Mr Rivas and his workers did a good job filling in the retaining wall gaps. They left everything clean and picked up trash. I feel it was A little pricey for the job but needed the repairs done

Thank you to the team at Rivas Rockwall, these are professionals in every way-they rebuilt a very damaged wall that needed demolition with permits, etc, in about a week's time, and repaired our surrounding backyard wall that was falling apart in just about a day. Mr. Rivas and his crew were punctual, and respectful while working on our property, which is very appreciated. They are organized, and provide a reasonable clean-up at the end of each working day, with a full clean-up at the end of the job. All financials are with contracts, and guarantees with signatures on company letterhead. Mr. Rivas provided opportunities for communication through the process and was always available and open to questions. I highly recommend this contractor. Will definitely work with this team again.

WOW! Believe the glowing reviews. Mr. Rivas and his team are punctual, professional and do outstanding work. My rockwall was atrocious and I thought it would take at least a day for the repairs. The team showed up and got the repairs, cleanup and everything done in less than three hours. Very impressed and I will not hesitate to contact them for other work as needed.

Mr. Rivas and his crew did an outstanding job repairing my rockwall. They arrived promptly on the scheduled day and worked steadily until the project was completed and the area cleaned. Mr. Rivas cares about the quality of his work and his craftsmanship. He is one of the few reliable contractor in El Paso and receives my highest recommendation.

Mr. Rivas and his lead painter Joshua came to my house on the weekend to assess the project. On Monday, the crew arrived early morning and worked three days straight. A lot of prep work was involved to included removing nails, caulking, sanding, and masking areas. Two different paint colors were used, one for the walls and the other for the wrought iron. The crew did an excellent job and cleaned everything up upon completion. They were very polite and professional.

They did an awesome job repairing and raising my rock wall around my back yard. Also they expanded my driveway. The bottom slab crack but they immediately repaired it. Looks great....so far awesome work. Only issue would be the residue (concrete spillage) left in the street from their work....neighbors complained to me about it. Little pricey but awesome quality.

The gate was fixed first. That work was good....but it was done by their subcontractor. Regarding the rock walls, we wanted high-quality repair. Some material immediately started to crumble off the repaired areas. Also, white stains started appearing after rain or watering the garden. Patchy-looking areas too. I told him I wanted the walls to look "New". He sure charged enough!!

"Hello and thank you for your review , quick note , everything we do is high quality and comes with a 2 year complete warranty . Please let me know if we need to adjust anything on this project , as a contractor we hire subcontractors for different projects , this is normal in this business , as always our subcontractors must meet high standards of quality . The white pounder look on cement comes from the process of curing and it takes a little while to be cone off , this is also normal when using cement . Please Dont hesitate to call us or provide us with your address so I can personally stop by and provide you with any repairs you feel are needed . Our goal is A plus rating on EVERY project from quality to customer service . Thank you"

At times, it was like 5 people and other times too. They would spend like half a day, they would come up at sunrise just around 7:00, it was still very cold then. They would stay to about 11:30 or so, or 12:00, and it was good because we didn't feel like they were encroaching on our being able to get out and do our stuff.
They did a very fine job and every day they did a certain part of it and a certain part of it and got done very quickly. I was very happy with what they did. I think it was a week or two. They did a very, very fine job and everything was done very well.
I think the price was very fair and right for what he did. We had about 4 or 5 come and give us estimates. It was as much as 10,000 and something dollars was one of them. They went down to like $2,000 or something, $3,000. We were in the middle with them.
They took the rock we had, got the cement off of it and stuff and replaced it again with the rock and they brought some more in. They were an excellent company. I couldn?t speak any higher than what I said about them. They are just very, very good and I would not hesitate to use them again.
They told me when they were going to come and they did have a little bit of a set back with another family they were working with. They were very fair and they let me know ahead of time, so I could call the neighbor to tell them when they were coming. It was very well done and we were very impressed.

Mr Rivas and his guys are all very responsive, polite, punctual and they pay great attention to the details! The painting technician came before 8AM pretty much everyday, and Mr Rivas also stopped by to check up the progress everyday. The price they offer may not be the best, but I did also get a higher quote from another company, so I guess their price is not the highest either. Plus they use Behr premium paint, give 5% discount for Angie's List customer, and do not ask for extra charge when paid with credit card. Definitely will hire them again if there is a need.

Mr. Rivas was completely professional and competitive with his quote. After he had done the repair (which he, himself, performed with another very polite helper), he personally took me around the walls to check that the job met my expectations. It's been five months since the work was done, and in fact, his "super strong," high-quality concrete still looks great. I highly recommend him for rock wall repair or construction.

Mr. Rivas and his crew did an outstanding job in every respect. He thoroughly explained the various options available to us, provided us with several samples for our review, arrived for every appointment on time, and did the work exactly as agreed upon. He is also one of the few contractors who respond quickly to email, and he answers his phone. The contract was straightforward, he provided us with the required up to date insurance and bond information, and he will not accept payment until the job is complete. He works with his crew and does not go off-site. He clearly cares about the quality of his work; he is a craftsman-he does not cut corners.
Of all of the contractors I have worked with in El Paso in the last 20 years, he was the most organized and professional. I will call upon him in the future. He earned our highest recommendation.

I met with Mr. Rivas and went over details of the work I wanted done. We reviewed this again the day the work was done to confirm the details of the job. The crew was very efficient and worked consistently to get the job done in a timely manner. I wanted a smooth finish on the two pads and the finish work was done meticulously and the finish was excellent. I am very pleased with the workmanship and the attention to detail. I found Mr. Rivas and his team to be very accommodating and professional and would definitely recommend to anyone and would certainly hire them again. It is very refreshing to find contractors that still have a solid work ethic. Overall, they use quality materials and did high quality work.
