We hired Elvin to patch the stucco on our 1930s home, which was in serious need of repair. We had leaks caused by cracks, uneven areas, a mix of large and small fractures, and multiple mismatched paint colors. Elvin quoted a fair price, clearly explained the process, worked through difficult weather conditions, and made sure the job was done right. The final result looks great and resolved the issues we were having. It was refreshing to work with someone who truly takes pride in their work. I would absolutely hire him again and recommend him without hesitation. read more

We wanted to thank Ruiz General Construction for all the hard work that they dedicated to our kitchen remodel! read more

I Had a lot of work planned for my home this year 2025 and through a lot of searching came across a couple of Pro Handymen that handled the Big tasks like top notch PROS. First one that took the Roofing Project was LUPE from this 'other' company, easy to work with and very reliable. LUPE completed the ROOF, Fascia and Gutters phase and recommended ELVIN from RUIZ Gnrl Construction to take my next project of SIDING, WINDOWS and FULL EXTERIOR PAINTING. I met with Elvin who presented a detailed description of the work to be done. Great! Lets do this I told Elvin. Elvin and his CREW, Joshua, Gera, Wilson, his son Lorence (maybe diff sorry) are all Pros. The whole experience was better than I possibly expected. Elvin was always ready to LISTEN, make adjustments, recommend alternatives and provide solutions. JOSHUA was also very easy to work with. Gera, Wilson and Lorence detailed and excellent pro workers. All and all, Im very happy to have worked with the RUIZ Team. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RUIZ Gnrl Construction with ELVIN and his CREW... Next, Landscaping.. Cheers!.. read more

We've had pretty extensive dry rot wood damage throughout the years. Due to the heavy rains this past year, we definitely knew that we needed to tackle this. We have this lovely bay window, but the wood all around the frames were damaged. Seriously, the wood rot was to the point where I was breaking off at a touch, and we could lift it and break it apart. I searched Yelp specifically looking for people who had experience doing this. I found Elvin and called and texted with him. He responded promptly and was able to come by to give me an estimate. Elvin explained the reason for each area's damage and how he would fix it. I took detailed notes thanks to his insight. Elvin and his team came by over the course of four days. It was a lot of work, and everything looks fantastic. The craftsmanship is solid, and the results are seamless. From the photos, you can see how great the bay window looks now. All along the way, Elvin and his team do things to make things last for the long term. He sent me pictures to show me how he sealed each part to make sure that it was good for the future. The price of everything was very reasonable. The value of what Elvin and his team delivered was well worth it. Elvin sends you a detailed estimate, and everything is written out clearly by the terms of the services that will be provided. He communicate a lot via text and in person. We are definitely asking him to help us out with future projects! If you are looking for a communicative, detailed, well-priced, and dependable person to help you with your house, contact Elvin! read more

Last year before the storms we had Elvin come over to check out a leak on our roof, he patched it to get us through the storms and didn't even charge us. He gave us a very fair estimate to do it completely so this year we called them back and they changed their schedule around so they could complete our repairs before the rains came. They are hard workers and very fair! read more

This was our second time hiring Elvin and his team. We worked with Elvin to install a new roof over our back deck which included building the structure, installing roofing/flashing, and re-routing the gutters. He also installed ceiling lights and a fan. As always, Elvin was professional, kind, and open to feedback. We are extremely happy with the outcome. We would rehire Elvin and Klever anytime. read more

Ruiz General Construction replaced our roof at our home and they did an amazing job! They were very thorough and we truly appreciated their excellent work ethic and how they took the time to explain everything about the roof replacement and the materials they used. We've had a few roofers replace our roof in the last few years, and I can honestly say that this was the best roofing company we've ever dealt with! We highly recommend them!!" read more

They painted my house and did a fantastic job! Jose and Esteban were on time, professional and went above and beyond with taking care of my place and making it look amazing!!!!!! read more

I had some recent dry wall problems on my ceiling that occurred due to a roof installation. The dry wall nails and edges were very visible on my once seamless ceiling and Elvin and his team did an incredible job finding all of the problem areas (some of which I didn't even know were there!) They sanded, plastered and painted the problem spots and now my ceiling looks better than before. read more

I had an awning come crashing down during the recent wind storm. Elvin came by to give me a quote (he arrived 10 minutes early!). He pointed out that some flashing was missing and he installed that before reinstalling the awning. He also patched a portion of my roof that had been leaking. No more leaks. Elvin's prices are good and he is an honest and qualified person. I can tell he and his crew take a lot of pride in the work they do. I will absolutely use Elvin again. Thanks Elvin! read more

If you're a homeowner then you know how hard it is to find a good handyman. You've probably asked all your friends at some point in your life if they knew a guy. Well, finally, we know a guy! We had parts of our water damaged ceiling that needed fixing. These guys not only fixed the one thing we hired them for but Elvin gave us another fair quote right on the spot when we asked about additional work. They ended up doing everything in one day. They covered everything well and cleaned up nicely. Elvin and his crew are our go-to handy guys from now on. read more

Elvin is very prompt and can do almost anything. Quality contractor who was a pleasure to work with. Thanks!

He replaced the roof on an outdoor bathroom by our pool. He not only did an excellent job but went over our main roof and patched around the roof vents that needed it. He did that because he saw it needed to be done. I'm amazed and pleased--- thank you so much read more

I had renovation done to the wall in the den for the patio sliding door. There use to be a small nook in the corner and got water damage from rain the last few years. Elvin and his team did a great job repairing the wall and other problems (replacement of gutter by the wall being repaired, replace wood to garage frame, small portion of the porch frame and other areas where the wood rotted). Also did some added some tile to the flooring where the nook use be, including in the pricing quoted (no additional cost). Only took them a week to complete the work as promised at a reasonable price. I am very happy with their work and would recommend to anyone who needs repair done in the home. read more

Was I lucky to find Elvin on Nextdoor.com!!!! i had wood rot from tip of roof leaking for years. it damaged my exterior trim around windows and had some termite damage next to security door. i actually thought it was from the gutter being old? I posted EVERYWHERE online...for months!!! I posted photos, called for quotes...emailed...made appts with anyone that told me they could do the job...i was EXHAUSTED!!! i posted under handyman carpentry...carpentry, under painters sites...you name it ... i tried. I must admit...trim looked terrible but with some scraping and bondo to clean it up....was key. this was NOT a construction job!!! had a couple of those companies stop by and they wanted to rebuild my fu...g wall!! these guys just want to charge up as much as possible at $200 plust and hour! i then posted....NO CONSTRUCION COMPANIES! i also spoke to many handymen...supposed carpenters that told me they could do the job....and their explanation of what needed to be done...WAS INSANE!!! i could tell they were winging it! Nothing worse than hiring someone that doesn't know what they are doing and giving you OUTRAGES QUOTES! I've become quite a handyman myself...so I cut right thru their bullshit!. anyway...Elvin responded to a post for handyman carpenter on Nextdoor...and was smart enough to post his pictures of work done...the show excellent woodworking skills!!!! he came by the house...i instantly knew he he could do the work...by his pics and they way he walked me thru the process of fixing my exterior damaged trim. He gave me a great quote!!! i immediately hired him...and DAM...DID A GREAT JOB!!! im submitting finished pics...maybe he posted before pics on this site. he's been in construction for years....and thank god....he took this job! i know he has other skills which I will be hiring him again.

I've always thought, "I want to find someone who works at the house as if it were his/her own." Elvin is that person. Quality, conscientious, reliable, goes the extra length to do a good job. I had dry wall work to do and he gave me a good quote from photos. Once at the house I told him, and showed him, I had more work to do for another time, because I didn't think it could be done in 1 day. He told me he could do it all within the day and gave me a new honest quote. Very respectful of the space, excellent quality of work. Was also happy to find out he does several types of jobs, like flooring, painting, carpentry, and will have him back to do more. Highly recommend Elvin. read more
