Holes and gaps remained after the work as seen in photos. Some long marks were still showing through paint in three different walls. They also offered to touch up trim, but changed the story to it being a favor offered during the quote and only if they had white paint with them. Of course they show up with no white paint, and even if we offer to go buy some, they declined. They were more interested in collecting payment than doing a proper work.

Monte Maniz was a recommendation of my Piedmont-based realtor. As a new homeowner unfamiliar with…read morebasic repairs such as dry rot, I had asked her for someone I could really trust. When I met Monte, he had been out of work due to a leg injury and local fires that had affected his home. Based in the strong recommendation and a first meeting in which he said he was expert at dry rot repair, I hired him to resolve issues on my home's pest report. I never thought I had to worry about him subbing to someone, but that's exactly what he did for a stucco patch on the front of my nice old tudor revival home. And then the sub subbed to someone else he didn't even know. The stucco patch these people completed was - by Monte's own admission a few years later - substandard. I learned from other contractors that this was because the patch was not tied into the surrounding wall. Within two years, it cracked in a perfectly straight line. Because Monte needed the money, he charged a premium for this work. He proudly told me that he paid his team $40/hour under the table. When I compared that to what he was charging for the pest work and asked why it was so much, he made excuses about how the stucco was a special fast-drying type. After I sent him an email explaining my concerns a few years later, he was initially upset I had bothered him. But when I sent him a photo of the crack, he agreed the work was incorrect. He came to discuss the issue and said he was mainly worried that my realtor wouldn't recommend him for other work. When he came again with his sub, he did so when I wasn't home. When I texted to ask if he had even used waterproof paper, he stopped responding to calls, emails and texts. I wish I had known I could have reported him to CSLB. But that's something you don't expect when someone says they are trustworthy. Monte is not trustworthy, and he's someone who gives contractors a bad name. You never really get over being taken. Don't let it happen to you.

Raul met with us and was very professional informing us details we should consider when choosing the proper painting company, regardless of which company we chose. His bid wasn't the lowest nor was it the highest but it was worth every penny. Due to the water damage, we needed some sheet rock and texture work, all of which he arranged and oversaw. While working on the house, we decided to add crown moulding, window casings and jams, and Raul arranged and oversaw this as well. ALL of the contractors were professional and provided superior service. The interior of our home came out wonderful and we were beyond satisfied with the service. We have recommended RA Custom Finishes to our friends and family, and will certainly use Raul's company again when we pain the exterior. Highly recommend RA Custom Finishes, and are very satisfied customers. Troy and Carole Patterson CA
