What customers say

Recent reviews praise the workmanship and helpful project guidance; one customer highlights precisely aligned pavers and careful drainage and foundation preparation on a patio and retaining wall. One customer also describes a smooth outdoor-kitchen project. An earlier reviewer reports a 257-day delay, repeated broken promises and no-shows, and concrete sloped enough that furniture could not sit without tipping.

Customer Reviews

Sensuous Bane

West Hills Masonry in Irvine, CA provided exceptional masonry service for our new patio and retaining wall installation. From the initial consultation, their mason took time understanding our vision and budget constraints. They offered practical design recommendations that improved functionality while keeping costs reasonable. The installation work was flawless—the patio surface is perfectly level, pavers are precisely aligned, and the retaining wall is structurally sound. What impressed us most was their attention to proper drainage and foundation preparation ensuring longevity. They explained why certain techniques matter for durability and performance. The team communicated clearly throughout the project, keeping us informed of progress and timeline. Their pricing was competitive and transparent with no surprise charges. They completed everything on schedule without sacrificing quality. I highly recommend them to anyone needing professional masonry work for residential or commercial projects.

If I could give a 10-star review it would be more appropriate! From my very first conversation with Carlos Gonzales, to the final touches on our project, I was amazed at the quality, professionalism, and knowledge of what could be done to make our project shine! Carlos was always there for answers or suggestions to any questions I had, any advice I needed or any changes that I might want. I could not have asked for a better experience or better crews working on our project. Their knowledge and mastery of their craft was always evident. I would recommend them for ANY project you want done exceptionally and right, from start to finish. Our neighbors and strangers passing by have continually stopped by to extend their ‘wows’ and comments on our outcome. I could not be more pleased and grateful for having West Hills Masonry as our partner on this amazing project!

We just got an outdoor kitchen done by West Hills Masonry, and I couldn’t be happier! We wanted something functional but also nice enough to entertain friends and family. They totally nailed it. The built-in grill, fridge, and countertop space are perfect, and the design blends so well with our backyard. The whole process was smooth—they were professional, on time, and really easy to work with. You can tell they care about the details. We’ve already used it a few times, and honestly, it’s become the highlight of our home. Highly recommend them if you’re looking to upgrade your outdoor space!

We’ve always dreamed of having an outdoor kitchen, and West Hills Masonry made that dream a reality! The team helped us design the perfect outdoor space, complete with a custom-built kitchen. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and they turned our backyard into the ultimate hangout spot. We’re beyond happy with their work and would recommend them to anyone.

I’ve been wanting to redo our patio for ages, and after seeing the amazing work West Hills did for our neighbor, I knew I had to give them a call. From the moment we got in touch, their team was responsive and knowledgeable. They took our ideas and gave us valuable suggestions on design and materials that fit our budget. What stood out to me was how clean and organized the crew was during the entire process. You’d barely know they were working, except for the progress that seemed to appear overnight! It’s been about three months since the work was completed, and we’ve already hosted several BBQs. Our friends and family can’t stop talking about how much of a difference the new patio makes. Worth every penny, and we will definitely contact them again for future projects! Thank you

West Hills did my backyard remodel and overall did a great job! I got multiple proposals and West Hills was very competitive, but more importantly the most professional and comprehensive. We did pavers, drainage, retaining walls, and artifical turf. The communication was good throughout the process AND they finished ahead of schedule. I will use them again for my front yard!

I am a first year widow and I am so hurt by the mistreatment given by the West Hills Masonry owner and 1st Project Manager. We started our 2 ½ week project 12/5/16 and they finally finished 9/8/17. It took 257 extra days because they consistently broke promises and failed to show up. We picked them after their fantastic “sales pitch.” We wanted the job done quickly and they promised we could use our hardscape patio before Christmas. They forgot to include 5 drip lines, “mickey-moused” a drip system pillar that doesn’t match the others and does not look like it will last long. They poured cement so sloped that no furniture could be used on it without tipping over. We voiced our concerns prior to the pouring that the ground was not level and they said, “all those things will be taken care of.” What they meant was, they would coerce us into pay thousands more to achieve a usable patio. Basic summary: 1st impression- great, 1st week- fine, then promises were broken, no shows, skill-level poor in several important big areas, forgetful. The “family-owner business” owner was “not in touch” with what’s going on with his customers. He chose not to meet with us when we asked him to come out for the final conversation. The owner made an intimidating statement through email. They flat out lie on their website: “Our award-winning service is your guarantee! Let us prove it… we won’t let you down.” Do not believe them. They personally let me down 70+ times! With a 257-day delay, they might have set a record.
