Greetings Strangers on the internet! I'm taking the time to write out my entire experience with "Precision General Contracting" from start to finish. Luckily as you may have already guessed from my 5 stars review it was an entirely painless and stress-free process. I'll start off with my initial meeting with the Roof Evaluator a man named "John Scott". I can safely say that my entire conversation and evaluation with Mr. Scott was a delight, from the beginning he was an exceptional conversationalist and gave me (someone who was experiencing their first major Home maintenance project) not only an amazing price for the materials (Owens Corning Architectural Shingles, and Titanium Underlayment) for my two story 3450 Ish square foot home, but also talked me through the entire pricing process in order to make sure I knew where the price was actually coming from. Like all of you Homeowners should (If you haven't already) make sure you acquire at least 3 pricing estimates from separate companies in order to fully understand what exactly your project cost should be). I bring this up now because previously to acquiring my estimate from "Precision General Contracting" I acquired 2 previous quotes; 1 From "TIDAL Remodeling" and another from RC Roofing and my final quote from Precision General, I will leave the actual numerical values to the quotes blank (For personal Privacy) but I will say that TIDAL's quote was nearly Twice the amount from Precision General (The salesman responsible for selling me the roof was using my ignorance of my situation to his advantage at the time and trying to extract as much money from me as possible something that Mr. Scott did NOT do) Moving on, after acquiring the quote along with a great price for solar panel removal and reinstallation (Which unlike most other companies Precision has a qualified Subcontractor who does all their removal and installation needs), the actual job was scheduled for around 2 weeks later (which is generally fast for Roofing jobs such as this.) Now I will freely admit there was a little issue on the first day of the job, due to some misinformation from a weather app they had to postpone the start date by a day (Which is good considering even a small chance of rain when you entire roof has be torn off would cause tons of housing damage, there's no point in risking it!) What I will say is that the following 3 days (Which is all it took from start to finish) they worked were some of the hottest in my area, around 90- 95 degree cloudless sunny weather, and the workers still worked 8 Full hours and got everything done in an orderly and efficient manner, from the 1st day with the tear off and trash removal, including but not limited to 2 Layers of shingles, and around 200 feet of wood that needed to be torn out due to old water/ Termite damage. To the second day where they installed all the new wood Soffit / Fascia/ Drip Edge/ and the Titanium Underlayment, and the Third final day where they installed all the tiles in an efficient manner. (Something else I should mention would be that the workers would end every day by cleaning up all the trash and Debree from the workday, ensuring the grounds were as clean or more so than they found it.) Now here is where I would like to leave some advice for any and all peoples who plan to get a new Roof Installation, make sure you acquire the paint and primer before the job begins so you can paint all the wood before it is fully installed. (This will save you a ton of time and money in the future because although the workers do paint and prime the top half of all the new wood, it will be your responsibility to do the bottom half) another heads up that the Wood cost is in fact Extra because you never know how much you need until the roof itself has been checked from underneath the roofing material. (I am not entirely sure how much on average wood costs are in San Diego, but Precision did seem a tad pricy. But considering the great deal I got on the Roof itself I am entirely satisfied with the ending price) Besides the expeditious manner in with the job was done, I would also like to mention the Two employees of "Precision General Contracting" who not only helped me with any and all questions and concerns I had Before, During, and after the Project. The First would be a "Mr. Christian Strasser" who was the Foreman / Middleman for the entirety of the job, stopping by on sight or calling me for any issues or just to update my on the job itself, he also saved me the hassle of mailing or dropping off the payment (A Cashier's Check) to their address so I could acquire the receipts and Lien Wavers in an efficient and timely manner. Effectively going out of his way at the drop of a hat at times. The Second would be a Miss "Carly" who was the one who took care of all the incoming calls to the company, she made sure to not only answer every question I had to the best of her ability but also put up with my back-to-back calls whenev read more

I want to give a giant shoutout to Precision General Contracting. From the sales experience to the solar and window installation to the follow up, these guys were stellar. First, there was no high pressure sales pitch. They just explained what their product was and how it worked. The sales person (whose name I can't remember) was down to earth and straight forward. They even got me connected to the right financial institution for funding. I've wanted solar and new windows for a very long time, but couldn't afford them. With the plan I'm on I was able to swing it. Thank you Precision for connecting me. I didn't have much contact with the solar installers because most of their work was outside. But the installation was done in a real efficient way. The window installers were just amazing. I've interacted with lots of workmen doing work in my house and this team was really different than most laborers I've worked with. They were professional, courteous, accommodating and friendly, and they knew what they were doing. They went above and beyond by helping me with a couple of issues that weren't even related to the installation. And finally, the thing that prompted me to write this review; when they removed the old windows they very carefully placed the security sensors in a place where I could easily find them. When I spoke to my security company this morning we figured out that the security tech could re-install the sensors at no charge because the window crew had been so careful and thoughtful about putting the sensors where I could easily find them. Thank you Dan, Junior, Christian, Bobby, Jesus and all the rest of the crew. You guys are gentleman. And I couldn't end this review without mentioning Chris S. He's the person who oversaw everything. He took my calls almost all the time and when he couldn't he'd call me back quickly. He was able to answer all my questions. He's been helping me learn about how the solar panels work and what I need to do to make the system work smoothly. I also know I can call him any time I need his help. I am a researcher and we have a scale that consumers respond to to let us know what their experience is like with a product or service. This is the scale: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7 I - A Un- Satis- Excel- Delight- Love Hate- Fail- Satis- fact- lent. ful. It It. ure. Fact- tory tory I would rate my experience with Precision General Contractors as I LOVE IT! Thank you once again! read more

After a few weeks of research and a couple quotes, we called Precision and Anthony came out to hear our grand vision for a two story deck with a roof, a separate deck/staircase, and several external doors, including a custom bi-folding door. Let me start by saying the work done by PGC's crews is outstanding, as in better than I imagined. If you want something done as cheaply as possible that won't last or add beauty and value to your home, look elsewhere. These folks are quintessential professionals. Set your expectations high for the final product and you won't be disappointed. Do set your timeline expectations realistically however - proper engineering and permitting take time so don't expect them to be rushed, but once PGC unleashed David, Manny, Noel, Mike, Marty, Jeff, and a host of other amazing deck and door artists on my project, there was steady progress. Weather occasionally slowed things down, but only when it was clearly necessary. Progress was never rushed at the expense of quality either. Sincerely, Manny's attention to detail is so impressive that I want him to do my next shoulder surgery. Or tattoo. Maybe both. Was everything perfect right away? No, of course not but it was close, and this is where Precision General shines the brightest - their entire crew listens to their customers and refuses to just shrug their shoulders if something isn't exactly right. Everyone on site and everyone in the office handling planning and payments, like Katrina, Jenny, Taylor, and especially Samantha didn't ever (seem to, at least) tire of hearing from me with questions or requests for information. To a person, everyone at PGC is clearly focused on making absolutely certain that the reality of their work meets (or in my case exceeds) their customers' expectations and vision. TLDR: Precision General Contracting is a group of professionals who create beautiful work, are communicative, provide nonstop, sincere customer care, and are worth every penny and more. read more

Precision General Contracting has been absolutely phenomenal to work with, and I can't help but rave about my experience. Initially, my husband and I had seen multiple general contractors for our ideas about a new deck; and because we were a bit concerned about the complexity of our upcoming project, we wanted to ensure we made the right choice in who was going to be capable of turning our dreams into reality. Fortunately, we chose Precision for this task. We had the pleasure of meeting our project manager, David, who was extremely open and communicative about how the project would play out (and, might I mention, it advanced exactly as he said it would!). We were already feeling comfortable and grateful working with Precision at this point, and even felt the confidence to employ them to add a patio cover to go on top of our deck. We did have an issue at one point with the financing company we chose to utilize, and that did cause some confusion for us in how to proceed. Thankfully, every time we ever called in to Precision's main office, we were met with kindness, patience, and overall congeniality- so even during our times of confusion, Precision as a team was able to offer answers and guidance to make this entire process comfortable and of the utmost convenience for us. I would like to personally mention Precision's office manager, Samantha, as one of the most capable, knowledgeable, and helpful people I have ever had the pleasure of working with, and am so glad to have had my project in her hands. Every time I look outside I now see a gorgeous view exactly as I had imagined it to be. Thank you, Precision! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Precision General Contracting on our recent backyard remodel, and I can confidently say they provided an exceptional service from start to finish. David, our project manager, was a consummate professional, who managed every aspect of the job with meticulous attention to detail and a steady communication flow. This was not a small project, we completely removed and replaced our old deck, replaced all of our old windows, added a new insulated patio cover, turf, pavers, and a built in bbq. Despite the complexity, David and his team tackled it with ease, demonstrating their extensive knowledge and experience. They provided thoughtful solutions to unforeseen challenges, ensuring the structural integrity of our home remained intact. A highlight of the project was the installation of the large windows overlooking our backyard. Originally it was not possible. We really wanted that. David and the team did a lot of work to recalculate the structure and put a lot of effort on adding reinforcement support. The result has been nothing short of stunning and has brought a new level of ambiance to our kitchen. The entire team showed a high level of respect for our home, diligently cleaning up after each day's work. This professional conduct minimized disruption to our daily life and is greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Precision General, specifically David and his team, for any construction needs. Their exceptional skill, professionalism, and outstanding customer service are genuinely top-tier. Thanks to them, our backyard has truly become the centerpiece of our home. read more

We had such a great experience with the Precision team! Glinda was very responsive the first time I reached out to her for a quote. She sent Anthony to meet with us to give us a quote and Anthony was on time, very knowledgeable and a great person to talk to about our project. We were lucky they were able to fit us into their schedule quickly and they got the job done in 30 days! Anthony is very concerned with customer satisfaction and it showed every time we came to him with a concern. He and his team discussed solutions for everything we asked and were quick to get to work each day. They were all very respectful and hard working! I appreciate everything they did for us and our artificial grass/pavers/patio cover area looks wonderful! My dogs are so happy and run and play on it every day. We are still in contact with Anthony and I will definitely be asking him to work with us on future projects as well! They were consistent with the quote they originally gave us and stuck to it. The first payment we made after they delivered materials and the rest we paid when they finished the job. They do have a contract that we signed which is good because it holds everyone accountable and they delivered on everything they said they would do. We had asked for quotes from multiple places and they had the most straight forward and comprehensive quote for what we needed. They were on the high side price wise but gave us a great experience. You can always try to go cheaper but I definitely believe that you pay for what you get. I'm glad we went with Anthony and his team for our project! read more

My wife and I used Precision General ("PG") to repair and replace a clay tile roof on our home. We wanted to repair broken and missing tiles. We also wanted to add three layers: insulation, waterproofing and fire retardation. In addition we had just purchased and installed an exhaust hood over our range. We needed to replace the tiles around the roof exhaust and make sure it was protected against the rain. José Camerana led the PG crew. The workers were highly professional. They showed up every weekday around 7a.m. and worked non-stop (except for short lunch and rest breaks) until about 3p.m. They cleaned up EVERY DAY after finishing their work. They finished the work in late spring/early summer. When heavy rains came that fall, we noticed 3 small leaks. We have 2 chimneys. All the leaks were associated with the flashing around the chimneys. I called PG and they responded quickly. José came out on two occasions. He found the leaks and repaired them. He also ordered new flashing and painted the flashing to perfectly match the clay tiles. The roof was now perfectly water tight and we have had no subsequent problems. Throughout their work and afterward it was very easy to get in touch with Tod Cameron who oversaw the job for PG. When I called, texted or emailed, Tod would always respond within 24hours. His attitude was always positive, helpful, friendly. Never were there any excuses. He would identify the problem and arrange a proper fix with José. PG also used the highest quality materials. We are VERY pleased with PG and highly recommend them. read more

We had solar installed and the rotted fascia and eves repaired or replaced, along with the trim, and whole house painted with Tex-Cote Coolwall. Rick the original contact with Precision General who gave us the bid was always available on short notice to answer any questions we had, help us make decisions and is an experienced and personable professional. The solar installation was completed in perfectly in accordance with what Precision General planned for us and what we had expected. This installation was amazingly done in one day by two courteous and professional gentleman who's names I regret I have forgotten. The preparation for the Tex-Cote was meticulous. Ricardo's attention detail and direction of the crew made all the difference. We had our windows replaced by another company and they had just patched the stucco around the windows leaving a patched looking ring around the windows that was unsightly. Ricardo and Mario were able to clean that up so that when the Tex-Cote was applied it was not visible at all! There were many other spots where the stucco was cracked,deteriorating or the eves were mildewed. All of it was cleaned, patched, calked or re stuccoed as necessary in such a way as to make the house look clean and new. We are very satisfied with the whole process. I really don't think you can get better work done by a more respectful and courteous group or have a more pleasant experience anywhere else. read more

We just had the most wonderful experience with Precision General! Our house's balcony boards and railing had been in dire need of replacing the entire 7 years we've owned it. After the rains this spring the railing started to get loose and it was just super dangerous so we bit the bullet and got estimates from various companies. After speaking with a contractor who quoted us a 30% higher price (claiming that materials costs had skyrocketed) we appreciated Precision's honesty when they said that wasn't true and that materials rates were only marginally higher. Work-wise, everything went incredibly smoothly. The crew was able to reach our 20 ft balcony from the exterior so never disturbed us on the inside. They discovered our beams underneath the boards were rotted, so quickly quoted us the price for just the materials and labor, which was affordable and pretty generous of them to do. Even with this extra work they kept to their timetable to 3 weeks by working on Saturday. And finally, we appreciated overall that they didn't work their crews longer than 8 hours each day. Just feels like they are pretty good to their employees. We've had a TON of work done on our house in 8 years, but I can honestly say this is the best home improvement process we've had with anyone. Communication via text/email/phone was flawless, and the workmanship is A+ all the way. If you're reading this just hire them already! read more

PGC replaced all our windows, some of which were original to our 1950s house. Overall, they were very fairly priced, and the windows they installed are great -- we haven't needed to run the AC since then! From the home visit for the quotation, to the measuring and scheduling, to the day of install, I found everyone at PGC to be communicative, friendly, and professional. Specifics: Stephen, who came out to do a first look and give us a quote, was our point person throughout the process. I can't recommend him enough! He was friendly, patient with my questions, and a great teacher regarding all the stuff that make a good window. Maybe most importantly, he was easy to reach and lightning-fast to reply when I had additional questions *throughout* the process, even after signing the contract. I think the man who measured our windows was named Jeff? He was thorough, courteous, and professional. And he obviously measured correctly, 'cause the windows fit! :) The installation team was led by Marty. I was home during the installation, and couldn't help but notice the obvious camaraderie, mutual respect, and general good energy of the crew. Anyway, all around, this was a five-star experience, and I'm so relieved, because I'd heard some nightmare stories about windows replacements, and had been dreading the process. Turns out there was no need -- Precision made it easy *and* affordable. read more

We had not worked with a contractor before. I'd heard some stories. Precision contacted us on a Monday, came out that Wednesday and was back to take measurements on Friday. Contract was to start 7/1 and end 8/31. We said that we were retired and was home most of the time if they had any cancellations. They called and said they could actually start on the first. I wanted some trees removed before the concrete was laid so they started the 5th of May and was done by the 24th. We had a large deck built, two pads poured, concrete poured from one end of the house to the other. It was a lot! We also had some asphalt patched. I have to say it was the most pleasant experience. Anthony helped us design it out. David came back with him for measurements and estimates of what the cost would be. We got the trees remove and then Manny showed up with his crew. Everyone was so nice, polite and respectful. They were on time put in long hours to get specific jobs done. David was most impressive. He kept in constant contact with us. Answered every time I called and if he didn't he was usually calling me back before I hung up. He stopped by the job site from time to time. I added a few things and he was quick to give me new estimates. This job did not go over. He was a real pleasure to deal with as well as his office staff. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with Precision General Contracting and especially technician Chris. After my solar system experienced repeated breaker trips, Chris came out promptly, listened carefully to my concerns, and never made me feel rushed. He was extremely patient, explained the system in detail, and answered every question I had. What impressed me most was that he didn't just reset the system and leave. He carefully investigated the problem, checked the system thoroughly, and successfully identified the actual cause. The battery discharge-to-grid function had been enabled even though I did not want it. Once that setting was disabled, the issue was resolved. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. The office responded quickly to my email and phone call, kept me updated, and scheduled service promptly. Chris also responded to my text messages very quickly and even provided instructions to keep the system safe before he could return. Finding a contractor who is knowledgeable, honest, responsive, and willing to stand behind their work is not easy. Chris demonstrated all of those qualities. I sincerely appreciate his professionalism and the outstanding customer service provided by Precision General Contracting. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing solar or battery service. read more

I have given Precision 3 opportunities to respond to my calls...NOT ONE return call. They had canvassers in La Mesa on 7/2/16 who were verbally assaultive. I informed Ray and Carlos that we weren't interested and they proceeded to yell repeatedly in my face "F' You, you f'n b'ch" then continued yelling this all the way down the side walk. I am convinced if I didn't have a witness it would have turned violent...I am NOT prone to intimidation but these guys were seriously OUT OF CONTROL! I immediately called the # on their shirts, the company responsible for them, and was told it was a holiday weekend but someone would get back to me on Tuesday. NO CALL. I called back and expressed my concern that no one reached out and once again was reassured someone would call. Another week and NO CALL. I called back again and was told someone would get back to me. You already know how the story goes...NO CALL. I am shocked, although by virtue of the other reviews which demonstrate a clear lack of integrity by this business, that not one person could be bothered to even apologize that their company was associated with such abusive representation. Denying a thing doesn't make it go away. Reprehensible management...not the kind of company I would trust in the least!!! read more

From the salesman to the team working on the installation, the entire process was perfect. Salesman was NOT pushy and answered all of my questions and even came back to provide another quote for a battery backup. No contracts up front, no "sign now and get a great deal" tactic. Just honest work. The team working on the installation was professional. Chris, who was my foreman overseeing the work explained everything that was going to happen, was happening and what was done once the project was completed. Chris did a THOROUGH walk through of how the new system worked as well as what to see on my meter. He followed up with resources to help me better understand what he explained. Honestly, with all of the work I have had done to a home, a car and even a YARD Precision General Contracting made the experience beyond what I could have ever hoped for. Here's the final note, they did a quote and followed through with it with NO EXTRA EXPENSES. They keep you updated on installation times and completion. Even years after the project was done, Chris came over to help troubleshoot the hardware. Yiu will not be disappointed. You will be happy. There is no reason to not use Precision General Contracting first for a quote. read more

We discovered Precision while perusing the Del Mar home show. The gentleman we met there was charming to say the least, so we scheduled a consultation for the projects we were considering. When the estimatior arrived we were honestly quite surprised at his appearance, as he looked to be no older than 25. However, as the young man spent time with us going over the scope of work we were interested in, we quickly realized his knowledge of home improvement was quite vast. We ended up purchasing new windows, an insulated patio cover, and their lifetime paint product called coolwall. We figured we wouldn't hear from Stephen again after the contract was signed, but that was not the case. He assisted us when there was an issue with the financing, as well as when we had a question about the configuration of the patio cover. Additionally, he actually stopped by once the project was complete to show us the professional before and after photos they apparently take of every project. All and all this way by far the best remodeling experience we have ever had, so we wanted to say thank you to PGC and especially Stephen. We will definitely be calling on you for any future projects we have down the road. read more

We had our roof replaced last week by Precision General Contracting. From start to finish it has been such a positive experience. To start, Anthony did our estimate with all the costs upfront and in writing. There was no pressure and he is such a nice person! Then we were contacted by the roof foreman, Mike. He was great at working with us and keeping us informed, making sure the job was going well, and if we had any concerns, they were met. He also is a very nice person! The office people I spoke with, Katrina, Samantha, and Glinda were so friendly and responsive when I called. Again, very nice people! The men who actually worked on the roof did an excellent job. They were courteous and careful not to leave any messes or debris around from the job. I can't say enough good things about my experience with all the people I had contact with at Precision General Contracting, but moreover, the excellent job they did on installing my new roof. I am truly impressed with their work and quality of employees! I feel this company is honest and has integrity in dealing with the public. I would, and have, recommended them to anyone needing a new roof! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Precision General Contracting. Our salesperson, Thomas Cook very knowledgable and thorough in his presentation. We decided to purchase our system and do additional work using the Ygrene financing plan. We also contracted to have Pool Solar, new pool pump & filter, all new Windows & French doors. When we called Thomas to ask questions he never failed to answer or call back within the hour. Solar, Pool Solar, Pool Pump & Filter were all installed within 3 weeks. Steve Rutherford was our Project Supervisor. He was on top of all aspects of our project. We made several changes & additions to the contract which delayed Window & Door instillation. Steve was always very prompt in answering or returning my calls. AJ also called from the office several times to make sure everything was going smoothly. Window instillation was done in two days and Miguel the door installer was very meticulous and conciensious. The Amerimax Windows & French Doors are top quality and we feel very safe & secure. We are very happy that we now have solar and that we chose Precision General Contracting to do the Job. read more

We had an excellent experience with Precision General Contracting, from the initial sales meeting to final installation. The other solar companies wanted to install an 8kw system, however I felt the other solar companies were not taking into account all of our usage requirements. Precision General planned out a system that should nearly eliminate our SDG&E bill. They got everything approved with our HOA, the city and SDG&E to complete the installation and all inspections and paperwork. The installers had the system completed in 2 days (42 34Ow panels). SDG&E gave us permission to operate a few days later! The solar system exceeds our expectations, we are using all of our normal electricity and we are now pushing energy back to the grid during the day. We expect our annual true-up to be next to nothing! The cost for our system was competitive with the smaller solar systems the other "big" solar outfits were charging. Get your initial solar bids from the bigger companies, then call Precision General Contracting for your final bid. You won't be disappointed! read more

Here we are 3 years later and the exterior coating Precision applied still looks brand new. Since we had such a good experience with them painting our exterior, we decided to have them replace our roof and rebuild our old wooden patio cover that got damaged from all the rains this year. They replaced our old wood cover with a beautiful Four Seasons Elitewood insulated patio cover, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Our roof was over 30 years old and the rains did a number on it (multiple leaks) so we opted to have Precision replace with Ownes Corning TruDefiniton shingles. Chris & Mike were great on the roof team, I really appreciated Mike helping us zero in on the best color choice to match our home. The installation was professional and efficient. Additionally the communication from their office was flawless. It's really nice to have a contractor like Precision who can do these kind of projects that are typically a nightmare, and have them turn out so good every time. I have full confidence in them and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. read more
