We worked closely with Jaime to design a front door for our home. We had another company provide us with a proposal as well. Not only was Rustic 101's (Jaime) more suited to our needs but it was competitively priced as well. The kicker was that Jaime was able to include a screen into the door that can be opened and closed to allow fresh air into our home. When it was time for the installation the installers were professional and knowledgeable about their craft. When all was finished we were completely satisfied with the look of the door and the installation. This was our second job we used Rustic 101 for as we had them build a barn door for our master bathroom and we loved it, hence the repeat business. read more

Jaime and the guys at Rustic 101 are great. They helped me design my front entry gate a year ago and did a fantastic job building and installing it based on my specs. They come by once a year for yearly maintenance and make it look brand new. Highly recommend them for all your gate and entry door needs. read more

After finally getting tired of looking at our mismatched and and worn down gates, and doing a lot of looking online for new ones, we contacted Jaime at Rustic 101 - and I'm so glad we did! Jaime did a great job of explaining different options for materials, finishes, and overall look and design. He understood what we were looking for, and it was fun working with him and getting to be involved in the process. His craftsmanship is outstanding and we were equally impressed with the expert installation. read more

Jaime and the team at Rustic 101 are awesome. Jaime is very creative and worked with us to design a new front door for our house. He listened to what we wanted to do and then helped guide us through the process of creating our vision. The door was delivered on time and they did a great job with the installation. They were very precise and careful, treating our house as if it were their own. Great experience!!! read more

Don't use another company for your gates. Things don't always go as planned but it is how the company handles imperfection that defines their greatness....I ordered some gates using reclaimed wood but when they arrived my mom was upset that they had nail holes in them. Oh mom. I called the company and they had them remade and installed. While the installer was there my mom asked him to fix the lock on our front door that has been broken for a year and he did it with out charging her. I'm so appreciative. read more

We recently had a beautiful wrought iron gate installed in the front of our home by Rustic 101. The gate is truly a work of art. It was handcrafted by artisans in Mexico to our exactly specifications. Jaime, the owner is easy to work with and the project ran on schedule. read more

Rustic 101 did our courtyard entry doors years ago. They are still show stoppers. When my iron pedestrian gate rusted out, I went to Jaime and I'm glad I did. Jaime refinished my garage doors and added a stucco fence and double wooden door gate. What I like about his wood doors is that they have lots of character--they are not the oh-so-perfect they almost look fake type, which I can't stand. Cesar is so kind and his workmanship is excellent. Same for Ricardo. Jaime was easy to work with and has a good eye to create such art. read more

About a year ago, we hired James and his team to build a wooden gate for our side yard. The design of the gate is absolutely beautiful and the combination of wood and iron made us very happy with our purchase. However, with all the rains that we had this winter, our wooded gate started to take in a lot of water and started to swell to the point where we could no longer open or close the gate. It became a very big issue. We contacted James and let him know the problems that we were having and he came back and took care of it without issue. They drilled screws into the wood and filled the holes which completely camouflaged them and made the gate as good as new. The gate is working once again and it has been restored to its original beauty! Because James stood by his work and repaired the gate, he is as good as it gets. It did take him a few weeks to resolve and I had to be diligent about keeping in touch with him but it wasn't a big issue for me. Regardless of it all, I'd hire him again in a heartbeat. James is a wonderful and HONEST person with great integrity. Business owners like him are hard to come by these days. I'm only hoping one day we can give him more business. If you have any woodwork needed around the house, call or visit James. You can't miss his shop. For all us in San Diego, we've passed it hundreds of times as it's right off the Highway 101 and a block away from Fletcher Cove. The beautiful iron gates he has on display will definitely catch your eye! Thank you James and team for being so wonderful. May Rustic 101 have many more years of continued success... read more

I would give them a zero if possible. We received a gate in January which had been promised for February. At first it looked lovely. Then we had heavy rains in March. In April, parts of the gate separated from the frame and the wood swelled so much we could not get it open at all. We paid thousand of dollars for this gate. We have been calling Rustic 101 all day with no answer at all. We got ripped off royalty. Stay away from this place! read more

After living with my awkward kitchen for too long I decided it was time to do a remodel. Since my budget was limited I decided to concentrate on a few sensational items, rather than a whole bunch of off the shelf pieces. I went to Jaime at Rustic101 and explained my vision and he understood what I was after and delivered items that were beyond what I imagined. If you are looking for quick turn around, then this may not be your store, but if you are looking for old world quality, heirloom type pieces Rustic101 is the spot to go. If you can imagine it...they can make it. When my items showed up I literally burst into tears I was so happy. They were perfect. Jaime and his team take so much pride in their workmanship that I was awed. I cannot thank Rustic 101 enough for making my kitchen dreams come true. I purchased an island, a pantry door, an unbelievable carving over my stove, chandeliers, a front door and a gorgeous gate. The prices are not only reasonable, my contractor who helped install the pieces was amazed at the quality. read more

Purchased a beautiful armoire from Rustic 101 over seven years ago and it still looks gorgeous today. I'm looking for a cool rustic door...I saw that they moved from their Solana Beach location and I'm happy to say that I found them in Leucadia in their newer location. I can't believe how friendly & knowledgable James and his staff are. Awesome local business! read more

All I can say is WOW, wait till you see my courtyard door! Our neighbor's down the street put in a door which was exactly what we wanted & they gave us Rustic 101's address. We not only found the door for the courtyard but a beautiful front door. They send us updates on the progress & our door should be here in time for Xmas. If you have a photo of what you want bring it in & it will get built! I can't say enough about this family owned place. read more

Our gates are amazing! They changed the whole look of our house, we couldn't be happier. We found this company through reading reviews on Yelp and it's nice to come full circle now and write a 5 star review. They have excellent customer service and excellent workmanship. Even our pool maintenance company and gardener have complimented the gates to us and let us know these will last a lifetime. We ordered 3 total - 2 side gates and a shorter front gate. We gave Rustic 101 a general idea of what we wanted and they came up with the design and executed them perfectly. A big thanks, you guys know what you're doing!! read more

Wow! This company is amazing.... I ordered with them a Custom Entry Door, 1 wine cellar door and 2 Gates, and their job overpass my expectations; My contractor just installed them last week, and he was telling me about the superior quality this company delivered to me; craftsmanship of fine makers he said. I am telling all my neighbors where to get superior quality and affordable; on time and easy to deal with. I can not wait to order my next Custom piece with them; a Wall Unit TV station, to my own design. Thanks again James for delivering your promises to us. read more

Have had several items that have been ordered from Rustic 101 and have had many quality issues, some of which were never resolved. Stereo cabinets where the shelves fall out, furniture where the finish essentially wipes off, desks that were first finished with the wrong finish and now the desk drawers are completely non functional. Very not satisfied. read more

Great product, clean installation, on time delivery friendly service and local availability for maintenance. Highly recommended.

I ordered a front door from Rustic 101 for around $4000.00. The materials used were not high quality, the finish work of the door was terrible and the length of time to delivery almost 9 months. If they attempted to fix damage they used tinted putty with their fingers with no attempt to smooth it out so left with large bumps complete with fingerprints otherwise, they just left splintered unfinished wood, not sanded as they did with the hinges, one of which was cut too large. (the door is dark so the unfinished wood really stands out). The door frame wasn't screwed into the house so the door kept shifting not allowing us to open it and when they installed the frame, they discovered their measurements were off so they incorrectly cut into the house to jam it in and it wasn't straight. The threshold of the door wasn't nailed, screwed or glued in and there was daylight coming through under the door. Also, the door started to split as they didn't use a solid piece of wood. End result is I have to purchase a new door but it won't be from Rustic 101. read more
