Get matched with top paving pros in Lebec, CA

"I enjoyed working with Adrian and he was very friendly and reliable. He showed up on time and had a good team of workers complete the job we agreed on. Everything worked out perfectly and he made sure I was happy with the job before he left. Thank you again Adrian! "

"In retrospect, I shouldn’t have paid him before the job was done. The job was to remove the sod and level the yard, then cover three areas of it with sandstone set in concrete pads. (Later, I would put ground cover/gravel between the stones.) Darren had originally quoted me what sounded like a surprisingly reasonable price for labor (and only labor - I was to buy the stones myself). I hired him and work began. The job seemed to be going well, so I paid him the final check early. Once I handed him the final check (again, a clear mistake on my part to do before the job was finished) and left to go to a doctor’s appointment, he bounced. When I came back to find he was gone and his assistant was cleaning up, I asked where he’d gone. His assistant, Eddie, informed me that I would be putting the stones in myself now, and that he’d help me. I called Darren about this sudden change in plans and he told me that this work was really beneath him so I should be the one to do it. He said he’d taken a job working on my neighbor’s yard for a few days so he’d be close by if anything was needed. Despite my misgivings, I agreed to do the labor **I had already paid him to do.** So Eddie and I did the work of lifting/moving/placing heavy flagstones for the next day and a half. Once the check cleared, Darren came back, looked at the stones, pretended to be surprised at how many there were, and claimed that the job would take a lot more money because he had misunderstood what needed to be done and it would be more work than he’d thought - pouring more concrete, specifically. He claimed that he assumed there were only going to be a few stones in each area, not covering each area. Even though I and his assistant had done a good portion of the work he had been hired to do, his quote to finish the job was an additional 71% of the total I’d already paid him. I had obviously fallen for one of the oldest scams in the book. FTR, at our initial consultation, I had shown him files and sketches of what I wanted done: three areas of my yard covered with sandstone with ground cover/gravel between. Though he later claimed he had no memory of having seen the sketches and files of examples of what I wanted done, he had clearly understood what the job was at the time he took it. His instructions to take his measurements to the building supply company so they could sell me the number of pallets I needed to cover the areas were clearly understood by both myself and the company to mean that the square footage would be for coverage. While I enjoy hard work, I had paid *him* to do the labor. I am certain, however, that he had me and his assistant do the labor of lifting and placing each stone in order that he could pretend to be surprised when he came back the next day to find more stones than he supposedly thought were supposed to go in. It’s my firm belief that everything - the lowball quote, the missing a day of work, making me do his labor for him, etc - was a setup. It wouldn’t be the first time this has happened to a customer, but it’s definitely the last time I’ll ever hire this guy and I highly recommend anyone looking to have stone work done on their property avoid hiring Stonecraft Masonry for anything."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with ZEN Builders, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From the initial consultation to the final touches, the team displayed professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to creating a space that truly reflects my vision. I highly recommend ZEN Builders to anyone looking for quality construction services executed by a team that genuinely cares about their clients and their projects. Thank you, ZEN Builders, for transforming my space and exceeding my expectations!"

"We have worked with other landscaping companies in the past and none of them have surpassed our expectations as GT Remodeling has. I love their team and they have an amazing eye for detail. The work they do is top-notch, and they are very creative."

"Fire victims: Beware of construction company tactics hindering your recovery by delaying project completion & prevent you from obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy that is required to obtain a refinance loan after a fire. Please verify credentials of anyone working on your project is fully licensed with the Contractors State License Board, provide their legal name (not an alias), & operate from a legitimate business address rather than a P.O. box. Avoid contractors who rely on subcontractors, as they may attempt to shift blame. Never take loan or financing advice from them. Insist on written contracts & keep detailed email records of all communications & agreements. Make sure they comply with state & federal laws, especially asbestos. In my case, Joseph Sastiel abandoned my project for the loan to default. Thank GOD I am still in my home to defend myself & my family. Finally, our trial is 12/1/2025. Despite his attorney?s threats to appeal, I look forward to seeking justice."

"Needed a new roof and relied on Angie's list. Ocean Seven Builders always came out on top and now I know why. Could not have been easier. No high pressure. Just the facts presented so we could make our own decision. Scheduling was fine, always kept us in the loop. Crew was professional, careful not to damage anything like plants, etc. and cleaned up after themselves after each work day. Love our new roof. Very happy with their service. Highly recommend Ocean Seven Builders."

"I’m reluctantly writing this review. Joe and his team installed a fence on our residential property not quite four years ago at a cost of $30,000.00. I was initially disappointed with the planning and execution of the fence. The staggering of the panels on the property grade was erratic and haphazard. The height of the fence along the grade varies significantly from panel to panel. Over time, parts of the fence have come loose and have fallen off. The fence currently leans and panels are skewed. One portion of the fence, about four panels, was so significantly compromised I asked Joe to look into repairing it, he responded that repair would cost $2,000.00. I declined having him do the repair. Joe is a nice guy and responsive. And as I mentioned, I reluctantly write this, but I do want to warn any future customers of Joe that you may not be pleased with the work."

"They did a wonderful job. They were very professional and got the job done right away. They were quiet and had a really good customer service. We would recommend them to anyone."

"Baron Brothers has a large selection of outdoor plants on an impressive acreage of land. The property is so large it took me a while to even find their office. Their plants are well maintained and their staff was very knowledgeable. I will be purchasing more from them in the future."
