    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.

    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!

    First few days after install, watering it for optimal curing.

    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.

    John and his team are amazing, this is our second time using them. They removed the old shutters off our house and smooth stuccoed the house. The team Was fast and efficient and they always make sure to keep the rest of our property nice and clean. They did an amazing job and literally transformed our house with a "face lift" 5 stars again and can't wait to use them for more future projects

    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. Built forms in two days, poured concrete on the third day. He coordinated with fence company as well. The end result was so good many neighbors said they want to do similar designs. I'm glad I found John, he can definitively do it right.

    John and We Do it Custom did an awesome job on our remodel!! It came out just as my wife and I envisioned it! We hit a couple snags on the way (behind the walls) which John handled with his experience and very professionally. His workers were exceptional in their work ethic and work quality. I very highly recommend him to take on your project!!

    My husband and I have been planning to have our backyard cemented for easy/low maintenance for many years and finally we decided to make it happen. I went on yelp to look for the top rated concrete contractor in my area (South Bay) and I found John and his company "We Do It Custom" for having 5 stars reviews and pictures to prove his work. I called John and he was able to come to my house to look at my backyard and provide an estimate the same day. From the beginning, John had excellent communication, punctual, friendly, and professional. I received the estimate the following day. We decided to go with John for our project and I'm so happy we did! He was always so prompt to respond to my texts, patiently answered my questions, and his prices are reasonable/competitive. John and his team worked really hard and were professional. At the end of each day they made sure the area was clean and ready for the next day's prep work. The whole project took 4 days as he mentioned in the contract and he was on point. Throughout the process he kept me informed about the plans, changes, and anything that came up. Great communication and customer service is so important to me and John delivered high quality work and honest. After the job was done, he made sure the area was clean and organized. We are very pleased with the results and love our backyard! I'm so happy that we chose John for our project. We can finally use our backyard. Overall, John, Stephen, and his whole team at We Do It Custom are professional, hard workers, produced high quality work, and excellent communication/customer service! I highly recommend John and his company. We will definitely go with him for future projects! Thank you John, Stephen, and all the crew for doing an amazing job!

    John is one of the best GCs in the business bar none. We had a lot of tricky custom work done at our house and his patience and expertise turned our backyard into a wonderland! This GC and subs flat out deliver and hold to their word, which is a rarity today!

    Yelpers: look no further and hire John McMinn and We Do It Custom. John is most trustworthy, honest and personable. He is an absolute pleasure to do business with. His work is clean, neat and tidy and you hardly know he is "in your space," while he's working away. His prices are reasonable and his jobs come in on time and on budget. We will hire him again for a bathroom re-do soon. I highly recommend him, willingly and without hesitation. I welcome you to call/email me for additional reference. See before and after on my concrete driveway that John fixed for us, attached:

    John and the team at WE DO IT CUSTOM helped us completely transform our home! Initially hired John to redo my driveway but after an awesome job with the concrete work, we had him do much more such as installing iron doors from Pinky's , new smooth stucco installation, new entry way ceiling construction and light fixtures installation. He is a great communicator and delegates tasks to his team efficiently . Don't mickey mouse your project , go with a pro that won't rob your pockets! Thanks again John. My contractor for life!

    This is the finished concrete (but before they secured the artificial grass back down).

    Needed to get a panel upgrade and an EV charger installed. There's an open space between my panel…read moreand my garage, so I was told by other electricians that I'd have to get someone else to break the concrete because they don't do that. These guys were one of the few that could handle the concrete work, and they also handle all the permit work as well. Staff worked hard, finished everything quickly and made sure the work site was clean as a whistle after they finished. Everyone was really friendly, from the receptionist on the phone, the staff and the people giving me estimates. It's been more than a year since I got my EV charger installed, and I haven't noticed any problems since then. Price-wise, I feel it was pretty fair especially considering how they made everything so convenient. All in all, they did everything well. I'd have no problems recommending them to others, and will likely go back to them when I need other things addressed in the house.

    TL:DR Reasonable pricing, relatively quick appointments, and good quality work. The downside was…read morethat their communication wasn't great so there were miscommunications between various people there and I needed to be fairly persistent to make sure we moved things along and I got the work we requested. But all in all, I would use them again for sure - just knowing I might have to follow up from time to time. Longer review: we contacted them to give us a quote for a whole house fan and attic fan. Of the quotes we got, they were very reasonable and they also had appointments available relatively soon. The person who came for the quote wasn't sales-y either which was a plus. I won't go into details of the various hurdles to communicate with them but it just wasn't very smooth. When they came to do the attic fan first, they told me they could only do that because the whole house fan had not arrived yet. Then they installed it and forgot to install a switch which was part of the quote. When they came to do the whole house fan a week later, again they didn't know to install a switch for the attic fan. I also had trouble with the invoice. Ultimately, they had a good price and did good work so I'm satisfied but just couldn't give them 5 stars because the overall experience was a little clunky. That said, I would definitely use them again.

We still paid him. Southern Ca Edison came and correctly diagnosed the issue and fixed it. It turns out that they are the ones who we should have called first but we didn't know that. They said we can submit a claim for reimbursement. Alfred dodged all my husband's atttempts to get an invoice. When I called, it turns out he refused to give me an invoice because he thinks I am going to commit fraud all because I asked him the day that he was here if he is licensed bonded and insured which is a normal question to ask of a contractor. He accused me of trying to commit fraud when he was the one who spent two hours here and couldn't even figure what the problem is all the time saying that he had to leave to buy his mom lunch.

I do believe with his help, he got to the right people at SoCal Edison to get my lines fixed promptly before there was a more serious issue, and god forbid a fire. He followed up a even after we got our lines repaired just to make sure everything was back to normal. Overall 10/10 work, thanks Alfredo.

I was totally dreading waiting around for someone to stop by between 7am to 7pm sometime in the far future, I called Adaza (they were third on my list - the first two didn't answer) A guy (I'm sorry I don't remember his name! (I'll come back and edit this if I remember)) picked up right away and he listened to me vent. We were on the phone less than 5 minutes, he told me how to troubleshoot over the phone and helped me fix it right then and there. I was soooo happy and relieved that I didn't have to stay home all day for an electrician to show up and then slap me with a huge bill. He was super patient, stayed on the phone with me and didn't charge me a penny. He genuinely was happy to help me out and wasn't annoyed that he wasn't making any money from me. Well here is me paying it forward, I am their customer for life and my husband is happy he's not sleeping on the couch anymore. Thanks Adaza Electric!
