"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."

"We have an investment property that needed some hardscape repairs to make it safe for our tenants. Mike was fabulous. He came when he said he would, gave a fair estimate, stuck to the estimate, had fantastic guys who were quick, clean and friendly and we were pleased with the final result. He even talked me out of some repairs I thought were necessary but that he said wouldn't be worth the money, and he offered other solutions that I liked better (and were cheaper). Mike was easy to work with and was responsive both before and during the project. When I decided midway through constructing the fence that I actually wanted it moved 3 more inches (not his fault, just my preference after I saw it going in), Mike handled the news with professionalism and a can-do attitude. We agreed to a small change order (cost adjustment) which basically was just the laborer's time to repour the fence foundations, and nobody complained about the extra time and energy it took to move the fence. The job was done in 2 days, just like Mike said it would be. I would definitely hire him again - and I have!"

"Second time I used this company. When I wanted to have foundation work done I knew this was the company I wanted to use. They repaired and retrofitted my mother’s foundation and everything went well. Had to reschedule once but arrived on time each day and cleaned up after the days work. Passed inspection. Very happy with this company. Thanks again."

"I hired Alpha Structural to earthquake brace and bolt my 1924 bungalow. The project took two days. The team was fantastic, starting with Project Mgr, Aldo. All the guys respected my property and left so clean you can't they were here. I highly recommend Alpha Structural for any foundation work you may need"

"We recently worked with Encore Builders on a stunning backyard project that included a new rectangular pool, a sleek fire pit, and a custom barbecue area. The entire design feels like something straight out of a luxury boutique hotel. From the initial 3D design to the final touches, Encore Builders crafted an elegant and functional space that we couldnâ t be happier with. From the start, we envisioned a chic, modern look for our outdoor space, and Encore Builders nailed it with the clean, sophisticated design. Brandon and oz immediately understood my vision and I could tell they were strand up guys. I shopped around but it was a no brainer the second I met them. We instantly hit it off and I could tell they were knowledgeable. I saw their other jobs and was impressed right away. I showed them some inspo pics of what I wanted. Eventually, both the pool and fire pit were designed with sharp, rectangular shapes that give the space a sleek, upscale vibe. The straight lines of the pool and fire pit complement each other beautifully, creating a sense of balance and cohesion that ties the entire backyard together. The choice of materials and the high-end finishes truly make it feel like weâ re stepping into a private boutique resort every time we go outside. Every part of this project was carefully crafted- even the firepit. Positioned near the pool, it mirrors the chic simplicity of the poolâ s design, creating a sense of harmony across the space. The sleek, linear fire pit is made with modern stone materials that give it a luxurious feel while remaining durable and weather-resistant. The upscale design of the fire pit, with its clean lines and contemporary look, makes it the perfect centerpiece for evening gatherings. The 3D Design Process: A Vision Realized Encore Buildersâ 3D design process was a crucial part of the project. Being able to visualize how the pool, fire pit, and seating area would look together in a cohesive design allowed us to make informed decisions. It was during this phase that we finalized the size and placement of the rectangular fire pit in relation to the pool, ensuring the two elements worked together harmoniously. Seeing the 3D model helped us feel confident in our choices, especially with the bench design, where we could visualize how the warm wood would complement the sleek stone materials. The final result is exactly what we saw in the 3D design â and even more beautiful in person In addition to the pool and fire pit, Encore Builders created a custom barbecue area that matches the chic aesthetic of the rest of the space. The built-in grill, spacious countertops, and storage make it not only a stylish feature but also incredibly functional for hosting gatherings. As a couple that loves to host this was crucial For us! Encore Builders turned our backyard into a chic, upscale retreat that rivals the look and feel of a boutique hotel. If youâ re looking for a team that can deliver a modern, luxurious outdoor living space with precision and style, Encore Builders is the way to go. We are absolutely in love with the final result and look forward to enjoying our backyard for years to come! Oz and Brandon and the guys at Encore are truly unbeatable!"

"The landscaping and landscapers did a fantastic job. Never was pressured to do more than I wanted. Their ideas suited the needs of what I asked for."

"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."

"We are thrilled by the results! Mike and his crew took out 10 boxes of dirt from a hill in our back yard all manually! They then installed a 50 x 4ft retaining wall (fully permitted) on the hill. After that poured a 60 x 10 concrete deck and steps to our new upper deck that now overlooks the pool. They then covered the new wall and existing lower wall with new custom colored stucco. We have now doubled our backyard space and for the first time in 12 years be proud to show off our backyard!

"Motti was very personable and honest about what he thought would work for our front yard. He seemed to immediately understand our vision, and was able to create the look we wanted. He was also able to easily incorporate the fountain and leftover flagstone that we had already purchased. The work was done well and efficiently, including cleaning deep roots and removal of 2 large trees. The team was helpful within a couple days of the job completion after we realized that the sprinkler system was not working properly. My fear that the plants would die within weeks was unfounded -- only 2 plants died in the middle of the summer heat!"

"I thought he was a wonderful landscaper. I'd like to put in before and after pictures of what he did to our yard. I would highly recommend him. Our garden was dry and overgrown. The back yard had nothing in it.  He worked with me and we came up with a plan. He advised me what plants would work the best as I am not from this area. I showed him some ideas I wanted and we went to look at plants. He was happy to use my ideas.  Sometimes, a landscaper wants to use their own ideas. He was really helpful.  We needed rock work done in areas. He was willing to go with me and talk with people and advise me on this too. They put the patio down and he did the landscaping and rock. It turned out very nice."
