We cannot say enough and praise of well built restoration and construction. All their crafts people were excellent, well mannered and efficient. Led by the manager of the site Vic, we were always kept in touch with the progress of our problem and its solution. Vic was also a very well trusted partner and our representative with the insurance company. I would recommend built well restoration and construction for any household problems involving accidents that damage the fixtures in the house. Thank you very much Vic read more

Built Well Restoration is doing a fabulous job in my mother's home. Already finished her main bathroom. Soon to work on her second bathroom. Water damage was the issue. Regarding the value, there was a ton of water damage, upwards of $15,000.00. For what had to be done, it's worth it ! Thank you, Vick for all that you have and are doing for my mother read more

Contacted Vic at Built Well Restoration & Construction for a tub to walk-in shower conversion after seeing all the great reviews on Google and Yelp. And the reviews are all spot on! Vic is a true construction professional who not only listened to my needs, but was an expert in educating me through the entire process from demo to design and construction. He was great at managing all the vendors from plumbing, hot mop, tiling, and painting. Vic and the vendors showed up on time as he said they would, so there were no surprises. He even worked around my travel schedule with no issues. He has a great eye for detail especially from a design perspective, and I really appreciated that. I'm overall very satisfied with the work that was done! read more

Had a great experience with Vic and his team! Very professional. Will work with them again in the future for future construction projects!

We discovered a small leak in our laundry room ceiling during the November 2025 storm. We contacted Vic at Built Well along with a few other contractors to give us an estimate and Vic was the first to respond. Out of all the contractors I spoke with I informed Vic after giving him the job that "I just liked his vibe" along with his knowledge and ability to explain things so simply. The other contractors were either too busy to bother or they didn't want a small job such as ours I guess. I was extremely happy with our decision. Vic came out right away and assessed the damage and got me a quote that evening. Vic was very accommodating considering there were several delays due to the holidays, a family flu bug and more inclement weather of which none were in our control. Vic was very hands on during the mold mitigation process as well as the rebuild and his guys were clean, polite and very efficient! I was actually surprised at how quickly the process went even with all of our unforeseen delays. Lastly, Vic understood the painful process of dealing with insurance so he was able to help me navigate through all the ins and outs along with procedural items to help make the process efficient and headache free. I highly recommend Vic and his team! read more

I came to Vic after a few negative experiences with contractors after a firework destroyed our yard and part of our home last year. I was quite rattled with the whole experience of dealing with insurance and trying to weed out quality workers amongst the many contractor and restoration companies out there. It took me a while but when I finally came around to Built Well, it was the best decision I'd made throughout this whole horrific endeavor. Vic is highly communicative, straightforward, and transparent from the initial phone call and consult throughout the entire process. He has a calm demeanor that helped my frayed nerves when any weird hiccups with insurance happened. And critically, he stuck to his timeline and the crew finished work in the time they said they would so we were able to move back into our home by the deadline we required. I would recommend him 10/10. He was never pushy with us. A true professional and a great communicator. Our house looks great and the work is solid. read more

I'm really glad I found Built Well restoration. After talking to the restoration company my insurance agency sent out, I felt like I was just a $ sign after the wildfires to them. I talked to a friend in the restoration service industry and he recommended I find someone local, which is how I found Built Well Restoration. Vic at Built Well came out that week, assessed what we needed done (cleaning of the attic and a couple storage sheds), and gave me what I thought was a fair quote. On top of that, since Built Well is also a contractor, they were able to also put insulation in the attic, which your typical restoration service company can't do. This allowed me to not have to go through the process of vetting another set of contractors and coordinating further work. During the whole process, Vic was communicative and easy to work with and that really gave me peace of mind when entrusting him to get things done. Thanks to Vic and his team, we came back to a clean and much more relaxed home! read more

Unfortunately this is not the first time I've needed a water damage restoration and reconstruction job, so I knew what I wanted from a contractor. Vic came in, spoke to me with respect, and explained how they would handle everything from start to finish. He answered all my questions, and gave me his personal opinions on plumbing, insurance claims, and even notified me that I had a termite issue. He communicated well, always making sure I knew the next steps and timeline of the overall work. He and his crews were nice, and did great work. They worked on water remediation, demolition of the ceiling/floors, then replaced the drywall, floors, repainted, and stored my furniture during the whole process. Would absolutely recommend! read more

Absolutely recommend this business! Vic was incredibly communicative from start to finish, always keeping me in the loop. Super friendly and easy to work with, he was very thorough with his work. read more

Vic and his team helped me with 2 major renovation projects. One was a water leak fix in my bedroom after an HVAC leak. They swooped in and gutted the room and cleaned the mold. Then they rebuilt the room exactly as it was in no time. Then they returned for an exterior wood rot problem and diagnosed the problem and gave me a fair estimate to fix it. Vic is very personable and easy to talk to and he tells you what's going on with no BS. Very straight shooter. Had a great experience with them and would recommend them to anyone. read more

Vic took care of water damage/mold remediation in my condo in West Hollywood. He worked with the insurance company and other vendors effectively; communicated with me frequently; and did an excellent job with both the mold remediation and the reconstruction work. Everything looked fantastic. I highly recommend Vic for water/mold issues but also for general contracting and construction. He has a great sense of style and his work is impeccable. read more

Absolutely Outstanding! We had the pleasure of working with Vic from Built Well after the Eaton Fire, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He and his crew handled the remediation work on our home with care, professionalism, and incredible attention to detail. From our attic to the basement, everything was thoroughly cleaned and restored--and Vic even went above and beyond to help us get our attic organized, which was such a thoughtful bonus we hadn't expected. Every member of his crew was respectful and kind, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I want to especially highlight something that matters deeply to me and many other women: Vic is not misogynistic. He never talked down to me, never defaulted to speaking only to my husband, and treated me as a full and equal partner in every conversation. For any single women out there wondering if this is a contractor they can feel safe hiring--he absolutely is. We're already looking forward to our next project with Vic. Built Well truly lives up to its name! read more

Vic and his crew really went the extra mile when restoring and repairing damage from an insurance loss due to storm damage. They also helped a ton when it came to dealing with the insurance company who constantly tried to wiggle out of paying for proper repairs. Built Well is now my go to for any home improvement or repair projects. Absolutely immaculate work! read more

We remediated our home following the Eaton Fire. Vic was extremely patient, involved and hands-on, timely and communicative. We felt confident with him throughout the whole process and appreciated his expertise in guiding us along the way. We'd strongly recommend Build Well to anyone needing expert care and top level service. read more

Our home was affected by the Eaton fire which filled our home with soot and ash. Built Well Restoration came in and cleaned all of our belongings, walls/ceilings and replaced our attic insulation. They setup equipment to clean and purify the air and made sure it was safe to reside. We were very thankful and happy we chose to work with them. read more

Our house suffered smoke damage during the Eaton fire, and Vic took care of our attic insulation removal and replacement. He and his crew did a great job and were incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the process. We're also using Built Well to repair the exterior damage the house suffered from the wind, and although that effort is still in progress, I have every confidence the results will be just as good. read more

We recently had a water damage / mold issue in our home office, and after some research, we reached out to Built Well based on the excellent reviews--and we're so glad we did! In just the first few minutes of talking to Vic during his initial inspection, it was clear how knowledgeable he is, and his confidence in assessing our situation put us at ease and made us feel taken care of. Vic's team was punctual, efficient, and respectful of our space, and Vic was extremely communicative throughout the entire process, routinely checking in to see if we had any questions and to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Now we have our office back and are excited to begin our new, mold-free life! If you're dealing with water damage or mold, or need any sort of restoration work, we highly recommend Vic and Built Well. And we're taking our own advice, because we're already planning to work with them again on our bathroom! read more

It was a dream working with Vic and Built Well. Trustworthy, loyal, committed, honest, highly capable - they are the real deal. I worked with Vic and team on a 3 month project to revamp our master bath and repair a leaky window. They completed the work, providing guidance and suggestions along the way - just completed our final walk through today and the finished product exceeded expectations. Very happy with the process and the result. I would happily recommend their services for any home remodeling, construction, repairs - you will not be disappointed. They even fixed miscellaneous things around the home without me asking - went above and beyond the scope of services because they provide true customer service. Thank you! read more

I had an amazing experience working with this company. I called and was immediately booked. Their prices are extremely fair and considerate of the scope of work. I dealt with Vic who remained in constant communication and was great all-around. Thank you! read more

We experienced a water leak in the guest bathroom, resulting in extreme black mold. The extent of the mold required the bathroom be taken out completely and rebuilt-remodeled. Vic Tahkmazyan quarterbacked the entire process, from mold/lead/asbestos testing, mold removal, to the entire rebuild-remodel. We told Vic what tub, sinks, fixtures, etc. we wanted, and he obtained everything and supervised installations. He was courteous, respectful of us and our home, kept us apprised of the progress, and was always pleasant to deal with. This was true of all the subcontractors (painters, tile workers, etc.). Vic was on the job until the last door stop was installed. He even recommended a countertop that saved us money over the material we had already chosen. I honestly can't think of anything negative. I recommend Built Well without reservation. And they will be my first choice for any future home repair or remodel. read more

We had noticed potential water intrusion into a wall that shared its exterior with an alleyway. There was no visible ceiling damage and not a whole lot around the windows. No visible cracking of the stucco on the exterior wall. So I decided it was time to call a mold remediation and water mitigation team. Vic was super responsive and worked around my schedule as we were to leave for a 10 day vacation. He was patient with all my questions about insurance and whether or not it was better to open the wall and leave or deal with it when we got back. Eventually we went thru insurance due to the unknown nature of how much damage (and therefore cost) there would be. Insurance was probably the worst headache of this whole thing but Vic was supportive and helped whenever he could. As we were figuring out what might be the problem I also noticed another area of the house that might have similar water damage. After Vic confirmed and insurance was on board we ripped open the walls and found very little mold in the bedroom (original location) and more in the other, later location. We eventually got thru insurance for the water mitigation and mold remediation so that we could repair everything... but of course, a hurricane decided to stop by and we were able to find the actual source of the problem in the second location before we closed everything back up. In the end a lot of it had to do with a combination of the original home's first stucco layer and underlying waterproof barrier (non existent), blown insulation creating a virtual cardboard wall inside soaking up all moisture and retaining it, and in the second location a very weak point where the new stucco wall met the old stucco wall and not properly joining the two (there also happened to be a brick wall that needed some super caulking/sealant). After all that work it is funny to think that everything just looks like how it did before. But that's why Vic and his team are great at what they do. Thanks guys read more

Our family was displaced during the Palisades fire and our home needed extensive cleaning. I refused to use the remediation companies that State Farm was pushing and instead performed my own due diligence to find a reputable structure remediation company. I searched for highly rated companies that focused on Southern California and during my research, I came across Built Well Restoration. I met Vic during an initial consultation to go over the aspects of the job and our requirements. I found Vic to be very upfront, transparent, and honest and eventually contracted with them to clean our home. I really felt that Vic and Built Well had our best interests in mind throughout the process. Throughout the effort, Vic was continually on site, demonstrated excellent communications skills, and volunteered suggestions to achieve an optimal outcome. Coordination between remediation vendors was very important to me and Vic worked seamlessly with our contents cleaning and HVAC companies to conduct work in the correct sequence, and to ensure a timely completion of work. I highly recommend Vic and Built Well and would definitely work with them again. read more

Kenny cleans my Kangen water machine whenever I call him. He is prompt, friendly & professional!

Thank god we found this business! During that terrible rain storm we recently had, I came home from yoga to find a little waterfall in my stairway. Two days later Vic was at my home to see what he could do. He immediately set up dehumidifiers and blowers to try and mitigate the damages and booked a roofer to come by on the next dry day. Now I know he had to have been swamped considering I wasn't even able to get a hold of my insurance company because they were inundated with claims in California from all of the storms. However, he squeezed me in and I am so happy he did. Going into this I was super nervous. In late 2022 I had a pipe burst in my upstairs bathroom and it created a lot of damage. The company that I had contracted to fix the damage (Mega Construction) did an awful job. What should have been relatively quick project ended up taking almost 5 months. I was regularly left in tears by the terrible work. Fast forward to this leak and it was completely different. I wish I would have found Vic during my last catastrophe. They finished the work quickly, were responsive and left my home looking like nothing had ever happened. What I really loved is that he personally would stop by to check on the job and was very concerned that I was satisfied. I'm thankful that I found a contractor I can trust! read more

Great job! Vic was responsive and communicated each step of the process for Smoke and Ash remediation in Altadena.

The BEST contractor & team we've worked with (and we've worked with a few...). We were so impressed with the constant communication, the team arriving on time each day, and the quick clean up. We had our entire master demoed, dry walled and painted. It looks amazing. The entire job only took a few days and the team was amazing. Absolutely will be recommending Builtwell and using them in the future! read more

The best! We needed some mold remediation and I know exactly who to call based on other referrals. Vic and his team were efficient, responsive and did the work beautifully. Vic was super easy to communicate with and always kept us in the know about what was going on. They worked quickly and did a beautiful job. I recommend them to anyone! read more

We are SO happy we went with Vic and his crew at Built Well Restoration! A month into owning our first house, we discovered sewer water damage due to a toilet leak. Vic responded right away to my yelp message asking for a consultation and came out to inspect the damage. He was very thorough, honest, and friendly. Vic and his crew did it all: first was the initial inspection, then hazardous lead testing & mitigation, down-to-the-studs demo, and finally a completely remodeled & beautiful new bathroom! All the while, Vic communicated with our insurance and helped us get nearly all of the damage and repair costs covered! His detailed line-item estimates were key to getting what we needed from insurance and also kept us well informed about costs. The silver lining to this whole water damage experience was finding a trustworthy and skilled general contractor for future projects. We are very happy with Vic's attention to detail and care toward the design of our new bathroom. read more

VIC cares so much about doing a great job. He is first one in and out. I trust him and his team. He is extremely thorough and I trust his knowledge and experience. I will only go to him for updates in my condo moving forward. Nice to know there are good guys out there who care deeply about doing a good job and have the work to show for it. FYI - he and his team did my water damage ceiling renovation, entire condo interior painting, powder room tiling and bathroom accessory mounting. He was also very helpful and patient with home insurance approval process. read more

SHORT VERSION: Built Well did a perfect job and will be my contractor for all future renovations to my home. LONGER VERSION: My house had water damage. BW came in (referred by a friend they did a lot of work for) and diagnosed the problem (old doors and windows), and proposed and explained the renovations necessary to fix it and update the home along the way. BW was flexible scaling back the scope of the work to fit my budget while keeping the quality of the work top tier. They handled special ordering of custom windows and doors, and their delivery. The whole process of prepping the house for their installation was new to me and frankly bewildering, but they handled it with care; nothing was needed on my part. All work was done very conscientiously, and every change or unexpected cost was explained thoroughly. There was never a sense of being upsold, pressured, hustled or BS'd. Ultimately it turned out perfect. They are not cheap but I think you hire them when you care about the work being done and aren't trying to cut corners. read more

Vic is super helpful! He is patient and a good listener and asks the right questions.

Vic and his crew have been great. We used them earlier this year for some major repair of water damage in our home. His team was always there when they said they would be there, they were tidy, professional and did great work. They replaced insulation, wallboard, and hardwood flooring. They also painted walls and trim. We were very happy with everything they did. We just used them again for a small project moving the threshold of a bathroom so that it is directly under the bathroom door (as it should have been originally). The project involved cutting away a couple inches of marble tile and replacing with hardwood flooring. Everything matched beautifully. The new piece of flooring was pre-finished to match existing flooring and the transition from hardwood to marble tile looks great. I'm very happy with the results and would definitely use this company again. Also, their prices seem very competitive. Just because their work is really good that doesn't mean their prices are super expensive. A great business in all respects. read more

My condo flooded a few months ago and I was overwhelmed and stressed out. I talked to three contractors before I found Vic. Two of them would not even schedule an estimate with me because they "don't do insurance claims" and the third was unprofessional and flaky. Vic showed up, patiently listened to what I wanted and needed, and gave me a detailed, professional estimate that made working with my insurance company very easy and was within my budget. Once the actual work began it went smoothly and quickly. We were on a tight timeline (I wanted to be back by Christmas) and even with COVID, the holidays, and my HOA slowing things down he was able to make that happen. He was very helpful and gave great advice when I was indecisive about details, and I couldn't be happier with the end result. Thank you so much, Vic! read more

We wanted to have our garage insulated and drywalled with the beams exposed. We got around 5 estimates for the work and Built Well came in around the middle as far as cost and our experience with Vic is what made us feel comfortable going with this company as it seemed like they would get the work most effectively in a very short crunch time we had to move in. The professionalism Vic had and transparency from start to finish really sets them apart from the rest. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. It's hard to find good contractors and construction jobs that actually finish on time and are completely finished. Vic listened to all our asks and they got it done and he was in communication with us every step of the way. We'll be coming back for more of our remodeling needs! read more

Working with Vic and his team on our leak repair, mold remediation, and rebuild made an anxiety-inducing situation pretty painless. He was responsive and communicative throughout the process, heard all of our concerns and priorities, and took special care towards schedule efficiency. Would recommend working with Built Well! read more

My kitchen was flooded and damaged the floors in the kitchen, entry way, living room and dining room. It also damaged the kitchen cabinets. Vic from Built Well restoration was my contractor. My entire kitchen needed to be built from scratch. Built Well did an amazing job replacing all the floors, kitchen cabinets, plumbing, electrical, and painting the kitchen, dining room, and entryway areas. Vic is friendly, professional, and easy to contact. The kitchen and other areas were completed in a timely manner. I am so happy with their work and the construction looks flawless. I highly recommend this company and their high quality and exceptional professionalism. read more

To summarize in one sentence Built Well was incredible to work with and we would highly recommend. We needed a bathroom redone due to previous water damage and we found Built Well on Yelp. Vic's estimate was extremely detailed (8 pages) which laid out the cost for labor and parts for every single item. I appreciated this because I could see exactly what each line item would cost and there were no hidden charges. Vic and his team were always on time, courteous and respectful of our house and time. Vic was there every day of the job (10 days) and communicated with me every step of the way. I cannot stress what good people they are and how I felt comfortable leaving them in my house alone. At the end of each day I got a recap of the day's progress and he and his team thoroughly cleaned all around the site and adjacent areas (vacuuming, dusting, etc). We had an unexpected issue come up once the walls were open (the previous owner did a doozy on the plumbing). Vic provided different solutions and laid out each option for us. I did not feel pressured into doing the most expensive option. He laid out the facts and options and we appreciated that. The bathroom turned out great and we are extremely happy with everything. There were a couple of very minor things that came up after the job was completed (this happens in all jobs) and the minute I told Vic he responded and quickly came back and fixed the minor issues the next day. This was after we had paid him in full. He clearly cares about his work, is ethical and respectable. We highly recommend this company and already have our other bathroom scheduled to be renovated by Built Well! read more

Vic and his crew are amazing. We had to coordinate a full kitchen remodel from the East Coast and they went above and beyond to make sure it was a seamless process. Th4ey were very communicative and sent us a lot of pictures so we could see how things were progressing. We are very happy with the finished product and highly recommend Vic and Built Well. read more

I've needed Built Well twice in the last 5 months. After we had a roof leak that led to a whole new roof, they came in to repair the ceilings and walls and take care of the mold. Then, more recently, we discovered a leak under our bathroom. Again, severe mold, and near gut-job of the bathroom. Working with Vic was great. He's a very communicative and courteous contractor. He worked with me very closely on each job and was also great at talking to my homeowner's insurance and helping me get reimbursed for everything I was owed. Highly recommend them. read more

I had tree roots clog up my main sewer line causing a back up which caused water to leak from the ceiling of my garage. I had another person come out to do a mitigation estimate but he was a bit "odd" and unprofessional. I am glad I gave Built Well a call. Vic was able to come out quickly and give me a very detailed estimate. He was very thorough and found that I also had water leaking underneath the toilet/subfloor of my powder room. He started the mitigation work then the construction work to repair the ceiling in my garage and the floor and walls of my bathroom. The plumbers had to go through walls to remove my faulty pipes (due to bad construction). Unfortunately my home owners insurance company (which I will be switching) was unresponsive and very slow to work my claim. Vic was very patient and and did his best to communicate with them as well to get things expedited. Vic was always very kind, friendly and professional. I appreciate the work he did on my home and his patience in dealing with my insurance company. read more
