What San Diego Homeowners Say About Us
” needed a retaining wall between me and my neighbor’s property that was about 6′ X 150′ long. I had four companies bid on the project. Install-It-Directs proposal was far superior to the rest. The gentleman that came to my home took detailed measurements and answered all my questions, he did not try to upgrade the project into something I didn’t want. He came back about a week later with three plans that were very detailed with exactly what I asked for. We set a start date and the project manager and crew were there at 9am sharp to start work. Threw out the project the crew was always there on time and the project manager always let me know what were the expectations for the day. The manager and I talked multiple time daily and if I had any concerns they were always taken care of. He was not only very technically skilled individual but a good diplomat working with my neighbor who was very reluctant to have the wall built at all. In closing I would highly recommend this company.”

“We had Install-It-Direct design and install a retaining wall for a sloped portion of our yard. They provided lots of advice and options for getting the look we wanted at a good price. Patrick and Antonio’s team were able to bring the vision to life in less than a week. The final installation was done with high quality workmanship and has increased the value of our home. We highly recommend their services and look forward to the next project with them.”

“We needed a retaining wall about 100ft long built behind our house. We also wanted to upgrade our driveway to pavers from the old concrete driveway that had cracks everywhere. We had bids from four different professionals. Dustin from Install It Direct was by far the best in terms of details for the bid, communication, and timing for start of project. Their quote was average. But we felt at ease knowing we where in good hands. The project went on schedule despite rainy day interruptions. Everything was done to our liking. We really appreciated the responsiveness. Also, the follow up from Ron was great. We were so happy with the outcome, we referred our neighbor who also had Install It complete some major work at their house.”
