Navajo Contractors, Inc.

Frank & Navajo contractors was recommended to me by my old boss, (who never paid me on time or in full) so I really should’ve been more cautious with his recommendation.
Frank initially delayed the start date of the job, because he said he was «behind on other projects.» Once he finally started, it took much, much longer than anticipated.
He put up a tacky sign in our front lawn, which I politely asked him to take down. I placed it on the side of the house, and when I got back from work the next day, he had put it back on our lawn. Sigh.
They smashed and damaged two of my money tree plants, got paint on two of my favorite stone sculptures, and they left trash everywhere. They even got paint all over my plants and the grass in the front and back yard. I’ve definitely seen more professional jobs.
I also picked out paint chips from Home Depot that I liked, and he didn’t even match the colors that I wanted. The colors came out MUCH lighter than I had expected. He left our fascia boards with primer on them for TWO WEEKS, it looked so horrible.
Following the exterior work, Frank was supposed to come back and install an exhaust fan in our attic. He never did. I kept following up with him about it, and he completely blew me off.
Overall, I think they could’ve had much better communication and a better clean-​up job. Do not recommend.

This is my 3^rd time using Navajo Contractors, with Frank Rodriguez. He has painted my house years ago, then the outside, and now the inside of my house again. He even did my sister’s home in Newport Beach. There was a lot of work to do as well as small details to do. One of the best things about Frank’s company is how he wants to make you happy especially since he knows you were a previous client.
Just a few great points I want to share with you so you can make a sound choice in using Navajo.
1. Their prep work… They make sure that what ever they can cover they will. They are tedious when it comes to that. The floors, furniture, stairs, etc. If they are doing the whole house, I just did, they do ask you to remove things off the wall and to try to put all furnitures in the center of the room. It does take some time to prep and protect your belongings so PLEASE BE PATIENT it will be worth it at the end.
2. Jimmy, who was the main person on the job (supervisor) kept the communication open between us to ensure what was to be done. Frank showed up several times to check on his crew and to make sure I was happy how they were doing.
3. I have an Autistic Son, which Frank remembers, so in order not to disturb him and his area he made sure that when my son was at school his area was tackled first and finished before he came home. Happy Child Happy home… That was accommodating to me and to my son.
4. Lastly, The clean up. They help put all the big items back to its original position, doubled check to make sure all the prep work was in the trash, left me some paint that was used in the house, and whatever mess was made in the front was cleaned and spotless.
If you think that Navajo is expensive, do look around, but remember this that with all they do to make the job — prep– communication– will work with you — clean up… you will be happy with the quality of work and you will come back.
My house looks like I just moved in… New color walls, trim, doors, and new stain on the hand rail.
Now to put everything else back…
Thanks Frank…

Very satisfied repeat customer. We had a five day window to paint the exterior of our house. They power washed, sanded, filled and painted two coats in 4 days. Very professional, on time, clean and neat as well as excellent workmanship.

I take pride in the way my home looks. So when I feel that something needs work I like to get it worked on right away. I’ve had a few bad experiences and some OK experiences with contractors. Till I met Frank Rodriguez (Owner) and his crew. For a few years I have been using his services to update my homes look. To sum up the way I feel about his services in one sentence… I wish i had more money to redo my entire home at once! i love what he does to the appearence of my home and so do the friends and relatives that I have recommended him too, time after time.
He has always been straight foward with me, which is a plus. i have learned to trust his judgement, and his crew. The experience truly is a pleasure, and i recommend it to anyone that is looking to have quality work done to their home.
A TIp to anyone getting work done to their homes. when Frank says take BEFORE pics please do… because once they start, the change is quick. i regret not doing so.

This is my first Unilocal review. I felt so compelled to combat a negative review that was put on Frank’s site that I had to sign up. I have worked with Frank for over 17 years and have completed more than 25 projects. I am in the business of buying and selling homes. The projects I have worked on with him have been as simple as an interior paint job to a complete remodel including kitchens and bathrooms. He is very easy to work with, professional and the projects are completed within a timely manner. One of the things I appreciate most is his creative mind. I sometimes need help on how I can make a home more desirable or should I remove this wall etc. He always has plenty of great ideas. Please feel free to get my phone number from Frank. I can give you plenty of address and/​or answer your questions. You will truly be happy if you use Navajo Contractors.

I have been using Navajo for over 15 years. The jobs have ranged from painting a few rooms to doing a major remodel, which we are currently in the middle of doing. Frank, the owner, is always professional and extremely meticulous with the job. His workers are reliable and hard working. No matter how big or small the job has been, Frank and his workers have always made me feel like my house is priority. I highly recommend Navajo.

My husband and I started using Frank years ago when a fellow Realtor recommended him. Realtors can be some of the best sources for contractors but we can be some of the best critiques too of who to use and who not to use. I felt comfortable with calling Frank since I trusted this Realtors opinion.
Frank gave us a good estimate on the work for our home which was quite extensive. He worked well with our schedule and we were really happy with the results.
Since then, Frank and his very capable and friendly crew, have provided service to numerous clients of mine through the years. When my clients are happy, I’m happy!
We called Frank back to our home this spring to change out ALL the flooring in our home along with some other projects. We now have new hardwood throughout most of our home and love it! It was a very complicated pattern too and one that Franks employee had never done before. However, he was very patient with the process and loved the challenge too. How refreshing is that? We were really concerned about not being able to live in the house during that time but Frank and his crew were able to work with us to keep us in our house over the numerous weeks it took to complete the projects since we didn’t want to go to a hotel and there was no time for a vacation.
I think one of the most important things about hiring any contractor is good communication and to make it clear in advance what you want and need and to be sure to communicate along the way.

This is the fourth time I have used Navajo Contractors to paint our home. They are my set painting contractors that I call on each time I need work done. They painted our former home both inside and out. We moved in December of 2012 to a new home. The inside was in need painting and updating. I called Frank Rodriquez, the owner, to get an estimate since our home was twice the size of our former home. Frank has always been fair on his pricing. I trust him tremendously and know he is not over pricing. As expected, the price was fair. His team came in two weeks later and did all of the prep work to protect the house. It was a big job, so they were here for at least two weeks painting every room. Frank’s team was very clean and courteous. They worked with us on planning what sections of the house was going to be painted first since we were still staying in the house during the work. Frank checked in very often to see how things were going. If I had a question about what was being done, he was quick to explain or offer suggestions. In the end, the job came out great as usual and expected. I plan to call him back in another year or two to paint the exterior. I highly recommend Navajo Contractor’s services. I have referred them to other friends and family who have had equally great experiences. You will not be disappointed.
