Extol Construction

Extol Construction was the 3^rd contracting company we started doing business with for a fence and pigeon abatement at our business. The first guy we hired was a dud, the second guy was a cheat and a thief. To say I was skeptical whether Extol would even show up for an estimate is an understatement. I was surprised and pleased to see them arrive on time, do excellent work, spend 2 hours trying to get something to work better and charge a reasonable price. Both Edwin and John were considerate of our customers and their workers were excellent about cleaning up every day. I would call them again in a heartbeat. Totally recommend. Would give them 10 stars if I could.

Last year the backyard was a mess. Edwin created something great and today, a year later, i realized it is holding up so well and felt I should submit a review.
We wanted a functional area that would be low maintenance and still visually appealing. Edwin walked us through many of our ideas and guided us to create something better than we could imagine.
Quality– Everything was done with care and detail. A year later nothing has been an issue– from the automated watering system, to the Ipe deck, to the concrete and pavers,
Care– Edwin took the time to walk us through every decision point and give us an honest assessment. This held true from pouring concrete to choosing plants
Price– I think I have a good estimate on the cost of all the materials and the total number of hours his team put in. He could have charged us more without complaint. We got a deal.
Honesty– We had ideas on things to do that would have meant more money for Edwin. He talked us out of them thinking we would regret it or there were cheaper ways to do things. He was right.
I couldn’t recommend a company and contractor any stronger.

We can’t thank Edwin enough for all of his amazing help in our backyard. We rent our home so didn’t want to spend a ton of money, but we wanted to get our almost completely dead & overgrown lawn back green again & simply clean up the look of the garden as a whole. Edwin not only stayed within our set budget, but did what I thought was impossible & got our grass green again. He also got us felt & wood chips to go around all the edges to level everything out & keep the weeds to a minimum. It’s clean & simple & we get so many compliments on it. Not only that, but he then taught us the best ways to keep it that way ourselves which I loved. When we eventually get our own house, we will use Edwin again for whatever that yard may need!

Edwin did a great job with a relatively small project in our backyard. He cleaned up and improved an existing concrete wall, added a new cap, and re-​graded the soil in the yard. It took a bit of work to schedule (for various reasons), but once we started the work was completed promptly. Thanks!

Edwin and his crew totally transformed our backyard! He helped us achieve the look we wanted and executed it perfectly! We now have a beautiful, modern oasis that we love. They basically gutted our entire yard, made our slanted yard level, installed hard scape with steps, as well as a full automatic sprinkler system, rebuilt our staircase and built an organic planters box for our kids. It was a big job and they finished it on time… even with the many changes and additions we made during the job. His crew showed up everyday, they were on time, respectful and very easy to work with.
In a world where it is difficult to find trustworthy contractors (and we have had our fair share of terrible experiences), Edwin is incredibly rare and can’t recommend him enough.
And as a bonus, he refinished all the marble in our kitchen!

When you’re remodeling, your contractor becomes your new family member, whether you like it or not. You see him everyday, his phone number is on your speed dial. So you better:
1. Trust him
2. Like him
I can without hesitation say that Edwin falls under both these categories for my family. Extol has been redoing my backyard, which looked like a dumping ground for gophers, weeds, and broken cement, and made it an oasis. Their attention to detail is remarkable; you can tell that they pride themselves on their craftsmanship. Edwin even went shopping with me to pick out plants and pavers lending me his experience and advise, while paying close attention to my taste and preferences. I don’t know any contractors who do that!
When I’ve worked with contractors in the past, they’ve been hard to reach, or accessible only via email, which delays decision making which then delays the finished product. Edwin was so response, timely, and there for us every step of the way.
I would recommend Extol in my sleep. No hesitation.

Extol Construction is the crew you need. Whatever you need done will be done on time and professionally, no excuses. Edwin is a hands-​on worker, not an absentee boss.
My wife and I moved into an older home that needed some serious updating. After reading the Unilocal reviews I decided to give Extol Construction a call. Edwin Moriarity came out and provided me a very competitive bid. He and his most excellent crew showed up on time every day until the job was finished.
What started as a rear fence rebuild, became a few other jobs that we needed to have done. Extol Construction additionally took care of a heavy duty landscaping job (removing a rock garden) and a full-​on front exterior brick refinish (not a small job by any means).
We will be using Extol Construction in the future as we finish a basement, add a hot tub and replace all our exterior decking.
Our house is our home and Extol Construction helped us achieve that.

I have nothing but good things to say about Edwin and his crew. I used Edwin to re-​sod my back yard, and he did a super job on all fronts– going above and beyond the call of duty in every area. He arrived on-​time, stayed on budget, and worked late with his team on more than one evening. This was a turnkey job, and it was nice to work with someone who knew what he was doing whom I could trust.
I would definitely recommend Edwin and his team… A+ job!

Edwin and his crew are amazing. They have done two major projects in our backyard and are always a pleasure to work with. Traditionally, I hate dealing with contractors but Edwin is the exception. He delivers quality work at a fair price — he doesn’t stop until things are perfect. We were difficult in that we wanted our hardscaping to be as green as possible for food growth, Edwin really worked with us to create a beautiful setting without the use of harsh chemicals, pressure treated wood, etc. I would recommend him time and time again and will use him for whatever projects I have in the future. (Will post pictures soon)

Edwin changed our backyard from a deserted Sunset District desert into a beautiful multipurpose area. We can now either entertain or spend quiet time in beautiful surroundings. A lit walkway leads from the patio to a separate seating area with a fire pit and to another area with a small pond. He has made our yard an extension of our living space. Edwin is creative, responsible, hard working and takes pride in his work.

Professional. Reliable. Friendly.
Edwin is GREAT to work with. I used Edwin to build a fence and decking for my home in Twin Peaks. The end result was a work-​of-​art. My neighbors and friends all admire the job he did. I highly recommend Edwin.

Moriarty Construction landscaped our Sunset District backyard, transforming a gopher’s paradise to a serene setting with a brick barbecue, trees, a paved walkway, flowers and shrubs. The owner’s eye for detail and ideas made him a joy to work with. There is nothing he can’t do or take on. He is also very trustworthy, which is worth its weight in gold when hiring someone to come into your home. We will continue to call on Moriarty Construction for any renovation or improvement, big or small.
