Back in March, while searching for a contractor, I came across G&M and was amazed by their Yelp…read morerating--115 reviews and a perfect 5.0 stars. At the time, we had already received two quotes for a full master bathroom renovation. The first quote came from a reputable firm, and while their service seemed solid, their vision for the project didn't align with ours. They were focused on chrome fixtures and vinyl materials, whereas my wife and I wanted a more upscale design featuring brass finishes and marble. The second quote was much cheaper, but it was clear that corners would be cut and problems would likely arise. We weren't interested in dealing with those kinds of headaches. We decided to give G&M a call and at least have a conversation. I spoke with Joe, the owner, who came across as knowledgeable, professional, and straightforward. He arranged for Jonah, the project manager, to meet with us, and we were immediately impressed by his positive attitude and "can-do" approach. From the start, it felt like he and his company were the right fit for our project. We were able to agree on a very competitive price, and the design plan the team developed exceeded our expectations. Throughout the renovation, the crew--Danny, Philipe, Edan, and the rest of the team--were punctual, hardworking, respectful, and genuinely pleasant to have in our home. Jonah was outstanding from start to finish. He solved problems, answered every question, and consistently went the extra mile to make sure everything was done right. Now that the project is complete, we absolutely love our new bathroom. Looking back, we know we would not be nearly as happy or satisfied had we chosen either of the other contractors. Jonah and his team truly deliver five-star service, and now we understand exactly why G&M has earned such an incredible reputation. The next time we have a home improvement project, we know exactly who we'll be calling.

We had an incredible experience with G&M Home Remodeling, and especially with Joe, the owner. From…read morethe very beginning, Joe made us feel confident and supported through every step of our remodel. We interviewed three different contractors, and Joe was the only one who took the time to truly understand our vision. He met with us not once, but twice, to go over our goals in detail, including our budget. And never once pressured us to go beyond it! As first-timer tackling a major renovation, his honest advice (including what he would do if he were in our shoes) was incredibly valuable and reassuring. This was a massive project: remodeling three bathrooms, replacing sewer pipes under both the front and back of the house, mold remediation, asbestos removal, modernizing the exterior, painting inside and out, updating trim, swapping chandeliers and canned lighting, replacing interior doors, and installing a new front door and garage door. Joe truly has teams for everything, that is skilled professionals he's worked with for 10+ years and it shows in the quality and coordination of the work. His crew was consistently kind, respectful, and punctual. Every morning they showed up on time and treated our home with care. With a small child in the house, safety was a huge concern for us, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was secure and safe for her at all times. Joe also made sure no corners were cut. He handled permits thoroughly and professionally, and when we ran into a particularly difficult inspector, Joe personally came to the house to ensure everything was up to code so we wouldn't face further delays. That level of ownership and commitment is rare. We constantly get compliments from friends and neighbors about how our 1960s home looks completely transformed, in the best way. We liked our house when we bought it, but now we absolutely LOVE it, and that's all because of Joe and his team. Joe is just a genuinely warm, lovely person who truly goes above and beyond. We can't say enough good things about him. If you're considering a contractor, don't hesitate - G&M Home Remodeling is the one.

Assaf and Ron were great, and so were all their subcontractors. They are extremely experienced and had no issues completing the work and passing each inspection the first try. We went through another service to get permits, and unfortunately it was missing an entire page. Assaf and Ron worked directly with the engineer to get the page drafted, submitted to Burbank, and magically had it approved within 2 weeks, with no disruption at all to progressing the work. They completed the work within their estimated time. They also cleaned up every day. We were both able to continue working from home through the entire process. Pricing was very reasonable for the work that was done. We got about 8 quotes and theirs came right in the middle. They gave a detailed quote and there were no surprises with the payments later. Their greatest and most appreciated skill is communication. They always picked up the phone or texted/called you back within minutes. This was our first major construction project and they answered all our million questions and had the relationships with the vendors to modify items to what we were hoping for. The finished product is exactly what we wanted. You can see from the before and after pictures it all turned out beautifully. Thanks Assaf and Ron!!

We knew this wasn't a project to hand off to just anyone, we needed a true expert, someone who could steer us through every twist and turn with confidence. That's exactly what we found in Mike. From our very first meeting, Mike had a calm, reassuring presence that told us we were in good hands. He listened closely to our vision, asked the right questions, and laid out a clear path forward that immediately put our minds at ease. And trust us, our minds needed easing, we came to him with a steady stream of nervous, sometimes repetitive questions, and he never once made us feel like a burden. He answered every single one with patience, warmth, and genuine reassurance. Communication was a true highlight of working with Mike. He kept us updated at every stage, so we always knew exactly where things stood. What could have been an incredibly stressful, all-consuming process instead felt manageable, even exciting. He also took the reins on coordinating with city inspectors throughout the entire build, handling all the back-and-forth so we didn't have to lift a finger. That alone lifted a massive weight off our shoulders. And the icing on the cake? He finished the entire project ahead of the estimated timeline, without ever cutting corners on quality or care. If you're on the fence about a big build like this, let us save you the trouble: call Mike. He turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one we're genuinely grateful for, and the final result speaks for itself. We couldn't recommend him more highly.

Mike applies his experience well with smart changes to the plans that we wouldn't have thought of, and was flexible when we had questions or changes to make. Mike and all of his crews were professional, courteous, and very accommodating (we lived in the house during construction!). Overall we're very happy with Mike as a contractor and with the completed addition!

It was a complex job but we always felt confident Luis and his dad would do a good job based on their prior experience working for a larger foundation repair company. Luis was very easy to work with from coordinating plans/permits, keeping to schedule, and scope changes along the way (LADBS was a PITA). Luis kept in touch every step of the way, and his pricing was the best out of 5+ bids we got. He was always looking out for our bottom line and worked very efficiently. Normally the type of foundation replacement we did requires multiple inspector visits but Luis knew the process well and only required one inspection after the work was done, saving us a lot of money. Change orders were handled professionally and very fair to both sides. Everything turned out great (I'm writing this review a year later after the work was completed). I highly recommend Angel Construction and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

JS Vision Construction performed stucco replacement and structural repairs on the east wall of our…read more4 story condominium building, resolving an issue that caused water intrusion and wood rot. Our HOA Board used Yelp to identify general contractors to bid for the repair work. We had five contractors come out and submit proposals. Before meeting with the contractors, we sent them a rain leak report from a specialist which identified the location of the leak and the areas that needed repair. When we had our initial meeting with JS Vision, the Board was impressed with our interaction with their representative Amir. It was clear he had a real understanding of the problem before we met, and provided a clear outline of the steps and process needed to fix our issue. He also provided the quote in a timely manner, whereas some of the other contractors took weeks to provide their proposal. After review of the proposals, the HOA Board unanimously chose move forward with JS Vision. Amir and JS Vision were the most knowledgeable during our initial meeting, and their proposal was competitive. Once the construction started, JS Vision make sure we had the proper LA City permits, and the repair work was done to current city code. The workers JS Vision utilized were courteous, responsive, and always cleaned up at the end of the day which, was appreciated by all residents of the building. The repairs performed on both the exterior and interior of our condo building were high quality, and it was clear JS Vision takes pride in their work. Amir continuously checked in with us during the project to provide updates on timing, and quickly addressed and resolved any concerns we brought up during the repairs. I highly recommend JS Vision Construction. This is a contractor who delivered what they promised, and are very capable for any condominium repairs. Our HOA Board will reach out to JS Vision for future building projects.

Later, "Jacob" called me back later and expressed condescending concern that I had ONLY a $150K budget. I told him that's where the budget starts, not ends and asked him what the true cost was. He responded back that it's between $300 and $450 a square foot. So I told him, "Okay, if my calculations are correct, if I go with $350 a square foot so I'm not at the rock bottom, and I multiply that by 600 sq ft for a small ADU, that is roughly $210K for a price starting point with your company?" "Well no it's not exactly... "Then what did I miss?" "Well there's all sorts of other things blah blah blah..." Overall the tone was condescending and he made it clear that I didn't know what I was talking about, when in fact I have 15 years experience as a home designer that designs and budgets facelifts on houses that are about to go up for sale. I have dealt with contractors for many, many years. Eventually I got fed up with his tone and told him to cancel the appointment.

I was promised my project would be completed in 8 weeks, it took more than 5 months before I finally cut my losses with this company. I'm now searching for another contractor to fix the poor workmanship of this company. They installed a clear glass window in my bathroom and when I asked why they did that they asked why I waited a month to question it. They remodeled my master bathroom and the water is leaking into the wall. Every time I brought an issue to their attention they gave me a hard time about it and repeatedly told me they were already over budget with the project. They do not complete the work themselves they hire subcontractors to do the work for them. This is fine if they were honest about it in the beginning. The only time I saw the project manager after the work started was when he came to collect a payment. That was also the only time he gave me an update on the project. I tried to deal with someone different in the company and he was not any better. This company is poorly ran and they do not operate as they say they advertise on their website. The contractor was deceitful by changing out the toilet to pass the city inspection, then installed the actual toilets I purchased. He did not know the city required dual flush toilets. I wasted a lot of money with this contractor. Be careful!
