    Tino CR SOCAL PAINTS best tradesman in the business Tino responded immediately in my yelp question to bid on my interior home painting request. Impressive skilled and top quality transformation to my mountain rental property. Top quality workmanship and very reliable. I highly recommend CR SOCAL PAINTS in the inland empire. Honest work ,Great Value Twin Peaks CA

    Painted on carpet (it's attached at the corner spot to the wall) so its not properly prepped.

    UPDATE (response to your post): Tino, you knew I tried to paint and gave up and called you for help, you could have updated your contract. I'm not trying to getting out of paying for proper work, as you are attempting to make me look like. I told you I needed this fixed, not painted over. And you did not even do 2 coats NOR sanding, like your promised. The workmanship of your employees was terrible. Cutting corners wherever possible, instead of doing the work right. I also texted you to come fix this, and you were unresponsive. I would NOT recommend this work to anyone. As a painter, you should take pride in what you do, not cutting corners by painting over someone's mistakes. That's why I i hired you, to fix what was wrong and to continue the job. But, after seeing that your guys just painted over the, without any communication of needing to fix it to make this right, I asked you not to come back. You also treated me poorly when I asked you to paint my stair banister, even though I said I would pay you. This is terribel business! *************************** Unprofessional Work and Broken Promises - Avoid CR SocalPaints I hired CR SocalPaints (operated by Celestino "Tino") to paint the baseboards and trim in my home, and it was a highly disappointing and frustrating experience. Before hiring Tino, I had already done the extensive prep work of sanding and priming the first floor myself. Tino assured me he would complete the job properly. Instead, he cut major corners and was untruthful about the work performed: Downstairs: He claimed he applied two full coats of paint. In reality, he applied only one thin coat of semi-gloss, leaving behind terrible, heavy brush ridges and a highly textured, unprofessional finish. Upstairs: He claimed his team hadn't started upstairs yet. However, they had secretly gone up and applied a single coat of semi-gloss directly onto unprimed trim surfaces. Because they completely skipped the primer stage, the fresh paint has zero adhesion and peeled right off the baseboards like a sticker when painters tape was removed. Property Damage: Because of the rushed single coats and improper taping, fresh paint peeled off to the bare wood along the bottom edges, and dried paint drips were left pooling at the floor line. When I reached out to confront him about these issues, I got nowhere. We ended up having to buy an electric sander, re-sand his entire messy job, patch the peeled areas, and re-prime/re-paint the house ourselves to fix his mistakes.

    I would definitely recommend Celestino and his company. He was able to keep my project under budget without using cheaper materials or rushing the job. Everything was completed with a professional mindset and timely manner while taking in my concerns without any issues. Celestino takes pride in his work and you can see it while he works and at the end of your projects.

    NIGHTMARE doesn't even begin to cover it. Bill strutted in promising the world, then vanished like…read morea coward. He's out here operating with a suspended license, stiffing the demo crew who tore out our flooring, and leaving us with a destroyed home and a half‑finished job. His installer barely got 10% done before the entire crew disappeared without a single word. I've tried calling. I've tried emailing. I even showed up at the local office -- all I got were pathetic excuses and zero accountability. The demo company and I have already filed complaints with the contractors board and the financing company because this man thinks he can just take people's money and run. How does a grown man blatantly steal, lie through his teeth, and operate with zero integrity? Every response he posts to negative reviews is defensive, rude, and dripping with shady behavior. He cannot be trusted. Nothing he says is real. And I have the documentation to back every bit of this up. I wish I had dug deeper before hiring him. If I can stop even one person from getting screwed the way we did, then at least this disaster serves a purpose.

    Buyer Beware - My Home Was Left Torn Apart - Their contractor license has been revoked!…read more I never imagined I would be writing a review like this, but I feel obligated to warn other homeowners. I hired Flooring Direct Temecula to replace the flooring throughout my home. On June 22, 2026, I signed a contract for laminate flooring and paid the required deposit to pay for materials. The installation began but stopped abruptly after only part of the flooring was installed because there were no remaining materials. What followed was one of the worst customer service nightmares I have ever had. For more than two weeks, the owner, Bill Norris, completely disappeared. My repeated phone calls and text messages went unanswered. I received absolutely no communication explaining why my home had been left in pieces. During that same time: * The installer told me he had not been paid. * The delivery driver told me he could not reach Bill. * A salesperson ( His son Billy) at Flooring Direct Temecula also told me he could not get Bill to answer his calls. Think about that for a moment. Not only could the customer not reach the owner, but his own employees and subcontractors couldn't reach him either. Because no one would communicate with me, I had to investigate the situation myself. I contacted the flooring manufacturer directly and discovered that only part of my flooring order had ever been purchased. The remaining flooring required to finish my home was sitting at the manufacturer because it had never been paid for. As the homeowner, I was told I could not obtain my own flooring because only the contractor could authorize and pay for its release. Meanwhile, my home was left with exposed subfloors, furniture piled everywhere, and rooms that were unusable. No phone call. No explanation. No plan. No concern for the customer. I ultimately had to open a dispute with Chase Visa to protect my money. I also filed felony charges!!!!!!!!!!! Only after I escalated the situation and informed Bill that I was involving the police to document what had happened and finally pressed formal criminal charges did he finally contact me. This entire situation could have been handled differently with honest communication. Instead, I was left chasing answers from installers, delivery drivers, and manufacturers because the person responsible for my project simply disappeared. This wasn't simply a delayed job. This was a complete breakdown in communication and professionalism that left my family living in an unfinished construction zone while we had no idea whether our project would ever be completed. I strongly encourage anyone considering Flooring Direct Temecula to do extensive research, verify everything independently, and understand exactly who is responsible for your project before paying a deposit. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company.

    The short review: Carlos, Sam and Rudy did an amazing job at ripping out carpet that was over 30…read moreyears old, and installing the new laminate in the living room and on the stairs. They were professional and very attentive to detail. The price for this work was beyond reasonable and would highly recommend Ferguson Flooring for your needs. For the longer more detailed appreciative review: We did our homework, we went and got quotes from Empire, Lowes and Ferguson. Ferguson won out for so many reasons. They let us bring home samples so we could see how it might look with our house and furniture. While in their show room, they were helpful and attentive and listened to what we were looking for and guided us accordingly. AND, their prices were just great as compared to others. Once we locked down a date, the crew came in and quickly dispatched our old rug, prepped the floor and got right to work. The crew was friendly and focused and also very helpful with there knowledge and suggestions. Every suggestion was spot on for the end result. And their stair guy...he's a genius and an artist! TRULY!!! They didn't rush at all, and took their time to do the job correctly. They were funny and personable as well...no buttcracks showed at any time during their work...LOL. But seriously...you can tell these guys love their job. They were playing some tunes while working, singing along, chatting up with us...Just really great people! I really can't say enough good things about this company. When we decide to do our upstairs, there is no question on who we will be turning to, to do that work. Thanks again guys!

    We are extremely happy with Ferguson Flooring replacing all our carpet and tile with beautiful…read morelaminate flooring. They were very professional and in four days they were in and out and our home looked wonderful. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Ferguson Flooring, Inc. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.
