River City Restoration and Painting (formerly MasterCraft Painting) is an extremely professional company that I would highly recommend to other homeowner associations and commercial clients. For over 10 years, our Gold River Village (California) has had an excellent and collaborative working relationship with Ed Daniels and the crew from MasterCraft Painting. In 2024 MasterCraft was folded into River City Restoration and Painting. River City Restoration and Painting has continued with the core values of quality workmanship and painting, which was clearly evident during our recent Gold River Village painting project in the summer/fall/winter of 2024. Working with Forman Felipe and Superintendent Mark was a pleasure. They labored through and resolved all the issues during our significant village painting project of 117 homes. Additionally, RCR&P owner Scott was there to make crucial decisions and keep our project moving forward to completion. While I've worked with other contractors, River City Restoration and Painting is at the top of my list for various reasons, including quality workmanship, attention to detail, and competitive pricing. In addition, they are great communicators and value relationships with all stakeholders, including homeowners, HOA volunteers, staff, and others. In a single word - Impressive! read more

Mark Griggs and Felipe Licea did a fantastic job. I hired them to paint an HOA I manage and they were wonderful. All of the homeowners were happy, and if you have ever dealt with an HOA you know that is a near impossible feat. They had the utmost attention to detail and diligence in their work. Exemplary craftsman and I will use them again for any other paint project. They are affordable and excellent, which is such a rare combination of traits these days. Large project or small, these should be your go to guys. read more

RCR, Inc. are currently working on the condos where I live in Carmichael, CA. It is a large undertaking but Tom & his crew are superior. They are thorough, knowledgeable & friendly too. They seem to be moving thru this construction project at a great pace while still taking extra care to make sure that the finished project is 5 stars. I highly recommend RCR, Inc.. Tom & his crew are some of the most hard working & kind gentleman I have ever had the pleasure of being the recipient of their work. 5 stars!!! read more

So far so good on the job being very well explained and looking out for our HOA long term. We have a ton of "deferred maintenance" and poor workmanship pieced together by contractors that just did not care and ripped us off. It's nice to know that Scott & Joe really care and want to do the best job possible, consulting with a now competent board, who also really cares. I look forward to working with RCR and will continue to update. read more

Extremely unprofessional company. The owner doesnt hold workers accountable. Worker literally told me i should "let my husband handle this" because he was "too busy to deal with me". They refused to reinstall our deadlock, even though it was documented in writing that they would replace them as part of a fence replacement project. Do not trust this company nor the owner, Steve. Misogyny runs deeper than the lies. read more

River City Restoration - Decks & Railing Near Me - Sacramento, California

We have observed this company over a year re -doing the siding in our townhome. The quality of work we have observed has been excellent. Pete went above and beyond in fixing our front door alignment so it closes and locks easily. We used to have to put a shoulder to our door to lock it. The whole crew is respectful and they clean up after themselves everyday. We like the work they do so much that we will definitely use them in the future if we need to. We highly recommend this company to everyone. read more

Their motto is "Your Satisfaction is our Highest Priority" From my experience, there could be nothing closer to the truth. I live in an HOA community in Folsom and was completely dissatisfied with the quality of work they did, the length of time they took to do it (compared to their original estimate), and the rude attitude of the owner. Not only was the quality of the work below my expectations, but the work took several weeks longer than expected, and the workers left behind cigarette butts and nails in the alleyway below, until I complained and they were picked up. They tried to nail on the plastic to keep the heavy rain out, but the nails blew out and the area was exposed to the storm. But most concerning to me: The finish on the balcony looks incredibly tacky in my opinion. When I contacted the owner, he was not helpful and they never fixed the project to my satisfaction. Every time I walk out on my deck, I see the uneven texture of the finish, which I believe looks awful. So much for my satisfaction being their highest priority. I would not recommend this company to anyone. read more

I enjoy working with River City Restoration in the HOA communities that I manage because they are reliable, knowledgeable, reasonably priced and hard working. I have worked with them on many projects small to large and their communication has always been incredible. They do great fencing work, deck repairs, concrete replacement and more. They don't cut corners or recommend work that is not necessary. I would recommend them to anyone because the quality of their work speaks for itself! read more

I have used them for many different projects and they are always professional and do an amazing job. They are wonderful at communicating and answering any questions you may have. I recently moved and am sad that I cant use them anymore. read more

This rating is several years old. My apologies. A complete residing and correction of a multitude of structural deficiencies. Professionally bid and performed. Completed on time, on budget; every little thing was done professionally. The crew was wonderful. The sawmen were magicians. Real carpenters. Cleaned up every single day. I could go on and on, but I won't. LP SmartSide was never put up better. Thank you Scott and company! read more

OK so I don't know what's up with the positive review, people must be blind or something! Unless it's the guys in the crew who wrote good reviews. Lol The crew is a complete joke! The process is not going to take 25 days like they said so, more 4 month minimum! Opened up the house when it's raining and everything's getting wet. Guys pissed around the complex. The work is 2 stars, very poor. Nails are sticking out everywhere. Very messy also! The nails were everywhere they didn't even bother picking them up. DON'T EVER HIRE THEM, there's a lot of other construction companies that do 10 times better job. read more

Danny and Josh were above and beyond . They were givin a task that required an ( I can do this ) attitude and performed it perfectly. Billy was also very conscientious of the job also and even , at their expense , came back and made it even better . Great group of folks to work with. read more

If you like excuses and rudeness, this is the company to use. Our HOA hired River City Restoration to do wood rot repair work on our community. Upon coming home, I noticed three holes in my interior walls, at the approximate location where they did some outside wood replacement work. Speaking to their crew onsite, I had one come inside to inspect the damage. On his way downstairs out of my home, he breaks part of my stairs. He is apologetic and says they will fix it. I was asked to send photos of the damage to another crew member, which I did. He tells me he will get back to me about fixing it. Three phone calls to him over 10 days and I never heard back from him. I call Scott, the owner, and that was a wake up call. Starts saying that the contract excludes damage like what happened to my walls as if I should know that. The HOA doesn't provide us with a copy of the signed contract so any clauses of this type are not known to a homeowner. He then explains that the stairs were broken by "normal wear and tear" to which I call BS. Not only are all the other stairs fine but his worker claimed responsibility for what happened and said it would be fixed. Scott did then take great pains to tell me how this job has been terrible and his men have not been on site for many days due to vehicle break-ins and theft of his trailer and tools. If true, that sucks but it doesn't explain why his crew member was not returning my calls about the status of fixing their damage. Scott took time out to dismissively tell me that "I should have been calling him (Scott)" about this. I explained that I followed the procedure given to me by his worker and only escalated when it was clear that my calls were not being returned. He did offer to have someone patch the three holes in the wall but was so snarky in his tone and approach that I declined. I'd rather pay out my own money to have these damages fixed than to have him or his crew in my home. BTW, what Robin B.'s review pointed out about the use of spray paint to mark up the exterior walls is true. Our community now looks like it was tagged by graffiti artists until the HOA paints the exterior. Not lovely. read more

My HOA hired River City Restoration to replace all the fences in our community, and it was an awful experience. Firstly, they tried to start on our fence on the wrong week--which would've meant two weeks without a fence (at least) and we were the ones who had to remind them of our address and start date. When they did finally start on our fence, the workers made themselves quite at home in our backyard, leaving a lot of soda cans, chip bags and fencing debris strewn around our yard. If that wasn't insulting enough, the Friday our fence was supposed to be finished the workers knocked off early without finishing our fence leaving an 8ft gap facing the road not only over the weekend but through the following week as well only to finish it at the end of the following Friday. But wait, there's more, during this time River City Restoration also decided that our fence needed an extra post near the gate (I don't know why, in the 30+ years the house has been here it apparently had never had a post there and the fence was fine) so without letting us or our HOA know, they cut into our front walkway/front porch and added an extra post and then charged the HOA for the work (now causing us problems with our HOA) and tried to tell them that they had to "remove part of our patio" which was a gross misrepresentation of the events. All-in-all, a very unprofessional and rather shady company that I personally would never hire to do anything. read more

Absolutely the best company for an HOA to deal with. Their professionalism and quality of work along with how they treat the homeowners is amazing. Can't imagine using another company to do the repairs in our community. read more

Thank you to Angie for working with me. I have been fighting with my Hoa and finally the work will be complete. Thank you again. I can't wait until my home is repaired! read more

The quality of the work is beyond poor. The attention to detail is non existent. Trim is replaced in some areas and not other. The is no attention pay to symmetry or returning the architecture to its original state. Gutters are put back on visually crooked. Repairs are not returned to original condition. Aesthetics seem to be entirely off their radar. When you bring concerns to the attention of Scott he is all excuses and dismissal. Probably the most dishonest, spineless person I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. It is honestly amazing that this company is still in business. I can only imagine that since they work primarily in HoA communities there is some sort of quid pro quo between them and the management company(ies). Whom seem to push these guys on you like a car salesman pushes the undercoating. He talks about the high quality materials they are using and the siding having a 50 year warranty. I don't doubt the quality of the materials, however the quality of the workmanship negates any benefit of the materials. Scott and his crew have a devil may care attitude about peoples homes, investments and livelihoods. I can not stress how much I would not recommend this company. If I had the power I would revoke his licenses so he, and his company can not do anymore damage to countless homeowner. read more

The amount of time and inconvenience, sexual harassment, profanity, crude offensive noise from their blaring music, inconsideration, and disgusting presence are very motivating towards a class action lawsuit from the residents who have been forced to live with their garbage for ridiculously way too long! When will enough be enough?? We're approaching another winter where I would like to be able to park nearby my condo and not be worried about having to park outside the gates I pay a lot to live within! They were MIA for 3-4 months last year and have only completed two buildings since they returned! Only 2! With a crew of their size and the amount of their crap on site at their fingertips, there is absolutely no excuse for the amount of time it has taken to get this job done. I was woken up every day of summer vacation at 7am by deafening hammering which they only did in the early morning which was then Followed by sexually crude, disgusting, demeaning commentary right outside my and my daughters bedroom windows!! It's unacceptable and torturous to have to live with day in day out! They barely work when there and have barely made a dent in the 3rd n 4th buildings! They have like 20 guys on their crew and haven't made nearly the progress they should have and should have to get their crap out of the Parking areas! Make them move that crap to the empty parking lot outside the gate!! Amazingly lazy, unproductive, nasty, inconsiderate, and incompetent both them and the HOA are! It's not ok and or fair to pay the HOA every month for a total disregard for the residents and our property!! We're living with this nightmare because of the HOA and I know I'm not the only fed up resident who feels violated and neglected! read more

These guys are amazing! Mike Ridgeway was the supervisor and he was absolutely pleasant and helpful. He was respectful and completed things in a timely manner and it all looks better than ever! So glad our HOA chose these guys and grateful we got Mike on our job! I had a really positive encounter with a few other guys as well and even the owner was kind and helpful! read more

OK, so here is my no BS take on River City Restoration: If someone does me wrong, like an elephant, I wont soon forget, and will let anyone that cares to know, know my opinion. Inversely, if they do me right, same. I wont forget, and will give em kudos to anyone with ears or eyes. We had a big problem at our home. The chimney comes way up and over our roof. Due to the location and steepness, it is very hard to get to, and the angle of the roof makes it almost impossible to even set a ladder on it. The contractor that built the place in 1995 used redwood siding which sounded great and all, but it sucked on the fireplace facade, as the cold, rain, heat and sun would work away on it 24/7. The redwood "bled" through the white paint and the nails would pop out or show through the paint so about every three years we would have to replace sections of the siding, sand, patch and then re-paint the aging wood that was supposed to last a lifetime. After 20 years of this crap we reached out to Scott at River City who minced no words and told us we were wasting our money! He said the best (only) thing to do was to have him tear the wood off the fireplace and re-side it with hardiboard, a concrete type material. Not wanting to spend that much money but realizing that he was probably right, we bit the bullet and did it. What a game changer. Now mother nature can not seem to penetrate it, and there was no one in the last 20 years that suggested how it should be done until these guys came along. Would I recommend them? Absolutely. And no, I am not a family member nor an employee of that company. Call me if you like: Brian (916) 712-3646 read more

The workers are talented, respectful and hard working. My building is now complete and the new face will add value for resell. If you are looking for a job to be done by professionals that are ethical, dependable and respectful, it will serve you well to consider River City for your job. read more

RCR did an excellent job repairing our foundation and drywall from a redwood root problem that lifted my foundation. Great concrete guys on the team, passed inspection with flying colors. Excellent workmanship and professional attitude. Drywall sub was in and out in a day. All work was done in one week. This kind of foundation / earthwork is challenging and requires lots of muscle, so hats off to these guys that got it done. read more

I live in an HOA community that was under going a siding project. Having lived here for over 20 years this is something I had been through before and had bad experiences with other construction companies, so I wasn't looking forward too it. HOWEVER, dealing with river city restoration was a pleasure. They were quick and did excellent quality work. Every guy on the crew was pleasant and friendly they did an excellent job cleaning up after themselves as well. One day being the busy body I am I called Scott the owner of the company to find out some info. He was courteous and very knowledgeable about the type of siding we were using. I have no doubt we are getting excellent workmanship and material on our homes. And I would absolutely recommend RCR for any other job. read more

The people that work for him are nice but Scott is RUDE. LWhen you speak to the HOA about him they don't listen, just say he's great, my neighbors call him...Scott the A**. read more

UPDATE (from September 14th): I have found out that only licensed pest inspectors can do pest inspections. He used spray paint on the outside of our homes to mark the dry rot instead of using a diagram, and it now looks like a graffiti infected neighborhood and they are not painting the exterior until September of 2016. He told our HOA that spray paint will wash off, as it is just spray paint. The HOA believes this but it is not true we had to use a sander. I am going to be selling my property and this may effect the price I can get because the community looks so horrible. I live in an HOA that has hired this company to do estimates for dry rot, so far I am not happy with Scott's customer service. He said we were notified that the inspection would take place by putting a letter on our garage door on Friday morning (after we went to work) but I think it was really Saturday morning. The notice said to be waiting for him on Monday between 7 am to 4 pm, because there were no working days of notice given I could not be home. As directed I emailed him to say I need more notice and received a rude email back it would be later in the afternoon and he would not make further arrangements. I found out later that he was going to be on site all week but still was not being flexible with times. If he provides good and fair estimates he stands to make a lot of money since one of my neighbors estimate was 6000.00 to 7000.00. I am willing to get the work done this month because I am selling my place but I refuse to give thousands of dollars to a someone who lacks any customer service skills. The other home owners may wait becasue the HOA us not painting until September 2016. His work may be good but first impressions are everything and I would not trust him to do any work on my home. read more

My HOA hired this company to replace siding. They came over at the end of January of this year, stripped our six-unit building off of siding, wrapped with Tyvek and disappeared for almost two months. I understand it was raining, but you are professionals. Don't do this and wait until the weather permits. Our building looked disgusting and welcomed all roaches, snails, lizards and other small animals in. They promised to get the job done within 25 days. Guess what, four months went by, but it's still not done. The owner, is rude and lectures you how wonderful his company is. My living room is cluttered, because I have to keep my patio furniture in the house and it looks ugly and irritating. The crew shows up God knows when, does some job and disappears. They may come back tomorrow or in two weeks. Amazingly, two weeks ago I saw another building in our community wrapped with Tyvek and another building was stripped off siding. It looks like this company took a bite it could not swallow. Horrible work ethics and timing. I would not recommend this company even to my enemy. read more
