The crew showed up when they said they would, kept the site clean at the end of every day, and treated our home with respect. The quality of the finish work speaks for itself. When something needed to change mid project, they communicated immediately instead of burying it.The front went from forgettable to the nicest looking on the street, and the backyard is now the space we spend most of our time in. Hardscape, and finish work were all executed with real care.If you are looking for a contractor who does what he says, stands behind the work, and actually cares how it turns out, Shimon is the one. I would hire them again without hesitation !

Rom and Shimon were just amazing to work with, project results speak for themselves, but even during the process they spent more time than I ever would have expected getting quotes for different possibilities and working through the price to make sure every detail was accounted for. Even as they were working they walked us through every step and were able to adjust when needed which we really appreciated!The built us some very complex floating steps along with re-paving our driveway and adding cement pavers around the entire house. Also installed lights on the stairs and walkway!Absolutely can't recommend them enough, you will not be disappointed!!

Shimon was wonderful to work with and always willing to do the job with the best quality. The crew was very respectful of us and worked hard to get the job done. The quality of our 100ft retaining wall was perfect.

Steve, it was a pleasure working with you and Chris on your retaining wall and front yard project. Thank you for trusting us with your home. We truly appreciate the opportunity and look forward to working with you again on any future projects. Wishing you both all the best!

Shimon was wonderful. We asked him to give us a quote for a small project on our property. When he came to the house he took time to really listen and evaluate our needs. Ultimately, we did not use his services because he convinced us to go in a different direction. He is one of those rare people that really wants to find a solution that works best for his clients. We will definitely be calling Shimon for future projects.

We have an investment property in San Diego, and working with Leon Design & Build was a great experience. Shimon was honest, professional, and always easy to reach. He kept us updated throughout the entire project and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. Its hard to find someone this trustworthy these days. I highly recommend Shimon and his entire team!
