What started as a stressful situation turned into a smooth and surprisingly positive experience thanks to this contractor. He handled everything from insulation to drywall repair and repainting, and the quality of the work is outstanding. The drywall looks flawless--you'd never even know there was damage to begin with--and the paint job came out clean, even, and professional throughout the entire area. What really stood out was his attention to detail and communication. He kept me updated every step of the way, showed up on time, and made sure everything was done right, not rushed. He also took the time to protect the surrounding areas and left the space clean when the job was finished, which I really appreciated. If you're in Santa Clarita and need any drywall, insulation, or paint work--especially after something like water damage--I highly recommend him. It's not easy to find someone this reliable and skilled. Definitely someone I would hire again without hesitation.

Drywall Repair Finisher

I asked Luis to skim coat a badly pitted wall over the vanity in my bathroom (residual mirror…read moreadhesive and wallpaper paste). He made himself available the next day and plastered the wall with a first coat. Next day he came back, sanded, added a finish coat and after a couple hours returned again to complete the finished sanding. The result was pristine. Throughout the process, Luis was responsive, professional and efficient. He will be my go to guy for drywall in the future!

I had a positive experience with Luis back in 2020 where he fixed a bad skim job by another…read morecontractor for me with a bunch of patches, and I thought Luis' skills were pretty superior. Over the years I have been doing DIY fixing of more bad spots around the house but I also work so I was never going to get around to all of it. I decided to call Luis back recently because I didn't want to do it myself anymore and I want to repaint fresh non-patchy walls. I hired Luis to reskim two bedrooms and two accent walls and some other miscellaneous spots that I added after he started working at my house. Luis was at my house for 3 half-days (1.5 in total) before telling me he was finished with the walls. I was (still) happy as a clam at that point and paid him in full for what was completed, fully trusting that the work was done skillfully based on my prior experience. (He was coming back one more time to finish the misc. stuff that I added on and I would pay for that part then.) Anyway, imagine my horror when I checked on his "finished" work and saw imperfections everywhere and tons of sanding dust still left behind on the walls, switches, and even mud on the door knobs. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves from here with brief descriptions of what's being shown. -Pictures 1-3: Some of the imperfections from the first time Luis said he was "finished." -Picture 4: His first fix-it visit(half day). He was supposed to find all the imperfections and patch them (the yellow highlighter spots), except he was patching bubbles with more bubbles. I had to patch all the spots again with my own compound and added a ton of other ones that he missed. Took me two full nights. -Pictures 5&6: His second fix-it and final visit (another half day). He was supposed to sand over all the patches and walls to leave them with a smooth & uniform finish that's ready for primer & paint. This was how I found them after he left. I sent him these pictures and told him to not come back as I had given him 2 chances to fix and he failed both times. There was no response from him. -Picture 7: I made only a partial payment of the balance on Luis' last visit because part of the remaining work was him making the corners of a ceiling overhang crisp, the corners are crisp but somehow the overhang is now squiggly when that wasn't the problem before. -Picture 8: I had taped up all my trims before Luis came as I didn't want any mud/compound to get on them, but I thought my crown molding were safe. They were not. He had busted them pretty badly with his electric sander in 7 spots and dinged them in at least 10 other spots but those were minor and I was able to superglue them back together. I did take on the repair of the major dings myself because I wanted to tape all of it up before he came back for more sanding. Luis and I had good rapport and I actually liked talking to him, but once the job took a turn for the worse, he never acknowledged that he didn't do a good enough job. He instead said things like, 1. "You're not supposed to look at the walls with a light from the side like that" and "I've never seen anyone look at a wall like you." --Yes, technically he's right, walls usually have paint on them which would have made these imperfections painfully obvious even when looking at them straight on, but until there is paint, this is how drywallers check for imperfections and fix them before they get permanently sealed with paint. (I had two painters (who also skim coat) come over for quotes and this was how they both checked to see how much prep work they would have to do before painting). 2. "I could fix these walls 10 times and something will still come up."--it really shouldn't if he did it right the first time, he's supposed to be a professional, not a DIYer like me. 3. "You've got to be kidding me. I'm at a point where I want to just refund your money and get out of this insanity"--after he came and saw all the patches I added to the walls (that he missed). I know what he was trying to imply and still gave him my electric sander to use so he could finish the job. With all that said, guess who is still stuck sanding the walls now after paying Luis to do the job and saying I didn't want to DIY this anymore. And with all these patches that I had to add to cover up his mudding imperfections/bubbles, it's looking like I'm going to end up with patchy walls again, which is exactly where I was when I handed Luis this project. What a joke. And the crown molding that I fixed up? That still needs to be repainted as well. I wasn't going to leave this review, but after several weeks and my walls still needing to be finished, I thought I would share my experience.

Writing this now because I just saw an outlet underneath the sink that's not at all mounted to the wall and was reminded of how ridiculous this whole ordeal was. They'd come maybe 2 times a week, maybe less, sit in the driveway and wait for each other for a while, and they'd always forget what they were supposed to do. Then they'd say "ah ya we remember now, gotta go to Home Depot" and take another 1-2 hours. The pace of work was incredibly slow. When they were redoing our kitchen, we came home and saw that the main handyman had bought cabinets for the sink that opened straight into the fridge and stove, so you could barely open them. It was on a corner, so clearly a corner / lazy Susan cabinet was needed. Delayed the job by however many days. They cracked the sink they put in, and there's carvings in the countertops from where they messed up with sloppy cutting. When they installed the AC window units, they stained the window panes, sink, and the outside of the house with the insulation foam and didn't attempt to clean it until I asked. They didn't get much up; still stained. They didn't put calking around the countertop they put in behind the sink. There were a bunch of other times where similar things happened that I had to ask them to redo it or do a part of the job they'd missed.

We had CAV put up drywall and insulation in our garage, which had been gutted down to the studs. There were lots of cutouts and nooks and crannies to work around. They did a great job. I waited a few days before reviewing because after they finished I painted the room -- that's when you get a good close look at the workmanship, and I was impressed. We also had a carpenter working at our house one day who commented on the skill of the drywaller. We got another bid and CAV was considerably lower. Part of the reason was that Carlos suggested a way to save money by using an orange peel finish, which cuts down on the labor time. So the bids were not for identical work, but give CAV credit for coming up with a way to save the client some money. They are very busy, but we were persistent and we're pleased with the outcome. read more

### 2023 review 4/100 ###…read more I really didn't want to leave a bad review even after all the sub-par jobs they did but... I'm still and beyond SHOCKED about what happened this morning. I caught both Nikita and Donat RED-HANDED trespassing on my property USING MY GARAGE CODE TO ENTER MY HOME... TWO MONTHS AFTER I FIRED THEM. They claim they "left some tools behind" so that's why they were accessing my property WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Really? Seriously? As if they have the right to use my garage code to enter my home at any time? I tried to keep my calm tho I was freaking out, asked them to please leave. I have an appointment I have to get to on time and to call/text me whatever it is they needed. They had the audacity to refuse to leave AFTER I just caught them red-handed trespassing, stood in front of my car preventing me to leave. WTF. I lost it. On my own property. I called Security and found out they had another job in our gated community. So basically, these Russian contractors deemed it totally acceptable to come by my house in the middle of the day, believing nobody was home and just go through my home? To steal or God knows what they were up to. I feel violated and still shocked they think it's okay to do such a thing. They've been warned by Security... should they make another attempt like they did on this day dated January 17th -or- even dare to come anywhere close to my home again, the police will get involved. I filed a police report to have this on record that I caught them red-handed about to enter my garage. As far as their qualifications for contractor job... I had high hopes when I chose this father and son team based on the other 5-star reviews and since their bids were comparable to another contractor. However very soon we realized as the job started that they were unreliable and basically don't know what they were doing. They "learnt" how to put up drywall a year ago by watching YouTube videos. And also turned out they are not licensed. Since they don't know what they are going, and kept asking me "what needs to get done" or "ask Home Depot what tools and materials are needed", their quotes are not reliable. Be warned if you discuss any jobs with them, they would end up asking for more money because "it took more work, time and effort" even when they agreed to the job and estimate. And trust me... the language barrier is REAL. Lots of mistakes on part 1 of the job putting up drywall. And part 2 painting was a botched job with paint leaked over our brown painted garage door. There were other mistakes made that cost us more money to hire someone else to fix. We couldn't keep working with them for part 3 of the project, it was a waste of our time and money, and mostly really stressful. Nikita is the son, barely 18 or 19? He 'translates' for his father Donat who doesn't speak English and never shows up earlier than 1pm to start any work because he has personal things to do. They are consistently unreliable and hard to schedule -- always saying they have other bigger jobs that seems more important for them to do. It was a major headache trying to get them to do anything and we highly regret hiring them... And now after catching them entering my home thinking nobody is home -- just proves even more so what kind of people they are. I'm beyond sick of dealing with "nice" contractors who turn out to be nothing but dishonest, scammers and untrustworthy... and now I can add trespassing on my property to my list of horror contractors stories.
