We live in San Diego and have water seepage issues in a storage room when it rains. After assessing…read morethe area they recommended a sump pump and WaterGuard drainage system all along the concrete wall. We had a couple options, but what I appreciated the most was the honest input and recommendations on what pump to use and what would work best for our issue. We did receive quotes from other companies and theirs was by far the most affordable and exactly what we needed. We were able to get in the schedule within a few weeks and the crew arrived promptly on the morning of the install and walked us through the project steps. They took two days to complete it, which is amazing considering the drilling, trenching, removal of concrete and installation. Throughout the entire process the crew was so nice and respectful of our home. We felt like we were being well taken care of, and they took pride in the work that they did; especially considering that El Niño rains were coming and our neighborhood is prone to floods. I've already recommended them to a friend that needs work done in her crawlspace. Shout out to our excellent crew, Eric, Manny, and Luis!

No knowing exactly what I was up against, I really had to rely on Al's advice and experience to calmly guide me through the details of exactly what to expect.

There was not even the slightest issue. I am so very pleased. We are currently ready to begin work on the ADU. I expect the same amount of ease with this project.

I did not expect to write a review about a stucco contractor, but Mike The Stucco Guy earned this…read morerecognition. Mike returned my call within minutes and asked me to text pictures of the areas in need of repair. Once received, he texted a competitive quote and said he could take care of our job the same day (light workload that afternoon). His men arrived ahead of schedule, walked around our home to double-check areas in need of repair, masked work areas to protect pavers, worked efficiently, and completely cleaned up after themselves. The lead installer showed me their work prior to leaving to make sure I was completely satisfied with the outcome. I texted Mike afterwards, made payment, and asked a question afterwards about dry time prior to painting the patches. He was super responsive throughout this same-day process. This positive contractor experience was unexpected but welcome and refreshing. I am pleased to recommend Mike The Stucco Guy.

Marc Hetherington comes through again! We had a "million dollar landslide" that directly affected…read moreour property. Yes, that is a lot of north county real estate. Several homes were affected, it looked ugly, not only in terms of athestics, but also in home values lost. Hetherington Engineering not only designed an elegant fix that actually enhanced the homes beyond where they were initially, he did it in a timely manner and with class. The properties involved are staying where they are forever, the fix is locked in bedrock! He just delivered documents stating that we are whole, that nothing is moving. Ever. Would I use him again for another project? Yes! Put Hetherington on the interview list for your next project.

I am submitting this review for my friend Pat Hall who is unfamiliar with Yelp but wanted to spread…read morethe word about Doug's good work... I have had Doug do several projects around my house.  First, he put in a back door and ramp off my back bedroom, then he put up a free-standing awning that a handyman could not install because he couldn't figure out how to do it.  Doug put up this awning all by himself, and it's quite heavy and awkward. When I first met Doug shortly after moving into my home, Doug noticed that the water heater was not vented.  The building inspector failed to notice this and did not report it.  Doug said that the water heater door, which faces outside, was not up to code and the heat buildup could cause a fire.  On further examination, Doug noticed that, yes, a small fire had occurred and melted a plastic part. Doug immediately went to the hardware store, bought a vent plate, cut the proper opening in the door and installed the vented plate. I do not hesitate to leave Doug alone in my home while he works if I'm gone.  He is very honest, is good to my dogs and his prices are very reasonable -- so reasonable, in fact, that I add to my payment and chastise him for not asking for more.

During inspection of the attic it was identified that we might have a leak issue at the roof line.

This was the first time I ever dealt with him so he owed me nothing yet he treated me like we were the most important people. He did our repairs over a weekend to be ready for reinspection. His communication was on point and he could have really gouged me price wise but didn't. His number is now forever in my contacts, if you need stucco work at your home this is the guy to call!!

I am extremely thankful to Joseph at JRP Plastering and Stucco for all of the help that he provided…read moreus with our leak situation. During the huge rains we had in Oceanside we developed a leak in our second floor bathroom in the area below a window. Various companies I called were not interested in trying to figure out the source of the problem and just blamed the windows. When I called Joseph however it was a different story. He is extremely detail oriented and took the time to investigate the potential causes. He determined it was from cracked stucco near the window, but not the window itself. Which made perfect sense with the location and behavior of the leak. He meticulously started opening up the stucco to see the extent of the damage. He found the paper under the stucco had deteriorated pretty severely on that wall due to the extreme sun exposure over the years. He continued to open it up until he was comfortable that he had exposed all the issues. After replacing all the damaged areas, stuccoing the entire wall and repainting, you couldn't even tell the whole side had been opened up. He even took the time to examine all the windows above the area of the leak for any damage, and thoroughly cleaned them and even resealed them. We also had Joseph remove a statue from an alcove and re stucco the area. And again, his work was impeccable. Paint matching was perfect. He took pictures of everything as he worked, he explained all of the things he was doing and why he was doing them. His pricing was very fair and communication was very good. On a personal note, he was a pleasure to work with. I appreciate his attention to detail, and his quality work. But he was also just a kind and friendly person to talk with. He would even offer to pick up food or supplies for us if we needed anything when he was on his way or getting supplies. I highly recommend Joseph in all regards.
