We had an incredible experience working with Michael and Baldo at Bela Development. As first-time…read morerenovators, we were understandably nervous, but they guided us through every detail with patience, expertise, and care. They completed a full gut renovation of our primary bathroom and a renovation of our guest bath, and the results exceeded our expectations. The tile work is absolutely gorgeous, the attention to detail is next level, and the job site was kept impeccably clean--which was especially important since my partner and I were living in the house with our dogs throughout the project. That level of thoughtfulness made a huge difference. Baldo was amazing at problem-solving and offering smart ideas and workarounds, especially given the surprises that come with an older home (ours was built in 1977). Michael was equally outstanding--always diligent, responsive, and proactive in addressing any questions or concerns I had along the way. We were so happy with their work that we've already had them back to update our kitchen with new backsplash and tile work, as well as an outdoor bar. I can't recommend Bela Development highly enough. Skilled, trustworthy, and a true pleasure to work with from start to finish.

From the start, Tom and his team were easy to communicate with, responsive, and clear about the process. The project was finished two weeks earlier than expected, which was a great plus for us to be able to move in back sooner. When unexpected and unforeseen issues came up, Tom handled everything very professionally. He took the time to explain what was going on, walked us through our options, and helped us choose solutions that made sense - all without surprise costs and while staying within our budget. The quality of the work was solid, the crew was respectful and clean, and we always felt informed and comfortable throughout the project. We're very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Bela Development to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable contractor.

We had a fantastic experience with Alpha Structural on a challenging structural project. We needed…read moreto replace a 25-foot beam in our cathedral ceiling and sister lots of rafters--work that could have easily turned into a major disruption if done from the exterior. The team found a smart solution to complete the entire project from inside the house, which allowed us to avoid opening the roof and dealing with weather exposure. That alone gave us a lot of peace of mind. Aldo, the structural assessor, was especially helpful throughout the process--patient with our many questions, clear in his communication, and thorough. Erick was consistently responsive as things came up. On site, Gilberto did excellent work with the team and provided steady, capable support through the build. Overall, we're very grateful for their professionalism, problem-solving approach, and the quality of the finished work.

We went back and forth proposing solutions to the drainage issues and where to put the stairs - they really listened to all our ideas and improved them. Their proposed amazing drainage solutions are effective and work great. The quality of their work and planning was top tier. They were respectful of our property and left the place clean when the job was done. It's not easy to find contractors you trust, but these guys absolutely delivered. We're extremely happy with the results and would recommend them without hesitation.

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. Would definitely trust him with your home.

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.

I was satisfied with every job that Michael did through the years. The crews that he hired were always friendly and efficient. To sum it up, I am 91, going on 92, and still living in my own home because of the invaluable services of Michael Hoff. He built a concrete block retaining wall at the back of my property to hold the hillside up. This included tree and root removal, excavating the earth, installing steel Re Bar, pour a large concrete footing, and install CMU block retaining wall with grouting. He upgraded my electrical system, including installing a new panel, adding new circuits, and several new AC outlets. He replaced broken underground and sewer drain lines under the front yard, and added an earthquake shut-off valve. He replaced the underground water service line with copper from the house to the meter at the curb. He replaced an old galvanized water pipe, re-piped the entire house with copper, and installed a new water heater. He replaced a dangerous leaking, underground gas service line with yellow polyethylene pipe.

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.

Sharon was a good communicator, and Federico did a great job with attention to detail on the repairs and painting.

The entire team is amazing and while big home projects are often stressful, Sharon and his team made it a positive experience. The biggest thing for me was that they were able to complete the work (including clean-up) within the timeframe we agreed on. When we consulted Sharon with our project, he had a "can do" mindset and really listened to what I wanted while also giving solid advice. I've had bad luck with contractors before and been gaslit at times, but Sharon's approach of having an actual conversation and putting the customer first made us go with his team. While most remodels require you to acquire materials on your own, Sharon connected us with Tile and Shower door folks (and they also had nothing but good things to say about him). I appreciate how he'd always check in to make sure we have all the items ready (i.e. vanity, toilet, etc.), and he'd always drop in to check on the progress. Eddie and his team were absolute professionals and do everything with care and precision. Really liked how he'd always double-check things with us down to the smallest detail (e.g. paint colors, door hinges, etc.). Pricing, I'd say they're within average of the estimates we received. Totally worth it and highly recommend them. Next time I have another big project, I'm definitely reaching out to them.
