I called Hector on Tuesday morning after the holiday and he met me at the marina after I got off work to give me an estimate to replace the pulpit platform. The insurance of the guy who hit me paid for the repairs. Hector took my boat in and started the repairs and sent me several in progress pictures of how it was going which I really appreciated. He really takes pride in his work and is fair and honest and did such a great job on the new pulpit and re installing my windless anchor winch it looks Awesome ! I can honestly recommend Hector to anyone he is a man of his word. He trusted me and did everything with no money up front until he was all done and I appreciate that. He is very flexible and did a few little extra things for me that I wanted like making my pulpit 6 inches longer than the original and ran a couple of extra wires for me so I can add some new lights I have been wanting to add. Hector you are the best. Scott Sanders Oakley CA

Melgoza's does fantastic major fiberglass repairs on beautiful older boats. We discovered an…read moreunknown caulking compromise, but...not to fear. The Melgoza's were really responsive. They were also patient in explaining the potentials to me, the wife without any experience of boat repairs. They explained the pros and cons of various repair options and updated us regularly as progress proceeded. We felt we were treated honestly, fairly, and with compassion as the information of the extent of compromise was a surprise to us. Yes, once we got into the job, there were surprises as to the extent of travel of moisture. However, Melgoza's kept us very informed of any new discoveries once the core could be fully examined from inside the fiberglass. They treated me very well even though my husband understood the shop terminology quicker than I did. (I have been dismissed or bullied as a woman at other repair shops). Not at Melgoza's, they let me ask many clarifying questions to ensure I was understanding. I never was made to feel stupid being out of my area of expertise. More like they would have explained things to one of their respected female family members. Upon repairing a large section of marine core, the fiberglass blended really, fantastic. So Melgoza's blends their fiberglass colors well. So, when an apparent small caulking failure turned out to have been a major core wood replacement and fiberglass repair, Melgoza's was up for the size of the job it turned into. Our beauty is back to gorgeous. We did not have a bottomless checkbook and Melgoza's kept that in mind too. We had just had a marine survey and we're looking at various items that arose from inspection. Melgoza's reviewed all the body and structure items, helping us to focus on only the major issues to avoid additional water damage. We still have our gradual, "wish list," of further work to keep our 1989 looking pristine for decades to come. Melgoza's explained the processes for items we can take care of ourselves. Melgoza's worked with our budget to review a very detailed survey. They let us know what repairs were critical today, what items we can save up for to keep our classic as pristine, and which items were simple enough to complete on our own. They are very trustworthy, fair, and most importantly do quality work with great color blending. Please read the other unpublished Reviews too!
