Professional Contracting

They did a beautiful job!! Professional on time Great price!

They suggested improvements that are best. They performed the job as agreed to finish. Very good work crew. They thoroughly cleaned up each day. Very easy to work with I would recommend this company to anyone.

The team was easy to work with and very attentive to details. They are proud of the work they do and it shows in their craftmanship. The project did go over the estimated time frame of 45-60 days but in such a large project it was not unexpected. I feel that in an older home the "hiccups" were normal and not out of scope. At the end of the project I was happy with the outcome and am excited to enjoy my "new" house.

Outstanding! All professional contracting workmen (Tiler carpenters, plumbers, electrician painters) did quality work communication was outstanding throughout the project. Work crew showed up on time and there were never any no show dates. Through all phases, workman were very neat and clean, keeping house disruption to a minimum. Job was done on time and in budget.

bad, it went from bad to worse i would never recomend this company to anyone to me they are professional liars and professionals at taking advantage of people its all about money no integrity, no remorse no morals.

Robert Lee came to do the work. He was neat and cleaned up after himself. He encountered several problem but was very good at solving the problems being that it was as older house.

We were thrilled with the work done !!! Our original contact was with Felipe/Art and that went extremely well and our job foreman was Robert, and he was excellent. Everyone at the company was polite, responsive, and professional. I highly recommend them for any type of work - large or small.

Enrique & Robert did an excellent job with the installation and were very helpful answering my questions. Very professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely use this company again.

From preplanning to execution, my experience with Professional Contracting has been a pleasure. In preplanning, Art and Felipe took the initiative to offer suggestions on how to bring down costs but maintain quality. They followed up quickly in correspondence via text messaging and agreed to coordinate with us in areas where we could do some of the work ourselves. We did the demo, painting, trim and door staining, and backsplash installation. Our previous architect/contractor, who was from another firm and proved to be incompetent, had incorrect measurements on the plan that required constant changes. Art, Felipe and every one of their crews worked with us as we compensated for the architect’s errors. Various crews were onsite almost every day, and some worked weekends. Robert was my on-site go-to man whenever I had a concern or a perplexing challenge. I could count on him to come up with a solution, and he designed a beautiful fireplace modeled after a picture I had found in a magazine. The project did take longer than anticipated because of subcontractor delays in the late stages of construction, so there were days in that period when no crews were on site. Subcontractor delays are not an uncommon experience in the industry, but it was worth the wait. Our project, the remodeling of a 950 sq. ft. studio/RV garage into a studio involved converting the large garage and pre-existing studio space into four rooms and a bathroom; relocating the bathroom from the front to the rear of the structure; relocating the swamp cooler from the southeast to the northwest wall; moving the furnace location from the first floor to the loft; installing 11 new windows, 3 new exterior doors as well as a new furnace, all new electrical throughout, new plumbing throughout, HVAC, new tank-less water heater, new swamp cooler, cabinetry, countertops and flooring; and applying new stucco over the entire structure. Many years ago I had designed and built a house, and I have learned that with any construction project, one can expect delays, mistakes and change orders. The important consideration is whether the contractor works with the homeowner in a timely fashion to deal with any of these occurrences. Professional Contracting did. If I requested a change or noticed something was not quite right, the response from any crewmember was always “no problem,” and the correction was made. To avoid some of these possibilities, I would suggest sending Art and Felipe lists of what is important for some of the subcontractors to know, for example a vessel sink in the bathroom or accessories inside cabinets or appliances to be used on a circuit. My son and his wife were also impressed with Professional Contracting and hired their cabinetmaker to design and build a large entertainment center encompassing one wall in their living room. They, too, are very pleased with the final product. I have no hesitation saying that Professional Contracting is a five-star company.

Felipe Silva and The Professional Contracting team did an amazing job building us a brand new home; from demolishing of our old house on the same property, helping us design our home, then building our wonderful up-to-date HOME. Every work crew that worked on our home was friendly, professional, and provided TOP NOTCH service! Our project was not their everyday project/build there were some bumps in the road, but in the end they did a FABULOUS job! We're forever thankful for their patience and dedication to building us a safe and beautiful home. A million thanks and praise, from Mr. & Mrs. Santillan.

Felipe Silva and his team at Professional Contracting did an amazing job building us a brand new home (2800 sq ft.) on our property. They demolished our old home (1200 sg. ft.) that was over 70 years old and in disarray. Our project was not their everyday project/build so there were some bumps in the road, but in the end they did a FABULOUS job on time! My husband and I are truly thankful for their patience and dedication to building us a safe and beautiful home. A million thanks and praise!

Came to my house to look at floor and countertop to make sure he picked the right tile for backsplash. They choose the tile and came to do the job as soon as tile was in.

Guys were great. Very professional and on time. Always answered my questions or tried it my way. Will continue to use these guys for other prompts and will refer to others will have BBQ jus for them.

Professional crew and owners. Friendly and easy to talk to. Beautiful craftsmanship and honest crew. Loving everything they did.

I'll keep coming back when I need a job well done.

From the estimate to completion all segments of the reno were completed by professionals who were on time and all work details were checked by the owners daily.

Like a dream. The workers were friendly, clean, prompt, and thorough. Their work was excellent and the owners often checked up on their work.

Excellent - worked very hard to please.

The men who came to replace the roof were courteous and cheerful. They were exact in their roofing and cleaned up perfectly afterwards. They also repaired a part of my gutter just to be helpful.

Plumber was friendly, knowledgeable and fast. The shower door was special ordered but I don't know why a standard door wasn't used. after waiting a week for the door, it wasn't level after installed. Finally got it right. Price was a little higher than other bids.

Art and Felipe did an excellent job helping us define what my wife and I wanted in an exterior make-over of our home. The final result is even better than we could have imagined. Professional Contracting uses a core of reliable trades people who are skilled, reliable, and courteous. We were given daily project updates, and consulted whenever decisions had to be made affecting cost or materials. Attention was given to detail, and at the end they made sure every item on the project punch list was completed to our satisfaction. We had Professional Contracting remodel two bathrooms for us 4 years ago. They didn't disappoint us then, and they provided the same great service at a fair price this time.

Great! The workers were very careful in their efforts to remove the undamaged tiles w/o cracking them. We knew this would be very difficult and they saved as many as possible. We didn't have enough tiles to replace those tiles removed, so we purchased a large medallion which they installed. The cracked tile pieces were used to fill in around the medallion. They did a wonderful job and we would definitely use them again!

Felipe started the project right away. His crews arrived on time and were always polite and respectful. They worked steadily and efficiently and always cleaned up after themselves.

As contractors, they quoted me a price on all services & materials for their hired sub-contractors. Dealing with Professional Contracting was a pleasure. They showed up on time, personally escorted each subcontractor to our home. Introduced us, made sure we were happy with the service and work completion at every step. Living in an area where quality and professional work is hard to come by, this company is refreshing and professional by definition!

Working with Art and Felipe of Professional Contracting turned out to be a huge disappointment. My mother recently moved in with me and my daughter. We decided to build an addition to the house for Mom and found Professional Contracting on Angie's List. Initially, they appeared to be very professional, service oriented, and were able to show us some nice work they had completed for other customers. Even though their quote was higher than some other contractors, we decided to work with Art and Felipe because of additional services they were set up to provide. We paid them $1,830 plus tax to provide a complete set of plans for a permit to begin building. The day they presented us with the plans and the contract for signing is when things went bad. In short (for those not wanting to read all the details) they underbid, tried to con us into about $3,000 worth of upgrades that weren't needed, and refused to work with us to make corrections to plans we already paid for. Their initial bid was $49,777 plus tax which included the cost of providing the plans and permits, as well as supplying and installing an HVAC mini split system for separate temperature control, doors, flooring, plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures and paint. By the time we made our decision who to hire, we changed the floor plan and decided to not have the HVAC mini split system. One of the main reasons for changing the floor plan was to eliminate having to completely break through the exterior walls for two bedrooms and having to rebuild the ceiling beams so they wouldn't show. In the final floor plan, the walls stay intact. In the back bedroom one window is relocated, and in the middle bedroom one window is enclosed and only a door is cut into the wall. I have included copies of the floor plans I provided to Art and Felipe. The blueprints Art and Felipe presented to us came with their ideas of where and what type of electrical fixtures we would have. We had them change the recessed lighting to dome lighting which reduced the number of fixtures needed. We also had them add some electrical outlets for user convenience. Then we looked at the pricing on their contract. With the changes made from the initial floor plan to the final floor plan, I had hoped the price would decrease some especially since we no longer wanted the HVAC mini split system which is worth about $3,000. I was quite surprised when they came back with a price of $55,755 plus tax which is almost $6000 more than their initial bid. This price included $2,200 to upgrade the electrical panel and $850 to upgrade the water heater. Felipe told me that the current setup was insufficient and illegal. We currently have 150 amps with a sub panel to handle the central air installed in 2008. Believing Felipe, we agreed that the electrical panel needed to be upgraded. We did, however, decline the upgrade to the water heater. Our water heater is fairly new and there was absolutely no reason to upgrade were increasing the square footage, not the demand for hot water. We asked Art and Felipe to make the changes we discussed on the blueprints and to give us time to look over the contract as we were having a difficult time reconciling the price to their initial bid. We also discussed doing the painting ourselves as they were charging $1,537.50 to do it. The following day I emailed Art asking him to take another look at their pricing and to check the square footage they were charging for because I noticed a discrepancy in my figures vs. their figures. A new contract was emailed to me with a note that. All previous estimates are now null and void. The new contract price was $52,152 plus tax. This contract, however, did not include the $1,830 for the plans, $1,537.50 for painting that we would now do, and about $2,000 worth of allowances for electrical fixtures, plumbing fixtures, door hardware, and bathroom accessories. The contract now stated that those items are to be provided by the homeowner. So really, when you do the math, the new contract was for about $57,520. It seemed pretty obvious that the relationship with Art and Felipe had become contemptuous so our dealings with them ended at providing the blueprints. However, the story doesn't end there. We took the blueprints to the city for review. While there, I spoke with an inspector and asked him about the situation with our electrical panel that Felipe told me was insufficient and illegal. He told me that 150 amps is more than sufficient for my house and there is absolutely nothing wrong with running a sub panel off of the main panel as long as it has the proper grounding. Mom and I were really disgusted to learn that Art and Felipe almost talked us into spending another $2,200 to upgrade an electrical panel that is apparently sufficient the way it is. The following week, the city called to let me know that corrections were needed on the blueprints. I called both the office phone and Art's cell phone only to get their voice mail. I sent Art an email. Neither Art nor Felipe responded to my email. We did pay them $1,830 for a complete set of plans, so it was their responsibility to have any errors on the plans corrected and provide us with corrected copies. As it turned out, I had to call the architect directly that they contracted with to make the corrections to the plans. He was helpful and did what needed to be done, but I never did hear a word from Art or Felipe. Since there haven't been any confrontations or accusations up to this point, I can only assume that they didn't answer my call or respond to my email because they knew I had realized by now that they had wronged us. The good news to all of this is that we now have a contract signed for $42,390 with a new contractor. Although this price doesn't include the blueprints, it does include re-stuccoing the entire house which is valued between $4,500 - $5,000. From the work we've seen of our new contractor and the fact he's held his license since 2008, I?m confident we will be more than happy with his work here. He's not on Angie's List yet, but definitely will be after completing our project. As for Professional Contracting, I'd advise people to look elsewhere. Reply to provider response -- I did not write this review to hurt the company but to inform Angie's List members. Everything I wrote is a true and accurate account of what happened. The multiple changes the provider claims are all listed in my review. I changed the floor plan. The changes on the blueprints had to be done because of the assumptions made by the company. It is true that Art and Felipe were very accommodating when helping me and my Mom pick out products from their store, and they were also helpful in fine tuning measurements for the final floor plan. In fact, people who have big budgets and can afford to pay for things they don't need would probably be just fine working with this company. I did give this company a B for Quality. Of the work they showed us, only one room was really bad showing every seam in the ceiling. The rest of their work looked pretty good. I would have given them an A for punctuality if I had received a call or return email when corrections to the blueprints were required by the city. Angie's List members can see my track record of reviews. This is only the 2nd company I have given a negative review.
