This company doesn't know how to use a wet saw nor have enough professionalism to let neighbors know they will be cutting with a concrete saw making dry dust everywhere.

We recently worked with Master Z Pavers to replace the old, cracked concrete driveway at our new home, and they were incredible! From the initial call with Diana to the meetings and phone conversations with Jose, their service was outstanding. I was initially concerned about taking on such a large project and managing all the details, but Jose and Diana handled everything seamlessly, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I especially appreciated Jose's expertise in dealing with the city, obtaining permits, and ensuring everything was done correctly so we wouldn't face any issues. During our first meeting, it was immediately clear that Jose has decades of experience and is truly a master of his craft. His recommendations were spot-on, and our new driveway looks stunning! After that initial meeting with Master Z Pavers, we knew we wouldn't want to work with anyone else. They also recently completed a driveway for one of our good friends, and it looks just as amazing! I highly recommend working with them if you get the chance, you won't be disappointed with their exceptional craftsmanship! Jose & Diana, thank you to you and your amazing team for all your hardworking!

This company doesn't know how to use a wet saw nor have enough professionalism to let neighbors know they will be cutting with a concrete saw making dry dust everywhere. My $70k truck in my driveway adjacent to a house they worked on was completely full of dust from the block cutting. Called the company to discuss and was advised they cant see there lines so they don't cut wet. My truck, my camper, and my back porch was full of dust, owner of company advised he'd clean my truck. Where they worked they pressure washed the pavers and house they worked at but never came over and washed my truck. Left two messages for the owner, never called back or washed my truck. Lip service at its finest!!

I would highly recommend Master Z Pavers. Everyone was extremely professional and knew what they were doing. We had a driveway paved and a retaining circular wall put in. They did it within their estimate and within a weeks time, starting right away. They also had everything cleaned up when finished. I would highly recommend them. Best experience with contractors that I ever had.
