Lastly he was talking with curses on phone when we talked about the failures and how to fix! Unprofessional and Skillless and even dangerous with anger issues and cursing!

Not only that, he is probably the best price in town for laying down floors. We had estimates from others but AJs beat their prices by a mile. Me and my wife also like how punctual, communicative and courteous he was. They rarely took any breaks and stayed until the job was done. Shit, if I ever going to buy more property here in San Diego again, I'm for sure going to hit up AJ again to do my flooring for sure.

I can not thank RBD Contracting Solutions enough! I called Robert to come look at my pergola I…read morebought at Costco and could not get put up. I have seen some of the work he has done from his daughter over the years and was very impressed. Although I didn't think he would even take time to come look at this because the size of the job was not something he could retire on (Lol) he came to look right away. Robert gave me a very fair price, he was kind, he showed up exactly as promised and works fast. I could not give RBD Contracting Solutions, Inc and Robert a big enough recommendation to equal how happy I am with him and his work. 5 star service and quality work without a doubt! Thank you so much!!

Everything was carefully repaired and attended to. We highly recommend RBD Handyman Solutions and their excellent work!

After reading Peter's positive review from Yelp and his Internet link, I was very impressed with his exemplary work ethics and positive attitudes. Plus, along with his great knowledge of construction backgrounds, Peter was very friendly, helpful, and professional in terms of handyman service. For instance, Peter kindly offered to take all of these attic debris into recycling/garbage sites on his own with no complaints or gripes at all. Wow, what a nice, generous gesture of him; it actually saved my time and energy, for sure! Then, after the SDGE crews installed the insulation in the attic, the crews told my Mom that they thought Peter did a great job clearing things out of the attic. Obviously, Peter is exactly the type of the true handyman with dignity, integrity, and class that I was looking for, so I definitely want to continue to use him, if needed. Thanks a lot, Peter! ;)

I had a lot of repairs to make to the house and didn't have the budget to replace the vanity, so I just wanted to reface the cabinet. I sent out Yelp quote requests to at least 15 companies, and most responded with either ridiculous costs or that the job was too small to do. I got a few reasonable quotes and decided to go with Sam from Stylish Cabinets. Sam came quickly to measure and give me a quote. When I asked for a few addition things (adding wooden frames to my full-wall bathroom mirrors, which were showing wear around the edges), he came back with his carpenter, Mor, to measure and give me an exact quote. They came back within two weeks to complete the job, having built all of the doors, drawers, and frames by hand. The quality of the work was excellent, and the customer service was even better. Sam was so courteous and thoughtful throughout the process. We didn't have a big budget so they were able to meet our needs and never tried to upsell us on things we couldn't afford. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone looking to do cabinet refacing. Sam explained to me that he had been in business for a number of years in the Sacramento area but recently relocated to San Diego. Although they have few reviews locally, he clearly is experienced in the area and that showed in my experience with him.

This is a review for Jonathan Jones and Teak Owl for a project to do the following:…read moreCreate 6 custom cabinets Create 2 custom tower cabinets with appliance garages Resurface 30 cabinet doors Create 5 pullout drawers We originally interviewed 4 cabinet makers with good reviews on Thumbtack. Jonathan Jones of Teak Owl told us that he was a 4th generation cabinet maker and assured us that the job wouldn't be completed until we were 100% satisfied with the end result. 6 months later we still have unfinished cabinets and are dissatisfied with Teak Owl. We felt that Jonathan misrepresented the quality of his work and was belligerent when we pointed out mistakes/errors, often emotionally charging conversations and threatening us with "not showing up tomorrow". There were several issues with the quality of work. Items shipped unprotected - arrived damaged Cabinets were shipped with no covering whatsoever, resulting in them being heavily nicked/scratched/blemished upon arrival. Items damaged during installation Cabinets were damaged during installation - several dings, scratches, and blemishes were added while Teak Owl installed the cabinets. When we brought the previous two points regarding damaged cabinets up to Jonathan, he argued that he didn't charge us for "perfect" cabinets - more on this later Mismatched paint for touch up To repair the previously mentioned damage, Jonathan decided to use paint with a glossy finish, despite the fact that the cabinets were painted with a matt finish. His touch ups now look like greasy stains. Crown molding Painted with immediately noticeable poor quality - there were several highly visible blemishes. When we brought this up to Jonathan, he dismissively lectured us that we were "incorrectly" viewing the blemishes with multiple light sources and accused us of going out of our way to find mistakes. This seems like a pretty lame excuse for poor workmanship. The cabinets would nearly always be under two light sources anyways, given the kitchen windows. Gaps in tower cabinet installation One of the tower cabinet's right sides floats from the countertop and has a ¼" gap - it was supposed to rest on the counter. Jonathan claimed that the wall was not plumbed properly and therefore it was impossible for him to make the cabinets flush. It would have been easy to flush had he scribed and/or leveled it. Cabinet door overshaved One of the cabinet doors was shaved down too heavily, resulting in it noticeably not aligning with the other cabinet doors. Original crown molding didn't match The crown molding appeared unfinished because it was noticeably narrower than the decorative side panels. Jonathan claimed that he finishes all crown moldings this way, but agreed to redo it. Cabinet crown didn't align correctly As he redid the crown, we noticed that the crown joints at the corners did not align with the doors - this looked unprofessional and of DIY quality. Jonathan claimed it was not a mistake, and that the crown should align with the cabinet box and not the doors. We asked Jonathan to redo this as well, and offered pay for the additional work. Inconsistent cabinet drawer fronts - looks like repurposed material The majority of base cabinet drawer fronts Jonathan installed have two 1 and inch hinge holes in the back. These holes are visible in the garbage pullout door and one of the drawers when you open. In all the bigger drawers except one, he installed the drawer fronts with hinge holes at the bottom so the holes are not visible. But in one drawer, he installed the holes at the top, so when you open the drawer, you see 2 big holes at the top. When we addressed it, he said "We typically drill holes in them." They look ugly and look like repurposed old doors. It does not make sense to drill hinge holes on the drawer fronts. He agreed to plug the holes on the garbage pull out door, but told us that we should not care so much about the back of the drawer front. If he installed the one drawer front with holes at the bottom like all the other drawers he did, there would be no issues at all, but he installed this one drawer front upside down for some reason. He was not happy to flip the one drawer front and reluctantly did it. We noticed after he flipped the drawer front, the drawer did not open well and we knew something was not right. When we asked him about the drawer not opening very smoothly he didn't even bother to check it but said, "It's because of your drawer." It would have taken Jonathan less than a minute to realize that the left side of the drawer was off the rail, wheels resting on top of the rail. He had mistakenly installed the drawer front while the drawer was off rail resulting in the drawer front not centered and crooked by 1/2". To make the matter worse, the drawer front is cracked in the back, and we believe Jonathan was trying to hide the crack by installing the drawer front upside down.

The cabinets throughout my condo (kitchen and two bathrooms) were showing wear and making the space feel dated. Jonathan was attentive and collaborative during the design process. Without having the budget for an entirely new kitchen, they were able to leverage the existing cabinets and reface the dated wood/pulls. It now appears to be entirely new and completely modern. Even when faced with issues of my doing (ordering a refrigerator that was too large & a broken tile) they were able to pivot with the design to make it work. The finished product looks amazing and compared to a complete remodel, they saved me thousands!! I could not be happier with the entire experience and finished product.
