Wow! Just wow! It's so rare these days to have a contractor perform a job to your expectation (and…read morebeyond). We had put in a new staircase so we needed sheetrock work. My concern with this job was getting a team that could match the flat untextured walls of our recently remodeled home so that it looked like the new walls/sheet rock was always there. Fernando and his team were amazing! They were extremely responsive, came in the very next day and completed the entire job in 3 days at a quality that was better than I expected. You could tell that his crew were craftsmen and really took pride in what they were doing - as if it were their own home. Thank you Fernando! I'm super pleased with outcome. -kem

I got an immediate callback, a bid based on a photo, and next day service. When my mistake (missing insulation) meant Fernando had to come back, he willingly did so, brought the materials with him, and did not just that job, but a small additional repair I tacked on. All with a smile and very affordable. The customer service was phenomenal! Highly recommended.

I got one bid for sanding and repainting in certain places. Then Tony Machado came to give me a bid. He talked me out of doing any painting. He explained that I should wait a few years, that the issues are minor and won't hurt my old growth redwood siding at all. It's more complicated than this simple explanation, but let's just say that he saved me a load of money and talked himself out of some income. That's a rare, honest worker. I'll surely use the Machado Brothers when the time comes to paint.

Excellent paint job by these guys and their employees Clayton and Mike. Highly recommended.read more

We recently had a need for drywall repair for 2 different sites and, without hesitation, I…read morecontacted Partida Drywall. Javier and his team previously worked on a major drywall project for us. Two years later, we still received the same high level of professionalism, care, and respect from Partida Drywall. Oftentimes for whatever reason, home projects don't go as planned. But that was not the case with our project. It was completed on schedule and seamlessly. Javier was upfront and transparent with us, providing a timeline that was realistic and clear, and updates throughout the project. Ruben was the main person who worked on our project. He is a master craftsman who always showed up early, is polite and friendly. My first review for Partida Drywall still holds true and is affirmed by the excellent work we received with our latest project. Thank you, Partida Drywall.

They worked continuously for five months, applying level 5 smooth finish to numerous walls and ceilings. While there were a few missteps and revisions to the initial estimate, I'm ultimately satisfied with the final result. Due to time constraints, my own painters had to address a few texture imperfections, but overall, the process was smooth enough that I would recommend Javier for large, multi-month renovation projects.

When a contractor installed a fan and left us with a ceiling that looked like Frankenstein's monster, Lee came to the rescue and found a beautiful way to hide all the wires in the drywall - then he covered it all up so no one even knows it's there. Our house walls are a mix of various textures and styles, and Lee matched all of them for us. He's friendly, kind, and the best in town. I give him 5,000,000 stars!

Lee Smith has a great phone personality, if only his drywall installation could compare. I hired…read moreLee Smith to finish kitchen backsplash drywall which was removed for electrical before installing new countertops. I had more than half of it cut and in place and the other pieces more or less sized to the spaces. He showed up with a second person at 9:30 am, although I was expecting one person only, and he informed his hourly rate was $70 and his help was $60. They then proceeded to take one hour to unpack tools even though his truck was parked right outside the site near the garage entry. By 2:30 he had done almost nothing. By that time I had done quite a bit of work myself patching plugs in the ceiling, cutting 16" width around the breaker box, and replacing insulation behind the counters. I asked if he wanted to help with the insulation but he said he didn't have any gloves. He told me I had brought the wrong type of insulation so I had to show him the packaging and explain it was mineral wool. He did put a few pieces on an interior wall that is open to the next room, which I next explained would not be necessary. They did not use the tools they took out aside from mainly razor knives they used to whittle away around the outlets I had intentionally undercut so the outlets could easily be found to size the openings perfectly. They did not seem familiar with the tools I was using. Then when I pointed out the drywall was supposed to have been cut flush to the box so the metal tabs could hold the outlets tight against the drywall, they said "Oh, those are Mickey Mouse ears, some contractors cut them off!" They also let the piece of drywall fall behind the counter instead of holding it up to the base of the cabinets, leaving a gap, and resulting in the outlet box being overcut. Le assured me all the gaps would be taped and would fill in nicely with hot mud, but I couldn't tell by when that was ever going to happen, and where did all the gaps come from anyways? I had already cut the drywall without any gaps. It took them so long to cut out around the outlets so why was the drywall damaged around the outlets? Lee mentioned in passing he was a licensed contractor but he never presented a card with a license number. He has not responded to my text requesting his license number. At 2:30 pm I requested that they leave.

Thank you Mark for everything you did to get our property ready for sale…read more I very much appreciate the skill and quality of Mark's work. He came up with some very innovative problem solving for some difficult issues saving us additional hassle, and the quality of his work was excellent mo matter whether he was doing electrical, plumbing, carpentry, repairs, installation or other jobs to ready our house for sale. I would definitely use his services again.

We didn't end up hiring Jimmy for the job, but he was incredibly helpful throughout the process…read more This was my first large project, and I was still learning how to evaluate contractors. Jimmy came out twice to give us an estimate and was very honest about the situation -- he ultimately declined the job because the previous contractor had installed the drywall incorrectly and the work was in poor condition. Even after that, Jimmy generously took the time to advise us on how the original contractor could fix the issues and suggested a plan to correct it more efficiently. He never charged us for his time and was simply trying to help. That level of honesty and willingness to help is rare. Thanks again Jimmy!
