California Showcase Construction

Really frustrating this company had a couple field marketers out in my neighborhood going door to door. Tyran chose not to read my sign by the doorbell that says please don't ring the doorbell. Instead he did which caused my dog to bark and wake my newborn, needless to say I was not happy. Our community page had several people that said they had something similar happen to them. To be honest the last thing I'm going to do is patronize a business that can't even respect people's wishes

When going door to door, a representative from this company ignored the sign (or can't read) covering the doorbell saying not to ring it because the BABY IS SLEEPING. What part of that did they not understand? Naptime is sacred and they completely ruined it.

I do not know about their work/product - BUT! COMMUNICATION WITH THE CLIENT- VERY VERY BAD!
I spoke with ( door to door) agent. I have asked for quote ( I stressed - QUOTE ONLY) FOR ROOF AND OUTSIDE PAINT.
Give my contact number/address.
Following Monday I got phone call to schedule ( I am guessing) sales visit to get my quote? We scheduled visit for following Wednesday. Also I was told that my wife had to be there ????? I questioned it, they insisted that it is their policy????? TO GET A QUOTE!!! well I had no problem with that - still STRANGE BUT - I AGREE.
Tuesday I got call again, and I was TOLD that my daughter ( she lives at home with us) must be present ????? When I questioned what my daughter got to do with getting a quote for a job.
After ""strange"" conversation, I try to find out the reasoning! of my 2 whole family being present to get quote??!!
The man told me that they will not come to do the quote!!!
Well not big loss to me.
They should go to learn to do business!!!!!
Or maybe they doing good ( which I doubt since they going ""door to door"") SINCE THE ""TURNING AWAY POTENTIALS CUSTOMERS!!!

If I could give negative or zero stars, I would. Find another contractor, no run, they are horrible and completely unprofessional!! Here's our story: In 2016 a salesman named Joshua knocked on our door, claiming to have a fabulous product that could reduce our energy costs by up to 40%. Well of course this peeked our interest, so my husband invited him in. The product he claimed was so great was Tex-cote. So it was sold to us under the H.E.R.O. program because of the so called energy efficiency. Under the HERO program (SCAM PROGRAM) the contractor is paid by the federal government after the work is complete. You pay the cost in your property taxes each month, until the amount is paid in full, allowing you to right off those taxes on your federal income taxes. There was no money upfront. They would remove all the old stucco and replace with this wonder product called Tex-cote, in which Joshua stated this product consisted of thousands of glass particles in the paint and when the sun hit the paint, the glass particles would defect the sun rays not allowing any heat to be absorb into the wall, thus reducing your energy costs. Sounds great huh???
Their crew showed up, blasted all the old stucco, applied the primer, then the ""wonder"" paint Tex-cote. This process took a several weeks. I loved the new color and trim of our house. But noticed there was not a significant reduction in our utilities costs. Then 3 months after completion of the project, the stucco was peeling and lifting, and left a large crack in the wall. My husband called their foreman a couple of times and left and message and the call was never returned. Months went by because I wanted to see if my utilities would see a change. I called the utility company and asked for the previous 12 months before the application of Tex-cote and the 12 months after. Well to my surprise, there was a increase in my bill 7 out of the 12 months. There clearly was no change, but an increase. Not seeing a change in my utility bill and being blown off by the foreman, we decided to file a complaint with the California Contractors Board.
It took filing a complaint that got their attention and we were able to finally meet the owner of California Showcase, Brian Jones. Him, his foreman, and the office manager made an appointment to come see the crack, and immediately Brian Jones starts playing the blame game. He states, ""whoever installed the window did not install it correctly,"" also stating, ""the window is bowed."" After paying close to $24,000 for a glorified paint job, you would think Mr. Jones would do whatever possible to make sure he had a satisfied customer. But NO!! Then the foreman walks over to the other side of house and states the stucco is cracking in another area where a new window was installed. It was a crack that you could barely see and after having 2 different reputable general contractors look at it they both stated it is going to crack because its a ""cold joint."" But Mr. Jones in his arrogance again states ""you had butchers work on your house."" My husband is very upset at this point and raises his voice, and Jones states, ""I won't stand here and get yelled at,"" and storms off and ends up on our driveway. My husband still upset continues to raise is voice, and Jones states, ""you yell at me again, its going to get ugly."" Really, so unprofessional, what Mr. Jones didn't realize is my husband is a former Marine and martial artist, so if anything was going to get ugly it would have been Brian Jones' face. You challenge customers to a physical altercation, Brian Jones is a JERK!!
The 2 other contractors we spoke with stated the Tex-cote is a joke and they would never use it. Another paint contractor we also spoke with stated if there were millions glass particles in the paint, it would eventually clog up the sprayers. If there was a issue about the installation of the windows, why was it not addressed in the beginning?

I'm tired of them coming to my house and bothering me. Im trying to work on a project and the guy hovers over me asking me questions that I didn't ask for. Im busy cant you see!! If I want something Ill come to you. The last time I was actually working under my truck and the girl sees Im busy. She sits cross legged on my garage floor asking me questions. They are always in my neighborhood. Some van drops them off like a swat team or something. Leave me alone!! Very aggressive and I dont like that!

Replaced 25 windows in less than a day. Mike and the entire team were terrific. I was a bit skeptical that they would get it all done in a single day, but they completed the process very efficiently. Two teams of 5 men - one for each floor.

Our new windows look great and I'm looking forward to the energy savings and other benefits. Very happy with the installation. I appreciate the extra care they took to trim the frames so as not to overlap the wooden trim around the windows.

I would highly recommend California Showcase Construction to anyone considering new replacement windows.

California Showcase did an amazing job of installing our new energy efficient windows today. The crew was friendly efficient and a pleasure to have in our home. They didn't even complain when they had to redo some of the caulking When our two-year-old stuck her fingers in it before it dried. I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking to replace their Windows with energy efficient windows at a great price. Everyone from the office staff to the completion crew was a pleasure to work with. I look forward to doing more business with California showcase to improve our home. Thank you Brian for a wonderful experience sincerely Laura Fraser

We hired California Showcase to replace all of our windows several years ago and they did a great job. Years later we decided we wanted to change 2 of the windows so we called them back and after finding out they also work with Stucco we decided to get the entire house refinished too. Laz's team came out with Angel at the helm and as expected they did a fantastic job again. It was an extremely large job and required several weeks to finish but everyone always arrived on time, were extremely nice and never left a mess at the end of the day. They are reasonably priced and they will always be my first call when I decide to have more work done!!

Just agreed to a patio cover installation. Joshua Smith was the sales representative and did a great job in presenting the whole picture for the job to be done. There was no sales pressure and he had a great sense of humor. If the job turns out to be as good as advertised, we should be very pleased. Will keep you up to date when the job is completed.

Just had 9 Anlin windows and a slider put in by California Showcase. Wonderful company! Our sales person Josh was able to answer all of our questions and his demonstration was very informative. He was a class act all the way around. Then the owner Bryan came out and did all the measurements and answered more questions for us. Then the crew came out....wonderful workers. They were very polite and friendly, even cleaned up thoroughly after themselves. They made sure I knew how everything worked. After they left, I found one little issue and called the company....the crew turned around and drove back to my house and fixed it. I couldn't ask for better!!! And a happy 50th to Joey...you deserve a great birthday! :)

The ONLY thing I would say needs work for this company would be the door to door sales lady. She was really weird. She told me all about her boyfriend's house, her grandmother's house, everything she had on her mind came out of her mouth that day. We REALLY wanted to get a quote for windows....if we really hadn't wanted to get the quote....she would have been enough to have made us not use this company. Someone needs to tell her that less is more.

But we are pleased enough with this company that we can ignore the door to door lady and still give them 5 stars. Thank you for a great job!
