It went so well the first time, we are at it again! On a friend's recommendation, we sought out…read moreG+A for our main guest bathroom and master bedroom closet remodels. Stephen Gabor was hands on from design to finish and we actually enjoyed it! OK, maybe not the chaos of actual construction but the people (from Stephen down to every one on his crew) were nice, hardworking professionals who not only did a great job, but were careful and sweet with our 16year old dog that kept getting in their way. =) The surprise of majorly damaged walls and old pipes that needed to be completely redone added to the timeline but when it was all said and done, we could not have been happier. So we are now doing our master bathroom and the last guest bathroom with G+A and their crew!

You don't walk into a car dealership and put your money down before you know what you're going to get. That's why it's imperative that you go with a company that values quality and has some serious integrity. I see a few reviews here that are low and ultimately they did little or no work with the company. As a customer that spent over $100,000 with Gabor + Allen I can tell you that their work is second to none. Even a year after the job was done I felt I must return and write this review. Every time I wake up in the morning and enjoy the full renovation of my place I think of Stephen and his team. I've uploaded some images of their work so you can see the exceptional quality and attention to detail. My place was 40+ years old and I had the vision that would make a Las Vegas 5 star hotel blush. Stephen Gabor, his designer Chelsea and their solid crew made the dream a reality. The pictures don't lie. :) This was a full gut of a large area, right down to the studs. The attention to detail was insane. Measurements had to be dead on and to the nearest quarter inch for everything to fit. Symmetry was everywhere and they delivered. Grout lines in a shower that actually make mathematical, beautiful, sense, who else will offer you that? (note the image of the shower and how all the fixtures line up exactly centered on the grout lines, not randomly in some awkward piece of a tile). To achieve this it meant several more cuts and HOURS of labor, but quality is what you get when you go with these guys. From the moment you first meet them you can see you are working with true professionals and I can't say enough good things about the kind of quality and precision they offer you. If you are looking for low end apartment quality renovations, G+A isn't your go to company. If you're looking to renovate your home into a dream that you want to live in and enjoy for endless years to come, don't risk going anywhere else.

We originally found them by driving around West LA looking at homes we loved, and after interviewing dozens of firms, it was clear that Jalda and Bertrand stood apart. As a husband-and-wife design-build team with children of their own, they immediately understood our vision of creating a true family home - one that would work for our lives now and grow with us in the future. The result is a stunning home that we absolutely love. They helped us design spaces that feel both beautiful and deeply functional: multiple family gathering areas, incredible natural light throughout, and seamless indoor/outdoor living. The moment people step inside, they immediately comment on how unique and intentional every detail feels, and on the level of personalization throughout the home. We also appreciated how thoughtful they were about budget and long-term value. Jalda and Bertrand helped us stay within budget as best as possible - even when worst-case scenarios came up - and they consistently took our priority of maximizing equity into account. They offered clear guidance on where to invest, where to save, and how certain design choices would impact both our day-to-day living and the home's long-term value. Their transparency and proactive problem-solving made every step more manageable. They guided us through the entire process with professionalism, creativity, and genuine care. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to build or renovate a truly custom home.

I had no idea what I wanted to do in this space and I'm not good at doing interior design. Decided to give Simple Squared a call to get a consultation.

She came to my home wearing a mask and I was very happy she did that. After accepting her proposal, she had measurements taken of the room. She efficiently sent us design layouts for both rooms. We Loved it!! She chose everything we needed. She made a visit during construction to ensure accuracy of her design.
