David Aragon was the manager in charge of our project. I would give his customer service six stars if that were an option. The employees who plowed our driveway were conscientious and professional. I would definitely use them again.

Never even made it to the job to determine if theyre good at what they claim because the initial process was so bad. I had to repeatedly confirm my appointment, as I was sent notifications for several different times. When the time was finally confirmed, turns out they assigned the wrong address to my account. The estimator missed our appointment because they were sent to the other side of the city. The estimator was nice and apologetic and assured me the job could be quickly scheduled and accomplished. Because this was a time sensitive repair and it seemed like a honest mistake, I agreed.

The back and forth with their office in order to get a schedule set led nowhere. They were not transparent about what the hold up was or when I might get an appointment. Everyone is very nice, but it feels like there is zero coordination or communication. It was like talking to automated systems every step of the way. After bothering them quite a bit, I was finally told a date that would work "weather permitting". I agreed to the date, but never got any other info, follow-up, or confirmation that they would actually begin that day. Then I woke up to missed calls and texts. Apparently they sent their crew to do the job despite having no information on when they should show up or how to get inside. The calls and texts were to express their absolute confusion over having sent their crew to... The wrong address. And upon realizing my actual address, they told me they dont have employees able to service my area. I waited weeks for them to make this happen, and after already having gotten it wrong and wasted a day of their time and mine, they went ahead and sent a crew to a random house.

At this point, I told them this was unacceptable, that my repair was time sensitive and I was already behind. I asked for my money back and I went to a different contractor. In response, they continued to be be very nice and said they COULD actually get a crew to me the following day and to give them another chance. I politely declined, because the second contractor had already shown up and completed the job within 24hrs. I got no response because by now it was new years eve. So I sent a follow up, and got another long response asking if they could just apply the the total to another service. This felt like a desperate attempt to keep my money and I was tired of the lies. I told them I wasnt going to fight for the money, but I would be reporting the experience to the BBB and posting a review. This was when they backed down, clarified they didnt intend to keep my money, and sent me to the owner to process the refund. At this point I had already rated the company 1 star and began writing a review. This owner was also nice and apologetic, sent the money, and then asked me to consider removing the 1 star.

I never finished writing the review, because I was happy to have gotten my money back and decided to let it go. I actually forgot about the star. And then the calls and texts came through. The office didnt understand the review, didnt seem to know who I was, and wanted to find out what happened. Then came the estimator, expressing his apology for the confusion and asking me to consider them in the future. I would never. And now today, over a month after this insanity began, I got another call and another text. So I called and told the woman who answered that I was being contacted and to please stop. She told me she didnt know what I was talking about. I told her ok thats fine, Ill contact the owner about it. Assuming this man would have the power to communicate with his employees, I explained what happened, told him not to contact me again, and that if I got any more communication from his company that I would post, in full, what happened. This man had the audacity to send me back a picture of his screen with my (otherwise blank) 1 star review on it "So it looks like the review is still up"

So here I am, following through on what I said (must be a new concept to them), and giving that star some well deserved context.

We had an excellent experience with Blue Collar Scholars installing a set of ikea cabinets in our kitchen. We went with them instead of the ikea installers because BCS did demo and all needed plumbing (minor, like detaching and reattaching the sink and dishwasher) and ikea wouldn't, for comparable prices. We're so glad we went with them. Roberto and his crew were fantastic at every step of the process. When any functional or aesthetic questions came up, they clearly explained our options and their recommendations. There was no upsell, though we did decide to add on a few tasks based on issues we only saw once the old cabinets were removed. Even though this was a small job compared to big custom kitchens, it really felt like they cared about the quality of the work and how happy we would be with the resulting kitchen. Also, all of the company stuff were lovely to communicate with and very responsive. Would definitely strongly recommend the company and would hire them for future work.

Has been handling property management for our commercial/ residential property since 2015.

I've always dealt with the same crews and this outfit is like a one stop shop.

They take care of our landscaping, hardscaping, decking, fencing driveway repairs, drainage, waterproofing (those terrible summer rains!!!), interior/ exterior painting, plumbing, drywall and even handle interior alterations when permits are needed.

They recently asked how we liked their company and I decided to let the whole world know here on google!

Happy 2026 everyone and go Blue Collar Scholars!!! :)

Had bad experience with them relocating washer/dryer. Poor communication and below average work being done. They just finish the work under contract and can’t reach them after they get your money. They put the washer box in the same height as the dryer outlet and their fix was to put 90 elbows to clear the water hose. They were gonna charge us more to fix it. Will not recommend

Blue Collar Scholars completed a yard drainage project for me including and open river swale to divert surface water away from house. They were on-time, on-budget, professional and thorough. Great work!
