Terrible work. Cold text from Anna. Don't waste my time, or anyone else's! I'm surprised their reviews are so good! This is my new mission to bring it down across Google and other review platforms. read more

Ilan and his crew made remodeling our garage to an ADU a stressless experience. They were fast, efficient, professional and did a great job with the build. Ilan was also very responsive to calls and texts from us. I would highly recommend them for your rebuild project. read more

Thank you Ilan for such remarkable work. The team was magnificent, consistent, and finished ahead of schedule... the remodel of two rooms into bathroom & walk in closet along with patio door is FABULOUS!!! My husband and I are pleased... If you want remodeling done Remodeling California is the way to go... read more

Ilan did a full kitchen and bath remodel at my mother's house. The job turned out to be absolutely beautiful and my very picky mother is extremely pleased. He was excellent about keeping the project moving and keeping the price as he estimated, and telling us the time it would take, all things that most contractors are terrible at! We appreciated that he was able to communicate often when there were issues. I would recommend him. read more

Ilan has compiled a highly skilled team that can address all of your remodeling or new construction. We were so pleased with his work on a complete bathroom remodel we called him back several months later (second complete bathroom, upgraded kitchen, upgraded master with custom closet, stucco paint inside and out, fascia board replaced and gutters, tankless water heater, replace windows and doors, new lighting and ceiling fans). They even hauled all the debris. There were challenges that arose on our older home but Ilan wasn't satisfied until we were. The work was completed on time and the worksite was kept as tidy as possible. If you want it done right, call Ilan. read more

We schedule meeting at 9:30 with Illai on job site, He did not show up & he did not have courtesy to call. It cost us to drive 30 Min and wait for half of hours. No respect for client time. read more

I used Ilan and his crew for a new bedroom, bathroom, and mudroom addition to the back of our house. Our project had a unique challenge that arose once we learned that our house was deemed a historical property by the city of LA. He was flexible in scheduling as we waited on the city to approve our plans. Everything moved very quickly as his team built the addition with our only delay being some minor plumbing issues from a sliding door limiting the wall space for piping. The entire building crew and subcontractors Ilan used were professional and polite and worked with us as we had some unique challenges on our street that doesn't have any street parking for their trucks. Overall, I would use Remodeling California again and recommend them to anyone looking for a general contractor. I dont think they are the cheapest, but they are honest with their pricing up front before you start and will not nickel and dime through change orders, something a lot of GC's can do. We are very happy with the finished product! read more

We hired Ilan for a kitchen and bathroom remodel. Along the way, we added additional changes, and Ilan and his crew made them happen. We are very pleased with the end result. All of the workers were respectful, wore masks, and did amazing work. They were always responsive to our requests. read more

Highly recommended! I interviewed several contractors for my kitchen and bathroom remodel before choosing Remodeling California. Their price was competitive and I especially liked that Ilan was a good listener - he heard my priorities and offered suggestions that would maximize my space and be aesthetically pleasing. Ilan worked with me throughout the planning and execution of the remodel. He checked in regularly, providing updates and making sure we were on schedule to get the job started and done on time. He made great suggestions for places to purchase my appliances, tile and vanities. My 100-year old house had some surprises in store for us (needed new roof and new plumbing after we opened everything up), but he still completed the job on time. I'll definitely call Ilan for any future project. read more

We recently had our kitchen remodeled by Remodeling California, and are very pleased with the results. Ilan and his team did a great job with the planning and trouble shooting along the way. Ilan's workers were very professional, and meticulous with their work. As issues arose they were able to find workable solutions, and delivered a new, modern, beautiful kitchen on a reasonable budget. Thank you, Remodeling California...we love our new kitchen! read more

Remodeling California - General Contractors Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We remodeled two bathrooms, enlarged our master bedroom and created a big walk-in closet. The entire experience with Remodeling California had been nothing but the best! Our estimated time frame to complete everything was May 31st. Today is 4/27 and we will be completely done by Tuesday of next week which is waaaaayyyyy ahead of schedule. Ilans crew is amazing! We had such a small area to work in that most of the time we had just one guy here (Jose) and he worked quickly, efficiently, cleaned up every day after himself and was extremely polite and professional. VERY SATISFIED with how it all turned out. Exactly as I imagined. We have a small house but it feels like a million dollars. :) I should also mention there were no hidden costs like you find with many contractors we stayed right on budget and the quote that was given to us. Ilan has been very communicative and checks in with me and on the job site several times each week to ensure I am happy and getting what I wanted. If I could give 10 stars I definitely would. I HIGHLY recommend Ilan and his crew for any home project. We will be using them again for our kitchen once we are ready. read more

Picking Remodeling California was the best decision I ever made! Ilon, the owner, came by and gave me an estimate for completely building me a new bathroom, started working exactly when they said they would, and charged me exactly what the quote was, not one penny more and got done on time! Ilon is extremely responsive, kind and understanding. All his workers are respectful and very nice. Ilon guided me through the entire process which made it comfortable and easy. I would recommend Remodeling California to everyone. And for any job, the biggest or small. They were amazing. read more

Apologies in advance for the length of this post but every once in a while you get an interaction with a service provider on this website that warrants as many kind words as possible in praise of the work. I reached out to Ilan to bid on a garage remodel + driveway remodel along with a series of other contractors about a year ago. From the start, I felt there was something that really set him apart from the others. He wasn't the cheapest nor the most expensive, but he presented himself in a manner that I knew I could trust him (as well as many of his reviews said the same). My experience was nothing short of phenomenal. The key areas I looked at in assessing this experience, and what I believe others in my position would look to: 1. Communication - Ilan is fantastic. I could share the 100's of pages of texts we exchanged over the past year. I could show the call logs of calls conducted with me, my wife or even our interior designer. Always prompt, always responsive. Always honest and clear. Always easy to get a hold of, and easier to make sure he followed up on our conversations as soon as he could with updates and progress. Frankly, I became somewhat concerned his family thought of how often we talked and the times of day he'd take a call or text!! 2. Pricing - While I stated above, he wasn't the cheapest nor most expensive, I ranked this right behind communication because of what we received for what we paid. I've learned in experience that cheaper contractors do so to get in and then find ways to say you didn't agree to something and change order you to death, thus total cost puts them higher than others and stress much much higher. With Ilan, over the course of 6 months and well over $100k in work, we had ONE change order for $800. That is UNREAL. Given the quantity of work we agreed to and how much ambiguity in the high level 'plans' we agreed to, I expected at least a few conversations around things like the ridiculous tile request we had for the bathroom in the garage or the way we wanted the cement we agreed to in the driveway laid and he instead just said he'd honor his commitment. It was INCREDIBLE. Obviously we did have some larger scope discussions when we realized how good Ilan and his team were and asked for a series of bigger projects/items but at no point did we ever think we were getting nickeled and dimed. 3. Timeline/Adaptability - Our original scope and timeline was 2-4 months for the garage remodel and side house remodel. It ended up being 6 months. All our fault. As we made progress we found more items we wanted Ilan to tackle and he did so with ease. On top of that, he had to work with our family over those 6 months, which included: 2 adults, 2 kids under four, 3 dogs, a new baby being born midway through, 3 separate hospital stays for children's illnesses (all good now!!) my switching jobs and my wife going on and ending her maternity leave. On top of all of that, Ilan was able to match our 'pace' needs as we changed them on him. We freaked out and asked him to speed up as my wife was due to give birth and we needed the garage done for her parents to stay with us - he had guys working 7 days a week. We needed a break as we figured out what else we wanted done and the details needed - he gave us our space and told us to contact him when ready. We had an interior designer that was sometimes not great on plans/details, he coached her. Again, exceptional. 4. Quality of people - All of the folks Ilan used were genuinely nice people, easy to talk to and knew when to ask us for some details that needed clarification so we didn't need to get Ilan out to the jobsite at all times. Obviously, the communication is critical when you don't have to run every single detail through the main person leading the effort. Ilan trusts his people and they in turn, know when and how to discuss designs with us. 5. Quality of the product - see the attached pictures for yourself. We are THRILLED with the end result. Thank you Ilan!!!!!!!! Bill read more

Not professional and I did not give him the job. I was looking for a contractor to repair damage done to my rental unit by a car accident. Remodeling California has (currently) four and a half stars, (maybe five before that "great" review he got on 1-4-16 from Santa Clarita). Anyway, I called him to feel him out and have him look at the damage. He said, "I'm on top of a hill and my connection is bad, I'll call you back". Needless to say, I've yet to get that "callback". Today is 1-11-16. That call was on 12-28-15. Thanks for nothing! Or rather thanks that you didn't call back so that I found a professional contractor. Update from the reply from IIan S. on 1-12-16. He states (as seen in his comment) that he told me that he does not do rentals or insurance claims. Well, that's funny, because I never even got to that information with him, (i.e. he's lying). Also, why would you say you would call me back if you don't do the work I needed? Wow, not even a good liar! Thank God for Yelp! read more

I am so pleased that I selected Ilan and his crew to remodel my 1930s bathroom and kitchen. Ilan exceeded my expectations in all areas including but not limited to the initial consultation, contract signing and most importantly, getting the job done efficiently and effectively. Ilan held my hand during the entire process and I am very satisfied. My neighbors are inquiring on his availability. His crews was always here, working and detailed orientated. Professional from start to finish. I highly recommend. read more

We decided to convert our garage into an ADU. After several estimates, Ilan met with us and was very thorough in his explanation of the process. We were impressed with the time he took to be sure we understood that this was like a construction project and was quite involved. He wasn't the cheapest but in the end the unit looks very nice. He was frequently on site checking on the progress and responded within a reasonable time to any questions or concerns we had. Whenever there were "surprises" where there were extra expenses, he explained them to us. Even when he went on vacation, he was sure to let us know the dates and when he'd return. We appreciated most him being up front and available which was so important as we had other major personal things to attend to. He was sensitive to our needs and schedule. We highly recommend Remodeling California for your remodeling needs. read more

Ilan and his crew from Remodeling California were fantastic...no, better than that...they exceeded our expectations above & beyond! Ilan has the knowledge and expertise when it comes to remodeling. He worked with us in what we wanted, gave great advice, suggested cost-cutting ideas and provide high quality workmanship in everything he and his crew did. Ilan was very patient with us and with our time deadlines. He and his crew arrived every day (Monday - Saturday) and were early/on time and left in the late hours of the evening. Everything that Remodeling California worked on was done with high quality standards, precise attention to detail and a lot of care to protect surrounding household items. At the end, all of our home projects passed inspection the first time...from the bathroom remodel to the total electrical update to code and to the new water & sewer pipes. Our 1949 dated/small bathroom and powder room are now show cases! The best thing about Remodeling California was Ilan and his crew were in constant communication with us. We were updated on their progress and informed on any suggested changes necessary via text messages & photos. Other remodeling companies that we have used in the past were not half as good as Remodeling California. We would not think twice about contacting Remodeling California for future remodeling projects (converting the garage into living space)! read more

We were very impressed with the work Ilan and his crew did on our entryway. The overhang was rotted and was a real challenge to redo. In fact another company inspected the job and determined it was too complicated for them. So we took a chance on Ilan. His crew replicated the overhang exactly and it looks beautiful. They actually did more than required and everything looks perfect. Based on this, we had him redo 2 sets of French doors on our patio and, again, were happy with the result. Our next project with him will be our new roof. I look forward to working with him in the future. read more

I'm so excited about our beautiful new guest room!! I honestly could never have imagined it would have turned out the way it did. You step in and it's like you're on vacation in a spa/hotel!! This was the first real work we have done on our home and of course I was prepared to be stressed and frustrated for 2 months but instead we were so lucky, so pleasantly surprised to be able to work with such honest and good people. The entire team was, punctual, respectful, professional and AHEAD of schedule!! It's unheard of in the contractor world! What happened here was like a dream, they gave us a quote, stuck to it, showed up and did a perfect job on time. Need I say more? I'm thrilled to embark on our next project with Remodeling Cali!! read more

Remodeling California INC is on a level of its own. I have heard many horror stories from people who have had done work with other contractors. That is why when we were looking to do work on our home I was very nervous. Let me tell you that with Remodeling California INC there is Nothing to be nervous about! 1. Honesty: This is a family owned and run business by a super friendly and lovely couple Ilan and Talya who are two extremely honest people. From day 1 they always delivered on their promises. The quote was the quote. No changes. No backing out. No reading between the lines. Basically no BS. 2. Reliability: I have heard horrible stories about other contractors not being on time, leaving early or taking long breaks. Not with Remodeling California INC. They were always here when they said they would be. Stayed as long as they said they would stay. Ilan was on site every day. His Forman was amazing. 3. Respectful: The workers were super nice. Well mannered, always wiped their feet, said please and thank you. They were respectful of our things, our yard, our kids toys etc. I miss them now that they are finished! That's how great they were 4. Talented: Ilan is a great designer. My wife and I were amazed by his ideas. He made the most of our space. He planned things many steps ahead. Things that we did not even realize were possible. His Forman was a superstar. 5. Clean: at the end of every long work day the crew would spend extra time cleaning up. Even when they knew it would be a mess again the next day. They still left the site organized and safe every night. 6 The Work: the end result was amazing. I still can not believe how amazing the place looks!! It's like a dream come true. Fantastic job ! I give Remodeling California INC my highest recommendation without reservation, because they deserve it! When I build more in the future I have no doubt who I will hire. REMODELING CALIFORNIA INC!!! read more

We used Remodeling California many years ago for some projects in our old house & remembered thinking how pristine everything turned out. We connected with Ilan again a month ago & jumped right into a bunch of projects in our new home. The whole time we felt excited & confident that the job would be done well & look great. We were sooo pleased that we quickly began another small project since we knew it would get done correctly, look immaculate, & that we can depend on Ilan. He is very responsive, direct, & has great guys that work for him seven days a week & are excellent craftsmen. We have already referred him to friends who have also contracted Ilan to renovate part of their home. read more

Ilan and his team are amazing. I recommend him to anyone who needs a remodeling job completed. The attention to detail and the craftsmanship he provides is nonparallel. We have used other construction / re-modelers before and I can say these people have been the best. read more

We hired Remodeling California to remodel our master bathroom and a guest bath. The job expanded during the first week to tackle some other repairs we had put off for a long time. The crews worked hard and long hours. The jobs were finished ahead of schedule. Ilan, the owner, kept in touch with me daily and even helped me pick out fixtures. The remodeling and repairs turned out beautifully. Having your home turned upside by construction is never easy but Ilan and his crew made it as pleasant as possible. I highly recommend them. read more

We called Remodeling California after a friend recommended him to us. Ilan was quick to respond, provided a detailed project order and estimate quickly, and was able to start right away. He was always reachable for any issues or questions. His guys are all great, showed up on time and cleaned up at the end of the day. He was able to stay on schedule, despite the changes & additions we made to the project. Home renovation is always stressful, and Remodeling California made it much less painful. We love our new kitchen, dining room and living room. Everything is beautifully done, and the attention to detail really shows. We look forward to starting the upstairs phase with Remodeling California! read more

Ilan and his crew were great! They were always on time, friendly, clean, considerate, and organized. And not even pouring rain can stop them from finishing the job! We didn't have a large job (bathroom facelift, dining room paint, chair rail, recessed lighting), but they were willing to do the work at a very reasonable price. read more

Finding a competent contractor often seems like playing the lottery. But with Remodeling California and Ilan Shapira we finally hit the jackpot. We live in an old house that needs periodic up-dating, and Ilan was there to help us. The firm and its able crew totally renewed two bathrooms, replaced several ceilings and updated our large deck as well. His men, as expected, were at the house every single day, and not only were they polite, professional and efficient, but they left the place clean after each visit. The total results were excellent and beautiful. We are proud of their accomplishments. Personally, Ilan is a man of integrity. He is both honest and honorable. His word is his bond, and you can depend on it. Now we look forward to the next project with Remodeling California--new flooring in several rooms. read more

I desperately wanted to remodel my kitchen but I have had such negative experiences with contractors in the past I was a little reluctant to commit to doing it. Ilan had done work for me before and I was happy with it so I decided to give him a chance with my kitchen. I am so-o-o happy I did. My kitchen is gorgeous now. Ilan is wonderful. He works with you so you get exactly what you want. His crew was wonderful. They were efficient and friendly. They didn't leave my house in a mess. They always cleaned up before they left. I look forward to working with Ilan again in the future. read more

Ilan and his team just completed an extensive, 7 week renovation of our kitchen and bathroom. Our house is older and very quirky, so it took a lot of creativity and vision to create the ideal livable space, and that's exactly what Ilan did. This was not a matter of switching out old things for new things - walls were removed, plumbing was re-routed, electrical was reconfigured, and everything was taken down to the studs and rebuilt. The final product is an incredible transformation that took us from the 1960s to a modern and stylish present. We met with other contractors and selected Ilan for a couple reasons in particular: he is responsive, he cares about details and he is professional and organized. And throughout the project all of these qualities held true. He promptly responded to our texts and phone calls, and frequently contacted us to ask about very minor details that others may not care about, but that meant a lot to us. We also had a lot of custom materials (tiles, fixtures, etc.) that required extra skill and labor to install, and his team was up to the task. Lastly, his entire team was friendly, respectful and clean, which meant a lot during a hectic renovation. Like with any renovation, there were a few surprises that came up, but Ilan handled these like a professional and never made us feel panicked - his primary objective is to make things right, and he did that every time. Lastly, he finished the project ahead of schedule and within our budget, which is unheard of these days! Hire Ilan for your next home renovation, you will not be disappointed. read more

Here we go- I'm not one to review, but given the level of effort, results and overall working relationship. I feel I must. Ilan and his staff are at a level not represented with the ranking system of Yelp. I'm limited by 5 but would give a 15. Here's why: We Interviewed 8 prospective contractors and based on my criteria of; creativity, interaction/professionalism, attention to the details that mattered to me, the back and forth necessary for any project (meaning the creative process of design balanced with cost and common sense), patience with wife/husband views of project, cost to benefit analysis and overall feel (which cannot and should not be underestimated) we selected Ilan and his team. 15 years in our house and we wanted something new and fresh. The final outcome of phase 1 was beyond expectation. Neighbors and friends are flat out blown away by the result. My wife and I are now embarking on a phase 2 project with Ilan and team and can't wait to continue.. Why? Each day he checked in with us, his team is spotless and made working through a disruptive (two kids, two dogs and ....) process as clean and pain free as possible. We are clean freaks and every single end of day was spotless as it relates to the work done and disruption minimized. His team is a group of professionals who understand what it takes to make such an undertaking as pain free as possible. The outcome was spectacular. I'll send pics later and I'm open for any/all reference calls. Again, I never write reviews, but this team is beyond what you will get from any other company. Believe me, I researched for 2 years. Beyond satisfied and entering phase 2... Rick Hoefert read more

Recently Remodeling California Inc did a complete remodel of our bathroom in Chino. It looks beautiful and we highly recommend Ilan Shapiro's Remodeling California Inc and his team of experts with all your remodel needs. read more

We hired Remodeling California to remodel our master bathroom. We had some water damage due to having carpet in there so we needed to remodel the whole bathroom. I was not able to be home everyday the work was being done since I work part time. I came home one day and noticed a hole in my ceiling downstairs. One of Ilan's workers had done something in the bathroom they were remodeling upstairs and it caused him to put a hole in our ceiling. I came home early later in the week to see how everything was going and one of Ilan's workers was standing on my very expensive dining room table while trying to patch up the hole he caused. I was so mad all I could do was call Ilan and ask him why he would allow his workers to stand on a customers furniture. He said he would talk to them. Prior to starting the work I told Ilan that I did not want anything to happen to my Jacuzzi tub that I have in the bathroom. I was not having that changed other then the tile around it. Well after the bathroom was complete I went in to take a bath and none of the jets were working. This is where Ilan gets extremely unprofessional. I texted Ilan to tell him something was wrong with the jets in the tub and it must be from something that was done in the bathroom. He had the nerve to say that something must have been wrong with the jets prior to him starting the job and that he had nothing to do with it. He said he would send over his plumber to take a look at it but we would have to pay for his plumbers time since it was not his fault the jets are not working. His plumber shows us and we showed him pictures of all the debris from demolition day sitting in our tub. His plumber was so shocked and said that they tub should have been covered with plastic before all the debris was put in it. That didn't happen so all the dust and dirt clogged the jets. Thankfully the plumber was able to clean out the jets and get the tub working again. Ilan did not have much to say when he realized his workers did actually cause the problem. Oh he did say one thing, he wanted to make sure we sent our remaining money that was owed home with the plumber. Yeah he isn't very professional. If you are looking for a company to remodel your home you do not want to hire Remodeling California. They are not professional and will ruin your home. Look elsewhere. read more

I hired Remodeling California Inc after a friend of mine recommended Ilan, the owner, as an excellent designer and profesional. I needed to have my kitchen remodeled. I wanted something simple and modern. Ilan came up with a great idea of combining black, white and grey and at the end my kitchen ended up looking as if it is a million dolar investment. I'm especially fascinated with the professional approach of all of Ilan's workers that did the job. They were open to communicate and explain everything I asked, also at the end of each day, they were leaving everything as clean as possible, considering the fact that they were working on the most important and most exposed part of the house. As professional as this company and the team are, they could compete with the most famous and well known remodeling companies throughout the USA. I would hire them again whenever I have something in mind about doing with my living space and I highly recommend Remodeling California Inc. read more

We were really happy with our bathroom remodel, the quality of the work and how helpful our project manager was, the way the workers treated our home with respect and the office staff. There were a few extra charges (mostly for upgrades we choose) for plumbing problems in our old pipes, but otherwise right on budget! read more

We have had 3 different jobs with Remodeling California including bathroom remodel, electrical rewiring, painting, flooring, and kitchen countertops. All work was done on time as promised by our contractor, Ilan. Professional, helpful suggestions, quality work. read more

We recently completely remodeled an old "50's" bathroom and replaced kitchen countertops. All work was exceptional quality - workers were polite, worked late as needed to meet deadlines with great attention to detail. Pricing was mid-range - and did not include the fixtures (toilet, vanity, shower faucet, kitchen sink.....) - however - Ilan did let us know about what they would cost so we were aware of total cost. Ilan offered many pictures and suggestions and was very knowledgeable about what was needed. All in all - highly recommend if you are looking for exceptional quality and work done within schedule promised. read more

We hired Ilan and his team to add/repair gutters around our house and re-do our patio roof, in anticipation of El Nino. Ilan's pricing was in line with other estimates we received, but his attention to detail was much greater. He was the only contractor who actually got up to see what, exactly, was wrong with our current patio roof. He took pictures of the missing shingles and exposed wood, and explained to us what steps he would take to repair it. He gave us a competitive estimate on repairing the current patio roof, and a much better price than others for demo'ing the current roof and putting in a new one. He was very knowledgeable about our options and walked us through all of them, without being pushy about any particular option. We decided to demo the old roof and build a new, extended roof. We had some issues with permitting and such (not at all Ilan's fault) and Ilan was responsive throughout, even when we had to delay the project. Once the permit came through, Ilan's team had the old patio roof down and the new one up in a matter of days. We love our new patio roof. It is beautiful and so much more durable than our old one. Ilan's design worked out wonderfully and we are very happy with both the process and the finished product. read more
