You're going to be scammed with estimates and won't show up. I heard from a source there's multiple lawsuits against them. Never ever go with this terrible company.

I would highly not reccomend this company for your project needs as at least one of their crews does not care about people's personal property.

While they were working on our balcony, my fiance and I saw a member of the crew had attached caution tape for safety reasons to the wall. They also purposely, and we watched them do this, attached and rubbed duct tape on a leather storage container in order to affix one end of the caution tape. There was no reason to do this, as there was plenty of other wall space left to put tape on, and they had attached the other tape to the wall. This storage container was not in any way close to where they were working and was out of the way. Therefore there is no reason in terms of proximity or need, to purposely place and then rub a piece of duct tape on something that was not their property, or touch it all all.

My fiance then approached the crew member and asked them if they had put the duct tape there. The gentleman said yes. My fiance then asked him if he had ripped it off and if he had seen the damaged it caused, and the gentleman said yes. Therefore their crew, and that gentleman in particular, know that they caused damage to the property, and did not say anything to us until my fiance said something. Whether they intentionally did dalmage it or not, they didn't mention it to us, even though they saw us watching them and we saw the whole thing. This is unacceptable.

**Later the foreman of the crew did talk to the property manager of the apartment complex and agreed to compensate me for the value of the property dalmaged, which I appreciate. I also know he was frustrated that the property owner had not put that the workers weren't LIABLE for dalmages in a notice that went out prior to their arrival. Sorry that the foreman forgot to say that their crew can not give to s*#@ about other people's property aka are not *liable*. Darn. Putting duct tape of other people's property that isn't in the way or called for shouldn't be covered under liability. It should be covered under being a considerate decent person.

I live in Terry’s mobile home Park in Chula Vista Inn for the last two months I am Ortega has had cruise in our park digging trenches and preparing for conversion from park owner paying for the SDG&E to residence paying for. This entitles total replacement of all the infrastructure. The following is an article from our newsletter. All of the workers from a A. M. Ortega have treated the senior residents with the utmost care.

We’ve been through a lot in the last few months. We’ve survived the quarantine and escaped the Covid-19 virus, and all the mess of the construction by SDG&E. It seems our lives have been totally disrupted, but the bright spot in all of it has been the interaction with the workers in our streets. These young men have been so accommodating and so kind to all of us. It’s been fun watching them do their precision cutting. They all seem to know exactly what their job is and how to do it. If we needed to get our car out, they’ve accommodated us in every way possible. We owe them a real debt of gratitude because they’ve made a difficult situation bearable.

Someone from this company prints fake checks and send it to people with hopes of receiving fraudulent money in return. I would be very careful receiving any checks from this company.
