Here are some additional photos of the poor work Armando did…read more I want to add that when I wouldn't give him any more money as I already met the contract and only half the work was done. He said he wouldn't send his men anymore. But what he did do was give them my phone number because he couldn't pay them. He gave his employees my personal phone number because he couldn't pay them. After I posted this post, he has been sending me invoices. He thinks this is a joke. He's ruined. My Home cost me tens of thousands of dollars took eight weeks of my life and he thinks this is a joke. I have new men in here now, repairing all of his mess and finishing the job that was left undone.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend Armando and his crew due to how he ghosts his customers after you…read morepay in full. They actually did a great job overall. They had very positive attitudes when the color wasn't right. (Although I paid double the quote to get it done right ). They had a quite a bit of touch ups and little fixes to do before I would pay in full. Like taking off paint in places there shouldn't be paint. There was some bubbling that needed fixing from dry time issues. A lot of finishing issues that just needed to be taken care of. He told me he would be back the following day to finish and then instead did not show up and asked me for payment. I nicely told him I would not pay until the job would be done. He "pulled" his team off other jobs to finish the job completely. Which I found strange since he texted me and told me in person that he would be back to finish that day. I kindly just said if you want to be paid just finish the job like you said. So he did and he had a good attitude. They did not fix everything I asked them to fix but I didn't want to be "too nit picky" so I accepted what they did and paid them. Two days later I noticed they painted the wrong sheen on our wall in one area so it looks like two different paints when lights hit it at night. I contacted him and gave him 10 days to respond. I got no response so I called and left a voicemail as well and still got no response. I see he has done this to other people. It's sad because I was going to use them for many projects in the future but instead they will ghost you once the project is paid for and will not stand behind their work. I will attach photos of what they left behind that gave them the 2 stars instead of 5. We were very kind to them and very respectful and got them breakfast on a weekend out of our gratitude for their work. Not very good or kind in return. Not very ethical. I do want to say that overall I am happy with the job and that is why I am giving him more than one star. I just don't think anyone who is unethical in their business practices should think they will get away with it.

They were prompt, professional and very thorough. No cutting corners! Showed up when they said and were impeccably neat. I also had them re-finish the exterior of my front door which had deteriorated with the urethane cracking and peeling. Jose meticulously sanded the door and applied primer and then a solid stain. The photo speaks for itself. My door is now a showstopper! I will absolutely use Jose and his team for all future painting needs and will highly recommend them to friends and neighbors.

(Yelp won't rotate the pix correctly. ) James is a master craftsman & carpenter! He is extremely honest, professional, and has an unmatched attention for detail.

Getting ready to sell my home for sale and have a plethora of work prior to listing. One aspect of…read morethe renovations I needed was carpentry work done on an overhanging patio on the exterior of the home. There was a ton of rotting wood and I needed it completely fixed to not only look great before getting an exterior paint job, but also to PASS INSPECTION. I have gone through extensive research when picking contractors.. maybe 7-8 quotes for each job, including everything to flooring to counters to Paint. When it came to carpentry I was surprised on how hard it was to find consistent quotes. My job was for the most part very vague, Please fix select boards with wood rot on a giantic overhanging patio so that it will look good for paint and also pass inspection. Most people didn't know where to even start it was so bad. Others told me not to waist my time and just completely remove the structure as it will save me money. Others came in as a low bid and seemed optimistic, but when time came for work they had no license. No bueno. Moises on the other hand was what I was looking for. Someone competent who actually understood how to handle the job and articulated it to me properly. Moises actually stuck to his original timeline, and involved me in decision making as the project progressed. On the final day after project was completed, I was surprised to see that he actually replaced/repaired more of the work than I originally thought needed. It was refreshing to work with a contractor who DIDNT try to cut corners. He also cleaned up on both days after his work really well. Moises is defiantly a good contractor, supplies all proof of license/insurance and cares about quality. Will refer to friends/famliy.

I showed John a picture of one he did before, told him I liked redwood, and he was off to the races. In just a few short days, my dilapidated 1970s fireplace was a brand new marble wonder with a custom redwood mantle and much safer for my kids. When I had a problem with a window in my kitchen, John was on the scene and took care of it before I could even get to my house to worry about it. That next week, I had a huge, upgraded window in my office overlooking the hills. John cares deeply about his clients, takes care of your home as if it were his own, and charges a fair and reasonable price for his work. He communicates with you regularly so you feel informed, empowered, and cared about. He answers questions quickly and honestly, giving you the benefit of his many years as a general contractor. Doing business with him is like working with a friend or neighbor. I highly recommend John and HomeSmith and can't wait to work with him on other projects at my home.

He dealt with issues by coming up with solid solutions, keeping in mind to consider our budget. I would highly recommend HomeSmith for consideration when planning your next home project.

Kevin and his design-build team transformed our 20 year old, dated house into the envy of our neighborhood! We went from a dark, non-functional kitchen...into a fabulous, contemporary indoor/outdoor living area. The La Cantina door opening up to our patio added a whole new dimension to the way we live and entertain. Our home has been transformed into an inviting oasis, where family and friends want to be! Kevin had so many awesome ideas on how to modernize our living space, based on our personal needs. The scope of the project grew in the design phase, and end-product totally exceeds our exceptions!! The Teknik crew and staff are all amazingly professional, helpful, and responsive to all of our questions and needs. It felt like we all functioned as a team and it was truly a pleasure to work with Teknik!

The project included all-new wall/ceiling paint and baseboards throughout the interior of the home, drywall repairs in several rooms, repainted kitchen cabinetry, new LVP flooring throughout the entire house, plumbing fixture repairs/replacements, repairs to an existing ceiling fan, and tear-down of an old patio cover and installation of a beautiful new one, among other items. Not only did they do a fantastic job and finish ahead of schedule, but they were also a pleasure to work with! Ruth and Kevin were both extremely responsive, patient, and forthcoming, and really put a personal touch on our entire experience and project from beginning to end. I really appreciate that Teknik's approach to a project plan/estimate is about thoroughly scoping the work up-front so that the estimated timeline and costs are accurate and don't unexpectedly change later on. We were up against a tricky timeline (our new baby was born during the project!) so it was very important to us that the project finished on-time and that the cost in the end was what we anticipated, which it was. On top of being very organized, communicative, and transparent, I also felt like Kevin was very well-attuned to what we were asking for and "read my mind" in proposing solutions. As first-time home owners and with this being our very first experience with remodeling, we really needed a company and team that would guide us through the process, which we definitely found with Teknik, and we learned a lot from them along the way. Thank you for the great work on our family home, and for welcoming us into the Teknik "family!" We look forward to our next project with you all!
