From the very beginning, Chris was professional and made the whole process stress-free. Chris cares about his work, craftsmanship is top-notch, and every detail came out exactly how we envisioned.

I've worked with Gary on four completed projects and am currently working with him on a fifth,…read morewhich probably says more than anything else I could write. Three of those projects were on a 1920s Spanish triplex, where we modernized all the units while preserving its original character, including converting a three-car garage into an ADU. We also fully renovated a mid-century ranch duplex and are currently converting its garage into another ADU. Gary's extremely easy to work with, communicative, reliable, and cares about the quality of his work. He'll give you his professional opinion when needed, but he listens to what you want and never tries to push his preferences over yours. His subs are solid, his pricing is reasonable, and he's always been accommodating when little extras come up outside the original scope. After five projects together, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Finding a contractor you trust and actually enjoy working with isn't easy, and that's why I keep hiring him.

This is the second house we've had renovated by Gary. This house was outdated and unattractive but…read morewe knew it could be special. We are always happy with Gary's work. 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. We will definitely be calling Gary for the next house we buy. We can't recommend him enough.

The adage "You get what you pay for" rings true with MF Construction. When we were in the market…read morefor a general contractor to build our two-bedroom/two-bath ADU in San Marino, we interviewed several general contractors. Mike Maman of MF Construction was one of them. Mike showed us several of his projects as well as his own custom home. We were extremely impressed with the end results. After reviewing several competitive bids, we selected Mike because of his 40+ years of experience in building high-quality homes. During the construction of our ADU, Mike was just a text or phone call away. He kept us informed of upcoming events and visited our job site almost daily, sometimes more than once a day. He was present at all 12 of the City inspections. Every step along the way, we noted the high quality of materials Mike uses from the Ganahl lumber to the thick insulation and roofing paper to the copper pipes and shower hot mop, and mold-resistant drywall. Mike uses materials which meets or exceeds code requirements. Everyone on Mike's team is extremely skilled in his/her craft, many having worked with him for decades. Mike is old school and does not take any shortcuts. Along with high quality construction and materials, Mike is extremely efficient. Our ADU was completed in four months, as promised. Progress was made every day. From the rough work to the finishes, Mike scheduled his team members just in time which resulted in an extremely efficient and smooth workflow. Mike builds with his heart. His passion is infectious which inspires his team members to do their best work. The results are evident in the finished product. Our neighbors and friends are extremely impressed with the quality and build of our ADU. If you value a well-built home and appreciate attention to detail, you will not be disappointed with Mike Maman. You WILL get what you pay for with MF Construction.

Efi went above and beyond what we expected -- arriving fully prepared, having clearly done his homework on our property, our vision, and what would work best for our specific space. What impressed us most was the level of thought and creativity he brought to the planning process - stopping by with samples that were just what we were looking for . He offered innovative ideas and design suggestions while most importantly staying true to our budget. Throughout the entire process,he kept in constant communication . Phone calls were returned promptly, questions were answered thoroughly!! It's rare to find a contractor who combines real expertise with such a warm, passionate approach. If you're considering a pool project and want someone who will treat your home like their own and deliver results you'll love for years to come -- you should definitely call Efi. We recommend him and his company without hesitation

Beautiful job! Efi was not on my appt that day when I was getting quotes but I squeezed him in and…read moreout of everybody, I chose him. He is very charismatic, gave me a great price, and I know he tries his best to please his customers. I felt like my budget was reasonable and I had a couple of guys who made me feel like I was being ridiculous but Efi gave me a chance. Because of that, I had room to buy more expensive tiles. I didn't have a problem with any of his workers. They were great and did a good job, too. One of the shower niches was a little off level in my opinion, but other than that, they did beautiful work as you can see.

I've never left a contractor review before -- but Nick and the Eye 4 Design team truly earned it…read more Nick stepped in at a time when my restaurant project Booku PoBoys had been delayed for nearly two years due to another contractor. I was overwhelmed and exhausted, and he immediately understood the situation without me having to over-explain. From day one, he came in with a clear plan, communicated it in a way I could actually understand, and got straight to work. What impressed me the most was the communication and consistency. If he said his team would be there, they were there -- on time, every time. I never had to chase, beg, or follow up. He was transparent, direct, and incredibly respectful in every interaction. His entire team reflects his leadership -- calm, organized, fast, precise, and professional. They treated my space like it was their own. They didn't just execute; they also offered creative solutions along the way to make the space even better. My only regret is not hiring Nick and Eye 4 Design from the very beginning. If you're on the fence about hiring them, here's what I'll say: every contractor makes mistakes -- but Eye 4 makes very few, and when something comes up, they handle it quickly and the right way. They don't make excuses -- they make progress. Without hesitation, I would recommend Eye 4 Design to anyone looking for a team that is fast, honest, reliable, and deeply committed to finishing the job -- the right way.

I hired Nick Reynolds in 2007 to do a variety of improvements in my 1950 house, which was mostly in…read moreits original condition. This involved installing a brand-new kitchen and refreshing the two bathrooms, but much of the work involved restoring older elements like oak floors, moldings, and a colorful tile shower stall, in a way that respected both the house's history and my limited budget. Now that the place requires some maintenance unrelated to the 2007 remodel, I've engaged Nick and his team again because he is not only highly skilled and experienced, but also thoughtful and strategic in his approach to the work, and most importantly, trustworthy. This means I trust his judgment about deciding what to do, his reliability in following through with a plan, and his fairness in charging for his time and efforts. As other Eye 4 Design clients have said, I can't recommend him highly enough.

"We couldn't be happier with Open Hand Remodeling. It was…read morenot an easy task to find the right contractor for our new home on the hills of Eagle Rock. The house was perfect but definitely needed some TLC. Open Hand Remodeling did a great job building our large hardwood deck on the hill. They used Brazilian Hardwood, which is absolutely stunning, their engineers make sure it would be properly built. Couldn't be more pleased. Open Hand also remodeled the interior bathrooms, kitchen and main house hardwood and Porcelain flooring. The craftsmanship and professionalism is 2nd to none. The process was not perfect 100% of the time, but the hiccups were communicated responsibly by the project manager. Overall the project was completed ahead of schedule. We are planning our second floor project next year, and it's inevitable that we are going to use Open Hand again in the future. Thanks so much!!!"

Couple of years ago we purchased a fairly large house on the hill with five bathrooms, reason we…read moregot a good deal on the house was because it needed some TLC. I can't express how good it feels to finally have five remodeled bathrooms, all of which were remodeled by this Small boutique Company name Open Hand, which I grew to love during the process of the renovations. Some of the work needed plans and structural support for the reconfiguration of the previous bathroom layout, we were impressed with the systematic daily routine, and with the rotation of handling five bathrooms on one house, without interfering with our lifestyle in the way that was not communicated upfront. Can't wait to use Open Hand for my kitchen remodel next year. Grateful

We've interviewed a few home builders, checked out their work and reputation, and eventually decided to go with Gil, Oren, and the whole team of Go Home Builders. 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. All I can say is that they exceeded my expectations. Overall the beginning of the process was extremely emotional challenging, but the whole team of Go Home Builders made us feel like we're not alone. My wife and I are very grateful for them. I'd highly recommend.

Go Home Builders did a wonderful job with our primary bathroom remodel. We interviewed multiple…read morecompanies and went with GHB since they seemed the most design-forward and client-friendly of the bunch, and gave us a reasonable quote too. 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!
