All Star Construction

They will trick you to sign the machine lien that mean you cannot sue them in court, so they can put the lien on your property. They won't honor their estimate and you will see all the hidden fee on final invoice. If you are the victim like me you should file complaint to Department of Consumer Affair's Contractors State License Board of your grievance. Don't let them get off easily. Their employees have awful skills set. They charge unheard off: permit processing, estimate and negotiation, profits and overhead that is not disclosing until the end. After you sign the contract and David Cohen will refuse to provide you the work breakdown. When you got the final invoice , you will see unheard of charges. They will lien your property if you don't pay. Over $7,000 on estimate.

Larry came out in 2017 had us approved with the pace program to do painting and windows. The paint is suppose to be no peel and last forever which is a lie is peeling and look a mess. The guys who painted didn't prep the house they just painted over the old stucco did no patch work. They were just rushing cause they had another job. I have called for them to come repair. Oh Iam sending someone they never show then the windows are cheap 2 have broken called for them to come repair. They keep telling me they are very busy. I would not recommend them for nothing. They are the worst. Thinking about sueing.

Very nice work, completed in 3 days. 

All Star was supposed to come in and perform the repair and replacement work on 5/14. The team showed up and was surprised that the house was two stories; they didn't have their ladders with them. They said they would be back in two weeks. We heard nothing from them during these two weeks. All Star showed up on 5/28 and seemed to have no idea what to do. I walked them around and showed them what needed to be repaired. It has been a battle to get any information from All Star as to what they are going to do. All Star got most of the work was done. The team ended up leaving some equipment and old wood. A guy named Zach came and got the ladders. I then asked Zach what they were going to do about the stucco work. He said they said would come back and do it. So far they haven't come back to finish the job.

The quality of the work they performed is good, but they didn't finish the job. They are incredibly hard to get in touch with. They were two weeks late to do the fascia work, but they got the work done. They for the most part did a good job on what they did, but they haven't finished the work they were contracted to do.

Update 6/11/13:

Shortly after speaking to Eric at Angie?s List on 6-5-13, All Star Construction contracted me to schedule the stucco repair. I was told by Selina that Zach would be out between 11 AM and 1 PM on 6-6-13 to do the work. We agreed that he would call me before coming over.

At approximately noon on 6-6-13, Zach called to say he was in Malibu (approximately 60 miles away across Los Angeles) and was on his way. At approximately 2 pm, he called again to tell me that the color we require was not a standard color on the La Habra Stucco website. He suggested that he try another stock color that looked similar.

When he showed up with the color, it was way too dark. I called the La Habra Stucco people (which he could have done with the phone number from the website) and I ordered the color mix from a local distributor. This should have been done when I provided the information to Zach on 5-30-13. Now I am again in a holding pattern while the color is delivered to the local distributor (sometime next week) for ME to pick up. I am then supposed to call and reschedule another time to have the work attempted again.

Final Disposition:

On June 24, 2013, I received an email from Chelsea of Angie?s List stating:

I heard from All Star Construction and they stated they weren?t familiar with your name or address and couldn?t locate your account. So, if you could please take a look at the information and questions below and provide me with answers I would greatly appreciate it.

To which I responded that day:

Good Morning:

This is the company I have been dealing with.

The latest in the continuing drama is that they are supposed to be out here again 7-2-13 between 9 and 11 AM to try to do the stucco again after I picked up the color last week.

I also provided substantially more information to help identify the jobsite & work to be completed. This information also included a copy of the email that was sent to Terminix and All Star asking that the contract be canceled before the work even began due to the communication issues we were experiencing. Chelsea responded that she would get back to me when All Star responded. This never happened.

Apparently when a company denies your existence, then Angie?s List will take that as the gospel truth leaving someone like me to go back to resolving this on my own.

The mini-drama at the end was that on July 2, 2013, it did not look like Zach was going to come out after all as he called to say he was hung up on an emergency electrical issue in Beverly Hills (about 40 miles away). However, he did finally send another person called Jesse to complete the work.

It went well. They did it quickly and they were polite as they came and went. They also cleaned up after themselves.

I was happy with the work and professionalism of All Star Construction and would not hesitate to use them again.
