    OH BOY, STUCCO BOY!…read more I met with Jereme (the owner of Stucco Boy/Builder Boy) to discuss an exterior refinishing project. We've got some TEX-COTE that the prior owners added that is failing and in need of repair. To their credit, Jereme is knowledgeable about TEX-COTE and the company even has a landing page on their website describing how to fix a failing application. They offer services to repair and re-apply, and Jereme mentioned this would be an option for us, in addition to a more involved re-plastering. Jereme said he'd break out different options for us. Despite Jereme's demeanor coming off a bit slick and salesy, them being a local company with experience with TEX-COTE gave me some confidence. I received a proposal that I felt was reasonably priced. Before selecting the company for my project, I had some follow-up questions I asked the office staff via email regarding coordinating the project with other work being done-namely a re-roof project that I'd be undertaking. After a little back-and-forth, Jereme called me directly. I was able to ask my questions about coordination with the roofing company, and he put my mind at ease. He described how the roofing company would handle tear-off and paper the roof, and then Stucco Boy would come in and water blast and prep. He was pretty specific about his recommendations and that fully addressed my questions. He said that I'd be able to put them into contact with the roofer to work out the specifics and "when roofing companies hear that, they are relieved"-indicating to me that there'd be a proactive direct coordination that would help streamline the process. WONDERFUL! After receiving HOA approval for the project, I reached out to Builder Boy and said I'd like to proceed with them. I followed up with a few questions including one about timing and order of operations to coordinate with the roofing and solar to take place (roughly, at this point) in January. The responses I got from the office staff to my questions were different than what Jereme had indicated; instead of coordinating with the roofers, they said that it would be better for them to do their work after the roofers had completed. There was some back-and-forth where I tried to reconcile the differences in the office staff's answers/recommendations of doing work after everything else was done and what Jereme had indicated to me on our earlier phone call. Two days after not hearing anything back, I received a phone call from Jereme. He indicated to me that he'd heard from his team that I was "frustrated" and that I had taken an "aggressive tone" with his staff and he hoped to understand my frustration but also see if there was a path forward. He indicated that he cares about his staff; the implication he was stepping in to shield them from unfair treatment. I told him that I was confused, and asked if he'd read the emails-my hope was to ensure we were on the same page about what my issue actually was and for me to understand what about my correspondence was "aggressive." He replied he'd "skimmed" the email-so I asked him if I'd be able to read it to him--much of my confusion stemmed from what the office staff was suggesting and how it was much different than what Jereme had indicated regarding coordinating steps with the roofing company. He responded "I get it, you're a good guy" as if my primary intent in reading him the email to was somehow clear my name, and he followed up with "I'd rather not live in the past and instead just move forward." Wait, seriously?! You imply I'm mistreating your staff, you're only vaguely aware of what my issue actually is and when I attempt to talk in specific terms about either of those things you suddenly want to "move forward"? I tried to explain to Jereme the disconnect, and how the staff's recommendation wasn't what he and I had discussed earlier, so I was confused. He said "it can be done either way" and "it's up to the customer"- but kept insisting that his staff was correct in their suggestion without acknowledging it was different than what he himself earlier had suggested, and that was the source of my confusion. The whole time it felt like Jereme was trying to gaslight me, and whenever I tried to be specific about our conversation or clarify what my issue actually was, he'd deflect and say dismissively "it's up to you; just tell us when to show up and we'll be there." I was pretty floored at this point and couldn't shake the feeling that I was getting hustled by this guy. I knew that as he kept insisting he wanted to "move forward" without actually talking about the nature of the problem, it was a sign that this wasn't the kind of company, and Jereme the kind of person, I could trust. So I calmly told him that it was clear to me it wouldn't be a good fit, he said "OK," and that was the extent of my experience with Builder Boy. Jereme: because you didn't bother reading the email exchange before, I posted it here for your convenience.

In estimating the job, Jack accurately determined the amount of stone veneer flat and corner pieces that would be required minimizing excess pieces at the completion of the job The dry stack stone veneer placement looks incredibly natural, with variation in size and color, giving the project depth and authenticity. His attention to detail was impeccable. How he trimmed and fitted short cornerstones and the stone pieces around a vent opening and existing vinyl fence exceeded my expectation. Jack was meticulous in keeping the job site incredibly neat and cleaned up at the end of each day. He did a thorough cleanup after the project was completed, leaving our property pristine. I was extremely satisfied with the results and will use Jack for any future masonry needs. If you want a job done right the first time by an experienced, reliable, and highly skilled craftsman, look no further than Jack Fredericks.

Were quite worried about stucco repair surrounding new windows as we've seen examples where the change in texture was noticeable -- but not at all with Jack's work. We also redid our front entrance wall to cover-over where a previous contractor botched a stucco job -- and the result looks flawless. To boot, the price was _very_ fair -- will be recurring customers if we need any work done down the line. Thank you!

Can definitely recommend Salvador and his team!

Salvador was one of the few that responded promptly and came by for an estimate. He was professional, on time & his prices were very fair - there was no BS. Based off other Yelp reviews too, I knew he probably would do a great job. While we ultimately went with a close trusted referral who gave us a better price - we 100% would've went with Salvador and his team had we not had the other option. And just for comparison & speaking from personal experience - If a contractor is sitting you down and giving you a few hours "consultation" to try to convince you to choose them & pulling out all the sales tactics in the books (""discount"" if you book today) - RUN - they will most likely charge you 2x!!! the normal price. We didn't have a lot of experience choosing contractors so we were almost convinced due to the urgency, but we decided to be smart & get our own quotes and then found Salvador who gave us a reality check of how we were almost swindled! So word to the wise, always get at least 3 quotes :) but I have a feeling Salvador will be the best option based off our experience with him.

He arrived right on time for our consultation, was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain exactly what the exterior of our home needed. Once the project started, we were impressed every single day. The crew arrived on time, worked incredibly hard from morning until late afternoon, and always treated our home and property with respect. Their attention to detail really showed in the finished product. The stucco repairs came out beautifully, and the freshly painted stucco, trim, and concrete patio all look clean and crisp. The crew also kept the work area neat throughout the project and did a thorough cleanup when everything was finished. The price was very fair and well worth the quality of workmanship we received. If you're looking for a company that is honest, professional, hardworking, and takes pride in delivering beautiful results, we wholeheartedly recommend John and everyone at Painting Renovations. We would absolutely hire them again!

One company didn't even bother to come out--just asked for measurements and sent a generic quote for basic Milgard windows. Another contractor did show up, but he was extremely pushy and basically demanded that I make a decision on the spot. He was also the most expensive of the three. Approved Contractor was the complete opposite experience. Their sales rep came out, took his time, was very relaxed and professional, walked me through all my options, and provided full license and insurance info. He left me with a written estimate and zero pressure. Their pricing came in right in the middle, but the service level made it the best value by a mile. Once my HOA approved the project, everything moved exactly on schedule. The windows were custom, and the team showed up within the four-week lead time they quoted. They installed all five windows in less than a day. They also removed the brand-new blinds I had just installed and put them back up perfectly--like they were never touched. Huge bonus. Communication was great the entire time. The installer met me in the morning so I could walk him through the space, and he called ahead before finishing so I could come back from the office, inspect everything, and sign off. The finished product looks fantastic. From the first phone call to the sales visit to installation day, the whole experience was smooth, honest, and professional. I'd absolutely recommend Approved Contractor Inc. if you're looking for quality window replacement without the pressure or runaround.

The crew worked incredibly fast--they finished everything in just four days without cutting corners, which was impressive. Everyone on the team was respectful and easy to have around, and the quality of the work turned out great. One thing I really appreciated was how the main supervisor kept checking in with me throughout the project to make sure I was happy with how things were looking and to get my input on details. They also coordinated smoothly with a separate window installation company, which made the whole process a lot less stressful on our end. At one point I changed my mind last minute about the placement of my light fixtures, and they were super accommodating and took care of it without any issue, which I really appreciated. All in all, we're really happy with the results and would definitely recommend them.

Unfortunately this was due to miscommunication as they thought I only wanted to replace 75% of the curb facing siding... not sure why anyone would do that but okay miscommunication happens. Installation: where it was straight shiplap across the front, turned out fine. The window was promised to have a symmetrical thin border across as I was sent photos from the James Hardy website... attached you will see instead it is geometrically cut out to avoid the flashing... could have been made thin and uniform throughout however I was told that it was not possible. Many neighbors have gone through other companies and have the same sized retrofitted window but had the siding all done in the same manner. Mine is the only one that looks like this. Even the installer said "I think it looks cool, we never see it cut like that..." but when it comes to housing clean cut and uniform works for us. I was told later, this couldn't have been known before hand until the old siding and window edges were taken down. However the installer knew it from day 1 and said so to me. I believe that whoever the sales rep is should always be forthcoming with the possibilities of outcomes and what it may look like vs showing examples from the company website yet delivering something else. When I went up on the roof to paint the fresh wood I found multiple spots that were not caulked properly or nailed down. (See attached photos). These were fixed later when they came out to install and fix the remaining portion of siding that I had to pay for as well that I thought was included in the original quote. Again pleased with most of it but a major focal point is the front window which did not come out to expectations of what was originally shown. Anyone can feel free to message me for more pics if needed.
