When planning the remodel of our kitchen we evaluated 7 contractors and chose Manchen because they had proof of their prior successful projects and the lead contractor David Lior was eager to win the business but not overbearing. We were pleased to see that pattern continue during the work itself as David led an extensive team to do what we expect a professional contractor to do: offer ideas and expertise, perform quality work, and drive through obstacles to keep the project moving amid several frustrating hurdles and delays caused by a long HOA approval process as well as the various required government permits (building, electrical and plumbing). Through the process they were honest and open and collaborative. We chose colors, materials and designs with their expert guidance and input. On a couple of occasions their advice saved us from our own bad ideas and resulted in a much-improved final outcome. And when little things went off track (as things inevitably do in large projects) Manchen stepped up consistently to make the changes needed. We think the results speak for themselves. read more

The construction workers for Manchen are very professional and talented. The company removed all of the old "popcorn " ceilings from the 1980s and installed this planked ceiling in the living room. We had them replace track lighting with canister lights in the bedroom and hallways. While they were not the "cheapest" of the estimates, one has to remember that "you get what you pay for!" The quality of the workmanship is extraordinary. We were pleased with the final outcome. Communication with the project manager is key and this company stands by this! If you know what you want...let them know and you will have their undivided attention! If you want suggestions for what you want they can do that too. I have been involved with construction for over 12 years, and once we got our vision conveyed Manchen delivered. read more

Working with Denny + the Team an Manchen was so easy. They are consummate professionals and every step of the way they were quickly responsive and totally helpful. As an Interior Designer who focuses on non-remodel AirBnB decor and styling, I didn't have a go-to Contractor. We interviewed many people and instantly loved Denny's vibe, how he carries himself and represented all of Manchen's prowess. With any kitchen remodel there will be hiccups. Each time we came across a problem with the asbestos, mold or change orders, they were thorough and prompt. I will happily refer everyone to Manchen and will definitely use them again for my next remodel client. Thanks everyone! read more

Manchen did a great job of taking on a project that seemed unwieldy. Our condo had extensive water damage, and we had previously interviewed several general contractors--one who rejected the project because of the HOA's rules, another who wrote a sloppy proposal, others who were too busy, and others who didn't respond after our initial contact. A great selling point of Manchen is that they could refinish our cabinets which took down the cost substantially. They did a beautiful job making our cabinets look like new. Ethan Lesin communicated with us about everything, was on top of everything, and made sure we were happy with their work. He addressed work that wasn't on the contract, like fixing our hamper for free and painting an additional wall. He made excellent suggestions for lighting in the kitchen, which improved the look of the kitchen. The degree to which he was attentive to paint touch-ups was above and beyond because they came back a few times to touch up areas they had already done. And he figured out how to add an electrical outlet in a place that we had always wanted but everyone we had asked previously had said it couldn't be done. I will ask for them again when we're ready to remodel our bathrooms. read more

No remodeling experience is perfect, but Manchen comes very, very close! Chen, the owner, exemplifies everything you'd want in someone demolishing (and then rebuilding, of course) a third of your home. He's skilled, polite, patient, and incredibly detail-oriented. But most importantly, he values integrity and runs his entire business with great care and honesty...which means (a) he'll never nickel-and-dime or try to upsell you, (b) he'll respect you, your home, and your shared working relationship enough to correct issues when warranted, and (c) since he takes great pride in his work, that same care is also apparent in every member of his team. So do give Manchen a call if you have any construction needs; I'm confident you'll be more than pleased! read more

We first hired David Lior as contractor last July to remodel a bathroom, including converting the tub into a steam/shower stall. He proved very knowledgeable about the work of all the subcontractors, and of all the pertinent building codes. He made sure the work was done in a timely, professional manner and showed a great attention to detail. We were so satisfied with the outcome of this project that we contracted with him for two more: a kitchen remodel, and a 20x25'patio cover with built-in lights and fan. What most impressed me with David was his continued accessibility. He always did what he said he was going to do and returned texts and phone calls promptly. read more

I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting Chen and discussing our extensive renovation project, and am confident his team would have performed excellent work with the utmost integrity. Although I accepted a bid from another contractor, it was based upon that contractor's experience with projects of our specific character and style. It has been a pleasure to get to know Chen and Manchen Construction, and I will undoubtedly consider them for any future work. read more

My wife and I just recently purchased our first home and it really needed to be updated. We received several estimates before we choose Manchen. Making our choice was easy because Denny was professional, he had great suggestions for our project, and took the time to explain each step of the project. Manchen also has this great tool that lets us log in and check our project schedule and progress. Having this feature helped us understand where our project stood each day and being able to look at the progress photos of our construction was fun and exciting. This tool was great to have because my wife and I work, and we were able to keep track of the process without having to constantly make and answer phone calls just to check in. Denny kept our project within budget and finished right on time. It was a great experience working with Denny and his team. We are so happy with the end results, and highly recommended Manchen! read more

Manchen Construction helped turn my vision for my bathroom remodel into a reality. The quality of the shower tile, flooring and custom mirror/shower glass exceeded my expectations. The installation of the work is really well done and looks exactly as I had envisioned and communicated. Although there are certainly some areas of improvement in terms of better communication and efficiency, my family and I are overall really happy with the quality that Chen delivered for the services with the bathroom remodel, all new hardwood flooring and painting in our home. read more

This was my first time ever doing a renovation project and I really appreciated Gabe and Rafael's guidance throughout the process. I remodeled the master bathroom of my condo and they were able to complete the project in time for my move-in date. I absolutely love how it turned out, the quality of work is very high. The tile was installed impeccably and it really upgraded the overall feel of the master bedroom/bathroom area. The construction workers were all very talented and professional. read more

A few months ago I had a Bad Leak from my neighbor's toilet above (very gross). The damage was obviously extensive enough that I decided to start over and redo the whole bathroom. I interviewed multiple contractors, and Chose David Lior from Manchen Construction. He was willing to work with me on Price and was helpful and professional; troubleshooting through the whole process. I'm very pleased with the results, see attached pictures. I look forward to working with the company again when I'm ready. read more

When we decided to put our Culver City condo on the market, we knew we wanted to update the bathroom with a new walk-in shower, so we started to look for a contractor for the job. Yelp lead us to Manchen Construction and we are so grateful it did! Denny and his team were responsive, helpful, reliable and so talented. We couldn't be happier with how the shower turned out! It was exactly what we wanted and ended up being the absolute highlight of our property. Our condo sold quickly, before other units in the same building and for a higher list price, and we know the shower renovation was the reason it did. If you are looking for a great team to transform your space and deliver you the exact result you are hoping for, look no further than Manchen. We will be recommending them to family and friends from here on out. read more

I'm not going to recommend a contractor unless I really, really liked them. I recommend Manchen. Super-responsive, answered every question and concern I had through the process, high quality work, and their entire team cares: from Denny, the point person/main contractor, to his office staff...everyone just seemed to really CARE! read more

Three stars for initial prompt, friendly communication. Unfortunately after the meeting and consult, Chen went MIA for ten days and didn't respond to emails. He did finally reply to my text but mixed me up with another client. It took another few days and another text before he let me know that actually we needed to consult with an architect which we were happy to do - but would have been nice to know that two weeks ago. We decided to go with another contractor that gave more timely communication because if the communication is spotty now, how will it be during the actual renovation? read more

My wife and I were looking to remodel the kitchen for our first home, we were a bit nervous because we were newbies to the process of doing a remodel. Manchen Construction was very helpful guiding us through the stressful process every step of the way. Their estimates were accurate and their communication was quick and helpful. When we needed something explained, such as plumbing mechanics or electrical codes, they were very knowledgeable and helpful. We were also very comfortable leaving them to work on our house while we were away during the day. If you're looking to hire a team that has an artistic eye, modern taste and premium craftsmanship, then you will be happy with Manchen Construction. read more

Love our new kitchen. Lior (David) was referred to us by a close friend, and honestly the best method to finding a trustworthy contractor these days, and we are extremely satisfied with our experience! Keeping in mind that renovations never go exactly as planned, on top of that we personally threw many curveballs due to unexpected factors of our own. With that in consideration, Lior worked so hard to cater to our family's needs and checked in on us every step of the way. From my past experiences, communication is key, and Lior ALWAYS got back to my messages right away. Not only do we LOVE our new kitchen and renovations throughout our home, but we are grateful for Lior's and Manchen's every best efforts to help this process go as smooth as it could possible go. Thank you thank you! Will be recommending and working with Lior again! read more

They have a $5000 minimum labor job. That's pretty ridiculous. Talk about taking advantage of the situation, economic times, and housing crisis. read more

Man I've worked with sooooo many construction and remodeling companies over the years... from the Valley to the OC.... ! A friend of mine referred me to Manchen Construction and at first I was thinking "great... let's see how it goes..." I have to admit.. I was skeptical... but in the end, it worked out marvelously. And man were these guys quick!!! My friend and I took over a Spa, yes a Spa, and we needed some remodeling, actually a total makeover! They did the measurements, showed us all of our options, and were in and out within a couple of weeks! They even handled all of the city permit work. They helped us with a lot of the designs and I could really tell that they put an amazing effort in for everything to look aesthetically awesome! I now know where to go if I need to change things up. Maybe I should install a steam room.. hmm.. be careful with the awesome ideas they give you!!! (though they never pressured me to go over my budget). read more

Chen with Manchen Construction is easily one of the most pleasant and most professional contractors I've had the opportunity to meet! In planning our remodeling projects, my husband and I reviewed bids from no fewer than eight different contractors -- a process that was time-consuming and, as first-time renovators, overwhelming. Chen was basically the soul of patience throughout our decision-making process; he was impeccably polite thorough in his responses to my (many!) questions, and always went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure that I had the information I needed to make my decision. I unreservedly and enthusiastically recommend Manchen Construction to anyone considering a remodel in the Greater Los Angeles area! read more

A truly seamless and pleasant experience. My initial consultation with Tomer felt like I was not only talking to a partner in our vision, but an old friend. Our laundry room remodel was done on-time, on budget and everyone from Manchen was extremely communicative every step of the way. Zero surprises is a hard thing to achieve in any home remodel job with so many details involved, but Manchen delivered. read more

This was my first home renovation project and I was a little nervous at first. I've heard so many horror stories about projects going way over budget and deadlines. Chen put me at ease immediately and worked realistically with my budget (he is extremely fair with pricing) and timeline (they finished ahead of schedule!) He was extremely patient with me and responded to all my texts and emails almost immediately. Manchen Construction went above and beyond making sure everything was completed in a professional manner (especially during COVID-19). I would not hesitate to use Manchen again in the future! read more

Owner Chen Turgeman managed 3 projects at my home. The first initial project was a replacement fence. The new fence was quickly constructed with better quality than expected. Recommendations were provided to enhance the look of the fence and the construction was completed in less than six hours. The next major project was a full kitchen renovation. The result of the remodel was again more than I expected. The re-construction resulted in an error being made on the removal of a support beam. The company took full responsibility for the error and replaced a support beam to satisfy the required inspection. The result provided me with a fully open concept kitchen and dining room. The third project was a recommendation from the company to upgrade and replace an accent brick wall in my living room. The new stack stone wall provides a more beautiful cohesive look to my home. All work was performed according to the contract price. The timeline was longer than initially estimated. However the changes required for the open concept and additional work needed for mold removal warranted a longer time line. Overall, I am very satisfied with the final results. My home feels clean and updated and a joy to share with my friends and family. read more

Prompt return call and scheduled a meeting on my time, not his. This was very helpful. I must admit that a first I was a bit skeptical because the quote was less than the previous 2 vendors. But the guy that showed up was super nice and explained the entire process. I think his name was Ken or something like that. When my bathroom remodel started he was present and was responsible every step of the way. My wife and I are very pleased and are planning on booking him for our other bathroom and kitchen!!

This guy are the best . I did my bathroom remodel with them and I am very happy with the results.

We are very happy with all the work that Manchen Construction did remodeling our 1950s home! It was a big project, including kitchen renovation, (including removing part of wall), remodeling two bathrooms, new hardwood floors, new paint, tankless hot water heater, plus fixing systems behind the walls. Denny, Chen, Rafa, Faith and the rest of the team were all very professional and a pleasure to work with. High quality of work plus great collaborations. They listened to us and also suggested ideas that made our home better. There is a lot of peace of mind knowing that things were done right. I have recommended them to friends who need work done on their homes already. read more

There are no words to describe how pleased I am with the result of my new beautiful bathroom! As this was my first remodel, I was nervous and skeptical. However, the tile, flooring, glass mirror and shower door, lighting, painting exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail was reflected in each installation! The workers were also prompt, and respectful of my property, careful in carrying items up and downstairs, covering rugs and floors, and leaving each day by removing any debris. All the workers were kind, friendly, and helpful, often going the extra mile to make things easier for me. Not a day goes by that I don't marvel at how wonderful it all looks. Thank you for making my dream bathroom a reality! read more

Great workmanship and very easy to work with! Very dependable and always on time! Will definitely use again!

Chen and the team were fantastic! They did an interior remodel of all rooms (except the kitchen and bathrooms) and some work on the exterior and it all came out better than I could have imagined. Chen was extremely professional from the quote through to the end, managed the subcontractors/permits, kept things very clean, great communication, always on time, and finished the entire project on time. They had a fine attention to detail and recommended design modifications that I wouldn't have ever thought of that really made a difference. They went above and beyond and I'm so happy with the result. Chen will be the first person I call for any future work and I highly recommend him and the team! read more

Amazing! All I can say is true excellence, honesty and professionalism. I hired Manchen Construction to complete my laundry room that was damaged from a water leak. I was so pleased with their work, that I used them again for my master bathroom. I had travertine tile work, cabinetry, stone and sinks installed in both areas. The work is beautiful!! David is on top of everything. The work was completed fast and I was to very happy! David has excellent design talent. The stone and cabinetry chosen is gorgeous. I highly recommend Manchen Construction! And, more importantly, working with David was the best experience any client could have. "Thank you" to Manchen Construction.
