    coop expansion
    Ra C.

    Joaquin is an exceptional and skilled handyman and carpenter. My chickens outgrew their coop, so I needed it to be expanded. I asked for great care to be taken to make sure that the entire coop expansion was predator-proof, including the bottom. Joaquin exceeded what I asked for, was meticulous in how he built it, communicated throughout the process, and provided a very reasonable quote that he stuck to. I couldn't be happier! I will definitely be hiring him for future work.

    Damaged pipe that Joaquin discovered behind the back of pantry shelf
    Karen V.

    We hired Kinos to inspect for possible leak behind our downstairs pantry. Joaquin quickly identified the location of the perforated pipe behind pantry that had been overlooked by builders. Additionally, he found the single upstairs sink that fed into piping and leaked water behind pantry every time it was turned on. Joaquin removed damaged pipe and added coupling to repair the leak. The work was performed with attention to detail and functionality. I cannot put into words the relief I felt when all of Joaquin's hard work was completed. Joaquin gave us a very good rate that was much less than we expected. I will hire him again in the future for other projects on the list.

    Joaquin was great came by gave a quote work on the project next day. Kitchen tile getting old help with getting laminate floor in kitchen and added shelve to cabinet. Great communication and friendly.

    I hired Joaquin to renovate the wooden fascia boards and garage door trim on my home in Hercules. He and his partner Jaime did an amazing job to prep or replace the boards and then to paint them. They arrived promptly, did the work quickly and at a very fair price. My wife and I are very please with the quality of their work, which will extend the life of these boards for many years to come. I hoghly recommend Joaquin for any handyman jobs you may have.

    Joaquin is an excellent handyman and a great communicator! Our faulty 6 year old dishwasher flooded our floor and baseboard/back wall of our kitchen. We were in a panic to get it fixed ASAP and our previous contractor was ghosting us, so in desperation I gambled on Joaquin. Who will now be my go to Handyman. He worked overtime to complete the job quickly, charged us a fair price and was very communicative throughout the process.

    Old flooring and walls with and without backsplash.

    Kinos and his team did fantastic on several jobs needed throughout our house. From repairing some cracks on the walls, fixing some stairs, repairing a door and then the largest project in our kitchen of putting in new flooring and backsplash, all was done with attention to detail. They are timely, honest and a kind team. It's so great to finely find a handyman for our home we can trust. We will continue to use them in the future for any needed repairs and projects.

    From initial bid to completion of outstanding workmanship, my experience with this professional…read morepainting contractor was stellar. Roberto has a keen eye for what needs to be addressed during the initial part of preparing house to paint. I could not be happier with his eye for detail and high caliber of prep work. He discussed every step from paint selection to a detailed list of what I wanted in this job. This is the first time I have ever had a home painted and he answered all my questions. I found this man to be very ethical, fair in his pricing and taking pride in his work that is becoming more uncommon than common. Roberto has a work integrity that exceeded expectation. He is local, is a citizen of the US, bilingual, conscientious and funny!!!! This experience was A+.

    I'd like to echo the previous reviews, and highlight the awesome job that Roberto did on our house…read morein Berkeley (exterior paint and trim). He meticulously preps all surfaces (power wash, seals, repairs cracks etc..) to make sure the house is leak tight, then rolls the paint and applies trim. His attention to details is second to none. We were on a tight schedule, and he did not hesitate to work long hours, 6 days/week to get the work done as needed. Like Roberto said: he painted our house like it was his. He is very responsive, flexible, and efficient, and he communicates very effectively. We couldn't have chosen a better craftsman for our house.

I selected Felix because of the details of the quote that includes the prep work, paint used, number of coats applied and the warranty. They are also licensed and insured. That saves a lot of back and forth questions and answers between me and the contractor. Prep work & On time: Once I paid the deposit, the job was scheduled within 2 weeks (during Christmas/New Year season). The painters were polite and arrived on time. They are thorough with the prep work. The job was done in a bit over two days. Follow up: After the paint was done and final payment made, we noticed there were some touch up work needed. They provided update every day on when the painter could come and they came on time within couple days. Whereas I do have experience with other contractors when I could not find them for couple months to finish last 5% of the job. Headache free experience (project completed through text): They are impressive, reliable, the whole job was completed without a single phone call (only through text and online payment). Highly recommended if you want headache free painting experience.

When I received multiple bids for the job, I was happy to find that his pricing was fair and he stuck to it, which meant there were no surprises or negotiation involved. Enrique's dedication to his work was apparent from the beginning, and he made sure that we were happy with the final outcome. He would check in with us daily to ensure we were satisfied with the progress and asked for our input on any decisions that needed to be made. His suggestions were great, and he even gave us advice on which trim pieces would look best in the accent color and which ones would not. The quality of the work was outstanding, and Enrique made sure to paint even the little areas behind the facade that we would never have seen. The job was completed thoroughly, and the paint job was flawless. Enrique and his partner were incredibly tidy and left no mess behind after each day of work. I highly recommend Enrique and his company, Prado Pro. He exceeded all of our expectations, and we are just so happy with the job. It can be tough to find a professional, committed, and skilled contractor, so you're lucky to have found him. Your search for an exceptional painter can end here!

I look around, and I think, well, it's a little bit smaller now. You know, I realize it's just the thickness of the paint, but I'm aware of it". - Jerry Seinfeld da Scene: comp appraisal changed to on-site so we needed to paint QUICK. While we handled the interior ourselves, wanted the exterior trim and front door done, they were in pretty rough shape. Got 3 estimates and Cesar from Escamilla's was reasonable for an estimated 2 day job. Seemed to be most through and personable - I trust my gut, trust factor very important! da Work: Jose, Cesar and 2 other crew spent 1st day prepping surfaces and laying down primer/ 1st coat. Cleaned up EOD and was back early next day to finish up, were done shortly after noon. Meticulous, tight, quality, quick work. Couldn't be happier! da Service: Responded quickly via Projects in Yelp!, Then followed up with on-site visit, formal email quote, and keeps txt comms going throughout. I threw in a couple small change orders and they still finished up early. Cesar, Jose & crew were professional and jovial... you can tell when folks enjoy their craft - they took the appropriate time to prep and laid down great paint with pride. Were thinking about an exterior color change this spring and it will definately be Jose Escamilla!!

    We were in the market to repaint our hundred-year-old Craftsman home, and to be honest, we were…read moreextremely cautious. About ten years ago, we had a very poor experience with a painter who used improper preparation materials and techniques that were not suitable for a home of this age and type of wood siding. We ended up stopping the project midway and settling for a basic paint job from someone else just to move on. This time, we wanted our home properly repaired and thoughtfully restored. After watching a neighbor's home be beautifully prepped and painted by Level Five Painting, we were genuinely impressed and decided to reach out. The owner, Juan, came out for a walk-through and quote. He was gracious, knowledgeable, and patient with all of our questions. We immediately felt we could trust him and didn't feel the need to get other quotes. Our home was assigned to the project manager, Ivan, along with Juan and Daniel, who handled the preparation and painting. They spent about three weeks -- Monday through Saturday; meticulously sanding, repairing, priming, and painting. We were blown away by Juan and Daniel's work ethic. They worked incredibly hard, stayed focused, and treated our home and property with the utmost respect. Every day, they left the worksite clean, organized, and well cared for. Ivan was wonderful to work with as he was responsive, communicative, and present throughout the project. He checked in frequently, answered our questions quickly, and made sure everything stayed on track. What truly set this team apart was their deep knowledge of their craft and the pride they take in their work. Their level of professionalism, skill, and work ethic is something that, sadly, feels increasingly rare these days. It was refreshing to work with a team that genuinely cares about doing things the right way. The final result exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only did they revive our Craftsman home, but they also corrected many of the issues left behind from prior poor workmanship. Our home now looks refreshed, cohesive, and truly ready for its next chapter. Because of the quality of their work and the trust they earned, we've already booked Level Five Painting for our next project -- preparing and staining the interior wood trim throughout our home. We highly, highly recommend Level Five Painting.
