    They charge extra to cover the floor?

    I would NOT recommend working with this couple. It has been a nightmare from the beginning. I have been renovating my house for 2 years now and have had dozens of contractors to work with - have never had a single problem with any of them, ever. I do not usually write reviews unless the situation is extreme. Sadly, this is one of those cases. To be clear, they never started work on my home, we didn't have a date set to start. The entire dispute is over the changes Alex made to what he promised for the price he gave to paint the interior of my home. First he told me that he could do everything I wanted for one particular price. The next time I talked to him he said, "oh the ceiling is not included" (even though I have a text message from him saying it was). The next time I talked to him for clarification, suddenly something else he had mentioned before was now "not included" either. This happened three times and finally I asked to just not go forward because he had changed what he promised so many times that I didn't even know what I would get if I had him start the job! No clarity, minimal wording in the email of what the job included and then multiple texts contradicting one another as to what was included and what wasn't. SO unprofessional. Then Norma comes into my home with an attitude as if she's going to fix anything that way. She was very defensive when I explained to her what I had been promised and that I had the text messages from Alex with all of the conflicting promises he made. It blows my mind that they run their business this way. Do not give these people any of your money before you get something very, very clear in writing - it was my mistake for having trust in Alex. I am still out $500 after waiting 9 weeks for my $1,000 deposit to be returned. I just barely got $500 of it back last week after being promised over and over again that my refund was coming. I have a text from Alex saying that he had not purchased the paint yet, but a few days later when Norma came over, she suddenly claimed they spent my $1,000 on paint and supplies and would have to wait for their refund from the store. So dishonest to have spent my money before they even started my job or bought my supplies and then try to give multiple excuses to delay ever giving the money back. I'm annoyed that I have to go through the trouble of taking them to small claims court, but I really did give them every single opportunity to make things right. I have been more than patient and they have given me the run around for way too long. The last thing I'll say is that when I got a recommendation for a new painter, come to find out that EVERYTHING I need is included AND the price is $1,000 cheaper than what I was quoted by Alex. Shop around and do your diligence. Don't just take someone's word for these guys or you might end up like I did. Amended following owner's response: 1. Of course, this is my "side of the story" that is what a review means. 2. "how were we supposed to start?" There was never a complaint of when you were starting. I simply stated that you did not start the job to clarify that my deposit was requested before you ever started. Alex came to our home and saw the major construction of the wall the first time he arrived. He was aware that we had to await the city's approval and inspection. I have multiple text messages from Alex saying that it was "no problem" and "just let me know when your inspection is done and we'll start" 3. I never threatened to take you to court. I told a friend of mine that it was sad that I was going to have to take you to court and he said "I know them, let me talk to them before you file". I waited as a courtesy to him and ended up giving you two more weeks of jerking me around with "oh, my Zelle isn't working", oh, we were busy, I couldn't go to the bank", "oh, I sent it but the bank didn't approve it so I'll send half", etc. etc. etc. 4. Yes, I am an attorney, but that has nothing to do with small claims court. I am licensed with the CA Bar Association. I do not currently practice law, I work for an insurance company. Therefore, I do not need my license to be active. I'm sorry your attorney mislead you and told you I was lying about being a lawyer. You might want to check the business license website though, it looks like you have some deficiencies there yourself (sadly I had to go to the licensing website to get an address since they wouldn't give me an address to file the court papers). Secondly, your attorney must also not have told you that all of your text messages to me stating that you will return my deposit, and that you will return my deposit on August 16th and that you are going to give it to me this Friday, etc. Those are all called "promises to pay". In CA text messages with a promise to pay are legally binding. Maybe see if you can get your friends and family members to write more of the fake reviews for you to outweigh mine - since mine doesn't bother you.

    After!

    Thank you Alex and Norma! We are so happy with how the job turned out. I'm so glad that I saw your colorful van and decided to give you a call. Alex did an amazing job repairing our stucco and painting the exterior of our house. Norma was very responsive and professional throughout. Thanks again!

    Edf Painting goes above and beyond in details, customer service, response time, and reliability. Alex is meticulous in his work and work ethic. Norma helped me with colors and recommendations and always there for me. They've done 2 jobs for me thus far and I am extremely pleased with their work. I will have them back again and again. They transformed my kitchen cabinets and living spaces. Next up: my upstairs areas! I have not had the best of luck with contractors and Alex and Norma restored my faith!

    We heard about EDF painting from my husband buddy who had his stucco, trim, fascia and patio painted and he couldn't be more pleased. He was happy with their work he referred them to us because he heard we we looking for a painter to paint our trim, fascia, front door and garage. Without hesitation, I called EDF Painting and spoke to Norma to have them come over for a quote. We immediately hired them. We couldn't be more happier! Alex done an amazing job!! I highly recommend him for any of your painting needs. Thanks Norma and Alex!

    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.

Warning warning in my opion this person does not act like a professional.

I had five different stucco companies come out to give me a bid for repair work around a window, and John was the only one who actually started from a place of curiosity, asking me questions about the issue. You can tell right away that he's a person of solid character who has also mastered his craft. He took the time to first understand my problem, and then he walked me through the solution with so much patience and clarity (never condescending, just genuinely helpful). Not only was his bid very competitive, but he even took the time to review a competitor's quote with me and pointed out exactly where I was being overcharged for work I didn't even need. He and his son, Garrison, are really solid people. Even though he's a stucco expert and not a leak detection specialist, he went well above and beyond by helping me troubleshoot with a water test to make sure we found the actual source of the leak. For the stucco work that was required, he handled the repairs beautifully. Just as importantly, John identified work that wasn't necessary. If you want someone good-natured, patient, and truly an expert who cares about the final result, call these guys.

Since I had recently had the house painted, I did not need them to color match, and had provided them with the brand and paint color. This increased the price by $30 but it wasn't a deal breaker. I wanted to ensure the stucco patch matched the house. The day before the job and morning of, I received a text confirming the job start time. Alvarado arrived on time and went straight to work. The job took about 5 hours, and he made sure the work area was clean. He did such a great job! I could not even tell where the vent was.

The area along where the slider was all the way to corner of the house was in bad shape as well. I contacted Al and he immediately called me back. We discussed what I wanted repaired and reviewed the pictures I sent him. We had a price set on the phone. We scheduled for a day the following week. Al showed up on time and got a sample of the stucco to get a paint match. Came back shortly and went to work removing the decaying stucco. Then applied the new stucco. Every area of new stucco was painted and it look really nice. Al worked very clean and left everything very tidy from his work area. I also had a couple interior doors that would not stay open. He adjusted them and now they are balanced and stay open. No more door stops. Al is very conscientious and has great work ethics. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again!
