Bernade and his team were amazing. We asked for a smooth finish and it turned out beautifully. The color and smooth texture were even better than I had imagined. Bernade emphasized the importance of proper waterproofing and worked closely with our carpenter on waterproofing all our windows prior to even beginning his work. He went above any beyond to protect our home from any potential leaks even prior and during his work. A very honest, hardworking and wonderful person to work with.
Bernade and his crew take pride in their work and the results show it. I highly recommend Metamorphic Plastering to anyone wanting to do stucco.
Thank you for your beautiful work !!
We love it !!

We are extremely happy to provide this review of Bernabe Oros and Meta Morphic Plastering. We had three, very large wood, exterior window planter ledges which had wood rot and were pulling away from our stucco house. We needed the rotted shelves removed and disposed of and the stucco walls rebuilt and replastering with stucco to match the rest of the walls. Keep in mind that all three areas are in the front of our house and we needed someone who could expertly match the pattern and texture of the rest of the stucco so that repairs were undetectable. We contacted 4-5 licensed general contractors and/or licensed plastering/stucco services and after meeting with Bernabe we knew immediately that he was the man for us! From our first meeting, it was clear that Bernabe is a man of integrity who wants to do his very best work for customers. He thoroughly examined our job areas and clearly explained what problems were present, what repairs were necessary and what possible complications could lie beneath the wood and stucco once removed. Bernabe was right on time (or early) for everyday of work and he took the time to explain to us each day what he and his men would be doing that day. Juan, Angel and Bernabe were careful to lay tarps out in their areas of work to protect property and to catch debris. Bernabe checked in with me throughout each workday as well providing me with updates and also took photos to document his findings and work progress! Bernabe found additional areas of concern which would have left our walls very vulnerable to water access and further damage and he made those repairs to protect our property. At the end of each work day, the team cleaned up the work area and left the area spotless. Bernabe was also conscientious about making untimely or disturbing noise for ourselves or neighbors who might be working from home. The crew completed the job and their finished work is impeccable! We cannot express
enough what an absolute pleasure it has been throughout the entire process of our repair to work with Bernabe and his team at Meta Morphic Plastering! Bernabe is nothing short of an impeccable, skilled craftsman who is honest, punctual, communicative, hardworking and considerate! All three men, Bernabe, Angel and Juan did an exemplary job and were thoughtful and polite. Bernabe charged us a fair price for all of his work and we are absolutely confident that we will have no further issues in the future with his work. In addition, the repairs and replastering are undetectable which is a big relief to us! We are not able to get our house painted until July, but we already know that the work will be hidden under the paint. We have contracted with Bernabe to complete prep work for an exterior patio door removal and stucco repair as well as an interior wall repair. Bernabe is a dream come true and 100% the best home repair professional we have ever hired! If you hire Meta Morphic Plastering, you can feel confident in their work and you will meet an outstanding individual in Bernabe Oros! We only wish that Bernabe was also a mechanic, painter, plumber, electrician, gardener, etc because we would eagerly hire him for any of those jobs too!

Santos does work of extraordinary quality and is completely professional. He is a perfectionist and is exhaustively thorough in all the parts of the work that we have asked him to do. He is easy to work with, has an extraordinarily pleasant personality, and demonstrates a sincere eagerness to please. Highly recommended.

I don't give out 5 star reviews easily because there's usually something that keeps it from being perfect, but we couldn't find one in regards to working with Bernabe Oros - Metamorphic Plastering. In January 2023 we came home to a saturated carpet under the window in our family room. There weren't any leaks coming from the window itself. We soon realized this was coming from under the baseboards which meant there were issues from the outside / stucco area. Bernabe was able to get to us quickly and assess the situation before the next rain storm was expected. He explained the problem, answered all our questions, and gave us a fair quote for the amount of work and time he'd have to put into this. The original builders took 'short cuts' which he had to fix to ensure we wouldn't come across future issues. He explained and showed us how he would water proof the area, especially around the window trim. He always communicated with us, especially if there were unexpected issues. He provided alternatives if something didn't fit in our budget and ensured it would be done with quality workmanship. We couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. Bernabe and his crew were professional and easy to work with. We feel grateful to have found such a reliable, honest and professional plasterer for our home needs.

I had removed an old wall AC unit and I needed a quick patch for the hole that it left. Bernabe gave me a very reasonable quote and fixed it the next week. He's very personable and was willing to answer all my dumb questions. There were also existing stucco issues around my house I had already known about. He never ever pushed to sell any additional services. Just quoted me on the patch. Although, out of curiosity, I did ask for ballpark figures for other jobs and he communicated them to me so earnestly, I felt no pressure.
His work looked professional and he kept the working area really clean. He listened to my concerns about other contractors dumping mortar on my yard, killing my plants, and he decided to take his cleaning bucket home with him.
Everything about my experience felt so smooth and painless, it erased any doubts I had. Often times I get contractors that can't communicate well, that my expectations turn sour due to changes required during the job or them not understanding me. Bernabe definitely raised the bar.
* Communicates effectively
* Punctual
* Affordable
* Impeccable work
* Professional
* A kind human being

Bernabe Oros was instrumental in repairing our house and getting us back to safety from rain and elements.
We purchased our home knowing we had some dry rot repair that needed to be done. In the middle of the recent pandemic lockdown, it took a while to complete the structural repair. Once it was completed, our contractor left us stranded as his stucco person couldn't take the job. As we were coming into the beginning of the rainy season, we called and emailed a half dozen different plaster/stucco repair contractors. Bernabe came out immediately, did a thorough walkthrough of the job, took notes and gave me a general idea of what the cost and time might be, and wanted to do more specific calculations and send me a written bid. I accepted his offer and he began the process.
As he began repair on the job, he uncovered dry rot that we didn't know existed and with each new discovery, was willing to work with us, and his schedule to complete the job. What had begun as a 3 to 4-day job, ballooned into 3 weeks, as the scope of the damage became more apparent. Bernabe was willing and able to accommodate our needs and complete the repairs. He was patient in answering questions, gave advice on what we should consider, and through the entire process he kept a great attitude as we kept uncovering new issues.
He was efficient, the job site was kept clean, he was considerate of any potential noise that might disturb the neighbors (having to chip old stucco, running the mixer for new stucco, etc.). He was clear on expectations of each day and each part of the job. When he uncovered hidden issues, Bernabe would explain the problem, the consequences of the problem, and what solutions we could consider.
Bernabe's work was impeccable. The finish of it looks amazing, and he was able to clean up old issues (bad stucco patterns).
I cannot believe how unbelievably lucky we were able to connect with him in the middle of a project gone sour and how he was able to help us recover to finish with some amazing work. I cannot give him high enough praise for how great a job he did, from start, to additions, to additional work, and to finish.
