I got estimates from 3 Solar vendors before choosing Artisan Build Group. Michael's care and attention to detail far exceeded all of my expectations. First off, you're working with a contractor that is not only customer-focused, but his top priority is to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Throughout the project, Michael and his crew were professional, knowledgeable and overall, it was a pleasant experience from start to finish. Price: Michael beat the competition! He broke down all the costs and showed me where I could save some money along with the pros and cons of each alternative. Service: The crew kept me updated on the progress with all the necessary inspections and even met with the inspectors to make sure everything moved seamlessly and as quickly as possible. From start to finish, Michael's determination to guarantee I was satisfied was a rare experience that I will be working with him on all my future home renovations. His display of character is a rare gem in the solar industry. Design: Michael mapped out how the panels should be placed to optimize performance and sunlight. He answered all my questions regarding how and why they should be placed on the roof in a certain way. His well thought out plan of placing the panels where he knew they would receive the most sunlight based on the angle of sun throughout different seasons means the panels will be working at maximum efficiency. Installation: Michael's electricians came on time, prepared and installed everything the same day. Was very pleased with the quality of work they did. At the end of the day, they cleaned up everything and made sure it was picture perfect. read more

We interviewed 4 contractors before we decided to move forward with Artisan Build Group. What made us decide to move forward with them was Michael's can-do attitude, and ability to problem-solve, and provide us with honest upfront costs. Some of the contractors we spoke with either gave us a bid really low, but left out a bunch of things to trick us, or ones that gave us an astronomical price! We appreciated how honest, and straight-forward Michael was from the beginning with what the results would be. During the build, Michael and his crew were very accomodating with great attention to detail. They all wore masks and took precautions to keep us and his crew safe. Whenever an issue arose, Michael worked diligently with his team to get it fixed. He's an incredible problem-solver and will work hard to make sure that you are 100% pleased with the end product. Our kitchen remodel started in October 2020 and was finished in January 2021. There were a couple of delays due to the holidays and the pandemic; however, the end product was a beautiful, newly remodeled kitchen. My only feedback would be that their cabinet installers were sub-par with little attention to detail, they dinged up some of the cabinets when installing; however, once this issue was brought to Michael's attention he made sure to have those cabinets replaced so they would look brand new. I would HIGHLY recommend Artisan Build Group, and would most definitely be reaching out to them if & when we consider another remodel. Michael and his crew were respectful, cordial, kind, took direction well, extremely hard-working, and detail-oriented! Check out the before & after photos attached to this review & you'll see the NIGHT & DAY difference! So happy that we went with Michael & Artisan Build Group. read more

We had our installation done by Michael and his team and overall it was an excellent experience. After getting numerous bids from roofers and solar installers, Michael definitely proved to be outstanding from the rest of the group. We also did our homework in calling his references and heard nothing but great things. He will always make himself available for questions or anything you might want to discuss. His team works around the clock and treats the work site very respectfully. When unexpected things came up, Michael made sure to address them as best he could keeping in mind the overall cost which we were grateful for. The quality of the installation is superb and we are very proud of the work they did. We will definitely consult Michael for our future remodeling needs. read more

I found Artisan Build Group through Yelp and got quotes from Michael and 3 other contractors for a 3/4 bathroom remodel. Michael helped me every step of the way with design choices and the work was expertly done. I was so happy with their work that I hired him to put Astro turf in my back yard and will use him again for my roof. On time. Beautiful work. I just added at least $30k to the value of my home. read more

We worked with Michael Soroka/ Artisan Build during late Oct - Nov. 2020 to re-roof our home and install solar panels. We were extremely pleased with Michael, his crew, the total process, and the end result. Michael is "top notch" as well as his crew. Ask Michael for a copy of the more detailed reference letter we wrote in praise of his company. Selected highlights from the reference letter are provided below. Michael's approach to developing a relationship and closing a sale is very different from other companies. He spoke with us and we dialogued about our objectives, our concerns and creative solutions to what we were trying to achieve. Before we met with Michael we had spoken with 6+ solar companies and 4+ roofing companies and none of them had that type of interaction with us. Most demonstrated that they were more interested in getting us to sign a contract, collecting commissions, and it seemed clear that they would not participate in guiding/supervising the work. Many made cursory assessments (several firms made major errors in assessing the size of the roof and most ignored the fact that our roof was already 20 years old). None of the firms provided suggestions regarding the use of more energy efficient roofing shingles, or enhanced roof vents to lower the heat in the attic and lower the AC burden (in contrast to Michael, who addressed these topics) . Many of the other firms were reluctant to provide references. Michael gave us current references the day after we met with him. He answered many questions before we hired him and we knew he was the right person for the job and knew his business. Michael takes pride in his company, hires the best crew and techs, and cares immensely about the quality of the outcome his clients will receive. The quality of the materials used, and the actual work were both excellent. The fact that Michael is a licensed contractor was important to us for three reasons: 1) ensured that a broad-based knowledge of construction and how to work effectively with our existing home was applied; 2) enabled the integration of multiple different tradesmen with different sets of expertise (roofers, solar installation, electricians, carpentry, gutter installation, painters) to produce the desired outcome and to problem solve, if needed; and 3) assured that the work would be done to code and that there would be no short-cuts and no problems with inspections/approvals. Michael was highly responsive to our questions and requests (from pre-sale, through the day-to-day work, and during the final wrap-up of the project). During the installation, Michael and the techs discussed with us ways to make the solar panel and conduit location optimal for energy generation as well as aesthetics. Our project began on the date promised and was also completed on time and on budget. Michael supervised each phase of the project. He worked closely with the head tech for roofing and the head of solar and the crew members for the installation of the solar panels. He explained the layout for greatest energy efficiency and welcomed our thoughts as well. Throughout the roofing and solar panel work, whenever we had a request , Michael was always responsive by text or email. If we saw anything needing attention, " he was on it," generally the same day. Each day the crew arrived and began work promptly around 7:00 -7:30 am and worked hard all day generally til late afternoon 4 or 5 pm.. They worked Monday through Friday and some Saturdays. On two occasions, at our request, they flexed their schedule to accommodate our business needs. The final step taken by the workers each day was to clean up the work site. All debris was removed. All tools and materials were neatly stored. The city inspectors know and respect Artisan Build because of their high quality. Thus, we passed roof inspection and solar inspection without any issues. We are very happy with our final project and would definitely use Michael/ Artisan build for future projects and would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

We worked with Michael and Artisan Build Group to raise one of our ceilings, put in sky lights, update our electrical panel, and replace the insulation in our attic. I highly recommend this company!! Michael was super knowledgeable throughout, made the permit process easy, and seemed to have an answer for every first time homeowner question we had. He was also flexible and game when we decided to add two windows halfway through the project. Our dining room was a cramped, dark room with 70's floor to ceiling mirrors. Artisan Build Group took down all the mirrors, raised the ceiling, and put in skylights and wood ceiling panels. It is now our favorite room in the house! Michael's crews were quick and professional. Everything was punctual and professional. They will def be our go to for future renovations or home improvements! read more

Would use Michael again on our next remodel. read more

Michael and his team ordered and replaced 16 windows during my home remodel. Of all the contractors I dealt with during this process, this company is the only one I have referred to friends and family. The windows were delivered early and installation went on without a worry, because Michael was there every step of the way. The windows are amazing and our family and friends are always surprised about the turn around time and the professionalism that made our house look so nice & updated. read more

From my first conversation and meeting with artisan build at my friends house in Woodland Hills and seeing their professionalism and attention to detail, I knew that mike was going to handle my outdoor deck project. Not only did they show up on time to my Sherman oaks home on time they waited as I was running late to open the gate,.his entire crew was friendly throughout the entire job, and didn't leave me feeling troubled. Outdoor deck jobs and slate tile work can be tedious but these guys were PROFESSIONAL, VERY CLEAN, EFFICIENT. If you are ever in need of a general contractor, without a doubt I highly recommend. Once again THANK YOU! read more

Artisan Build Group - My outside Patio and tile work - General Contractors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I wanted to get some renovations done to my house and asked everyone I knew for recommendations. I decided I wanted to go with Artisan Build group because Mike seemed like a really nice guy and he offered a reasonable price. My b/f made the decision to go with someone else because they were cheaper. long story short, this cheaper option never finished the job and took our money. We called Mike and he saved our lives. His contractors showed up on time, communicated with us the whole way through, did an AMAZING job fixing the errors of the last guy, and finished the work we needed done to the rest of the house. Mike and his workers went above and beyond to help us get our remodel in order within our timeline that we needed. Literally, should have trusted my gut in the first place. The b/f will never live this down. read more

*This review is on behalf of the work Michael has done for my parents home* We were very hesitant in doing a landscape project and we put it on hold for so long. Nothing seemed unique enough or worth the hassle. After meeting with Michael, he put some ideas into a very detailed 3D rendering and presented them to us very professionally. That was a first that no other company did, keep in mind I've been meeting with companies for close to 6 months. We were given a verbal presentation with other companies which wasn't enough for our expectations. We accepted Michaels proposal and went ahead and signed a contract with Artisan Group. Scheduling began and the project was underway at our convenience. The installers were very clean, proficient and courteous of our property. These guys rocked it! Luckily, some huge rebates came available very last minute and Michael was able to get his hands on some extra cash for us. Currently switching to solar with a Tesla whole home back up battery system. read more

Beyond excited to be working with such professionals. I won't trust anyone else to help me build my dream home. Such professionalism is hard to find. Very pleased with their service. Thank you!!! read more

We are pleased with our new solar and roof that Artisan installed for us in November. Within a few months, (end of Jan/Feb) we were off the LADWP grid which was a short wait time when I compare to my friends who have gone with other companies. The savings reflected on our bill are extremely remarkable. Especially because our family blasts the air-conditioning day and night. Our DWP bill use to be over a thousand dollars and now with our new roof and solar it's a nominal fee. Once the permits were in place, the process to complete the new roof and solar panels was straight forward and highly efficient. Michael did a really good job installing our new roof and solar panels. He was on site almost daily and physically on the old/new roof itself overseeing the roofer crew on many occasions. What we appreciated the most is that Michael communicates very well, is honest, transparent and a true professional. The clean up was impeccable. We were very impressed with the clean up because that is a messy job. I only had to pick up a handful of old black roof bits from our yard. I do wish that the leftover roof pieces were not left on our interior driveway - because they are still there now. But if Michael reads this review or if we ask him to relocate them out of sight...I have no doubt that he will do that asap. He also sent a worker to repair damage to our interior ceiling because after the new roof install little round circular damage was visible. Almost all of the little circles are gone now - with only a few remaining. We interviewed several companies and choose Artisan based on our interview with Michael and recent Yelp reviews. We did an enormous amount of research on solar because there are a lot of charlatans offering to save you money etc. So be careful and do your homework. Or just hire Artisan for good quality work. It will not be the least expensive, but you will certainly be working with a roofing and solar professional. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Mike at Artisan Build Group on a bathroom remodel. He was extremely knowledgeable, organized, trustworthy, and very communicative.

Everything was great! I am happy with my decision to choose Artisan Build to I stall our roof! Have had a few bad experiences with some previous contractors, Michael and his crew did honest, as expected great work, THANK YOU! read more

I was very hesitant about remodeling my kitchen. A kitchen remodel is always a big project to take on, especially when it's a full custom job. I started with hiring an architect to help with the new floor plan and help selecting some material finishes. After plans were submitted to the city I went ahead and scheduled meetings with different contractors. I met with Michael for a walk through and then emailed him a copy of the plans. He went through them and gathered a bid for me within a week. Pricing was fair, and he seemed very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Once I accepted the bid the project stated right away! Every worker Michael brought from his team was a master of their craft, even the demo guys. Michael managed the job which brought me to ease and everything went very smoothly. All inspections passed with ease and I now have a complete kitchen! Very happy I let them do the project and thrilled with the results! read more

I hired Artisan Build Group to upgrade the roof of my rental property as the existing roof was at the end of the it's lifecycle. It was such an easy process. Michael showed up, inspected the roof, made recommendations and explained the process throughly, including any available rebates that I could take advantage of. I highly recommend Artisan Build Group and Michael for your roofing needs. Their professionalism and expediency was instrumental in fixing my roof and keeping my property protected before the rain season. read more

First time coming across a contractor who really knows what theyre doing, is honest, and has great quality products. I was in the market for getting a solar system installed on my rental property in woodland hills. When I contacted artisan build group, they immediately got me on they're schedule and had Michael come out to inspect my property. After meeting with Michael, I knew he was the man for the job. After extensive review of my property, he indicated I needed a new roof to support my solar system. He was able to replace my roof with a 50 year warranty, get a solar system installed that covers 100% of the properties consumption, and got me very attractive financing. Many thanks again to the artisan team for the amazing work! read more

My roof was very old and needed to be replaced. Michael showed me to be more in the financial green with solar and a roof replacement. Not only was the pricing very competitive with other quotes I got, but also the materials used were much better. The solar and roofing crew showed up on time every single and day and kept my property site very clean throughout the installations. Very happy with the work. read more

If you are looking for a contractor, look no further than Artisan Build Group. Honestly, creativity, true craftsmanship, attention to detail and making sure the job will get done (The way you want it) is an understatement with this team.

I hired Michael and Artisan Build Group for a full interior and exterior remodel of my house designed by architect Edward Ogosta. Michael understood my modern design vision and executed the plans flawlessly with his team, who executed the entire project. Michael was always just a text away, keeping me updated daily on progress. One thing I liked was that he was very detail-oriented, because I am not. People always say they are "detail-oriented" but I can say that Michael actually is in practice, which is what you want in a contractor. When something he produced was off he would spend the time, money, and effort to make it right. For my house one load-bearing wall was removed in between kitchen and dining; his team followed structural engineering diagrams I provided to properly remove this wall. All new hardwood flooring went in in a week. Tile placement was a several hour discussion so that we could get everything lined up just the way me and the architect wanted, and was executed just like the rendering. The bathrooms are a complete transformation and my little quiet oasis. Every detail and inch as accounted for. Cabinets in the bathrooms were custom and done by Michael's woodworking team - the craftsmanship is amazing. They also installed the kitchen (where I used pre-made panels from reform), slats, stair railing, mud room bench, and laundry room shelving. The white oak he sourced was evenly grained and he would have to pick them himself piece by piece. His stainers matched the stain for wood that came from different suppliers! I did a complete exterior remodel with smooth stucco, and Michael's guys also did a ipe walkway out in front. When the new skylight came wrong (it had a bar in the middle), he spent the money to buy a new skylight even though the original was not returnable. He even provided the little net in the shower drain to catch my hair. I can't compare with other contractor's prices, and I did spend quite a bit on the house, but everything was done right and that is the most important. There was not a dollar wasted on Artisan Build Group. I am so happy with my house and it is worth much much more than the money I spent on it. Thank you for the beautiful house! I will love it forever. More pictures coming soon! read more

Artisan Build Group are the best contractors I ever worked with. I hired Michael to install my solar panel. The 1st thing that really caught my eye is, when time came for the start of the project Michael himself was doing, even going on a roof to inspect it. While doing he suggested to change my roof so that solar panels and roof will be on the same life cycle, which totally makes sense. You do not want to install panels and then few years change roof, this will cost you a lot. So Michael was honest from the start of the project. How often do you find honest contractors? He was always available to me and I had so many questions and he always answered them and I actually learned a lot from him. It's been few months since the end of the project and he is still available 24/7. You can call him and he will answer any questions or offer any help to anything related to the house. That shows that he cares about his clients and not just during project but even after. His crew are top notch professionals they work fast and do not take any shortcuts when doing a job. They are always on time and worked every day. During the project Michael would come himself almost everyday and inspect the work. He is really upfront about the true cost of the project. There is no bait and switch tactic. I am extremely happy with a work. I highly recommend Michael to anyone. You will not be disappointed with his attention, care, professionalism, honesty and knowledge. read more

If you're looking for an honest, reliable, great quality general contractor... look no further.
