Ramon Garcia Plastering

We had an exterior stucco job. Ramon is amicable and conscientious. His crew was on time and he called for any necessary rescheduling. The crew took care in prep and cleanup. The job was detail oriented and he did not let us down. They do very good work and were able to produce the finish that we agreed upon. I am now thinking of having them do our interior.

One fine morning during a day off… Mr. Garcia literally just came to my apartment door, knocked and just said, without identifying who he is, «MOVE YOUR CAR, WE HAVE TO WORK!!!» without any please, thank you, or anything. No prior notice was given of the esteemed Mr. Garcia gracing our presence. I then went down to move then car and I told him that was really rude coming to the door without any identification or anything denoting that he was to work on the site. Mr. Garcia proceeds to tell me that I was overreacting… wow not only is Mr. Garcia a rude person, he is also an expert in telling people that they are overreacting. I would have given a negative 100 stars but Unilocal wouldn’t let me.

Actually, the name of the business is Textura, and Ramon Garcia, the principal, is a magician in the arts of exterior stucco and interior plaster. I was referred to him by a painter who threw up her (very skilled) hands at prepping and painting the exterior of an old stucco house I bought in Berkeley. Ramon came by, assessed the situation (old stucco with an improperly applied top coating), recommended a solution, gave me a bid, and supervised his crew in doing the work with skill and high craft. His bid was significantly lower than another stucco expert I found on Unilocal.He was a dream to work with — easy to communicate with, quick to return calls, skillful at fielding questions and concerns. The results are a dream. I cannot recommend him (and his crew) highly enough. Two general contractors I spoke to seeking references said he was «the best,» and I agree!
