We initially had some concerns that Expert Stucco only had few reviews on Yelp. However, after talking to Gil on the phone, I felt that we needed to give Expert Stucco a chance and check it out for ourselves. Over the phone, Gil was courteous, responsive, and showed interest in the job. So, we decided to have him come over and give us a quote.
We had a semi-complex exterior stucco problem. We had a hole close to the roof and the gutter, it did not seem to be an easy fix, but Gil gave us full confidence that he could tackle and repair it. Gil seems to be a problem solver, and just like other reviewers mentioned it, we concur, he is definitely personable. With full transparency, he educated/informed us on the steps he would take on how he would fix it. Our experience with other companies that came to assess it, seemed to be a little different, some of them were more of a snob, and "problem finder" rather than a "problem fixer", yet, they had many more reviews than Expert Stucco.
Gil was able to fix our stucco the following day after he gave us a reasonable quote. He did the job himself. Although he came a little later than the original start time we agreed on, Gil was communicative and informed us that he would come at a different time, which was very appreciated by us.
My husband got to observe a little bit of his work while he was fixing our stucco, and he was impressed by his work ethics. He maintained safety as his priority, but he is also very attentive to details, and does not rush his work, that is, he gave us great confidence about the quality of his work, and that he truly cares about doing his job right.
At the end, when he was done he sent us pictures of his work, and provided us warranty for his job, should there be any problem with it in the future. Although it has not rained yet, which will be the test of its work, we feel confident, he sealed it very well, and so far, we are happy with his "art" work.
We were very happy to have hired him. We wish Gil knows other handy work, because we would totally hired him again without hesitation. In the future, we are not going to look further, and highly consider to hire him again to touch-up our entire stucco. Gil was more than personable, he is likable. We got to know a little bit more about him as he shared about his family, children, and dogs story, he seems to be such a genuine good honest person. These days, it can be challenging to find a good company / person with good and strong work ethics. Dealing with Gil was a fresh breath of air to us. read more
