Kevin M. says, "I hired MG masonry and hardscape to install sod on my front yard. Gil was quick to respond to quoting the job and all follow up questions. He showed up on time and scraped the old grass and prepped the area for the new sod. There was some problems with some of the sod (more of a supplier issue) and he replaced it without issue. I will attach a photo from the day the job was completed. The area was left clean and neat and the sod looks great after a couple of weeks. I will hire again for future projects."See more

Lauren S. says, "Guzman Construction is the best. Really. I have worked with many construction companies over the years. Because I'm a small older female who obviously does not know a lot about construction, I am used to being ripped off by contractors eager to take advantage of my naiveté. Guzman Construction was professional, respectful, outstanding in their work products and perpetually fair in their pricing. I feel, actually, that I got a great deal and at an amazing pace. These guys work fast but NEVER sloppy. They work fast because they know just what they are doing. I am hiring them to build an entire house for me. I have finally found carpenters I can believe in. You should too."See more
