OH BOY, STUCCO BOY!…read more I met with Jereme (the owner of Stucco Boy/Builder Boy) to discuss an exterior refinishing project. We've got some TEX-COTE that the prior owners added that is failing and in need of repair. To their credit, Jereme is knowledgeable about TEX-COTE and the company even has a landing page on their website describing how to fix a failing application. They offer services to repair and re-apply, and Jereme mentioned this would be an option for us, in addition to a more involved re-plastering. Jereme said he'd break out different options for us. Despite Jereme's demeanor coming off a bit slick and salesy, them being a local company with experience with TEX-COTE gave me some confidence. I received a proposal that I felt was reasonably priced. Before selecting the company for my project, I had some follow-up questions I asked the office staff via email regarding coordinating the project with other work being done-namely a re-roof project that I'd be undertaking. After a little back-and-forth, Jereme called me directly. I was able to ask my questions about coordination with the roofing company, and he put my mind at ease. He described how the roofing company would handle tear-off and paper the roof, and then Stucco Boy would come in and water blast and prep. He was pretty specific about his recommendations and that fully addressed my questions. He said that I'd be able to put them into contact with the roofer to work out the specifics and "when roofing companies hear that, they are relieved"-indicating to me that there'd be a proactive direct coordination that would help streamline the process. WONDERFUL! After receiving HOA approval for the project, I reached out to Builder Boy and said I'd like to proceed with them. I followed up with a few questions including one about timing and order of operations to coordinate with the roofing and solar to take place (roughly, at this point) in January. The responses I got from the office staff to my questions were different than what Jereme had indicated; instead of coordinating with the roofers, they said that it would be better for them to do their work after the roofers had completed. There was some back-and-forth where I tried to reconcile the differences in the office staff's answers/recommendations of doing work after everything else was done and what Jereme had indicated to me on our earlier phone call. Two days after not hearing anything back, I received a phone call from Jereme. He indicated to me that he'd heard from his team that I was "frustrated" and that I had taken an "aggressive tone" with his staff and he hoped to understand my frustration but also see if there was a path forward. He indicated that he cares about his staff; the implication he was stepping in to shield them from unfair treatment. I told him that I was confused, and asked if he'd read the emails-my hope was to ensure we were on the same page about what my issue actually was and for me to understand what about my correspondence was "aggressive." He replied he'd "skimmed" the email-so I asked him if I'd be able to read it to him--much of my confusion stemmed from what the office staff was suggesting and how it was much different than what Jereme had indicated regarding coordinating steps with the roofing company. He responded "I get it, you're a good guy" as if my primary intent in reading him the email to was somehow clear my name, and he followed up with "I'd rather not live in the past and instead just move forward." Wait, seriously?! You imply I'm mistreating your staff, you're only vaguely aware of what my issue actually is and when I attempt to talk in specific terms about either of those things you suddenly want to "move forward"? I tried to explain to Jereme the disconnect, and how the staff's recommendation wasn't what he and I had discussed earlier, so I was confused. He said "it can be done either way" and "it's up to the customer"- but kept insisting that his staff was correct in their suggestion without acknowledging it was different than what he himself earlier had suggested, and that was the source of my confusion. The whole time it felt like Jereme was trying to gaslight me, and whenever I tried to be specific about our conversation or clarify what my issue actually was, he'd deflect and say dismissively "it's up to you; just tell us when to show up and we'll be there." I was pretty floored at this point and couldn't shake the feeling that I was getting hustled by this guy. I knew that as he kept insisting he wanted to "move forward" without actually talking about the nature of the problem, it was a sign that this wasn't the kind of company, and Jereme the kind of person, I could trust. So I calmly told him that it was clear to me it wouldn't be a good fit, he said "OK," and that was the extent of my experience with Builder Boy. Jereme: because you didn't bother reading the email exchange before, I posted it here for your convenience.

I needed to remodel my pantry / laundry space, so of course I called Fabian (he'd done great work…read morefor me before on some smaller projects). We talked through what I was looking for, he took measurements and gave me a very reasonable estimate. I was even able to add new floors in my kitchen and family room - he gets a good deal with his suppliers and they had exactly what I was looking for. Less than 2 weeks later they were done, and I LOVE IT!! The remodel went as well as one can go - you have to be prepared for wall dust, noise, and some disruption to your day. I work from home and the crew was very respectful and friendly. They did their best to contain the dust and noise, and they cleaned up at the end of each day. The crew did an amazing job! I would recommend Fabian and Avelar Remodeling to anyone looking to have work done around the house (big or small projects). I will definitely call Fabian again for any remodel or handyman work I need in the future. Just look how good my pantry / laundry area looks! And the floors! I love it!!!

They inspected our leaking dishwasher and garbage disposal, quickly diagnosed the issue, and completed the work efficiently. After receiving quotes from several other contractors--and dealing with two last-minute cancellations--I'm so glad we found Fabian. His pricing was fair and reasonable, especially in today's market, and the quality of his work exceeded our expectations. I will definitely use Fabian again for future projects and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and affordable handyman. Thank you, Fabian!

While they were at it, we also had them address some existing humidity damage and install a new exhaust fan. The results genuinely exceeded our expectations. They came in to fix someone else's work and the tile actually looks better now than it ever did before. This crew brought a level of attention to detail that the original install was missing, and everything is clean, precise, and clearly done with care. Beyond the quality of the work itself, the communication was outstanding. They kept us informed at every stage so we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. The whole team was courteous and professional throughout, and they kept a tidy job site the entire time, which I've come to genuinely appreciate after working with crews who don't prioritize that. When we were shopping around, we had other companies throw out outrageous quotes, some without even looking at the job first. This company gave us a fair, reasonable quote and then delivered work that was worth every penny. We're already planning to bring them back for some upcoming projects. Highly recommend.

I needed new carpet while I was out in California, and these guys got it done fast, at a fair price, and with great communication--mostly over text, which made my life a lot easier. But carpet's just the start. They're real pros when it comes to everything--flooring, painting, drywall, full remodels--you name it. It's rare to find a company you can trust with both the little stuff and the big jobs. If you're looking for high-quality work and a contractor who truly does it all, these are your people.

I highly recommend Robert Yenko Painting for exterior house painting…read more Robert was quick to respond to my initial request, assessed the property within a couple days (delays on my part, not his), and provided a super reasonable estimate later that day. Robert was professional, polite, and honest. We asked for a couple of extra handyman type repairs and he recommended other source since it is not his expertise. I appreciated his honesty. The job took about a week because he also painted my patio cover and replaced an exterior door. He takes pride in his work which results in high quality and a beautiful result at a reasonable price. He is also licensed and insured!
