"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."

"AJB Concrete & Masonry Construction, did an amazing job, it went beyond my expectations to begin with I needed a concrete slab ASAP and Robert immediately started the next day While other places wanting me to wait for days or weeks! My project was done the next day? very professional, attention to details, very neat and clean. I will definitely hire this Company again. I highly recommend Robert at AJB Concrete & Masonry Construction!"

"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!"

"The Foundation Works was one of the contractors that bid for this work. Their initial inspection of the crawl space and the foundation was much more thorough than the other contractor. They also identified an area of the foundation that needed repair and included that work in their original estimate. Due to our travel we had to delay the work for several months after the original inspection and bid. We explained that to them and they had no problem with our scheduling issue. When we finally scheduled the work to be done they were very responsive and scheduled the work to our needs. Once the work began their team worked hard and diligently for both the bolting of the house as well as the repair work. The team finished in 3 days and kept us informed all along the way as to how things we going. Once finished they scheduled the Building Inspector who responded within a week. The Foundation Works foreman was there when the inspector arrived and went over the completed work. Between the finish of the work and the inspection I personally crawled the perimeter of the house and inspected the work and repair to reassure myself and the home owner that everything was completed. It was a dusty slow trip but I was not surprised to find everything in good order and all work satisfactorily completed. I was more than pleased with the quality of the Foundation Works job and their collaboration with us was terrific. I have already recommended them to a friend and wouldn't hesitate to give them as high a rating as I can. This is a well-run business!"

"My project was a 100' long, 7' tall concrete block wall. I met with both owners, not sumultaneously, but separately. Their communication was spot on, they were very friendly and knowledgeable. The work was completed in a very short period of time, the workers were extrememly capable and worked very hard to complete the project. I highly recommend them!"

"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"

"Very happy with job completed. I had a old stone wall between me and my neighbor with a protrusion from an old tree that needed to be corrected. Fix It Masonry was able to do the job exactly how we asked and results look great. Very professional and courteous. And very flexible about schedule despite bad and unpredictable weather. Would definitely hire again in the future!"

"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."

"I just want to say thank you to Jose and his crew in doing a fantastic job installing thin brick veneers in my living room. The end product was great and I could not be happier. Just watching him and the team do the work was really nice to see. Jose really pays attention to the details of the work, he laid out multiple options for me when it came to laying the brick, to the grout design as well as different sealing options. Also he treats your home as if it was his own as his work was very clean and organized. My job was rather unique as I had custom tv mounts and sound bar mounts, he was able to work with the setup nicely and I am grateful for his services. I highly recommend for anybody looking for good quality honest work. Thanks again Johnny ..."
