legal theft 10/19/2011

this company is a SCAM now with new licence and name SDHI original eh they said they would get the project permitted i asked for and to do that you must have a drawing an engineer drawing to submit they told us it was at the city and they through the structure up in a day and told us not to worry it was fine, we know what we are doing ect ect. i keep asking to see the drawing , they shine me on and in 2 1/2 days its complete according to the 3rd guy in comand because the other 2 arnt available...as they throw some paint up, im forced to pay the total as the contract penalizes you daily for non payment and im honest. so then sdgand e comes out and tells us....it obstructs their service. i tell contracter and he illegally hires a company to move wires. sdg@ e not happy. turns out no permits were even filed or drawings done.....when i confrunt main guy jay he says i opened up a real can of worms now and he was just trying to save me money. now supposedly the owner had a stroke and the business is in bankrupcy. funny a guy called from home improvements and asked if we wanted more work done?!!! so i said seriously?!!! so jim stamose comes over says hes a friend of the owner...says he had a stroke and now all we can do is file for the bond....but they dont respond.....funny if you call the same number for san diego home improvments...you will probly reach myra as she was same person i delt with for reaching anyone and san diego home improvments....yet she states no no we are sdhi not san diego home improvments. numbers to reach owner were same as before ...answering machines beware our state licencing and d.a are aware of this practice and dont protect us at all.... so far just change your name and stealing is permitted. now we face cost of removal and fee fines and new everything legal theives call 619 544 1121 if u need more more

Bad Contractors Work Poor Quality Work Over Charging Poor Cu 9/1/2011

Their work is so bad they set up a fake website choosesdhi com with a fake review page to deceive customers. Real reviews were on yelp but Kudzu and Google had several 5 star reviews posted on the same day and time. These people are not only horrible contractors( just read the yelp reviews and others) but when you don't have the work done you get harassing calls, If you block their number they call from a blocked number. I asked to be removed from the call list and was told maybe after a few years they would stop calling. I reported them to the Government sponsored ""do not call list"" but they keep calling. I already had the work done and explained this to them but nothing helps. more

Their work is so bad they set up a fake website choosesdhi com with a fake review page to deceive customers. Check out yelp for the real story. Just look at how many 5 star reviews were done on the same day. Bad Work Poor Quality Work Over Charging Poor Customer Service Abuse Bad Reviews Ongoing Harassing Telephone Calls Dishonest Estimates These people are not only horrible contractors( just read the yelp reviews and others) but when you don't have the work done you get harassing calls, If you block their number they call from a blocked number.

Fast work, Great price, Excellent customer service 7/28/2011

San Diego Home Improvements was recommended to us by close friends two years ago and we have used them ever since. They first painted our entire condo and patiently put up with last minute color changes and a tight deadline. Jay and his team were very neat and did a top quality job. A year later we changed the color of our playroom and they again did a very nice job. A few new team members worked on the job so I did ask Jay to come do a little clean up work and he took care of it perfectly. This past spring our condo association chose San Diego Home Improvements to do the work in our entire building and they again did a neat and quick job. The pricing is very competitive and we've always been very happy with the work. Jay is great to work with and always follows up on his team's workmanship if he is unable to be on the job. We will continue using them for all of our painting needs and recommend them highly to our friends. more

Excellent, well-managed painting with quality craftsmanship 7/28/2011

I used San Diego Home Improvements for the first time this year, for an exterior paint job. Jay, the General Manager, is very personable and I was impressed by the straightforward, uncomplicated way he approached the project. The quality of the work was excellent and I felt it was top quality value at a very good price. I have since used his services for two other projects and have been pleased with the job his painters have done. I would definitely recommend San Diego Home Improvements more

Great and Clean Work 7/28/2011

This company is so professional, very courteous, and we've gotten so many compliments on our paint job that I've referred them many times over! They may be a tad more expensive than other contractors but well worth every penny. Customer Service is priceless, not to mention being able to trust people in your home. more

Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!! 7/28/2011

The crew was very conscientious regarding clean up and noise. Even the neighbors have commented on how quietly and quickly your crew painted our house. Our next door neighbors had their house painted by San Diego Home Improvements several years ago and it is holding up very well. They highly recommended them and we will do the same more

Great job at a very competitive price 7/28/2011

Very competitive rates, impeccable references and a great job. My house looks better than new. They were able to power wash one day and prime, prep and paint the next. They were conscientious and cleaned up after themselves. more

Great customer service 7/28/2011

We used San Diego Home Improvements for our new house renovation. We are extremely pleased with the service and quality of work that Jay and his team did for us. Of all the contractors we used San Diego Home Improvements was the one that we knew we could count on day in and day out to be there on time and finished the work on schedule.Jay was very friendly and courteous to us from the start of the project and gave us fair price for all the work that he did for us. Rudy was a great second in command to Jay in terms of getting the guys to do exactly what we wanted. Stevie, Joel and Wes were great to work with as well. we are definitely will be using them for future work in our house. 10/10 more

Not an Honest Company 7/26/2011

I have no idea from where these five star reviews came. Check the dates on them. All of the positive reviews are are on mostly the same exact dates ? Weird. Also, my last review(which is very truthful) was deleted. If I could, I would rate them zero out of five. Some of these reviews for this company(on many sites) seem fraudulent! There was never a design plan even though we were promised one multiple times. It is funny how one of their reviews from citysearch mentions their amazing design team that does not exist. This is a True Review: They were fired after our two to three week bathroom remodel turned into a three month nightmare. First off, they did not get a permit, which means that they were operating illegally as a licensed contractor. There was no organization, time line, or communication. We had to call them multiple times daily to see if and when they would show up. They frequently did not show up. They took long ""lunch breaks"" and ""store trips"". They did not cover our hardwood floors for the first few days during demo and only put it down after we asked them repeatedly...after they had scratched the floor. They left trash and garbage in our house and yard for weeks...yes, we asked them to remove it many times. There was simply no quality control. We had a waterfall in the wall at one point due to a cap popping off in the middle of the night. We had to shut the water off manually, so it would not flood our neighbor's house. We were told this is common and not to worry about it. They sent three sets of their plumbers(their third plumber, they told us, was a ""professional"" Thanks guys for finally hiring a professional to work on our bathroom...) to diagnose some problems...after many weeks, the last set of ""professional"" plumbers realized that none of the plumbing was strapped as well as many other issues.. Furthermore, they deeply scratched our brand new corner whirlpool tub and broke piping on the side of it. They did frame the tub..three times..incorrectly. When we called Jay in the beginning to share our uneasiness with what was happening, he angrily told us not to tell his workers what to do. ? We even paid for expedited shipping for items when they made it seem like we were slowing down the process...which was a waste of money. We have had three inspections all of which pointed out flaws in plumbing, electrical, framing...everything...sewage pipes were not covered, live wires were exposed, drains and sewer pipes were running uphill, insufficient nails were nailed into ceiling joists making the shower ceiling dangerous, tub framing was uneven... To get to all of the incorrect piping and to get everything up to code, the walls were torn out as well as the floor. Just ridiculous, sad, frustrating...a horrible experience. We have paid them $8430...we ended up with a shell of a room with no shower, an incorrectly framed broken tub, no toilet, no vanity...and all bad plumbing, no lights, incorrect electrical and ventilation...furthermore, we have to buy a new tub and have had to pay for an inspector. We were extremely patient in the past..maybe too patient. We now have no confidence in their work and want a full refund...which Jays he will not give. We were told the project manager William was fired, but he is not the only problem with that company. Also, we should be reimbursed for the broken, scratched whirlpool tub. No honor, no respect for people...they should be ashamed. more

Awesome Work!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7/15/2011

They showed up early which I appreciated, worked steady until job was completed. Vlad and Victor were very polite and extremely professional. Customer service was exceptional from initial visit to completion of work. They did an incredible job cleaning up themselves. I'm extremely satisfied with my windows, they look fantastic. I would recommend San Diego Home Improvemens to everyone. Thanks Again more

Thank you a million times!!!!! 7/14/2011

The 2 consultants did a nice presentation. Very informative. I'm having the coating done on my house now that San Diego Home Improvements completed the roofing. I wanted my house done by the same company. The crew did a good job. They cleaned up well, painted all my caps and jacks to match the new roof. If my friends were looking to do the roof, I would recommend San Diego Home Improvements definitely more
