I have just begun a project with Michael at KMS Builders and he is prompt, responsive, friendly, and within my budget. No work has been completed at this stage, so I will have to rate that later, but based on projects I have seen and talking to his references, he seems to be a good contractor who keeps his word.

Reviews:
I was told by Service Magic that Absolute Home Improvements does provide free estimates. My washer wasn't working and I asked Mark (the owner) to please give me an estimate on fixing it. He came into my home, spent 10 minutes looking at it and said a certain part probably needs to be replaced but he is not sure if that is all that is wrong with it. Then he charged me $95. I said I was told that you provided free estimates. He said that the estimate was free. The $95 charge was for the diagnostic which was the 10 min that he took to look at it. I asked if he could apply the $95 towards the labor to fix it and he said No.

ServiceMagic.com Verified Rating for Asphalt Shingle Roofing - Repair
Citrus Heights, CA

Rating: 3.7

Reviews:
He did a good job, however his bid was not accurate. He charged me $400 more, because there was additional wood rot that he had not anticipated. He was supposed to come on Monday and finish the job in one day, however, he could not get the supplies there until Monday and then he showed up on Tuesday and worked for half a day and then said he would finish it the next day. I think part of it was the additional wood riot he had to take care of , however, he left mid day. He did finish it on Wednesday. The work looks good. I would just suggest being flexible on timeliness, etc. If you hire him.

PM, Hayward, CA

Rating: 4.7

Reviews:
Very professional, very reliable. He was always concerned that at the end of the day we could still utilize our kitchen to fix meals, do dishes, etc. In other words, we had very little down time, didn't have to eat out during the project, etc. His expertise in all facets-- electrical, plumbing, plastering, etc. Meant less contractors to call. One call got it all, and if he couldn't do it (i.e. the corian countertops) he knew who to call to get the job done . Would highly recommend him to others.

Rating: 3.3

Reviews:
First of all, I do want to say that the job with the TexCo was done well, the color was the one we picked, and although it took a little longer than expected at the end it was done to our satisfaction. As for the sunroom, well, what can I tell you, it's not complete done, I'm still waiting for soomeone to come back and finish w/ the patio, which it is part of the sunroom project. One example of us not been happy is that after the doors were installed, it took over 2 weeks to get someone to our house to get the doors painted, and not Not happy about the way they painted the door The three men that worked on the sunroom worked very hard.

Bay Area Power Wash
Allan Molina
751 Laurel Street #402, San Carlos, CA  94070


What's the difference between power washing and pressure washing? Power washing is typically done with hot water - up to 250 degrees. Power washing can melt chewing gum from a sidewalk, kills moss, mold and bacteria, and can be a more effective cleaning method. Power washing pressure and temperature can be adjusted as necessary to protect delicate interests such as flowers and painted surfaces. We have worked for Safeway, Albertsons, Starbucks, Chevys, The City of Mountain View, San Mateo County Harbor District, and many other residential and commercial clients. We can power wash your home, business, fleet equipment, walkways, brickwork, concrete, or just about any exterior surface. We can also power wash your Redwood deck or fence and seal/stain it to protect and restore to a near new appearance!
