Rick came over today and gave me a real good lesson on how our old year 1926 house was built, what…read morestucco is, how stucco is applied and the consequences. I love it when a guy comes over and talks me out of doing expensive work . He offered a much better solution than plastic paint ("Cool Life" or "Texicote") and explained exactly why. While he was here, he also offered solutions to our old garage that needs to be rebuilt. I never knew you could just rebuild the very top of a structure. I always thought you had to knock the while thing down. He also offered advice on our water drainage from the roof. Then he promised to send me some contacts for people who could do the work if I wanted to, but again told me nothing structural is going on, so we don't have to. He didn't charge a fee. But its my policy that everybody's time is worth money. He refused the amount I was originally going to give him and took a lesser amount. Finally, he said he owns a Dodge Dart!! My dad had a Dodge Dart, it was little power house. Rick himself drives a cool old vintage car. Cool dude. I would recommend him to anyone.

When I first spoke to the owner of Southside Stucco John De La Cruz I liked him. He gave me a price that was good and better than others I had spoken to. This job took 1/2 a day to do and it's a beautiful job. Utterly professional and a straight shooter, really a good guy and I'm so impressed with the work. When painted you are never going to know that a repair was done it's that good. Hire this company that has complete and utter integrity. He allowed me to pay by Zelle also which saved me a long drive. I'm just so happy with this and you better know I'm keeping John in my book. Thank you so much! What a fine job and my friends in Redondo and Torrance will know your name.

If I could redo one thing about our remodel, I would have called John from day one…read more We initially went with a stucco contractor recommended by our window company since we replaced our windows. The job ended up patchy and not acceptable....smooth stucco is very difficult to get right. I ended up finding Southside Stucco on my own through yelp because their reviews all 5 star and John was knoweledgable and his price was very fair. We wanted a smooth finish, which is notoriously the most difficult stucco style to get right because every flaw, bump, and seam stands out. John just finished the job last week he it looks amazing...it's 100% seamless, perfect smooth coat across the whole surface, around the edges, right up to the gutters, around the mouldings....it looks perfect. If you want smooth stucco done right the first time without having to pay someone else to fix it later, just hire John.

Four years ago Rick and his assistant came by to take care of some holes in our house. We were very…read morenervous since we're very picky. We're both Art Directors and our job is to be critical of other peoples' work. One set of holes was in a closet from plumbing work, one hole was in the ceiling of our breakfast nook and 2 large holes from the removal of a heater in the garage (interior and exterior). Rick did the plaster work and his assistant did the stucco work. Both mediums were immaculate. The plaster work was beautiful and paint ready. Our original stucco work is the bumpy mashed potato style and it was the perfect matching bumpiness. My apologies for the belated review. I needed to find Ricks contact information to refer a new customer so corrected my mistake while I was here.

The new stucco work looks perfect and matches the rest of the wall. Highly recommend!

He advised of any issues that needed to be addressed (patching, drywall, etc.) Jeremiah and his crew were professional and kept the house neat and cleaning during the painting process.

I have used Builder Boy on several projects over the years. Everything from indoor and outdoor…read morepainting, stucco repair, outdoor rain drainage systems, and drywall repair, Builder Boy has always been a reliable source for our family and all of our handyman/contracting needs. I find them to be an extremely professional operation that charges very reasonable rates and are very responsive. We have used Builder Boy/Painter Boy/Stucco Boy about 5 separate times for jobs at two different homes over the last 3 years. Jereme always will make an onsite visit to discuss the proposed work and will let tell you honestly that you don't need work in certain areas and always provides options for work that needs to be done. His demeanor is professional and easy to communicate with and never comes off in a sales-ie way. He is very knowledgeable and will always take the extra step to explain the details of the job and share his thoughts. I find his consultations to be very informative. Once the job commences, Jereme is always on hand to check on the status of the job and make sure that we are pleased and comfortable with the work being done. Even after the job, he normally will come back to look over everything himself. In one instance, he actually insisted on sending his team back to paint a wall even though the work they did had no impact on it.....He simply wanted the house to look as nice as possible. 5 stars, if I could I would give them 10.
