Even though in the end we didn't touch the shower, it was mainly because of Ruslan's detailed explanation of what the work would entail.

He offered to talk with me by phone and patiently explained what was going on, which I really appreciated because I honestly didn't even understand how that part of the sink worked.

We recently completed a major home addition and remodel with M.R. Design and Build, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and deeply committed to quality craftsmanship. They took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life with thoughtful design and flawless execution. The new addition blends seamlessly with the original structure, and the remodeled spaces feel modern, functional, and beautiful. Every detail--from the custom cabinetry to the upgraded finishes--was done with care and precision. Communication was excellent throughout the project. We always knew what to expect next, and any questions or concerns we had were addressed promptly. The crew was respectful of our home, kept the site clean, and completed the project on time and within budget. If you're looking for a reliable, talented, and trustworthy team for your home renovation or addition, I highly recommend M.R. Design and Build. They truly exceeded our expectations. read more

Working with the insurance was a pain, luckily Gil had experience working with Allstate insurance before, and he helped us a lot getting the money we needed to rebuild our home. The planning process took a bit longer than what we initially planned for. The county of LA took their sweet time approving our plans. Fortunately, after 2 sets of revisions we were fully approved. The construction wasn't bad at all, they had plenty of guys working on our home at the same time. The only time there was no work, was on inspection days. The finishes was one thing that was extremely important for us. My wife and I are detail oriented and wanted to make sure we're choosing the right company to do the finish work correctly.

I had a rough vision in mind for fitting a lot into a relatively small space, but wanted to see the options rendered so I could better make the big layout and design decisions. Alexis was very patient and super helpful in mocking up each iteration until we locked in the final design. Once it was time to actually break ground, Gil, Oren, Uriel, and the rest of the team were really responsive and always available by text. Unlike previous contractors we've worked with, they usually gave us an idea of what was happening the next day/week and who to expect onsite. The first ~70% of the project went really smoothly and far exceeded my expectations. Demo, framing, rough plumbing, and electrical all largely went without a hitch. We ran into some problems towards the end around communication, timeline, and subcontractor oversight -- which led to more delays when someone punctured our new in-wall toilet tank and flooded both the bathroom and bedroom. We know every construction job runs into challenges so we weren't bent out of shape by it, and we did appreciate that GHB took full responsibility for fixing the issues. By and large we were really impressed by most of their subcontractors, especially the very professional and considerate plumbing, electrical, and tiling teams! After living with our new bathroom for a while now, we can definitely say it was worth the wait, and such a huge improvement over our previous dysfunctional layout. Thanks to GHB for their great service, amazing attitude, attention to detail, and for bringing the bright, colorful bathroom of my dreams to life!
