All reviews for Precision General Contracting

We had only planned on spending 8 to 12,000 dollars to get our house painted. We painted our entire house 22 years ago our selves for less than 1000 dollars. We spoke to the Precision Contracting representative named Bob at the Del Mar Fair in June. He said that for our 1600 sq foot house we would probably pay around 10,000 dollars for a Tex Kote paint job which was right in our price range, so we signed up for a consultation. When Tony showed up a few weeks later to give us a quote, he told us that it would be $23,000. We were shocked! I asked him if they didn't do the back patio cover, what would it cost. After going back and forth he finally said they could do it for $18,000. They finally started the paint job in August. After trenching, pressure-washing and covering the doors, windows, and shrubs, the painter applied the primer. The brochure says that a thick coat of Coolwall Primer is applied and inspected for proper thickness. When the painter was finished priming we noticed areas that seemed too thin because you could still see the paint underneath. When we pointed this out, he said that it was fine so we contacted a supervisor to come over and check his work, which we shouldn't have had to. The supervisor told him to add more primer. The painter worked alone for most of the job and only had a helper the last 2 days of the project. No one came to check his work unless we contacted them first, which we needed to do no less than 8 times. Even the last day of touch-up we asked someone to come and look at the many areas that still needed to be fixed. He asked us to walk around and point out the places that needed touch-up. We should NOT have had to do that. Those areas should be noticed and fixed by the painter automatically. They are the supposed professionals, not us. After a couple weeks I began putting the rain gutter down-spouts back up. I barely touched the trim with the metal pipes and paint was knocked off down to the primer. This happened in two different places. The same thing happened when I bumped the corner of the garage trim with a plastic trash can. This was very disappointing since the TEX-KOTE is advertised to last 50 years.
Overall we were disappointed with the job. We believe it was overpriced by $3000 or more. The job should have been supervised and more than one painter should have been used for the entire project. We recommend getting several different quotes before deciding on Precision General Contracting.

What an awful experience we had with Precision. They were tasked with redoing the siding and updating the patios/balconies in our four story townhomes. The project started in September 2024 and was supposed to end by January 2025, that was not the case. All these units are owned by lovely tenants and the unit I lived in was owned by a good friend and I lived there for years but felt zero respect from their team.

I ended up moving across country end of March 2025 and the project still was not done. I called/emailed/left messages with Erics assistant to make sure no workers were on the property a few days up until my move, and I guess that was too hard to do. I tried to tell them to be done for the day and the workers were very rude. I never felt more disrespected especially for a project that was supposed to be done four months prior.

Thats not all though, when they went to paint the siding, they sealed all the windows and doors (even locked us in our home when we had to leave the house). This is not a biggie to have windows sealed for a few days which is what they said but it ended up being a MONTH! I spoke to Eric directly asking if his team can remove the seals after 2 weeks of them up and he said I can go ahead and do it myself. Our townhome is THREE stories high. What an absolute joke. So I removed the seals from the first floor, grabbed some of their tools and ladders to get the seal off from my air conditioner on the third floor so I can use my A/C, which could have been a liability on them if anything happened.

I spoke to our HOA and the workers and Eric saying that all the seals need to be redone anyways since it rained a few days in that month and that of course didn’t happen either.

Anyways, not even done yet. The workers destroyed our property every day they came to the house. (I will say the workers the first couple months of the project were lovely but apparently they were going too slow so they kicked them off the project - but the house at least looked nice from September to November). But anyways these new workers left soda cans all over the property, killed all our plants, broke all our signs, left debris all over the place, broke our gate (I don’t know how many packages got stolen once this happened but I felt like every other package I got I had to report as missing), and more. They also were disrespectful knowing I worked from home and would blast their music by my third story window where I would have to ask them over and over again to stop.

Also, I likely leave my house one time a day at different hours when I work from home and 75% of the time when I left no one was working, I would see them watching videos on the phone and their excuse always was oh its my lunch break. So apparently they had lunch at 10am and 3pm and all hours around then. No wonder why the project was already four months over when I moved out. I could not get out of that house quicker.

All in all. If you want respect and good work, this is not the company. They are very flashy and can make sales but once they get your money they will do as they please.

Worthless waste of time!

Don’t be fooled by the fancy website and claims of hundreds of 5-star reviews from satisfied customers. These guys are totally unprofessional and should be avoided at all costs. I am just happy that I figured out the kind of operation they are before potentially awarding them any work. My subsequent reading of their reviews on various online sites paints a further negative sentiment of this company.

I made an appointment 2 weeks in advance to have someone come out to a second home we have in Mission Bay, and quote on installing a panoramic/folding door which I was supplying. A couple of days prior to the appointment I received a call confirming the appointment and was told that an estimator would meet me at my home at 10am on the day of the appointment.

On the day of the appointment, I had to make a special trip to the property and even went out of my way to arrange parking for the estimator (parking in Mission Bay is tough at the best of times and this was also during the week of 4th of July). At 10:15am I receive a text from Anthony informing me 'I had a note to give you a call regarding a panoramic door you were looking for information about. You can reach me at xxx-xxx-xxxx' When I told him that I had a confirmed appointment for someone to be at my property to quote on an installation of a door, I was told that they were 'backed up for the day' and did not have an estimator to come to my property!! He then proceeded to make up some fake story that I requested a call when someone was actually on their way to the property, which is absolute nonsense! Why would I confirm a very SPECIFIC appointment time a couple of days earlier but also request a call when someone was on the way?

Not only did they waste half a day of my time making a special trip to the property to meet one of their estimators, but when they don’t show up, and don’t have any idea what the customer has requested the appointment for, they start making things up to weasel their way out if their commitments. I am happy I figured these guys out for what they are sooner rather than later. If you cannot show up for a confirmed appointment, that is a good indication of the quality of work a company will produce and the experience you will have as a customer.

Read their reviews on Yelp before doing business with them.

Don't use them. It's been 9 months since they started a painting and refinishing project with texcote. It is still not done to satisfaction. The workers didn't work more than three days in a row, because of other projects they were working. Project manager Dave has been ok to talk to... but essentially he's just blowing smoke and things don't get done. I withheld payment waiting for the project to be completed since there is still partially unsecure wood panels, bubbling paint, and crumbling stucco, but they said they needed the last payment to pay for supplies. Liars! It's been two months and they haven't came back.
UPDATE:
Thought progress was being made with their "warranty work", but they sent out a crew to scrape the bubbled up paint about two months ago, and completely forgot about us. Actually it is more likely they are being spiteful because of this review. They have mentioned their disapproval of the review in email.

Their salesman are pushy. They use subcontractors and cheap materials. Once you give them your money, they basically forget about you and move on. I hired them 2 years ago to install solar panels on my home. After installing the panels they left and I was unaware that they hadn't turned on my system for months until I called SDG&E and it still took several phone calls before they did. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

First of all, I regret ever going with this company. They do not do what they say they are going to do. We purchased solar panels from them in 2022. The were overpriced and took almost a year to install. I asked for them to install bird netting around so we didn’t get nests, had to call them back out to do so. Then they left a toolbag on my roof. Some time goes by and i notice that our breaker keeps tripping for the A/C. They overloaded the circuit.. Got a hold of someone who said they would be out after the recent holidays (2025). It’s not January 16th and i still have not heard back. Left a voicemail and everything. STAY AWAY from this company. they are there to sell you and then fail to do what they say. Needless to say I’m sure I will hear back after this review. Do better.

.zero stars if I could!!
I had a terrible experience with this company. It took two weeks to receive my roof certification by email, and another week before anyone even came out to take pictures.
When the tech arrived, he said I would be called within a day to schedule repairs. Two days passed with no call. After multiple attempts to call (their phone always goes to voicemail), the certificate finally arrived—but no follow-up call.
When they finally did call back, I asked to schedule the repair. The person apologized for the delay and said someone would call to set it up. Still no call and I had someone else call me within 15 minutes from another company and confirmed he’ll be back Monday to fix the roof, which he said is an easy job.
To make matters worse, Precision wanted to charge $700 for this service. Worst experience ever — run away from this company!!

Originally hired to install windows. Great experience. We then looked at them to install new roof and solar panels. We started contracting at end on July 2025. Roof installed by September with solar panels. Been told several times that solar will be operational within a week only to fly by those estimated schedule. They have blamed SDGE, but when the inspector showed up in November, they did not follow the drawings on grounding, and the inspection failed. Been asking for a schedule since November and have not gotten a straight answer. Then in December, the contractor did not fasten down sky light and wind took it away for a ride, causing my outdoor area to get water damage. They installed a new skylight and fastened it down this time. We are now near end of February 2026 and still have no answer for when I will be able to use my solar panels. If I had known solar was a racket I would not have tried to get in before the change of law end of year 2025. Terrible experience and recommend others looking for roofing contractors to go elsewhere.
