The Carpenter's Son Construction, Inc.

If I could give 0 starts I would. I am sure the 14 good reviews are from people who were paid to leave a review or friends and family. I work for a property Management Company and we recently hired this company to do some waterproofing work at one of our properties. This company was referred to us by one of our Managers who has also had a bad experience with them and stated she is sorry she referred them to us. The Board approved their proposal because it was the lowest bid. This company is the perfect example of you get what you pay for. Caroline Concepcion bugged and bugged about receiving a $300.00 deposit then disappeared once the deposit was made. I had to chase her down for over 3 months to get them to do any work. Each time she claimed a contractor stopped by the property to check the planter and it was wet and they don't work with wet dirt, mind you this was never stated in their proposal nor was I made aware until I complained to her about the lack of attention to this matter. I had landscapers turn off irrigation and she continued to state that her guys went out and dirt was still wet. The property is about a block from the Beach so precipitation close to the beach is always high, hence why dirt will most likely be wet. Caroline has failed to communicate with us within a timely manner, fails to return emails and phone calls and always has an excuse. The Board of Directors decided to cancel the work with this company and I have been trying to get their deposit back for 3 weeks now and she has yet to return my call or answer my emails. THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. DO NOT PAY A DEPOSIT AS THEY WILL JUST TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NOT COMPLETE THE WORK.

We have been dealing with Rob, who has been excellent at keeping us updated on the efforts to obtain city permits. The work hasn't started due to the usual LA city delays, but have heard nothing but good reports and don't expect anything less than excellent service.

Rick comes off as honest and experienced and he may well be. Unfortunately, a lot of the subcontractors and their employees are not. We had quite a few different projects done. Like a bathroom remodel that was completely done wrong the first time and had to be completely torn out and redone. A stucco job that required the contractor to come back at least 4 times and still looks bad. Rick the owner said to me when they were done that there is a lot of problems but I do not want to point them out. This was from his mouth. The only subcontractor that did a great job was the painter. Doors that were installed and had to be redone because they were wrong. I would never recommend this company to my worst enemy. By the way Rick, I sent you a text about how my wife and I feel about the stucco job and you did not even return my text or call me. Be warned people, just because someone talks a good game does not mean they know what they are doing.

I'm beyond happy with the work we had done with Rick, Carlos, and their crew. They did such an amazing job, exactly what we asked for. We had a sagging ceiling in the garage, and now with the new amazing support system I know our garage is safe and sound. It was hard to find someone who would deal with this problem of ours. From my experience with Carpenter's Son Construction, they will be able handle any job you put in front of them. We will definitely be calling them for all future projects, and would highly recommend them to anyone that needs a great contractor.

Rick and Carlos are great to work with! They explain everything thoroughly and always made sure to ask if I had any questions. Rick provides everything in writing and is so transparent about the whole process that I recommend him based on the trust factor alone. I had two bathrooms remodeled in my condo and they both turned out beautifully. Carlos is a perfectionist and incredibly knowledgeable in his craft which is what one can only DREAM of when looking for QUALITY contractors. Iâ m ecstatic with the finished product and highly recommend them.

Rick and his crew did a fantastic job on our bathroom remodel. They were always on time and very conscientious. The bathroom turned out better than I could of imagined and we can't wait to have them back for our next project. Of course, no project goes on without a few unexpected changes. When it did, Rick's expertise made us feel confident with each decision. They are one of the best construction crews we have worked with.

Rick is an a nice, genuine guy who does excellent work. I know a lot of people may say this, but as a licensed Architect who has worked with a lot of contractors - I can say he is not only a trustworthy guy, but that you will not be disappointed with the work quality you receive! 5 stars all the way!

Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Has a great crew and can handle a large variety of jobs. All the work they have done for me (kitchen remodel,flooring, etc) was done on time and within budget and looks fantastic. Rick is at the top of my list for all future work.

Most friendliness crew of people to work with very accommodating and understanding explain everything in detail easy to understand

Rick is an excellent contractor to work with. He remodeled our bathrooms, and we hired him again to remodel our living room. He is very responsive with great communication skills. He closely manages his subcontractors and kept the project on its timeline. Highly recommended Rick and will work with him again in the future.

I had Rick and his crew gut and rebuild two of my bathrooms, the master and a half bath. The job came out spectacularly. Rick was communicative and responded quickly to my inquiries. He had updated me with each milestone and made sure that the job was done to my (and his) liking, if something was not done to his standard, he had his guys rework it. The entire team was clean and did their best to make sure they kept my house as clean as they could - given the amount of dust generated by construction, this is not small feat. Rick was a great sounding board for my ideas and he even went as far as to suggest some design ideas I hadnâ t thought of. At the end of the project the main concern is that the work was done completely and properly. For my situation, this is absolutely true. For example, when the tiling in the shower was being measured for the glass enclosure, the walls were off by only 1/16 of an inch between the top and bottom! Most jobs can easily be 1/2 inch or more but Rick made sure the tiling was done to his exacting specifications which made the shower enclosure easier (and cheaper) to cut. I have more projects to do in my house and Rick will be back to complete them for me.

Rick was wonderful to work with. Always responsive to any questions, always on time, returned calls promptly. Couldn't have asked for anything more in terms of quality of work and quality individual to work with.. I'm already planning my next project for him to work on.

Rick did a great job explaining the various steps to the project. His workers were professional and careful about confining the mess to the immediate area. I would definitely recommend him and hire his company again. I have already given his number to others.

Reliable, personable and does good work.

Great

Recommended- a real gem to work with.
