He found the ultimate cause of a significant leak (a valve stuck open in a hard-to-get-to controller under my back deck) and manually shut it off while he ordered a replacement. His team replaced several drip nozzles with micro-sprinklers, and swapped out some badly deteriorated lines for new ones. Everyone was friendly and super-efficient. At the end, Jorge returned to inspect everything (correcting a couple of very minor flaws) before declaring the job finished. All the work came with a one-year warranty. I wish we had a world where everyone had Jorge's attention to detail and commitment to excellence.

Their pricing was incredibly fair and the team did a great job while being highly efficient. Afterwards, I realized there were a couple of our existing plants that could do with a transplant once. We asked Jorge if he could help and he had his team out the next business day to complete the request at zero extra cost. Would easily recommend him and they team to anyone. P.S. The bad reviews here clearly say more about the person behind the review than they do about SB Evolution

For the first 90% of the job I'd say they did a decent job. The problem was with the finishing details. It's almost as if they finished 98% of the work and then didn't show to complete the rest of it. I asked them to return to my house and was told by Bryan that they would come back, but I never saw them again. I'm talking like a day of work to complete this stuff, if that. They left multiple pieces of rebar sticking out of concrete. I have kids and the last thing I want is for them to get hurt on sharp pieces of rebar. I also don't have the tools to cut the rebar myself. They had a sub come by and replace our aluminum gutters. There was one downspout that connected to an ugly piece of pvc pipe for drainage. I asked them to come back and remove the pvc pipe to make it look cleaner. They said they'd come back, but never did. I asked them to come back and fill in gaps that were left between the pavers, but again nothing was done. There was a sewer clean out that was left protruding above the paver patio too. I don't think I'd hire this company again to do any construction work at my house.

At Jason's suggestion, the trim is a blue-green I liked, called "Santa Barbara blue." The painters were hard-working, dedicated and careful, even while reaching an impossible, dizzying corner high on the upper story. I could not recommend any company more highly.

We recently bought a home in the San Vicente Mobile Home Park. Alas, the home was in a great…read morelocation but in what turned out to be terrible shape. It required extensive renovations. One of them was the godawful faux wood paneling from the 1970s. It was all over the home with the exception of the bathrooms and kitchen, which had equally horrendous flowered wallpaper. Dina and Christina came highly recommended so we brought them out for a look and an estimate. Dina carefully walked around while I described what I wanted done. I mentioned that I had been doing research on colors and wanted a neutral white, preferably neither warm nor cool (and not hospital white) because we have windows on all sides of the home and it would get light at various times of the day and at various angles. I wondered what she thought of Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace. She said BM was a great paint, and she loved that color, that she had just finished a home done in that color. She also said it would work well here, providing the neutral and definite white I wanted. She and her partner plus their employee came out every day and because we hadn't moved in (and the carpeting had been taken up to prepare for the wood flooring) were able to easily remove the kitchen cabinets and work with them. All their tasks were neatly handled, things carefully placed and the workplace cleaned up each night. There was never a sense of chaos or of a mess. (All renovation work should look this good while in progress. Still, I am glad I wasn't living there.) The first step was to have all the walls skim coated to remove the lines that simply painting over the paneling would show. They recommended someone they had worked with before and he did a fabulous job, skim coating the walls twice. Then they primed it and painted it. If you didn't know it, you would never be able to tell that there was paneling under the walls. They used matte, semi-gloss and gloss in the appropriate places. They were fast; within two weeks they were done. I am beyond happy as their price was very reasonable, they were always willing to answer questions, they wanted us to be happy with it, and they were neat, clean, never noisy, and showed up on time every single day. We are hiring them again to paint the exterior within a few months (and as soon as money allows). In the meantime, they also painted a reproduction piece of furniture I had that had been kind of gold and yellow, and it is now a glossy white that looks absolutely gorgeous in the living room.

After nothing for 30 minutes past the time, I call and they said they would be there in 20 minutes.

Very nice in person, Takes measurements and discusses. This was a Friday, so I understand we might not get the estimate soon. I'm told, if not this weekend, I'll get it to you by Monday eod. No worries, that's reasonable. Heck, it can be any day, just do what you promise. Monday nothing. Tuesday nothing. Call Wednesday. Says I'm really busy, No apology until I call them out on what they promised. I didn't set the expectation, they did. I tell them, if we don't even have a contract and you're being like this, what am I to expect? Next day, I get a text about the room to be done, is it upstairs or downstairs, and the bathroom, is it being done? I'm totally confused, we never spoke about a bathroom and the room is upstairs. I get the quote finally. It's ~$30k more than another quote I got from a 5 star Yelp business. WTH. Looking deeper into the quote, it's talking about terracota tile and grout...we never spoke about that, we spoke what I already have downstairs, which is laminate. They even stated, that's a manufactured piece we can't get anymore but we can get something close to match. Don't always believe Yelp reviews, but I'd believe this one.
