We had an outstanding experience with Carl at Better Call Carl! From start to finish, his…read morecommunication was excellent. He set up an appointment to meet with us right away and sent over a very professional, detailed quote the same day. He got us on his schedule quickly and completed the job to absolute perfection. Five years ago we had carpet installed and were left with an annoying gap between the carpet and the baseboard. It drove me crazy! Carl not only handled the installation beautifully, but he also made sure the new padding was thick enough to eliminate that gap entirely. A problem that bothered me for five years - gone in one day thanks to Carl. Fast, professional, detail-oriented, and genuinely thoughtful. We couldn't recommend him more!

We will not be working with Better Call Carl again. Last November, we hired him to perform a…read more"bathroom refresh". Hooked us in with a great price and great initial communication. On the first day on the renovation, we went through all the details of changes we wanted to make with his team. Somehow, these details never came to fruition. They did a great job with the drywall, painting, and tub installation - however, their tile work in the shower is subpar (the tiles were placed crooked and we had to go in to regrout ourselves). We previously had plumbing work done, so the cabinetry underneath the vanity had to be replaced. Better Call Carl figured the best way to do this was to just patchwork plywood (we went back ourselves to fix). He also didn't see the need for continuous baseboards (see photo). The biggest problem we have is with the floors - we also had terrazzo floor tiles placed and confirmed with the team prior to starting that there were enough tiles to complete the project. The floor is not up to industry standard nor ADA requirements. The grout lines are all different sizes and the actual tiles are not level, resulting in a trip hazard. There are also tiles that have been chipped both during and after installation. We reached out to Better Call Carl after work was complete to see if he could replace the floor - he was reluctant to come back, but he did end up replacing two tiles (out of 21). Even after the second round, the floor is a little more level, but nowhere near the standard or expectation. There are still chipped tiles, uneven grout lines, and tiles that are not level. We will be buying new tiles and having the floor redone, so we asked for a partial refund (for just the work on the floor), which was denied. We then tried to see if there was any other resolution we could agree on since Better Call Carl claims he has a one-year warranty. He refused to uphold his warranty. We'll be going with another professional from here on and would not recommend Better Call Carl to anyone.

Earnest helped prepare my home to be listed for sale. The house is over 120 years old and while…read morerecently remodeled, still needed a wide variety of minor repairs to get it ready for market. The drywall repair (from general picture and fixture hanging), texturing, and painting throughout the home made everything look brand new. Earnest also reset a few loose tiles in a bathroom, secured an antique mirror on an old vanity, fixed a broken closet door track, repaired some door trim, and hung several new light fixtures. It didn't seem like there was a project Earnest was not up for. Everything was completed with exceptional quality. I found Earnest to be communicative, professional, timely, and priced fairly for his high quality work. I will certainly hire him again for anything I need!

Everything that wasn't identified to be painted was taped-off and protected with exacting precision.

Elvia provided great customer service. She sent revised estimates promptly as our project scope changed, kept track of and scanned all of the receipts, and created a detailed final project packet that summarized all of the work that had been done. I would definitely recommend RJ Painting and I will call them again for any future projects that we have down the road.

We loved it the moment we saw it. Since our purchase, Larry has stood by his work and fixed things that needed repair and/or shared those he worked with in order for us to reach out and have things under warranty repaired. The sub contractors he works with are excellent and very loyal to Larry and proud of their work. We have really appreciated how easy it has been to reach out to Larry and to get the information we needed. It is wonderful to work with someone who stands by their work.

Larry was very communicative throughout the process going over expenses weekly and working with me to make adjustments in the budget. Larry may not be the cheapest contractor out there, but you can be sure that you are getting your money's worth in term of quality work that will LAST.

He came to our home on time and did a thorough walk around our home and gave us a detailed bid. For reference we had most of our siding replaced, and the entire outside of our home painted, including front door, gutters, along with some other repairs. I found Jose and crew, to be professional at every turn, I liked that he had a detailed contract and several options for payments. His price was fair after receiving another bid. It is a lot of trust having work done in and around your home, Jose met and exceeded my high expectaions of doing an excellent, and detailed job. He takes pride in his work. Communication was seamless throughout the project, that is important to me, he even answered the phone when I was calling him while at the paint store getting a sample to try a color out. I highly recommend trying colors out on your house before finalizing your choice. Jose is generous with his knowledge, he showed me how to take apart light fixtures in order to clean the glass and spray paint them, They look brand new and saved us $ He even shared his recommended spray paint with me. I will use him again without hesitation. K & S Wright Gig Harbor WA

From day one, communication was outstanding. Mike kept us informed throughout the entire process, explaining each step clearly and answering all our questions promptly. When unexpected challenges arose during the project (as they often do with older homes), they worked proactively to find solutions rather than just presenting problems. What really impressed us was their collaboration with our structural engineer. They worked seamlessly together, respecting the engineering specs while also providing valuable practical insights from their construction experience. This teamwork gave us complete confidence in the quality and safety of the work. The craftsmanship itself was top-notch, but what truly sets them apart is their integrity and commitment to customer satisfaction. Several weeks after the official project was completed, they noticed a couple of minor items that needed attention and came back to take care of them without hesitation--no extra charge, no complaints, just pure professionalism.
