Reviews of local pros in Glendale, California

We have an old, tall stone retaining wall built in the late 1920's which was cracking and shifting. DiBara came out, walked me through what needed to be done, gave me a few options. They came out a few weeks later and did the job and it looks great. Everyone I interacted with at this company was attentive and polite. Recommended you consider them for any work like this.

Dibara Masonry did a great job replacing a retaining wall that had fallen over. The whole process was seamless and easy. I will not hesitate to use them again. They gave me a couple options to repair it and explained everything thoroughly. I am confident that this retaining wall is not going anywhere.

Before her death, my wife had the front driveway redone. The contractor substituted sandstone for flagstone. In a short period of time, the sandstone was breaking up and the concrete was coming out posing a tripping hazard. My daughter called DiBara Masonry because of all the good reviews. I was given a reasonable price and signed the contract. When the house was built, flagstone was used for the front porch steps, the planters, and the front of the garage. DiBara took the time to pick out stones that matched the existing work. All in all, a great job!

I can happily and unconditionally recommend DiBara for any cement or bricklaying. DiBara's crew were some of the most professional, efficient, and skilled contractors I have worked with in the long three years of our home renovation. They arrived quickly, listened to my needs and reviewed my design sketches, and quoted a very fair price. I hired DiBara to build a brick fireplace to my exact design layout, they poured and textured a pony wall in my terraced hillside that exactly matched prior hardscape work, and they repaired and reinforced a massive crack in my poured cement garage wall. All their work is extremely durable and aesthetically pleasing, and they didn't hesitate to make adjustments when I had notes. I'm looking forward to hiring them for the last bit of cement work on my garage renovation soon.

I needed to repair a crack in my driveway block wall as well as lay down some concrete in my driveway. My experience with DiBara Masonry was excellent from the initial call, to the in home estimate, as well as signing the contract thru the online portal (which also accepts payments). Fredy, Jessie, Darwin, Francisco, Miriam and the rest of the team were all on-time everyday, professional, experienced, and very skilled. The team has pride in the quality of their work— that resonated with me to the extent that I doubled the scope of the Project (demolished an old stucco wood based wall and replaced it with a 7 foot block wall). DiBara sent more manpower when it was needed, and the team cleaned up so well after alot of demolition debris. Even after my final invoice payment — I needed them to repair a small leak in a water line that needed to be moved. Fredy accommodated this request without any hesitation. I HIGHLY recommend DiBara masonry for any services that they provide. Over the past 20 years, I’ve dealt with at least 10-15 contractors for various projects, and DiBara Masonry is at the top of the list of Contractors with whom I’m most satisfied. Thank you Dibara!

Quick update January 2026: I used Dibara once more to repair alot of stucco and weatherproof damage on my detached garage, as well as laid new concrete and tiles that nearly matched my 20 year old courtyard tiles— they were prompt, professional, and patient as they searched for several weeks to find tiles that matched my old ones. I would gladly use their services again for any project, in their words, “we can build anything outside of your house”. Thanks again Dibara!

We loved working with DiBara on our project. Work was delivered on-time with courtesy and professionalism.
We installed steps in our front yard. It was not a small job (for us), being on a hill, and, in addition to the masonry, included installing custom railing and adding low voltage lighting. Communication with our project rep, Chayan, was smooth and timely. He coordinated subs (Roberto the electrician was also awesome) and kept us informed. Our on-site project manager, Carlos, and his team were great. We worked cooperatively on the design, and Carlos came up with a better result than we could have imagined, and consistently kept in mind the goal of the project (give my elderly dad a way to get from the street to the house safely) We added to the scope of work mid-way through, and DiBara handled it all with professionalism. We recommend them wholeheartedly.

We have a block fence that was built in the 1940s. A significant crack developed requiring repairs. Matt DiBara came to give us an estimate. He performed a thorough walkthrough with me, described how the crack developed and how he would fix it. Because the fence materials are so old, identical blocks are no longer made. Matt found blocks that are a close match and cut them to the same length as original. He matched the original grout, and the finished product is barely noticeable from the original. Great work at a fair price.

I called DiBara Masonry after a vehicle had struck my wall, severely damaging it. They came out, gave me a very detailed proposal for my insurance and took care of the repair in a clean and timely manner. They were able to match the existing stucco perfectly. When I found a few issues with the paint after the job was completed, the DiBara crew stood by their work and came back out to correct the problem. This is my second time using these professionals and I will continue to use them for any further projects on my home.

DiBara team deserves a 5-star plus plus for the work that they wall that they repaired for us. I have worked with various contractors over the past 30 years, but this is the first time that the process was smooth, on budget, on time and the outcome exceeded my expectations.

Our wall was damaged via a car accident driven by our neighbor (please see before and after pictures attached).

Early in the process, Renee was quick to provide a high level quote via a zoom call. Then Edgar came to my house to observe the damage and provided a detailed quote. There was a cap on how much the insurance company was paying so Edgar worked with his team to give us additional discounts in order to reduce the amount of money our neighbor would have to pay out of pockets. Their prices were lower than two other companies so the $97 inspection fee was credited.

The construction team included Chayan, Francisco, Leo, Gabrino, Joe , Fernando and Juan, and they all were professional, meticulous, courteous and operated safety. Francisco, Edgar and Chayan accommodated the higher quality bricks that we chose without nickel and dime us and our neighbor. The team communicated progress well and cleaned up the area at the end of each day.

I feel this company is ethical, provides superior work and services to its customers at lower prices. I definitely will use DiBara Masonry again and will be referring this company to others.

Thank you DiBara team!!

Affordable and informative.

Bill McKinley is an EXPERT ARBORIST like no other! He is a rarity in the industry and his work is impeccable, thorough and the reports he and his team prepare are second-to-none! If you need an expert arborist, don't waste time searching.... You've found him and his name is BILL McKINLEY!!!

Knowledgeable and experienced. The Arborist, William McKinley, takes his time to fully evaluate the condition of a diseased tree and puts together a professional report to apply to the City for a permit to remove. Highly recommended and will use again!

Extremely unprofessional and unreliable. He always claims to be “backlogged” or “too busy,” but in reality, he simply doesn’t follow through. Communication is nonexistent, deadlines are missed, and he ignores key city requirements. Not someone you want to rely on for any serious project. Bottom line not a person you want to deal with in your construction.

I had an excellent experience with McKinley Arborists. From the initial consultation he was very professional and easy to work with. Expert on city codes, worked for the city for over 20 years.

We recently worked with McKinley Arborists and were extremely impressed. We needed a detailed arborist report and tree assessment as part of a development process, and their team was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough from start to finish. They took the time to carefully inspect the trees, clearly explain their findings, and provide a comprehensive report that gave us total confidence moving forward.
Would definitely recommend them.
Thank you!

Greencraft Tree in Glendale, CA offered excellent service when we needed tree trimming. David handled everything with care and professionalism.

Greencraft Tree provided excellent tree trimming service. David handled everything professionally and made sure the results were clean and well-finished. Great tree service in Glendale, CA.

Greencraft Tree did an amazing job improving our yard. David and his crew were professional and thorough. Greencraft Tree delivers great results.

Greencraft Tree is an exceptional tree care company and I am so glad I found them. I needed several trees on my property shaped and thinned ahead of fire season and Greencraft did an amazing job. They understand the specific concerns of homeowners in Southern California when it comes to fire-resistant landscaping and tree management, and they approached the project with that expertise clearly in mind. The crew was professional, careful, and thorough. The trees look great and I feel much better about fire safety heading into the dry months. They cleaned up every bit of debris before leaving, which given the volume of material removed was no small task. Pricing was fair and the customer service was excellent. Greencraft Tree is my go-to in Glendale from here on out.

Did our palm trees, very happy!

I highly recommend this company. More than fair on price!!
