At first the estimator did not call me back, but I later found out he was out sick. A supervisor named Pablo called me to apologize and he came right out. He met with one of my employees and the next day Mike Fugate sent me a bid. Two days after I signed it I had exactly what I needed to repair four exterior balconies on the second and third floor at a Northpark Condo association. The setup crew was on time, and set was fast. The scaffold was solid and had the green OSHA tag. Because of the easy access from the scaffolds, we got the job done in record time. I would use them again! Joe R.

Can't even describe how much I am disappointed with this company's work. They were hired by my HOA company to fix water damage on the ceiling in my condo. When I saw what they've done, I couldn't believe how unprofessional ceiling drywall was done. Drywall was not leveled, you can see where the new piece of drywall is compare to old one. The texture looks completely different. Looks like it has been done my someone who was doing this first time in their life. read more

I am with the board of directors, at the beginning of my service we hired McKowskis for out housekeeping services, about 3+ years ago. Maria took on the challenge to keep up with 240 Unites 4 days a week. In not so many words we could not have done it without Maria, she makes sure with kindness, commitment, proficiency and always with a smile we are always well taken care of. A big thank you to Maria and McKowskis sending us her way. Stay with us forever!! read more

McKowski's Maintenance Systems - a living room and dining room - Office Cleaning Near Me - San Diego, California

While writing a negative review makes me uncomfortable, and I have never done it before, I figure if your going to do something, even if it makes you uncomfy... you shouldn't hold back, right? I mean, that's what Yelping is take the good with the bad, Right? McKowskis is so unreliable I feel that I must. While there prices are average. The cleaning service is way below average. they are hard to get ahold of, they don't return emails, they never do what they says they're going to do, and have failed to complete simple tasks numerous times. I have spoken with upper management. I was told my minor complaints would be taken care of, NOPE! Still crummy service time and time again! BOO ON MCKOWSKIS!!!! My 1 year contract is almost up, and I can't wait to get out of it. I don't even think they show up half of the time. I do not recommend this company to anyone. Sorry McKowskis, I feel kind of bad for writing this... but it's the truth, and the truth hurts sometimes. Hopefully your other clients have gotten better service then I have. p.s. the receptionist is really nice, and it's not her fault the management is constantly dropping the ball. Ok I feel better now. read more

We hired a landscape architect to draw up plans for an extensive front and backyard remodel. It was a big job: full demo (removal of extensive concrete and a retaining wall); re-grading of the property; installation of new water pipes, drainage and irrigation; implementation of pavers, new fencing, landscaping, the works. The plans were super detailed. We thought of McKowski's to bid on the job after we had a great experience with them a few years back: they did redid a walkway on a rental property of ours. (Side note: that rental property had the neighbor from hell who yelled at them non-stop, and they handled her like pros). Anyway, in the bidding for this job, McKowski's blew the competition away: they came in at a fraction of the price, they worked with us to re-scope the bid multiple times to meet our budget, and they did exceptional work. Through the job, McKowski's was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were reliable and worked relentlessly to stay on schedule. When we hit unexpected issues (like leaks in our water main we didn't know we had), they were thoughtful in their suggestions about solutions to get the job done right and stay in our budget. Jim, Richard and Rhett all had hands in the day-to-day, and they were precise about executing the plans: when we asked them to adjust some details that weren't quite right, they readily agreed and redid the work. They even went above and beyond to take care of some items outside the contract without charge, just because it was the right thing to do. In sum: McKowski's is about the nicest group of people we could ever hope to work with. We have a re-stucco, bathroom and kitchen remodel sometime in our future, and we will definitely work with them again--we won't even consider anyone else. I can't recommend them highly enough for any home, yard or business construction project. read more

You know, as a Facilities Manager, I come across the promises of cleaning services to clean my building better than my current cleaning vendor all the time. Every cleaning service claims to be the best of the best. Then I get them in and it is all the same, a full month of awesome service after the initial clean and the ball drops and my building is dusty and I am calling the day before a huge client visits just to have the board room table dusted and to ensure there is toilet paper in the executive bathrooms. Rhett at McKowski's did none of this. He did not charge me an initial clean and told me to give his team 30 days to get my building in order. It has been more than 30 days and my building is spotless. Little by little, they concentrated on all of my pain areas until they were gone. My floors shine like glass and I don't have to stock toilet paper anymore. I don't even bother to tell them when an important client is visiting because the building is always ready. Those little dings in the walls and squeaky doors that stick sometimes, well, McKowski's has a maintenance team that handles those things too. These guys rock!! read more

Can't say enough about these guys. They came into our military barracks rehab job and made the place shine! We thought we were going to need to replace all the VCT flooring but they made it look like new. This place was thrashed from twenty years of use by the SEAL's but it looks like a new facility now. Prompt, courteous and responsive to our scheduling needs. As a contractor I wish the other sub-contractors we use were even half as professional as these guys. Two thumbs up from A&D/Dorado inc. read more

This firm repaired my flood damaged master bedroom and bath. They replaced the bottom 12 inches of damaged drywall, spray textured the new area to match the existing walls and painted everything. They had to do a floor tile repair and also set the new bathroom vanities. Rhett was the project manager and he was top notch. He had a super crew of true craftsmen doing the repairs. I manage construction contracts myself and I have to tell you these guys are pros! Terry R read more

I could not have asked for better service!!! I learned about McKowski's through one of my employees. I had been looking for a licensed contractor to enlarge my tiny laundry closet. Most people would think I was crazy to consider paying someone to potentially gain an additional 14" of space. But you see I live in a condo in the downtown area of San Diego. Space is a luxury and storage is hard-pressed to find. My plan was to remove the existing 30" door and re-frame the opening to be as large as the interior of the closet. This would allow me the luxury of space on either side of the washer and dryer to hang essentials (vacuum cleaner, steam mop, broom, etc.). Before these things would have to be stashed in my clothes closet (yuck!) or in an already stuff storage cage in the parking garage (not very convenient). I phoned McKowski's and spoke with the owner Jim. He put me in touch with Rhett Edwards the Chief Operating Officer who came out to do the inspection personally. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped me think through some of the possible scenario's I might encounter once the walls were opened up (metal studs, electrical wiring, load bearing wall). But I had to take the chance. And so the project officially kicked off. I have strict guidelines that must be followed whenever making structural changes to my unit. I had to provide my HOA with a lot of details and then wait for them to convene and consider my proposal. Fortunately, I was fully prepared and within a few weeks I had the green light to proceed. Rhett squeezed me into their extremely busy schedule and on April 1st at 8AM I met him and two of his highly skilled contractors. We talked again about the potential issues that they might encounter but I was assured that they would be able to get it done. I was in the capable hands of Isaac and his brother Josh. And so I went off to work. I received a text from Rhett around 2PM in the afternoon with a photo of my new laundry closet. I was ecstatic!! It looked beautiful!! They made sure to clean the area thoroughly. I was extremely pleased. I highly recommend McKowski's. I am already planning another project with them (installing hard wood floors to replace carpet) and will be using them in the future when I am ready to upgrade my bathroom. If I could have given them more than five stars I would!! Teresa G. read more
