SCCCI Construction can not be trusted.

Details below but specifics aside, it comes down to this…. At a project cost of 60k, SCCCI would not own up to their obvious mistakes and rectify them. The fact they would ruin a relationship for under $1000 is ridiculous and very bad for business. Regardless of a projects costs, quality, responsibility and fair customer service should not be asked but required.

I hired SCCCI to do a 60k exterior remodel. They are refusing to pay $450 for the over spray paint damage to my truck.

I have grown extremely frustrated with SCCCI Construction. I hired this company to do a complete siding replacement, cool life paint and windows. Though initially the relationship started out fine at the end of the project some issues arose that has dissolved my trust in this company.

During either the demo or the installation of the siding a bathroom window was broken and the framing around the window was pushed into the bathroom interior several inches. Due to the placement of these windows, behind my shower curtain, I did not immediately notice the damage. When I brought this to the attention of SCCCI they agreed to repair the interior framing (picts) but would not replace the window without a $300 labor charge. Since I was not the one to break the window, I did not feel like I was responsible for any charges. The repair work on the frames seemed rushed to say the least and my window was not replaced. Moving on.

At one point during paint inspection when I pointed out what seemed to obviously need another coat I was told “it was an aesthetic decision” on my part. I am sorry, but it either needs another coat or it doesn’t, maybe I am nitpicking.
The worst grievance occurred when some how, paint over spray ended up on my truck and roof rack. I pointed this out to the painter and he and I tried to get as much as we could off the truck. I also showed pictures to the management and was told to “take it to a detailer and send them the bill”. In hindsight, I should have done this but I took it upon myself to try to get the paint off. When I could not get it all off, I informed SCCCI, who were initially very understanding. However, when it came to actually rectifying their mistake SCCCI fell well short. I was initially offered $200 and SCCCI requested I get three independent quotes from detailers for the over spray removal. I went around town and found three quotes which ranged from $650 to $450. SCCCI finally agreed on the $450 quote but with the stipulation that I “never bring this up in the future.” That seemed odd to me. I am not usually signing off on jobs before they even begin. I agreed to never bring the issue up again if they would cut the check on a certain Friday. NO check. After several unanswered emails asking if the check was sent I reached out to the owner. After much back and forth and me describing how this would not look good for the company I learned that the check was never sent. On top of that I learned that The SCCCI team considered paying for the detailing of my truck as “good customer service” and never accepted responsibility for painting my truck. Either, the painter and I imagined it, Mike forgot the picts I showed him and the other foreman, and all these picts (attached) are fake or the damage was done. The bottom line is, they painted my truck and now are not accepting responsibility and do not intend on paying for the damage.

It’s is a shame. I genuinely liked the crew. However, the way management handled problems such as my bathroom window and truck overspray issue among other things, was just plain wrong.

SCCCI is very attentive when they are waiting on checks. Not so much when they have to move onto another job. In addition, I had to repeatedly ask for and wait many months to receive my warranty information. I never even saw the original people I met with again, not even to do a final walk through. I can not recommend SCCCI. BUYER BEWARE.

Communication was great at the beginning, before we paid. Once the job started, it took forever to complete. Redid our front yard and within days, the irrigation for the plants rose up and stuck out, half my plants died due to poor landscaping and our decomposed granite which was poured was too little and poorly done as well. Took them months to finish our porch tiles and electrical work. Such a shame since they were so friendly but now I know that it was just a ploy to get us to sign a contract. Will never use them or refer. Heard that they’re now operating under Eclipse Construction Inc. Stay far away.

My experience with SCCCI was good from start to finish. The prep work they did was amazing, the two painters worked hard and timely in one of the hottest periods we've had this summer and everything that had to be protected was efficiently covered in plastic They even covered my neighbor's car as it was a little windy and they were worried that some paint may drift that way. They were polite and willing and kept in close contact if they were delayed, so that I knew when they would be coming.
I needed a little wood replaced because of dry rot and the carpenters came when arranged and were also very efficient so they did not delay the painting in any way.
If I had to call the office for any reason, the staff were polite and a joy to work with. So helpful.
My house looks amazing, everything was left clean and tidy and I will happily refer this excellent company.

After months of searching for a company to repair and remodel my bathrooms due to water damage, I noticed a guy wearing an SCCCI shirt at my local exhaust shop. so I asked him if they do bathroom remodels. He got me in contact with Mike, the main boss. I spoke with Mike briefly and he was at my house the same day to provide a detailed walk through and estimate. Talk about a rapid response time. He went the extra mile to correspond with my home owners insurance adjuster to expedite the funding process. He assigned my project to Roee and his brother Omer. They were honestly the glue that kept the project together when things didn’t go according to plan or when there were miscommunications. They were awesome to say the least. At the end of the day Mike at SCCCI is trustworthy, respectful, prompt, and dependable through and through and he addressed all my concerns. That statement is even more amplified when he ultimately decided to absorb certain costs that would otherwise be applicable per our contractual agreement. Customer service is everything and SCCCi gets it. I’m a happy camper and my bathrooms are beautiful!

They were extremely flexible with my financial situation and wanted to do anything they could to help me afford it and to get it all done in one go. I had them fully restore the exterior of my house, give it a full coating of the CoolLife reflective coat, spray insulation in the attic and all the exterior walls, replace roof fascia, repair/stain the backdoor, replace our water heater door, replace our back gate, and repair all of the windows. They worked very quickly, efficiently, and left no detail unattended. They simply blew me away by meeting and exceeding my standards for quality. They even did a phenomenal job masking everything, including the cars in the driveway to ensure they don't get any paint on them from overspray. I am very satisfied with the work SCCCI did and am looking forward to using them for a future kitchen remodel and replacement of my back fence. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a solid contractor who will treat you like family and make sure you're taken care of. If anything isn't up to your liking, they will immediately handle the situation for you... even if its a quality issue down the road, for peace of mind... although it doesn't look like I'll need to take them up on that, since they did the job perfect the first time!

We highly recommend Southern California Construction Consultants, Inc, (SCCCI) for work needed around your home. We discussed our vision and SCCCI made it a reality.

The front of our home had 50 year old river rock and old wood siding which they removed. They insulated walls, added new vinyl windows, and beautiful African mahogany front doors. They even built out my bay window. The entire exterior of our home was painted with new stucco. Our home was transformed to the modern day.

The best part of the process was how the workers felt like family. SCCCI has many resources, and they all performed to the same standard. I was informed what to expect each day, the communication was wonderful. Each day our home was cleaned, it never looked like a job site when they left for the day.

From the moment we met the owner Larry, to the day of completion, we never regretted our decision to use SCCCI. We received a good value for the money we spent.

Thank you to the entire SCCCI family, we enjoyed the experience!

We recently hired SCCCI for a project to have our flat roof redone and add ventilation and electrical work on our nursery room. From the start, we found the owner, Mike Litberg to be very personable, knowledgeable and competitive in his pricing. I have to say, we've been completely thrilled with the results of working with SCCCI on our home. They did an excellent job and even went above and beyond on other projects that arose at no additional charge. Their communication throughout the project was top notch and we felt very comfortable with them during the whole experience. Not only would I hire SCCCI again, but I would also strongly recommend them to anyone.

I was very happy to have hired SCCI to paint the exterior of our home. I met with Dann to choose colors/finishes and it was very apparent he knows the business well. He made suggestions that I would have not of thought of otherwise and I was very happy with the way everything turned out. The crew was timely and professional, and carefully cleaned each day of the project. No touch-ups were needed and people who come over always compliment the colors and clean lines. Thank you for a great job and experience! I highly recommend them and i will be using them again when i paint the interior of my house.
