Highly Recommend Beach City Stairs…read more We recently completed a staircase renovation project in our Southern California home. Like many homeowners embarking on a renovation, we researched extensively and requested bids from three different companies. One was a full-service remodeling organization, another was a smaller general contractor, and the third was Beach City Stairs. We ultimately chose Beach City Stairs because of their deep expertise and specialization in staircase construction and renovation. From the beginning, it was clear that working with a company dedicated specifically to stairs would make a significant difference in the outcome. Kenny, who initially met with us to take measurements, review current code requirements, and scope the project, was outstanding. He was communicative, knowledgeable, professional, and friendly--instilling confidence from day one. When the project began, we were equally impressed with the onsite team. They were an absolute dream to work with--meticulous, skilled, professional, and courteous. Each team member took great care in delivering their portion of the project with precision and craftsmanship. The renovation was completed on schedule and within the quoted budget. We couldn't be happier with the final result and highly recommend working with the experts at Beach City Stairs!

I highly recommend Repair Hero and will definitely use them again for future projects!

Highly recommend D&K Builders. We renovated a mid-century custom ranch home that needed all its…read moreessential systems replaced - electrical, gas and water plumbing, HVAC. The job included a completely new kitchen with custom cabinetry, half-bath, utility room, and layout changes. Plus, new insulation, flooring, windows, closets, interior and exterior painting. As expected, when retrofitting a 1951 gem, there were many complexities which the D&K team handled with care - both in terms of safety and to maintain the mid-century style of the home. Jairo provided guidance over all the subcontractors and graciously handled the interface with the City, SDG&E, the architect, and the neighbors. His choice of subs was spot on. All were very responsive. The communication worked well with on-site meetings and through a WhatsApp chat, so there were no surprises. And, as an added bonus: When design decisions can up, Jairo and Dominic listened and provided good input to ensure both the form and function of changes worked together. Through this process we certainly learned about the complexities of a big retrofit/renovation (!) and very glad D&K Builders was there to make this mid-century gem a lovely home for the next 75 years.

Andrew did a complete remodel on our downstairs, converting it from a dingy cave of a rec room to a…read moremaster suite, complete with adding a bathroom french doors and large closet. Andrew's work ethic is amazing. He works quickly and efficiently and pays great attention to detail. He has great suggestions and inventive ideas for every part of the process, and will always come back to making sure he understands exactly what you want. Having someone in your home throughout the duration of a project isn't always the easiest thing, but Andrew felt like family. He shows up every morning at the same time, and always gets right back to you if you have any questions. He's a great communicator and acted with honesty and integrity at all points. He has a wide range of expertise (framing/flooring/tile/custom furniture/etc). Andrew approaches the project as a finish carpenter would, and then plans every step of the process to see that original idea come to life.

It's been almost a year since we remodeled our kitchen. We are so happy we decided to use Appleton…read moreDesign & Construction. Tom and his crew were great! Whenever I had a concern or question, Tom or someone from his crew would quickly get back to me. One example of going above and beyond was when we unboxed our microwave for installation. Unfortunately, we unboxed our microwave on the 17th day after purchase. We thought we had 30 days. The microwave had a huge dent. I called the retail store and they refused to replace it. They said they could only give me a gift card for $40. Tom was able to use his contacts and the store then replaced the microwave. I also appreciated that Tom listened, gave suggestions and helped us with how I wanted the kitchen to function. Our family and friends still tell us how much they like the set up and style of our beautiful kitchen!

Tom and crew did a lot of work for us but he and his crew missed the mark when it came to making a…read moreconcrete countertop for our kitchen. This concrete sealant or whatever you want to call it was apparently the first time this product was used by him which I would not suggest he do with anyone else. I believe he had a choice to use an industrial grade product (as I requested) since our request was to make the countertop "shine like Costco's floor" but this is what the product looked like after a few months. He guaranteed that he would redo the countertop to our satisfaction but he stopped working on this even though the final product came out looking like crap - and after the third attempt as well. Unfortunately Tom elected to no longer work with us after I pointed out some of his other shortfalls so just keep this in mind when getting bids. Tom often likes to use a guesstimate bidding versus providing a formal quote. Sure it cuts down on costs, but you might not get what you thought you were getting since nothing is in a formal quote many times. I could point out other things that just were not done very well like when our Sub-Zero fridge showed up and Tom's crew didn't read the specifications correctly so the crew could not install the fridge and Tom's crew had to fix the opening in the kitchen and then the Sub-Zero crew had to come back a week later. The instructions were clear and Sub-Zero has very detailed specs - but the crew didn't pay attention to them. Again, just things like that were a normal occurrence throughout the entire time we had Tom do our projects. His father's custom kitchen cabinets turned out ok - looked very nice, but some of the trim pieces were not lined up on other areas. Just little annoyances. Anyway, nice bunch of people, but not what you'd expect for the several tens of thousands of dollars we spent over a year.

My…read moreso-called "front door" is at the south side, a 30-foot walk to the front stoop from the driveway. Around back, west-facing, is a 22 foot by 14 foot patio. All this surface is concrete, poured in 1984, and was in dire need of resurfacing. I had 5 bidders, but FF was both the lowest in cost and highest-regarded per their reviews. What a pleasure to get such beautiful work at any price! We absolutely recommend them for any concrete resurfacing/redesign you may be considering! Ray, Philip, and crew obviously love their jobs. And we sure love their work!
