    Exterior Painter Recommedations

    3-High was a bust, left 2 messages with the person that answered the phone and never received any calls back. In the end, I just hired a handyman that I knew from Irvine Pacific who took care of the wood surfaces just to get off the HOA report. The Association recommended Northcott Painting...

    Exterior Painter Recommedations

    Thank you!  Yes, I read that thread and just wanted to make sure nothing has changed.  Xenak was on the list and what was weird was the doubt Martha had when she was in my backyard.  I did some more investigation on YELP and it seems she will take pictures and contract the job out to other...

    Exterior Painter Recommedations

    I got vague notice from our HOA regarding painting.  it's been 10 years since so I will bite the bullet and do the entire house.  HOA claims it might be just the wood like shutter, garage door, or front door.  This sounds like a set up because I know in 1 year, they will ask me to paint the...

    Cox vs Uverse internet service 2019

    Love the service from Cox, hate their pricing. After the honeymoon period is over, they jack up the prices really fast. They are counting on you to be lazy and not switch. You need phone, internet, and cable to get the best pricing. The phone is a $30 gift I give them each month but they don?t...

    Water Softener and Filter System

    My home was pre-plumb and I paid about $2740 for 2 tanks and RO in kitchen. Paid via credit card, the $40 was a tip because the install 2 guys came Friday afternoon and had a long drive home at 6pm to Riverside so I wanted to buy them dinner to avoid the traffic. Didn?t negotiate because it...

    Water Softener and Filter System

    Diamond Pure is the way to go.  Just had my follow up appointment with them and I posted an update in the other thread for continuation purposes.  Each home is different depending on what you need and where you want it installed. Call them for a free no risk quote.  They have good reviews on...

    Water Filtration System

    Posting and update here about Diamond Pure.  It's been almost 1 year since my system was installed.  No issues.  I got a post card in the mail that reminded me it was time for a check up.  I called them and they came the same week because once of their techs was in the area.  I would have been...

    Ziegler Doors Business practice

    Since I bought my home in Stonegate 4 years ago, I have always invited back Ziegler to tune up the garage doors each year. The charge runs from 120-150. The first year, they took apart everything because the alignment was off and he told me the guy that did this originally was no longer with...

    Water Filtration System

    Hands down, Diamond Pure is the way to go.  Two tanks plus R/O under the sink for under $3000.  Our house was pre-plumb for water softener.  Experience was super and those 5 star reviews on Yelp are true. Met Phil on Wednesday and the installation was scheduled on Friday.  No upsell.  In fact...

    Water Filtration System

    I just contacted Diamond Pure.  Will let you guys how the appointment goes.  My plumber gave me a brochure for Flo-tech but I am not convinced it does the job.  They also promise to give me a quote in 2 days so he must have forgot, guess you don't really want the business.  The main selling...

    Contractors for Backyard

    For brickwork and design, Patios By B&B.  Family run business.  Jeff Goldman is legit.  (888) 502-2616.  They are not the cheapest, they just do the job correctly the first time.  He did my yard 4 years ago and I am still happy.

    List of Contractors and Vendors

    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...

    Cambria @ Stonegate Grand Opening on Jan. 26th

    Went to Cambria today on my way back home from Home Depot.  I can't believe the HOA is $288 per month.  You pay $110 per month to be part of the Stinkgate Community Association (who doesn't do jack about the people that leave out their trash bins until Saturday).  Trash day is Wednesday. Then...

    Anyone knows what happened to Tim Lou from express windows??

    Police report?  I think we need to call in some hard hitting pipe welding brothas and get a blow torch and a pair of pliers.  It's time to get medieval on Tim Lou.

    Cambria @ Stonegate Grand Opening on Jan. 26th

    Not only is IP known for quality workmanship, they can also control the weather.  They gave away info bags with 2 chick-fil-a breakfast coupons.  Brownie, water, and hot chocolate bar. Hop Scotch covered tent that was wet for the kids.  What if Residence 2 and Residence 3 of San Mateo decided...

    Cambria @ Stonegate Grand Opening on Jan. 26th

    I thought you were kidding about the hopscotch and the hot chocolate.  How cheap!  I was hoping for a free cookie and soda so I can offer them to my guests when they visit me.  Hopefully, the hot chocolate doesn't back fire and end up on their nice staged town homes.  >:D Just visit the model...

    Cambria @ Stonegate Grand Opening on Jan. 26th

    They copied this model from Lexus.  You got into the Lexus dealership looking for a RX, ES, or GS.  Then realize that it's all out of your price range.  Instead of walking out empty handed, you are sold an IS. San Mateo is selling like hotcakes.  Do you know what that means?  It means that we...
