Orange County Block Wall

It’s very hard to get a hold of anyone here. Called about a month ago and sent an email and never heard from anyone and today decided to give them another shot. Called this morning and left a message. The owner called at 7pm and said they don’t work in La Habra even though it’s in Orange County and on there website it shows they work in La Habra. Kinda glad I didn’t hire them now

If you need a block wall, retaining wall, brick wall, anything that has «wall» remotely in the word, you call Dan. I only wish Dan fixed and built other stuff too because anyone out there that has dealt with a contractor knows the long list of shortcomings to be expected. But Dan isn’t your typical contractor.

I won’t bore you with the details but we had a semi difficult project. 190 linear feet of hillside footing and split face block wall for our glass fence. We had 18 contractors come bid the job. Trust me, it’s not because we were picky. 70% of them thought they were God’s gift to structural engineering and didn’t really want to listen to what we wanted. The other 30% thought the cost of the job should cover a new BMW for their wives. We never had those problems with Dan. He did what WE asked of him and he was always quick to resolve any problems that came up. And his price was so reasonable that I was worried that I might be getting what I paid for, in a not-​so-​good way… but that was far from the truth. The final product and experience was worth so much more than what we paid.

I highly recommend OCBW!
We had numerous estmates for about 200 feet of block wall on a property line Being a large job, we wanted to make the right call and we sure did with OCBW. I’ll try to be as brief as possible…
— Dan came out on time gave us a fair estimate with all of the details spelled out perfectly on his proposal. Very professional and a nice guy.
— The removal of an old fence was done, trenches dug, slabs laid, material delivered, workers showed up every day on time until the job was completed. Clean up was done nicely as well.
— Dan was great communicating everything to us and gave us updates as needed. He was ALWAYS available whenever we called or texted. He was also at our home everyday to check on the progress and deal with the city and neighbors.
— We did have a neighbor that was very hesitant and kind of tought to deal with. Again, Dan handled everything and handled all of the questions and «what if’s» that were thrown his way. It made it much easier for us.
With such a large job and the issues that can and did arise, Dan was there anytime we had an issue and handled everything. We couldn’t have been luckier to have such a great company to this job. Everything worked out awesome. I can’t say enough good things about OCBW.
Thanks to OCBW, Dan and the team.

First appointment I had he called at the appt time said he was running late, then called 45 minutes later and cancelled. Waited 10 days for him to reschedule and had to track him down. New appointment set. He does show up on time. I have probably 170+ feet of block wall to have done. He said I would have his quote within a day. It’s been over 2 weeks and nothing. No quote, no followup.

My husband and I highly recommend OC Block Wall. We wanted to replace a rotting wooden fence with a slump stone block (to match a slump stone wall on the other side of the property). Dan came out, walked me through the process, took measurements, and listened to my concerns. We had a privacy issue with the house next door, and Dan assured me that the wall could be built such that we would eliminate that problem. We also wanted to pour a concrete slab down the side of the house after the wall was up, as there was only dirt there before. Dan made a couple of esthetic suggestions, and I liked what he suggested.
The estimate came in immediately, and it was priced competitively. We talked to 3 other block wall installers, and not one of them impressed us like Dan did.
The job was completed on time, on budget, and the crew did a great job with the cleanup. The wall and the cement slab look great, and done just like we discussed. He even came back after the cleanup to make sure that it had been done to our satisfaction.
We highly recommend Dan and Orange County Block Wall – you will get quality work done professionally and most pleasantly.

In 2015, when you can make a deal with a handshake, your contractor comes in on budget, on time, and sends out professional, wonderful people, a 5 Star Review is absolutely deserved. Quit looking at the Million reviews online, close your Google Chrome, and hire Dan and Orange County Block Wall for all of your outside hardscape needs. I am so thankful that we found Dan and his team.

My home faces a hillside. To enhance erosion control, I contacted several general contractors for proposals to add additional bricks to the retaining wall. The bids came in anywhere from $ 6K to nearly $ 18K. After reading Dan’s reviews, I contacted him, as an expert in block wall construction. When Dan arrived (right on time), I began my spiel about what I thought was needed. Dan listened politely and then told me that, «You really don’t need to add the layer of bricks.» Oh? What about the estimated $ 6−18K? Dan told me that if I wanted added erosion control, what I needed was to be sure the community landscapers cleaned out the swale at least twice of month during the winter, spring, and fall, and maybe only once a month in the summer. Filling in the bare spaces on the hillside with added landscaping was also important. Further, Dan told me what to look for to detect problems with the retaining wall – water blotches on the wall, a pattern of cracks, moss on the sidewalk in from of the wall. I asked Dan to send a bill for his consultation and he replied, «No, this is what I do and there is no charge.“In the past, I have overpaid for shoddy work and here is an expert telling me I don’t need his services and there is no charge? Sadly, that level of integrity is now amazing to find. Of course, if I ever need a retaining wall or any block wall constructed or repair, Orange County Block Wall is the only company I would trust and call.

OC Block Wall is the company to use if you need any concrete or masonry work. The owner of the company, Dan, is incredibly knowledgeable and has great ideas. He envisions beautiful work. The crew is awesome. They work very hard and are masters at brick work. They are great. We have used them for 2 different jobs and both turned about gorgeous. I highly recommend OC Block Wall.

After the earthquake knocked over a section of my wall. Orange County Block wall came out and quickly reinstalled it stronger and better than the original was. Very professional and well worth the money.
