Calecco Construction has unethical practices. Before hiring Calecco, I did my due diligence and visited a few of Calecco projects with Murad Muradyan. In hindsight, the fact that none of his projects had active workers should have been a red flag. Once my ADU construction project began, I quickly learned the reason.... A subcontractor on my project shared that he has not been paid by Murad for work completed on my project and that I was just one of many clients left in the same situation by Calecco for not paying his sub. Because of Murad's failure to pay his sub on my project, I was at risk of having the subcontractor place a mechanic's lien on my home, meaning I could have been forced to pay twice for the same work to get the mechanic lien removed. I will not be using Murad and Calecco Construction for any future projects, It's simply not worth the risk, the financial headaches and legal troubles. read more

We hired Calecco to convert an existing garage into an ADU and the experience left us feeling disappointed and disillusioned. We weren't naive enough to think that our project wouldn't encounter any obstacles, but we couldn't have imagined just how frustrating an experience it would be. The lack of communication, shoddy work and prolonged delays we encountered along the way left us feeling angry and frankly, foolish that we entrusted Calecco to do the job. Murad wasn't appropriately engaged with our project and days would go by without an update on the work or where the project stood. We felt abandoned and left in the dark, feeling like our project didn't matter. When there was work being done, it was all too often farmed out to incompetent individuals. Bathroom tiling, electrical installation and grading were all done incorrectly and had to be fixed. Brand new hardwood floors were badly scratched up, the garbage disposal wasn't hooked up properly and the bathroom fan was never installed. All indicative of inadequate supervision and oversight. Given our experience, we will no longer use Calecco and hope this review may help others who are contemplating having similar work done. read more

From start to finish, Murad and Ruben managed and scheduled our project seamlessly. Murad was honest and up front with the costs and timeframes. I would highly recommend Calecco for your project needs. We are super excited with the results that we expect to enjoy for many years. read more

Given the complexity of our project having irregular small lot and irregular shaped structures with heavy use of steel, Calecco Construction managed to deliver outstanding results by building a ground up four car garage with an ADU on top, ground up 2 bd/2ba townhouse and expansion/remodel to an existing house. They did a really good job in completing the project as per our needs. They handled the inevitable surprises that came with a job of this size extremely well. We evaluated many proposals and finally chose Calecco Construction for our construction. They did a really good job in completing the project as per our needs. They always kept us informed and always available to answer our questions. Even though we faced some challenges during the construction process, Calecco team always gave us options and finally made it work. We passed all inspections without any issues which made us feel very calm and comfortable. Calecco has really good people working for them. The Carpenters, plumbers, electricians and tile installers were all excellent and completed the job on time without any issues. They are personable, professional and punctual, they never stopped working until they finished. We've shown the completed work to friends, and they've commented on how amazing everything looked. We are glad we went with them because they are professional and allowed us to voice our opinion every step of the way. For the project that was done for the time frame, we believe their quote was more than fair. Communications with Calecco and the team was excellent, mostly via phone when needed. They stand behind their work and went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with the results. In short, we would not hesitate to recommend Calecco Construction, in fact we're considering them for an additional project. Thank you Calecco Construction for a great experience!

Finding a good contractor can be extremely challenging, I was interested in remodeling my property in Glendale which consists of two houses on a lot. My husband and I met with 3 contractors before we contacted Calecco. Murad was very pleasant on the phone and we met at the property to discuss the project. My husband and I were very impressed with Murad, he was very knowledgeable with the remodel process and the timeline for the project that we decided to hire Murad to remodel the first house. Murad and his team did an excellent job on all aspects of the project. The remodel came out great and exceeded our expectations, we felt so confident with his work that we used Murad again to remodel the second house. Murad is extremely professional and honest and his workmanship is excellent. We highly recommend Calecco, Murad and Ruben are a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. We always felt very comfortable talking with Murad we knew he was committed to the project and providing the best possible service. Suzette read more

We have worked with the Calecco Construction team for two projects and recommend them without reservation. From the initial experience of requesting a quote, Murad was prompt, professional and courteous. He patiently explains how renovations can be done and recommends approaches, without pressuring one into larger or more expensive projects. During the work itself, the Calecco crew arrived when scheduled, wore masks, and similarly conducted themselves in a courteous and professional manner. Murad was always available in person or by phone to discuss questions or concerns. He goes out of his way to help smooth over unexpected problems, including once driving me to a Home Depot to help select another oven when the original one delivered had a broken door, so that we could finish the kitchen on time. On another occasion he offered to replace the grout in our kitchen that was poorly done by a prior contractor. He noted while painting our house that two sets of air ducts were present, with a lower set non-functional, and offered to seal the ducts and replace the dry wall and matched baseboards so that the wall appeared new again. These small gestures of going the extra step, even when it was not written in a contract, demonstrated to us time and time again his dedication to doing the job correctly and his thoughtfulness. He completed the project within the estimated budget and on time, while not compromising on the quality of the work. We have now lived in the home for 6 months and continue to be impressed with the quality of workmanship. We are thrilled with the quality of the work and look forward to working with Calecco again in the future. We have our dream home now thanks to Calecco and hope that you can find the same. read more

Even though I didn't get the chance to do business with Calecco Construction, their prompt replies via email with me were pretty awesome.

My husband and I called Calecco Construction a week ago to get an estimate for various projects we were thinking about for our home. Aram was very professional as we discussed what could be done. We really appreciated his honesty and he responded back with an estimate very promptly. The painters came out a couple days later and we couldn't be happier with the result! And it only took two days! Along with the house painting, Calecco created a customized shelve for our cluttered garage. It only took a day and it looks great! It's not easy to find honest and professional people for this kind of work, but I am very satisfied with the quality of the outcome! :) read more

Much gratitude to Andre and his team for all the work they did on our home in the middle of the hot summer. We got bids from 3 different contractors and Andre by far was the most professional and responsive, which is why we went with him. Their team always kept on schedule, which I hear from others is rare. We had a bathroom added to our home with a few other minor additions, and everything turned out beautifully. Andre always went above and beyond, even if it wasn't a part of the contract / responsibilities. For example, unrelated to the remodeling we were doing, a pipe in our yard cracked and he helped us fix it. We've recommended him to our friends who are also planning to remodel soon. read more

Choosing Calecco Construction to build our dream house was the best decision we have ever made. Great communication! Excellent quality! Amazing job! Thank you for all your hard work and for treating your customers like a family. read more

My wife and I bought our first home and this was our first time doing any renovation work- so my wife and we're looking for someone that could handle everything headache free. Andre (Calecco) was that and more. He basically went out of his way to make sure we were happy the entire time. He handled all permits in Pasadena which is not easy- and my wife and I didn't even have to think of it. We definitely recommend Andre! read more

The success of a home remodeling project is all about the general contractor. Mr. Murad Muradyan provided knowledgeable, skilled advice and expert craftmanship to our project. We had our outdated 1981 construction townhouse completely gutted and remodeled by Calecco, under his guidance. Mr. Muradyan organized and directed the transformation of an old space with numerous structural challenges, into a modern upscale and convenient home. He had a skilled and resourceful crew at his fingertips, that provided elegant touches, that delighted and expanded our ideas. He carefully explained his process and reasoning and was able to interact with and stay within the rules of an exacting HOA. He made excellent recommendations for fiscally reasonable materials suppliers when we wanted more choice. Most importantly, he and his team delivered a fine end result in the difficult time of Covid. The main things we can say about Calecco are that they are honest, receptive to input, take responsibility, highly skilled, and timely. Mr. Muradyan is a talented, compassionate general contractor who took the time to learn about what we wanted. My daughter's family also employed his company for their home renovations in La Canada Flintridge with similar wonderful results. If you manage to nab this company to do your construction work, you are truly fortunate. They are a gem. read more

Murad and his team were truly a pleasure to work with. We bought a fixer in Alhambra and did a complete gut on the project.

I would highly recommend them. read more

Most people probably know how difficult it is to find a descent contractor that doesn't take you for a ride! Calecco are the group you certainly TRUST! I called for a quote, not expecting much and Andre came out to the site. He was extremely professional and honest. I didn't get any nonsense from him and he was direct and to the point. He even suggested alternatives that would be more cost effective to me! The work completed was A1! Great work, excellent communication and professional beyond belief! I will and have recommended Calecco to all my friends, family and colleagues! read more

After doing weeks of research, my husband and I finally found the company to do the construction work on our house. We contacted Murad via yelp and within an hour we kindly discussed what we wanted and he set up an appointment to come and look at what we had in mind. His professional and confident attitude made us not think twice on hiring him for the job. I had a vision in mind that I wanted and Murad wrote it all down and said all my samples will be ready soon for our approval to start the project. Fast forward to the day it started: Murad arrived with his team 8am sharp and were ready to start the project. He went over what we wanted and involved us in the meeting so we were aware how the demolition and the overall process was going to start. Long story short, if there are a million way to say thank you we would. In all honesty we couldnt be happier. Our vision came to life and would even say it exceeded our expectations. Thank you sooo much Murad! Five stars is not enough! read more

Andre and his crew did a great job on our house remodel. He was always helpful and Answered all my questions.

Our experience with Calecco was ultimately about what one hears about contractors in general. In the end I'm generally satisfied with the work we had done, but the process was riddled with miscommunication. Much of the ordeal could have been easily avoided with more effective and consistent communication. read more

I was long over due on doing a addition/ remodeling project on my house. I decided last September 2014 to get the ball rolling. I was refereed to CALECCO by a neighbor of mine which had a kitchen remodel done by them and was very happy. I had Andre come out and I went over what my plans were and what I had envisioned (which was apparently not allowed by our city due to set backs and a few other regulations). Even though I was initially bummed out, Andre was quick to offer solutions that met the cities guidelines, which meant part of my addition would be 2 stories, to allow room for my master suite. I decided to hire the Architect he recommended (who I was also very pleased with). They prepared the plans worked out all the details with me and got approval from the city. The scope of our project was; adding a master suite, enlarging the family room, kitchen remodel, powder room remodel, new driveway and some other misc. work. Thats when Andre and his crew started our project. Off course since my house is a 60 year old house there was some unexpected surprises but Andre handled everything very well with minimal cost. I was pleased with every aspect of there work, from customer service to the quality of the work preformed. One thing I was really impressed by is the attention to details. Andre would spend so much time talking to me about little design elements, how to position the lights, where to put switches, all things which I thought were pointless at the time. But now I realize all those little things really do add up to make a great finished product. All around it was a pleasure working with Calecco, I have heard so many contractor horror stories and am super glad I made the decision to go with them. Big thank you to Andre and the rest of the team at Calecco. read more

It has taken me a few months to write this review...it took me that long to come to terms with what happened and let my emotions go away. We hired Calecco Construction for both a remodel and an addition to our house in Pasadena. Overall we worked with them for 10 months, on a project that they told me would only take 4 months to complete. Some of the hold-ups were because of permits and I don't fault them for that, but the rest was extremely poor management - both time management and managing expectations. I have many stories I could tell you about working with Calecco, but the one that stands out the most and shows you the type of people these are happened the final days of the project. On a Friday night Murad and his team were in the house working on finishing touches. Around 6pm Murad said they were done for the day and we would see them the next day. They left the house with boxes around, no shelving, no fixtures in the bathroom, and it looked like they were coming back the next morning. We didn't see them again for 3 weeks, and that was after we finally threatened to sue them. We texted, called, e-mailed, did everything we could to communicate with them and didn't hear back for 3 weeks. When we finally sat down to discuss the lawsuit Murad tells us that every project has to end and that is how he chose to end ours. These are the type of people you are hiring if you hire Calecco. To your face they are nice and they will say whatever you want to hear. Their work is standard but the finishes need a lot of work. Basically, if you want to be impressed by your contractor, don't hire these people. If you are ok with standard work, a delayed timeline, and frustration, go for it. read more
