The kitchen looked great when he was finished, but within a month the paint was chipping and peeling off of four different cabinet doors on the kitchen island. Patrick came out and told me that the paint was chipping because water had dripped onto the top of the cabinet doors from the bullnose edge of the granite countertop. He said that he would do me a favor and repaint the chipped doors, which he did. Since then I have been extremely careful to check the cabinet doors for water drips after I wash dishes or clean the countertops. Despite my best efforts, the chipping occurred again, and it is very unsightly. (See photos.) In addition, doors and drawer faces all over the kitchen have been chipping as well, even though they are nowhere near any possible source of water. We discussed with Patrick the possibility of repainting the cabinets under the sink with a different kind of paint that would not chip off if it came into contact with water drips. Although it would be a different finish than the rest of the cabinets, we felt it was the only solution to keep this problem from recurring. He agreed to try this, and he came out today to remove the chipped doors and take them back to his shop. I showed him all of the other doors and drawers that have begun to chip as well, and when I told them we felt that it was not unreasonable to expect that 6 month old cabinets should not be chipping like this, he became angry and belligerent. He told me that it was my fault, and that I must be doing something to the cabinets, because the paint "just wouldn't jump off the doors by itself." He refused to take the doors that he came for back to his shop, and stormed out of my house. I expect that any reputable businessperson should stand by their work, and I am very disappointed that Patrick refuses to do this.
*UPDATE* April 6, 2015
It has been 4 months since my initial review, and now the paint on nearly all 50 of the recessed panel cabinet doors is deteriorating. In the joints where the recessed panel meets the frame of the door, hairline cracks began to appear, with some small chips. I pointed out a few of the doors with this problem to Pat when he was out here in December. As time passed, the cracks deepened and then the paint began to chip/peel off, exposing the raw wood beneath. (See photos) I have had 3 different painters, all of whom specialize in cabinetry, come out to look at the cabinets. They all told me the same thing--it appears that the doors were not properly primed before painting, which created an adhesion problem between the primer and the substrate. The end result is the paint cracks and peels or chips off. They told me that many different things could have caused this problem. It could have been that Pat didn't let the primer cure properly before putting on the top coat, or that he didn't sand properly between coats, or that he used the wrong grit of sandpaper. There could have been excess dust left in the recessed areas, or the wrong type of caulking was used, or a combination of any of these things.
The bottom line is that this problem cannot be fixed. The cabinets need to be totally stripped and properly refinished, or I need to buy all new ones and start over from scratch. They warned me that the cost of stripping this many cabinets would be prohibitive, and that it will be be less expensive to just purchase all new doors and begin again.
All three painters were quite surprised when I told them that Pat refused to take responsibility for the problems with the finish, and that he would not do anything more to make it right. They said that when there are problems with any of their jobs, they do whatever it takes to remedy the issue., and that this is the expectation with any reputable painter.
Using Pat's Custom Cabinetry has unfortunately turned out to be a very expensive mistake. My advice to anyone hiring a painter is to ask for references from past clients whose job was done several years before, and then go look at their cabinets and see how they are holding up.
This is a complete start to finish company. Everyone involved was also friendly, professional and respectful of us. The Company was easy to work with and accomplished the initial plan and a number of additions by us within a reasonable time frame and their internal timeline. There were people working on our project everyday until the job was done.
We were referred to the Company and after checking out the reviews here and elsewhere, we all met with Richard (an owner) and Jesse (designer) on site to discuss our desires and dreams. After meeting with us, they went back to the think tank and developed a overall design plan using software that allowed for an incredible visual complete with our dog and the two of us in the spa. Back at their office we later reviewed the design and the detailed cost proposal. We had a general idea of what some of the major additions would cost so our sticker shock was not life threatening. You usually get what you pay for and this company did not disappoint us.
Throughout the project I would meet with Leo each morning to make sure I knew what was going on and to express any concerns that I had. Leo was very polite and understanding of what I am sure are very common questions and concerns of homeowners. Like I explained, they do this all the time but for the homeowner this is a one time deal so you want to make sure that you address the issue before the execution because some things are irreversible. For those days the construction of enhancing the patio support beams and building the spa "patio" roof, I would also talk with Blake who was also informative and polite.
Besides these daily journeys into the world of construction, each week Richard, Bridget, Jesse and Eliel would meet with us at our house for a progress meeting and go over any concerns we had and equally important listen to the additional things that we would like to have done. Our questions and concerns were answered quickly in person, by phone, text or email.
There is quite a bit of natural stone in our oasis and it was amazing to watch the craftsman cut and chip and grout slabs of stone into such a masterpiece. Eliel and Leo were absolute gems to work throughout the construction process to give us the oasis we have today. Each night the crew would clean and put away all their tools and materials as orderly as possible.
Overall we are very pleased with the entire construction process and the visual outcome and would highly recommend this company to people who want a high quality job understanding that quality requires a fair price. None of us work for free and quality design, construction and installation is no different.
Thank you to California Smartscape and especially everyone who worked on our project!

Now the details. I identified Henry's Professional Painting on Angie's List as a highly rated painting contractor and gave them a call. Within a few hours I received a return call from Henry and we set up a date and time for him to take a look at the work that I needed. Henry arrived precisely on time and I was quickly impressed with his professional approach and demeanor. Following his visit to my house he mailed and emailed an estimate for the work. Along with Henry's offer I also got several other estimates which were comparable in price. But because of Henry's high rating and my impression of Henry I decided to ask him to do the work. The first order of business was to power wash the patio covers to remove the peeling paint. Henry sent a wonderful employee and person to do the work. The gentleman arrived at the planned time and began his work. He was expert at his job and very respectful of protecting the adjacent areas from the flying chips of paint. The painters arrived two days later in order to give the wood ample time to dry. Henry's team of himself and three painters again arrived at the exact time that Henry said they would. They then spent several hours preparing the areas to be painted and repaired. The inside repairs were done with impressive results. The work involved cleaning the damaged area, then taping the dry wall ceiling, applying joint compound, sanding, adding texture and then repainting. The trick in doing this was to match the color of the surrounding ceiling. Henry did this himself with excellent results. The finished job is outstanding! While this work was proceeding two of the other workers were preparing the patio covers for painting. All adjacent areas were protected with painters cloth and taping. They then went to work searching for and removing any remaining peeling paint, then applying a protective primer to the patio covers. They then spray and hand painted the patio covers with two coats of paint. The results were again superb. Following the painting, the workers cleaned the area a final time and replaced all of the furniture and plants in their original locations. Again, I can't say how impressed I was with Henry and his team, including Annie who expertly coordinated everything from their office. They also did not accept payment until I was completely satisfied with their work. Amazing professionals!

When he was finished, he gathered his used paint brushes and other equipment and said he would take them home for the cleanup. He finished ahead of the time schedule set for himself so he painted other areas like doors and trim in other areas of my home.

After we selected Frontier, they began work on the project within a few days (as promised with their estimate). On the first day, Jose Jr. and his crew arrived at the scheduled time, and installed all posts effectively and efficiently. At the end of the day, Jose alerted us to some trees and other brush that would need to be removed in order for them to install the fence. After allowing one (scheduled) day for the concrete posts to set (and giving us time to clear the brush), Jose Jr. and his crew returned and completed the job. When we added a minor change to the job, Frontier was able to accommodate the change, and Jose Jr. was able to take care of it. Jose and his crew were quick and very professional at all times.

Very nice and responsive. Good price left our yard spotless after all the trimming. Did a very nice job on Olive tree that hadn't been trimmed professionally in 20 years and 5 25 foot palms. Even the ugly bottle brush tree much nicer. We can't believe how much nicer our property looks.

FAQs for brush chipping projects in Rancho Santa Fe, CA
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.
