My experience with Hugo at Four A's was horrible. In December 2021, San Diego had a huge storm and I noticed that the roof in my recently purchased house was leaking in a couple spots. I immediately went on Thumbtack to find someone who would come out to my house quickly and patch to avoid any further water damage coming into my roof. Four A's has great reviews and was willing to come out right away. Hugo showed up the very next day and told me that I had two options: I could ""patch"" the roof in the places needed to ensure that leak would be fixed for $400, or I could completely replace the roof in the area where he believed the leak was coming from for $1,200 (more on this later). His reasoning was that the roof was not done correctly and needed to be redone.

Knowing that there was rain coming again and needing a quick fix, I agreed to the quick ""patch"" option. I assumed patching meant new shingles, but only in the area that actually was leaking. I didn't validate that with Hugo, which I should have. The very next day one of his employees showed up, spent an hour slathering some mastic on the roof and told me that I would ""need a roof very soon"" and told men to reach out to Hugo for a quote, then left. After I actually looked at the repair on the roof, I realized that they dumped mastic in the wrong spot on the roof that wasn't even leaking, not even close to where I showed him where the leak was, and left this horribly ugly tar behind.

When I reached out to Hugo, he basically said that it was my fault that I chose to patch the area:
""Look Shane, no one is taking advantage, I was very detail in my explanation when I told you that we can replace the whole thing or just patch it. I understand that it doesn't look great so I'm giving you a break I'm going back and replacing them for you so no that's not the exact same price that I would've charged you the first time I had told you that I usually charge around $1200 to replace all the ridge cap"".

He offered to cut me a break, and to come out and do the job correctly by replacing the shingles for another $400. His justification was that $800 is still cheaper than the $1,200 he originally quoted me. The ridge cap wasn't even leaking in the first place and should have never been touched. He should have been able to see this when I took him into the attic and showed him where the water was clearly penetrating. There is no attic access to where the ridge cap is located, so there was no reason to believe that it was leaking from that area.

So I called two other reputable roofing companies, and both were blown away when I told them this story. The two quotes I received were in the $400-$500 range to replace the shingles that Four A's ruined and patch the actual leaking area with new shingles. Both said that mastic should have never been used in this scenario. Both companies also stated that I did not need a new roof, and that I was being sold on an expensive services because it puts more money in the Four A's pocket. Turns out the leaks were coming from an easy area on both sides of the roof that was a very quick and easy fix. Neither area that I showed Hugo was actually fixed by this repair.

I reached out to Hugo asking for a $200 refund offering to let him keep the remaining $200 for his time, but he never replied.

Giving 2 stars due to their quick turnaround, but otherwise I would stay far away from Hugo and his company.

I hired Hugo Uribe to remodel my bathroom after damage from a sewer pipe break. He said he would review the claim adjuster's estimate and send an email requesting reconsideration of the amount allowed for the shower. He told me a dozen times that he had done the email or he was going to do it. He was paid in full and to this day three months later he is still lying to me about it. Very unprofessional. He cannot be trusted to do what he said he would do.

Hugo and his crew were all great, Hugo gave a very competitive bid and started the work right away. Everyone was very respectful and I am happy with the fence and roof work they completed for me. I will definitely use again and recommend Four A's.

I've hired Hugo twice now, and he's professional, timely and precise. He does what he says and says what he does. This is rare now; and as such, I very much appreciate it. His employees also are hard working people of integrity. They show up when they say they will, and they do the work. I Cannot recommend this company enough and am glad to have them in the neighborhood!!

Hugo did a great job repairing my roof - the best part is that when there was still a slight leak, he returned to check it and did a small touch-up at no expense to me. He stands behind his work and does a terrific job!

Hugo and crew did an amazing job on my house, just before sale! Hugo and his company worked with me years ago on other homes and always did everything with excellence. This time was no different! They totally changed my backyard and fences and made it look brand new, completely redid my kitchen in significant ways for a very reasonable cost, and also installed new flooring and painting and so much touch-up work all around the house. They were fantastic and timely and I can't tell them thank you enough!

I am happy to be a live reference for anyone looking for someone who can completely transform their home, like mine.

BTW, here are a couple links that show you the finished home (2nd one is funny and also features my awesome real estate agents):

I was referred to Four A's remodeling by a few friends who loved their work. We did a kitchen remodel and were very impressed with the work. Hugo came and gave us a quote and a timeline that we were very happy with. They were very professional, reliable and respectful of the timeline as we were still utilizing the kitchen around the work being done. We have recommended them to others in our neighborhood and I highly recommend that you reach out to Four A's for your remodeling project.

I used Four A's for a total remodel on my rental property in north park. After having the same renter in my property for almost 12 yrs, i finally got the keys to find that the entire place need to be redone. Hugo came by and did a complete walk thru explaining what it would take to get things done the right way. He worked with me and my girlfriend on ALL the details small and big to make sure we were constantly aware of what was happening and where the project was at all times. They were very timely, cost effective and reliable!!! I would recommended them to anyone who is looking for honest hard work an a quality end product.
