    Overall excellent. Jim was very thorough, he came back after the initial assessment because he wanted to double-make sure we were going to perform the correct and neccessary repairs. These guys are also super on time, never showed up late or they let me know way in advance. It was easy to get a hold of them with some special requests I had on my side. Angel and his team were awesome too, good communicators and they didn't leave a mess at the construction site.

    Jim and the LA Structural team were wonderful to work with, professional, and efficient! We worked with them to retrofit our foundation after recently purchasing our house and finished the work in about 3 days, left everything clean as well. We were given before/after photos, full working floorplans to keep, and they handled all the permitting process. Highly recommend LA Structural!

    Finished wall and stairs.

    LA Structural just finished a very challenging retaining wall project for us and did an excellent job! We needed to replace an old timber retaining wall in our yard that was failing. The new retaining wall is ten feet high and spans the length of our yard and includes stairs to the lower level. Our hillside presented a lot of challenges for Dale and his team, including building a chute to remove debris, designing around an existing wall and necessary setbacks, having to hand dig the 24 foot deep caissons, protecting our tree at the top of the wall, and protecting the hillside during all the storms this past winter. We are very happy with the results and feel confident the wall is solidly constructed and blends in with our Spanish-style house and existing improvements. Dale and his team were great to work with, addressed issues as they arose, and kept us well informed of the schedule and progress. They dealt with all of the City inspection and permit requirements. We would not hesitate to recommend LA Structural to anyone having to undertake a similar project.

    I got about five bids for my whole-house remodel, and Creative Innovation Developers stood out for…read moretheir great communication and solid references. Their pricing was comparable to others, but the ability to visit their in-progress projects gave me confidence. I'm very very particular, and while no remodel is perfect, Creative worked to bring my vision to life. My advice: plan everything in detail beforehand--or hire a designer. To save costs, I handled all the design myself while working full-time, which was highly stressful. Having everything mapped out helps avoid delays, last-minute changes, or compromising on your vision. Golan and Jordan were fantastic--Golan handled planning and communication, and Jordan ensured everything stayed on track. They always responded to my texts in a reasonable amount of time. Their tile crew was exceptional (I often bumped into them because they worked long hours and weekends to complete my home and were really nice and respectful people), and they tiled nearly my entire house beautifully (we're talking 2000 sq ft of flooring, 3 bathrooms, and a fireplace). I appreciated that Creative didn't nickel and dime me for small changes, and when a gas leak was discovered (due to careless cabinetry work), they fixed it--and more (we found more leaks during the repairs)--without extra charges. Despite delays beyond their control, they completed the full renovation in about six months--from pulling permits to final inspection. Major work included a new kitchen, three bathrooms, tile flooring throughout, interior paint, a new electrical panel, and whole-house LED recessed lighting. Even after the job was done, they returned to fix small issues without hesitation. That kind of follow-up is rare in a world full of disappearing contractors. I would recommend Creative for any remodeling project, big or small.

The project ran about six months. The short version: we'd hire them again. The longer version: Jacob, the design lead, is the reason we went with them. He has a genuine passion for old buildings and pushed to preserve original details that another contractor would have torn out without a second thought. That instinct matters when you're working on something irreplaceable. Ken managed the project more quietly but kept things moving. And when issues came up after the job was done -- after the final check had been cashed -- Jacob, Ken, and the owner Sage came back and made it right. That's not nothing. That's actually rare. Were there setbacks? Yes. If you've hired contractors in LA, especially on older properties, you know what you're signing up for. New Dawn isn't immune to that reality. They're not the cheapest option and not the most expensive either. But they're the kind of crew that stands behind their work, and in this city, that's worth writing a review about.

We met with…read moreseveral contractors at the start, but were immediately drawn to Guil's energy, vision, and attention to detail. Our project included a full kitchen, family room, and bathroom remodel in our 1920s Pasadena home. From day one, communication was outstanding. We had consistent on-site management--often meeting with a project manager daily--and Guil himself was frequently on-site and always accessible by phone to discuss details and answer questions. The team kept us informed every step of the way and stayed on schedule, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. For major design decisions, they provided 3D renderings that helped us clearly visualize the end result and feel confident in our choices. Pricing was very fair for the level of quality and service provided, and Guil frequently went above and beyond--often including thoughtful upgrades at his own expense. We've already recommended MDRN Remodeling to family and fully plan to work with them again on future projects. If you're looking for a contractor who treats your home with care and truly values your vision, MDRN Remodeling is an excellent choice. Thank you to MDRN Remodeling for an amazing experience and for bringing our dream home to life!

After some tough negotiating in the beginning, Eyal delivered on our Bathroom remodel. We had a 4 week timeline and made it just a few days behind schedule which is pretty good for a construction project! Eyal spent time with us designing the project, sent us what we needed to choose from and showed us some really great tile and hardware options. All of the workers who came by were extremely nice and respectful and worked very hard to deliver our bathroom. With only a few minor hiccups which are totally expected on a remodel such as this one, we are super happy with the result and look forward to working on the next one with MDRN!

I had a crew out to my house the very next day. They removed the entire step and used all new composite material. There is no paint that will peel, no splits in wood. Spacing of the planks is perfect. I would absolutely hire them again. EDITED TO NOTE, I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY THE COMPANY. THEY ARE VERY WILLING TO CORRECT THE ISSUES. I AM PLEASED ABOUT THAT. I WILL UPDATE FURTHER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I spent approximately $75,000 with this company. The paving job was the main job. Front, driveway and backyard. They did an awesome job on the pavers. The small job was to add a wooden step around an existing wood deck. This is where everything fell apart. The planks were laid at different distances apart. The paint bubbled in numerous places. The Redwood they said they used, has split down the center of some pieces. Josef was responsive to my complaints and sent out the worker to repair. This happened 3 times. He repaired the wood cracks with "bondo". There are so many layers of paint, it's peeling off. I gave this company one year and 3 attempts to make this step look as it should. It's now been almost 1.5 years and now it's time to let the world know...DO NOT HIRE WAY TO GO BUILDERS for any wood projects. You will be wasting your money. I'm attaching pictures.

Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Our project manager Tamir was exceptional -- responsive, organized, and clearly invested in the quality of the work. He kept the job moving at a surprisingly fast pace and promptly resolved issues as they arose. Pricing was competitive -- we got multiple estimates and Way To Go came in reasonable without cutting corners. You can see it in the finish quality: the stonework is clean, the tile on the curved bench is precise, and the side yard pathway turned out better than we imagined. Our pool cleaner gave high praise on the resurfacing work when he arrived for the first cleaning! Highly recommend for anyone looking to transform their outdoor space -- quality work, fair pricing, and a timeline that'll surprise you.

Roy also updated my entry door and added recessed lighting in the dining room, which tied everything together beautifully.

He is a competent professional and trusted contractor with a solid team of subcontractors who have been doing this work for decades. With this renovation, we brought our 1912 Craftsman bungalow down to the studs. This was a full-gut renovation that involved replacing all mechanicals, drywall, new bathrooms, new kitchen and doing a primary bath addition. With Gary's construction expertise, we were able to restore the home while maintaining its original charm and bring our design to life. Some of Gary's many contributions included framing a new tray/drop ceiling, installing custom window and door casings to match the originals. He also rebuilt the front porch railings and reinforced the porch ceiling so it would accommodate a porch swing. He built our backyard studio shed in just a couple days and it's adorable. While nearly everything is new, you can't tell. And that is a compliment to the quality of craftsmanship. Gary doesn't cut corners and it shows. It is very important that you trust your contractor and that they have integrity and do what they say they are going to do. Experience is also very important. Gary has all of this.
