Expert Maintenance and Custom Painting

For the past year I had been contemplating adding a gated entrance and coyote fence to make my property a bit more private. I understood this was going to be quite an expensive job so I took my time getting estimates to save some money. I really wanted to make sure I did not sacrifice quality. I saw an ad hanging on the bulletin at the coffe shop in the San Busco center for these guys and decided to give them a call. Long story short, I am a straight shooter and like to get to the point quickly. I called them up and spoke to Eddie. He agreed to come out and take a look at the property and give an estimate. The wall I wanted was to be 6 ft high. I also wanted pillars and a 150' coyote fence. The estimate came in at $19,000 including materials. I had been shopping around quite extensively. This was on the lower end of the estimates I had recieved. I was able to negotiate and we agreed on $17,000. I was happy with the price. The fact that this company isn't very well known yet threw me off, but Eddie seemed very genuine and was very adiment in assuring me the job would be done correctly and they would not cut any corners to ensure the quality was top notch. He also guaranteed his work for 5 years I decided to give them a shot. We were out of town visiting family and were only home for the first day of the job. Eddie and his workers showed up in a timely manner and began work quickly. When we arrived 2 weeks later and finally were able to see the completed fence and wall we were expremely pleased. The coyote fence came out very straight and level at the top of the poles. The wall was exactly as I had pictured it. Another detail worth mentioning is our property was spotless when we arrived home. No trash or stucco lying around. Very professional. We had to purchase the gate and have it installed elsewhere. In conclusion, I was nervous spending so much money, but I was being "cheap". It definately paid off in this case. I woud recommend this company again.

I apologize if this is to long. I am new to Angies List, though a few of my friends use it. I wanted to make sure it was well detailed. My wife and I were very excited to have purchased our first home. It was a bit of a fixer upper. We did alot of work ourselves but decided we needed help to make the place really shine. A very good friend of ours had a custom staircase made by this company. I have to say it really made a diffence in his home. We decided to get an estimate a staircase as well. We called and spoke to Eddie. He was very friendly helpful. We are both very busy with work, but Eddie was willing to come on a Sunday to give us an estimate. He arrived a few minutes before 10, which is when we had agreed upon. He took measurements, discussed what materials we would like, and suggested some really interesting custom touches. We could tell he was very artistic. He explained that they also do custom tile and how it would make a really big impression for a small investment. I found out his last name was the same as mine, Santa Fe is a small place as we all know lol, and I jokingly asked for a "family discount". He laughed and told me he would do what it took to earn my business. We discussed it and decided to have the staircase in the living room, some custom tile work done in the bathroom, and 2 accent walls painted. We were quoted $2750 including materials. Eddie and his crew began work the following Monday. He explained the project would take about a week. Him and his crew arrived at 8:00 sharp every day and began work immediately. You can tell they do not like to waste time. We basically agreed to trust his taste, being that he had done this alot and we had no real idea of what would look best. The work came out absolutely stunningly. We were both shocked on how much of an impact a staircase could make in a room. Eddie stained the wood with a high gloss finish which made it look very high end. He added a custom shape to the base of the staircase, and the rail looked hand carved. When we saw the finished design of the bathroom tile we were very impressed. We chose a very classy high gloss black tile, Eddie incorporated Santa Fe style designs with clear glass tile. It completely transformed our master bathroom. The accent walls were painted with precision. Our carpet stayed nice and clean! no spills. The project came in a little over the original quote. We ended up paying $2925.00 which we felt was more than worth it. We were so happy we tried to tip Eddie $100. He refused and asked that all we do is share his work with our friends. We already have plans brewing up for the next project. We will be definately be using Expert again for our guest bathroom and a few other things. We highly recommend them! You can't beat the quality. This guy has a real talent for what he does.
