    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).

They helped me prolong the life of an outdated main panel, and I will definitely be using them to replace it soon. This is in contrast to another company that quoted me almost twice as much for a panel replacement and seemed to employ scare tactics to try to get me to sign. After the initial service, there was an issue that was arguably unrelated, but Ian promptly sent someone out to fix the issue without fuss because it had gone unnoticed during the first visit. I also have nothing but good things to say about the folks working under Ian. They were all easy-going and willing to spend the few extra minutes to answer my questions, so that I understood the problem and the solution. Happy I finally found my go-to electrician!

They helped us resolve a challenging electrical issue in our home, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Derek and Tyler were thoughtful, polite, and highly professional throughout the process. They took the time to thoroughly explain what was going on and kept us informed every step of the way. Despite the difficulty of the situation, they were able to identify the root cause, an obscure line break hidden behind a closet where no panel even existed. Their attention to detail and expertise were impressive, and they were able to fix the issue completely and restore everything to proper working order. We were extremely pleased with their work and professionalism. We would absolutely hire them again and highly recommend South Bay Electricians to anyone in need of reliable, skilled, and courteous electrical service.

These guys were one of the few that could handle the concrete work, and they also handle all the permit work as well.

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.

Everything was done very well and very quickly! Extremely competitive quote as well.

Geo was excellent and super professional when he did the quote, the guys who came out to do the work were great as well. Very efficient and clean.

Todd (owner) was one of the few we brought out who actually listened to our goals and honored our vision rather than proposed either much more elaborate (expensive) or simplified (corner-cutting) projects that we weren't asking for. His quote came in right around where we expected for the scope of work. Carlos, Jesse, and the rest of their crew were great to work with. They respected our home, kept things clean, consistently used drop cloths, even vacuuming here and there to keep any mess at bay. They fished the vast majority of the new wires so well we had almost no holes to patch after all was said and done -- and any that did exist they also did rough patchwork that was easy for me to sand/texture/finish on my own afterward. Surgical precision that we weren't quite expecting but definitely appreciated. The scope of work was pretty large so a few small details temporarily fell through the cracks along the way (as they do), but Carlos checked in with us every morning to make sure he stayed aware of anything that was previously overlooked and/or any thoughts or tweaks we might want to express. His diligence led to us ultimately ending up with exactly what we wanted -- even as folks who had lots of questions and details to iron out along the way. He made us feel comfortable reaching out anytime for any reason. I'd happily work with Penna again for any electrical project, this team reflects what I always hope for (but rarely get) in a contractor. Cheers!

He seemed to be very knowledgeable and know what he was doing. During the project, I showed it to a couple of contractors I know and they said it looked like he was doing a very professional job. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because the project dragged on for 10 months. One of the issues was that each time there was an inspection, a different inspector showed up and wanted changes from what the previous inspector had okayed. That seems to be part of doing business in Los Angeles and I don't hold Alex responsible because he was quick to make each change an inspector wanted. But there were also long periods of time when nothing was being done, perhaps because they were working on a different project. Would I use the company again? If it were a smaller project that didn't take as long, absolutely! Without a doubt! The work quality was excellent, communication on issues was excellent and Alex was easy to work with.
