I have been meaning to write a review about our experience working with Sapeer and his crew but I waited because I wanted to make sure I wrote a good one because he deserves it. I am going to start first with our experience with the other contractors. My husband and I were looking for a contractor to help us fix my in-law's house so we could move in. We have met with one contractor and they convinced us must first replace the existing cinder fence around the house and fix the foundation of the house before even fixing the cracks on the walls and other stuff that really wanted done in the first. They sent us a proposal which we approved until we realized that they were not pulling permits. We asked them to do that first before proceeding with the project. That was last October and we never heard back from them until January, that was after me reaching out to them multiple times. By the time they got back to us, the new proposal of the project went up to $30K. Their reason being, the price of the materials have gone up since the last proposal. So we decided not to do the major work (fence and foundation) for now and just do the interior work. They said okay but then days went by. Then weeks went by. We never heard back from them. We got ghosted. They didn't even give us back the blue print of the house, I had to call them several times until they told us to go get it from their engineer. By now, we're so behind our schedule of moving into my in-law's house so now we had to scramble and find another contractor. We met with two contractors who never got back to us perhaps because the project we are proposing is not big enough. Then, someone referred me to EMPIRE HOME REMODELING. I immediately called and spoke with Sapeer, the owner. I found him easy to talk to, he listened well and he understood the urgency of the project. He said he was going to call back and he did. I truly appreciated that. My husband and I met with him shortly after the phone call. Very nice young man, presentable and respectful. We showed him all the areas that needed to be fixed inside the house and he took note of it. Not once did he push us to have the house foundation or the fence done because he understood that right now we just want the house to be move-in ready. We will have the major stuff done when our budget permits. Sapeer got back to us quickly with the proposal. I must say, we've never had any kind of construction work done so we don't know if the price for this specific project is fair but our instincts told us to just go with Sapeer. So we did. We met with Sapeer March 6 and work was started on March 8th. I met with his lead Luis and I went over the areas with him. Gave him the key to the empty house and the next day Luis and his crew started working on the house. They completed the project by March 10th. They don't mess around, they work super fast! Luis did a walk-through with my husband to make sure he approved everything before Luis and his team left. My husband was very satisfied and happy with the outcome. I checked their work with my husband after and I was so impressed, too! It was no rush job, they did a good job fast and they did it well. It is important to note that there were two-three items on the proposal that my husband and I ended up holding off. I spoke with Sapeer and we all three decided to keep it in our account as a credit, that's how much we trust him now. We're actually going to be calling him soon to finish those items we had him hold off. Would we recommend Sapeer? Wholeheartedly!!!! He made our first construction experience a positive one. He is so easy to work with, he does not push or upsell. I added pictures of the hardwood floors of a couple of rooms his crew re-polished. They did a magnificent job! We didn't have them do any interior painting, our family decided to make it a family affair which we did every Sunday after church. Great way to spend time together. read more

I had a great initial conversation with Sapeer directly, and meeting him for our home consult was no different. It was a really tough decision as I had three other contractors that I was talking to, and though we decided not to move forward with Sapeer and his team, we did thoroughly appreciate his promptness in responding to our questions. read more

I hired Sapeer and his crew for a partial bathroom remodel on both of my bathrooms. They repaired old leaky plumbing, replaced old damaged vanities/sinks and damaged tiles, and refinished and repainted the walls. The crew were courteous and always on time. They worked diligently and cleaned up all debris each day. I was very pleased with their work. read more

Sapeer is a pleasure to work with! Even though we did not end up hiring him, he is very personable and well spoken. He is very knowledgeable in his craft and I would definitely consider hiring him for future projects! read more

Sapeer & his team remodeled a good portion of my home (new floors, new kitchen, and interior paint) -- crew paid attention to detail and Sapeer's management skills helped get the job done within the time frame and budget. Highly recommend , great team and Sapeer is a pleasure to work with! read more

Five stars for Empire Home Remodeling! They just finished our bathroom remodel and the results are stunning--we couldn't be happier. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the team was professional and transparent about costs. The quality of the tile work, plumbing, and glass shower door installation is outstanding. It's rare to find a contractor that hits every deadline, but Empire did. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a stress-free renovation! read more

Great experience working with Sapeer, good communicator and transparent on progress, payment schedule, etc. Most importantly, beautiful results :) read more

Empire did a great bathroom remodel for one of our rental units. Smooth process the whole way through. There was one small hiccup involving tile/grout color but working with Sapeer, we were able to find a solution. Recommended! read more

My wife and I bought a house that needed some work (especially our kitchen), and we're so glad we found Sapeer (we actually found him through a referral from another contractor). Overall, he and his team did a fantastic job. Everything came out as envisioned. Sapeer kept us updated on the progress and was able to work within our time frame and budget. Definitely going to use him and his team for future projects. Highly recommend! read more

The Empire Remodeling team did a beautiful job on our bathroom remodel. All items were expertly installed and the outcome completely lived up to our hopes read more

Sapeer and his crew are incredible! We interviewed a few different contractors, but ended up feeling most comfortable and moving forward with Empire. We contracted them to remodel both our bathrooms and flooring through our house. Sapeer and his foreman, Luis, kept my wife and I in the loop everyday with what to expect, helped us source out material, and stuck to the timeline we agreed upon. Their pricing was fair and didn't change as the job progressed. Undergoing constriction is always stressful, but with Empire everything was a breeze. I highly recommend Sapeer and his team, and would definitely work with them again!! read more

We have contracted Sapeer and his team to remodel our bathroom, stairs and the floor of living room after interviewing several other teams. We are very happy about our decision! We have a lot of requests and Sapeer handles them well. And the final result is what we want, or better. Thanks again for his team's professionalism and quality of work! read more

I hired Empire to remodel 2 bathrooms & redo my roof on my new house. Sapeer, the owner, came by to look at the space and went over some design ideas. We made sure to stay within budget and he got the job done within the time frame he promised us. His foreman, Orlando, managed the job with Sapeer and they are both master communicators. I always felt confident in the work going on and the entire process felt taken care of by the crew. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a stress free experience!! read more

I called empire remolding on Tuesday and set an appointment for Saturday I called to confirm the appointment. He never responded and did not show up for our appointment. Very disappointed read more

Sapeer is great - helped run a big remodel with me. Very communicative and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!

Sapeer and his team completed a rebuild / renovation for us after a major water leak in our tri-level townhouse. The damage was extensive across two floors. They were expedient and affordable. They did a great job with the work, and handling my questions and involvement in the selection of materials. This is the largest home project I've had to complete to date, but I quickly came to trust Empire with handling the details. It's hard to find good contractors in LA - look no further. 100% recommend. read more

Do I recommend remodeling your kitchen, bathroom and laundry during a pandemic? No. Am I glad that I did it, yes. Am I glad that I used Empire home remodeling, very much so. I'm a first time home owner and this was a very big investment for me. I'm an art director for television so I know my way around design and construction. Which I'm sure is a mixed bag of good and bad when dealing with real world design and install. Sapeer and his team were very open and very easy going. It was a much longer process due to the supply chain being so out of whack and me choosing to use bespoke materials. The team adjusted to my extended timeline without ever making me feel bad that I was holding things up insisting on artist made tiles , etc. They were all very respectful of my home and were very clean in their work. I was trying to instal a kitchen and bathroom with a craftsman feel but with modern amenities which was a challenge for all of us. Every crafts person that came to work on the house was a professional in their field and all of the finishing details turned out really beautifully. Special shout out to Lewis and Diego! My incredible tile laying artisans. There was a lot of maneuvering and specialty tile in this process and they did an incredible job while trouble shooting and coming up with solutions for how to lay tile in challenging spaces. So thank you for coming to my home and transforming my kitchen and bathroom into spaces that I actually want to spend time in. read more

Got my kitchen remodeled by Empire Home, Sapeer & Nelson took care of everything from the first meeting until the end of the project. Sapeer brought over samples of material & created a 3D design to help me envision how everything will come out, which really helped with choosing the right pieces that will go well with one another (designing is much harder than I thought!!). The real game changer with Sapeer was his communication skills, I never felt in the dark, he always updated me what was going on, and any issue that came up was accompanied with a solution, which I really appreciated. Huge 5 stars for Empire! read more

After years of talking about it, we finally jumped the gun on remodeling our condo. After interviewing multiple companies, we found Sapeer from Empire to be the most personable. It also helped that their price was in between our cheapest & most expensive quote. Once we got started, Sapeer helped us purchase and choose material, deal with inspections from the city, and took the entire project upon himself, allowing us to not be bothered by the details besides some design questions. It was a care free process that I wouldn't mind doing over and over again, with the same outcome. We love our new condo and extend our gratitude to Sapeer and his crew for making our dream a reality! read more

I cannot recommend Empire Home Remodeling enough. After a really terrible bathroom renovation experience a few years ago, I had been hesitant to go through it again. I found Empire via a recommendation on Next Door. Sapeer returned my call the same day and came over for a consultation the following day. I met with several contractors but there was something about Sapeer that I really liked - he is kind, honest, detail-oriented and really on top of it. There were no shortage of surprises during the renovation (the wrong tile was ordered, missing hardware, the wrong size medicine cabinet etc) but Sapeer and his team handled it with such ease and professionalism. Important to note that I had a direct line to him and the foreman throughout this project which was really helpful when last minute things came up. I can't remember ever waiting more than 5 minutes to hear back via text or phone call - customer services is clearly the number one priority. The same group of guys worked at my house the entire time, wore masks, cleaned up after themselves and they were very sweet and tolerant of my curious puppy who was always getting into things. (hot tip: everyone should have a contractor who adores dogs!). I went out of town twice during the process and trusted the entire team in my home without hesitation. The job was done on time and on budget and I LOVE my bathroom. I loved the process and I loved working with Sapeer from beginning to end. If you are looking for a low stress, easy renovation experience, call Sapeer at Empire. You will not regret it. read more

They did some great work for us! I have worked with a lot of contractors in my day and I can confidently say these guys are some of the best I have ever worked with. They showed up on time and there was no nonsense with their craftsmanship. I was able to trust them which I cannot say is always the case with this industry. read more

Having contract work done is never easy, the disruption alone can cause major anxiety. We interviewed several contractors and settled on Sapeer, not because he was the cheapest but because we felt he understood our goals and he wanted us to be happy, so we took the plunge. Sapeer is a great communicator, I mean he responds and quickly and that is very, very important so top marks there. Schedule: Although I pushed him very hard on a completion date Sapeer always maintained 4-6 weeks. The job was completed in 6 weeks. Would I have loved it in 4 weeks? Of course I would but Sapeer never once misled or over promised. Some holidays got in the way but 6 weeks later our Kitchen was complete so top marks there. Quality of work: Sapeer employs quite a few workers 98% of the workers that came to the house were polite, great workers and produced quality work. I did have an issue with one worker but I cant blame Sapeer for that. In fact, when I pointed the issue out to Sapeer he made sure that he took care of it, he came to the house with the worker and fixed the issue so top marks again. Customer satisfaction: We love our new kitchen. It has transformed our home. I love to cook and our new kitchen makes cooking a joy. Recommendation: We would recommend Sapeer to anyone anytime he really was a joy to work with and we would absolutely use him again. read more

After meeting with multiple contractors, I am SO happy that I chose Sapeer with Empire Home Remodeling to remodel my kitchen. Sapeer is so passionate about his work and it made our experience truly feel like a breeze. This was my first time remodeling my home and Sapeer was extremely patient when explaining the process, honest, reliable, and remained consistent with his plan. He made my dream kitchen become a reality and the process enjoyable. I also receive so many compliments on my kitchen! I HIGHLY recommend Empire Home Remodeling if you want an easy experience with an honest contractor who does absolutely amazing work! read more

I had a bathroom that had been gutted. I needed someone to put it back together. I am a single older woman, and let's be honest dealing with contractors can be stressful. After speaking to several. I went with Sapeer. He called back immediately and came by same-day, explained and answered all questions very professional. The job was completed within the timeframe and price was fair. Thank you Sapeer and empire home remodeling.Highly recommend. read more

Sapeer and his team are great to work with! They come on time, are very respectful (considering we stayed in the house throughout the remodel), and the final product looks amazing!!! Sapeer was very communicative throughout the entire process, he always let us know if & when the crew was arriving , what was going on that day, and made sure to get the job done on time. We are very happy with our decision to go with Empire, and would use them again in a heart beat! read more

At the very beginning of this process I was interviewing contractors like crazy and literally went through 10 people that told me the scope of work was incredibly difficult and astronomically expensive which left me in a state of near depression. We were living in a tiny 1 bedroom 1 bathroom that was ill conceived in its layout and 2 toddlers that were rapidly outgrowing the sink we'd been forced to bathe them in since our bathroom only had a tight 1 person shower made for an elf. When Sapeer came through for our interview he was so nice and easy going with an anything is possible and not only is it possible but easy attitude. I literally cried with relief because I'd begun to believe that our project was never going to happen. We signed with him and I'm so happy that we did. He's turned what was once a shack into a stunning home. I wish I had proper before photos so that you could see just how impressive the after photos are! read more

Nice work and super friendly and helpful always!!! Sapeer handled the bathroom- shower remodel in my house.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I couldn't be happier with my new bathroom & the overall experience with Empire! I called to book an appointment and Sapeer came by the next day to check out what needed to be done. He answered all our questions and gave us many design ideas, which is what ultimately led us to go with him. Sapeer & his crew took care of the whole process for us, met with inspectors, picked up materials from our vendors, and really made sure to cater to us every step of the way. The workers are all very sweet and are extremely skilled, I'm still in shock from this transformation! I would use them again in a heart beat! read more

The work was fine. They hire subcontractors and laborers. Make sure to you have them bring their own portable restroom services.

I got my master bathroom remodeled in August. Even in the midst of a pandemic, Sapeer & his crew stayed on schedule and provided top notch service. The workers respected boundaries and wore masks & the bathroom looks incredible! Their main focus is customer service, and it shows! Sapeer's crew is very detail oriented & confirmed every part of the job prior to moving forward to ensure my wife and I got what we were expecting. Sapeer worked with our budget & we couldn't be happier with how everything came out, we highly highly highly recommend the whole Empire crew! read more

I want to recommend Empire Home Remodeling . I'm not new to remodeling. I have had my bathroom & kitchen remodeled by 2 other companies & were not completely satisfied. My neighbor referred me to Sapeer . I wanted to do a garage conversion on a budget. He came over gave me some great ideas . He did a 3D design & had some plans done for me. He did everything he promised so I hired him to do the job. I am more than satisfied . Sapeer & his crew cleaned up after each day & wore a mask. I can now move my mother into a beautiful home. Amazing job. read more

This company was referred to me by my daughter. I was hesitant at first because the guy in charge, Sapeer Azulay, was so young and I thought, hmmm, inexperience. I had to talk to him to see what he knew and decided to hire him. My bathrooms look awesome! The guys who worked on them were very polite, trustworthy, professional and cleaned up whenever they got done with the work. Their foreman, Tal, is very organized and would tell me who, when and what time the workers would come. If you want your house to look nice, these are the guys who'll make it happen for you. read more

From start to finish, this process was conducted in a clean, organized, professional, and honest manner!

Project included: new kitchen cabinets and countertops, new flooring, upgrade of electric and plumbing, backsplash tile work, and installation of all finished products.

I hired Empire Home Remodeling to fix leaks in the shower room. They reinstalled shower pan and retiled the bottom of the shower room. Sapeer was always quick to respond to my text and explain everything throughout the process. Workers were diligent, polite, and caring. They cleaned the site each day before they left for home. It was one of the best I have hired so far. read more

Just in time for rainy season (if that even exists in LA lol), we called Sapeer to redo our entire roof. He showed us the different options and walked us through the whole process, step by step. They finished the job earlier than expected and dealt with the headache that is LADBS, but luckily for us, Sapeer's crew is super professional so the inspector passed us right away which helped speed up the process. The crew is really friendly and professional, they came on time every morning & did very clean work. We couldn't have asked for a more efficient job, very grateful for the whole Empire c read more
