We invited a few plumbers to assess the problem, but Jorge was the only one who came up with a creative solution to fix the drain on the porch. What could have cost us a huge headache fortunately became an easier fix than anticipated. He has a lot of experience and knowledge. I appreciate Jorge's willingness to test things out and to ensure the solution is the right one. He has also helped us by fixing a broken bathroom drain, switch out the valves for the washing machine, and another valve outside. Don't hesitate to reach out to Jorge!

I recently had my kitchen remodeled, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Jorge and his…read morepartner Rick was truly exceptional from start to finish. He was professional, detail-oriented, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was his craftsmanship and dedication to doing things the right way--not just the easy way. Every part of the kitchen, from cabinets to countertops to lighting, was installed with precision and care. He also accommodated last minute flooring tiles change after finishing almost 50% of the work since i was not liking the tiles that I bought before .. he took them off and again put the new tiles that I shopped the same day . If you are looking for someone reliable I highly recommend him . My kitchen looks amazing because of his efforts and his ideas. It's rare to find someone who combines skill, honesty and pride in their work like this.

Note: We had a budget, gave him the cost of all our appliances, cabinets granite, etc. in ADVANCE of him even starting. After we were told that he would be on/work on the job site every day and we would be the "main" project it turned out for not. He was hardly ever on the job site, things were built torn apart and rebuilt many, many times. We even told him to NOT pull out a header for our master closet (hey it's a closet!) to save $$ and his supposed foreman did it anyway! (his foreman is no longer an employee either) I took photos throughout to document the many issues. When we told him we would not pay for things being redone and redone, he pulled his workers off the job! After negotiation (we needed it finished and no other contractor really wanted to jump in after so much work had been done because they would have to assume any liability) we finally got out "final" even though things were not finished and some of the sub had done shoddy work (painters). We just were fed up and cut the tie. Over the year project, the carpenters would come and go. It seemed he could not "keep" an employee. We even paid him in advance one time to "help" him out a little. In addition, he has a horrible reputation with many sub contractors in our area that I have spoken with personally. (plumbing, glass company, etc) To add insult to injury, he put an illegal lien on our house (the work was not completed yet). We had no problem as we hired an attorney, had photos and documentation but it cost us $$ and time. We will never use him again or give him a referral.

Daniel and his team at DVG Home Improvements just completed a major interior remodel of our Carmel…read moreValley townhouse. We ended up doing all new lighting, new kitchen, new master bathroom, plumbing, etc. Daniel and his team were great. They were orderly and clean. They worked extremely well together, and the quality of their work was excellent. We were 300 miles away for much of the work, but we communicated via FaceTime and phone calls. Despite the distance from the project, we were fully informed on the status of the job and what to expect. We are extremely pleased with the quality of the work done, and the professional manner of their work. All of our neighbors were very complimentary of the clean and organized nature of their demo, trash collection, noise control, and respect for the neighbors. We recommend DVG with absolutely no reservations. They were a pleasure to work with, and we will use them for future exterior work.

I ask you to call JuanTheBuilder because your experience will be much better than you could expect.

His quotes and amendments were written with all of the work described so there was no question of what was needed, what he was doing, and what the cost was. He kept us informed of the progress and if he found problems that would require extra work, he told us exactly what he found, what was needed, and what, if any, the additional cost would be. His quotes were very reasonable, his workmanship stellar, and he made us feel as though we were his only customers and he had all the time in the world for us. I would highly recommend him; I don't think I could find a better contractor.

Cantera was the most down-to-earth and realistic in terms of discussing what the job would entail AND the most reasonably priced. Others were mostly slick sales people who were big on presentation but light on actual knowledge. And they came with huge price tags. We chose to work with Isac from Cantera and are so happy we did. He was honest, reliable, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure the end result was what we expected. He didn't cut corners, and his entire crew was competent, hard-working and friendly. Isac was very responsive, always showed up as promised, and completed the job in a timely manner. Also a good problem solver! Couldn't be more satisfied!! Would recommend Cantera Masonry without reservation!

Today i was on mission street in carmel by the sea carpet cleaning a unit that was in bad shape. I…read morereally wasnt sure if it was goin to clean up . The rental property was managed by San Carlos Agency. I wanted to show off my skills I realized it was a really clean looking unit from the outside with new exterior paint. It was a really thick paint job. As i was bringing up all my equipment i just couldn't help but i was looking for any flaws and i just couldn't find any. I mean who ever painted it did a fantastic job. It was a nice job. It takes 9 trips to get all my gear up stairs and each trip i made i couldn't find a flaw. It was the cleanest paint job ive seen in carmel by the sea. I had been here before about 4 years ago when it was beige it was dull and dinge With that in mind i knew i really had to pull off this carpet cleaning job. It was only 2 rooms and it took 3 hours . As i was letting the carpet solution dwell i took a look around for a worker and asked who painted it. Thats when i introduced myself and met this painter named Jake. He was working on a unit down the hall and i spoke to him and was really impressed with how professional he was. He protected the wood floor inside with a thick moving blanket. He definitely had a deep domain in expertise. San Carlos Agency has an excellent reputation as well. Ive seen multiple painters but he was the only worker i saw. He wasnt rushing - he had integrity- his work station was clean- he was very organized and you just dont see that much - he was talking too the home owner and i heard him say that he painted the whole outside. I pay attention as a professional cleaner always looking for ways too beter my business. He was really organized and i didn't ask him how long hed been a painter. But i admired his demeanor. Most painters are sloppy and take short cuts use the wrong tape and generally have no integrity because its not theres - he was a pleasure to talk too - A Great listener not in a rush i could tell he valued his profession And made it look so easy. I admired that - he totally knew what he was doin and thats bad ass. There was paint all over the apt i was cleaning and making my job harder than it needed to be 14 cigarette burns that i repaired dog Urine - impressions from the bed frame- paint on the stairs and hard wood floors - and more paint along the base boards where they didn't protect the carpet. I asked him if he had painted number 28. He was like no. Jake got down single handedly like i said earlier took me 3 hrs to clean this apt. Hes patience with no errors showed some serious craftsmanship 5 stars for enhancing this huge complex. I took his number so i can pass Davi Construction to other customers looking for FOR high quality skilled painters. The door he painted was perfect as i was very impressed Just super clean. I haven't seen this level of painting here in town in quite some time. My job came out super and its always a pleasure to do work for San carlos AGency . We complemented each other it was a great experience cuz we both do stellar work - it was nice to see someone take as much pride as i do in there work ethic. Real professionals at work

Moderately expensive for painting work, but he is licensed and insured, so I get that. I see the value there. We called on him a second time to do some work for us. He gave us a bid, which was a fixed bid apparently. It was pricey but he stated would take three days. So, didn't seem awful. Then he calls one day and says he'd like to do job the next day as other customer not ready. We scrambled to do the prep of moving furniture, removing pictures from walls and even patching holes in the wall to save them time the next day as well as hoping to get two coats on some larger anchor holes to be patched. His guys came in and blew through the job in 2 days. They left several areas that we had started the patching unsanded and simply painted over. I called him about the price thinking he would decrease since it took so much less time. Nope, it was fixed bid this time. He was extremely defensive about his pricing. No change in price. So basically his estimating is very high and charged 50% more than really should have cost. And now I've got to go through the headache of fixing the patches that they did not address properly. And yes, I could probably have him come out and address, but honestly, I'm kind of over dealing with him. It's easier to just do it myself. So much for the convenience of hiring a "professional". He made his money on my job. I don't plan to use him again. If you do decide to use him, I would strongly recommend insisting on a time and materials basis only.

I had an accepted contract w/ Mr. Perez, to prep and re-stain both sides of a fence between my…read moreneighbor and I. The Property is located here in Carmel. He had full access to both sides of the fence. Our contract was a little under $1,000-. He did my side, then apparently, went to the other side and said he didn't realize my neighbor's side of the fence had paint on it also, that had to be removed. So he did a change order of over $500-. We argued the point back and forth, and 2 months later my neighbor and I finally agreed to pay the extra to put this behind us. I emailed, texted, called and left voice mails with Mr. Perez. He ignored me for weeks. He finally got back to me a few days ago, to tell me that he wouldn't be doing the job anymore, even though we accepted the higher price. He was very rude and condescending. He gets very emotional. Not only that, but he texted me in the end saying I was trying to get the job for free... apparently he never read my emails and texts stating we would pay the extra $500-? Stay away from him, is my suggestion. Now I have to find someone to try and finish someone else's work, which many contractors don't like to do.
