If I could redo one thing about our remodel, I would have called John from day one…read more We initially went with a stucco contractor recommended by our window company since we replaced our windows. The job ended up patchy and not acceptable....smooth stucco is very difficult to get right. I ended up finding Southside Stucco on my own through yelp because their reviews all 5 star and John was knoweledgable and his price was very fair. We wanted a smooth finish, which is notoriously the most difficult stucco style to get right because every flaw, bump, and seam stands out. John just finished the job last week he it looks amazing...it's 100% seamless, perfect smooth coat across the whole surface, around the edges, right up to the gutters, around the mouldings....it looks perfect. If you want smooth stucco done right the first time without having to pay someone else to fix it later, just hire John.

When I first spoke to the owner of Southside Stucco John De La Cruz I liked him. He gave me a price that was good and better than others I had spoken to. This job took 1/2 a day to do and it's a beautiful job. Utterly professional and a straight shooter, really a good guy and I'm so impressed with the work. When painted you are never going to know that a repair was done it's that good. Hire this company that has complete and utter integrity. He allowed me to pay by Zelle also which saved me a long drive. I'm just so happy with this and you better know I'm keeping John in my book. Thank you so much! What a fine job and my friends in Redondo and Torrance will know your name.

What started as a stressful situation turned into a smooth and surprisingly positive experience thanks to this contractor. He handled everything from insulation to drywall repair and repainting, and the quality of the work is outstanding. The drywall looks flawless--you'd never even know there was damage to begin with--and the paint job came out clean, even, and professional throughout the entire area. What really stood out was his attention to detail and communication. He kept me updated every step of the way, showed up on time, and made sure everything was done right, not rushed. He also took the time to protect the surrounding areas and left the space clean when the job was finished, which I really appreciated. If you're in Santa Clarita and need any drywall, insulation, or paint work--especially after something like water damage--I highly recommend him. It's not easy to find someone this reliable and skilled. Definitely someone I would hire again without hesitation.

I love it when a guy comes over and talks me out of doing expensive work . He offered a much better solution than plastic paint ("Cool Life" or "Texicote") and explained exactly why. While he was here, he also offered solutions to our old garage that needs to be rebuilt. I never knew you could just rebuild the very top of a structure. I always thought you had to knock the while thing down. He also offered advice on our water drainage from the roof. Then he promised to send me some contacts for people who could do the work if I wanted to, but again told me nothing structural is going on, so we don't have to. He didn't charge a fee. But its my policy that everybody's time is worth money. He refused the amount I was originally going to give him and took a lesser amount. Finally, he said he owns a Dodge Dart!! My dad had a Dodge Dart, it was little power house. Rick himself drives a cool old vintage car. Cool dude. I would recommend him to anyone.

Salvador was one of the few that responded promptly and came by for an estimate. He was professional, on time & his prices were very fair - there was no BS. Based off other Yelp reviews too, I knew he probably would do a great job. While we ultimately went with a close trusted referral who gave us a better price - we 100% would've went with Salvador and his team had we not had the other option. And just for comparison & speaking from personal experience - If a contractor is sitting you down and giving you a few hours "consultation" to try to convince you to choose them & pulling out all the sales tactics in the books (""discount"" if you book today) - RUN - they will most likely charge you 2x!!! the normal price. We didn't have a lot of experience choosing contractors so we were almost convinced due to the urgency, but we decided to be smart & get our own quotes and then found Salvador who gave us a reality check of how we were almost swindled! So word to the wise, always get at least 3 quotes :) but I have a feeling Salvador will be the best option based off our experience with him.
