"I’m always happy to give good reviews and say “this is the guy you want.” Demolition was done in an organized way and cleaned up before leaving for the day and most importantly, the finished job is done right and looks great — they are skilled. Joe has decades of experience and has trained his guys very well — they are focused and hard working so they are pretty impressive. Two examples: When the guys dig, they don’t toss the dirt like wild monkeys, they place it as calmly as possible to prevent excessive dust from flying around. That’s the way it should always be done. When they unloaded a pile of sand in my driveway, they didn’t pour it on the cement as most do, they laid down a plastic sheet first and then wrapped that around the pile overnight so the sand couldn’t blow all over the place. And when a little bit of sand falls from the shovel onto the cement, they sweep it up. They are not lazy! And an example of how good Joe is: One of the things he did for me was to put in a drain pipe with a pump. After he installed the pump, he knocked on my door to ask me if I wanted the paperwork that came with the pump or to just leave it in the garage. Workers will usually either just leave any paperwork outside or even just throw it away. Joe took the time to ask me what I preferred before he left for the day. Being respectful and helpful is being smart. It’s so wonderful when you find quality people. They work from 7:30 to 3:30 and play music sometimes but are not talkative to one another. If you want a great painting company, hire Larry Bisordi or Esteban Nunez Casillas. If you want a great masonry company, hire Joe Messineo."

"Paramount Pavers and Construction installed new flagstone granite at the entry of my house. The work entailed demolition of the existing and installation of new granite pavers on walkway and porch. The work was performed in a timely manner and the agreed-upon price. During construction, they kept the site clean and free of excess debris. I recommend this company for your flagstone granite needs. In addition, they installed new concrete at my neighbors property, and the finish of the concrete work was outstanding. The workers were courteous and respectful of me as well as my neighbors."

"Concrete pad was great - very satisfied with the result"

"Our front yard needed some structure. Gadi helped design and build two entry pillars in stone masonry, plus a new walkway to the door. The old path was narrow and cracked, and the new one is wide and fits the property better. The pillars gave us a real entrance feel. They also ran low-voltage lights inside the pillars so they light-up at night. It's not flashy, just clean and sharp. The stone matches the front steps, and everything feels like it belongs now. Gadi and his crew kept things simple and stuck to our request. Would work with them again."

"Encore builders did a fantastic job transforming an ugly hillside into a terraced wonderland of gorgeous flowering plants. Brandon was so professional and knowledgeable and continually came by to monitor progress on this large project. He continually conferred with his fabulous crew who worked diligently and meticulously to make this now glorious hillside a master class in expert masonry and engineering. Bravo Encore Builders. A truly Five Star experience."

"Jose was responsive and his quote was inline with other bids I received. He has years of experience and was knowledgeable about the job requirements and incorporating my ideas. He was punctual, polite and professional. They cleaned up everything nicely. I would definitely use Jose again for any masonry, flagstone or brick needs."

"Mauricio is a true professional and a master at his craft. Our outdoor kitchen is so beautiful and functional. He also did all our concrete and pavers which where done to perfection."

"Jose and his crew were excellent in preparing and executing my landscaping project for both the front and rear yard. They completed the project within three days that for other contractors would have needed additional time. I was so happy with their work that I requested Jose assistance on another house project. The crew was very polite and provide good information on how to properly maintain the various plants, ground cover and grass that was installed. I would strongly recommend this landscaping contractor."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Just Stamping Concrete for a landscape design project, and I cannot recommend them enough! They are a true gem in the industry, and their work speaks for itself."

"After we agreed on the estimate and the plan they quickly contacted me with dates, and were able, in the end, to start a few days earlier than planned. The work was done by two teams, one for demolition and the second for laying gravel, then sand, then the pavers. Each team was professional and efficient; clearly, they are used to doing exactly these sorts of jobs, and everyone knew how to work independently and together. I was impressed with their focus and skill, and their attention to detail. They kept cleaning up as they worked, so there was no mess to deal with during or after the job [although, of course, breaking and removing concrete is noisy and leaves dust]. They were able to move my many potted plants and furniture to the side and back of the house, without damage, and then to return things to their place at the end. When the concrete demo damaged some tiles on the steps, they were able to replace them without trouble [fortunately, I had extra tiles that matched the ones damaged]. The job was done efficiently and faster than I imagined -- demo was one day, and the installation -- including a day at the end to let the sealer dry -- took about a week. The final result was exactly what I hoped, and I am enjoying it immensely every day."
