Javier flipped my kitchen and two bathrooms. His guys were good with framing but terrible with…read moreplumbing. In the upstairs bathroom, they had a problem with the toilet flange, and then poof! Problem solved! 5 years later, the flange was leaking and the ceiling downstairs is dripping. The toilet was glued to the floor with RTV and that was hiding a massive leak! Turns out they shoved in two wax rings on top of each other, and there was a cone that restricted the drain down to about 3". The cone prevented a flush from dropping immediately down the drain, and the wax ring sandwich leaked! The cone also caused a lot of clogs over the years. Now I have an almost $6,000 plumbing repair, I have to patch my ceiling, and I have a mold issue! There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it twice! I also found old cans of Modelo in my attic after the flip!

From concept to completion, Javier and his team were nothing short of on time, on point and 100% collaborative - from incorporating my want of vintage fixtures to caring for complicated old walls to designing a custom pet door - I'm Beyond thrilled with my new kitchen and back deck on my small craftsman and a receive over the top compliments from anyone who walks in the door. In fact I'm going to work with Javier and team again on my next project next year. Highly reccomend!

Antonio is one of the worst contractors I've hired. He charged about 50% above market for gutter…read morecleaning, then used a high-pressure water gun on my roof -- which stripped off the shingle surface, clogged my entire drainage with shingle dust, and even damaged the roof paint. I only discovered the mess when my gardener spent two hours unclogging it. The proper way would've been to clean by hand first, then rinse gently, but Antonio clearly didn't care to do things right. He also ignored my messages afterward, showing zero accountability. If he can't even handle gutter cleaning properly, I wouldn't trust him with anything bigger. I found him based on glowing 5-star reviews, but after this, I seriously question how real those reviews are.

They also installed recessed ceiling lights for us. Antonio was great to talk to, talked through ideas and was good on timing. The person who did the work was careful, cleaned as he went, and was pleasant to interact with. Everything was done well and the costs were reasonable. We would use them again for any other work we might do.

I reached out to Pedro on behalf of a property that I manage. He was very quick and thorough with…read morehis inspection and he provided a detailed line item of work to be done. Added bonus, he recommended for the exterior to be repainted too which I highly appreciate. The recommendation came with an estimate as well as photos of areas where there are concern. The work for both inside and outside was fast but the work was thorough. I have no complaints. I should also say Pedro's estimates were the lowest price out of three different estimates I got. I am already looking forward to using his service with all the other properties that I manage. Thank you, Pedro, for the efficient, quality work!

We just had him paint our exterior and this looks fantastic too! He is really reliable on getting work done in the estimated time and his estimates are fair and accurate.

Luis Ovalle is fantastic! He is knowledgeable about his craft, uber-courteous, professional, and…read moreincredibly hard working. I'm not sure if he's considered to be a contractor, handyman, or project manager -- but he's definitely a jack-of-all trades: from plumbing, door re-hinging, and other general purpose home repair work. He really makes the effort to do careful, high-quality work. One plumber surveyed the job that this duplex required (i.e., cutting through sheetrock, cleaning out the pipes that connected 2 apartments), and said it would take him 7 hours and he would need back-up assistance. No thanks. Luis came by himself pronto when he got my call (on a Saturday ... during memorial day weekend). He went to work straight away, and wrapped things up in 2.5 hours, neat as can be. I doubt he got to each lunch that day, but he wouldn't even stop to eat or drink what I offered! This guy is on the up and up. Highly recommended.

Sergio roofed our house 2 years ago. We have a high two story with different rooflines and high…read moreceilings. He and his crew were remarkably fast and efficient. We never knew when they were on the roof because they worked so quietly we only saw them when they passed the windows to come and go. Sergio is knowledgeable, easy to work with and gives fair prices for everything he does. He also replaced a large leaking plastic skylight which he thought should be replaced with glass because it would last 'forever.' He even picked it up for us since we don't have a truck. He introduced us to cool roofs that we are especially thankful for in hot weather. And as he warned us, the house can get chilly in the winter, but we just bundle up a little more. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent, trustworthy roofer with an engaging personality!

The quality of the work of the subcontractors he brought on was excellent too, especially the electrician, wallpaper installer, and cabinet maker.

For us he designed and created a beautiful bathroom in the basement. He created additional rooms and living space as well without increasing the square footage of our house. Additionally he worked seamlessly with contractors who had made some mistakes on previous work. Throughout the job he kept us up on the work and on issues he discovered for which he advised us carefully and honestly on issues you might find in a 100 year old house. AND he is a sweet and serious man who maintains connection with his customers.

They had a SEVERE LACK OF RESPECT FOR OUR HOME. - Lost keys on 2 occasions (we found them on the front porch and back porch, he claims since I found them, he didn't lose them) - Left doors unlocked on 3 occasions ( he claims it was not his crew, that it was my housemates, but twice were on the night he lost the keys and once when the house was empty) - Front gate open 2 times, this is a busy street in Berkeley, so people just walk in - Windows left open 2 times along with a long ladder 15' away from the open windows. - Did not cover our beautiful original hard wood floors with tarp (except when they used MY window curtains), Domingo now says it was not his team, that it is old paint, NOT true! We had to wash the floors 2x's and the stager had remove the rest. - Left trash all over yard, work waste tossed on the ground from the porch, food waste thrown around the yard. - Team members left toilets un-flushed on 2 occasions! Did not discover until next day walk through (it was #2!!!!) disgusting! - Painted around a plant instead of moving the plant from porch (not kidding) he carefully painted around the plant on the porch so when we lifted it, there was a circle. - Left house debris on top of newly landscaped plants 2 times on the same day, after being told the first time they did it again, killed 3 of the newly landscaped plants, didn't replace them. - Over charged on add on items (shame on me for not getting price), he did not update his billing. When I brought to his attention, he added the work he forgot and we paid 2k more. I wanted to negotiate with him due to all of the issues we have had to deal with. He said that if I didn't want to pay he would put a lean on my house. - They did not have their own garbage bags for their own waste. I put garbage cans out for them. They never emptied them and we ended up getting fruit flies! - They tried to put paint cans in my recycling garbage 2 times - Used my duster handle for a paint stir-stick! - Domingo did NOT apologizing for the poor security but instead said "Did anything get stolen? No, then what is your point. All I hear is blah blah blah." (Yes he actually said that!). I told him that I was very disappointed with him but he could care less. I guess he has enough work. I live an hour and a half away so getting there to check on things would have been difficult. Thankfully I had someone watching the place for me! They were able to lock up and check on things. We had a project manager that we went through or we would have got rid of him. She ended up having to go by the house every night for a month to double check the house and yes, she found it unlocked after his brother was working in the afternoon. Overall a very negative experience! Blah blah blah
