Cosmic Renovation and Roofing Inc

Cancelled job; no new construction done. See above.

Top Design did a and quot;bait and switchand quot; on me. I contracted for and quot;lifetimeand quot; Stretch-Guard elastocmeric paint, with and quot;400 %and quot; stretch. I was given a sample warranty certificate from Life Paint and told that I would receive my own and quot;lifetimeand quot; warranty certificate at the end of the job. When the certificate was delivered, it was for and quot;10 yearand quot; paint, not and quot;lifetimeand quot; paint. I checked the leftover paint buckets and found that my house had indeed been painted with cheap inferior paint. During the painting, I had checked the buckets, which did say and quot;Stretch-Guardand quot;. However, the area on the label where the warranty was listed had a convenient big blob of paint. When I complained, the BS started. So far, it's been about four weeks of unending broken promises, falsehoods and evasions. Many times the company owner has promised to check something and call me back. He has never returned one of these calls. Most recently, on 6/14/13, he promised that a crew would come back on the 18th or 19th to repaint at least the stucco. On the 17th, a woman from their office called and said that the crew would arrive at 8:30 AM on the 19th. Of course, nobody showed up and there have been no calls. This seems to be a thoroughly unreliable company whose owner, Mr. David Barness attempts to evade his contractual obligations, tells untruths and does not keep his promises. Personally, I would not trust them again for any sort of work. I'm in the process of preparing complaints to the California Contractor License Board, California Consumer Affairs and the Better Business Bureau. When my lawyer returns from vacation, I intend investigate a criminal and quot;bait and switchand quot; complaint and/or a lawsuit. I would also recommend against the use of and quot;Stretch-Guardand quot; paint. True terpolymer elastomeric paint is expensive, so the mere existence of a 10 year warranty and quot;Stretch-Guardand quot; paint is highly suspicious. At the very least, this serves to facilitate bait and switch scams. Plus, the manufacturer, and quot;Lifepaintand quot;, has a truly awful Web site, making it nearly impossible to determine what you are actually getting.

This was a cold call. I normally do not respond to these, but Vincent, the caller, nicely pulled me in. David Porta, the Project Manager called and set up an appointment to meet. He showed up at the appointed time, we discussed everything I wanted done, he went off to take measurements. We agreed upon a price, a date to start work and an ending date. I was actually not going to be there for the first week, but he assured me everything would be OK. When I returned, the majority of the project was done. David's foreman, Jesus, and his sons were very professional. We had some early morning timing issues, but the project was completed on time. There were a few nit picky issues I had and they were very cooperative and prompt in making them right. I recommend David Potra with Top Design Inc for any repairs needed in the San Diego area.

When the salesman sold us the job, he said we'll finish it in a month and if we don't we'll pay you $125 for everyday we're late. Top Design Inc were a month late and they didn't make good on any of that, they didn't have them write it in a contract. For the most part, they did a good job on the work. When you look at the bathroom, there are 4 walls and 3 of them, they look great, the fourth one, not so good because they built some cheap looking shelf. There was 2 guys involved, the main guy was real good, the guy I originally talked to was real bad.

The experience was poor. That was three strikes and I just said never mind. I wanted my deal back. It was a hassle to make those phone calls and get that deal. I did get that deal back but I really needed the work done. I would have certainly been delighted if they had showed up. I cannot report on their service because there was no service. They just weer not reliable and they did not keep their word. I would understand if something might have come up once but three times was extremely disappointing. Even if they got slumped with that deal, they should have been an explanation. There was no response at all. They just never showed up.

Not sure how they got our phone number but made marketing contacts about home improvements --seemed to know we were looking for replacement windows and or flooring. Did not like the approach of acting like they were responding to a request from them. They have a very bad BBB rating so not interested

I would say this company is inadequate causing harm.

Since the coupon had expired and the company no longer performed the services I required. I contacted Angie's List and received my full refund. So I felt overall it went well.

Later when I checked the work closely. There are many places that have to be retouched. The patching is starting to peel from the ceiling. I would definitely NOT recommend them.

I would not recommend them for any job at this point. They are very unprofessional. They weren't even reliable enough to have a direct conversation with me about what needed to be done. Everything about them was disappointing and inaccurate.

We had a few issues but I am happy with the results. We liked the sales person and the people that actually did the work. We only had some trouble with I guess the management or the owner responding to us. We got everything taken care of.

We did not go with them. They cold called us and they apparently referred us to another company they are affiliated with and the whole thing seemed like a mess. Then we started getting calls from people that wanted to sell us materials, all sort of junk from those people. They seemed nice enough. My mother had a repiping job and we wanted to get some more money together before we got the whole job done. They quoted us 2 different prices, for repipe and for internal drywall work.

Do: buy the paint before they come out and the brushes too or they will go and buy it for you. It's nice but time consuming. Just for you to know.

I needed a bunch of little things done around the house, so I bought 2 coupons for the 6 hours of Handyman service. Hugo came and was punctual and professional. He did every thing that needed to be done in the 12 hours. If you buy the 6 hours for $199, ask for Hugo.

I purchased the $1299 for $2800 worth of service. Going into it, I knew that my house needed a lot more work. I was flabbergasted on their estimate. If I didn't already prepay the $1299, I would've had someone else do the work at a cheaper price.possibly. Well, at least I would've known if I got a good deal or not. The quality of work was awesome. Their workers did an amazing job. Make sure that you check your papers and do the math. I am hoping that it was just a mathematical mistake and not purposely trying to pull something. If they offer you an incentive for inconveniencing you, make sure that you get it in writing because they'll deny it later when you want to cash it in.

My wife and I were originally interested in purchasing the discounted design work advertised by Top Design. However, since we were impressed with the creative, knowledgeable, and friendly approach displayed by both Guy Borenstein and Guy Liba we decided to give them the project. They and their crews were straightforward and punctual. My only concern was a need to negotiate price change prior to beginning added work.

Estimate only - No work done

I thought that it went really well. I called about the big deal coupon, they came out within 2 days, and we talked about the project I had wanted. As I said above, it went beyond the scope of the coupon, but they told me that right away. We discussed what I was willing to spend at the time, and they sent out the guys within a week to start the project. They finished the project in 2 days, in the worst heat wave we've had in years, and the porch looks great. There were absolutely no problems with Top Design at all.

I have a closet in my hallway where my stackable washer and dryer have been and quot;built inand quot;. Any time either needs to be repaired, I have to remove the closet doors and the framing attached to them. I had done this in May and made a mess of my walls, so wanted a professional to come in and repair the damage and re-attach the doors. I explained this over the phone when scheduling the work, and Hugo showed up to take care of it. He determined what materials he would need and went to Home Depot to pick them up (I paid for the supplies--that was part of the deal--which amounted to about $36.) He completed the work in less than four hours and cleaned up the mess. He was extremely courteous. Had I been prepared, he would have spent a few more hours repainting for me (the deal was for 8 hours of work. I was leaving town right away, so never followed up on whether or not they would have come back for another four hours, but I still feel that I got my money's worth.)

I'm very happy with the work my bathrooms look beautiful, the only reason I'm giving a B rating is because they had to come back and reglaze the tub. The first time they came we were not given instructions about the care of a reglazed tub. They came back promptly and fixed the problem to my satisfaction. Rami and Leo gave us a good price for the work that was done, at first I was reluctant to give a down payment so they worked with me and my husband Ernest.

It went beautifully. See above.

I got a handyman and his son and they did not accomplish the amount of work I had hoped.

It went very well. Just dissatisfied that our windows didn't get taken care of.

They only cared about being the installers of your new kitchen, the design work coupon was a scam to just get in the door. I had to call multitudes of times just to get the plans delivered either through email, snail mail, fax, other. I even had to threaten to do a charge back on the credit card for not doing the plans as paid for which I had not received until a month after they came to my house to do the measurements. I figured if the plans were spectacular I could forgive the hassle, but they were no better than a Home Design store bought layout. The design didn't even cover the changes to the demo as discussed if we couldn't remove a segment in the kitchen.

He helped install a replacement garage window.
