We…read morehad a vision to transform our modest 2-bedroom, 1 1/2-bathroom home into a spacious 2-story, 4-bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom dream house, and thanks to Oury, that vision became a reality beyond our expectations. From start to finish, Oury was a true professional. He took the time to really understand our needs, listened to our ideas, and helped us make choices that would fit both our lifestyle and budget. He was in constant communication--he kept us in the loop every step of the way, always answering our questions and offering helpful suggestions. He had a recommendation for every aspect of the build, and every person he recommended us to work with was just as professional, kind and detailed. The quality of the work is absolutely stunning. From the laying of our tiles in the bathroom to the beautiful new hardwood floors, we were amazed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Oury was completely transparent about timeframe and budget throughout the whole process. And if we ever had any questions, he was always available to talk through everything. We can't rave enough about the crew --friendly, respectful, and clearly skilled in what they do. Our project manager, Alfredo, and his whole team were so great to work with. Anything we asked for, they made happen. Even after moving back in, when we had small fixes, they came in quickly and efficiently and were kind with everything we asked. We couldn't have asked for a smoother renovation experience. What truly sets Oury and his team apart is his ability to handle challenges. No project is without its hiccups, but he navigated each one with ease and always found the best solution. We were never left in the dark, and we always felt confident in his ability to bring our ideas to life. We're beyond happy with the results. Our home is now everything we wanted and more--spacious, beautiful, and perfectly suited to our family. We can't recommend Oury and Universal Home Designs enough if you're looking for a contractor who not only delivers top-notch work but also makes the entire renovation process smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. Thank you, Oury, for turning our house into the home of our dreams!

The Precise team (Moshe, Dino, and Asa) are extremely responsive and easy to work with. Asa did great work in showing us 3D renderings of the plans to give us a sense of what it would like which was super helpful. They also have a great eye for design and functionality and made on-point suggestions that improved the overall project. In addition, they made excellent recommendations for where to purchase various items like the BBQ, heaters, and fireplace. While we had a some bumps and hiccups along the way, the Precise team worked with us to get over those issues quickly and ultimately completed the project on time for us to enjoy it for our daughter's graduation party.

Dino and his team worked with us to do a full remodel of our house in West LA. It was a complex…read moreproject, but we were thrilled with the end result. We've referred him to friends and family, and we would certainly hire Precise again for future projects. Dino is very professional and is on top of the project details. We had worked with another contractor years earlier on a different home project, so I know what it's like to work with a GC who cuts corners and that was not our experience with Dino at all. If his crew ever made a mistake, Dino took responsibility and made the correction. Precise's office was detail-oriented as well, providing us with milestone invoices (and Change Order info) for us to approve before payment. My advice is to have as detailed a plan as possible before you start. We also had hired a designer who helped us decide all the finishes, etc., and Dino worked well with her. Dino also has a good eye for design, and was able to weigh in and provide another opinion when necessary. He even came up with several design elements which we really appreciated. On a personal level, we also enjoyed our interactions with Dino. He's a funny, good guy, who takes pride in his work. That's something many people might not think about, but if you're going to spend months and months (and months) with a GC, it'd really suck if you didn't like being around that person. And when we needed Precise to address an issue or two after we moved in, Dino didn't push back and got his guys on-site to fix the problem. Look, things are almost certainly going to go wrong when you do a home build or large renovation. Budgets may get increased, supplies may get delayed, etc. It can be stressful! So you want someone who can help solve problems and be a partner in the project. We felt Dino was the right partner for our project.

After doing some roof work in the area, a representative stopped by to suggest a protective coating…read moreon my roof. I'd seen them replace a neighbor's roof and was impressed with how neat and good it looked. So, I was comfortable with them doing the coating, which I didn't even know about. I've been anticipating I'd have to do some major roof work at some point. But, I figure this coating has extended the life of my roof by 5 to 10 years. Showed up as promised, although some of my preliminary communications with the first representative were not relayed to the lead worker and I had to go over some of the same territory. That's my only issue. The work was swift but good. And John worked with me on scheduling payments, because I hadn't anticipated this expense at this time. On that score, John was FANTASTIC! Very willing to work with me and I just paid the balance recently. They also offered and did some touch up painting around my property, which had been fully painted about five years ago. But some edges were cracking. So, they were fixed very well in the same service call. They properly prepared the surface and did not just do a quick patch. My photo is several months later, so the house is a bit dirty, not their work, and the "seam" has always been there. I also had them put on a new wind turbine on the roof over an HVAC unit installed in the attic more than 10 years ago, to let heat escape. Again, neat work. There were loads of assurances that they would happily come back if there was anything I was unhappy about. Great, VERY personable service!

For a job like this, I needed someone with general construction, plumbing, and roofing knowledge and they checked all the boxes. Definitely consider them for your next project whether it's big or small!

Iler is an honorable and trustworthy contractor. Initially, I had doubts because he seemed very…read morepicky about details. However, I later realized that his meticulousness stems from a deep care for his work. While he may not be very explanatory, giving him the time and trust to work his way will result in outstanding outcomes. Even more importantly, when things went wrong--as they sometimes do--he took responsibility and made significant efforts to fix them, repeatedly until satisfaction. This is not easy, but he did it for me. Most contractors don't even visit the site regularly, but he does, often checking to ensure everything is proceeding correctly. He mentioned he has a clean record and takes it very seriously. He definitely takes pride in his work. I would highly recommend him.
