio was very helpful and responsive throughout the job. We had last minute questions and concerns and he was very knowledgeable. At the beginning of the project he mentioned small things he could do, and he did them all, while they were small, they were important to us and he remembered all of these small details, very impressive. They were professional and trustworthy and we love their work. It's not often you find people who are genuinely kind people and excellent workmanship. We highly recommend them for driveway and masonry, reliable and affordable. read more

Veliz Masonry installed manufactured stone along the front of my house with one exterior wall top to bottom. To say I am very happy with the work does not even do them justice for the amazing work they did. They were very professional, on time, very honest and made sure I was completely satisfied. Their workmanship shows in how great my home looks now. They are detailed and communication before and during the job was excellent. Highly recommend! Can't wait to have them back. read more

We were blown away by the quality of work done by Veliz Masonry! These guys are as good as it gets. After calling several contractors for bids, I knew immediately that I wanted to do business with Veliz. Otilio (the son co-owner) showed up for our quote on time and was very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. His pricing was competitive too. Otilio listened intently to our ideas for the project and worked collaboratively with us throughout the entire design/build process to help transform our vision into a reality. His crew of guys were amazingly efficient and friendly. The entire project was completed on time and well beyond our expectations. We could not be happier with Veliz Masonry. Their level skill, expertise and attention to detail is remarkable. I will be recommending Veliz Masonry to family and friends for years to come! read more

We've had Veliz masonry do three jobs for us. The latest was the largest when they replaced our entire driveway, entry walkway and front yard planters. We met with Otilio and told him what we wanted and he he made some helpful suggestions that we hadn't thought of for the walkway and some parts of the driveway. He was very easy to communicate with throughput the entire process. He told us where to go to find the type of stone we wanted to use for the entryway and planters. Once we decided, he met us at the stone yard so he knew exactly what we wanted and to avoid any mix-ups On the first day they got started, we went over the details once more with his crew to be sure everything was exactly how we had discussed. He gave his crew a copy of the drawn out plans which they kept in the front yard the entire time so they could refer to it anytime. Otilio and his crew were very respectful, considerate and cleaned up the area at the end of each day. Anytime there was a question, they would ask us what we wanted to do. This was very thoughtful of them. Another example of how they want to do the job right the first time. The job took about a month and it was during a heat spell in September. His crew still managed to get the job done and it all came out amazing. Otilio and his crew did a great job and we will always highly recommend them. read more

This mason company we unbelievably! Once other companies discovered it was covered by insurance they wanted to charge for the estimate and deal with my insurance directly.Leave me out of the contract completely. Otilio Veliz provided me with a free estimate regardless of the insurance repayment. He did a great job. His repair work looks better than the original installer. I intend to use Veliz Masonry for other projects. read more

We hired Veliz Masonry in April for a huge concrete project. We had old, worn concrete removed and new concrete put down (approx. 1250 sq ft) and a wall built around the pool equipment. Let me start by saying that we have worked with a number of contractors in the last two years and this company is one of the best companies we've worked with. I was tired of unprofessional contractors that don't deliver the product they pitch! Not only did this company do a great concrete job, but they are professional and kept us informed of everything that was being done. They took care of the permits and even recommended a pool electrician. After removal of the concrete they discovered a pool leak and they advised we needed to get that done before proceeding with the concrete - they assisted us in getting that fixed in a timely matter. This family owned company goes above and beyond to delivery beautiful work. I'd definitely recommend them. read more

My wife and I were considering installing pavers in our backyard for a while now, but did not know who to call. Fortunately, my wife knew someone who recently had Veliz Masonry install pavers in their backyard and we decided to give them a call for a quote. Otilio came out earlier this spring to give us a quote. He listened carefully to my ideas and concerns about installing pavers in the backyard and helped me come up with a plan that involved french drains, Palm Springs gold gravel, weed barriers, a paver walkway and patio. Otilio's communication is prompt and professional. He is very responsive to questions and concerns. After getting quotes from several companies, we decided to go with Veliz Masonry and scheduled for installation during the summer. Veliz Masonry spent the past week clearing the backyard, installing the pavers, and cleaning up. Otilio's dad (and owner) came everyday to work with the crew. My wife and I are (so far) very happy with the work they did. We got Orco Country Cobble pavers (aged finish, Tuscany color). read more

We were searching for the right contractor to redo our hardscapping for over a year and a half. We came across Veliz Masonry and decided to get a quote. When Otilio arrived, he was on time, thorough, and was concerned about the details to make sure we got what we wanted. One thing that stood out to me is that he was able to provide his last two clients as references within a few hours (he had to ask permission from previous clients). In addition, his prices were very good but the best part about Otilio is that from start to finish, I absolutely had no worries. I knew he would do a quality job and even when something bothered us, he took time and made sure we were happy with the result. We had stamped concrete and pavers done and we could not be happier with the result. I would recommend Veliz Masonry any day. Great contractors such as Otilio and his team are very very hard to find. They are reliable, profession, and provide 5 star work. read more

Where do I begin with this review? Without question, Veliz Masonry & Landscaping is the BEST company we have hired to do work at our home. They transformed our backyard into a little paradise! In all Otilio & his crew installed: a very large area of flagstone, a tile deck in the corner of the backyard, two new planter walls all along the back & side walls, new sod w/ flagstone stepping stones leading to corner deck, a brand new backyard sprinkler system for sod & planters, & new plants/palms for planters. Veliz Masonry exceeded our expectations! They take their time to do good, solid, quality work. The whole crew is incredibly talented w/ a keen understanding of both the masonry & landscaping fields. Importantly, Otilio is honest and very respectful. He is also an effective and intuitive communicator, which promoted a smooth business transaction and gave us peace of mind. Without reservation we highly recommend Veliz Masonry!! read more

This family of masonry talent arrived on the time that they specified for the estimate. They took measurements and gave good input on my ideas. They relocated electric anti-syphen valves and everything worked as it did before. The block wall was finished when they said it would be. When they finished up for the evening they cleaned up the mess and made sure everything was safe. After they finished the block walls I also needed an entry gate and drive in gates. Their estimate was the best and after the great work on the walls I let them do the work, and I'm glad I did. I am very happy with every thing they did and would use them again if needed. read more

I called Otilio due to Veliz Masonry's Yelp feedback. My wife and I had a limited idea of what we wanted. Otilio arrived with his I Pad and had many great ideas, photos and even sent us to San Dimas to view his work at a previous client. That client was in his front yard and invited us onto his property. He had been through several contractors and all were a nightmare until Veliz Masonry arrived. We went with the same stone on our home. I asked Otilio to make a last minute adjustment by extending my stairs. He framed and poured them without complaining or asking for additional money. If you need an honest, on time and fair contractor choose Veliz Masonry. read more

I have called Veliz Masonry to give me an estimate to replace my current wood fence with a block wall on my backyard. Otilio responded my message very quick. He is very friendly and seems to me knowing very well of what he is doing. His price is reasonable. Since my current fence posts are still solid, I decided to continue keeping my current fence for a few more years. So I kept out replacing it with block walls for now. Although I didn't use Veliz this time, my experience with them was good and I will definitely thinking to use them when I eventually need to replace the wood fence. read more

Cannot say enough great things about Otilio and his crew. Professional, great communication, and hard working. Best of all they do an amazing job. Thank you again. read more

I tested their "no job is too small" slogan...and they came through! Because of a minor drainage issue there are some areas on my brick patio moss develops. It's dangerous. And since we're expecting 30 for dinner on Christmas eve we thought we needed to get this cleaned up. The guys came this morning right on time. Did a fabulous job in short order. A lot of scrubbing! They even provided me with some tips on what chemical mixtures to use to keep this nasty stuff at bay. I also received a bid on replacing a brick retaining wall. I thought the price for the brick cleaning was a bit high but the bid to do the wall was very reasonable. You can be sure I will call them when I am ready to have the work done! read more

Otilio is a true professional with an attention to detail. I've been lucky enough to work with him twice now and have also referred him to a family member who also gave his work the thumbs up. Otilio created a beautiful brick walkway access path next to my garage (plus helped me finish it off by installing a custom gate for the final touch), as well as repaired a section of concrete patio after a messy tree was removed which included the creation of several custom walk stones. His work is very well thought out and engineered to perform well (how it looks, how long it lasts, drainage, etc). He obviously had a very good teacher. ;) Thanks Veliz Masonry. read more

Veliz Masonry really is as good as it gets. I had a fairly large project in my back yard with concrete, drains, steps, pavers, wrought iron privacy fencing and gates. These guys were really able to manage our ideas and hopes with their own expertise to negotiate ideal solutions throughout the project. Hard working men with very solid integrity as far as doing EVERYTHING in the most professional manner. Please note: I'm trained as a Construction Quality Control Manager and have spent my entire life in the contruction industry (almost 40 years). I was watching step by step and these guys do not cut corners. What a great bunch of guys! Next year we'll have them in the front yard. read more

We asked Otilio Veliz and his masonry team, as well as his brother Gerardo Veliz's iron works business to make my front yard a little more secure and capable of holding in small to medium sized dogs. We had already contracted them a few years ago to put up a large blockwall with wooden topper in the backyard, which turned-out nice. So this year they added about 15" of decorative block followed by about another 3ft of wrought iron fence. They also installed 4 gates. I also asked them to put a slightly wide flat walkway going through our lawn out to the sidewalk leading to a main gate entrance that they installed. Prior to that, the main entrance was via the driveway which was less visible. Otilio suggested we use pavers for the walkway, which we had not considered, but we are very glad we went with the pavers. Well, we were very impressed not only with the practical aspect of the enhanced security, but also how beautiful it all came together. Great thanks to the Veliz family and their employees. read more

I should've written this review 2 years ago, but I became ill, and life got in the way. Long story short, I wanted to write a review for Veliz Masonry because they did a great job, and I wanted to make sure people were made aware. Otilio was personable and professional. He was great to work with, great communication skills. He seemed very trustworthy, and I felt comfortable working with his company. The end results were great as well. I highly recommend them. read more

My wife & I were very happy with Veliz construction for our yard project. Our project consisted of concrete (patio, walkway, driveway), retaining wall, drainage, and mulch (turf replacement). Our goal was to convert yard to more useable area and water conservation. The project completed ahead of schedule.. Exactly 9 days from start to finish. Estimate was 2 weeks. Otilio & his father were very professional, responsive, punctual, and fair. His crew went beyond our expectations and repaired part of our sprinkler system lines, and existing brick walls. Excellent work! read more
