They do awesome work! They're on budget and on time and their prices are very good! It was nice to work with true professionals!

OH BOY, STUCCO BOY! I met with Jereme (the owner of Stucco Boy/Builder Boy) to discuss an exterior refinishing project. We've got some TEX-COTE that the prior owners added that is failing and in need of repair. To their credit, Jereme is knowledgeable about TEX-COTE and the company even has a landing page on their website describing how to fix a failing application. They offer services to repair and re-apply, and Jereme mentioned this would be an option for us, in addition to a more involved re-plastering. Jereme said he'd break out different options for us. Despite Jereme's demeanor coming off a bit slick and salesy, them being a local company with experience with TEX-COTE gave me some confidence. I received a proposal that I felt was reasonably priced. Before selecting the company for my project, I had some follow-up questions I asked the office staff via email regarding coordinating the project with other work being done-namely a re-roof project that I'd be undertaking. After a little back-and-forth, Jereme called me directly. I was able to ask my questions about coordination with the roofing company, and he put my mind at ease. He described how the roofing company would handle tear-off and paper the roof, and then Stucco Boy would come in and water blast and prep. He was pretty specific about his recommendations and that fully addressed my questions. He said that I'd be able to put them into contact with the roofer to work out the specifics and "when roofing companies hear that, they are relieved"-indicating to me that there'd be a proactive direct coordination that would help streamline the process. WONDERFUL! After receiving HOA approval for the project, I reached out to Builder Boy and said I'd like to proceed with them. I followed up with a few questions including one about timing and order of operations to coordinate with the roofing and solar to take place (roughly, at this point) in January. The responses I got from the office staff to my questions were different than what Jereme had indicated; instead of coordinating with the roofers, they said that it would be better for them to do their work after the roofers had completed. There was some back-and-forth where I tried to reconcile the differences in the office staff's answers/recommendations of doing work after everything else was done and what Jereme had indicated to me on our earlier phone call. Two days after not hearing anything back, I received a phone call from Jereme. He indicated to me that he'd heard from his team that I was "frustrated" and that I had taken an "aggressive tone" with his staff and he hoped to understand my frustration but also see if there was a path forward. He indicated that he cares about his staff; the implication he was stepping in to shield them from unfair treatment. I told him that I was confused, and asked if he'd read the emails-my hope was to ensure we were on the same page about what my issue actually was and for me to understand what about my correspondence was "aggressive." He replied he'd "skimmed" the email-so I asked him if I'd be able to read it to him--much of my confusion stemmed from what the office staff was suggesting and how it was much different than what Jereme had indicated regarding coordinating steps with the roofing company. He responded "I get it, you're a good guy" as if my primary intent in reading him the email to was somehow clear my name, and he followed up with "I'd rather not live in the past and instead just move forward." Wait, seriously?! You imply I'm mistreating your staff, you're only vaguely aware of what my issue actually is and when I attempt to talk in specific terms about either of those things you suddenly want to "move forward"? I tried to explain to Jereme the disconnect, and how the staff's recommendation wasn't what he and I had discussed earlier, so I was confused. He said "it can be done either way" and "it's up to the customer"- but kept insisting that his staff was correct in their suggestion without acknowledging it was different than what he himself earlier had suggested, and that was the source of my confusion. The whole time it felt like Jereme was trying to gaslight me, and whenever I tried to be specific about our conversation or clarify what my issue actually was, he'd deflect and say dismissively "it's up to you; just tell us when to show up and we'll be there." I was pretty floored at this point and couldn't shake the feeling that I was getting hustled by this guy. I knew that as he kept insisting he wanted to "move forward" without actually talking about the nature of the problem, it was a sign that this wasn't the kind of company, and Jereme the kind of person, I could trust. So I calmly told him that it was clear to me it wouldn't be a good fit, he said "OK," and that was the extent of my experience with Builder Boy. Jereme: because you didn't bother reading the email exchange before, I posted it here for your convenience. read more

Stucco Boy - An email thread where Jereme (the owner) later suggested I was being "aggressive" with his staff. - General Contractors Near Me - Long Beach, California

Stucco Boy was not able to do the repairs to my stucco because it was too small of a job. Jereme told me that they have a $4,500 minimum. Making an appointment for an estimate was easy and the communications were professional. Jereme was knowledgable, professional and looked at the water damage on my stucco and gave me good advice. If I ever need a big job, I will call them first. I wish they had told me that there was a minimum ahead of time. read more

Great Service, quoted fast, Jereme was easy to work with. Made it easy to pay, and track project progress with their email updates

Stucco Boy did an excellent and very professional job on our condos. They re-stuccoed and completely waterproofed 2 entire walls on both sides of the building, they were fast and responsive! Jereme was very helpful in explaining every detail and walking us through the ENTIRE process! I highly, highly, highly recommend them! read more

Im a Long Beach designer and referred my clients to Stucco Boy for their shower plaster walls and all I can say is WOW ,it came out so beautifully. Everyone on their team was professional, had great communication and overall just great at what they do. I will definitely refer Stucco Boy to future clients. read more

I've worked with their sister company before and I really appreciated how smooth the process went. The estimator I met with (Ron) was great, talked me through the different options I had for the exterior of my mom's home as this was all new to me. He gave me his recommendations but I appreciate the options he left on the estimate We ended up doing smooth stucco but it looks great! We're really happy with the project read more

I recently remodeled the exterior of my home here in Long Beach. When looking for contractors that had plenty of experience on stucco, Stucco Boy was the first company to pop up. Jereme the owner of Stucco Boy came out to give me an estimate, and while we were talking he told me about his background and his experience with Stucco. There was constant communication with him and his project manager, which as a homeowner is one of the top priorities when choosing a contractor. The results turned out AMAZING. I couldn't be any happier, especially with a fair price. Thank you Stucco Boy read more

I did not make false accusations. The employees at Stucco Boy at that time we're very honest and forthcoming. They were the ones that told me about that worker. This was mentioned at the arbitration and the arbitration never even came to see the job. That's why I do not believe in arbitration and will never use arbitration again. You can talk about me all you want but the bottom line people can come and see my home and they will judge for themselves. The work was very poorly done. The prep work is the foundation of good work and it was never properly done. You tried to fix the original first round of the stucco but were unable to fix the mess. That is what happened and so I left my phone number on my post so they would know I am telling the truth. The bottom line the job was poorly done, those are the facts. I have received two visitors from people that saw my post and they were thankful that I allowed them to come and see my home. One of those visitors had received an estimate from you and that's why he wanted to come and see my home. read more

Had my house rough stucco resurfaced to smooth stucco. They did a great job! Ron was amazing as well. He helped me from start to finish. Texted and called always in a timely manner. Communication was great.Would definitely recommend to friends and family. read more

I hired stucco boy to do stucco on my house. I was very please with the service I received from the office staffing to the crew on site. I will be using them for any future! If you have any renovation work reach out to them and they have solutions for you at a good price read more

Stucco Boy did an AMAZING smooth stucco job for my property. It loos exactly how I wanted it to. Their prices are very competitive and the crew is efficient and hard-working. I highly recommend them to handle any kind of stucco work. read more

We love the final results of our house. The pricing was fair and where we expected it to be. There were some scheduling and communication issues but the job got finished on time and looked great. This was done in the height of covid which could have added to these issues. Jesus and his team worked hard to make sure we were satisfied and that all concerns were met in the end. I would for sure use them again and highly recommend their work. read more

Made an appt on a Sat they never showed So i called during the week to reschedule They tell me they didn't come because it was raining Ok no call to cancel? Gave them another chance to redeem there self.Made another appt this Sat another no show no call nothing Save time find another contractor that is not wasting your time read more

We hired Builder Boy to re-stucco our home. Jereme and his team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable in helping make the right decisions in keeping the historical yet contemporary look of our Floral Park, Santa Ana ranch house. We couldn't be happier with the outcome! The crew was always on time and got the job done as scheduled. We will definitely be hiring them again for our next project! read more

I have used Builder Boy on several projects over the years. Everything from indoor and outdoor painting, 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. read more

This review is strictly for the customer service and quote process. I was looking for a specialist to repair some stucco damage at a home. I called and reached a friendly voice who assured me that since it was an "office day" the team would be able to get me a quote by EOD. I emailed my pics and a summary right over. That was on 6/12. My emails were unanswered and I was forced to find an alternative plan. I should have heeded the other warnings on Yelp. One star for answering the phone and one star for giving me hope. If you are too busy or uninterested in the scope of the job it would be professional to decline. My SLAs are too strict to wait around. read more

Unless you have $1500.00 to spend then don't call these people. No small jobs. Don't waste your time. And their pretty arrogant about it too. read more

I needed some stucco repair. Called 5/1/15. Spoke with Liz. She asked me to email pictures which I did the same day. She said Kenny would call me with a quote. No contact for three days so I called again. Liz assured me Kenny would contact me soon. Two weeks later 5/12, still no contact. Called Liz again. She said she would ask Kenny to call me that day. Nothing. Liz was very nice and friendly over the phone but it seems Kenny doesn't give a S*#@. If my job was too small for Stucco Boy to bother with then they should have just been upfront about it and told me. I'm going to give my business to someone else. UPDATE 5/20/15: Jordan Russell, the sales manager called me. He explained it was a miscommunication. He claimed they had quotes requests from two people named Wendy and Kenny contacted the other Wendy??? Coincidence or excuse, I don't know but it certainly could have been cleared up with a simple 60 second phone call. It was only after I posted this Yelp review that I finally got a call from BuilderBoy. I deal with customer service too and if a customer called my company and said they never received a quote from me, when I know I sent the quote, I'd pick up the phone and speak to the customer. But maybe that's just me. read more

I can't speak to their actual stucco workmanship, but this review is for their quoting processes or lack thereof. We requested a quote for a Stucco Retaining Wall with no special requirements as a way to build a professional relationship with Builder Boy back in Q4 2015. To present date, we haven't received anything besides a generic cover letter and a couple of marketing fliers. Follow-up phone calls yielded a return call promise, but nothing more. Having worked with contractors on many building projects, this is a red flag to consumers. A company that seems disinterested in new business may likely be poorly managed, incapable of meeting project deadlines, and/or lacks good business practices. Common sense would dictate that if you are too busy for new business, you politely decline the quote request. We received competitive quotes from other contract professionals within 5 business days. read more

I have used these guys for two separate projects and I was extremely satisfied with the work. I had a stucco job and paint job completed and each time the company was professional, easy to communicate with and have helped make the exterior of my home look better than the day I purchased it. I would recommend them for any project and will most likely use them again in the near future for a hard scape project. read more

These guys did a great job on a window patch for my house. Previous contractor did a poor job and they were able to work with the situation and make it seamless. I'll be painting the house later this summer so biggest part of this was matching the texture. Thanks Kenny! read more

we recently had Jereme and Jake give a quote on restucco our home. Price was comparable to another contractor but stucco boy got the job. Ran into a couple extras along the way as the weep screed was rusted out and needing replacment . Price was very fair. Work completed in a timely manner and worked around the inspections with no issues. Alex who ran the crew and Jesus who installed the foam pop outs at the windows were both top notch craftsmen. They did what was asked when asked with no questions. Thank you for the job well done read more

Jereme did a great job stuccoing part of my condo's exterior wall on my third floor unit in downtown Long Beach. I'd called 11 other contractors and no one would touch the 3rd-floor job because it required either a boom or scaffolding. Jereme saved the day by not only TAKING the job, but also by helping correctly rebuild the interior wall (prior to stuccoing the outside) and seeing to it that the bathroom window was reinstalled in a timely manner. He and his crew are fast and efficient. He also has his business license on file with the City of Long Beach, so there was no delay in getting the work done and inspected quickly. read more

I called Stucco Boy for some patching on the back of my home. The estimator came out and was great to work with. He suggested I redo the whole back of the house so the patching isn't obvious. I went with his suggestion and it looks great! I will definitely be using them again when I am ready to stucco my entire exterior. They were great to work with, got the estimate to me in a timely manner and got the work done quickly. Thank you Stucco Boy! read more

Called for an estimate. They came out, looked at the house, and promised an estimate. Then they never followed up. Very unimpressive.

The guys at Stucco Boy are awesome! I had Jereme come out to do an estimate and it was even better than expected! Workers were on time every day and very professional. Ended up going with a sand finish to save some money and I'm glad I did, they did a fantastic job! Will recommend for sure! read more

Stucco Boy did a fantastic job re-stuccoing our entire house and garage. Their crew was very professional and always showed up on time. We also used them for painting our pergolas and exterior windows and doors. read more

We suffered water damage from the January rainstorms and Stucco Boy saved the day! Jereme came out and spent a good amount of time truly assessing where the problem was instead of just patching things as had previously been done. He made a very stressful situation manageable with his attention to detail and knowledge of construction. Our exterior wall needed major repairs but now looks better than ever and has been waterproofed. Highly recommend!!! read more

Stucco Boy's crew were professional and did great work. We have been burned so many times with bad contractors. Stucco Boy was a breath of fresh air! Johnathan was great to work with. He came out to the house and gave a fair assessment on the job and was receptive to my requests. Didn't get many "no" from him and he worked well with a diligent home owner. I will definitely use this company again for future projects and would recommend them to family/friends. Thank you all! read more

I have personally worked with Kenny at Stucco Boy. He has helped me with several estimates as well as used or products. Their company has been a great company to work with. If you need any home project, contact stucco boy or builder boy. Professional and a great company to work with read more

They did a great job on my place putting stucco up. The color and texture came out perfect! Extremely timely and efficient too!

I'm speechless on what these gentlemen did they came in and they resolved my stucco needs! Clean efficient and timely! Appreciate all you guys. Thanks again hope you enjoyed that pizza I got you fellas! read more

Not sure about the "bad experience" reviews, but in my opinion, Kenny and his crew were professional, timely, and did what they said they were going to do. The quality of work performed on my house is top notch and looks spectacular! Special thanks to Leo for some advise on other projects I'm currently working on. Again thanks Kenny! Excellent job! read more

I am reviewing on behalf of my boss. He has an older house that had several places that needed repair. I set up the consultation appointment and they were very helpful and accommodating as my boss has a very hectic schedule. They were friendly and extremely helpful. My boss said that the appointment went very well and hes extremely happy with the results! I will definitely be recommending them in the future! read more

I had some wood siding removed from my house. Stucco Boy removed the wood and matched my existing stucco perfectly. You would never know the wood was even there! They installed some foam shutters and a ledge. Kenny Cloutier made sure all my needs were met. The workers were all very nice. They arrived on time and were very efficient. Everything was cleaned up and hosed down before they left. What more could you ask for? I would highly recommend Stucco Boy to all of my friends. Anna Warkentin k read more

Kenny came out to estimate the job at my house the last week of November and said he would have prices for me in a week. I heard back from him about a month later saying he thought he had sent the estimate out but realized that he hadn't. I just called the office to try to get the estimate and was told that the scope of the work I wanted was more than they could handle and that Kenny had never put together a bid. I'm not sure how this company stays in business. read more

I had several areas around my house where the stucco needed patching. We decided to install a few new windows in our home and in doing so we had to break out some of the stucco. Jereme and Kenny came out to take a look at my house and gave me some helpful information. They showed me where we did a good job on the windows installing them and where I didn't realize I had "compromised the weatherproofing" They fixed the weatherproofing issue at no extra charge. Long story short, I decided to go with Stucco Boy because they were honest upfront and one of the cheaper bids I received. They were very helpful throughout the process and did an amazing job at patching my new windows. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Thanks again!!! read more

We called Stucco Boy for some exterior work on our home and also utilized their services from Builder Boy for some drywall finishing work. We can't say enough good things about our experience. Kenny came out to give us a quote and he was knowledgeable, professional and always available by phone. We had two of their employees complete our jobs and they were both extremely polite and efficient. Very pleased with the quality of their finished product. After a lot of bad experiences with flaky construction folks we were relieved to find Stucco Boy and would definitely recommend their work. read more

Similar to another review I can't speak to their actual work as I couldn't make it through the scheduling process. Shockingly their scheduling person doesn't know where Redondo Beach is which is hard to understand since their office is in Long Beach (according to mapquest 17 miles door to door). After trying for 10 minutes to explain where Redondo Beach is and going through Kenny's daily schedule for the next week and a half I gave up. Based on a conversation with Kenny it seems like they know what they are doing. However I have no interest in working with a company that makes even the simplest tasks painful and time consuming. read more
