We hired New Dawn Construction to renovate two rental apartments in a building that's over a century old -- two kitchens, one bathroom, and a rotating cast of surprises that come standard with any pre-war LA structure. 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. read more

New Dawn just completed a bathroom project for us plus replaced the floors in two of our bedrooms and the work is top tier quality. The team was quick, efficient, and always responsive. Design lead Kim was friendly, helpful, and his suggestions were always on point. The day to day Project Manager Jorge was amazing, truly a standout in his field. I honestly can't overstate how refreshing and helpful it was to work with Kim and Jorge. The work was completed faster than I expected without being rushed, and it honestly blew me away how the crew managed it all like clockwork. All construction projects are journey, and this one definitely came to a happy ending. read more

New Dawn did a great job for me! I wanted to get a bathroom remodeled, had a vision for what I wanted and they made the whole process easy. Moses was great to work with, and I'm more than happy with the final result. Would definitely recommend and work with them again. read more

From my experience, finding good services is hard. Quality work, fair prices, timely operations, caring customer service. It's seldom to find all these things in one company these days. This company is also trustworthy. I had an exceptional request - having a small Reno done while not being there. NDC came through. I was highly anxious and stressed but Jakov was so kind. Professional, and held my hand the entire way. At no point did I feel deserted or unsure about anything. They provided a job well done. read more

*Review is for estimate only* Setting up an appointment with Zane at New Dawn Construction was incredibly easy and the project manager, Ken, was very punctual and professional and took accurate notes of what we wanted for our bathroom remodels. The estimate was received in a few days and was very accurate and very fair. We had a great experience with New Dawn Construction (Ken & Zane), and while we did not ultimately go with them, they were at a very close 2nd place for us. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to them again when another remodeling opportunity arrives. I highly recommend reaching out to them, one of the few companies so far that I've had a very positive experience with while starting our remodels. read more

I ended up moving forward with a bathroom remodel plan with New Dawn Construction. Our project manager Ken was a pleasure to work with and made the entire process easy and efficient. Ken explained every step, including cost, timeline, steps we had to take to ensure we had everything we wanted and steps his team would take to make our bathroom remodel successful. Overall, me and my parents are very happy with our new bathroom and we can't thank Ken and his team enough. Ken, thank you so much for your support, kindness, and engagement throughout this project. It made a huge impression on me and I will definitely continue to refer my friends and family to your business. read more

I found New Dawn (with other companies) on Yelp back in 2024. They were very responsive and reasonably priced. At the time, we were doing a mold remediation and needed them to help us with the restoration. Unfortunately, as they were working, they found more mold, so we had them stop while we performed a full remediation of our house (they could have done the work, but because I also had a family member who had a severe reaction to the mold, we went with some specialists because of the sensitivity of the situation). "Slow forward" 1.5 years later, Sagi at New Dawn had been so patient (and checked in periodically to see how things were going) that I decided to continue working with them for the restoration. They also have access to good designers (one of which helped me with a wet bar area and one that helped with a kitchen design when I had to do an unplanned renovation of the kitchen due to the mold remediation) and subcontractors for electrical and plumbing. I am about half way through the restoration (just got the drywall installed), but I felt compelled to write up a part 1 review. Sagi, Kim and Jorge have been wonderful to work with. They are communicative, professional and listen to my ideas. I have a feeling that we are clients that are a bit "out of the ordinary" with our special requests and uniquely slow situation (basically whole house restoration with a lot of gotchas due to the way we want things to be put back), but they have been good to work with. If they make a mistake, they fix it. I will update this review once things are closer to being done, but I just wanted to write something up for now. read more

I remodeled my kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms and painted the entire inside of my house. I also removed the carpet and replaced it with LVP. The process was grueling but the results were beautiful. River and Jacob were a great help in guiding me through the whole process. I am grateful and so happy I went with New Dawn Construction! read more

New Dawn did amazing job renovating our mid century. They updated our existing bathroom, converted our laundry room to a second bedroom, moved laundry to hallway, enclosed an area of the house to be a third bedroom adding French doors and a closet, as well as re-tiling our kitchen countertops. They communicated promptly and clearly with us throughout the renovations and the price was reasonable. Highly recommend them! read more

New Dawn Construction provided a competitive quote for my bathroom remodel. Ken and Jacob listened to my concerns and wants, and also provided good solutions. They did a great job with communication and made it comfortable for me to work with them. I was ready to start construction with them but due to a personal medical issue I had to postpone my bathroom remodel. I would work with them again once I am ready to remodel. read more

This was the first company to reach out following a quote request on Yelp. Friendly and professional from the start. The quote came in a bit higher than I wanted to spend but it was worth the price for the professionalism and trust that was apparent in Ken, the project manager. Unlike on some previous home projects, New Dawn showed up when they said they would, with good communication flowing throughout the process. Issues were resolved promptly and the project was completed in the time-frame discussed. Also want to give a shout-out to Israel who was on the job most days. Grateful for his hard work along with Chowder's watchful supervision. Would definitely recommend New Dawn for home construction projects. read more

New Dawn Construction - General Contractors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I hired New Dawn Construction & Consulting Inc. for a project related to building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) at my property. My experience led me to formally cancel the contract, and I want to share the reasons. The contract was titled a "Home Improvement Contract," but the actual "City Research Agreement" explicitly excluded all home improvement activities, including design, plans, and permits. The scope was limited solely to "preliminary research" on zoning codes. I found this discrepancy between the contract's name and its limited scope to be very misleading. Furthermore, the $13,500 fee for a summary of publicly available zoning information from the City of Lancaster is excessive and unconscionable for the service provided. Ultimately, the services offered failed to provide any actionable plans or legal authorization to begin construction, which is a basic requirement for a project of this nature. I found the service to be a failure in providing value. I am currently seeking a full refund for any fees paid due to the cancellation of this agreement. In addition, we will be filing formal charges regarding this business practice with the FBI Business Affairs and the Los Angeles District Attorney's office. I would caution others to read their contracts very carefully and question the value of the services being offered. read more

After speaking to a few companies about a shower remodel, I went with New Dawn Construction and I couldn't be happier. Ken was an amazing project manager to work with and was very attentive throughout the process. He answered all of our questions, was very transparent about next steps, and made sure we felt comfortable with the work going on in our living space. I will definitely be contacting them for any future remodeling work, highly recommend! read more

New Dawn Construction - Our new and improved shower. The previous shower looked so much worse compared to New Dawn's work! - General Contractors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My husband and I have been talking about remodeling our kitchen for years but were afraid of the aggravation and chaos it was sure to bring. We finally steeled ourselves and chose Sagi and New Dawn for the job. (In part because of Yelp reviews, so I'm paying it forward!). It wasn't aggravating. It wasn't chaotic. Sagi and River (our project manager; I can't rave enough about him) oversaw a complete demo and rebuild. Of course there were occasional surprises which were solved collaboratively and creatively. The kitchen is stunning but with enough fun elements to suit our taste. From the first design rendering by Sagi's colleague Nofar, we were all in. The different crews came and went, always taking pains to keep the mess to a minimum. And let me tell you about these men - they were friendly, they were accommodating, they were incredibly skilled and took pride in their work. And they were kind. Who looks for kindness in crews? It turns out Sagi does. There is an ethos he has built into his business as well as honor and integrity. Thank you Sagi, River, Nofar, Lital, Juan, Esvin, Wilber, Brian read more

Just completed our home renovation with New Dawn. Jacob brought top talent to the project: Roman, Juan, and Dimitri. They are all artists and the quality was so good we kept adding more tasks beyond the original contract. What started as bathroom and kitchen floors, counters, and fixtures grew to dry wall, stair, railing, and door repairs. Then continued to grow to include painting and a new entry door. Obviously, this resulted in an extended schedule, but all was completed in about 14 weeks. Not bad for top quality and fair pricing! We are very happy and recommend New Dawn for home renovations. read more

We recently hired the New Dawn team to renovate three bathrooms, and we couldn't be happier with the results. A big shout out to Jacob for not only managing the project timeline, but also providing a lot of the design input before even starting the project. Jacob's design knowledge and thoughtful recommendations made a big difference. Many of his ideas ended up being our final picks. The crew was professional, skilled, and reliable, handling every challenge that came up during the renovation with competence and care. I appreciated that the team kept the working areas clean every day and took the time to make sure that I was happy with the progress. We would highly recommend Jacob and his team to anyone planning a remodel. read more

We did a full remodel for two bathrooms, plus new lighting throughout and some updates to the kitchen. Sage, our project manager River, and the many New Dawn crew members who worked on our project were all patient, courteous, and professional. What we liked most about New Dawn: Price transparency: Sage was very accurate with his quote. What he said is what we paid, no surprise charges or add-ons. He was honest and upfront about costs, and his quote was competitive with other quotes we received. Communication: Sage and River were very responsive to all of our questions throughout the project. They replied to text messages and calls quickly, so we were never left hanging. We were provided with a project plan and timeline that showed the steps for each phase, so we knew what to expect. We would touch base at the start and end of each day to make sure the project stayed on track. Any concerns that we had were addressed as soon as possible. We felt that we were on the same page throughout the process. Quality/attention to detail: One of the reasons we went with New Dawn was the quality of the work from their portfolio. Their teams take pride in their work and it shows. They bring a high level of attention to detail. River would walk through in the morning and catch any details that needed to be fixed, and the crew would address it that same day. Cleanliness: Remodeling is a messy process, but the New Dawn crew did their best to isolate the areas with tarps, floor coverings, drop cloths, etc. They usually did at least a quick tidy up at the end of each day, and a general clean up at the end of each phase. We appreciated New Dawn providing a cleaning crew to do a full house cleaning at the very end of the project. We highly recommend New Dawn for any remodeling projects and would definitely work with them again. Thank you Sage, River, Emilio, Demetrio, Esvin, Juan, Brian, Israel, the Miguels, and Team Jesus. We love our new bathrooms, and our whole place feels refreshed! read more

I had the pleasure of scheduling an appointment with Zain and he sent his guy Vlad out to give me an estimate on my requested job; repair my 10 year old Pergola. Vlad's experience is so evident.

He's first rate and I highly recommend him and this company for your construction needs. read more

A representative from this company visited our home and provided an on-the-spot $17,000 estimate without taking any measurements, inspecting plumbing, or reviewing scope. This directly contradicted the pricing and approach described by the office over the phone. We declined and felt the visit was unprofessional and inconsistent with standard contracting practices. read more

I interviewed at least a half dozen contractors before deciding to go with New Dawn Construction to remodel my very dated kitchen in a home that was built in 1931. Sage was honest, straight forward and most of all fair with his quote.  Jacob was with me every step of the way and turned my vision of a French Country Kitchen into a beautiful reality. The crews who came to my house were wonderful they respected my home, were extremely professional and very talented. I must give a special shout out to Darwin who did an amazing job on my floors and tile work. Undergoing a kitchen remodel is stressful enough so communication is key, and Jacob was always there to answer questions and bounce ideas off of. I would highly recommend New Dawn Construction for any remodeling project I give them an A+ and can't wait to have them back to do my guest bathroom! read more

Our 100 year old bungalow is REBORN thanks to Sage and the New Dawn crew, which was the same crew from demolition day to finish day. We initially planned to only redo our outdated kitchen, but then we started adding a number of "Might as Wells". First came "might as well" redo the bathrooms too (which Sage totally reconfigured). And then came "might as well" make some boring square doorways into beautiful Archways. And we also took out a tangle of hallway doors.. adding a pocket door and a beautiful Mexican carved sliding barn door to replace them. And then we decided if we are committing to all of that, then we "might as well" install new hardwood and tile floors throughout the house too. As we added more and more elements to the rehab, Sage guided us through it all, and our finished rehab is stunning. We love our brand new 100 year old REBORN bungalow! read more

I am the owner/landlord of a duplex in Burbank. When one of my units started showing unmistakable signs of mold damage in the bathroom wall I knew I needed professional help. I had a couple of plumbers and mold remediation companies come out but it became clear that they were not prepared to take this project from start to finish. I needed someone to manage all the moving parts, including locating and repairing whatever was leaking, professionally remediating the mold issue, and reconstructing the bathroom after the repairs were done. I came across Sage at New Dawn Construction on Yelp. After taking the time to thoroughly assess the situation and discuss my concerns, he came up with a plan, including great suggestions regarding my tenants' concerns, insurance insights, and suggestions on rebuilding the bathroom. Sage and his crew were professional, thorough and very communicative. My tenants mentioned (without my asking) how polite and clean the workers were. To top it off, I was initially told the entire job could take up to three weeks, but it was completed in just two weeks. I am very pleased with my experience with New Dawn Construction. I highly recommend giving Sage a call for any construction, building or remodeling projects you may have. You will be in good hands. read more

You're getting more than you could ever ask for when choosing New Dawn Construction! Sage will work within your budget and help guide you along the way. Whether it's design advice, guidance or reassurance, you're never left feeling overwhelmed. There were many days our baby was home during construction and every time, a crew member would check to make sure the noise level was okay. The New Dawn team became an extended family, we felt safe and at ease, and never felt as if someone was in our way. Juan took extra care to make sure everything was perfect. Construction is construction, there are delays, things go wrong, it's the nature of the beast. Sage himself will go great lengths to make sure you're happy. He is passionate about design, bringing joy to your home, and creating a space you'll love. You can't go wrong! read more

I can't say enough good things about Jacob and New Dawn Remolding. We had a very dated small 4'x4' octagonal window that needed to be replaced, and Jacob came in with great ideas and a plan for execution.

We felt extremely well taken care of and couldn't be happier with the outcome. The window is gorgeous and exactly what we had hoped for.

My family had a rush renovation job we needed on a kitchen and bathroom for a 2BD / 2BA rental unit. We didn't have a contractor and I found New Dawn via the Next Door app. While it is always nerve wracking to select a new contractor sight unseen, their gallery project photos were impressive, and they had strong reviews via Thumbtack, so we took the chance. The team that Sage employs are amazing, hard working, and fast. They had the bathroom demo'd in a single day and were very clean about hauling away the trash. The workers showed up on time each day and were an absolute pleasure to work with. Sage is very conscientious about the work his team does and when one small decorative tile was installed slightly off, he had someone come back and fix it. Details are very important to us, so we were quite impressed with this keen eye for ensuring the job was completed well, in addition to doing it quickly. They did not cut corners and took great pride in their work. I am attaching before/after photos of the bathroom so you can see the amazing result. We are happy with the final outcome of the work and so are our new tenants! read more

I hired New Dawn for landscape design. The final design was beautiful and I'm excited to get bids. Some of the areas that can be approved are: -Timeliness: it took quite a few follow up emails, clarification, and zoom requests to finalize the design. -Communication: it goes along with timeliness. -Accuracy: we went back and forth on some contracts and proposals due to corrections that I noticed- and I don't work in this field. I would recommend them to anyone looking for guidance on landscape design, has patience, and is not in a rush. read more

With a baby on the way in a few short months, we reached out to Sage and his team for help splitting a large room into a nursery and an office/bedroom and adding a hallway. The folks at New Dawn were very responsive and proactive, coming out to visit the site multiple times to discuss various configurations before signing a contract and starting the job. They did not rush me into making a decision or pressure me into starting the job before I was ready. Once we agreed on the scope of the job, the turnaround time to start and finish the work was very quick taking around 1 week to complete framing, drywall, door installation, electrical, and painting. The crew that performed the work were very friendly and respectful, being sure to clean the job site at the end of each day and communicate their plan throughout the job so I did not experience any surprises. There were a few additional scope items that came up such as additional finishing and electrical work that added a bit of cost to the job but these were explained thoroughly and relatively reasonable in price. I would recommend New Dawn Construction to anyone looking for a home remodel job at a reasonable price. Very satisfied with the the job! read more

I had a great experience hiring New Dawn for a deck renovation project at my house. The overall project was long and complicated and involved 3 other teams working together. River was the manager for our project and did an excellent job keeping everything on track and communicating with me about details throughout the project. By the end of the project I wished that I had hired New Dawn to handle the entire project instead of the other companies. The level of professionalism from River and the workers at our house was head and shoulders above the other contractors we hired. I've already recommended them to our neighbors who are beginning their own renovation project and they will be the first company I call in the future if we do more work on our house. read more

I tapped New Dawn for a kitchen remodel. Totally gutted and replaced everything. I hear a lot of contractors horror stories so for anyone considering New Dawn here are my pros and cons. Pros: It turned out beautiful and I couldn't be happier to have it done! I wanted something very specific in the flooring and multiple contractors I contacted wouldn't even attempt it. Super responsive. Sage is great about answering messages and hoping on problems quickly. I realized I had a gas leak on a holiday weekend and Sage drove over himself and fixed it. There were a few issues when the cabinets and they are addressed as soon as I pointed them out.  Great vibes. I really liked everyone who came in to work. Everyone was super solid and did great work.  We stuck to the budget. Aside from an unexpected expense that came with finding black mold, the price quoted was the price paid. No surprise charges. Long-term, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out if I have any issues years down the road. Cons: I often didn't know when people would be working. The project took 2x the original estimate. The big delays like having to pause for a full week to address the mold, totally understandable but somehow there were a bunch of smaller delays that added up. I wish the work mess had been more contained. There was a plastic barrier for the early stages but it was removed a few weeks in. Whole area was coverd in dust and unusable until cleaners came at the end of the project. A lot of my problems are down to my own inexperience with a larger project like this. But even so I had a more positive experience here than I've ever had with much smaller jobs. read more
