We had a fantastic experience with Alpha Structural on a challenging structural project. We needed…read moreto replace a 25-foot beam in our cathedral ceiling and sister lots of rafters--work that could have easily turned into a major disruption if done from the exterior. The team found a smart solution to complete the entire project from inside the house, which allowed us to avoid opening the roof and dealing with weather exposure. That alone gave us a lot of peace of mind. Aldo, the structural assessor, was especially helpful throughout the process--patient with our many questions, clear in his communication, and thorough. Erick was consistently responsive as things came up. On site, Gilberto did excellent work with the team and provided steady, capable support through the build. Overall, we're very grateful for their professionalism, problem-solving approach, and the quality of the finished work.

When we moved to Oxnard, California two years ago, we did not realize that the parking rules would…read morebe so restrictive. It did not take long for the HOA to make it clear that we had a problem. After a few letters from the HOA delineating the parking rules for both the driveway and the street we searched for a contractor who could remodel the garage to accommodate our 24-foot Sprinter Van. After researching a few companies in the area, we decided on Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. and we were happy to sign a contract with Jacob Lankri, the owner. The first step was to decide on the basic design package. Once that was settled, we submitted the engineered plans to our HOA. After many months of wrangling with the HOA, Gilah Lankri, the project engineer, was able to produce engineered drawings that met the HOA's aesthetics and expectations. Jacob and Gilah submitted the plans to the city of Oxnard. Unfortunately, it took the city of Oxnard a frustrating 10 months to review and approve the plans. All the while, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. stayed with us determined to get approval. Once we got approval to begin construction in December 2024, the demolition of the old garage was accomplished quite quickly. Even though we hit a snag regarding the Southern California Gas Company line, we eventually got approval to relocate and replace the line which delayed the project 5 weeks. Finally in March 2025 construction of the new Garage began in earnest. Jacob's team, led by an amazing foreman, Edgar, constructed a new elevated ceiling in the garage with new rafters and support beams as well as new tiled roof. The inside of the garage was completely refinished with drywall, texturing and fresh paint. New and improved lighting was installed in the garage along with assorted electrical outlets. The finishing touches included a new door to the backyard, matching the epoxy surfacing on the garage floor and patching preexisting holes in the walls. Outside, new stucco and siding had to be applied as well as painted. The disconnected solar panels and rain gutters were expertly reinstalled. In addition, an area of the driveway had to have pavers reinstalled looking better than before. I addition to the garage remodel project, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. procured and installed a new sliding glass door complete with a doggy door for access to the back patio. They also removed a set of windows in the dining room and then procured and installed a beautiful set of French doors. Finally, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. removed an old single front door and expertly installed a beautiful mahogany double front door. All the finishing details were expertly accomplished.

I specifically requested a civil engineer to look at the drainage situation at our house, along with the waterproofing at our exterior doors. Their web site states that they have civil engineers on staff, and I therefore thought they'd be able to help. In my case, however, they sent a structural engineer and he didn't have a whole lot to say and was apparently unable to comment with any level of detail about the concerns I had regarding drainage or waterproofing. It was honestly just an $1100 waste of time.

This was an indication that my house was sinking a bit due to the really spongy dirt the houses in my area are built on. I solicited for foundation repair jobs on Yelp where I came across Sunshine foundation repair. After back to back estimate appointments, I met Jonathan who was knowledgeable and professional. He explained what could have been the cause of my issues (all of which aligned with what other companies told me) and was friendly an professional. The experience was one of those where you know the estimator isn't BS-ing you or trying to take advantage of protentional new customer business. After getting an estimate that was competitive with others, I decided to go with Sunshine Foundation Repairs. The office staff was also friendly and helpful in clarifying the process of the job which was to install new concrete pier-blocks embedded in concrete with pressure treated posts as well as to perform some minor foundation repair. When it came time to do the work, the team showed up on-time and prepared. They finished the job in a single day and cleaned up in and around the area, which I was pleased to see. The crew was nice as well. I haven't had any major rain to see if the foundation repair met my needs so time will tell. However, the overall structural integrity is an improvement that gives me the peace of mind for my home investment. I would highly recommend Sunshine Foundation Repairs.

As a Los Angeles…read morereal estate broker and investor who regularly purchases properties to renovate and flip, I've worked with many foundation specialists over the years--and Jonathan and his team consistently stand out. I rely on Sunshine Foundation Repairs both for my clients' home purchases and for my own investment properties. They are always timely, extremely thorough in their inspections, and very accurate when diagnosing structural and foundation-related issues. Just as importantly, their pricing to correct problems is fair, transparent, and realistic--which is critical when evaluating repair scope during escrow or planning a renovation budget. Jonathan does an excellent job explaining issues clearly to buyers, sellers, agents, and contractors alike. That level of communication helps transactions stay on track and gives everyone confidence in the repair strategy. In my experience, having a foundation specialist you can trust makes a huge difference in Los Angeles real estate transactions, especially with older housing stock. Sunshine Foundation Repairs has become one of my go-to resources because they are dependable, knowledgeable, and professional every time. I strongly recommend Jonathan and his team to anyone needing an honest evaluation or quality foundation repair work.
