    Car crash before Bela Development

    I had a car crashed into my building, which made a large hole in the living room. Bela Development was selected out of seven estimates. It was a long process working with the insurance, but Tom from Bela Development was professional and throughout to shepherd us through the insurance process and eventually completed perfectly. Any reasonable requests I had, Tom and the team accommodated them. The results are fabulous.

    More guilt tripping and accusatory language
    Diane N.

    I was genuinely excited to speak with someone about plans for our home, specifically to get an estimate for building an ADU. Unfortunately, my experience with Bela Development, particularly with the consultant who came to our property, was extremely disappointing and uncomfortable. When I scheduled the appointment, I was never told that my husband needed to be present. So when the consultant arrived, he immediately seemed irritated and dismissive toward me, insisting that he "needed to speak to my husband" even though I explained he was at work. He pressured me to call him anyway, and when my husband answered, the consultant took the phone and started speaking to him in a condescending tone. He even said, "You don't buy a car without seeing it," as if my husband shouldn't trust my judgment or as if I wasn't capable of discussing our own home project. It came off extremely sexist. When my husband asked for an estimate (literally the whole reason we scheduled the consultation) the consultant responded mockingly and told him his understanding of ADU costs was "wrong." My husband had to get back to work and ended the call, and the consultant wrapped it up with, "Next time you do something like this, make sure you're here, not just your wife." That comment alone was enough for me to mentally check out. After that, his attitude shifted only when I mentioned different renovation ideas. Suddenly he became friendly and sales-driven, which felt insincere after the way he treated me for the first half of the appointment. He also promised a follow-up email with information we discussed, but I never received anything, further proving he wasn't genuinely interested in helping. Overall, the experience felt disrespectful, unprofessional, and blatantly sexist. I left feeling uncomfortable and undervalued as a customer. Because of this interaction, I would not recommend Bela Development. After posting my original review and follow-up, and after clearly requesting no further contact in writing, a representative of Bela Development returned to my home the following morning and left handwritten notes on my door asking that I remove the review. This visit was uninvited and occurred after I had requested no further communication. I am documenting this here so readers are aware of the continued follow-up related to my review. I continue to stand by my original review and respectfully request no further contact.

    From start to finish, Bela development was a pleasure to work with! They helped our preschool to rebuild a playhouse and design and create an entirely new riverbed feature in summer 2025. Excellent communication, flexibility, and competitive pricing. We look forward to working with them in the future!

    Redwood ceiling
    Zuzu's P.

    Ben and his crew were very communicative and easy to work with. They also gave me the most reasonable quote and went over and beyond for my condo. I had dealt with a roof leak and contractors that were the opposite - unreliable, negligent, sloppy, and fraudulent, so it was REFRESHING to find scrupulous contractors that stood by their work. They redeemed my nightmare (a torn out ceiling by a lazy roofer) into something beautiful. I love waking up in the morning to rays of sunshine shining through a gorgeous skylight they installed. They also installed a redwood ceiling that simultaneously elevated and warmed up my home. I will keep adding photos to this review because they simply provided an exquisite canvas for authentic comfort.

    Price changed after the trees arrived.

    Quality is really bad. Actually we want to write this review one year ago. Just check out the photos attached below. The guy name is Ben, he's very nice before we complained about the quality issues over the year, he was yelling, screaming on the phone tried to find the solution....... We paid 29000 for a shitty fence, then Ben told us that because we didn't pay enough so we only can get this quality in the end. Unbelievable

    Top-quality work, on-time and on budget. Bela Development did a complete remodel of the master bathroom in our condo and we are very pleased. When mold and water damage was discovered behind the tile in the shower, they stepped up the schedule and got it cleaned, remediated and repaired quickly before continuing on to finish the job. It was a complete remodel. The room was gutted, mold and water damage discovered and remediated. The large window by the bathtub was converted to a narrower window higher up on the wall, the smaller window was replaced, then everything else was redone; new vanity, mirror, lights, automatic ceiling fan, toilet, tub and shower, all plumbing, plus wall tile fot the shower (with a nice cubby for shampoo, etc.) and vinyl flooring. The room was repainted with high quality paint and all fixtures were installed. They also replaced the old pocket door with a proper door. As a bonus, they replaced the nearby closet door with a matching door at no extra charge. The bathroom is now like a luxury spa; beautifully done, solid as a rock. We are very happy with the results. There were a few hiccups, a few problems that cropped, up, but Yossi and his team addressed them quickly. I recommend Bela Development for any remodeling work you need done in your home.

Got 3 estimates. Guy was affordable and seemed the most trustworthy, so I went with KBLA. The crew did a great job. Guy is the best. Is really hands on with his crew. The ceiling was raised and wasn't perfect , so he has his crew do it again ( no extra charge). Would text me to let me know when crew would be coming, so communicating was good. Price was very reasonable for all the work he did. I had a side gate that his crew entered each day that had been broken for years. Guy fixed it without me asking for free. What a guy. If you want someone who is not going to rip you off, choose Guy and SoCal KBLA. Now the only problem is the room he did is the best looking in my house and makes me want to redo my whole house.

He will take your money and with an elementary job and you will never hear from him again. He will do the bare minimum of making the house look good in blurred wide angle photos but once you physically step in the house, everything falls apart where the house is NOT in a livable condition. There are gaps in floors, walls, bathrooms, kitchen, etc etc. Closets falling apart after more than holding 2 jackets. Warping floors with heavy damage painted over floorboards with no grout/caulk all around. Ceiling lights with gaps around with dirt/dust falling from attic every day. Toilets and bathtubs improperly installed and I've had to hire plumbers afterwards to fix his terrible work so that the bathroom is useable. Wires/pipes improperly installed on all kitchen appliances so I had to hire electricians/plumbers to fix his terrible work. Doors are installed upside down and wrong/heavy paint around so the doors don't open/close properly. Outside paint/stucco falling apart after a few weeks because he used the wrong type of paint. He used the wrong caulk/silicon all over the bathroom/kitchen so everything is ripping apart after a few weeks, or he didn't use any sealant at all, so there is water leaking into my walls. Screws/nails missing from all cabinets or random nails sticking out where I've cut my hand multiple times. Everything in the house is crooked if you take more than 5 seconds to look with a close eye in person. There is zero redeeming value. It is incredible guy still has a license and is in business. I would not trust him to microwave water.

Throughout the entire process, Mike was very professional and the level of expertise he exhibited was obvious. Before Mike, I had met with 3 other contractors to compare services and quotes but what sealed the deal for me was the 3D render service Mike offered. It was affordable and it would be free if you end up going with MDM for your remodel. Mike was able to get the renderings to me very quickly and made adjustments whenever we wanted to change something. Seeing the details of the renderings really brought what we were envisioning to life and helped with the design process. Fast forward to beginning of demo/construction, Mike's employees were impressively fast and efficient at their jobs, but what really impressed me was how clean they kept our property after each day of work. And that stated true throughout the entire process of our 7 month renovation. During construction, if there were any last minute changes, Mike would always try to cater to our needs whenever possible. Even if subcontractors made mistakes with anything, Mike would make sure it is fixed and perfect right away. Keep in mind, you can't rely on Mike for everything (as much as you might want to). You really do have to do your research (in terms of design, finishing materials, sourcing those materials, and getting them delivered on time) and know exactly what you want and how you want it, that way, Mike can plan and put into action what needs to be done. After this entire process, we are extremely happy we got this project completed with MDM. What really sets them apart is the quality of work, dependability, and the great people that work for MDM. Shoutout to Mario! They really respected our home and were very considerate of us during construction. Even after everything was finished, they guaranteed that they would come back and fix anything that needed fixing. Cannot recommend them enough if you want to improve or build your new home!

If you like to stick to a schedule, scheduling with the company and trying to get in touch with them was awful. They would say that they would show up on Sunday at noon, and then never show up and never text to cancel. They would commit to showing up at 9-11am and then text me confused when I wasn't home to let them in at 3pm. I would text and call Sammy or whichever contractor I worked with and they wouldn't respond for days. The job was finished over a month ago and I am still trying to get a receipt, summary of work, and mold test results. They also left the demolition trash in my garage and told me they'd come back to throw it away (they never came back and I had to throw it away). Again, they do great work! But I personally wouldn't schedule with them again because of how frustrating communication and scheduling can be. I encourage them to clean up the logistical side of the house. Hire a scheduler and a dispatcher, send confirmation texts before the scheduling window, and send a text in advance if you can't make it on time or at all. Having the skills to remodel and repair is half of what someone is hiring when selecting a contractor. Being on time, organized, and reliable is the other half.
