"When we hired District Developers to paint the interior of our home 2 years ago, they were wonderful. Evelyn and Cristian Figueroa, the owners, were both on the job daily, both supervising their employees and working along with them. We hired them to paint the exterior of our home in July 2018. District Developers became very disorganized, and the 5 weeks it took to complete the job were extremely stressful and aggravating. The owners’ daily supervision of their employees had dwindled to only a couple of nonconsecutive days during the week, and only for less than an hour. When we wanted to discuss an issue with the owners, they promised to “be here the next day,” which never happened. When they did answer our questions, the explanations were often vague, and they never went into detail. Part of the job included power washing and repairing mortar/replacing any bricks on the house. They didn’t work smart re the power washing/scraping resulting in a big mess that took an extra day to clean. When repairing the chimney bricks, they caused cracks in the crown; they didn’t repair the cracks, and didn’t tell us of this issue. Heavy rains ensued after this, resulting in roof leaks. We know the leaks were not there previously, as we had our roofer repair all issues before the painting began. He also said there were absolutely no cracks in the aforesaid crown. So, now, this repair is an added expense. Another part of the job included repairing and staining the back fence. When I wanted a receipt for the new lumber for the fence repair, the owner simply said she didn’t know I wanted a receipt, didn’t have it, and “hoped I’d understand.” When they repaired/replaced any rotten lumber (which was done by the owner), he simply dropped the old nails all over the back driveway. This was discovered when another contractor tried to park his truck in the driveway. This caused more work having to clean up their mess, and hopefully, no one’s tire picked up a nail. After they started the job, we learned that they mislead us, and had subcontracted the job out to another painter. And, they gave the subcontractor little direction as to what we had discussed in the original contract. This company also offers a cleaning service, which we used for the last couple of years. Up until this summer, it worked out well. But, in July, it all fell apart. The owners left their 20 y/o and 15 y/o, alone and unsupervised in our home to clean. Our contractor was working in the house, and observed them eating/drinking soda in every room while cleaning. They were on their phones constantly. Their owner mother (who claimed she was here cleaning, but wasn’t), returned once during the afternoon to bring them lunch, then left. They were in our house for over 6 hours, and not every room was cleaned. We were beyond aggravated. Needless to say, we asked for our key, and will be looking for a new cleaning service. Do not employ District Developers. They are unprofessional and disorganized, and will leave you aggravated."

"oor communication, Unorganized, Unprofessional, Has a hard time with words, Arrogant, Insults customers. Took them a long time to get a quote and each time they said they sent it, it was missing the quote attachment. Finally got their quote to trim trees and I authorized the work. I didn’t get a response to authorizing the work, so after 5 days I emailed Nina the office manager and asked "Wanted to confirm that we are on the schedule?" to which she responded "Yes! We currently are tentatively scheduled for around April 15th. Once we get closer we can nail down a more definite date." Later we discovered they made an error and scheduled my work before I had made their required deposit. They didnt tell me about the deposit until the week the work was to be performed. I agreed to go ahead and make the deposit, but Adam was upset that I complained I was never told and decided to cancel my job and make me wait another month. Adam insulted me by telling me I needed to learn to read because the deposit requirement was shown at the bottom of the near year old quote. If it was a requirement, they should not have scheduled my work until it was paid. He denied it was scheduled, so I showed him proof - emails above. Adam continued the insults by responding with a dictionary pronunciation AND definition of the word "tentatively" claiming they did not schedule me because "Tentatively" applied to waiting to receive the required deposit and signed estimate. Regardless, Adam should learn that belittling customers doesn’t work and Tentative referred to the "date of service", not to whether or not we are on the "schedule". I will never use him for any of my properties."
