Calvin is a scam artist at best! He preyed on my 88 yr.old aunt for several thousands of dollars to get his business license back up and running so he could do work for her. And because my aunt is giving and vulnerable she did. Once he got her money you can guess where he went.....MISSING! His phone was in and out of being disconnected so tracking him down became an art form. Little did he know I had him on camera from afar sitting on our deck drinking HER tequila and touching her inappropriately ie; hands, shoulders, legs etc. I gave him two weeks to return her money or I will be turning him in for elder abuse and filing against his bond to get her money returned for fraud! PS. Do yourself a favor and look him up at L&I, he has a litany of complaints and fines! Caveat Emptor. read more

Premier Specialty Builders - Inappropriate touching from a contractor. Phase 1, get her tipsy so she lets her guard down and you can steal her money! - Landscaping Near Me

The contractor need serious attitude adjustment. I showed him the bids I received from other contractors and he started to shout at me because those bids were much lower and started to say that I am insulting him by showing him lower bid. Then he demanded money for wasting his time. Definitely won't be recommending him to anyone. Update: Right after I submitted the review, the contractor started to send derogatory messages and calling names. As of now, I have blocked his phone number and will call authority if contact me again. read more

Calvin and his crew came to replace our deck flooring. After discovering the deck needed to be completely replaced, I decided to enlarge my second story deck and add stairs for access from the yard. Calvin is easy to work with and any additional corrections or adjustments were no problem. I am happy with the end result. read more

Amazing Customer Experience and Great Quality work We had the opportunity to hire premier specialty build to renovate our backyard The project included a retaining wall and a 100ft fence. Initially, we were hesitant to do the project since it's a lot of money. Calvin had spend multiple hours coming out to our property and discussing what is possible and answering every questions we had. Calvin was able to start very promptly and his crew did an amazing job putting the retainer wall in 2 days. Calvin and his crew didn't stop whether it's raining or windy. They were able to finish the project in a very timely manner. The quality of the work was beyond our expectation and Calvin was very communicative and accommodating through out the project especially when unknowns happen. Calvin went above and beyond to make sure we are happy, he even came back to replace boards that we didn't like at no extra cost. That is the best customer service you can ask for. We will hire Calvin any time as he is one of the best out there read more

I was looking for pricing to have a fence installed. Calvin called me right away. He came out the same day and provided a quote. He was professional and a very nice guy. I ended up hiring him. He and Oscar came the next day to install the posts. Once set they came and installed the fence quickly and it looks great!!!!! I am so happy with the final results. I would recommend Premium Specialty Builders for anything you may need done. Wonderful people. I met a new friend for sure!!!! Thanks Calvin and Oscar!!!!!! read more

Calvin's crew removed and installed new turf at my house and did an absolutely beautiful job. I couldn't be happier.

Total rip off! Once you pay him the 75% upfront, the job moved in slow motion and after a week, no one showed up and the excuses began. A lot of money for half the job. The last day his employee was on the job, he had to leave but said he said would be back to finish the following day but needed to be paid as he needed the money. I asked Calvin about it and he said to go ahead and pay him and promised the job would be finished. That was the last time I saw either one of them. I paid for materials that were never brought or installed. Probably never purchased. I called him and text him over the course of 2 months asking when the job would be finished. One excuse after the next, false promises and lies. He's a scam artist! Go with a reputable company and avoid this one at all cost. read more

I had a very weird project to get my custom cabinets modified for a larger dishwasher. It wasn't a big job but I wanted a professional to do it. When I talked to Calvin, he said he usually does much bigger jobs than that but then he said "But I don't want to leave you hanging, let's take a look". He came out and took care of everything and did an amazing job! I will definitely be using him when it is time to redo my back deck. Great work. Great guy. Very trustworthy. read more

I had a tree top fall into my garden area and completely destroyed the fencing and trellis. I contacted Premier Specialty Builders to give me a quote for my home owners insurance. Calvin Silva (Business Owner) came out the next day to give me the assessment. I am 72 years old and have dealt with many contractors, but Calvin was different. He and his crews attitude and attention to detail was amazing. He completed the work as scheduled and to my specifications. I would recommend Premier Specialty Builders for any job big or small. Look at his facebook page, I did before hiring him. read more

Calvin answered our message promptly in a world where it is very difficult to find available contractors. Calvin did such amazing work and charged a fair price. The only thing better than the finished product (a properly working gate with a fresh coat of paint) was his lovely & joyful personality. He was kind, responsive, and caring. He found out that someone in our household was sick and he brought us fresh homemade tamales and salsa. Also, instead of simply fixing our black iron gate and painting it, he used the extra paint to paint the railing near our front door and our mailbox. He's a wonderful person to have in your Rolodex. He comes with our highest recommendation. read more

*****BEWARE***** We needed the back side of our house re-sided and Calvin (used car sales man in disguise) sold us over on his quality and promising that he would be able to start immediately after the deposit money (75% of $4,300 project) was given. We gave cash on September 21, 2020 promising the job would be completed in 2 weeks. Timeline of the project: - September 21, 2020 gave $3,225 cash for deposit - October 7, 2020; first day someone showed up. The old siding was removed and it was realized that it would need to be re-ply wooded. So we gave another deposit for that job (75% of $2,200 project, $1,700). - The extra ply wood job took a single worker 4 days total - October 19, 2020 Calvin comes to collect $ for the plywood job; expecting a bonus for some reason. Paid remaining balance on project. Promising he well be there "Friday" to put up the siding. Promising it would only take 1 day. - October 27, 2020 I called Calvin wanting to know the hold up for the siding. I was told "I got a guy, it's on a truck." Then asking for more info Calvin gets offended because he can't produce a receipt for materials that we gave money for or give any info on the "guy with a truck." That is not where you buy siding for a house; comical that he was so adamant about his "truck guy." Calvin became offended and said "well I guess it's time to go our separate ways." I was so relieved; telling him that I would meet him anywhere to get our deposit money re-funded. I had 2 contractors come over and give new bids that were better than Calvin's. Then Calvin said "No I'm going to finish the job like I told you." Since we already gave the money for the job; we couldn't do anything. Except listen to Calvin's shit over and over again. - Cant recall exact date but Calvin requested another $200 to pay his Secretary of State - November 6, 2020 the siding gets delivered - November 11, 2020 Calvin requested $300 for more materials - November 13, 2020 90% of siding was up. Calvin requested another$400 to pay his workers - December 5, 2020 Calvin completed the project minus screens. Calls and offers to replace a bad fence area due to the way things went. Took him up on it. - December 8, 2020 Calvin wanted to put in new screens and requested the remainder of the balance. I said that we will not pay anymore due to the situation. I feel that deducting $175 is reasonable considering it took 8 weeks longer than expected and we had to keep paying throughout because "his guys needed to be paid." Typically you pay a deposit to start then the remainder is paid when the job is completed. If you can't pay your guys then it's pretty clear you mishandled the original deposit money that was use for that purpose. We only paid early because we felt sorry for his guys. If he treats customers like this than I can imagine how he treats employees. Who actually aren't employees (suppose to report employees to Employment Security Department) or subcontractors with licenses; everything is under the table with cash. So 75 days of dealing with no gutter downspouts, piles of shit, nails and garbage in the back yard (have 2 big dogs), blatant lies of when things will be done and what is going on. Then he put a hole in my neighbors house trying to get new business (now there is a garbage bag patch over the hole due to Calvin tearing a hole in their house). And I could keep going on: not cutting the plastic barrier and the roll parachuting in the wind in the middle of the night, blowing wet leaves in the front yard in a big pile against the house, and every time he did come over he just talked himself up and was oblivious to reality. The excuses he used were great and still make me laugh. "Chicken wings," "guy on a truck," and the best is "The Calvin Treatment." There were more but the fact that he didn't use the pandemic as one is baffling. All people want in a contractor is for them to do what they say. Have had several contractors working on our house (roof, gutters and interior work) and they all did what they said in the time they said it and willingly gave receipts without even asking. People need to trust their contractor and any contractor should be able to be transparent. Calvin is full of shit and can't do 25% of what he says. So if you are on the fence as to hire Calvin I would say "Beware, don't even let him give you a bid because he will put a hole in your house within 10 minutes of him being there." That is how it started with us and I watched him do it to our elderly neighbors. Calvin is completely fine with tearing a hole in your house and leaving it as is; speaks volumes of his character. Calvin is a used car salesman who will promise everything to get a deposit and can't deliver. As I write this review the contractor license for "Premier Specialty Builders LLC" is currently suspended on Labor and Industries with 3 complaints totaling over $46,700 for claims filed against the business. read more

Calvin and his team are extremely hardworking and sincere in their work. We are very pleased with our yard and they delivered exactly what we asked for.

We got our backyard completely redone by Premier Specialty Builders and are really impressed with the quality of work. We got a part of our backyard paved, our fence redone and also built a retaining wall in order to flatten our yard which had a huge slope earlier. This was some difficult terrain to work with. Calvin was very open and honest about what he planned to do with every part of the project. He walked us through all the steps in detail and we really appreciated being in the know how of what was happening. He was able to take care of all parts of the project and give us a finished look for the entire yard. He worked with us on our budget constraints as the project was huge and gave us many options to work with. He and his workers were always on time and cleaned up after their work was complete. We highly recommend Calvin at Premier Specialty Builders for any landscape/hardscape projects. read more
