Coronado Carport Building

We originally chose this company because of their honest bidding on our renovations.  Little did we know that we picked a top notch winner.  They recognized our budget and came through on target.  Don, the owner, recognized project deadlines and ensured that that they were completed as promised.  Staff is friendly, professional and respectful.  Weststar staff is knowledgeable, talented and well connected in the community.  Daily communication.  I don?t think a day went by when our contractor was not on site.  They took care of all coordination of licensed professionals and city permits.  Projects included taking a 1927 tiny and dilapidated bathroom, expanded it and  re-created it to its original splendor.  They were skillful enough to create a linen closet that looks of the 1920?s era. They were able to create walls where there were none.  They were able to relocate attic access to another location. Their skills were equally impressive in the kitchen.  It was deplorable.  It is now exquisite, flawless.  They created an overhang/carport which looks beautiful and authentic to the house. Also smaller projects such as texturize and paint walls. We could not be more happy with the finished products.  They take care of every little aspect of home renovation.  When work was finished at the end of each day, they thoroughly cleaned up after themselves removing all debris.  You will definitely want to call this company.   I am entrusting them to do a major remodel of the exterior next,  They are re-stuccoing the entire house.  I am that confident in them.  They also offer choices of exterior landscaping.

James and his crew did a fairly large job for us including backyard, front yard and outdoor living space. Deep Rooted Designs knocked it out of the park. We came into the process with a budget and a few must-haves, and James worked with us to make sure his design included them,  but also kept us within our budget. The result was something we are happy and proud to call our own. Deep Rooted Designs went above and beyond as they were very flexible with some issues that happened during the build. We needed to move our gas meter 10 feet, something we thought would be pretty simple. However, our power utility gave us bad information and turned a relatively simply job into a 2 month nightmare. James not only worked out a way to move a custom shed he built so we could dig out the gas line, but was able to work us back into his schedule without too much hassle.  After the work was done, he's kept in touch, done some tune up work and has replaced some plants that didn't do so well. I highly recommend him and Deep Rooted Designs.

I highly recommend Bison Constructors. We hired Bison for a large project for a Homeowners Association to rebuild all of the stairwells due to termite/water damage. Bison came in much lower than most of the other contractors. All contractors mentioned that if there was additional damage there would be additional costs. This was somewhat concerning because it could essentially become a blank check once the project is started. There did end up being additional repairs needed but Bison has been great and completely fair with the extra costs. He was good with communication, scheduling and completeing the job on time. His work has also been outstanding. He did a really nice job and it turned out better than we hoped. We've since hired him to do several other projects around the building. I would absolutely recommend him for any project and have already done so.

Michael was great! He gave us a very clear and complete estimate and timeline. The job was to duplicate the woodwork over the back patio so the front looked the same. It looks great and we will be talking to him after the holidays for a kitchen remodel.

They showed up right on time and finished right when they said they were going to finish.  They are very nice to work with.  I am actually thinking about using him again to build a dog house to match the shed.  They were very easy to work with.  They are very nice people.

I had a lot of personal contact with John Hammer. He was really good about communicating with me. I enjoyed working with him. We are very pleased with the work they did. It took them about 10 days to complete the job.

We are pleased to recommend Matrix Construction. The company built a beautiful guest house for us, together with a covered patio and a new garage. They not only did excellent work, they made recommendations throughout the project which added to its ultimate success. Matt has the same crew working with him all the time, and they were always here when they were expected. I can’t stress too much the reliability and quality of workmanship they brought to our project.

We had a dispute with Rogers about permit fees, so under our express rights in the contract we decided to terminate the agreement. He then tried to charge us $673,427 for work he didn't even do. I warn everyone, do not do business with Ryan Rogers of Rogers Construction.

Update: After my review (below), Mike, new GM at Tuff Shed called - very apologetic for problems I encountered during a transition, and we discussed how he could make it right.  Because I didn?t notice everything at once and had problems with another company trying to correct issues, I had not given TS a chance to resolve issues which wasn?t fair to them.  Mike was very sincere about high quality product & customer service.  We came up with a resolution & he promptly scheduled someone for next business day even though they were very busy.  Arturo gave courtesy call, arrived as scheduled, and we discussed.  He was professional & polite and did good work.  TS really made the effort to take care of everything so I am now a satisfied customer and will use TS next year when I get a large shed.   Original: Mixed on Tuff Shed.  Phone contacts friendly & helpful (Texas & local office, Home Depot outside rep).  Order person at Home Dep was friendly but not knowledgeable so had to call outside rep to walk through.  TS called to confirm order & to schedule, and was to email confirmation & info (didn?t).  I scheduled a month out & requested afternoon appt since would have last minute to do morning of.  I called week before to confirm afternoon & request info not sent, and day before to confirm afternoon.  Was stunned when they arrived 4 hours early at 8:30am since I was not ready.  I asked why morning without notifying me and why no on-their-way phone call promised so at least a little heads up.  Decided to make the best so scrambled to get ready.   I asked about base ? per Home Depot?s suggestion I had leveled dirt & laid 2 inches gravel for drainage since this was a lean-to.  I wanted shed close to house since only a narrow path, and porch since would encroach a window.  I asked if I should rake some gravel away from house & porch since would get pushed back when shed was moved in place.  They said don?t worry, they?d take care of it. When done, shed was 9 inches from house & porch so heavily encroached path & window which I said wasn?t acceptable.  They got it closer (would have been closer if I?d moved gravel as I?d suggested). They put blocks under 3 corners to level (pushing had unleveled some areas).  Shed was 10 inches above ground ? 2 from gravel, 2 from blocks, and 6 from shed?s metal base.  I asked how shed would settle since on blocks (HD said shed would immediately settle 1-2 inches in gravel, more with time).  They shrugged it off so I?ll have to add steps ? inconvenient when bringing large items in/out.  I did a quick inspection and had them trim a shim with sharp edges sticking out, hammer some large roof staples sticking up (wasn?t until I was on a ladder later I saw how poorly the metal had been attached to the shed roof ? cut too short, 2nd piece added crookedly and large staples missed metal, barely in, or 3 on top of each other).  The shed was pre-cut at factory - some support studs are too short (can slide little finger in gaps), some had cracks, and several nails missed studs.  Third of inch gap along roof line which I caulked to minimize rain/black widow spiders, etc. coming in.   I supplied Behr paint to match house ? walls were reasonable but trim was sloppy ? areas too thin or missed entirely so I re-painted.  The 2 guys worked quickly & efficiently and only took a couple hours since it was a small shed.  Although I believe this will be a long-lasting shed, not quite the quality I expected from TS?s high reputation.   

I had a very, very good experience with this company; they did a wonderful job. The crew that came out and did the work was very professional, and the work that they did was of the highest quality and turned out great; their prices, I think, were very fair.
