I am so happy that I went with Spectrum Renovation! Richard (the owner) was recommended to me and provided an assessment of the mold remediation needed on my property. In addition to the assessment, he evaluated the situation and offered longer term solutions for the causes of the mold (sprinklers to close to the property, property sloping downwards, etc.). When we started the remediation, Richard came to set things up the first day and his team took over after that. His team (especially JP) is so professional and so easy to communicate with - they kept me informed and answered all my questions. And of course, the best part is that we passed the mold retesting with flying colors! Richard is an honest person and offers very good advice. I highly recommend him and his company. read more

Richard and his team are beyond amazing. I have had the good fortune of having Spectrum complete work on my properties for a decade and they have always exceeded my expectations. They are done on time, their craftsmanship is excellent and his team is friendly and I feel comfortable with them in my house whether I am there or not: kitchen renovation, water damage repairs, hot water replacement, painting, deck replacement - truly his team can do it all and always reasonably priced. Thank you Richard .. And my dogs actually like Mario and Chino.. They don't like anyone.. Dogs are good judges of character! read more

We originally were referred to Spectrum from a forensic mold investigator- so you know they are creditable. Our family had purchased a home that we knew had some mold damage. What I've learned about mold is you don't really know what you are getting yourself into until you start peeling things back. This project turned from one room into every perimeter wall of the entire house. From a budget standpoint, you go in thinking one number and then it could just explode exponentially then it's too late you are married to your vendor. "In for a penny in for a pound right?" Spectrum was in a position which they could have completely taking advantage of us. The President, Richard, himself came out to assess the situation and work out a fair plan for our family. Here's the NET: - Spectrum shows up on time and delivers - hard to find when dealing w/ contractors - They don't point figures if something can't get done, I've had this issue w/ several trades - Richard & JP as well as their crew and great people and care about the health of your family. - If you need more of a reference, private message me. read more

Why can't I leave zero stars? Horrible experience. They measured and looked at the old carpet in a rental then on delivery and installation day they decided that they didn't want to do the job. Just like that after waiting more than a week they changed their mind. They called me early in the morning and ask if we had a garage or carport that they could cut the carpet because it might rain. Then Lowes called me and said without warning that the old carpet was too dirty for them to rip out. read more

Spectrum Renovations did an outstanding job of upgrading our home garage. They put down an epoxy floor, installed drywall, painted, installed storage cabinets, and installed sliding doors. Freddy, Manny, and Memo are real craftsmen. They know what they're doing and are very precise and careful. Plus, they are really nice guys! We are extremely satisfied with the work Spectrum did and we will use them for any future work we need. read more

We had a leaky shower that caused some mold issues, which turned in to a bathroom remodel. We chose Spectrum based on a recommendation from a family member. We couldn't be happier with how the bathrooms have turned out. In addition to addressing the leak and replacing the areas with mold, we replaced the carpeting and linoleum with tile, and replaced the shower tile and enclosure with a frameless shower. The tile floors and the shower look beautiful. We were very impressed with how careful and attentive Freddy and Chris were in the quality of their work, and we also appreciated the care they took in cleaning the work area each night. Even the shower installer mentioned how straight and plumb the shower tiles were laid, and since I'm sure he sees a lot of showers, that compliment speaks volumes. We were also very pleased with how they were willing to address our concerns during the project and to make sure we were happy with the result. We will not hesitate to recommend Spectrum to any of our friends in need of this type of work. read more

Richard remodeled my home in 2001, including a new roof, stucco and kitchen plumbing amongst many other things. Since that remodel, I've poured thousands of dollars into fixing leaks into the roof, both chimneys and the kitchen plumbing. The plumbing got so bad that I had to turn off the water under the island b/c I couldn't afford to rip out my wood floor and do a re-pipe. I haven't used the island sink in years. Over the last few years, the stucco began to deteriorate. Along with major horizontal cracks across the exterior wall with pieces falling off, both chimneys have major cracks on both sides that make it look like they are separating from the house (they aren't). It's so bad that I couldn't get the appraiser to pass it to refi my house. On the recommendation of one of the stucco repair companies I called, I emailed photos to Richard to see if he'd come take a look at it. After much back and forth (be prepared to email him multiple times if you want a response), he stated that "stucco should last longer than this" and came out with his new stucco guy. With my permission to see what was underneath, the stucco guy knocked an ever bigger piece off the chimney and said the chimneys weren't done correctly (the flashing wasn't tied in and had popped). Some time later Richard offered to have his stucco guy patch the cracks and holes (he would pay for it) and I could pay for expansion joints at both chimneys. By looking at neighbors' homes, speaking to stucco repair companies and having paid for multiple repairs on major items that failed way before their time, I am convinced the stucco is failing because it was installed incorrectly. I asked Richard several times for clarification on a few things - never received a response. I also never received a reply when I asked him to just band aid it as he said he would, although I don't want to pay for the expansion joints. I understand the house is out of warranty. But I had a tiny glimmer of hope that since he took the time to come out here and look at the problem, told me stucco should last longer than this and his own stucco guy said it wasn't done right, that he'd fix it. Joke is on me It's obvious by ignoring my emails that he has no intention of helping me. What's most disappointing is the waste of time I've spent believing that he'd actually step up to the plate and do the right thing by fixing the stucco. read more

In July 2015 I asked for advice and a quote to repair an upper deck that caused leaking in some apartments my parents own. In no time did they arrive and were really helpful finding the problem -- wood rot. They sent me a quote and I had the expense approved but when the time came to actually do the work they never committed to a date. They continually kept putting me off claiming they had larger projects and that their personnel were spread thin as it was. Finally, they actually told me to go elsewhere. I never did understand the change in their previously helpful attitude so I'm left with the belief my project just wasn't big enough for them. I had heard Spectrum was wonderful -- until the project isn't large enough for them to bother with, I guess. Very unprofessional to treat the 'little guy' with such disdain. What's even more awkward is a series of the pictures shown on the Yelp Review are of my parents other properties in the Gaslamp! Bad form, Spectrum. read more
