I had a very large backyard living area drawn up professionally and when it came time to call over who I felt were qualified contractors that specialized in big backyard living spaces I was striking out. I had several outdoor contractors come. Some priced it so high I’d swear they were just trying to get rid of me. Others wouldn’t even bother getting back with a quote. Others lead me on to believe they were going to do it just to back out last minute. Much of my time was wasted. I understand to an extent because what I wanted wasn’t going to be easy. It was going to take a lot of work and dedication to get it done properly, which is not the usual small job and move onto the next situation. I contacted Greg with Sunset Construction and encouraged him he could do the job and have my full cooperation to work with him if issues with my plan arise. Greg didn’t try taking advantage of me. Affordable backyard construction was something I thought would be impossible but he quoted me better than fair. Greg was in the back yard nearly every day he sent workers. He literally wasted no time and was blunt with his communications and actions, while still being a total friend. He also put up with my last minute changes. It was about 4-5 days of cement work alone. The outdoor cement stairs turned out beautiful. 5-6 days of masonry work for the seat walls / planter boxes and amazing outdoor bbq kitchen or outdoor bbq island (whatever they are called). The pergolas and patio cover turned out great. Really the pictures speak for themselves. Just look at my backyard. Greg is the first contractor I’ve ever hired that I didn’t need to watch to make sure things were getting done properly. He turned my vision into a reality. It was a blessing to have found him.
