I started by calling three local companies and getting them to come out for quotes and plans on how to accomplish our upgrade. Though Ben (from Ritefast) was the first to respond, I could tell from his plan that he was most likely going to be the one we went with. Not only was he accommodating to our needs, his pricing was competitive as well. He was able to start the following week, which fit perfectly with our needs. Because the server room is the heart of our business, each day it was down was effectively a day that our business could not run. As a result, Ritefast took it on as a weekend (and late night) job. We shut down the servers on Friday morning as Ritefast showed up. The AC showed up and it was bigger than either of us was expecting, but it was going to give us the cooling we needed. This required a last minute change to expand the room and reroute the entrance to the space. Ritefast adapted to the change and still go the job done. Saturday morning at 9am, they had the demo done, the new wall constructed, and roofwork begun. Sunday morning at 9am, they had all of the insulation done, soundproofing was underway. Sunday night at 10pm, I went by and there was still clearly a lot of work to be done. Things were progressing well, but there was still a lot to be done. I was concerned that we were going to lose all of Monday for work. I arrived around 8am Monday morning and they were finishing up detail work at that point, everything but a second coat of paint was done. The crew had stayed until 4 or 5am to complete the work and then came back only 3 hours later to put on finishing touches. The place was already clean and nearly 100% ready to use. AMAZING! Shortly thereafter, the paint was dry enough that I was able to reinstall our servers and have the company back on it's feet around noon. Drainage for the AC was a big concern going into the project and the original plan was to run it out the wall and down the side of the building, but RiteFast was able to run a line up to the existing AC drainage on the roof and plug into that. Seemed great. Turns out a couple of days later that the main AC units shut down and that there was some leakage from the roof. It seems like the addition of the trunk was creating some unexpected backup. We called Ritefast immediately upon noticing and they came back and fixed the problem within a couple of hours. Everything has run smoothly since. Our new room is quiet, cool and dust free, and the surrounding offices are no longer plagued by noise or heat from the server room, making our space more usable and allowing me to maximize our square footage. These guys did it all, construction, soundproofing, roofing, electrical, ac, telephony, flooring, etc. Ben, was personable, knowledgeable, and kept me in the loop the entire time. Luis and his crew were friendly, experienced, and a pleasure with which to communicate. I am very pleased and will use RiteFast again for any business or personal needs coming up.
Description of Work: Remodeled the company's small server room.

Soundproofed all 6 surfaces, including adding a drop ceiling, soundboard,, insulation, quietrock drywall and foam insulation where appropriate. Installed new laminate flooring.

They job overall went well. Things got delayed about two weeks more than estimated, but I've been told that this is still very good. My friends who have had work done have reassured me that there are always delays in this industry. In the end, I was really happy with the result, especially with the quality of work.
Description of Work: We did a complete kitchen remodel, where every aspect of the kitchen was torn out, and remodeled to our exact specifications. We basically feel that we got a custom kitchen, as we got to design the cabinets and drawers. We asked for, and received, a lazy susan for the corner cabinet, pull out drawers, a pull out recycle/trash, and a pantry. Then we were so thrilled to find out everything was the automatic, silent hinges. It turns out that there are many shades of white, and Benjamin took the care to make sure the cabinets matched the white subway tile backsplash. And we absolutely love the quartz countertop. This job also included installing new wood floors in the kitchen, which Benjamin was able to nearly perfectly match up with the pre-existing wood in the rest of the living areas. I was most impressed on the day that they came to install the floor, which was a Saturday, where they worked from 8am until about 7pm to get the floor completely done (although maybe my neighbors not so much?). This job also included re-doing the bar/buffet area with new cabinets and the same quartz countertop. They even made us a built in wine rack, which we love. Also in the dining room, they removed a very much out-of-style wall to wall mirror. Our price did not include any of the appliances. But we had appliances delivered, and Rite Fast installed everything.

The job was done quickly, and appears to have been very well-done.
Description of Work: We had every wall and ceiling in our 1,300 square foot condo, with tall ceilings, painted. There is also crown-molding throughout, which Rite Fast suggested a really nice color for. Benjamin actually helped us choose the paint color, too. After if was all done they gave us whatever paint was left over so we could touch anything up that we ever needed to down the road. They completed the paint job in just a few days, and then Benjamin looked over the job at the end to make sure there weren't any areas that needed touched up.

The job went well and they were pretty timely in doing the work, although it was not a time-critical project. They removed all the debris promptly since they tore down the existing structure and rebuilt it, essentially so they removed the debris right away. They cleaned up after themselves each day so there was not a big mess. My advice to others would be to make sure you understand the specifications of the job clearly at the beginning. There were some add-ons in this job that we did not totally expect but we must not have understood the jobs specs completely and what was included. Like some other contractors, they are not very good generally at paper work and specifying exactly what they are doing.
Description of Work: We used Rite Fast Construction to rebuild a trellis/gazebo by our community pool. I am the treasurer of our homeowner's association.

My tenants were complaining about the kitchen sink not draining properly at my old beach craftsman duplex. I called Rite Fast to unclog the line - I had used them before for painting and other repairs. They cleared the sewer line and then did a free inspection and discovered that the line was actually leaking under the house in more than one place and had been for some time. Someone had apparently tried to patch it in the past but the patching was not holding. The water had also damaged the wood around the toilet. It was quite a mess. I was lucky the toilet had not fallen through the floor. Rite Fast was fast and responsive and explained everything to my satisfaction (I tend to ask a lot of questions....). They were great with the tenants who were not so happy about having their toilet removed, even briefly. I trust Rite Fast and will continue to use them for all my repair and remodel work.
Description of Work: Replace the old sewer line under the house to the main line. Removed and replaced water damaged sub-floor and repaired the hardwood floor to re-support the toilet. Reinstalled the toilet.

I have an old duplex near the beach and it always seems to need something. I live in Northern California, so I can't supervise the job the way I would if I were in Los Angeles. The manager of my property recommended Rite Fast and I have been quite pleased with their responsiveness and integrity. I have used Rite Fast ever since for a number of jobs over the past few years. For the exterior paint job, we had to figure out the colors the over the phone. Luis was patient and understanding. They coordinated with the tenants and cheerfully dealt with the tenants aggressive dogs, and cleaned up from all the sanding and scraping. The paint job came out beautifully. For the electric gate, Rite Fast correctly diagnosed the electrical problem and painted the gate with industrial rust resistant paint. The gate looks brand new and now the tenants are once again able to use their parking. I am happy to recommend Rite Fast for any type of remodeling or repair work.
Description of Work: The big job was painting the exterior of my duplex including the decks and railings. The house has wood siding and years ago had been coated with TextCoat.The TexCoat had to be removed. They also painted and repaired the large metal sliding electric gate for the parking. The gate was starting to rust and was not closing properly. Smaller jobs include:Repairing the washing machine, snaking the sewer line, cleaning the leaves and debris off the roof, pruning the trees, replacing light fixtures and repairing window frames so that the old wood frame windows worked properly again.

As stated previously, we had retained another contractor, who was unsatisfactory and had to be fired midway through the project. We retained Ritefast to complete a complete kitchen remodel, which went so well that we then hired them to convert our garage to a and quot;granny house.and quot; In each case, the work was done under budget, quickly, and with minimal impact on our everyday lives (we had a newborn during the kitchen remodel, for example). The kitchen was actually featured in an LA Times article after completion: http://articles.latimes.com/2002/aug/18/realestate/re-remodel18 We've also had Ritefast assist with our business in many ways.
Description of Work: Ritefast performed a complete remodel of our kitchen, as well as a garage conversion into a living space for our elderly mother. The kitchen remodel was begun by another contractor who screwed up badly and Ritefast came in and saved the project and thousands of our hard earned dollars in the process. One example was an angled ceiling that was off center, which required a massive tear down of work already performed and recalculations of the beams and joists. What we thought would be a massively expensive reworking was done for free! They have also done small jobs, from fixing a shower faucet to sealing a leaky skylight.

What we liked so much about Rite Fast Construction was they had an eye for detail. Things that we were over looking he (Luis Madrid) was right there in helping us see the big picture with out a major increase in cost. They were also fast and did not go much over the time they promised. Again we are very pleased. He also came back a few years later to see how his work had held up. That spoke volumes.
Description of Work: It was our first remodeling job on our home. Rite Fast Construction came to our home and we spoke in detail about what we wanted done to our kitchen, bath and our hard wood floors. He gave us some suggestions and it turned out beautifully! We are very pleased. We then hired them again to do a rental property that we have and it too came out wonderfully well.

Good friends urged us to use Rite Fast when were looking for help to complete a remodel on our four unit building. The previous contractor had made a mess of the remodel and was not getting the job done - a classic contractor nightmare, so we were really concerned about what to do next. We were so happy to Rite Fast and they did such a wonderful job - many people comment on how good the building looks - that they have now worked for at least three other neighbors. Integrity, honesty, good advice, excellent workmanship - I can't recommend Rite Fast highly enough.
Description of Work: The first job was a major remodel on our two story, four unit 1960's apartment building which included: remodeling all four kitchens (fixtures, wiring, granite counter tops, custom cabinets), new appliances, installing new bamboo floors, rewiring and re-plumbing about 75% of building, installing four new on demand water heaters, smooth coat stucco exterior, painting interior, installing new windows, rebuilding stairs and railing (beautiful custom iron work), building and installing custom fencing, installing new electric gate for parking, new cement walkways, planting trees and landscaping, installing new interior and exterior doors, installing new heaters including vents, helping locate stove vent hoods, remodeling bathrooms, installing new sinks, bathtubs, and tile, new closets, new rain gutters, and even a raised garden bed. We were so happy with the high level of professionalism, concern for safety and quality of work that we have used Rite Fast ever since. We have recently used this company on two other large jobs - one was a remodel on a craftsman style house and the other was a remodel of two apartments in a Spanish style building. The work on the craftsman house included upgrading the electrical, new electrical box, remodeling two bathrooms, rebuilding and expanding the balcony, tiling the kitchen floor, painting the kitchen and installing new granite counters plus interior painting and repairing the old wood windows so that they would function properly and installing pavers in yard for a patio. The work on the Spanish style building included new wood flooring, installing new lighting and a new on demand water heater, stucco and dry wall repair, replacing a rotting beam in the ceiling, grouting kitchen counter tile, removing the old linoleum floor in the kitchen and replacing with pavers to match the tile counters, repairing the wood windows, replacing, interior paint, re-supporting the antique tile deck and stairs, repairing the gate and installing a keypad entry lock, landscaping, and a beautiful exterior paint job.
I own an apartment building, so I am always trying to improve upon my building to enhance my tenants living experience and bring value to my property. Luis is my home improvement specialist. I will always work with Luis, he is my first call for all home improvements. I highly regard him as a contractor and now as a friend. You will not be disappointed if you call Luis.
Description of Work: Well that price I mentioned was for just the creation of a gate and fence, that included labor, the manganese wood, and the welding of the steel frame for the gate and fence extension. We originally came up with the design together and then he implemented the execution. It looks great and a lot of neighbors feel that way too! So much so that he is getting a bunch of work from them for their gates and fencing. Unfortunately a tree by my sidewalk had been ripping up my sidewalk and thus extended under my existing fence. So I had him tear up the sidewalk and take out the root of the tree which has been ripping apart the concrete. The then cleanly poured a new sidewalk. It looks amazing, especially with my new fence. I have worked with Luis before. He has replaced my water heaters in my lower units, converting them to tankless, he also moved plumbing (welding and plumbing) outlets from in a bathroom to inside of my water closet, so that washer dryer units could be placed partially inside my water closet giving more space to my tenants bathroom. He has also done plastering in those bathrooms to repair and completed with a paint job to match the existing color. In the past he has also fixed some water damage by sourcing the problem and fixing the flushing on the roof and then replacing the drywall and repainting. Luis has also completely overhauled my expensive deck, pulling up the rotted plywood, and replacing, and then refinishing with the correct materials to seal. Luis also fixed my back gates and replaced my wheels after he realized the bearings went durable enough for the weight of the gate and the size of the motor. Luis is always looking at the details. In conclusion, Luis is very intelligent. He knows the latest materials, and he knows engineering, so he can get the best results to fix a situation at its root issue. I know I can call Luis and he will fix it right and for a reasonable price. He will also come back to take a look at something whatever the size project, as soon as possible.
