+10000 for this thread.
For moving you should add Mission Movers, a relative of mine used them and reported great results -- well paced movers, very careful... even used moving blankets and plastic wrapped the furniture.
I think it was a bit over $500 for a 6-hour job with 3 movers (and included the truck).

Done.

I also remember reading Sol Construction being recommended by IR2 (http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,1838.msg23374.html#msg23374 (http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,1838.msg23374.html#msg23374)) a few times.
-
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll add them to the list.
-
Thanks so much for this list!! Awesome!
I'd like to also add that I got this landscaping contact from TI:
KS Landscape Design - Andy Kang is the main contact and he can be reached at (949) 285-5359 or ks.landscapeanddesign@gmail.com
I'm currently with them and it's been a terrific experience so far. Everything is nicely disclosed up front and they pay very close attention to all the crazy association do's and don'ts.
I've heard horror stories from people (my Irvine hair stylist tells plenty of stories) who just picked any random landscaper and ended up having to dig up a bunch of stuff they installed because they couldn't get the Irvine HOA to pass the landscaping permit.
I would be sweating bullets every night over the HOA but I got KS Landscaping so I am just sweating bullets over the interest rates and escrow. :P

I'm glad you have good experience with KS landscape design and thanks for sharing. I'll add them to the list.
I had KS landscape design on my list originally but due to mix reviews I didn't list them here. http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,2707.0.html

Thanks for sharing that. I didn't know there was a thread about them. Andru has been my contact for the project. I have met his father, Abraham a couple of times. I had some of my own ideas for landscaping and they were willing to work with me to see if it will fit into the final design.
I'm still in consultation phase and won't go into actual construction until March. Their pricing is reasonable for my yard size. I know a friend of mine who purchased in Great Park with the 8000 square foot lot is also using KS Landscaping too. I will keep the forum posted should anything arise.

I used EJs home improvement for a retractable screen door recently. did a really good job. start to finish was about 45 minutes. Cost was $350.
-
I'm routinely review and updating this list and thanks all the feedback.
I just realize Jefferson Rand Landscaping was recommended by bones.
We used Jefferson Rand and was very happy with them. It's owned by an Asian woman and they have an in house landscape "designer". Try giving them a call. 714-253-3167.
http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,3893.msg60093.html#msg60093
So bones, your are not using Jefferson Rand for your PP home this time around?

This thread/list is great! Thanks so much.
However... if you (or anyone) happens to have put this all into Outlook or some other address-book software and could export it as vcard files, that would be super-amazing so anyone could just import these into their computer or iPhone/Android!

You're welcome!!
I actually have this list in Excel format, maybe I can uploaded here if it helps.
-
That would be great. I'm pretty sure it would be easy to convert a spreadsheet (probably saved as CSV) to vcard.

The list in Excel...

FYI, Alfred no longer does handyman work.
And Handyman Bob George doesn't return phone calls. FYI.
That's too bad. I was going to call Handyman Bob George.
I did speak to Alfred and he said handyman work was never really his thing. He's a great person though, but to respect his privacy I think we should remove Alfred's name from the list.

Due to a bad experience with another member, I am suspending my recommendation of Mission Movers.
Seems like Excalibur is a good rec as a number of members have used them to their satisfaction (and they have a moving contract?).

Had a good experience recently with Fred Alcaraz for A/C repair. My tenant notified me that the A/C is not blowing cold air Friday at 5PM. Called several places, no one picked up except for Fred. He came by at 7:30PM on a Friday night and spent an hour and a half to replace a blown fuse to the compressor, recharge the freon, and gave the compressor a good inspection.
He's been doing A/C and plumbing for 30 years in Irvine, he knew exactly where my condo was by just telling him the street name. He looks like a one man shop, doesn't have a fancy truck, just drives around all his parts and equipment in a little Toyota Matrix. Price was reasonable, much cheaper than the last guy I called through Service Magic, who only spent 15 minutes to replace a capacitor on the compressor.

The way I see it. Forget being a landlord, just buy REIT stocks.
Also, if you hire a management company, it takes your profit away.

Has anyone used materials from these guys in the first post:
Cougar Stone http://www.cougarstone.com/ (714) 993-7360
2250 Rose Dr. Placentia, CA 92870
I really like the stones they show on their website, was wondering how prices and quality are?

I didn't get the material from Cougar Stone but went there to check out their selections. They have a great showroom for you to get some inspiration for your landscape project and it seems that their price are reasonable. This is one of the place my landscaper recommended to browse different stone tiles. Cougar Stone is also used by AMS Landscape Design.
http://www.houzz.com/photos/31718/AMS-Landscape-Design-Studios-mediterranean-landscape-los-angeles
M S International http://www.msistone.com is another place my landscaper recommended. If you are doing landscaping and want to select different stone tiles, both of these two stores are a good place to start since it is impossible for your landscaper to bring all the different stone selections to you. I'm actually using some tumbled travertine tiles from M S International for my backyard.
Since many here are in the process of doing landscaping, I add these two store to the list so people can go down there, not necessary getting the material from them but check out their selections in their huge showroom.
-
Bump since there have been quite a few requests.
-
Nice... zovall stickied it.
Thanks!!!

I think you can only be "made" if someone with more than 100 posts sponsors you.....Not really...
But notice that Resort Style Backyards who pays to advertise on this forum is not even on this list.
By the way, I think you should add Window Decorators even if Max is a sex offender. Just add a * note by their company name.

Actually the Window Decorators (http://www.thewindowdecorators.com/) was on the list and I just removed them after learning about the owner's criminal history (http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,12380.30.html).
If I put a warning next to the Window Decorators, I don't think anyone will bother to call them anyway. Therefor, I just remove them from the list.
Anyway, people reading this or the shutter thread (http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,3313.0.html) will have their info if they want to call them for quote.

Anyone have a good recommendation on someone that specializes in heavy lighting fixtures? I'm talking about several hundred lbs so I don't trust any ordinary handyman or electrician to do it.
Builder won't touch it. They referred me to an electrician who said he could do it but I was confident he knew how to secure it properly to ceiling mounts/beams. A few others immediately said no when I told them the weight of the fixture.

Several hundred lbs? Looks like you'll need a contractor with a forklift. :)
That's some serious light fixture you got there, good luck with the installation.
-
It's one of those wrought iron and crystal chandeliers. Several hundred lbs a bit of an exaggeration. Is just shy of 200 lbs but that doesn't include the chain. Standard jbox only supports about 90 lbs.

Thanks for letting us know that they are no longer do Irvine. I'll remove them from the list.

My next question: any recommendation on handyman serves in Irvine ;D

What is it that you looking for to get done? Handy man is a wide range of jobs. If you need certain items complete you can post it. Or you can hit Angielist or HomeAdvisor and start there.
-
Simple things like fixing leaking faucet and etc. No electrician type of work involve.
-
Seriously everyone here knows how to fix faucet leak by themselves and don't have anyone in mind fro small job like this? I did check homeadviser and angie's list but the ones have good reviews either have bad reviews when cross check from yelp or do not response at all when we leave them messages. This is getting frustrated.. >:(
-
Anyone have any recommendations for vendors that do grout sealing? I saw Groutzilla in another thread but the yelp reviews aren't so good. I just need bathrooms and kitchen backsplash done. Rather not do it myself, ain't got time for that diy right now. Also, any idea what I reasonable quote would be? Thanks!
-
what is the going rate of labor for harwood, laminate and tile flooring, and any contacts for the same
-

It's around $3-$4/s.f. for a ballpark figure but there's some variables that can affect the installation cost.
For hardwood, the quote can includes or excludes the new baseboard or the 1/4 round trim. Also for some more expensive hardwood with higher profit margin, the vendor can charge less for the installation.
For tiles, installation of the natural stone tile or rectified porcelain tiles with a thinner 1/16" width grout line are going to cost more than the regular non-rectified porcelain tile's 1/8" gout line. Also for floor tiles at 2nd floor, a cement board is needed, which will added up the cost.
-
This is GOLD! Thank you for gathering and sharing! ;D
-
Has anyone ACTUALLY used Connected Heating and Air Conditioning service before? Tried to search their customers' feedback here but can't find any. Not completely trusting their yelp reviews since they are ad sponsor.

For stone work, try Patios by B&B. Jeff Goldman, (888) 502-2616. Highly reputable and doesn't cut corners. Everything done to code. He did my back yard about 4 years ago and everything is still beautiful as day 1. It's important that your brick is sloped properly to prevent water from building up.
They don't use subs and there is always a supervisor at the job site. After the job is done, everything is cleaned up. True professional. If you are looking for the cheapest, it is not Patios by B&B. They stand by their work and have been doing business in Irvine for many years.
If you need a Dryer Vent Cleaning, use Nuflo Dryer Vent Cleaning at 714-231-4326. Had service from Chris for my dryer and it was fantastic. So happy that I used them. Cost is around $130.

Didn't notice this before, but I think for Flooring, Inc should add:
Hardware Flooring Depot
https://www.yelp.com/biz/hardwood-flooring-depot-irvine
I think qwerflooring might have used these guys.
I've been to their location a few times and they keep getting bigger and bigger so they must be doing something right.

Has anyone put epoxy into a 2 car garage? What's rough cost we should be expecting? Builder cost is $2280 which seems high, of course.

About $1,800 give or take $200 on either side depending on vendor.

My brother did it several years ago for $1500. The cost will go up if you have pre-existing coat to remove or if you want to do stem walls too.

Does anyone have a list of GREAT insurance vendors for homes owned under an LLC?

Does anyone have a recommendation on custom glass work? I have some openings in a wall that I want to have glass put in.

Any recommendations on somebody who can refinish a wood garage door. After 5 years of sun/rain, the paint is peeling off and the wood is warped on few corners. Needs refinishing and repaint of the garage door wood panels. Thanks in advance.

Any recommendation for appliance store that has good and careful installation team? I ordered a dishwasher from home depot(it is the ONLY store that has the one I like that is available for delivery in 3 weeks!) but I believe they subcontract their installation to 3rd party company and I've heard all sorts of horror stories on how bad the installation team from home depot. What I care the most is how careful they are during installation, ie, not scratching your cabinets or damage the wood floor when pulling in and out the dish washer, etc... Any insight will be greatly appreciate!
-
Yup, I ordered washer dryer & dishwasher from Home Depot, and they've subcontracted it out to 2 guys that did such a terrible install I told them to take ALL the appliances back. I couldn't recoup the full cost for the damages they've caused either, because that got subcontracted out to some place else that kept insisting on lowballing the cost of repairs.
Lowe's apparently subcontract out as well, so what I ended up doing was separating the purchase from the installation. I bought the appliances from Lowes and asked the delivery guys to just place them in the garage. Then I used a company called Precision Appliance Installation to do the installs. They're pretty careful though not as careful as I would prefer so you'll want to monitor and guide the process, but they're a hell lot better than the Home Depot subcontractors.
Oh, and I believe Lowes has a better appliance return policy than Home Depot. I recommend comparing just in case you need to return the appliances after the delivery for whatever reason
-
What I’ve learned with installation teams is to communicate your expectations on how the install is going to go. You can’t be concerned with how you think they will perceive you. If you have wood floors, how will they protect them, etc.
You can not just assume that they will be careful. If they fuck something up it is a pain to fix.

I've always had good experience with BestBuy both with a built in fridge and 2 pairs of washer dryer with second floor install.

Thanks for the insight. That's a good suggestion.

Never had a problem with Costco appliance purchase, delivery, installation, and return (for an item that failed).
-
I ended up cancelling the installation from Home Depot and only have them deliver to my place and hire this company Installation Pros(https://www.yelp.com/biz/installation-pros-rancho-cucamonga-4) for the installation. They will come next week to install one day after the delivery. There is a shortage on the particular dish washer from Bosch 800 series I am looking for so there isn't any appliance store that will deliver within reasonable time frame so i will keep the order but have it install with someone who has visible reviews on yelp.

Looking for recommendations for a window repair service, wasn't able to find one in the list.

If it's the glass, it should still be under warranty. Look in between the panes near the corners for a printed manufacturer number.
-
It's not the glass, rather the window itself, one is very hard to close (bring it all the way down), the 2nd seems to be something off in the rail (again does not close all the way down).
