I have used Edward for YEARS. First and foremost he is licensed & knowledgable. He and his crew are professional and do high quality work on the given time line. He moves projects along quickly and effectively. He put in my quartz kitchen counter top, redid my kitchen plumbing, installed a new kitchen window, re drywalled various areas, and reworked my kitchen electrical! My kitchen is gorgeous! Next, we had a flood issue with our living room (built in 74...step down style). We called Edward at 6pm and he came by as we were in a panic. He got us stable and then he and his guys essentially rebuilt the side of our home (new insulation, blew out concrete, regraded side yard, re stuccoed , replaced weepscrete, replaced facia, inside dry wall etc.) and after all the heavy rains this winter we had ZERO water issues! I just had him finish my guest bathroom and once again I am very pleased with the work. It is important to note that Edward will come back out and address anything minor that you may want adjusted (he will swing by on the weekend etc). I am someone who gets multiple bids and I would say Edward isn't the most expensive or the cheapest. Bottomline if they are cheap they probably are NOT licensed and bonded. I am very particular and Edward and his crew never disappoint! read more

How do you give negative stars? I do not enjoy writing or speaking ill of anyone, friend or foe, but unfortunately I felt obligated to share this recent experience that I'm fortunate that he never started any work. Please do yourself a favor, don't waste your breath or time calling him. He spoke to my wife to schedule an installation today at 9am. She provided our address and confirmed that if they finish the install in one day the cost would be $700 even, but if they went two days it would be $800 even. A few days ago Edward texted my wife saying he had an opening for Monday and he needed our address. My wife replied and said let's stick with Wednesday since no one would be home when they arrived. She texted Tuesday to confirm the appointment for the next day with no response. She texted this again to this morning and received a defensive response as he didn't feel like he did anything wrong. Sounds like drama, I know, but it all could have been easily avoided. He simply needed to say I'm sorry I misplaced the note where I wrote down your address. On top of this I found two other providers that have more experience that can do the install in 4 hours for $375! Another one from gorilla play sets website for $600. Both cheaper! Edward is not capable of being wrong or taking criticism. When I tried calling to figure out what was wrong he immediately called my pregnant wife unprofessional. I couldn't get in word in without him speaking over me so I can explain our experience with him. I've been fortunate to be incredibly successful by providing service that no one else can or is willing to do. This guy does the opposite. Good luck if you end up using him. On another note, I found Andy on craigslist and he's an awesome guy. Just search playground or playset install on craigslist and he's the only one that shows up for San Diego under services. He's charging me $375 and I told him what happened and he's coming out next week even though he's booked through mid August. read more

Hiring Edward was a HUGE mistake that ended up costing me more money & a lot of wasted time. Let's start this disaster from the beginning. I needed my sliding door track replaced as well as a new screen door, several tiles replaced and a leaky air gap repaired. I made it very clear to Edward that my main repair concerns were the door track, cracked tiles & kitchen air gap leak, and he assured me he could repair all of these issues effectively in one working day. He told me his hourly rate is $70 & one full day of work wouldn't exceed $560.00. He tried to up sell me on his full day rate & said he would return to complete any projects not finished at no additional cost. I paid him a $400 deposit which he was quick to pick up, then afterwards I texted him a question about the track part. He never replied to my texts nor my emails so I called him & left several messages, still no reply. Literally 4 days pass & still no reply, so I sent him an email stating if I don't hear from him w/in 24hrs I will assume he has stolen my $400 deposit & I would take legal action if needed. Guess what? He finally replied & gave me excuse after excuse about why he couldn't return my many texts, emails & phone calls. Then he stated he can cancel the job & return my $400 deposit as well as give me the track to have it installed by someone else, although minus $120, which he stated was for ''his time in acquiring the track'' He placed me in another bind & regardless of him unjustly keeping the $120 (with no work being done), I should have trusted my instinct & observed the many red flags & took the loss, then hired a real professional. However, hindsight is always 20/20. He showed up w/ his assistant 20 minutes late with more excuses, as well as unprepared in materials to complete the projects he was hired for. I had to run all around town to buy the materials, and then his dry vac stopped working so I had to provide them w/ my vacuum. His assistant wasn't experienced & Edward had to constantly advise him on how to install the tiles. Then his assistant tried to sell me an energy drink that he sells on the side, some type of multi-level marketing shenanigans (No joke). At this point I was beginning to think this was some major cosmic joke & I was expecting Ashton Kutcher to show up saying I've been Punk'd! It went from bad to really bad.... At 3:00 Edward proceeds to tell me his day is complete & it's time for them to pack up. I've never heard of any "full day rate'' end at 3:00, at least not in America, and a typical full work day ends at 5:00, esp when there are still unfinished projects that were promised would be repaired. According to Edward, the standard full work day ends at 3:00, and any work performed after this time will be billed hourly. So, I paid him $650 for the track replacement & $560 for a ''full day's rate'' to complete the other smaller projects, and NONE of the repairs they did were finished properly. I told him the air gap was still not fixed & he started to express a negative attitude, as if it was my fault he didn't manage his day well & kept leaving the job to answer phone calls. He looked over the air gap then proceeded to only tighten it quickly, not seal nor replace it as we agreed. He assured me it was fixed then said he would return in a few days to install the new screen door as well as adjust the track & clean up the glue strips, then he abruptly left. After he left, I ran the sink to test if the leak was still present, and it sure was, nothing was improved! He knew he didn't fix the air gap leak properly which is why he left so quickly. Then hours later the grout they replaced started to crack & flake, looking worse than before. I called him & left a message explaining I was disappointed in his lack of proper repairs as well as the grout cracking & the air gap leak that wasn't fixed. He never returned my calls so I emailed him. Days later he responds telling me he will not do anymore repairs to my unit & the tile grout cracking is due from it being non-sanded, not sanded grout. So, he basically took no responsibility for his choice in using the wrong grout. Any decent experienced professional would of never used non-sanded grout for my tiles, let alone refuse to repair the shoddy work performed. This is common sense repair knowledge that he should of used. He then tells me he will not be returning to install my new screen door & to find another contractor. So, after spending a total of $1,210.00 I was left with cracked grout, uneven tiles, a leaky air gap, an unfinished track that needed adjusting, no screen door & wasted time. Edward is a parasitic con man who will sell you any story to get the job, then he'll show up late w/ his inexperienced assistant who will try to sell you a questionable energy drink, then do a shoddy at best job, then take your money & run, never taking responsibility for his inferior work. If you value your money & time then avoid this schmuck like the plague! read more

This contractor is horrible. He overcharged us by a ton for hanging doors and everyone was crooked . he said just leave it open when you're showing the house. Plus when he talks to you he's VERY rude. Do not use him. read more

This was the worst experience I have ever had working with a contractor! We had agreed over the phone on the price, location, and time for the install of our swingset. Three days before the day of the install he sent me a text message and said he could come the next day as he had an opening in his schedule. I said that would work great and asked him to confirm the time. He said between 9am-10am and asked that I send him my address and approval of cost (which he already had from our first phone call). I asked if he can't arrive by 9am then we would need to stick with our original install day. He never responded. The day before the original agreed upon install date I sent him a text message asking him to confirm the time he would arrive, and received no response. The morning of the install I sent him another text message asking him to confirm the time (so I could plan my work schedule accordingly) and he responded and said because I never confirmed with him the address and approval of cost from 3 days ago (all information he already had!) that he assumed I had selected another contractor and could no longer come because he had another appointment and said "THIS TRAIN HAS LEFT THE BUILDING". I could not believe how rude he was, as if this was our fault?! We scheduled this two weeks prior, waited two weeks for the installation, and then got completely stood up. Worst experience ever, however perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that I didn't have to pay him any money, especially after reading these other horrible reviews of his actual work. read more

Edward did a superb job in removing a Jen-Weld double Paine window and installing a new one. His expertise was excellent. Would hire him for other jobs with out question. His price was more then fair in view of time to complete the job. Jim read more

We first hired Edward 3 years ago to do some work on our rental apartment complex. They were small jobs at first and then we had him remodel the kitchens and bathrooms in the apartments. We were so impressed, that we have continued to hire him to do other jobs in our home.The latest was a very difficult remodel of our home office. He did all the rewiring for electronic equipment, lighting, flooring...you name it he did it. Whats amazing about Edward is that he can do just about anything. He is not afraid to call his experts if he comes across a problem and double checks himself. I think that is very rare. He is very patient, knowledgable, reliable and above all honest. He's going to next tackle our outdated bathrooms. Please don't hesitate to call him. I might be sorry for having written this review because he might not be available now when I need him. read more

Edward did a window repair job for us and was beyond anything we could have imagined! He came out in a timely manner, got right to business, and really cared about our bottom line! Extremely knowledgeable, personable, and efficient we highly recommend him for any of your window or home repair needs! read more

Work quality is average, but his follow up needs improvement. He will not return calls. We made concessions for parking to help a worker out. He will not return the guest parking pass or return any calls. Think about this before you consider using him. read more

Edward came to fix a leak. He did a great job at determining the cause of the leak and very professionally repairing the problem. He and his team of contractors where on time and each step of the 4 day process was completed with Edward personally overseeing the work every day. I recommend Edward for any home repair work needed. He does an EXCELLENT job! He is a true professional. read more

Edward is phenomenal, he has worked with my family for many years. Everytime we need any replacements, installments or adjustments in our home, Edward and his crew is there without a doubt! I was extremely shocked to see some of the rude comments people have made. Just shows me how ungrateful and negative people can be in this world. However, without a doubt, my family and I will continue to use Edwards services indeed. His hard work speaks for itself. read more

I had been looking for 3 or more years for a simple fix for my 40 year old aluminum sliding window (4ft x 6ft) that had gone out of square. It wouldn't close, or open properly. Every, contractor, estimator, handyman, ...all said the same thing ... buy a new window. Well, I didn't care to spend $1,000 for a new window. Then Edwards took a look. Edward's fixed the window that couldn't be fixed. . After putting the window square again (he made it look easy) I polished the aluminum, put Wd40 on the slides and all works perfectly. Best $140 I ever spent. God bless an honest man with skills! read more

We received a recommendation from a large home improvement store. Edward called me before I was even home for my trip to the store. He gave me a fair estimate and I accepted. He was in constant communication with me regarding times and materials needed. He was on time and was professional. My job looks amazing and I could not be happier. Edward took the time to look at other jobs around our home and give me advice. His prices are fair and the work outstanding. He really helped me out of a bind. I hired him without meeting him and am glad I took the chance. I will be hiring him again in the near future. read more

We were in urgent need of a small shelter to be built around our water heater that is housed outside in a flimsy aluminum structure. Edward came out the very same day I called him and gave us a reasonable quote and a plan of action. He was also able to schedule the work within five days, beating the impending rain storm. We now have a beautiful and safe shelter for our water heater -- so that the pilot light will no longer get wet and go out, leaving my 84-year old mother and our caregivers with no hot water. We are very appreciative & think our new water heater shelter looks beautiful and ties in with the outside of our home. Thank you Edward!!! read more
