We are embarrassingly behind on writing this review, for work that Muir Construction did at our…read morehome in 2022. I came back to write this review because David and his company were so impressive. He was one of the few companies that was willing and able to tackle a particularly tricky job - we have a strange spot for a deck where a traditional one can't be built, and needed to have platform-ed deck panels put in. Most construction companies were not willing to try something new, but David was; he's smart and a fun person with whom to talk, and he was very honest with us throughout the entire process. He stuck to his original estimates and was really communicative. We would definitely work with Muir Construction again in the future.

When you hire David Williamson of Muir Construction for your project, you get two people. First you…read moreget the contractor who sincerely is on top of his game to get your job done. He pays attention to the minute details you appreciate, handles the small and big problems as they arise with innovative solutions, maintains constant contact with you to address your every concern. That would be enough. But then secondly, there's David, the artist. And that's where Muir Construction really is a notch above the rest. David is truly a visual artist who has his art displayed at various venues. He utilizes that same artistic eye and applies it to the details of the job to achieve something beyond satisfaction. He brings your vision to life. That is what he did for me for my two bathrooms. And on top of that, you get a real human being who cares about you. And that is extraordinary and something to be treasured. --Elissa Kerhulas, Writer, Teacher

I would highly recommend Ace and David. He is on time and…read morereliable. I had him come out to fix some leaky faucets and he ended up fixing light fixtures and helping me with some other problems. He even went to the local hardware store to get some parts and ended up getting me some other things I needed. I have already booked him for a second appointment. He's also easy to talk to and explains what he's doing so you can understand. Highly recommended. I had David out again to do quite a few jobs. He did jobs I hadn't even planned on doing. I am redoing a room and he was an immense help. He put furniture together. Changed all my locks and put in new lighting among other things. I don't understand the negative reviews. He has always been professional and pleasant to work with. All my jobs have been done with care.

My other sister asked her Santa Barbara friends for a recommendation for a handyman, and Dave at Ace Handyman Services was their suggestion. Despite the distance, and my sister's issues, Dave took care of the situation from soup-to-nuts. My sister is happy, and I'm less stressed knowing there is an ethical, professional handyman I can depend on while I'm out of state. I recommend Dave at Ace Handyman Services wholeheartedly!

He will not underbid to get the contract but he will do the job right - every time. He is hard working, straight shooting, and comes with no BS. With a ton of experience in residential and commercial projects he's been able to fix a lot of issues that other roofers have missed (or caused) on a few properties! For the central coast, I cannot imagine giving a higher recommendation roofing than I give Value Added Building. Seriously a terrific company and someone we continue to work with on a personal and professional level. Thanks Walter!

Walter came to look at one of the apartments that was for rent. This was right after we informed him he didn't get the job. He looked around, never even took an application. Then we get notified from Fair employment and housing that he's suing the owner. States she refused to rent to him.. TOTALLY FALSE. So beware if he buys a job for you. It's pu lic record look it up. Oh and he's got himself some lawyer Credentials. I'm assuming this wasn't the first time.

Eduardo and his team came highly recommended by a friend. He provided his professional insight and was instrumental in guiding us with the long list of decisions we didn't even know we'd need to make. He's personable, charming, and felt like an instant friend. We told him what we envisioned and he gave us some great color suggestions and options to help narrow down the seemingly endless and overwhelming colors that exist. Perhaps we were a bit naïve, this being our first home purchase and first time being involved in a home renovation, but it is no simple feat! We'd imagined a couple guys with their paint cans and a couple brushes, but it is a whole entire operation. I mean, it's intense. They immediately got to work with ladders going up, shutters coming down, drilling and hammering and sanding OH MY! Once things got started, it became clear that this old house would be no simple project. To top it off, many of the doors and windows needed restoration, which they tackled with their handy dandy arsenal of tools, knowledge, and experience. The guys were prompt, courteous, and worked tirelessly each day. You could tell they have a great rapport with one another. Eduardo would stop by a couple times a day to check in on things, and chat with us about where we were in the process and what decisions needed to be made. I reluctantly admit that we are indecisive by nature and we changed our minds a couple times throughout the journey, but they were patient, understanding, and worked with us through our madness. Who knew something as seemingly mundane as choosing colors could actually be so emotionally taxing? Yall, it's heavy! Eduardo made some bold suggestions that we initially met with apprehension, but we ultimately ended up going with his recommendations. We should have trusted his judgement to begin with! No regrets! Now that the job is complete, we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Our house looks revitalized. This paint job feels like a refreshing breath of fresh air. I love every decision, every detail, the gorgeous application. I'd hug it if I could. He will be the only person we call for any future paint job and without hesitation, absolutely recommend him for any of your painting needs.

Throughout the project, David was the professional, and the completed steps are testament. Also, he always left the worksite clean, so that at the end of each day's work, you'd not know that he had been there. My husband is a retired master carpenter and oversaw the work: everything was just right, including spacing between steps. We will continue to work with David Straughan.
