Then I chose to ignore it for an undisclosed length of time...cue the windstorm and wala, more repair than I wanted to deal with. I saw Big Wave Home Repair on yelp and thought I would give him a try as he was close by and I like supporting small businesses. He came out quickly to assess the situation, gave me his next available start time and took care of the problem like a pro. There were some challenges as the neighbors on the other side of the fence had put up surfboard storage racks, etc. We talked through some additional costs and the end result was better than anticipated. Very pleased - thanks Dave.

Paint around the frame of our garage was falling off, plastic strips were coming off the garage…read moreframe due to improper attachment, and 2 shingles fell off the roof. Found Anthony through Yelp and he was very responsive. Talked to him briefly over the phone, he charges by the hour (plus material cost), and we set a date. He arrived at our doorstep within a few days (would have been earlier although our street was being re-paved) and got to work right away, 8am. The job ended up not being as difficult as initially planned, as the previous work to fill in the wood and repaint the garage frame was not good. He fixed the frame, repainted, and replaced the shingles by early afternoon! Other estimates were in the $3-4k range, and Anthony saved us thousands of dollars. I will definitely be contacting him first for any future house/contracting work. Thank you!!

I showed John a picture of one he did before, told him I liked redwood, and he was off to the races. In just a few short days, my dilapidated 1970s fireplace was a brand new marble wonder with a custom redwood mantle and much safer for my kids. When I had a problem with a window in my kitchen, John was on the scene and took care of it before I could even get to my house to worry about it. That next week, I had a huge, upgraded window in my office overlooking the hills. John cares deeply about his clients, takes care of your home as if it were his own, and charges a fair and reasonable price for his work. He communicates with you regularly so you feel informed, empowered, and cared about. He answers questions quickly and honestly, giving you the benefit of his many years as a general contractor. Doing business with him is like working with a friend or neighbor. I highly recommend John and HomeSmith and can't wait to work with him on other projects at my home.

I had come up with a preliminary plan for our outdoor stairs and patio projectss and he pretty much took it from there and ran with it. He was always pleasant, helpful and professional throughout the time it took to complete the projects. He completed the work, as proposed, and within the time allowed. He dealt with issues by coming up with solid solutions, keeping in mind to consider our budget. I would highly recommend HomeSmith for consideration when planning your next home project.

Problem solved with beauty and quality…read more Gravity custom built me an indoor gate to help control my large puppy dog. The baby gate fits so well into my home that it looks apart of the home and not the centerpiece. The baby gate solves so many containment problems associated with having a large breed dog. My dog can't get through the gate. The gate also has a built in cat door, seamless design. Both Chad and Jessie took extra consideration for my animals with the design. The design feels more like a welcoming addition rather than a gate. My home is a safer and more stylish with this new gate- thank you Gravity Services!

When gravity services first came on-site to review the project and provide an estimate. They sketched a drawings of what a possible final product, without even seeing the door I purchased that needed to be mounted. Chad's recommendation was spot on. From the sketch in his notebook to what was fabricated, the company understood the definition of "Custom Fabrication". I would be negligent if that did not mention the customer service representative Jessie, who was outstanding during the whole process. She was patient. She communicated very well as she worked with me when I had any questions. I highly recommend gravity services for your home projects. The final cost was a little outside my budget. But what project doesn't break your budget where you get the high quality of a final product you want. They will always have first offer from me on any home project from now on.

He was right in the ballpark of what I assumed I would have to pay. He showed up on time the day he said he would be here, had a helper, was serious about providing me with the work I wanted, and finished the job!! This project involved cement, cutting a dry rotted piece out of my patio cover and fence repair. . . .This is the funny part, I got bids from $225. to $2,200. - NO KIDDING! Rick's bid was at $650. - not the lowest but I knew he would show up and get the job done. I did call the $225. bid guy but he said he didn't know when he could come on over as 'things were crazy for him." Rick has been working around Escondido for years and does a good job. Try him out, you'll like him!

Mike is knowledgeable, creative, and personable. He won't bore you with the logistics of what he has to do to get the job done; he just gets to work! Our project involved converting an upstairs attic into two bedrooms. It was not an easy task. Mike and his team made it look easy, while charging an honest price. If you're looking for a hard working, honest, and friendly team, than look no further than Mikes company, Real Estate Ready.

We had all of the cabinets in our kitchen and bathrooms painted white, we redid the guest bathroom (paint, replace counter top, sink & fixtures), enlarge and replace our sliding glass doors, change kitchen island countertop to a larger "floating island" look and some hard scape and a few other little jobs. Mike completed the jobs just two days past the promised completion date but that's because we added a few little jobs including the hardscape and repainting the guest bathroom. Mike is a perfectionist and takes great pride in his work product. He also shares his vision and makes recommendations. I didn't even know it's possible to have a floating island. I'm glad he suggested it as it made such a difference in the design of my kitchen. Thank you Mike for making this house our home.
