    Superior Siding - Idea for new facade

    Superior Siding

    (13 reviews)

    Ocean Beach, Point Loma

    2.5 stars: My siding looks beautiful due to Christian's…read moregreat employees and due to my diligence/flexibility and my major cost shifting techniques Christian's behavior led me to undertake. The process to get to almost the end point has however been pretty awful. I have read the older reviews and am amazed, because the Christian I dealt with these past 50 days was extremely different from what other reviewers describe. My opinion is Christian is very high strung and explosive these days. It is for this reason that I write this review. While on my property for a sliding and window installation, Christian had three self instigated yelling episodes, once even to another contracting service. Christian, you see, had a 10 million dollar home to side after mine and said he was behind on my job due to the window delay. The window issue caused a one day delay. Health issues in one of his employees caused a 10 day delay. Holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years) caused a 6 day delay. I ended up placing a change order request to eliminate Christian's company from trimming the interior to my windows because I became afraid that Christian would have another explosive interaction. Christian also seemed quite unable to manage his moneys for my job, twice asking for money days ahead of completion of scheduled work. He also used my contract to order materials for another job. Thankfully, I was able to get a lin release, but it was only given to me AFTER removing the material from my property and while job was still less than 50% completed. Some of the material he took away that day was needed to complete my corner railing, so a makeshift corner was placed that is chipped and needs fixed. Even though he was contracted to caulk siding and nail holes, Christian told me his workers aren't as good at that aspect of the job, that I would be better off getting a painter to do that work. I had no problem with doing that until Christian refused to credit me for the cost of caulking that was shifted to a painter. Instead Christian continues to insist that I pay him for the caulking job his team did not complete. Christian has gone as far as to state in writing that both caulking and flashing are not required when installing Hardie siding. He also said that he isn't responsible for insulating windows, just for plumbing them in the jambs. Hardie manufacturer, Azek manufacturer, window installers and an independent 3rd party inspector all tell me Christian is wrong. Pretty certain that the CA Licensing Board will also tell me Christian he is wrong. Christian left my job unfinished. I have 32 feet of missing trim in the front of my house, damaged trim at the water table and on the front corner of my railing. I have 3 windows only partially installed/shims sticking out 4 inches into my room. Christian also removed waterproofing from around my basement door and opened up the door jamb above the door in order to re-trim it, but never finished that project either. He was suppose to come back to complete the loose ends 2 Fridays ago, but never showed up. Instead, that weekend he sent me the final installation invoice, which included paying for all these loose ends, even though they were never completed. Christian insists he is correct in his billing practices and that I am misinformed. I am turning the issues over to the CA Licensing Board for their help as Christian has not followed through to finish the contracted project. He has forced me to get others to finish a job he was suppose to complete. I am extremely worried about this contractor. Christian keeps demanding money for work not completed. Sadly, Christian has breeched my contract. The work that was completed is pretty. When Christian wasn't on site, all went smoothly and hiccups were addressed and resolved. When Christian showed up (thankfully only a few days during the entire job) everything became difficult with excuses for the hiccups, no fixes to resolve the hiccups. I give 2.5 stars to this establishment overall, 5 stars for Christian's employees (Hahns and Bart), sadly 0 stars for owner Christian.

The workers were all very professional on time and did excellent quality work. Christian and his team were always responsive to my questions and concerns and completed the job exactly as promised. The pictures speak for themselves, thanks again guys.

    Our 70's kitchen was old, cramped, and inefficient, desperately needing a major makeover. Edward…read moreDean Design & Build sent project manager Taylor and designer Callie out for our initial consultation, and we knew we had found our team. They discussed our wants and needs for the somewhat challenging space and came up with creative solutions to achieve them. They were a joy to work with! Taylor often came on-site to inspect ongoing work. He kept the project organized and the trades well coordinated. His communication with us was outstanding, and he was always responsive to our questions and requests. Having Callie on board as our designer was a game changer. She made the process very collaborative, taking great care to understand our vision for the space and to help us choose the perfect materials and features. Edward, the owner, stopped by several times to check progress and to ensure our satisfaction. And we appreciated crew member Carlos, who was a constant cheerful presence in our home throughout the entire project. This team created the beautiful and highly functional kitchen we were hoping for! They will definitely be our go-to company for our future projects.

    Edward Dean Design & Build completed a pretty sizable remodel for us last Spring in our 1920s…read morehouse. Initially, we had LOFTY goals of a second story renovation and an ADU in the backyard. EDDB helped us with design and permits for everything, but in the end, we could only afford the first floor renovation, which involved taking some walls down, a TON of fresh electrical, brand new kitchen, new floors, retexturing of quite a few walls, and adding in some pretty arches. The guys all did a great job and Edward/Taylor were very kind/funny along the way. One thing we really appreciated is that they didn't give up on us when we continuously changed the scope of our project due to budget. We all worked together to figure out what we COULD accomplish. Hopefully when we win the lottery, we can finally have them finish all of our other permitted projects!

    CA Earthquake retrofit. Zak is one of three contractors…read moreEarthquake Brace and Bolt, a CA agency, has verified as a certified earthquake retrofit specialist in the city of San Diego, California. The EB&B program provides lower income households a no fee grant to help with the expense of a homeowner retrofit. Zak Zapara outperformed in every way, from our first contact. My home was built in the 1920's, with a small crawlspace. When Zak and I first spoke, I explained this detail, and to my surprise, he did agree to look over the house. We agreed on a time and date, and Zak arrived as scheduled. He came prepared, and maneuvered under the house, taking photos and inspecting the the house and foundation. He continued, taking photos of my home's exterior and water heater;all of this before the contract was signed. Just seeing the amount of pre-work Zak completed before the estimate, I knew the contract estimate would be very close in price-no costly overruns. I was right, the signed contract equaled the exact amount at end of project. The entire process went seamlessly. Zak is knowledgeable and very present with a friendly affect. Zak took care of all documentation EB&B requested. He continuously communicated, returning all messages within a day. I am a happy homeowner who looks forward to hiring Aloha Pacific Builders and Zak in the future.

I couldn't have been happier with how smoothly the project went. As far as I'm concerned, Zak is my contractor, and I've used him for other jobs around my house. He's honest, he responds quickly to any texts or calls, and when the work is done, I'm always more than happy with the results. Besides, he's always friendly and upbeat. What more could anyone ask for?
