So glad I found LA Structural! They called me right back, scheduled a time for the next weekday, and Brandon showed up right on time. He took a look at my concerns & got under the house (on a 99 degree afternoon!). Brandon reassured me that there are no structural concerns, then took the time to explain how the supports under the house work, and why I might notice uneven places in the flooring. He did not try to sell me on anything, and did not charge me for the consultation. He gave me a ballpark estimate if I ever decide to do optional earthquake bracing, in a no-pressure manner; he was very clear that it's not a necessity. I'm so grateful for local Burbank businesses that offer their expertise to our community. Thank you!

LICENSE SUSPENDED: Avoid This Contractor: Failed to Comply with CSLB Arbitration Award…read more I am updating this review to warn other homeowners to check the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) records before hiring LA Structural. As of March 2026, their license has been officially suspended due to their failure to comply with a legally binding arbitration award. On October 22, 2024, LA Structural requested and collected full payment for the second contract (permit acquisition for all work listed in the first contract) before any permit-related work began. Note: This is a violation. Despite full payment on November 26, 2024, none of the required permit finalizations occurred as promised, and the contractor stopped all permit-related work. Required tasks--such as coordinating inspections, correcting the soil compaction report rejected by LADBS, and managing final permit approvals--were not performed by LA Structural and were left entirely to me. I spent the following five months working directly with LADBS and city inspectors to complete these tasks. During those five months, I identified two defective areas of work. First, the soil compaction report was rejected due to LA Structural's circumvention of requirements. LA Structural hired a deputy instead of a third-party geotechnical engineer, bypassing the grading inspector's requirement and misleading me as the client after charging an additional fee for this engineer and report in November 2024. Consequently, in February 2025, Inspector Bonvouloir officially rejected the report. Later, Clark Inspections--the subcontractor hired by LA Structural--emailed me stating that LA Structural planned to use their in-house engineer to revise the soil compaction report, again attempting to bypass the requirement. I ultimately had to redo the soil compaction report through a licensed geotechnical engineer and resubmit it, after which it passed the city's review. The second defective work involved the drainage pipe and was documented in the CSLB investigation report. After 13 months of CSLB mediation, investigation, and site inspection, a mandatory arbitration hearing took place on January 22, 2026. The arbitrator ruled in my favor and ordered payment within 30 days. LA Structural failed to comply, resulting in their current license suspension. Notably, prior to the issuance of the stipulated arbitration award letter, the contractor repeatedly attempted to have me sign his own private settlement agreement--non-CSLB documents with terms that went beyond what had been agreed upon at the hearing. Don't sign it! I later learned that this is a common tactic contractors use to remove CSLB from the matter. Per CSLB instruction, I filed a claim with their bond company, Jet Insurance, to recover the awarded payment. Despite their written commitment on February 11, 2026, to issue payment if the contractor failed to meet the CSLB deadline, Jet Insurance instead extended the deadline to March 27, 2026, stating that "the contractor intends to make payment by this week." LA Structural failed to meet this extended deadline as well. On March 30, 2026, I received an email from Jet Insurance stating, "Attached is the Final Release and Assignment of Claim agreement, relating to the claim...In order to issue payment for this claim, Jet Insurance Company requires the attached agreement to be reviewed, physically signed and all pages returned." It has taken 16 months to recover my funds for their abandoned and defective work since their collection of full payment. Based on my understanding, when a bond company pays out a claim, the contractor's license remains suspended until specific legal and financial requirements are met for reinstatement.

I though my wife posted the review, just saw that it was still pending. We would wholeheartedly…read morerecommend Alex to anyone as good business deserves more business! Our project was a big project, to us at least. We bought a duplex and took it down to the bones and made it into a single family house in LA. We have heard horror stories of our friends remodel stories and did not want to fall into that trap; as a result we interviewed 11 contractors/companies for our project. The estimates were all over the place! Enter All install - Alex was very through with his questions, he saw our plans (My wife's friend is an Architect, so we had rough plans) made recommendations and challenged us on the flow. We were impressed that he was thinking for us and putting his experience to guide us. e was # 5th contractor at the time we spoke to 6 more and none of them made recommendations that Alex made. After a couple of Months of deliberation over our sketches and re-meeting some contractors, we felt confident Alex/All Install was the one! We signed the contract with him. Alex was very punctual and courteous all in all Alex is AWSOME, his knowledge & demeanor is very professional and patient. He takes the time to fully understand the issues and pain points that as a new homeowner helps quite a bit. The Construction lasted 8 Months and everything was on schedule. There were times when things were a bit behind, but mostly because we had made changes to the original design, or had a better idea as we saw the design come to life. We have attached a few ics for you to see before and after. Complete teardown of the duplex and now we have: - 3 Bedrooms - 3 Bathrooms - Kitchen - Laundry Room - Dining area - Living room - Study - Front and back yard. Fast Forward - 1 year later - We had called alex with some minor issues, he came himself to see and told us that he will take care of it, and it was all covered under All Install warranty!! Did not upsell or charge us a dime. That is a true professional! We had a great, on-time, on-budget house project!!! For our next real estate remodel/construction needs we can't think of anyone except Alex. Period. See the pics, the proof is in there of his work.

(Check out the before and after shots below) I can't say enough amazing and great things about Alex at All Install. He is the best Contractor that I have ever come across. Honest, hard working, dependable, thorough, detail oriented, kind, friendly, clean cut. That covers the basics. His company was such a great discovery for us. We purchase a home in September and decided to renovate the entire house except for two of the three bathrooms. It was a BIG job. Alex came out to our house for a FREE walkthrough of our home and listened intently to all of our crazy ideas and plans. He was so considerate and enthusiastic, which REALLY made us feel comfortable as we were total newbies with this being the first home that we had ever purchased. Alex spent about 2 hours with us. It was amazing. A few days later he gave us the estimate for basically redoing the entire house and lets just say it was WAY, WAY less than the other two estimates we got! We thought it was too good to be true!! It wasn't! Alex came through for us in every way! He even hung the TV's on the walls for us at no extra fee. He said it was his "House warming gift to us" We ended up using Alex and the great guys at All Install and the work got started immediately. The guys were consistent and never missed a day of work. We were never left wondering where are these guys or any of those horror stories that you hear about Contractors in Los Angeles. We did A LOT of work to our home. We basically had Alex Renovate (and help Design at no additional fee) the entire home. It was a BIG job. We couldn't be happier with the final result. If you need a contractor and you want a solid, dependable and extremely capable guy, do yourself a favor and call Alex at All Install. After you meet him I know that he will be your choice as he was for us. It will be the first and best decision you will make in your home perfect!

At the onset of the project I was told the job would be completed in less than 20 days and it only took 6 days for them to complete!. The team was very organized and Solomon's communication skills are beyond reproach. He and his team are very professional, knowledgeable and hard working. Solomon stayed on target with his quote and there were no changes in cost throughout. His quote was right on target with what I'd hoped to pay for this project. Extremely fair and right in my budget.

Solomon's commitment, professional insight, meticulous attention, and hands on approach during the planning and execution has been invaluable to us. While he will execute your vision, he would also provide his own insight to help us think through any considerations as to why or why we shouldn't do something. Whether it was just not worth the cost, add value to our home/lifestyle or a find potential alternative/balance. The statement of work he provides is fully laid out and he explains line by line to ensure we're on the same page. Payments were scheduled for specific milestones. This was our first major remodel endeavor, so quite an exciting and scary process considering the potential investment and living adjustment during the process. We initially reached out to Solomon regarding adding square footage to our home. A 4' bump forward, adding an additional bedroom, and bumping the back of our house for a new kitchen. He was very clear up front of the overall process, timeline and expectations to ensure we knew the order of sequence of how the project would roll out. He spent a good 6 months with us during the planning and design phase, from engineering, blueprinting and permitting. We also visited some of his previous customers and talked to his customers and they all shared the same sentiment of his approach and quality of work. While we did not end up moving forward with the remodel, as we decided to purchase a new home, we did however need to get our home rent ready. This included a new roof, new gutters, stucco, paint exterior, retaining planter wall, new porch and backyard deck. Without question we stuck with Solomon and he was more than happy to work with us, while a smaller scope of work it was still quite a lot of moving parts. All while also re-leveling and tiling my mother in law's balcony. It's important to understand that any significant project requires a partnership and open communication. Bumps are expected but the open communication we had was all it took to make sure both parties were on the same page. It's also important to note that it's also my responsibility as the customer to be available and respond in a timely manner to ensure his teams stayed the course as key decision points. The end result was exactly as we expected. While we continue to search for a new house, we are now leveraging Solomon's expertise and he's assisting us in vetting houses that we may be interested in to ensure it's a sound investment I without a doubt highly recommend Solomon for any project you may have in the pipeline.
