Los Angeles Masonry Contractors

" did extensive rock wall construction work for us in 2001 when he was a sole contractor. As was the case then, his bid for this job was fair and competitive. From the planning stages through the main job and to the end of all finish work, and (now working as partners) handled ...more every aspect of the job professionally and personably. They responded to questions quickly, made adjustments and changes thoughtfully and at a fair price, and showed up with all appropriate crew members on time daily (with exceptions when rain interrupted the job early on). I handled the permitting at the building and planning department, and

and

supervised all inspections. The job was never delayed by any inspection issue. I would not hesitate for a minute to trust the work the professionals and construction team members of this company perform and would commend their work to anyone needing concrete, masonry, tile, rock or other related services."

"I?ve been thinking of doing a room addition for many years now, and I always felt that one thing was missing. And that was a bigger master bedroom and a master closet, but I didn?t know where or how it was going to fit in the space I had. So I went online and found Advanced. Nick came out and came up with the perfect solution. The Advanced team added ...more new master bedroom and a huge walk in closet for me. They were able to bring out the master bedroom without compromising the size of my backyard. It was so well designed and built!"

" was very professional, punctual, responsible, pleasant and the price was very fair. I had an excellent experience overall. He kept me apprised of how the project was going, how long each part would take, what obstacles were discovered and how he would deal with them. His solution to our particular driveway problem was creative, ...more aesthetically pleasing and less expensive than what others had proposed. His brick work was beautiful. He and his crew worked very hard and the results were excellent. I would highly recommend

and would certainly hire him again in the future. Thank you

!"

"This is the third time I have worked with and I appreciate his work on many levels. First of all, he was on site for the majority of the project and did the finish work himself. He has over twenty five years of experience and the construction aspects of the project are pretty much second nature to him now. He and his assistant, ...more

, dug a foundation and put in securing metal bars in excess of what was required by building codes. The fun was in the design of the river rock surface. I had chosen the stones myself and although I lack any masonry skills, I work in a profession that requires visual appraisal and decision making so having opinions about the detail of what I see is second nature to me. In other words, I am a chronic kibbutzer weighed down by the fact that a rock wall is FOREVER. And that is perhaps what I appreciate most about

: he understands and is immensely gracious and patient with my artistic participation. He not only takes considerable effort to explain to me what he is doing & why but he's willing to debate the pros and cons of a specific stone in a specific place and even redo something that distresses my eye. This makes the whole process fun and special for me and I look forward to working with him on many a future project. I also greatly appreciate his assistant's impressive neatness and attention to detail. As an example, I had stretched a hose out to a far flung plant and at the end of the day

did not coil it on its hook but took the trouble without my asking to re-

it back to the plant where he had found it exactly along the path I had placed it. I was truly impressed. At the same time, I found construction waste that had been inadvertently put into the green yard waste container. I pointed it out to

and it was immediately and happily corrected. The point here that if you are fussy about what you want, nothing beats staying directly involved with the project and that

is very special in that he makes a point of being comfortable with a client doing just that."

"Both and his crew were very professional and trustworthy. All the work was done extremely well and in a timely manner. A phone call was promptly returned, questions were politely answered and suggestions were offered when needed. helped with procuring the materials at a better price and was here to ...more receive the materials when delivered. Because the work was interrupted by the rain,

or his wife would call to let us know they were not coming or when they were returning. Very courteous individuals. This company provided such good services that we will be using them again in the future once we select the materials that we need. I would unhesitatingly recommend them."

"Showed up on date and time, laid down protective paper everywhere, were accomodating of our absences, were extremely thorough in checking levels of tiles, did beautiful work, and cleaned up after. Price was very competitive."

" is terrific, plain and . He's a drainage expert who was recommended to me by my highly regarded foundation experts when I bought an old house about 18 months ago. came out at the time to advise on drainage fixes, particularly for water leaks through a block wall into my back room. ...more I chose to do a less expensive, interim solution at the time, but discovered in last winter's heavy rains that it was highly inadequate. When I had the adjacent fence taken down last month, I realized it was probably the only time I would have access to the area behind that room.

came out on a day's notice, suggested the swale as an effective, low-cost and non-intrusive partial solution, and came back with his crew a few days later. After a break for rain, they spent several days tearing off bizarre, ineffective siding (the previous owner had used window screens -- no wonder it leaked!) and putting in stucco instead. He also was extremely accommodating about related tasks, per above.

is the antithesis of the typical contractor: unfailingly polite, generous with his time and advice, and has a very competent crew, all of whom speak English. I'm planning to use him for some further work next summer when I can afford to hire him again."

" came out to give an estimate quickly and started work within a couple days. His crew showed up early every morning and got the whole job done in a timely manner. While he wasn't around the whole day, he did stop by to check in and answer any questions. He also had some good suggestions along the way. Overall, a great experience."
