We had such a fantastic experience working with Eduardo from Gonzalez Brotherhood Construction…read more It's honestly hard to find contractors who are this easy to work with, but Eduardo blew us away. He's trustworthy, super reliable, does really high-quality work, and his prices are more than fair. The team showed up when they said they would, kept us updated along the way, and delivered exactly what he promised (actually better). It's rare to have a project go this smoothly. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend Eduardo and his team, they're the real deal. Him and his team are true master craftsmen of their work.

He also accommodated my comments and the changes I requested on some work items. He was very professional and we had great communication through completion of the project, exchanging multiple email messages and phone calls. The crew was always on time, efficient and responsive to my requests and cleaned up well at the end of each work day. I also retained them to replace my damaged wood sidings and trims. Martin did a great job custom making wood panels for me as my residence is relatively old and no sidings matching the original ones were available in the market. They completed this job efficiently as well. I found this family owned business trustworthy and will continue recommending their services to friends and family.

I ended up hiring MFK for my deck after the contractor I went with never completed the project…read more Hindsight is 20/20, but I should've waited for Mitch and his team. They discovered things that weren't done properly and did their best to keep our costs down knowing that we were essentially paying twice to have the deck fixed. They finished in the time they promised and didn't even hesitate or push back when I asked them to address some minor details about the fence. They're professional, knowledgeable, communicative - everything you want in a contractor but usually can't find all at once. Highly recommend if you want a deck done right the first time.

What started as hairline cracks (lack of maintenance)) on my roof deck turned into major leak (and panic) into my bedroom ceiling over New Years weekend. From the initial consultation with Josh and Alfonso, they were professional, responsive, and kind explaining the entire process and answering what I am sure seemed like endless questions. Jose clearly took pride in his work. He kept the job site clean, arrived every morning on time and kept on schedule. His craftsmanship is excellent--the deck is solid, looks beautiful, and the attention to detail really shows. It's clear quality materials were used and maintenance will be straightforward.

Found West Coast Carpentry on yelp. Need a deck torn down and rebuilt. Tobias the owner came out…read moreand gave me an estimate on about two days. He was very thorough. He and his crew was very polite and super clean. At the end of the day you couldn't tell anyone even worked outside. He gave me an estimate time of two- three weeks to complete the job. He was done in less than two weeks. Mainly because the railing came in on time. These men worked from 7am till after 5 everyday. I had absolutely no issues with them at all. They did an amazing job!!! Wish I could give 10 stars!! If you're looking for quality work then this is your guy.

I highly recommend Carlos and Reyes Ornamental Iron for any interior or exterior iron work. I first…read moreworked with Carlos and his team during a home renovation in Laguna Niguel. They fabricated a balcony railing, two side-yard gates, and two gates for a dog-run enclosure. The quality of the work was exceptional--from the high-quality materials and beautiful craftsmanship, to the flawless painted finish. I provided Carlos with a few inspiration images and an explanation of what I wanted. He returned drawings for my approval, and every piece turned out exactly as I had envisioned. His pricing was very fair, and both the fabrication and installation were completed quickly. After recently moving to a new home and adding a balcony, I contacted Carlos again because I had been so pleased with his previous work. Once again, the railing was completed promptly and beautifully. I chose a very simple design for this project, but I have also seen Carlos's more ornate work, and he is exceptionally talented. Carlos is professional, responsive, and committed to delivering outstanding results. I would not hesitate to work with him again and enthusiastically recommend Reyes Ornamental Iron to anyone looking for beautiful, well-crafted ironwork at a fair price.

I also really like that they don't drill into my foundation. Taylor and Jassenia have been spot on with communication. They've been very flexible when I had to change my initial inspection date. Quick to respond to my questions. Today I had my inspection for my three unit condo and Wayne was professional, friendly, and very respectful of everyone's property. I didn't get any negative feedback while he was inspecting, so fingers crossed that I passed. My parents have another property that was recently inspected by South Coast and did not pass. The inspection company offered a contractor that could do the work and (while the contractor is affiliate with them), the price quoted was very competitive as well. I would highly recommend this company if you need your deck inspected or even repaired to bring it up to code.

I had JRD Constructions work on my home renovation and I do not regret it…read more Communication was amazing. All my worries and concerns were taken seriously. The responses to my questions were fast, and I asked A LOT of questions. All my questions felt welcomed by Shay and I am so thankful to him. Quality was superb. I asked Shay for help with adding a wall to my garage, change area of laundry air vent, demo carpet on stairs and on second floor , change subflooring on second floor, install laminate flooring where carpet was, new walk in shower, and upgrade our stairs to have risers. The finished job looked beautiful and well built. There were minor details that I wanted fixed and Shay had it fixed next day. It was amazing. As for the cost, it was comparable to other competitors. We saw Shay and his team had proof of work. Shay took us to one of his other renovation projects and that house was beautiful. Even after the job is done, Shay does not ghost you. I asked him if he could look at something for me and he still sent someone my way. Overall, my partner and I are both so happy we went with JRD Construction. Dont hesitate to choose them!

Out of the inquiries, 4 responded and provided estimates in person.

Needless to say, we went with JRD and from the get-go, Roi was responsive and kept us up to date every day. He made sure we were satisfied with the job before considering it closed. If you want a work done by a company who delivers on its promises and keeps in touch with you until the very end, JRD is for you. Not to mention, Roi was able to beat the other quotes which was also a plus.

I had a very disappointing experience with Hand Crafted Metalworks…read more From the beginning, I was extremely clear about what I wanted. I provided a reference photo on the very first day and made it known that I am very detail-oriented, especially because this was a major custom staircase railing project costing around $20,000. I wanted the finished product to closely match the design, proportions, style, and overall look of the reference photo. Unfortunately, the process became frustrating and confusing. Instead of feeling like my vision was being understood and executed, I repeatedly felt like the design was being scaled back, reinterpreted, or changed from what I had originally requested. Multiple revisions were needed because key details were not reflected properly, including how the railings were supposed to continue down the lower steps and terminate at the bottom. One major issue was that the shop drawings showed a rectangular/square wood cap, even though the reference photo I provided showed a round wood handrail. That was a major design difference, not a small detail. For a custom project of this size, I expected the drawings to accurately reflect the design direction I had communicated from the start. Another major frustration was the coordination process. I hired Hand Crafted Metalworks expecting them to manage the project. Instead, I felt like I was being put in the middle between their metal team and their wood subcontractor. I was connected directly with the wood subcontractor, who appeared to be unaware of important details, including that the wood was already part of the original quote. At one point, it felt like I was being asked to coordinate or clarify things that should have been handled internally by the contractor. There was also confusion around the timeline. A timeline that had been discussed as approximately six weeks later appeared to become September, which was a significant difference. When I asked for clarification, the conversation became defensive instead of simply explaining the scheduling change. Overall, my frustration is not just about one isolated issue. It is about the entire process: repeated miscommunication, inaccurate design assumptions, unclear subcontractor coordination, changing expectations, and a feeling that I had to keep fighting to preserve the original design vision I clearly communicated from day one. For a high-end custom project, I expected a much smoother and more professional process. Instead, I felt like I had to constantly correct, clarify, and manage details that should have been understood and handled by the company. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. I'd post only after the credit card dispute is filed, not before, and keep screenshots/emails organized in case they respond publicly.

Our experience with this company was extremely frustrating. After paying our deposit, the project…read morewas ridden with missed appointments, poor communication, and repeated mistakes. Our primary point of contact, Chris, was responsible for coordinating the project, yet we frequently had to make multiple calls just to get updates or receive a response. On one occasion, workers arrived at our home, informed us they needed to leave to purchase materials, and then never returned that day. The problems extended far beyond scheduling. The initial measurements taken for our custom railings were inaccurate, resulting in the wrong product being fabricated. When installation day finally arrived, the wrong order was delivered. We were assured the mistakes would be corrected, only for another incorrect order to arrive later. The same crew was repeatedly sent back to address the issues, yet the problems remained unresolved. The quality of the installation itself was also concerning. The railings were improperly installed, caused damage to our walls and floors, and portions of the installation began pulling away from the wall within a month. Given that stair railings are a safety feature, this was particularly alarming and further diminished our confidence in the company's workmanship. What should have been a straightforward project turned into months of delays, repeated errors, broken promises, and constant follow-up on our part. We were repeatedly given timelines and assurances that were never honored, and obtaining updates often required persistent phone calls. The most disappointing part was not the mistakes themselves, but the lack of accountability and follow-through. Every issue seemed to require multiple calls and reminders, yet meaningful resolution never came. After months of frustration, we ultimately canceled the contract because we no longer trusted that the project would be completed correctly or safely. Mistakes can happen in any business, but professionalism is measured by how those mistakes are handled. Unfortunately, between the inaccurate measurements, incorrect fabrication, poor installation, wall damage, communication issues, missed appointments, and failure to stand behind the work, our experience was extremely disappointing. I cannot recommend this company.
