However, in this case I'm doing it to save someone from making the wrong choice, when there's always other reputable businesses to choose from. So, Run. I'm serious: RUN, don't walk, AWAY from this company. I had not only one, but two separate visits from the owner of this company, Greg Alexander, and then received a very detailed estimate for the work to be done on my Limestone Flooring. Flooring, I will add, that I have regularly maintained for years. So, i'm more than familiar with the process in maintaining it. Although I wasn't thrilled to have the work done over my July 4th weekend, I accepted his fair offer; the promise of a job well done; attention to detail; his "previously positive" Yelp reviews --And that it would be completed in one day. (Because in the past, it has always been a 2 day job --At least a second day to return to seal the stone.) I trusted him. I trusted his word. I trusted he would do the work outlined in an agreed upon bid?!? --I WAS WRONG! July 3rd started with me personally, @7am) removing all the furniture on the flooring, and then waiting for the crew to arrive --They didn't show 'till 10:30am. I even joked that it was going to be a lot of work, or a long day to get it all done in one day; starting at this time. Regardless, the team started masking the recently installed new base boards, and begun to prep the job. I kindly pointed out, as Greg had asked me to do, the different areas that needed attention: A loose tile, missing grout, some etching, and a few holes that were to be filled, etc... (ALL of which was in the bid, and actuality on the document they brought to the job.) They then mentioned to me that all the new baseboards would need to be masked off for protection, and that there were a lot of corners that would need to be done by hand. Again, okay, and yes, that's how it has always been done in the past. --And, again, this wasn't a surprise, and was also discussed with Greg. I began to get the feeling that the guys we're thinking, as I was too, that they might not get this all done in one day... The next thing I know, they are on the phone with Greg and someone else; saying how they were concerned that in order to get the job done "correctly" they would need more time, or that they could split the job, or that Greg could come back the next day (Which is July 4th by the way) and finish, or some other strange scenario. And then I'm suddenly on some surreal conference call with Greg and his "Manager," and it's weirdly being turned back on me, as if I was expecting something that wasn't agreed upon. -Which was utter nonsense, and I called them out on that several times --That's when I could even get a word in on this "impromptu conference call" taking place at my house to discuss a job that had already been estimated not only once, but twice, and had a detailed bid... --Wasting time, frustrating me, not getting the job started, and getting me quite upset. --So unprofessional, it's beyond! What were they trying to do, I wondered? Is this some type of "bait & switch" tactic? It felt like they were literally trying to get me upset, because they wanted to get out of the job --And it quickly became obvious that there was more than just a miscommunication between Greg and his workers, and what needed to be done to make this right. --Which they weren't even trying to do. They could care less that they messed up my holiday weekend, we're being entirely unprofessional, or even trying to find a way to make this "right." (Whatever that was...) Because, again, there was nothing to "make right"?!?!? Just do the job that was discussed, and literally itemized in the bid, in your hand! --And as I said too many times to deaf ears: "Do the work detailed in the bid, and we're good to go..." Nothing more, nothing less... They didn't care. They really didn't care, or took any profession responsibility. They wanted to find a way to walk away, and walk away they did; leaving me with an uncompleted job over a scheduled holiday weekend. I still can't figure out if this was a way to get me to pay more money, or the guys didn't have the time, or just how they operate --But I can tell you it was beyond disrespectful, completely unprofessional, and I would seriously advise you to contact any number of local & reputable floor companies before considering this company. It appeared they had many "previous" good yelp reviews, but apparently many years ago. --Don't be fooled. Here's one from today! Trust me! Lesson Learned -RUN AWAY!

SHHH!!! "Local's Only Granite place"…read more In the little town of Guadalupe, just kidding behind Santa Maria, you can find this local granite place. I found this hidden place by the kind referral by the Arroyo Grande granite place. What sets it apart is the Customer Service & wide choices of remnants... if you happen to find a piece that suits your little project they are a bargain. They also do fabrication & have a little cute shop where you can plan the big projects. They are far more friendly than the Nipomo granite place, but have fewer choices... but better prices. Veronica L. was friendly, helpful, & knowledgable...even though I just picked-up just a small perfect piece of granite for very little bucks. It just happened to be 1 foot wide & about 16 inches deep which fit perfectly width wise. The front side was already polished & the back jagged side is now hidden by kitchenware. It just fit a gap in my weird assortment of remnants that cover much of the crappy old white tile with aging grout in my kitchen. My wife was very pleased with the color of the granite which just so happened to be complimentary to the next piece. Since I also just found a fabulous local Santa Maria fabricator who can either join up my random assortment into something joined/ epoxied that looks better. He also has the same idea as me as to possible breakup the random pieces & make a mosaic type of counter filed with dark grout that would be really cool looking & quite cheap. He said he did a similar thing with his bathroom wall. Definitely worth a stop, while you explore the area...like Dunes Park & getting a snack at King Falafel, while you explore the small former Japanese town of Guadalupe on wonder Hwy 1.

The ladies running the countertops and painting departments were really nice and got me scheduled for paint and countertops. I ended up hiring a painter before our painting appointment came. Countertop person came over to measure and he informed me that there would be a fee of $150 to get a quote. It was an automatic turn off. No other companies do this. It should have been mentioned before we even booked the appointment. He gave me a ballpark number that was at least 7k to 10k over the company I intend to use. Appointment was a waste of time. Don't recommend you fall for the same thing I did. Look elsewhere

Reliable and Honest We are very satisfied with Ranch Hands…read moreConstruction quality of work. They began by repairing termite rot and damage to our 1909 craftsman home in Santa Barbara. The deck fascia, supporting beams and headers, all needed to be repaired or replaced. After several bids from various general contractors, Jean-Claude with RHC gave the most thorough and comprehensive bid. He took the time to explain and break down the process of each scope of work. The 5 scopes of work were then priced separately allowing us to decide according to our budget and needs. Although not the cheapest bid, it was worth getting the job done right. The Ranch Hands Construction crew were competent, prompt, hard working and respectful. Obviously RHC take pride in their work, going the extra mile and paying attention to details. It was refreshing to see camaraderie and teamwork amongst their coworkers. After their initial work, we hired Ranch Hands to reroof a backyard cottage, and rebuild the railings on our front deck. Again, we were very impressed with RHC work. The jobs were all within the original estimate, and the work was completed in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend RCH for most any construction job. It's difficult to find honesty, reliability and quality work. Thank you for the help.
