He promptly returned all of my phones calls, communication was a breeze, he came out right away to give me and estimate ON TIME, emailed me the same day with the estimate, and was in line $$ with other bids. I called 4 companies to bid my excavation project and he was the only one I would consider hiring.

Brandon and his crew were a God-send after a slew of horrific contractor interactions my husband…read moreand I had over the last few years. They worked on our property quite a few times - replacing irrigation systems, installing new pipes, and replaced a water pressure gauge. They've also worked inside our home, replacing drywall, and moving a gas and water line in our laundry room. Every time they've been out, they've been on time, worked non-stop, and left the yard and house clean and in order. Brandon is very responsive and answered any questions I had, while also offering suggestions as to what we need. Brandon isn't pushy, offers reasonable pricing, and follows up after work has been done. I highly recommend Butler engineering. You won't be disappointed!

I have watched this guy, Jason, construct a modular home on Via Ladera…read more It took him 8 months straight including Christmas Day to build a dirt pile to set it on. Now it is taking him another month to level outside the house. There is no concrete under the structure so it literally sits on dirt. He is rude, and discourteous to the neighbors. He does not care how much noise he makes or what time he is making it which causes disruption to everyone. He constantly complains that he needs money and has no money. He sends insulting emails to the president of the street and threatens people (he has no proof) who, he believes have turned him into the county. He is not a pleasant neighbor. He manipulates and lies. If he has been in business for 20 years, as he claims, where is the evidence? Don't trust Jason Blake.

I contacted HOCOA based on the feedback on Yelp. I needed some plumbing help. In the past, I've…read moredone most of my own plumbing work whenever I needed to run new lines or repair leaks, etc. Not just because I'm cheap (I am), but because I've got the tools and the know-how. But as I've gotten older, my tolerance for working on my back in dark areas where my weakening eyesight gets in the way has diminished considerably. All I needed was a garbage disposal installation. My thought as I called was, "This ain't gonna be very high on a plumber's daily worklist. I'll be lucky to have anyone even return my call." I got a call back within the hour and they got the information. The plumber called me shortly and we set up an appointment for the next day. The work was fast (why shouldn't it be?) and excellent, and the price was right (less than half what the big guys would charge). I am very happy with the outcome, and with the whole experience. Even though my need was a small one, I feel I got the attention any customer deserves. I will not hesitate to contact HOCOA first when I need work done in the future.

If you're looking for a handyman who can literally do it all, look no further. I have hired Cody…read moremany times to help me with various projects. Recently, he transformed my 3-bedroom home, preparing it for rent, and truly made it shine like new. His expertise ranges from perfect painting with expert color matching to intricate appliance repairs and installations. He's a wizard at bathroom and kitchen remodeling, plumbing repairs, fixture and fan all done with with a craftsman's touch. He has also worked on my automatic garage door, electronic locks throughout the property, floor repairs, electrical and plumbing and flawless cabinet installations. But what sets Cody apart is his dedication and commitment. When a rare hurricane threatened Southern California, he was more than just a handyman; he was a guardian. On very short notice, he drove through the rain, miraculously securing sandbags when they were nowhere to be found in the county. Working into the evening, he ensured my property was water-tight and protected from flooding. It was a display of professionalism and care that went well beyond the call of duty. Cody's technical skills are matched only by his personal qualities. He is the epitome of kindness and trustworthiness, qualities that are rare and invaluable. His demeanor not only brings peace of mind but also adds a personal touch to his excellent work. I cannot recommend him highly enough for any job, big or small. He's not just a handyman; he's a lifesaver, a problem solver, and truly the best person you could hope to work with. Whether it's a routine fix or an unexpected emergency, he's the one you want on your side. I wish I could give 10 stars!

In late 2019, we had a flood in our master bathroom that (like many people) was the primer for a…read morefull-blown remodel. It was time to upgrade our gross 1980's shower and cheap vanity from the previous house flip. We turned to MOST Construction of Carlsbad for full design and remodel construction services and they did not disappoint! From the early scoping, contracting and through the design process, Pernille and Morten were very professional and understanding of our vision. The contracting process was very detailed to ensure all work was accounted for, and Pernille provided numerous design drawings for us to work with. Being our first bathroom remodel, we were unaware of the amount of planning and subcontractors that would be involved. Along the way, MOST provided recommendations for vendors with the experience to match our vision. Construction began with a minor hiccup when a small leak occurred in the subfloor below the shower, but this was due to an existing hole in our drain pipe. This was no fault to MOST construction, but Morten promptly mitigated this and repaired the minor drywall damage. Talk about great service! From thereon everything was a breeze! Their workers were courteous and showed up on time each day and kept the workspace as clean as possible. Their tile tradesman Sal is a true artisan! Following the framing and hotmop of the shower pan, Sal built a traditional mortar bed tile job with custom niches and gorgeous bordering. He took his time to make sure the end product was flawless, and I appreciate that level of skill. Pernille coordinated with the Countertop Company of San Marcos to have the vanity and shower dam slab cut and installed. We handled the glasswork (shower door, backlit mirror) ourselves with Cast Glass Images of San Marcos. Everything went smoothly with drywall, electrical and finish plumbing installation. In the end, MOST Construction was a pleasure to work with. They are a team of true professionals and they will be my go-to general contractor for quotes on my next major remodeling job!

We had a fairly small project and were having trouble finding a company willing to take our project on. We wanted to install french doors for our home office where prior there was a huge doorway opening with no doors. Pernille was great to work with, offering design suggestions and showing us photos of similar work so we could get a good picture of what to expect. Once our doors were ordered (through General Millworks), MOST scheduled their installation to coordinate with the door delivery. They worked very efficiently, completing the job in a couple of days (other companies told us the job could take up to 2 weeks!). They also kept the space very tidy and clean. We are thrilled with the way they turned out!

Nate consulted with me over the phone and brainstormed ways to resolve the issues more effectively (and less costly) than others suggested. On the day of the job, he arrived exactly on time, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and got to work right after confirming the plan with me and making sure I was comfortable with everything. He and his worker/friend (who was also great) worked quickly and made sure to communicate any issues immediately. I felt informed and involved in the problem-solving effort, and I was very glad to see Nate take time to fully explain any deviations and offer suggestions. Additionally, Nate and Chris' good spirits and humor lasted the entire time they were here, and it was wonderful to hear them crack jokes and have fun together while working. The end result was also awesome. I was relieved to see all our closets redone PROPERLY and to my satisfaction. I'm so happy to have found Nate and will absolutely be working with him again in the future. Great, dependable handymen are so hard to find!
