Brazil Construction

Jake Brazil did an excellent job replacing our old concrete driveway and porch with pavers and stone. He also added a stone veneer to the front of the house. He was very easy to work with and all work was completed as agreed upon. I would highly recommend calling Jake for your stone work.

We waited for many years before replacing our badly cracked driveway. After seeing Jake did such a good job with our neighbor, we decided to retain him to work on ours. Our project involved putting in different stones in many areas around the house. Jake helped us select all the matching materials. The project started on time and was closely managed by him. Jake made sure each phase completed in a timely manner and design plans were followed. The result is a beautiful blue stone patio surrounded by retaining walls and massive driveway with neat looking borders. Jake has a keen eye on the esthetics and he made sure his work is done right. We are very pleased with the outcome.

We hired Jake to set pavers in our new home patio at the Dunes home development in Marina, Ca. His crew did an excellent job in a timely fashion and followed through with minor touch ups needed. I was very pleased with his work. I recommend him without reservation! Jose

We hired Jake Brazil for two projects at our Palo Alto home. He created a beautiful driveway of antiqued paver stones. What a huge difference from our old cracked cement! The pavers are done in a pattern and color that complements the outside of our home. Jake also installed a new patio cover of macrolux twin wall polycarbonate outside our living room. His work was excellent and done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Jake for your construction needs.

Brazil Construction come on a very high recommendation from me after they have just completed out driveway project. There service and workmanship cannot be faulted. Jake arrived when he said he would to give a quote. He was very thorough in his estimate, he was very clear in explaining exactly how Brazil Construction paves driveways and had a very competitive price. They were also highly recommended by the paving vendor (he had done much of their work) and another neighbor on Nextdoor. The project was completed in a timely manner, on time. The quality of the work was outstanding. I have an eye for detail and I cannot fault their work. The team that did the driveway were always very clean and tidy, leaving no mess at the end of the day or project. Highly recommended!

Brazil Construction built a 100-foot stone retaining wall in my backyard. The wall was constructed of concrete block, faced with natural stone veneer, and topped with granite capstones. Jake provided advice and assistance throughout the planning and construction process. He helped with the selection of veneer and capstones; he provided excellent, workable solutions when questions arose; and he provided a crew who were competent, punctual, neat, and polite. His estimate was competitive with all other proposals I received. The project was finished as specified, on budget, and on time. I highly recommend Jake and his crew. Working with them was a pleasure, and the finished wall is beautiful.

Jake is awesome. He gave several suggestions on how to improve upon the front yard project. His recommendations saved us money and importantly led to better designed front yard with bricks that what we had envisioned. He got the job done promptly and within his estimate. Would work with him again in a heart beat.

Jake was a professional throughout the bidding and selection process for the installation of our new driveway. We knew we wanted pavers and Jake was able to provide samples in a timely manner. His bid was fair and we felt comfortable with his knowledge of the process and estimate of the amount of time for the project. Jake has a crew of very professional and clean workers. They made sure that each night the site was clean, tools put away, and respectful of the neighbors. The installation went smoothly and we were able to make minor adjustments in the plan as the project proceeded. We are very happy with the project and will use Jake again if the need arises and would recommend him highly.

Jake Brazil presented a complete and detail quote/proposal for our front yard project. Although not the lowest bidder, I felt comfortable awarding him the project based on the neighbor's project I had seen completed, and his style of communicating and working. He brought the project in on time, on cost, and made sure we were satisfied with the completed work. This caused him to have his crew out to the site a few times after completion to fix, repair or tweak the final look and feel of the project. In addition to the professional approach to the hardscape project, Jake was communicative and a pleasure to work with. He provide suggestions and brainstormed with us to come up with solutions to the scope of the project. I would highly recommend Brazil Construction for any hardscape project.

Services performed related to building Guest House in back yard: 1) demolition of existing structures; 2) masonry work on new structure, adjoining patio and pool deck. 3) extension of driveway. Brazil's pricing was good as were the references. Brazil bought the wrong material for part of the job and replaced it with no issues. Brazil recommended a less expensive solution for the driveway extension than what they quoted which we used and are pleased with. The pool deck work took longer than planned which was not a problem for us but likely made it less profitable for Brazil. No issues raised. The work quality is good as expected. Brazil worked well with other contractors. We are pleased and plan to use Brazil for drought tolerant landscaping.

Jake and his crew did some stone work for my dad a few years ago. I like it so much, I wanted some more work done. The work included: Virginia ledgestone on a wall inside, new concrete entry stairs covered in ledgestone, and a new fire pit also finished in ledgestone. I did the drawings for the stairs. Jake took the time to sit with me and go through exactly what I wanted. He then made sure his crew knew exactly what I wanted and frequently checked in with me to make sure it was coming along the way I wanted.. The results are stunning. Fantastic work. He was always there to check on the project and was happy to go above and beyond to help me. Great work, very reasonable cost. I will definitely hire him again for future work when I am ready. Thank you Jake!

A professional organization and quality workmanship. Brazil Construction performed the following work 1. Cement with rebar at the front and rear entrances to the house. 2. Flagstone on the front face of the house and front entrance. 3. Built up the the main driveway. The work was very detailed and done with great care. They worked with us in choosing the best flagstone that matched the colors of our house. The work was done on time, in budget and they were great to work with. I would recommend them and will use them again on another house I am building.
