Ricardo responded in a timely manner, scheduled an on site visit of my project and submitted a detailed quote that included payment milestones.

I highly recommend Ricardo Rivas and his team for exterior stucco projects, and will definitely use them in the future.

They were professional and thorough from the initial visit, and even though I waited a few months to schedule the work, they honored the original quote without issue. Installation was quick and efficient. When the moulding didn't match my existing one, they replaced it with something much closer. They also followed up after the job and coordinated with an Anlin technician to fix a few minor issues. And they worked well alongside other contractors I had on-site, which made things much easier. Overall, they honored their word at every step, were easy to work with, and delivered quality results. I'd definitely recommend them.

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.

Installed my gutters and then left me hanging on adjustments. We were promised to have adjustments…read morecovered for some period of time after install. Immediately after install, the gutters leaked. No big deal, as I imagine it happens from time to time. The issue is that they dodged my phone calls and emails repeatedly. They kept pushing back their availability for weeks at a time. Months go by and they're never available to come out and do a very small adjustment. They're usually not even available to return a call or email. We ended up having another contractor come to adjust the gutters. Paid out of pocket. Update: It seems necessary to provide a timeline of what is being referred to as "availability". I'd also argue that a "good install" is not one that has a leak in the exact same spot as the original system that caused damage to my deck. 08/02: We send initial email requesting adjustment 08/05: Stutzman response: Can send someone out after the 10th and will confirm a date later on. 08/11: No update from Stutzman. I send follow up email indicating that we're available this week as Stutzman indicated he should be available as well. 08/12: Stutzman response: We're out of town. Will follow up when back in office. 08/15: Stutzman response: Maybe available next week 08/20: We send a text message, no response 08/22: We send email asking for follow up 08/23: We call and leave a voicemail 08/26: Stutzman response: We're working on a job for two weeks. We can come out after that. I will reach out when I'm available. 08/28: We send email. No response 08/28: We leave a voicemail. No response 09/23: We leave a voicemail. No response 09/25: We send an email. No response 10/03: Stutzman response: We might be in your area next week. At no point was an actual date set in the two months that we attempted to get help. We either received no response from Stutzman, or were given the run-around. If Stutzman had simply set a date to come out, this issue could have been resolved, but no availability was ever offered. The 1-star review is indicative of a job that didn't solve our original problem and poor customer service. Both of which could have easily been handled and changed the outcome of this review.

It's a lot like owning a boat but I love the place. The exterior is covered with shake singles. They've been rotting and have provided a constant source of yummy food for the termites for many years. I have had several handymen and painters that promised they'd rehabilitate the shingles. Either they don't fix all the shingles or they do a bad job. I had almost given up. I found Excel Siding on "Thumbtack" I think. Finally I got someone that knows what they're doing. It wasn't cheap but l could see it was a lot of work. The inexpensive guys (handymen and painters) didn't charge much but didn't the job done either. So I'm happy with these guys and in a couple years (good grief) I'll probably have to hire them again.
