Description of Work: David and crew removed our old concrete patio and installed a brick paver patio. We were extremely pleased with the results. We interviewed three firms and based our selection on price, creativity, and someone we felt comfortable working with. David listened carefully to what we wanted and came with designs printed out and alternative suggestions. We were impressed with his interest in our project and his creative ideas while still keeping the price comparable to others. We would highly recommend him!

They are really professional. They are friendly. Actually they are quote number two and I chose another company because these people did not have all the services that I needed. I would have chosen them if they had all the services that I wanted. The owner seems to be a really knowledgeable person. I will use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from Strictly Stone Inc. I did not use their services. They came out in March or April to give me the estimate for a patio.

David Arroyo came out and asked about our plans for patio. How we would be using it etc. He came back with a plan and then we adjusted it slightly and he then came with another plan.
Description of Work: Received a professional estimate from the owner of Strictly Stone, David Arroyo. Wish I could have done business with him but could not afford at time.

We absolutely loved David from the moment we met him. We were so unsure of what we wanted him to do but he listened to our ideas and ran with the challenge! He came up with awesome ideas that he computerized so we could see his vision of our project. We asked David lots of questions, tweaked a few ideas to suit us and hired his crew. What a group of guys! They were so precise all of the time. If they didn't like how a brick looked, out it came and another one went in. A flaw did not go unnoticed and their cutting was done perfectly. Every day the guys cleaned up after themselves (even swept) and were always super polite. All of the concrete and other debris was hauled away by the crew daily. I really missed them when they left as it felt like they were part of the family. Our "patio" project became a reality for us that we never dreamed could come true. We interviewed two other companies and knew David and Strictly Stone was the best option for us. We would hire them again in a heartbeat and have recommended them to everyone we know. The city inspector even took down the company name and number so he could pass their information along to people wanting stone work done!
Description of Work: Remove asphalt driveway, concrete sidewalk to the house, and a small patio near the front of the house and replace with unilock brick pavers. Also add a sidewalk from the front of the house to the rear patio, replace the rear deck and cobblestone patio, build 4 sets of steps at the 4 sliding glass doors and build short walls around 2 flower beds in the back of the house to tie in with the patio, also with the brick pavers.

The feelings are mutual. It was also a pleasure to work for you. Thank you for your kind report about my company. My guys loved how you treated them, and I greatly appreciate that. ABOUT THE WET SAW You project was done late in the year (not sure if it was the last one). I agree the dust when cutting is bad, but when the water dries and stains the brick it is hard to clean since it is was so cold. I do appreciate the advise, Good Luck and many thanks!

From the beginning, David was interested in making sure we had exactly what we wanted. Initially, we wanted to re-use as much of the old stone as possible. Halfway through the project though, we realized that would be "penny wise but pound foolish". David and his crew were always willing to do anything to make us happy. His "we can do that" attitude made the whole process a pleasure. The crew was extremely professional, timely, and always cleaned up and protected the work site between visits. Communication about the work schedule was also excellent. The best thing about the crew that we loved, was their pride in the high quality of their work. If they thought of an improvement, a suggestion was made. We could decide, but without any pressure or sales tactics. Instead of a patio, we now have a gorgeous outdoor living area that we fondly refer to as the Terrace. I can't recommend them enough!
Description of Work: Replaced and redesigned backyard patio that was deteriorating due to bad workmanship (it was only 7 years old). The space consisted of an upper patio with grill, a lower patio and a nearby campfire pit. Lower patio had poor drainage and was constantly soggy and mossy. Stairs were steep, bulky and unsightly. New design integrated all three spaces in a cohesive, useful multi-function space. The campfire pit was moved and a large gas fire pit was added with seating for 8. Low voltage lighting was added and drainage was corrected.
