Working for one of San Diego's largest property management companies we are always on the lookout for vendors that are competent and do quality work for our owners. CalSpec has been doing work for us for just about 3 years and I have found that I need to look no further when it comes to getting multiple bids as they always beat the other vendors that bid the jobs and their work is done in a timely manner and done to perfection. I have never had to have them go back out to complete work or repair a mistake. They are honest and would recommend them to anyone looking to hire a contractor.
