Economy Home Repair is an outstanding company. Kris and his crew of three painter/construction staff did a very profession job on my house. Every detail was attended to. Most of the window frames needed repair and they expertly did the repairs. They thoroughly spray/washed my house prior to the painting and sealed and caulked everywhere that it was needed. The painting was completed very professionally, which included the oil decking on the front and back steps. My house now looks beautiful and like new. My neighbor was raving about how great my house looks with its new coat of paint and the fine white paint on the trim. I was very much surprised when Kris first gave the me the quote for his amount to do the job. It was so much less than I expected it to be, but Kris insisted that it was an equitable amount. Kris was very quick to respond to my initial request on Thumbtack for the painting job. He contacted me right away. The whole painting job was completed in four days and all the ground around the house was cleaned up of work debris. Kris’ Economy Home Repair did a great job on my house and I am very happy with the result.

I highly recommend Economy Home Repair, which recently completed a job at our 1910s house in Berkeley including replacement of some rotten siding, installation of two new windows, and painting all on the 2nd floor of the house. We could not be happier with our experience. Signing up with Kris was a no-brainer: his team has stellar reviews, his bid for the job was more than fair, and he arrived on-time for meetings and responded promptly to emails. This was extremely hard work - not the most fun job - and I was particularly impressed that Carl and his team completed the job safely after just 5 consecutive days. Given my prior experience with contractors and jobs that can extend for weeks or longer, it is unusual to get that kind of attention. All the materials were high quality, and I cannot find a single flaw in Carl's workmanship. Overall had a very positive experience, and I'm particularly happy to have found a trustworthy contractor I can turn to for future work.

Kris was very professional from the very beginning; He looked over the property and gave me ideas on how to increase the value of our home and provided a proposal and stuck by it. It took exactly 5 weeks to complete and have my house up and ready to sell. His crew painted inside and out, remove dry rot from the outside of the home, restored front door, re-built our fence, removed all the left-over clutter from the passing of my mother. Kris also did the most compassionate thing by taking my mother beloved dog (Bella) to his home with his family, I never seen Bella so happy. Economy Home Repair did a wonderful job and would highly recommend.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Nope, very easy, a straight forward price that I garantee not to exceed, unless we add more work, and clients always add more work, when they start, just do this, then they see how good we are and say, can you do this and this also....
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, any and all classes that vendors offer, they are always bringing the newest and if you don't learn, then your behind the times, and in this field, you will be out in no time.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Watching my dad build the most beautiful houses in Marin. Fell in love with doing hard work and seeing the results.
