    After! The old windows were replaced with much taller ones and it looks phenomenal.
    Scott A.

    We chose our new house mainly because of the awesome pool. So I wanted to see it better from inside the house. I hired Santiago to install new tall windows and I'm delighted I did so. Nothing but quality work and attention to detail. As well as cutting the wall and installing the windows his crew repaired the stucco and drywall inside and out and painted. It's really a fantastic job. He was also very helpful when I ordered the windows, answered all my questions and guided me to choose the right product. I'd definitely hire Santiago again.

    Can lights

    I'm writing this review 6 weeks after I had JR Improvements do several home updates to a home I purchased in July which included vinyl plank install upstairs and downstairs, replacing baseboards, new carpet in bedrooms, installing a door frame and new door, installing some can lights, and refinishing the banister. I wanted to wait until the newness and excitement of moving into a new house and doing some updates wore off and I could be more objective. I think the vinyl plank looks good overall. The can lights look very good. The new door looks mostly good except one area. Carpet looks very good except one issue I have in one of the small bedrooms. While I think JR did a good job overall I now find several areas where there was a lack of attention to detail and it seems like going quick was more important than doing it 'right' in my opinion. So if you are someone who really values excellent finish work, they may not be right for you. Also I had them come back out to address some issues with hand rail/banister and it doesn't look much better after they spent several hours trying to correct the issues. I have a feeling that they aren't as skilled at doing some types of remodeling as others. Here are my main issues from someone like me who is detail oriented. - base of the door frame on one side doesn't come even with the floor. There a large gap. Instead of redoing/recutting this piece this they left it as is. - edges of baseboards where they are visible were 'finished' by cutting a 45 degree piece already primed instead of just cutting the baseboard at a normal 90 degrees and taking the time to manually prime and paint. It's not a clean look. - big lump under the carpet in the middle of one of the rooms. The carpet layers had to notice this but I have a feeling they hoped nobody would notice. In their defense I had ordered barely enough carpet for the project but this seems like something they could have addressed. - lots of visible pin nail holes in the rubber baseboard segments used. These didn't exist in the previous pieces removed. - no calking or sealant used between the edges of the vinyl plank and the walls, toe kick, cabinets, etc. In sum I wouldn't have issues with using JR Improvements for some types of remodeling work but I do think there are some areas where they trade quality for speed.

    One of the many fans installed.

    Santiago and he team were wonderful! Moving is always hard - being able to rely on them for some much needed help was a blessing! They showed up right on time, installed 7 ceiling fans for us perfectly - and both guys were so polite the whole time. They were done in just a few hours and we couldn't be happier with the work! Will use them again and highly recommend them!

    Santiago Jr has completed several projects for me in my home. I could not be more pleased with his work. He always arrives on time, he completes the projects timely, & he's extremely professional. He's laid flooring, baseboards, pendant lights over the kitchen counter, fixed a chair that I totally ruined w/wood glue, installed new bathroom lights, raised tv plugs, & installed a Murphy bed tht came in single slats. He's now a contact in the phone of several of my friends. Thank you Santiago Jr. I appreciate you, your commitment, & your follow thru.

    New room with ceiling light fixture and switch near the new door
    Alexandra P.

    We had to close off a wall and open a new door in the hallway to create a separate bedroom out a sitting area from the master. We contacted 5 contractors through Yelp but Santiago was the only one of the 2 that showed up for a quote. He did the more with better price and took less time even after we add more things to do including 2 ceiling light fixtures and relocating a thermostat! We will definitely call upon Santiago again for future jobs!

Unfortunately, the preparation and critical scope items I paid for were either completely neglected or mishandled. Soffit Baffles & Attic Ventilation: I paid for eight soffit baffles to ensure proper intake airflow. The crew initially installed only three, claiming they left the remaining soffits blocked because they assumed that was intended. The entire purpose of a soffit baffle is to preserve airflow and prevent superheated attic air from stagnating. When I brought this up, a crew came back out to install the rest and pull back the old batt insulation. However, the installer called to tell me some baffles couldn't be installed due to low roof clearance at the eaves. While I understand structural limitations, management refused to issue a partial refund for the uninstalled baffles, and even after the return trip, the scope I paid for was never fully delivered. Bathroom Exhaust Fans & Property Contamination: My home has un-ducted bathroom exhaust fans that blow directly into the attic space. During the initial estimate, I was explicitly assured that the crew would build containment barriers/dams around both fans to prevent loose insulation from burying the housings. Instead, the crew blew loose-fill insulation directly over both open fan housings with zero barrier in place. As a result, both exhaust fans are now completely unusable; turning them on pulls fiberglass into the motors and blows hazardous particles straight down into our bathrooms. While the blown insulation depth is there, the failure to execute basic airflow management and the promised fan protections caused major headaches. Rather than dealing with further disruptions from this company, I now have to spend my own time and money cleaning and repairing what they left behind.

Even though there was a bit of miscommunication regarding the invoice, he handled it so well.

I'm not gonna lie after reading the reviews here, I had some reservations about reaching out to Alcal for a bid. But it was a project, and I was going to get multiple bids, so I figured if they were really that bad it would not get further then the estimate. The estimate and bidding process was all done over the phone, with plans found on the internet, and customer supplied photos. The scheduling and negotiation process was easy and the week before installation they called to confirm the schedule. The day of they were on time and got right to work. RJ the project Coordinator / Manager was very communicative throughout the whole process. I'm satisfied with the end product, and pleasantly surprised based on the initial reviews.

Unfortuately, after 25 years of service, my 5 ton unit died and I had to start getting quotes for a replacement. I had 7 different companies come to my home and I received quotes as high as $22k to replace my AC unit and furnace. The average quote was around $15-$17k. No way! The last company I met with with Reliable Technical Solutions Comfort Cooling and Heating. I met the owner, Issam, and he seemed honest and straightforward. His price to replace both my AC and furnace was better than the others. But, the real story begins with the quality of his service. We had scheduled a couple of meetings up front and he showed up every time. Nice. He did the installation and then showed up to my home 3 more times to ensure that everything was pressurized correctly and working the way it should. My first impression of him being honest and straightforward was 100% correct! His pricing was fair and he did an amazing job. The AC is blowing ice cold and I just couldn't be more pleased with the whole experience. I have stood in front of my main big vent in my living room with a ridiculous smile on my face...so good! If you're a homeowner like me and you start off baffled by the whole experience of replacing an HVAC system, or just need maintenance, you truly need to reach out to RTS Comfort Cooling and Heating.
