Let me tell you about Kris and Economy Home Repair. I had the most amazing experience working with this company this past summer. I was looking for the exterior siding of my house to be replaced and repainted ~ 2000 sq. ft job. Kris contacted me within minutes of messaging him on thumbtack. We easily made an appointment for Kris to come to the house and check out the scope of work. Kris came with his son, Ryan, who is training to become a foreman with the family company. Kris was very thorough as we went along, pointing things out for me to know (sometimes unrelated to the job but he thought I should know as a first time home owner) and his plan.
I quickly received his estimate (as well as 2 other estimates) for the job, and while his was the highest, I could tell that the quality of work he would do would be worth the extra cost. When I say quality, I mean it. They replaced, sanded, sealed all the bad wood. Kris went around the whole property with a screwdriver testing the siding and trim. They primered the BACK of the new siding to help resist rotting. They removed, painted and reinstalled all gutters and replaced some as needed. AND THEY HAND PAINTED THE ENTIRE HOUSE. No billowing sheets of plastic on everything, no overspray on the fence, sidewalk etc. And when Kris realized the job was going to take longer than expected, he communicated with me and didn't cut corners to increase his profit margin.
He had a small crew, and the same wonderful guys showed up everyday. And they seemed happy to come to work! It was very hot for a few days and Kris let me know that he would cut the day short so his workers didn't have to work in the extreme heat! It's these things that make a good company a great company. And they were so respectful of our house and space, cleaning up at the end of every day, being mindful of where they put tools and parked cars, etc. I could go on and on. I cannot wait to work with Kris again, and I will definitely be hiring him again to interior paint and do drywall in the spring. Thank you Economy Home Repair!!
Details: Home • One story • Entire building • 1,000 - 1,500 sq ft • Wood • I will buy the paint myself • Trim pulling away from house • Water damage • Peeling or flaking paint

What a pleasure it was working with Economy Home Repair for my concrete needs! Khris and his team were very knowledgeable and articulate when it came to explaining how they could help with my project. More importantly, they worked with me and my budget. What would have taken me over a week to do and more money, they came in a knocked it out in 2DAYS!!!! within budget.
I will definitely be using EHR again for other projects and referring you to others.
Thanks again EHR Team!

Kris, Tugo and team painted the exterior of our home, poured concrete around the home to fill the vegetation against the house, replaced fence posts screwed into the stucco and replaced them with metal posts cemented in the ground, made a fence, patched old stucco, prepped the house for elastomeric, painted the trim with immense detail, and painted the floors around the perimeter. I am so pleased with the outcome of the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Kris and his team put an amazing amount of effort into making my home beautiful. Thank you so much for the amazing work.

To sum it up Kris and his Team did an outstanding job. We had a tight time frame to get our job done and Kris made sure it would happen. They installed shingle siding, completed 3 decks, a trellis, down spouts, some plumbing and electrical work. Kris did everything requested plus. I have worked with many contractors and would not hesitate to hire Kris again. We plan on getting a quote from Kris for remodeling our kitchen, master bathroom and living room. I can't thank you and your Team for doing such a great job. You guys are the BEST!!!

Strongly recommended, 5 stars-plus!!
We would like to thank Kris and his team ( Alex, Yuri, Noel, Miguel I, and Miguel II) for the beautiful work they did to our house.
Our house was built in 1932 and needed work such as siding, external painting, and 10 windows replacement. All this work required more than 5 weeks’ time.
Everything Kris told us during negotiation; he did and kept his word. He even performed needed extra work without asking additional money. Kris responded promptly to our calls and answered professionally to all our questions.
Kris and his crew did a very detailed and careful job. Kris’s employees worked very hard, they were very professional and polite.
We are extremely satisfied by Kris‘s work.
In the next few months we will hire back Kris and his crew for more work inside our house.
THANK YOU!!!

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.
