I've known and worked with SoCal Contractor for over 12 years as a designer, they make our job easy. Their strength is built on the balance of the client's & designer's vision, the budget and timeline goals - and they adjust accordingly as the project evolves to make sure they deliver a beautifully finished home in the end. They are the true definition of team work. Roy and his crew are honest, hard working and problem solvers. Really easy to work with!

Report
Beware of this contractor. They will tell you they have workers and can complete work within schedule. Not true! We used them 2 times and both times they lied. Workers did not show up to work and not professionals. The last job they couldn't finish but instead blaming us the home owner that waited for a year! Do not use them, waste of time and money! There are many other good ones.
