The "before" pictures don't show an old wooden, 2-story play structure that took up the entire side yard. We also had a small pergola in the main backyard which didn't provide much shade or privacy. Enter Jason and his thoughtful design which included: removal of all lawns and over-planting by previous owners (which required 1,500 gallons of water per sprinkler cycle), demolition of said play structure and pergola, installation of high quality turf and putting green, updated sprinkler system, drought-tolerant plantings, new lighting, beautiful hardscape for our new side yard patio (where play structure was), not to mention a fabulous new custom pergola which extends across the entire back patio providing shade and privacy! We increased the livability, beauty and usage of our yards while reducing water consumption; a total winning combination!

Now that the Holidays are behind us, I can finally write this review. Long story short, we had a…read morepipe break under our main bathroom which also involved sewage. Following the remediation work authorized by the insurance company, we decided that this unfortunate event gave us the opportunity to completely remodel our all original 1961 bathroom. I began looking for contractors and reading the reviews on Yelp. I selected three, two from Yelp and one which was a referral. Uriah, owner of Hawkins Remodeling & Repair, responded quickly to my request and set up a date and time that worked wonderfully with our schedule. He arrived as scheduled and we toured my complete wreck of a bathroom. He took measurements, pictures and we talked all while he took notes of everything including what our vision was. He asked questions and offered suggestions including installing a new bathroom door. Uriah sent back a proposal just a couple days later and while I was still waiting for the last contractor. In the end, we just liked everything Uriah and his company had to offer and selected them for the remodel. We agreed on a start date the Monday following Thanksgiving. Uriah asked if he could come over the on the weekend prior to drop of the dump trailer as the bathroom was going to be gutted with a lot of debris, so this made perfect sense. On Monday, Uriah and his team members, Carlos and Miguel, showed up promptly and right away began working by masking all the carpeted area with plastic sheeting where they would be travelling on. They also set up their 'shop' in our backyard for the duration of the project. Every day I came home to an extensive transformation. We had a lot going on in this little old bathroom including a faux divider wall removed, replacing the window with an obscure double pane window, which I asked for at the last minute. They were also moving electrical outlets and extending the plumbing height to accommodate our new fixtures but more so for all the tall bodies living in our house. They removed our existing cast iron bathtub, preserving it as we were having it refinished, so they removed it entirely so they could reinforce the main beams and redo the subfloor. Do you know how heavy those tubs are? Also, did I mention that this was a 1961 original AND was built on adobe? This means nothing in our home is level! Carlos and Miguel handled every challenge that was thrown their way. Uriah checked in with me on a regular basis and discussed any potential problems or issues that his team discovered and offered suggestions or solutions. It was very refreshing to know they just wanted it done right and for us to be completely satisfied. Near the end, we had the tub resurfaced and no one was allowed in the bathroom for two days following as it needed to cure. I didn't want to lose them for a that time, so I asked Uriah if they could replace our back patio slider, which too was old in need of replacing. He quickly gave me a bid, I accepted, and the team installed a beautiful new patio slider. It should be noted that it was pouring rain too! They came to finish up on the final pieces and what an amazing Christmas gift it was! I can't recommend Hawkins Remodeling & Repair enough. They truly transformed a "beast" into a "beauty". Thank you, Uriah, Carlos, and Miguel (The Hawkins crew)! We look forward to working on another project with you in the future!

Darcy's the best!…read more After running through 3 designers we were distraught. With our mixture of DIY and simi-vision we were looking for a landscape designer that was open minded and willing to work with us.

Sometime this process was a bit more like therapy but Darcy hung in and gathered our opinions into a great plan. When it came to the plants, we couldn't be happier with our plans. Next step install!

After the first job, Oscar and his team were so fantastic that I never even bothered getting a quote from any other painter for the second or third job. Each time, the quote was fair, the work was done impeccably, and the crew was always respectful and professional. Oscar and his team have painted interior spaces, cabinets, and even an exterior for me--each job turned out absolutely perfect. Most recently, I had some questions about dry rot repairs that a carpenter had completed during the exterior job. I sent a text to the project manager to ask if we could meet the next day to discuss it. To my surprise, Oscar himself showed up bright and early, ready to talk through my concerns. He was determined to ensure everything was right, even though, not surprisingly, they know more about carpentry than I do, and there was nothing that needed fixing! Oscar still took the time to validate my concerns and walk me through everything--true professionalism at its finest. I've worked with many contractors over the years, but Rojas Painting stands out in every way. If you're looking for quality work and a team you can trust, look no further.
