General Contractor reviews in Escondido, California

Poor quality work, high prices and never finishes anything he starts. I don't recommended to anyone.

Grant (the owner) is incredibly rude and his crew does terrible work. He knew and acknowledged that I rent my place and that he should speak to the property manager to discuss redoing the large job that his crew did poorly, but he called me anyway to see if I would pressure the property manager to choose an easier alternative for him.

I told him that if she did decide to go that route I would prefer that he send a different team. That devolved into a nasty, unprofessional conversation, during which he suggested that if I didn’t want urine and pubic hair on my toilet at the end of the day he’d just put a “porta-loo” outside my front door. He wondered why I cared that they knocked over my garden wall since he came back and put it back together again 2 days later. He couldn’t seem to defend the blasting mariachi music, but said I’m the only one who’s ever been disturbed by it. Then he dismissed all of my concerns as being “quarantine stress”. When I asked for the name of his company (no one has disclosed that to me at that point because HOA was handling the matter) so I could write a review, he refused to tell me and said, “No one reads that anyway.” Fortunately I was able to track it down.

My home reconstruction which was damaged over a month ago from a flood has now been set back several days at the least while someone else comes in to tear out their work and start over. Steer clear of Coastline Construction!

Really impressed. They were on time, professional and have very high quality work. The crew was always on time, they had a plan, they executed to the plan efficiently, they had all the materials handy, they cleaned up after themselves every day and were very respectful to the people in my home and my neighborhood. The job was quite big but it was accomplished very fast with minimal disruption to our household.

Note: I was getting external woodwork and structural repair done. I had super bad termite and dry rot damage.

Unfortunately we hired this company to do some work for us and what a HUGE mistake that was! NEVER again!
Grant (the owner) marks up the prices for the materials quite a bit, we found out later. He drops off 2 workers and takes off, leaving them unsupervised. Their work is subpar. They're SLOPPY and in a HURRY to finish and get the hell out. One of his workers (the thin one) I think is name is Sergio, is one of the RUDEST and most UNFRIENDLY people we ever met! We would NOT recommend them to our worst enemy!

* Update: Our response to owner's reply:

No, we were NOT happy at time of final completion, we were rushed on final walk around of job, but luckily we still managed to point out some things that needed to be re-done and only paid to avoid being sued. Didn't want to deal with them anymore. Headache!
Plus some of the work (install new sidings) was paid by our HOA (which we asked them not to EVER use this co. again!). When they came back to install the balcony siding panels, they RUINED the newly painted balcony floor and we needed to repaint it. Unacceptable!
If the owner thinks his employees have the ability to work unsupervised, he is sadly mistaken, they don't. He needs to hire more competent and careful workers. Save yourself the headache and STAY AWAY from this company.

Grant and his team repaired the siding on my house plus some dry rot areas. They were on time, very friendly and were very neat. Price for the project was very fair too. Not only that, Grant noticed other siding boards in need of repair and replaced and painted them at no extra cost. I highly recommend Coastline Construction!

Palacios Renovations came in with a reasonable competitive bid. They kept a clean and organized work environment and finished ahead of schedule doing a great job. Because of this, I asked them to bid on a second job on my mother's home. Once again they came in with a competitive bid (not the lowest) but used higher quality materials, finished before promised, and kept an organized, clean work environment. They returned a day later with a final part and installed it. We would have never known had they skipped that part, as it was unseen to us. They let us know ahead what they were going to do. Nothing hidden. All up front.

On a final project that another contractor was going to handle, but avoided, they stepped up and once again came in on time and on budget.

My brother, a professional electrical contractor of 40 years, was so impressed with Palacios Renovations, that he asked them to bid a job on a unique La Jolla residence. They came as scheduled, evaluated the job, and let him know it was out of their field of expertise. We both appreciated their honesty and commitment to quality.

I intend to ask them to come bid 2 projects on my own home and fully expect they will be in the running for the jobs.

I rarely write reviews, but am happy to lend my backing to this organization for the quality and timely work they have done for us.

Thank you so much to Joel and Esteban (and crew)for fixing our granite counter tops after countless issues with the previous installers! We highly recommendthem for your remodeling needs!

Palacios Renovations responded quickly to our request for a quote to paint the exterior of our house and replace our front yard fence and two gates. We accepted the proposal from Ruben. The work began and ended in the originally quoted two weeks. The work and the workers were fantastic. We had 5 dogs in the house for most of the time the work was being done and the workers couldn't have been nicer about our need to have either the front or back yard accessible for the dogs' potty needs. The company is super flexible and seemed to be willing to work with us. Ruben was in constant communication and did a final walk through. I wouldn't hesitate to use Palacios Renovations for any future home renovation needs. I feel like they are 100% trustworthy. I highly recommend them.

I have seen Mr. Palacios do all kinds of different construction, wood work, flooring and bathrooms. He stated that he loves doing bathroom tile etc. After knowing him for years, I asked him to redo my bathroom. His workmanship is excellent and he is a very positive personality. I would recommend Mr. Palacios for any kind of work!

I have worked with Ramon Palacios Renovations for 20 years. He has completely renovated my Mother's home from the studs and concrete to a beautifully finished home. He built a gorgeous ADU for us. He has done every kind of renovation work on 5 other properties in my family from complete gut to the smallest repairs. He recently installed a new wall of cabinets in my kitchen to match the ones from 20 years ago! He will work with you on any type of project. His floor guys are the best! His painters are careful and precise. Tile work is always impeccable. Easy to work with. Works hard to make you happy with your project.
