Katie M.

Rubina gave me a quote almost immediately, which ended up being exactly what I paid. We had cracks in the stucco all around the house -- some much more extensive than others. All told, it cost $1,650 for materials and labor, to seal and waterproof the cracks, and an additional $350 to paint. (Rubina said typically touch-up paint is included, but ours was a fairly big job.) This felt like a pretty fair price considering the number of cracks we had, and how happy we were with the end result. Armen was friendly, efficient, and did quality work. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.

After stucco repair and painting.

This small business is great from the first contact. Rubina is polite, attentive, friendly and very patient in answering the dozen or so questions you may have about the job you are planning. She responds timely and when she said she would. The stucco artist is Armen who does an awesome job matching the stucco texture and in the attention to details of the job he does. His workmanship is impeccable and impressive. We are extremely pleased with the end result.

Once the plumbing was finished, we hired MZ Drywall to handle the repairs and painting. Marek, the owner, was easy to communicate with and understood the importance of completing the project in a timely manner since our tenants had been temporarily relocated. The work was scheduled and finished in a timely manner, and Marek personally stopped by the job site every morning to check on progress and answer any questions we had. We are happy with the quality of the drywall repairs. The patched areas blend in well, and it's difficult to tell where the walls and ceiling had been opened. Throughout the project, Marek and his team were professional, reliable, and easy to work with. We had a positive experience and would hire MZ Drywall again for future projects. We recommend them to anyone looking for drywall repair and painting services.

Update (September 2026): I reached out to Luis again for another drywall repair, this time after…read moresome drywall was damaged by a water heater leak. As always, Luis did a great job. He opened up the affected area and carefully checked for any remaining moisture before removing the damaged drywall. He then replaced the drywall and repaired the area, leaving everything looking clean and properly finished. I really appreciate his attention to detail and the quality of his work. I would definitely recommend Luis for drywall repairs and will continue to use him for future projects. His prices are always reasonable. Thanks again Luis for another job well done!

I had a positive experience with Luis back in 2020 where he fixed a bad skim job by another…read morecontractor for me with a bunch of patches, and I thought Luis' skills were pretty superior. Over the years I have been doing DIY fixing of more bad spots around the house but I also work so I was never going to get around to all of it. I decided to call Luis back recently because I didn't want to do it myself anymore and I want to repaint fresh non-patchy walls. I hired Luis to reskim two bedrooms and two accent walls and some other miscellaneous spots that I added after he started working at my house. Luis was at my house for 3 half-days (1.5 in total) before telling me he was finished with the walls. I was (still) happy as a clam at that point and paid him in full for what was completed, fully trusting that the work was done skillfully based on my prior experience. (He was coming back one more time to finish the misc. stuff that I added on and I would pay for that part then.) Anyway, imagine my horror when I checked on his "finished" work and saw imperfections everywhere and tons of sanding dust still left behind on the walls, switches, and even mud on the door knobs. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves from here with brief descriptions of what's being shown. -Pictures 1-3: Some of the imperfections from the first time Luis said he was "finished." -Picture 4: His first fix-it visit(half day). He was supposed to find all the imperfections and patch them (the yellow highlighter spots), except he was patching bubbles with more bubbles. I had to patch all the spots again with my own compound and added a ton of other ones that he missed. Took me two full nights. -Pictures 5&6: His second fix-it and final visit (another half day). He was supposed to sand over all the patches and walls to leave them with a smooth & uniform finish that's ready for primer & paint. This was how I found them after he left. I sent him these pictures and told him to not come back as I had given him 2 chances to fix and he failed both times. There was no response from him. -Picture 7: I made only a partial payment of the balance on Luis' last visit because part of the remaining work was him making the corners of a ceiling overhang crisp, the corners are crisp but somehow the overhang is now squiggly when that wasn't the problem before. -Picture 8: I had taped up all my trims before Luis came as I didn't want any mud/compound to get on them, but I thought my crown molding were safe. They were not. He had busted them pretty badly with his electric sander in 7 spots and dinged them in at least 10 other spots but those were minor and I was able to superglue them back together. I did take on the repair of the major dings myself because I wanted to tape all of it up before he came back for more sanding. Luis and I had good rapport and I actually liked talking to him, but once the job took a turn for the worse, he never acknowledged that he didn't do a good enough job. He instead said things like, 1. "You're not supposed to look at the walls with a light from the side like that" and "I've never seen anyone look at a wall like you." --Yes, technically he's right, walls usually have paint on them which would have made these imperfections painfully obvious even when looking at them straight on, but until there is paint, this is how drywallers check for imperfections and fix them before they get permanently sealed with paint. (I had two painters (who also skim coat) come over for quotes and this was how they both checked to see how much prep work they would have to do before painting). 2. "I could fix these walls 10 times and something will still come up."--it really shouldn't if he did it right the first time, he's supposed to be a professional, not a DIYer like me. 3. "You've got to be kidding me. I'm at a point where I want to just refund your money and get out of this insanity"--after he came and saw all the patches I added to the walls (that he missed). I know what he was trying to imply and still gave him my electric sander to use so he could finish the job. With all that said, guess who is still stuck sanding the walls now after paying Luis to do the job and saying I didn't want to DIY this anymore. And with all these patches that I had to add to cover up his mudding imperfections/bubbles, it's looking like I'm going to end up with patchy walls again, which is exactly where I was when I handed Luis this project. What a joke. And the crown molding that I fixed up? That still needs to be repainted as well. I wasn't going to leave this review, but after several weeks and my walls still needing to be finished, I thought I would share my experience.

Many others said the roof above the windows running down the inside walls. And many others saying it was coming in through the stucco. I went through this process for six months. Finally Evan came out and gave me a detailed explanation about where the water was coming from. Evan did an excellent job repairing our water-damaged stucco. He found and fixed the source of the water, removed the damaged areas, inspected and repaired everything behind the stucco, replaced the necessary waterproofing and lath, and carefully blended the new stucco with the existing texture. He was thorough, professional, and took the time to do the job right. We're very happy with the finished result and would definitely recommend Evan!

From the get-go, he was incredibly responsive, personable, and professional. After experiencing accidental water damage in my home, I was overwhelmed with the entire process. We had just gone through water mitigation and needed to find contractors for the reconstruction, which included repairing a significant portion of our garage ceiling and kitchen ceiling, replacing laundry room flooring and baseboards, and repainting the affected areas. Camilo's quote was a fraction of what other contractors were charging, and what really stood out was his honesty and willingness to work with us. He never tried to upsell me or take advantage of my situation, unlike some of the other contractors I encountered. He patiently answered my many questions, made me feel comfortable throughout the process, and was able to fit us into his schedule within just a few days. You can tell that this is more than just a business to Camilo. He leads with heart, integrity, and a strong work ethic. He originally estimated that the project would take four days, but he and his team completed everything in just TWO days! The workmanship was immaculate, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Finding a trustworthy contractor can be stressful, especially when you're already dealing with unexpected home damage, so I'm incredibly grateful to have found Camilo and his team. I would 100% reach out to him again if I ever need his services in the future (hopefully not anytime soon!). Thank you again, Camilo and team, for making such a stressful situation so much easier. You've absolutely earned this five-star review! Highly recommend!

He is exceptional: a true craftsman with incredible work ethic and attention to detail, and a kind, respectful person to have working in your home. A few months ago, the plaster ceiling in our 1920s Tudor decided to give way in the middle of the night. We'd been debating whether or not to just live with our deeply textured and cracking plaster walls, but since we needed to replace the ceiling anyway we decided to skim coat the entire room (and then the rest of the house, which had been skim coated poorly in the past and was looking pretty haggard). We love the character of our home, and chose William because we could tell he was going to preserve it. He diligently worked over months to skim coat every wall and ceiling, preserving all of the special historic details (rounded returns at the windows, sharp edges around the woodwork, beautiful smooth arches in a wall cutaway) while giving us glass-smooth walls -- the end result is stunning. We've been interviewing painters recently and every single one of them has asked who did the work and commented on how expertly it was done. Out of all the home improvements we could have done, this one is by far the most impactful and brings us joy every day. Thank you so much, William.
