Contractors in Santa Ana

“MFK Construction was outstanding! We were in escrow on a property for sale and nearing our closing date, and had an emergency situation arise. We needed to replace a whole upper deck prior to the HOA allowing us to close our transaction. Since we are a full-service Real Estate team, we jumped on Yelp searching for a very specific trade. Mitch at MFK was one of the first responses we received. I told him about our situation, and we set up a meeting immediately. He provided a reasonable quote, and the work began right away. Our client was thrilled to have this stress taken off her plate. There were no surprises or delays, and they did a beautiful job! They demoed two layers, replaced everything, including some fascia, added new joists, applied the waterproof deck coating system, flashing, stucco and paint!

The crew was on time, and they cleaned up after themselves. They posted notices throughout the community and spoke with neighbors to prevent any issues. They provided a credit card link for our client to pay, and everything was very smooth. They communicated daily on their progress. The HOA was happy, the client was happy, and the new buyer was happy! We closed our escrow! I will definitely be saving their contact as one of our preferred vendors to refer to other clients! Thanks again! You have a great team!“

“I fully recommend Balleza Painting to complete ANY of your painting needs! We bought a new house and Israel was recommended to us by the previous homeowners, so we asked him to paint the interior of our house. Israel and his crew were able to come out within a week of asking, completed the job in one day, and were extremely professional and clean. We asked them to come back the next day to paint the interior of garage and stain our hand railings and it looks amazing! We plan to use them in the future for the exterior of our home. Like I said, FULLY recommend!“

“Dror is the absolute best. We are so thankful that we found him. He was honest, paid attention to the details, and generous with his time and crew. Absolutely the best experience and the end result is unbelievable. He did a conversion from a two car garage to a one bedroom ADU and it looks amazing. No surprises. No gotcha expenses. We are definitely calling him for the next project.“

“Mike was prompt and professional. We needed to sand down and recoat our hardwood floor due to a water leak. Mike's team did a great job.“

“We read a funny review that said if you were looking at yelp for recommendations on a backyard contractor/landscaper, you didn't get any good recommendations from your friends and family. In our case, this was partially true. We got around 3-4 quotes from qualified contractors/landscapers, and a recommendation from family. The 3-4 quotes from qualified contractors/landscapers were a joke; one quoted something like 60% above the verbal estimate, the other stopped responding when we had a few snowball questions on the estimate, and one literally told us to put plants on top of a concrete foundation. I think what he meant was to let some weeds grow in between the pavers. Lastly, the worst was the family recommendation, which you'd think would not be the case. Not all was lost, however, since some design ideas from discussing with the first few contractors filtered into our final design for our backyard, which I would recommend if you are the DIY type on coming up with a landscape design. We made an appointment with Will to come by to discuss. He was prompt, courteous and made a real effort to get to know us and hear out our ideas/plans while making some light recommendations of his own. It also helped that their bid was within our budget and very competitive. When we were close to pulling the trigger on selecting CCC, we noticed a discrepancy on licensing that we needed clarified. Will did no hesitate to put us in touch with Chris, the owner, who clarified what we noticed immediately, and appreciated the forthrightness. We were put on the list to begin 3-4 weeks after signing and making the deposit payment. Sean was assigned as our PM and we were glad we got him. Not only was he on top of every aspect of the project, but he steered us into making some better decisions, and ultimately, save us a little money in the process. Texts, emails, etc were all returned very fast, and I didn't ever feel like I was chasing Sean or CCC to get anything done (which seems to be a common thing in many contractor/landscaper reviews I read). Some notable things that I'll highlight during the process and in closing the project out were: - That CCC started and ended mostly on time. - That CCC allowed us to use our own design, help refine it through suggestions, and didn't try and take any shortcuts with what we wanted. - That CCC was flexible in allowing us to choose some of the materials (pavers, lighting) and did not limit our options. - That CCC worked w/ us to add or remove line items, well after the contract was signed, to allow flexibility in the project for things we did not use or things we needed that we didn't factor in. - That CCC provided written contract changes, or agreed through emails, etc when changes did occur to keep the paperwork straight, so there wouldn't be any misunderstandings later. - When there was a mistake made in the pricing of one of the contract line items, that was in our favor, CCC honored the price agreed and did not try and upcharge me for the difference. - That CCC cleaned up, put away, and were generally consummate professionals while onsite. We love our backyard, and we are very glad we went with CCC in the end. One other thing also: these guys do massive, large dollar value jobs. But they also did ours, and they didn't look down on us or treat us any differently than the million dollar jobs they may have been working at the same time. Now, that's respect and commitment. I would recommend Chris, Sean and the CCC team for any job, big or small, and they would be the first ones we'd call if we have future home improvement projects. Thanks again guys. Side note: Don't be a Danielle Downer below, and be realistic on what can and can't be done, especially given timelines around holidays. Side Side Note: The plants were bought at H&H Nursery, the planting of the plants were done by Armstrong Garden Center of LB (off 10th street), and the mulch/stones were supplied by SiteOne Supply (in Los Alamitos). All other items were done by CCC (concrete, paver“
