We highly recommend John and the We Do It Custom team. They completed an 800 sq. ft. addition to our 1,500 sq. ft. starter home and turned it into a beautiful 2,300 sq. ft. "forever home." The project included adding a new bedroom, bathroom, and walk-in closet, as well as opening up and expanding our kitchen, dining and living room to create a huge open and inviting living space. One of the more complex parts of the project involved removing a load-bearing wall and installing structural beams to support the new open layout. John and his team handled this seamlessly, and the finished result looks fantastic. John's crew was punctual, hardworking, and professional throughout the entire project. John's communication skills were great as he was always responsive and willing to answer questions, always replying to texts in the evenings or on weekends when decisions came up. He also helped guide us through the permitting process, which made a potentially stressful step much easier. Another thing we really appreciated was how conscientious the team was about cleanliness. With two kids and two dogs at home, it meant a lot that they took the time to clean up the worksite each evening and keep things as safe and organized as possible. John works with high-quality subcontractors who are reliable and take pride in their work, and it shows in the finished product. We're extremely happy with the results. Our home now truly feels like our dream home, and we would absolutely recommend John and the We Do It Custom team to anyone considering a renovation or addition. read more

I have worked with John twice for my previous house and current house. For our first house, the project involved demo'ing our existing stucco, adding insulation, applying new coats of stucco, finish with smooth stucco and accent sidings. He also demo'ed our entrance concrete and installed pavers. Everything was done according to plan and there was no surprises. Price was reasonable. We got a new home and needed to add a top smooth stucco on existing stucco. We also had to modify our 3 single-door garage into a 1 single plus 1 double door. We also needed to install a new entry door, window sills, etc. John came through again with a reasonable price after interviewing a few others. The garage door modification was very substantial involving structural engineering drawing, replacing steel beam, new framing, etc. John was able to complete all of these and helped us pass final inspection. We had to pause for over 6 months waiting for our custom entry door to be made, and once it arrived John wrapped up everything without any delays. In all honesty we never worked with any GC more than once, but John is the only exception. read more

I was in search of a contractor to help address work that was previously done at a property that was in the process of being sold. John was able to address all the work needed, pulled permits, ensured city inspection passed and through then whole process he was very professional and communicated expectations. He delivered the work in a short time frame ensuring the property could close on time. read more

I have never in my life experience such an amazing company that listen to me. Every word that I said never interrupted me did exactly what I wanted. Gave me good ideas. It was just amazing.

That is the most important thing put us in the project. Talk to us about the project, have our dream together with us and do it custom ! Great company read more

I've had the chance to see this company's work up close, and the quality really speaks for itself. They specialize in residential construction and custom homes, and it shows in the attention to detail from framing to finish work. If you're looking for a reliable contractor for a custom home or residential project, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. read more

We had some water damage to an interior wall at the front of our house due to a leak in our roof. We hired john and his company for the repairs. First off, John McMinns professionalism is outstanding. He was always there if we had any questions or concerns before during and even after the project was finished. His workers were extremely detailed with the work they did. They were always on time and on top of each step of the way. His pricing wasn't the highest and wasn't the lowest we got but we felt it was fair, and the feeling I got from John when I spoke with him was the driving factor to go with him. He made it feel personal for him and not just another "job". He came with other ideas, and didn't say that's what needed to happen but offered suggestions. If you're considering any kind of home project repair I would highly recommend John McMinn and We Do it Custom. read more

John built us our dream home. It was a total redo - every pipe, wire, all drywall, square footage added, walls moved - basically a new home. Many contractors we interviewed thought it would take between one and two years to complete the scope of work. John runs his teams so efficiently, we moved back in after 10 months. He is also a man of his word, a fair negotiator, and he understands quality work. A project like this comes with many unforeseen events and loads of stress. We appreciated John working through all of it with us. We are grateful for his work and we love our new home so much! read more

John and his crew recently did a large driveway replacement for me which also included sewer line replacement and demolition of an existing gate, plus some minor masonry work. They did a stellar job. I'm almost hesitant to share a review because I'm going to want John on more house projects and worry about making him too busy to fit me in! I've worked and crossed paths with many contractors in Los Angeles, and most are horrible - poor scheduling, lacking in details, inconsistent quality. John is a general contractor who's a cut above all others I've worked with. If you've lived in Los Angeles long enough you know how hard it is to find a reliable crew for home repairs and improvements. You end up being your own general contractor to get anything done, let alone done right. With John, I was able to just explain what I wanted and leave the rest on his shoulders. If anything came up, we were able to communicate and resolve. The end result was also well done. John is incredibly communicative, clear, and willing to work with you on your project needs. His team is respectful and reliable. Know what you want, make your plans, communicate what you need and work out the details with him and you'll be happy. read more

I needed a new contractor because my previous one bailed out on me two months ago. I called John, told him what I wanted in order to finish the project . He was able to help me right away.

I'm glad I found John, he can definitively do it right. read more

My home was recently affected by a leak from the exterior siding not being fully waterproofed. It affected three of the bedrooms and some of the flooring. I was looking around for contractors to come and put back the drywall, fix the exterior siding, put in new flooring, paint, install baseboards and crown molding, and fully waterproof the area. I found many others that were way out of budget, but John and his crew came by and were able to give a very reasonable estimate and timeline for the work. John laid out everything that was going to be done and the materials that were going to be needed. He and his crew were organized, communicated well, and did great work.

John is a no BS kinda guy with old school manners. Something that is hard to find these days!! read more

Our relatively small cement project involved filling in three former garden plots along an adjacent sidewalk that we no longer needed. In preparation for the work I disconnected the irrigation feeding the areas as there would no longer be any need to water the area which was also causing undesirable soil erosion. So I called John at WE DO IT CUSTOM after reading positive online customer reviews. We discussed the work over the phone and after texting John some photos he gave me a verbal cost estimate. John informed me that although his schedule was currently busy he would be able to fit me in. John and his assistant Andreas arrived a few days later exactly on time to set up then complete this half-day project. Before beginning John explained exactly what he was going to do, how long it would take, answered all my questions, and invited me to examine and contribute to the final surface appearance. John had excellent communication skills, was punctual, friendly, and professional. End result I am completely satisfied with the integrity, honesty, and quality work of WE DO IT CUSTOM and look forward to future projects around the house that John said he would be able to do. read more

I went with We Do It Custom to redo my front and backyard porches. I have complaints with the outcome of both projects. I'll start with the front porch first - 1. To this day I'm not 100% sure if the concrete installed has rebar as stated in my contract. On the day of the concrete pour after I questioned John about the rebar, he asked his worker if the concrete had rebar and the worker sheepishly replied, "yes." Makes me wonder if that's why a hairline crack appeared a couple of months later. 2. There was 2-4" of exposed flashing that I was surprised that John was going to leave visible. After I complained, he cut it crookedly and left it exposed in some spots. Don't place your hand over it because you will get cut like he did when he tried cutting it down. 3. There is a gap between where the concrete meets with the house. I hired a contractor to place trim around my porch to somewhat remedy the eyesore. On to the backyard - 1. There were remnants of the previous porch after the new porch was installed (the ground was not smooth on the sides). John suggested using epoxy to fix the problem. It was obvious that he was unsure if that was the most effective solution so my husband and I suggested that he use a thin coat of concrete instead. The outcome was at best okay. 2. The concrete cracked on the steps about a month or so later. John decided to repair it by cutting the concrete along the crack line. Now I have a line in the middle of my backyard step. The line would have been longer if my husband hadn't noticed and stopped him in the process. So, for what I paid, I should not have had to hire a contractor to go behind his work. The workers appeared more knowledgeable and paid more attention to detail than John the Contractor. read more

Above and beyond. John and his crew did an excellent job with our demolition and building the block wall. He was very prompt, polite, and professional. Like the other reviews stated, he communicates very well and is very much about the customers needs. We had quite a few requests and he accommodated them all with ease. His price was fair and was itemized to show what was being spent where which was a huge help to us when we were still shopping around for bids. We decided to pull the permits ourselves, which initially we were met with a bureaucratic nightmare. We called John to let him know we weren't able to get the permit and he came to the permit office with me the next day and we walked out, permit in hand, within 30 minutes. Highly recommend We Do It Custom for all your needs and he is definitely going on our list of recommended contractors for the future. read more
