San Diego Estimating Service comes through with a BIG WIN! My insurance company tried to settle my…read morewater damage claim with an insultingly low number and said I could easily complete my restoration project with a nominal amount. After searching and searching for a contractor to do the work at the approved amount, I quickly realized I was getting ripped off by my insurance company of 27 years with 0 claims. I called San Diego Estimating services, and they were at my house, reassuring me the next day. After some back and forth with my adjuster, this company doubled my approved amount, and they also recommended a contractor that could give me more than I had expected. Thank you, SDES! I highly recommend this company for any estimating needs you have.

I think some of the people might mistake the emphasis on clarity and precision for lack of friendliness. Then again, maybe he doesn't suffer fools and I just barely snuck under his fool radar. I called because I wanted help amending a return. He talked to me for about 5-10 minutes, gave me some informal guidance on how I might be able to arrive at a solution without forking out a bunch of money, and said to come in if I ran into trouble I couldn't solve myself. That's some damn friendly service if you ask me.

It's unfortunate, but I had to leave this business. They made a huge error on my taxes and…read morebasically forgot to enter my state taxes as a deduction. Nobody ever apologized or said it was their mistake. I was just supposed to be grateful when they got it back. The owner is condescending to women. If you act confused or you need additional explanation, he kind of rolls his eyes. He would never ever admit an error. So I don't think it's worth the risk to go there. I have since left.

I highly recommend them for your future bookings -- you won't be disappointed.

If I could give them less than 1 star I would. This place is probably the worst tax place in…read moreCalifornia and maybe the whole US. They give you a big sales pitch to lure your business but they don't deliver anything except incompetence. Don't believe the good reviews because they have been sued many times. We ended up having to jump through hoops at the last minute to try to get our taxes done. What a terrible experience. Save yourself from having to deal with the frustration and anxiety and just AVOID this place.

I looked at Yelp before working with this company and questioned the bad reviews I saw. Zach, who…read morewas my original contact, admitted they had some growing pains in earlier years and had addressed problems. I wish I had continued vetting this company before hiring them and can't blame anyone else, but I completely agree with the more recent one-star reviews (which came after I was already working with them). The experience has been a disaster. They do a very nice feasibility study at a low cost (loss leader, obviously), then sign you up with a sloppy contract (I pointed out a number of issues with it to them). Soon Zach was no longer with the company and the person who claimed to be my new contact was never heard from again. I went forward with my project, had the original architect replaced shortly after the design phase began, then lost my only reliable contact within the company, who made sure that meetings were set up and questions were addressed. I was eventually able to speak with her to find out she had been laid off, happening right after the replacement architect notified me that he had voluntarily left the company. At that point there was nobody I could speak with until I managed to get hold of the CEO's number. Multiple calls, texts and emails were either ignored or I was promised quick responses which never came. My permit application was returned with comments from the city and I spent the next 5 weeks hounding them to respond. They assured me that their responses professionally addressed all of the issues, which was a complete lie. I ended up having to apply to the city to replace them as the project applicant. They were notified of that and given 5 business days to respond. Not surprisingly, they never bothered. Having taken over the control of my project, I had to hire someone else and pay for work to be duplicated in order to keep my project moving along. I'm still awaiting the permit, but have made progress and am relieved to be rid of these scammers. As they were referred to me by a real estate broker who heard their pitch at a professional meeting, I gave him a heads up not to refer anyone else. They obviously get clients via these pitches to real estate professionals, so I hope those organizations do a better job of vetting them before putting them in front of their members. I wouldn't wish my experience to be repeated to anyone else.

Throughout the process Eric was constantly in communication with me and flexible to my particular needs and changes to scope as the products progressed towards the finish line. Bela Development took our 100 year old San Diego mission revival home that was looking a little rough around the edges and cleaned it up, modernizing our kitchen, upgrading ancient electrical & plumbing, improving our HVAC design, & completing a whole home re-stucco. They even returned our 1980s fireplace back to a spanish-style fireplace with a upgraded twist. There was a bit of every trade involved in my scope and Eric knew who to call about it. I am not ashamed to say that I was a very particular client to work with and they did an excellent job getting our home across the finish line because Eric had the same attention to detail that I did. It was great working with Bela Development, and I'd recommend them to any of my family or friends.
