Saying Omar the Handyman is good at his job is like saying Taylor Swift and Steph Curry are good at…read moretheirs. We had him tackle a significant makeover and paint job on our 122 year old cottage. Omar's bid was a good 20% higher than #2. We chose him because of how clearly he talked the details, from paint chemistry for a salt air climate to the right way to replace those old cedar shingles. He also had a new kitchen window created from scratch to match the ones in the rest of the old house. Over the 3 - 4 week project, Omar and his crew invariably left the place immaculate, no clutter, no mess. The answer to nearly ever request was "Yes, we can do that." While they are not cheap, the tab for all of the extras we asked for was fair. And we have no doubt that the work will hold up very well. When you think about how valuable your home is, why would you not hire the best in the business to fix whatever is wrong with it? The property will appreciate, and pay you back 10X over.

If you are looking for custom cabinets, do yourself a favor and get a quote from Brayan. We did the…read morehomework so you don't have to. Here is how the numbers stacked up for our massive project: * Porcelanosa: ~$400,000 (for semi-custom) * Other Cabinet Shops: $250,000 (for the kitchen only) * Brayan & Team: $200,000 (Whole House: Kitchen, Pantry, and all Baths) Why you should hire them: The quality is the real deal--solid, sturdy, true custom work. This isn't the "flashy showroom" stuff that feels flimsy; it's built to last. If you have a vision saved on Houzz or Pinterest, they can build it. Once fabrication and installation started, they moved quickly and the final result is beautiful. The "Real Talk" on the process: It's a very small operation (basically Brayan and his cousin), so you aren't paying for a project manager or a receptionist. Because of that: * Be prepared to follow up: The front end is slow. It takes a lot of nudging and multiple follow-ups to get your drawings in hand. * Watch the design details: Their drawings focus on the "bones" and don't always show the specific door designs. For example, our refrigerator panels arrived with only the borders and no center design--something we weren't thrilled with, but also wasn't explicitly detailed in the sketches. * Minor Quirks: If you are hyper-detail-oriented, you might notice a small thing (like a shelf pin hole a hair off), but nothing that affects the overall aesthetic. The Verdict: Once we understood their process and took an active role in the communication, the relationship was great and the workflow smoothed out. If you want true custom cabinets without the $200k "luxury markup" and you're okay with a slower, hands-on start, this is the crew. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

We were quoted nearly DOUBLE what Velasco quoted us. Chris came out within 24 hours, walked the property with us and was able to provide a clear plan of action. He showed up on time and his crew of guys had nearly one acre of land looking nice again within two days! The oak tree was cut down and the stump ground down for safety, the chicken coop was weeded and all debris removed, and they even planted grass seed for us on our upper lawn that had been damaged by gopher holes. Chris is friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to reach out again a few weeks later just to make sure the grass was growing in. We will definitely be using them again when we're ready for new landscaping projects!

Chris Velasco the owner stopped by and as we discussed the project i became comfortable that he knew what I wanted and could begin the 2 day job within a couple of weeks. We quickly agreed on the cost and terms and the job was completed as promised. Chris as well as his employees were very professional, clean and well educated on the work that had to be done. Chris himself would explain the process as the different steps took place. I can highly recommend his services. I would definitely use his services again.
