4.9 stars from 127 verified LA homeowners

4.9 / 5.0 across 127 reviews is what happens when one in-house crew delivers every project under a single contractor's license. There's no broker layer to deflect blame to a sub. There's no "different crew handled that one." If a project goes sideways, Israel Acquino hears about it, and Israel Acquino is the person who fixes it.

Most outdoor contractors with hundreds of projects average 4.4 – 4.7 stars. The half-star delta between 4.5 and 4.9 is almost entirely about whether the same crew finishes every project the same way. Red Stag's crew has been substantively the same team since 2014 — we've added two PMs and one senior carpenter, but the core seven people who build the work have been together for over a decade.

We've never paid for review placement, never used a third-party review-management service that filters negative feedback before it goes public, and never edited a review before posting. Our 4.9 average reflects roughly 600 completed projects, of which a non-trivial number were challenging — coastal salt-fog rebuilds, post-fire re-construction, multi-HOA-jurisdiction estates, and full-yard transformations involving four other contractors. The reviews are the reviews.
