tephen and his crew were fastidious in their attention to detail. Their craftsmanship is excellent. They cleaned up thoroughly each day. They were thoughtful, and exceptionally detailed when explaining how the work would unfold. It was a delight to have them in the apt. Highly recommend!

Hired on Thumbtack

I do not under any circumstances recommend this company. The owner Stephen Vela is unprofessional and dishonest. I hired him to tile my kitchen and install a range hood. Nothing but a nightmare. Poor communication and dishonest practices. When the job was almost finished, he invoiced me for more than double the amount of the original invoice. There was some additional work was done but I understood the increase in cost to be the overage of the cap he set at and I paid). He never informed me of price increases when I asked and was SHOCKED that he was charging me more than double with no head's up of such a high increase in the budget KNOWING I was on a strict budget. Not only did over charge, the work was subpar and I had to remove the kitchen tile he installed and had a professional tiler redo the work. On top of it all, he is taking me to small claim court for $7900+. ** Do not use this contractor.

Details: No, the structure has not yet been built • Closet • Already have plans - just need installation • No, this is a new structure • No, I do not need plumbing or electrical lines installed • Yes, I need drywall applied • Home

Stephen was recommended to me through a friend and I couldn’t be happier that he was. I needed rotten decking around my pool replaced and explained to him that I had a clear budget that I could not surpass. From the time of arrival up to completion, everything was thoroughly communicated and amazing. He explained every aspect that needed to be done to complete the project and came up with a plan that fit my budget. It was very clear that Stephen genuinely cares about the outcome of his work. He prioritized my project, and promptly completed the job according to the timeline given. Could not be more satisfied!! Will definitely call him again and would recommend to anyone
