He was very thorough, and very communicative of what he will be doing to make sure the job is done right. Him and Marina make a great team to make sure it looks like (or better than) how it looked before they started! They made sure to clean up everything well since it's the second story and we won't be going up there as easily. It was all much appreciated! Changing out this window was giving me a headache, but having found Fermin made it so much easier, I'm keeping his info for future stucco projects!

He responded quickly, provided a fair quote, and was able to get the work scheduled and completed incredibly fast. The finished ceiling looks great, and Seong made the entire process easy from start to finish. He was professional, timely, and left everything clean and tidy once the work was completed. Great work, fair pricing, and excellent service. I would absolutely recommend Seong and wouldn't hesitate to call him again for future projects.

We're juggling post-lead and asbestos remediation, renting a place 40 minutes away, working full-time, and caring for a young child. Coordinating multiple estimates at once isn't a luxury for us, it's a necessity. At no point did Seong mention that he has an issue with clients getting more than one quote. Instead of being upfront about his "one-contractor only" expectation, he chose to waste our time and walk away on the spot. It came across as unprofessional, inflexible, and dismissive of our situation. If you consider hiring Seong, make sure you ask very clearly about his attitude toward competing bids and your time. Based on our experience, I would not rely on him for anything that requires basic respect, communication, or professionalism.

What started as a stressful situation turned into a smooth and surprisingly positive experience thanks to this contractor. He handled everything from insulation to drywall repair and repainting, and the quality of the work is outstanding. The drywall looks flawless--you'd never even know there was damage to begin with--and the paint job came out clean, even, and professional throughout the entire area. What really stood out was his attention to detail and communication. He kept me updated every step of the way, showed up on time, and made sure everything was done right, not rushed. He also took the time to protect the surrounding areas and left the space clean when the job was finished, which I really appreciated. If you're in Santa Clarita and need any drywall, insulation, or paint work--especially after something like water damage--I highly recommend him. It's not easy to find someone this reliable and skilled. Definitely someone I would hire again without hesitation.

Some background: 8 years ago I wanted my house painted and got talked into Tex-Cote, a truly awful product that started bubbling and peeling off the house a few years later. A few weeks ago, one of those predatory companies that canvass neighborhoods looking for work scared me into accepting a ridiculously high bid, which, after discussing with friends, I cancelled. Several calls and bids followed; some who wouldn't even bother working in LA County, some insanely high bids, and some insanely low. After hiring a guy on the insanely low end (warning!) who worked 45 minutes with high-pressure water and said it wasn't going to work and I would have to have the house sandblasted, I found Quicksand. Joey came out to look at the house and explained how and why the others' bids were too high or low. He answered all my questions openly and honestly (oh, and FYI, they are the company others subcontract sandblasting out to). He gave me a very reasonable quote, and was the FIRST company to know Long Beach has very specific laws requiring testing for lead paint and permit for sandblasting! I paid a reasonable deposit, with payment for sandblasting and stucco due after each was done. Communication was excellent. They scheduled the job promptly, showed up and completed the sandblasting in one day. I picked a stucco color and finish and the stucco crew was out and doing the job in no time. They did a beautiful job! The crews are courteous and hard-working, and Joey supervised the project from beginning to end. They even came out the day after the stuccoing and installed new vent covers since there were several missing, and the rest were beat to hell. All in all, a wonderful experience! Joey is personable and funny, and a joy to work with. I highly recommend Quicksand if you need your house sandblasted/re-stuccoed.

Of all the contractors I have had to work with, Hunter was the most professional person I have worked with in the 50 years I have lived in Irvine.

The people he employs are courteous without exception and they do a top notch job. I received 5 bids for that work and his was the most reasonable. He makes it very easy to make payments and is quick to send receipts for payments. I can't say enough about this company!

Many others said the roof above the windows running down the inside walls. And many others saying it was coming in through the stucco. I went through this process for six months.

He found and fixed the source of the water, removed the damaged areas, inspected and repaired everything behind the stucco, replaced the necessary waterproofing and lath, and carefully blended the new stucco with the existing texture. He was thorough, professional, and took the time to do the job right. We're very happy with the finished result and would definitely recommend Evan!

After 3 estimates, we decided to go with Exterior Specialists because the owner (Chris) has been…read morepainting houses for 30 years. While the others seemed like salesmen, Chris was straightforward, but his expertise shined through! He wasn't the cheapest nor the most expensive...just right - like Goldilocks. The painters are all long term employees curated over 30 years and it shows! The crew was 3-5 people and they were very well organized, friendly, and most of all, hard working! The crew lead, Javier, was like a master overseeing his apprentices while working harder than everyone. Chris came on site several times over the week to check on things as well. I was amazed by all the prep work the crew did and well they cleaned up at the end of each day! Chris says the prep work is the most important part painting and it pays to do it right. His experience is vast and helped us select our colors from our finalists along with advising on some other non-painting related work we needed done such as sandblasting, roofing, and gutters. We really felt like we were is good, capable and honest hands! I write very few online reviews...only for truly exceptional service which certainly applies to Exterior Specialists! I highly recommend them for exterior painting.

After being rejected by other…read morepainters who said our house was too tall (it's 2 stories tall) and old we, searched through Yelp. Seeing the high ratings, we decided to hired Chris and his team from Exterior Specialists and are extremely pleased with the results. TL;DR: - Chris and his team are both efficient/ultra fast and skilled at their jobs (finished in a week, half the estimated time, and produced very high quality work) - Great work ethic from his team: on time, flexible, and clean (everything was organized and put away at the end of each day), despite scorching hot weather - Able to repair eaves (whether it be refurbishing or replacing) to be brand new - Chooses highest quality paint and won't get any paint on surfaces you don't want it on (the ground, lights, other decor) - Chris has great taste when it comes to choosing a color scheme for your home More Details: Firstly, Chris has great artistic taste in terms of what colors to choose to best fit your home. Our vision for the project was to refurbish our home to become more modern, which meant choosing a different exterior paint color. Unable to decide which colors to choose, we asked Chris what colors he would recommend. Not only was he able to immediately recommend different colors, but the color scheme he chose for us fitted our home perfectly and was exactly what we had in mind. Chris and his team's work is of the highest quality. Many of our home's eaves had been damaged by termites and needed replacing; many of the wooden boards were not only very high up and hard to reach, but also very large. Yet, he said it was no problems and his carpenters were able to make our eaves look brand new. They even went beyond replacing the badly damaged boards and helped sand and fill in the rest of our eaves! The paint was also of the same level of quality. Chris will help you choose the most premium paint that both looks nice and is more grime resistant than other paints. His painting team is highly skilled: there are no paint bubbles or flakes, no messy streaks or flecks to be seen, and they'll make sure any lights or decorations on the exterior walls are removed or completely covered. The greatest merit of Chris and his team, however, is their work ethic. We were in the middle of a heat dome when they started work, meaning temperatures were in the high 90s to 100s all day. Despite the unpleasant weather, Chris's team would arrive on time every day and work with no complaints. The workspace was always kept clean and organized at the end of each day; upon finishing, they made sure the surrounding area was extra clean. The most surprising thing is, the team was able to finish the project in a week, a whole week faster than the original 2 week estimate! It is amazing how quickly yet masterfully they were able to complete the work in these summer conditions, and we thank them for all their hard work (not to mention that they were able to start work a day or two after Chris's appraisal). His team is also very flexible. We initially weren't planning on repainting our garage since it was newer, but after seeing how it looked with the new colors, we decided we wanted to repaint it as well. Even though they were wrapping up when we asked them, they were able to immediately purchase the needed paint and still finish on the same day! We cannot more highly recommend Exterior Specialists to work on your house: you won't be disappointed!

Luis did a great job on a tricky exterior stucco repair on a rooftop patio. The recent heavy rain…read morein LA at the beginning of the year revealed a bad leak at an exterior wall corner that led to deterioration of the substrate to the point where water was entering the house. The exterior wall and substrate needed to be rebuilt correctly and sealed properly so the leak wouldn't reoccur. Luis was clear about the scope and communicated well throughout. He handled the prep the right way (paper/lath, corner and bottom section repair, sealing/flashing details, etc.) and then applied the stucco in stages. The finish came out clean and professional. What I appreciated most: Luis is detail-oriented and cared about getting the final look right. He didn't just paint the new wall -- he also painted a pre-existing, adjoining wall so the color match would be seamless. The blend came out excellent and the whole area now looks intentional, not like a patch. Fair pricing, solid workmanship, great attention to detail and follow-through. I'd hire Luis again and highly recommend him for stucco work.
