Smart, friendly, easy-going and businesslike. He measured and calculated the square footage of areas to be painted where others who had bid had just guessed.
Cons: He promised to start on Thursday May 22 then put it off for five days (had another job to finish, graduation and funeral to attend, weekend and Memorial Day) By the way, he promised to start on the holiday but then it turned out that he forgot it was a holiday and I only learned that when I called to find out where they were after getting up at the crack of dawn to prepare for them coming. When they finally did arrive on Tuesday it was almost an hour late. He said that he wanted money up front for paint and materials (I explained that I could not do that based on past experiences but would have what he needed on hand. He agreed to that.) Presented a three page contract on the day he began. Since his contract was something like 25 points long I read through it as quickly as I could but thinking, well, if someone wants me to sign something I am going to make sure I understand it. As we started going through the contract, and, in response to his saying that during the work period if things were not going as I liked he would pull off the job and simply charge me for the time worked, I told him that if that was the case I would need to log hours worked by his workers and I also asked him what his charge rate was for his workers. He said $35 an hour and that this rate applied to his inexperienced son who had just graduated high school as well as for the skilled worker who was there to patch the drywall. When I asked how that could be he told me it was due to the cost of workers? compensation. In response to my questions I got a big lecture on how he is trustworthy and trusts people himself, does not base anything on previous negative experiences, got angry and quit. So, I was supposed to love having a big contract shoved at me to sign but he didn?t like having to answer any questions it raised. Businesslike? Nope. I am just glad he showed his true self before we got in any deeper! If you want to hire this guy just be ready to hand over money and not ask any questions. Just trust him.

From the start, he was professional, accommodating, good-natured, caring and clearly very experienced. He gave me a very fair flat rate, and I really appreciated the ease of that approach as opposed to bargaining over numbers of boxes and pieces of furniture. He promised 3 movers on the day of the move and provided 4. He promised to be there at 9 on moving day and he was there early (after a call to let me know he was on his way) to get things started. He and his movers were constantly checking in with me to make sure everything was going the way I wanted it to go. His movers were also professional, flexible, experienced, and good- natured despite having to drive up Highway 5 in terrible Thanksgiving holiday traffic. They were scheduled to unload the next morning at 8, and they were at my door at 7:50, ready to begin. All of my belongings arrived in perfect shape. Don provided a lot more than he promised without even mentioning it. For example, although we agreed that I'd pack everything except the kitchen, they ended up doing a lot more packing than we bargained for in that flat rate, yet Don didn't say a word about it. Somehow they made the move stress-free and even fun. I've never written any kind of on-line review before, but I decided to write this one because online reviews were so helpful to me in weeding out questionable movers and finding and trusting STS. I will definitely hire them again for my next move.

Mr. Hooks was given a deposit of $1,000 after which he requested an additional $10K cover his scaffolding cost of $5,500. We trusted that Mr. Hooks had costs to cover and we paid him an additional $5,000. His crew spent less than half a day opening up a few sections of our eastern wall when they discovered that additional shear wall was required to move forward. Mr. Hooks required the services of an engineer to draw up measurements and plans so we put him in touch with a qualified engineer who'd drew up plans for retrofit work 2 years prior with Alameda Structural. After providing him with the plans and contact information we continued to ask for but never received guidance on next steps, estimates and itemized change orders. Mr. Hooks and our engineer had an unreasonably difficult time connecting over the holidays. We had attempted several times to connect Mr. Hooks with our engineer however there seemed to be very little initial motivation on Mr. Hook's part to make this happen. Instead my wife was instructed by Mr. Hooks to spend several days coordinating everything from translating measurements and relaying messages to physically getting wet stamps. Unfortunately nothing we did provided Mr. Hook's with enough information to move forward. This impasse continued for 2 months and on 1/6/2012 we received a letter from his lawyer claiming the following: - We were withholding information - IN FACT we had been trying for 2 months to coordinate information. - We were trying to use outdated plans from 2009 - IN FACT these were the same 2009 plans that Mr. Hooks reviewed, retained, and then sent his subordinate to bring back to us to get wet stamped we met with the engineer per Mr. Hooks instructions- We were in default and that was unlikely that we would resolve within the given 2 weeks so best to surrender to contract termination - IN FACT we have phone records and emails that reflect proactive attempts on our part to resolve these issues with Mr. Hooks. After we received the unexpected lawyer's letter we immediately reached Mr. Hooks on the phone trying to figure out what to do next. He claimed he was committed to meeting with our engineer, doing some research on the changes in plan specs and providing us with information about the scaffolding company. We followed up with him daily until his voicemail was full, but was never able to reach him. Mr. Hooks did not return a single one of our phone calls, voicemails or emails. Since the scaffolding costs represented the bulk of the money spent we decided to investigate further, so we had an inspector come by who cited several OSHA violations. We were promised proof that the scaffolding company used was licensed, bonded and insured, but never received a response. This led us to believe that sub-standard sub-contractors were used to cut costs and increase margins for Mr. Hooks. This was confirmed when a crew came out to remove the scaffolding and we questioned the foreman Mark Young who claimed he was the owner of Celtic Scaffolding and was originally invoiced $4,500, not $5,500 as Mr. Hooks had claimed. We later contacted Celtic Scaffolding who confirmed they never having heard of us, our property, and that Mark Young was NOT an employee, but in fact worked for his competitor with Rankin Scaffolding which we confirmed was not licensed with the state. As soon as this job strayed from its original scope, Mr. Hooks did not show the type of competence required of a skilled and professional contractor to help us through this. He continued to change his story about what was needed, how to proceed and made misleading and untrue statements. In the end: - No work was done. - Questionable, unprofessional and unsafe practices were used.- Remnants of demolition were left on site* In an effort to ''patch'' up sections of the wall that were taken down, damage was done to the interior.- We'd paid out $6000 Mr. Hooks provided no value and no progress towards improvement and actually left the property in worse condition than before he started - exterior clean up and internal repairs were immediately required to return our property to its original level of safety. Finally, we submitted a complaint to the CSLB, upon which Mr. Hooks stated to the public that this complaint had been quickly dismissed. This turned out to be 100% untrue and as of the date of this posting the complaint is STILL OPEN and under review.

Holiday Decorating reviews from real Angi homeowners in Kensington, CA
It could not have gone worse. After they were "done," I learned their license had been suspended 3 weeks earlier and the Better Business Bureau had kicked them out. They left my house AND BACKYARD looking like a tornado had struck it. I was assigned 4 guys, but only 1 worked--the lead. I told...

A friend recommended AP Cleaning Service after we'd had bad experiences with other services. The crew shows up on time every week and my house is clean when they are finished. It's almost always the same group of 4 women who come, which I like. We've had to change the service day once or...
