Jeronimo Cobian

Our rating has nothing to do with the quality of the finished product. The fence is as specified and was delivered on schedule.
Rather, the rating is based upon two related items: (1) During the installation, a sprinkler system line and the power line to the sprinkler system controls were severed. We learned in the process of this episode that both run directly below the fence line. (2) When told of the damage after it was discovered, Geronimo essentially «played dumb» and refused any responsibility for the breakage.
At first, he tried to feign recollection of the installation, itself. Right after he’d completed the installation, we’d left on a week-​long vacation; so, it was about 9 or 10 days afterwards that we’d discovered the breakage in the lines. Evidently, he forgets jobs within 9 – 10 days of their completion.
When my wife gave him enough cues to make it obvious that he and his men had been involved, he told her that it should have been our responsibility to advise them beforehand that the lines ran parallel to and underneath the fence line.
Really?! The contractor has no responsibility for determining this? He has no responsibility for realizing that he’s severed them once that’s occurred; reporting it to the homeowner, afterwards?
At the time that my wife called him, he made it clear that he didn’t consider it his responsibility to repair the lines.
At that time, we hadn’t received an estimate from our landscaping crew for the cost of repairing the lines. We learned, subsequently, that it would cost $ 200.00 to repair the damage that was caused by Señor Cobian. He’d been so reluctant to admit responsibility that we declined to call him another time; choosing, instead, to incur the additional expense, ourselves.
Geronimo Cobian’s unwillingness to acknowledge his accountability in this situation places him low on our list of contractors. Caveat emptor to those of you who choose to employ him.

Jeronimo is very nice guy. His job was very good and he used very good material.
He replaced soem damaged wood in the trellis in my backyard. He also installed fence posts for by backyard. done very nicely.

I hate reading long drawn out reviews. Here is what my husband and I loved about Jeronimo and his son:
1. He listened to what we wanted.
2. He gave us exactly what we requested.
3. The entire fence was done within 4 days.
4. He gave us the best price in town.
6. He was patient with two indecisive individuals :-)
So if you ask me if I would recommend them, I would recommend them over and over again. Two very sweet father and son duo.

Jeronimo is a fantastic guy. I went looking for someone to replace a 70 feet long and 2 feet tall wooden retaining wall. I got all kinds of quotes. Some insisting I use stone. Some guy wanted an exorbitant amount to do a wooden wall plus taking out some shrubs. Then I found Jeronimo. Unfortunately he doesn’t do general tree service, so I had to split up my job for 2 contractors. Jeronimo’s quote was very reasonable. He originally quoted just to replace the section that was rotting to save me money. But my wife thought it would look weird so we decided to replace the whole wall.
I took a few days to just look around a little bit more, and in the mean time found another great guy to take out a bunch of shrubs against a fence. Finally I decided to call him. We scheduled a time, taking account weather forecast. The job took the entire day from 8am to 5:30pm. He had 2 expert helpers with him. I think they did an excellent job. They hit some irrigation tubes and cables for the sprinklers buried under dirt, but that’s not their fault, I didn’t even know how the tubes ran. In any case, they fixed everything back for me.
Apart from the actual retaining wall work, Jeronimo helped to reinforce some sections of the fence to stop soil erosion into my neighbor, all for free, and using parts of my original wall that were still in good shape.
I would certainly recommend Jeronimo to all my neighbors who think about replacing their retaining walls and fences.
Notes: Jeronimo specializes in fences, retaining walls, decks and patios. Basically wood stuff …

Called Jeronimo as I needed work at the last minute. He was able to come out same day to give an estimate. The next day he started and completed the work. The price was right. Had 5 posts replaced and they did a great job. I would use them again.

Called 3 people I found on Unilocal.Had to leave messages for all three. Jeronimo (or his son Chris) was the first to call back. Jeronimo is a good ol guy who barely speaks English but knows his trade. Chris does most of the talking. Gave me a very fair estimate to do some fence work which included stabilizing some posts, replacing a few missing pieces of fencing, and taking down a 10’ft gate and rebuilding because it was coming loose and falling apart. Hired them a week after getting the bid, and they completed the job in 3 hours a week later. Great work! And I love giving business to local family-​owned businesses!

I’ve used Jeronimo twice now, once in my old house to replace a complete fence and once at my current house to repair a retaining wall and fence. He specializes in wood fences and retaining walls.
Jeronimo and his son, Jeronimo Jr, know what they are doing. They provide written quotations, they show up when they say they will and they get the job done quickly. They do not drag projects on. Their prices have always been quite good. If you want something special, ask them, I am sure they know how to get it done.
