The steps in front of the house needed to be replaced. A number of contractors asked me to take…read morepictures of the steps with my smartphone and text it to them. It would be very difficult to give an accurate estimate that way because there's a lot of dry rot underneath the steps which needed to be inspected in-person. R&B Framing was the only company which showed up to take a look at the steps. Two days later, Jose Cedillo emailed me an estimate and thoroughly answered my questions. His company uses Redwood or cedar wood for Victorian homes, though cedar does cost extra. We were surprised by how fast his crew finished the job. They showed up on April 9th, early in the morning and worked until the evening. They arrived the next day to finish the rest of the steps and the banisters. He also painted the banisters according to the original white creme color. If it's a legacy house, they'll stick to the originality of the Victorian architecture. (Per building code regulations, when a house is considered a legacy house the paint must be the original--or close to the original color--of when the house was first built.)

Using the existing substructure that was still viable, they built this beautiful redwood deck and used a stain that we selected. All boards were stained on all sides prior to construction and protective tape was applied to the substructure so that there was no wood to wood contact. All joints were tight and gaps were consistent. Workers were polite and pleasant and on time and cleaned up after themselves . Great job!!! Highly recommended!

Update: I don't know how to respond to the response below, so I am doing it here…read more No, I did not receive an estimate, and I did send my follow-up text to the direct number you provided below. None of this communication ever happened through Yelp. When you left my house, you said you would text me the quote, which I already found a little unusual because I normally receive quotes by email. I was therefore waiting to receive the quote by text through the number you provided below. That was the only number we had been communicating through. After a couple of days, when I still had not received anything, I sent a follow-up text to that same number asking when I could expect the quote. I received no response, and I still have not received an estimate. After remediation, I contacted VDO Remodeling for an estimate for restoration work. Denys from VDO Remodeling came to my house for a completely normal consultation and said he would provide a line-item estimate. The visit itself went fine, but I never received the quote. After a couple of days, I followed up by text to ask when I could expect it, but received no response. A frustrating waste of my time. If you're not interested in taking on a project, just say so. It's basic professional courtesy.

I decided to hire Trew Built Construction to re-paint the eaves, fascia boards and door trim on my house which were in dire need of a new paint. Jake arrived on time to the job every day, was friendly and happy to answer all of my questions...(and I had a lot). He was honest about the dry rot he found in a few spots and was able to offer affordable repairs on those areas. Additionally, Jake stands by his work! He exhibited strong work ethic when a few areas did not take paint as expected, Jake returned to touch up the areas and walked around my home with me to make sure I was fully satisfied with the results. Very happy with the five start work I recieved from Trew Built Construction! Thank you, Jake!

He was however, to fix it within the time frame of the hourly rate he provided and my husband was super grateful about it. I would definitely reach out again if I need additional services. Thanks again!

I was looking for that honest straight forward OLD school contractor whose word was his bond. That's why I chose Vista Builders. I got the buns rush from other National roofers. I feel good about my choice. Vista wasn't the cheapest but they were the honest and straight forward. I liked the timely response from Jamie in the office and then, got a call from the owner himself- Bob Statham- being in business myself I know what that means to the bottom line. I will be recommending Vista Builders. Richard H

Per Bob's response:…read more Bob claimed that I turned his workers away when they showed up as scheduled on multiple occasions. This is not accurate. On several occasions Bob sent workers on days when I had not been informed they would be coming (Saturday and Sundays) . Although this was unexpected, I still welcomed them and allowed them to work. While not expected I thought it was a sign that they were ready to get the job done quickly. Bob also scheduled a potential replacement tile tradesman to come look at the job without notifying me ahead of time. I had to leave church in order to meet him, and I did so because I wanted to keep the project moving forward. The only time I asked his crew not to come was when our family was on vacation from the end of July through the beginning of August. This trip had been planned months in advance, and the bathroom was originally supposed to be finished by the end of May, so there should not have been any scheduling conflict. In contrast, there were many days where I expected people to come to my home to work and nobody showed up. Sometimes for multiple days in a row, leaving my bedroom without a door, and debris all over my bathroom. Bob also claimed that I requested nearly a dozen changes during the course of the project. This is not correct. The only adjustments that occurred were either suggestions made by his tradesmen (such as adding a transition between the tile and carpet) or "pivots" needed to address mistakes made. In those situations, I tried to find solutions that would save both time and money. Once the project was bid, we did not request changes to the original scope other than those mentioned above. I do not understand why Bob made this claim in his response. Bob also stated that the tile pattern was extremely complex. As can be seen in the photos, the floor consists of hex mosaic tiles and the walls are standard 3x6 subway tile. Both of these tile styles have been widely used for over 100 years. We discussed the tile selections before Bob submitted his bid. In fact, this same tile combination was installed in another bathroom by Bob's crew the previous year, and it turned out beautifully. Aside from a small issue with the floor that was quickly corrected, the finished bathroom looks fantastic. I love that bathroom, which is why I hired Bob again for our master bathroom project. Because of that positive experience, I find it surprising that he now describes this project as extremely complex. Based solely on our first bathroom project with that crew, I would have recommended Bob without hesitation. Bob also claimed that I did not give them the opportunity to fix the grout issues on the floor. I have text message threads showing that I requested these repairs several times and it was not corrected. Eventually, the situation became tense. Bob even told me that his workers did not like me. He later walked that statement back and said only his foreman was frustrated with me. At that point, I did not want to continue asking for the same repairs repeatedly and risk further conflict with the foreman, so I ultimately accepted the result and moved forward with finishing the job. (aside from his foreman being frustrated with the situation, I found all of the people that came to work at my house to be very nice and enjoyable people). Bob has stated that he is confident the shower is completely waterproof. However, the corner of the built-in shower niche has pulled away from the wall, leaving a large crack and gap in the grout. I have had to recaulk this area twice. I hope that there is no water behind the wall, but the issue is concerning. Additionally, there is a screw in the shower faucet that can be pulled out because it is not threaded into anything. I have not yet had time to investigate this further, but it raises additional concerns about the integrity of the installation.

Soto has been amazing to work with from our very first interaction. Junior and Agustin were…read moreextremely communicative, personable, and professional throughout. They made sure we were all on the same page with pricing, work to be done, timing, and expectations with our garage conversion project. We got a bit lucky with the timing for ours and ended up getting a full crew assigned for a chunk of it which led to finishing in ~4 weeks instead of the 6 they originally estimated. Also worth mentioning that their crew was respectful and super hard working. Noticeable attention to detail across the board with Soto. The end result exceeded our expectations. Super happy with the new space and would highly recommend these guys to anyone (already have to family and neighbors!).

We have used Soto Construction exclusively for the work we have done on our home. Our most recent…read moreproject was an ADU above our garage. Augustin has competitive rates and will go through his quote to explain all items and clarify any questions regarding the scope and type of work that needs to be done and does not begin work until all questions have been answered. His crew were always on time and conducted themselves very professionally on the job site. If one of them were not able to answer a question, Augustin can be reached very quickly over the phone/text to get the matter cleared up. All of our projects have been completed on-time or if there was a delay, he would explain the reason for the extension so there were no questions. Also, all financial questions are answered as soon they come up and if there is a need to increase the budget (or use an item/material that is more expensive then originally planned) Augustine will go into detail for the reason there needs to be a change and is open to negotiate the difference in cost. I would not hesitate to use Soto Construction for any work that we have planned for the future.

Had a roof leak right in my kitchen in February when we had heavy rain. I called Tony and he sent…read moreout Ernesto to patch leak. Literally he was the only roofer that called me back. I called like 2 others Tony was the 3rd. Ernesto responded within an hour and patched the leak. That was a sigh of relief because it rained pretty heavy again due to the atmospheric storm. Fast forward I decided to pull the trigger and get my roof done with them. Tony came out gave me a fair and honest bid. I called another roofer and once again they did not return my phone call in a reasonable time, and when they did they couldn't schedule me in until a month out. Tony and his team literally got the job done in a day and a half. I was very happy with the work and the cost. Tony's very upfront if there is a problem he'll let you know. Some people might not like that but for me that's what I want in a contractor. Just tell me the truth even if I don't want to hear it, so I can make logical decision on what I want to do next. A month later I had an AC problem and found out that a roofing nail had hit my line set, which is the copper line that the refrigerant runs through. I called Tony to let him know and he sent out another contractor to fix the problem and took responsibility for the inconvenience. Thats pretty epic in my book. I honestly thought he wouldn't help but he stepped up and did. Thanks Tony you have a customer for life.
