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 This house was outdated and unattractive but…read morewe knew it could be special.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.

Just wanted to update on my experience with Cali Cove! They recently completed a beautiful ADU on…read moremy property along with some necessary pool house renovations - just in time for summer.

We had some older, non-LED recessed lighting that needed to be replaced. The older materials we…read moreneeded are no longer readily available, but Roobik was able to source some for us. He then timely scheduled the repair, which looks great and avoided causing any damage or scuffs to our ceiling. He did a great job!

Roobik has come to my house a total of three times…read more 1. He came to my house to install an outdoor outlet, which I did use him for (and tipped) 2. He came to my house to give a quote for a job I didn't use him for. 3. He came to my house one additional time (and now last time), to give a quote for a subpanel install outside. Within a few minutes of the third visit, after observing unrelated electrical work he didn't perform for me, he uttered something to the effect of "I've come to your house 2 or 3 times now and given you a quote, and you don't use me. I'm not going to provide a quote without charging 2 hours of labor, to measure the distance of the cable runs". On its own, a ridiculous statement which no other electrician has asked of me, as I have had other electricians bid for this job already that have no issues with taking out a tape measure and providing an estimate within a few minutes of being onsite. At the end of the day, I invited Roobik to my house in good faith, to provide an estimate for what will amount to several thousands of dollars of work, and rather than provide a quote, I got lectured and instructed to get a quote from the other electricians that have worked on my house. There are many electricians/contractors that aren't going to chastise you for not sending every job their way, I recommend you find a different electrician as this last (and final) interaction was baffling, unprofessional, and uncalled for.

I found JM Handyman Service on Yelp and chose them for their great rating!…read more I had a long list of things I needed that included Electrical, plumbing, drywall repair and more. I called Jack and he responded immediately. he came the next day and went through my list. he gave me a detailed estimate the next day and scheduled the work for 2 days later. they showed up on time and completed all the work. THEIR WORK WAS GREAT! Their prices were very fair. Their clean up was perfect! Jack and his team are really good at fixing everything I needed! I truly couldn't be happier! They are great at what they do and very professional in all ways! Since the original work, I've had them back to replace an attic vent fan. They handled that easily too. Great Service!

Straight forward quotes; timely arrival; responsive to concerns. I would hire JM handyman again.read more

Awful customer service... We needed a septic inspection for our escrow and called Gopher since one…read moreof our new neighbors uses them. Yvonne was so difficult to work with. As we were scheduling the inspection via email, we asked her basic questions (what time, how long will it take, whether I need to be present, etc.), and she never addressed them at all: she would just repeat the same reply of "my manager will be there"... We even responded with the questions listed out in bullet points to no avail. Luckily we found another septic company that was so much better (customer service, expertise) after, and we will continue to use them in the future.

This company was hired by the realtor that sold the house to us back in 2018. They inspected,…read morepumped, and re-certify the septic tank before they put the house on the market. Read the report and paid plumber for my own independent inspection. Found out there were root intrusions between the drain pipe coming out of the house and up to the septic tank. I gave them copy of the report and they said they will fix whatever needed to be done. I specifically requested to replace that pipe because I wasn't comfortable with having "minor root intrusions" as they coined it. Minor intrusions for me means the pipe is broken and dirt is going inside and roots are growing Six months after, we had a sewer back up inside the house and found out they didn't replace the whole pipe and also learned after digging by the company we hired that one segment of the pipe coming out of the house had holes and was never replaced.

We hired New Dawn Construction to renovate two rental apartments in a building that's over a…read morecentury 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.

New Dawn just completed a bathroom project for us plus replaced the floors in two of our bedrooms…read moreand 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.

They were willing to work with my design and even offered a few different ideas that made the space work a lot better than I anticipated. I highly recommend J&S. I think the pricing could have been a little bit lower, but I don't blame that on J&S, the price of materials was just skyrocketing when we were under construction.

I specifically asked if they could get the job done within a week time frame and Mike assured me that he could. The only reason I hired m2 was because I knew it would take me longer to get the work done and my wife didn't want to wait. A week later - job was not finished and I was not happy with work that had been done and to make things worse was my refrigerator was damaged at some point. They said the damage was there prior to work beinf started and I didn't want to argue - decided to just move on. Ended ip finishing the aork with the help of a friend.
