What Our Clients Say
The trust our clients place in us is something we never take for granted. Here are a few words from homeowners who have trusted RCS Pro Build with their homes.
"I've completed two large projects with Ismael, and I can confidently recommend him. He's professional, communicates consistently, and even responds to texts late into the evening. He focuses on quality workmanship and is quick to address any issues that arise. His team works hard, his pricing is fair, and he has a true get-it-done mentality. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again."
— Jason S.
"RCS Pro Build did an outstanding job remodeling our master bathroom. They even connected us with a wholesaler to help us choose our tile, fixtures, vanity, and bathtub. Their pricing was competitive, they were reliable and punctual, and they stayed on schedule throughout the project. They're now working on our second bathroom and a room addition. You'll be extremely satisfied if you choose RCS Pro Build for your next project."
— Larry B.
"Efficient, professional, and accommodating. RCS Pro Build exceeded our expectations when we wanted to build a patio in our backyard. Ismael was wonderful to work with and offered practical options that added value to the project. He also completed an additional installation unrelated to the original job in a timely manner. We highly recommend RCS Pro Build and will definitely work with them again."
— Daniel A.
"This review is long overdue, but I wanted to give RCS Pro Build the credit they deserve. Ismael and his father are honest, hardworking professionals. They were communicative, punctual, and kept a clean job site throughout our entire remodel. Those qualities are becoming harder to find these days. More than a year later, we're still impressed with the quality of their work. Thank you, Ish!"
— Jon N.
"Ismael and his team built a covered porch and patio at the front of our home, and the finished result exceeded our expectations. He communicated with us every step of the way and took the design sketches we had drawn on paper and turned them into reality. His attention to detail stood out, and he addressed every concern we had throughout the project. We couldn't be happier with the final result."
— Jason S.
"Ismael recently installed a deck at our home, and he did a fantastic job. He was professional, completed the project on time and within budget, communicated clearly throughout the process, and delivered workmanship of a very high standard. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable contractor."
— Kate W.
"After more than 50 years of investing in real estate, I've worked with many builders, both good and bad. Entrusting RCS Pro Build to renovate my La Jolla home turned out to be an excellent decision. Ismael and his team demonstrate the qualities every great builder should have: skill, reliability, honesty, and genuine care for their clients. They listen carefully, provide thoughtful recommendations, and keep the client's best interests at the center of every decision. The billing was clear and fair, and the overall experience was outstanding."
