Redbeacon

Used service because I wanted to hire a reputable contractor. I was ripped off by contractor. He more than doubled the price after starting project. Had to stop project when almost done to have them do over. Work was so sloppy and they left my house a wreck. Reported to Redbeacon and they still have company on their site.

I am the complaint department at the nation-wide company I work for. I understand what is right and what is wrong completely. I am a very reasonable person and was ripped off. I hired another company to fix the job. So, job cost me triple of what it was suppose to be. Redbeacon has not removed this contractor from referral list. BEWARE! Contractors are not removed after report of poor job. If you could see the pictures of my project I know you would not believe it. Even Home Depot employees were shocked at the pictures of my job.

I hired Martin Figueroa on yesterday to paint my hallway, living room and kitchen. I am so pleased with the work! The whole job was completed in one day to include the kitchen ceiling, baseboards and doors. They moved and protected my furniture, curtains and pictures and put everything back in place after the job was complete. The paint looks great and the price was almost half the other contractors estimate. I will definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone! Thanks again Martin

I went through Home Depot who referred several paint contractors to do our home interior. We decided on Tony Scott painting outfit. We really need someone to help us with color selection and Tony listened to we wanted and help guide us to the right color scheme for us.
He also indicated that he could complete the job in 3 days and could start two days from our first meeting. The Paint crew consisted of three people whom were professionals and got right to work. These guys exceeded our expectations. The job came together whithin 2 1/2 days. Not because they were rushing but worked long hours to get the job done right. Any questions I had were addressed immediatly and to sum it all up. WAY TO GO Tony, Dave and Danny. I highly recommend these guys as we could not be happier with their paint job.

I highly recommend JJL Painting and Decorating for you indoor painting projects. They did a fantastic job in our two story open concept home. Very fast, neat, excellent paint job and pricing was great. Jay was a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable and informative with his services. Couldn't be better. Will be using his company again for our bathroom remodel projects in the winter. Very professional and couldn't be more pleased. Please consider JJL painters over any other in our Schaumburg area. A++++

I reached out to Home Depot/Redbeacon about getting a shower installed. I was told a qualified contractor would reach out to me about an estimate. Wow, about 50-75 unsolicited calls later and I still am getting harassed daily starting as early as 6 am. I have been offered painting, gutter replacement, door repair, fencing, etc. I have asked both Home Depot and Redbeacon to have me taken off their list and no luck yet. Redbeacon has not even responded to any of my emails. Do not trust that this company has your best interest in mind. They will sell you info to as many contractors throughout the US as they can. Stay far away!

I am redoing a kitchen. Israel assessed what I needed, made suggestions, and went above and beyond just the painting job. He saw that the ceiling was painted, switch plates changed, and even switched the handles on my refrigerator so that it was much more convenient. (I didn't realize that could even be done!) I am thrilled with the results! If you want someone who knows what they are doing and is a professional, hire Israel. I only wish I had known about him last year when I hired someone else to paint my living room. Thanks, Israel! LM

It's hard to separate contractor interactions with the actual website itself, but the redbeacon site is a solid tool when looking for pros. I had a bad experience with one of the subs we found through the site and redbeacon was quick to make it right and stood by their guarantee. The website can be a little slow, and get hung up from time to time which is why I took one star off. Overall, as long as they keep growing their database of contractors, they have a great product.

Figueroa's Construction: Steve just finished repairing my dry wall in my laundry room and did an excellent job. There was mole on the wall and he cleaned it beautifully. The repair
Was done so well, I could not tell any difference where it was fixed. Steve also went out of
Way to match the paint. He took a sample of the old dry wall to home depot and although it was not part of the contract, he painted my wall. If you are looking for someone who is dependable and is truly a pro, then Steve is your man.

They do not screen contractors and placed a crooked, unqualified predator in our home. We have been without our only bathroom for 4 months! One month was their crooked unqualified contractor and three months is all them! They are a nightmare to deal with and treat you like you are the problem. First, their contractor destroyed our home (and verified has done so to others.) Literally it was so bad (have pics from day one) their own people had never seen such shoddy work. He was fired. Received estimates from multi contractors to fix (including 2 from Home Depot) all stated what was done was criminal So did the Management at their store.) Second, it took 2 months and threatening to sue to get them to step up. Third, settled only because we were desperate for a working bathroom and not for what we were owed. Fourth, finally promised a check in 10 days, No check sent. Fifth, told oh sorry it was a glitch, we never sent the check but will send it (in another) 10 days. Sixth, check finally showed up, deposited (must wait 5 days for it to clear) and the end of the 4th day they put a stop payment on the check. They were sorry didn't know why must have been a problem. Sent another check; waiting to see if it clears. Still no working bathroom (our only bathroom) since May 12,2016! DO NOT EVER USE THEM find an honest, honorable customer driven company to deal with...

I selected three names from Home Depot who were registered in the Red Beacon program. All three contacted me right away and were given a tour of my house which needed some exterior painting. All were provided a detail of work required. After I received estimates from all applicants, I selected Joel Soto as my choice to do the work. Joel did not disappoint me in any way. He was extremely courteous, professional, prompt, polite. In short, Joel is the epitome of the best of the best. I unreservedly recommend him for any work neededl

I needed a painting contractor to paint the trim on my home and repair any wood damage.
Martin Figueroa and his painting crew were terrific. They arrived on time, worked the entire day, cleaned up after themselves and were professional, courteous and knowledgeable.
After the trim work was finished, I hired Figueroa Painting and More to repair and paint our back yard deck. The work crew repaired the deck to new conditions. I was amazed at the quality of this company's work.
Our experience with this contractor was superb!

Redbeacon doesn't even deserve 1 star but i could not submit the review without choosing at least one star. Still waiting for my money back. I just used Redbeacon a week ago they are horrible even though home depot has bought out Redbeacon they state none of the work is backed by them. Per RedBeacon's website... 1 Pro Skill Profile. Redbeacon requires Pros to post a profile ("Skill Profile") on the Website. Redbeacon does not review or verify the information or representations set forth in those Skill Profiles, as they are self-reported by the Pros. Although Redbeacon may take certain steps to examine the credentials of Pros, Redbeacon makes no guarantees, promises, warranties or representations of any kind regarding the skills or representations of such Pros if you elect to retain their services. If this is the case why is Home Depot referring RedBeacon to the customers... Answer! Because RedBeacon neither Homedepot care about the customers. For sure a post re: RedBeacon, Home Depot contractors and handymen will be posted on my facebook page, with my village and BBB along with the photo of the handyman contractor as a RED FLAG RISK...
