I have used Edward for YEARS. First and foremost he is licensed & knowledgable. He and his crew are…read moreprofessional and do high quality work on the given time line. He moves projects along quickly and effectively. He put in my quartz kitchen counter top, redid my kitchen plumbing, installed a new kitchen window, re drywalled various areas, and reworked my kitchen electrical! My kitchen is gorgeous! Next, we had a flood issue with our living room (built in 74...step down style). We called Edward at 6pm and he came by as we were in a panic. He got us stable and then he and his guys essentially rebuilt the side of our home (new insulation, blew out concrete, regraded side yard, re stuccoed , replaced weepscrete, replaced facia, inside dry wall etc.) and after all the heavy rains this winter we had ZERO water issues! I just had him finish my guest bathroom and once again I am very pleased with the work. It is important to note that Edward will come back out and address anything minor that you may want adjusted (he will swing by on the weekend etc). I am someone who gets multiple bids and I would say Edward isn't the most expensive or the cheapest. Bottomline if they are cheap they probably are NOT licensed and bonded. I am very particular and Edward and his crew never disappoint!

How do you give negative stars?…read more I do not enjoy writing or speaking ill of anyone, friend or foe, but unfortunately I felt obligated to share this recent experience that I'm fortunate that he never started any work. Please do yourself a favor, don't waste your breath or time calling him. He spoke to my wife to schedule an installation today at 9am. She provided our address and confirmed that if they finish the install in one day the cost would be $700 even, but if they went two days it would be $800 even. A few days ago Edward texted my wife saying he had an opening for Monday and he needed our address. My wife replied and said let's stick with Wednesday since no one would be home when they arrived. She texted Tuesday to confirm the appointment for the next day with no response. She texted this again to this morning and received a defensive response as he didn't feel like he did anything wrong. Sounds like drama, I know, but it all could have been easily avoided. He simply needed to say I'm sorry I misplaced the note where I wrote down your address. On top of this I found two other providers that have more experience that can do the install in 4 hours for $375! Another one from gorilla play sets website for $600. Both cheaper! Edward is not capable of being wrong or taking criticism. When I tried calling to figure out what was wrong he immediately called my pregnant wife unprofessional. I couldn't get in word in without him speaking over me so I can explain our experience with him. I've been fortunate to be incredibly successful by providing service that no one else can or is willing to do. This guy does the opposite. Good luck if you end up using him. On another note, I found Andy on craigslist and he's an awesome guy. Just search playground or playset install on craigslist and he's the only one that shows up for San Diego under services. He's charging me $375 and I told him what happened and he's coming out next week even though he's booked through mid August.

Jair guided me through selection of materials as well giving me good design input. His team worked hard every day (including 2 weekends) to complete their high quality workmanship in 10 days. When i needed the (very fair priced) invoice revised with more detail for insurance purposes, Jair gladly did so. 2 times! I highly recommend Friends and Brothers and plan on using them for my next project: a kitchen remodel.

Summary: installed carpet incorrectly, only available solution was to redo the carpet (no refunding…read moreavailable), carpet was redone but they left our house a mess. Full story: My wife and I just purchased a new house in Carlsbad, build by Lennar who partnered with Vintage Design to monopolize all flooring that could be installed by the builder. Translation: Vintage can charge whatever they want for upgrades and the only other option is to have them install the "free" carpet/tile and rip it out after you move in only to have another company come install your upgraded flooring (which by the way, will save you thousands). My wife and I have a dog and a baby so figured why not keep the "free" stuff and get our use out of it before we upgrade to something like hardwood later down the road. The "free" stuff was nice enough anyway. Move in day we noticed that the carpet was laid incorrectly in our master bedroom, a very large section was laid the wrong direction, which makes it look like one side is brown and the other side is tan...not pretty. We informed them of this mistake and they said the only option was to replace the ENTIRE upstairs carpet. If they only replaced the bedroom there's a chance the roll they had that day would be slightly different than the rolls used the first time, so they wanted it all to match. I like the idea of it matching correctly, but you have to understand that when you move you just spent HOURS arranging furniture and getting things just right and now they're going to need to move it all. I asked if we could just take a refund check and live with the defect for the time being, they said no. So fast forward to yesterday and they did the whole upstairs in one day, but left a whirlwind of mess behind. They left a bag of nails on the window sill, staples on the ground, bits of carpet trash all over, and moved our stuff all over the place. Didn't put the ping pong table back, didn't put speakers back where they were, moved everything in our closets around and didn't put them back, moved half of our daughters stuffed animals into another room and left them there, and for some creepy reason they went into our master closet and left stuff in there too. They even moved a pair of my jeans and some tennis sweat bands from the floor in our master closet to the loft...very weird stuff. These guys are just a headache. They screw up the job, try to fix it and leave us with hours of reorganizing everything back to where it was. Avoid them.

On a recommendation, we hired Mike Schearing for a relatively small project. It involved removing 4…read moreslanted windows, reframing the space and finishing interior and exterior. Also, partially rebuild a large patio cover, and pour a raised concrete pad for a gazebo to be installed later. There were other odds and ends thrown in. The work was first rate, the repaired wall where the windows were removed matches perfectly, can't even tell there was work done. Patio cover is clean and solid, and the concrete pad finished perfectly. He also ran electric out to the pad. Mike was on time, showed respect to our home, and worked clean, leaving the place neat and dust-free. Even worked around our golden retriever! I highly recommend Schearing Construction. We will not hesitate to use them again.

The level of knowledge and professionalism is outstanding; I can't say enough great things about Mike (owner).

I would HIGHLY recommend Schearing Construction to anyone who is looking for a contractor. You will not be disappointed.
