Found Optimal Finish on Groupon, called to make the appointment, and the rest is history. Dustin was very responsive to my questions and helpful in picking out the stain color to use. He actually didn't live far from our new house, so he went to measure when we weren't home. He and his co-worker came over to stain and were done within an hour and a half. Yes, you can stain a fence yourself, but if you want to avoid the headache and wasted day in the Texas sun, use these guys!

Our fence looks great! I believe we have the best looking fence in the neighborhood…read more To be honest, I didn't even know there were companies that did this type of thing. The main concern was finding someone reputable and who would show up. The second concern was pricing. After doing a search on Yelp, I found Optimal Finish and contacted Dustin. Dustin is very knowledgeable about staining and sealing wood and the products being used. After our first meeting, we knew we found a reputable company to complete the work for a reasonable price. Dustin cares about the work being done and if something does not look right, has no hesitation in doing whatever it takes to correct the issue. Optimal Finish did an amazing job on our fence and the best part, is we don't have to worry about re-staining or re-sealing anytime soon. I would highly recommend Optimal Finish.

The work we needed done was a shower reseal, some grout on 3 tiles, repair a piece of wall damaged…read moreby water near the shower, and to fix a patch of drywall in the ceiling. The shower reseal seems to be holding up as of today (about 1.5 weeks out from the job) but the ceiling repair was not done well (see photo). The paint dried to a different shade and looks awful. When I notified them of the issue the response I received seemed seemed to put the blame on us for not giving the right paint color and then when I assured them the color was correct, they said, "Well the paint is old so it's not going to blend well." The latter I could understand and would've gladly even paid more just to have the entire ceiling downstairs painted but it seemed clear they were not interested in making it right. The grout in the restroom has started to chip already but given the previous response, I will either fix that myself or hire another contractor to patch it up. I also had to ask twice for them to wear their masks. My wife is high risk for Covid as she has lupus so I was not happy to have 2 people I did not know without masks. We have had other maintenance people in the house over the past year and this was never an issue. Such a shame as their initial communication was great and estimate was fair (I always get at least 3 estimates). I'm giving 3 stars because the shower reseal and drywall in the restroom appears fine. The ceiling will need to be fixed and I'll need to re-grout. Update: As it turns out, we had a leak in the shower behind the wall that our plumber initially missed. The day after posting this review, our shower reseal fell apart not because of La Patrona but because of the leak behind the wall. We called our plumber (not very happy with them since when they initially came out they said there was not a leak) and the plumber fixed it. La Patrona resealed the shower at no extra charge and fixed the dry wall (with what appears as of now to be the correct paint color as opposed to what was in my initial picture) and even fixed the drywall the plumber cut into behind the shower at no extra charge.

We specified Sherwin Williams paint and color, but think Braun merely took a sample and went to a big box store to have it matched. In addition, Libby C (San Antonio but erroneously posted as San Francisco) wrote a review, too - citing all the scraping of overlapped paint on French door windows. We are going to have to have our home repainted. Braun was expensive and left us with more problems than we started with.

We now feel even stronger about the shoddy work that was done because paint is now peeling. We specified a Sherwin Williams color to match paint already done on the house. We think Braun went to a big box store to purchase paint. It does not match the existing color. At the time of the work, Braun opined that the mismatch was because of time day and effects sunlight. Further, it is obvious that two coats of paint were needed or paint was too thin. See photographs. Braun was to paint eaves to match siding and trim.

First I want to let everyone know we did not hire this company. We made an offer to buy a house and…read morethe owner stated he already arranged for Stain Tech to redo the floor. We made an agreement that we would work with the company to select the color since we were buying the house. We talked to the owner about the flooring and got great promises. The pictures on the website are all without imperfections, but I have been informed that imperfections are allowed for in the contract. Unfortunately the work done on the floors came out with a multitude of big white splotches and scratches and the owner is now saying that the big white scratches are part of the "decorative imperfections" and not terrible scratches where the stain did not take. See the pictures as they do not look like those on the website. I am so disappointed in what we thought would be a beautiful floor. Buyer beware!

After the remodeling job is done incorrectly, he will tell you that you got a significant discount and therefore that's as good as it gets.

I have no idea how you can break silestone but horrible tenants left my kitchen counter in pieces…read more How do you do that? Even the repair men said the tenants must have did something crazy and harsh to do something like that. Finally after asking around for a few months, a friendly neighbor recommended this place. And after describing the condition my counters were in and texting pictures, they agreed to come out to see if they could repair it. They did excellent work and I am most happy with the solution they came up with. They ended up having to support the counters with brackets and then seal the cracks since the counter were no longer level. It did cost me a few hundred but I saved lots in comparison of having to buy new counters for the broken counter which of resulted in me buying new counters for the entire kitchen...which in reality I would have not been able to afford. There was a little bit of a communication problem in which I needed to provide the brackets and no one informed me of that until they came to fix the counter. Since the brackets were not stocked at Lowes or Homedepot we had to reschedule. Other than that little mishap, I am extremely happy with the end result and the quality of their work!

He came recommended by my building contractor (Andres Lopez) who recently renovated my kitchen. He arrived on time with his assistant. I was impressed with the time and patience the took to make exacting measurements, and in drawing a very detailed diagram of the quartz countertop which was to be installed. When he and his team returned to install the finished countertops, his cutting of the countertop material was so precise they literally locked into place when positioned. The three separate pieces required for the main countertop and island fit perfectly. I highly recommend Silvio and Nature in Motion Granites LLC for this specialty in your new home or renovations.
