We contracted Westside Remodeling to rehab our 30-year-old original builder's kitchen. Westside…read moreinitially provided a proposal for all new cabinets, countertops, tile, etc. As our budget did not accommodate cabinet replacement, Westside then provided an alternate proposal for repainting the existing maple cabinets, which we did instead, with an excellent result. We selected the new countertops from samples in their showroom, then shopped on our own for the tile backsplash, all new appliances and fixtures. Westside was very flexible in allowing us to be hands-on with the process and our selections. For Clients who prefer more creative guidance, Westside offers in-house design services. Jonathan and the entire Westside team were exceptional in their care and concern for the Client. Further, their various tradespeople were friendly and competent without exception. Importantly, they also finished within budget and estimated timeline. Although we have held off painting the kitchen walls and restoring the floor tile pending completion of other work planned for our home, we have already settled into our "mostly new" kitchen. We are enjoying cooking again vs. the dingy, outdated workspace we had previously. (Check out the Before & After photos we posted with this review.)

We cannot say enough good things about Rabin General Construction and Richard. From day one,…read moreRichard has been incredibly responsive -- always quick to answer texts and calls, and consistently keeping us updated throughout every step of the process. We initially hired RGC to replace four nail-in windows and one slider because we were experiencing interior water leaks. The work was done quickly and perfectly. We were so impressed that we hired them again for painting and a water heater replacement. Months later, our upstairs (brand new) Milgard windows began leaking. Richard came out right away. He brought in their supplier, Agoura Sash & Door, and even coordinated two separate inspections with Milgard's warranty team. Both times, Milgard said the issue wasn't covered. Instead of walking away or blaming the manufacturer, Richard stood behind the job. He paid out of his own pocket to replace the windows again -- including tearing out stucco, redoing drywall, repainting -- everything. That kind of integrity and accountability is extremely rare in construction. If you want a contractor who truly stands behind his work and treats customers the right way, call Richard. We would hire him again without hesitation.

I just completed an accessibility renovation project with Richard Rabin and his RGC team. To say…read morethat I am happy would be an understatement. The professionalism and skill of Richard and his entire crew made the experience pleasant and low stress. I knew that everything was taken care of and it felt as if they cared about the work and finished product as much as I did. I am a disabled veteran who hired RGC to make my home and property more accessible for me. It was important to me that I work with people who understood my needs. They took the time to educate me on all of the possible options along with sharing some ideas that I hadn't even considered. Through a long and convoluted process working with the VA to get all of the approvals Richard never wavered. Everything was done on time and on budget. The quality of the work was top notch. It felt like working with a true partner and not just hiring someone to do a job. My home is now transformed and I'm very grateful. This work that we completed as a team will not just benefit me. I also host spiritual and meditation sessions here for a larger community of people that will now get to enjoy all of the improvements. Thank you to Richard and his RGC crew.

He promised us he'd have an estimate within 5 days but actually provided it, with a CAD, in 3 hours. My husband and I were shocked at how reasonable the estimate was. In fact it was so reasonable it allowed us to splurge on extras, like a blind-corner pullout cabinet. He estimated it would take 4-6 weeks to complete, which was less than half the time of the other quotes we received. Guess what? He had them ready in 2 weeks. The installation was a master class on attention to detail. The paint job was outstanding. We are absolutely thrilled with how the cabinetry turned out. Honestly we are trying to find other cabinetry projects for Dan because we miss him!

I reached out to MDM back in early 2025 and met with Mike right away so he could look at my…read moreproperty and walk me through what my wife and I wanted for our project. 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!

Definitely recommend MDM Remodeling if you're doing a bathroom remodel in Los Angeles we'll be using them again.

Recently completed a bathroom renovation project by Focil Construction. Truly amazing work and…read morehaving them take lead on design was key to me getting the bathrooms I really wanted. Working with Stephanie on the design process helped to see the vision through her high quality bathroom renderings. The Project Manager, Joe Focil, is a creative problem solver and is able to deal with any unforeseen issues that can arise on any construction project. So happy with Focil Construction's work!

Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience with Focil Construction. I should have known that…read morethey were not trustworthy when they verbally made promises (such as the renovation would be complete by Thanksgiving) but then wrote a different date (end of December) into the contract. When I questioned why the contract said end of December, Joseph told me that the contract required adding an additional month. When I received the schedule of work, that too said the project would be completed by the end of December. I was not living yet in the property and renting, so the additional month added another $2,300 onto the project that I wasn't expecting. I asked for them not to charge me for additional fabrication and installation of the stone which they refused but they did end up finishing by the end of November so that I could get my furniture out of the rental so that I would not be charged for another month. This was not the only reason I began not to trust them any longer. I ordered the stone through the family of a friend, and the owner of the store asked for the name, address and phone number of the fabricator. I asked Catalina for this information. She gave me the correct address because the stone needed to be delivered there; however, she lied about the name of the fabricator. As you can see in the screenshot, she said the name was Israel when it's in fact Olympus. She supplied her own phone number as the number of the fabricator. Anytime I see lying, I wonder the motive, and I start to question everything. In addition, on the contract, the square footage was greater than the entire area of my condo. Again, I had questioned this when I signed the contract and Catalina assured me that I would only be charge for work done. I later had to argue with Joseph to get him to reduce the amount he was charging to the actual square footage which I estimated by taking the number of boxes of wood and multiplying by the square footage per box. Joseph told me that they used every single piece of wood in every box, but, as you can see in the attached photo, there was a box still sealed that had not been used. If I had not questioned this, it would have been $700 more. When I began to question the integrity of Joseph and Catalina, I did more research. The amount of glue needed for the wood floor is 30-35 square feet per gallon. I confirmed this with another flooring installer who works for the friend from whom I purchased the wood floor. In the attached, you will see that I was charged for 8 bucket of glue (5 gallons in each bucket) at $207 each. That is literally twice the recommended amount for the 650 square feet of wood that they installed. Also, I provided 4 buckets of the same glue for the padding that went underneath the floor. At $207 each bucket, I was overcharged more than $800. This led me to question the linear square feet of baseboard which I just got done measuring. I was charge for 240 square feet; however, the linear square footage of what I measured was 160 square feet, quite a difference and an additional charge of almost $500. There was an additional issue with the electrical outlet for the refrigerator. The appliance store was not able to install the refrigerator, because the cord would not reach to the outlet where they had placed it. I ended up having to pay for an additional visit from the appliance store ($75). I asked Joseph if he would reimburse me for this since he was responsible for installing the outlet in the correct location. He never responded to me. I definitely feel that Joseph and Catalina took advantage of me and my lack of knowledge and experience with renovation work. I wasn't able to catch all of the overcharges before paying for them, and it added to the already exorbitant cost of the renovation. I wish I had gone with a different contractor.

It was a small job; refinishing the kitchen/family room floors, installing new baseboards and a new electrical outlet, some demo of the fireplace mantle, and paint. After he gave me the quote, I called two of his references. Never heard back from one but the other was getting ready to hire him again for another job. The reference was really good; I asked about things like delays (there were none), fixing problems that came up (they were fixed), overall satisfaction with the job (very satisfied). I hired Decotal. They started a few days later; it seemed like I barely had time to move the furniture out of the room before they were there. They did demo first, removing the old mantle and baseboards, and then did the floors (this took several days but they were there each day). Ophir was there almost every day and continually inspecting the work. There were a few minor issues which were fixed as soon as I pointed them out. Tomas, the painter, was great! When they were done, there was some dust but not a lot. I did take all of the drawers out of the kitchen and emptied the cupboards and pantry. Not everything went back... I took the opportunity to do some spring cleaning. I really love the look of the new room; it's very updated now.

Although there it's to be expected to have some glitches (which we did), most of them weren't an issue with Yigal, YB or any of his crew, but they accommodated and did whatever they could to keep us on track and complete the tasks.

Personally for me not following through on a clear commitment and not communicating at all reflects poor work ethic and reliability. Based on this experience, I would not recommend their services.
