Ari is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend him as an architect for your next build!

Ari was great, a rare breath of fresh air in construction. Good communication, reasonable prices, and great openness to changing things even when it wasn't in their advantage. would recommend! read more

We have worked with ESV on roughly 10 homes in the LA area, ever since 2014. I am an architect and recommend them for nearly every project we are a part of. The reason why we recommend them is because ESV understands how to build, manage jobsites, communicate clearly (and be proactive), and how design can be valued for a project. They understand balance. I highly recommend Ari and his team, and consider him a fundamental core to our projects' successes. read more

ESV did a fantastic job renovating our garage into an ADU. We did our research, got several quotes from contractors, and Ari ended up being the most responsive and professional. Plus, his quote was comprehensive and competitive. A few things I really appreciated: (1) Ari was in contact throughout the process. He kept everything on schedule. Even with some unforeseeable issues that needed to be addressed mid-project, the work was still completed on-time. He was able to provide recommendations (e.g., fixtures, appliances, tiles) when we asked for them, and he made helpful suggestions for additional improvements without being pushy. (2) His crew was great. Roberto and company knew their stuff. From framing to plumbing, electrical to cabinet & fixture installation (we had a lot of work done!), they did a top-notch job. And they were very friendly to have around. Ultimately, construction projects (even 250 sq ft ADUs) take a lot of time and investment, so it's important to have a team that you can trust to do quality work. And that's what we got with ESV. I'm glad we went with them, and I love our beautiful new space. read more

Our search for a contractor to construct an ADU from the ground up started with us obtaining no fewer than six estimates. We knew Ari was our guy as soon as we met him, and his estimate was the most detailed and comprehensive. This was the biggest project we had ever taken on and we had a lot of questions along the way. Ari helped us through the process like a champ from beginning to end and was truly a pleasure to work with. His foreman Roberto and his entire team were awesome! Always on time, professional, and took pride in their workmanship. The most important thing to me in doing business with anyone is customer service and satisfaction. Ari is honest and seems to really care about his customers' satisfaction, which is something that's hard to come by these days. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of the ADU and are already working with him on another smaller project. read more

I'm now in my 3rd home that i've had Ari and ESV do work on and continue to be happy and willing to recommend him. Ari's team does quality work at fair prices with great turnaround time. It's a relief to know that I've got a general contractor that I can reach out to with any project and have all the resources for plumbing, electric, roofing, cabinets, carpentry etc in one spot. read more

We converted our garage into an ADU and Ari and his team made it easy and got it all done well and in good time. It was a nearly 100 year old structure so there was a lot that needed fixing, and they had no problem with any of it. Communication was easy, I always felt like I understood what was happening and where we were in the process. Roberto and his crew were nice to have around and did excellent work. I'll definitely call them if I need more work done in the future. read more

May 2023 To whom it may concern, This is a recommendation for our contractor Ari Sherf. Recently my wife and I decided to build a new home in Glassell Park. We had inherited the property that had a deserted 1-bedroom home in shambles. We first spoke to an architect and had him start working on the plans. The architect recommended a contractor he knew, Ari Sherf. We asked three contractors for quotes on the property. Ari's quote was almost $100,000 less that the other two contractors. The first project was to remove the old house and replace utilities, then came the grading. Geologists had to be hired to prove the hill was stable. Ari took care of it all. My wife and met with Ari weekly, often daily, he took his time to make sure he knew what we were looking for. Throughout the project he constantly asked questions we would have never thought of. What type of handrail do you want, what do you want in the driveway, pavers, or concrete. At every turn we were on the same page as Ari. We had issues with the old gas line, he took care of it without asking, at no charge. Working with the city of Los Angels was a real chore but he handled it without a flaw. All we smoothly. At one time he was unhappy with one of the kitchen cabinets. He had the carpenter replace it. He was the one person who oversaw the entire project daily. Because my wife is going to use part of the house for her business special attention and some changes in the plans were necessary. Ari was able to make alterations at little or no cost to us. Because the property was on a hill, a ground survey had to be performed by qualified people, and he knew all the best in the business. Whether it was grading for the city inspector or landscaping Ari was up to the task. But best of all was the wonderful finish work he did. We changed our minds on colors twice and he repainted what we wanted. The moldings and wood beams came out beyond our wildest imagination. He ordered the best quality materials and now just look at the house, fantastic. Everyone who comes to visit the new house is mesmerized by how beautiful the house came out. We highly recommend Ari with no hesitation he is highly qualified for any construction project, and I am free to talk with anyone who is in the process of remodeling or building on your property. Happy to chat, Harley Haas 323 401 2043 read more

Ari and his team helped my wife and I build an A.D.U. (accessory dwelling unit) this past year. The process took lots of planning and logistics. Which including demolishing a garage and building a brand new two story living space. In the end Ari ensured that every aspect of our needs were met including follow through on specific design and implementation of the plans. We are happy with the end result and can now say that we are the first on our block to have a brand new A.D.U built by ESV Prime Construction. We highly recommend Ari and his team for your one stop design and re-modeling needs. Thank you Ari. Have a great holiday season. Charles & Michelle read more

When I first met Ari, I told him I was looking for a contractor that I still liked at the end of the job. He did not disappoint! He was always responsive during the job and his team was top notch. So much so that I even went out of town during the project and had no problems or concerns. Our first project with Ari and his team was the remodeling of two bathrooms. We are thrilled with the results! We are onto planning our next project now and are definitely considering using them again. As someone who has worked with many different companies in the past, I can easily, and with confidence, recommend ESV Prime Construction for any of your home projects. They are fair, attentive, always considerate and do excellent work- everything you hope for in a construction company! read more

My experience with ESV Prime was great from the beginning to the end of the project. If it wasn't for Ari nothing would have not been possible.

I am loving my new counters , cabinets floors and lighting I can't forget to mention the new bathtub which is so convenient and I've been using it every single day I know now how I ever lived without a bathtub they did very great work and I'm highly impressed read more

ESV was great to work with. We had to remodel one of our bathrooms and the process was always a good experience unlike with other contractors we had contacted previous to them. Ari always took care of us, their workers were very professional and did a great job. To me communication is one of the most important parts of business and collaboration and they were always great about that which allowed for everything to end up looking great. Definitely hire them, they are worth working with! read more

Have you ever noticed that contractors are basically insane? Well, I managed to find one that's not! After 6 months of remodeling basically our entire house and adding an addition, we finished our relationship with ESV Prime Construction as - get this - friends! His crew is really great. The forman is top notch and the workers showed up every single day at the what seemed like the crack of dawn. They smiled and sang all day long and were really kinda pleasant to have around. (I mean as pleasant as it can be to have a bunch of strange guys in your house all day.) We spent a fortune, way more than expected, but hey - I guess that's the way it always goes, so it's par for the course. The bottom line is that we love our groovy new home! I highly recommend ESV Prime Construction if you're looking for someone to do some work on your house! read more

Erick with ESV Prime Construction was such a pleasure to work with on our gut/remodel in Burbank, CA Erick and his team were always responsive and very professional.

Eric just completed a beautiful remodel on our rental property in Burbank. Having worked with other contractors in the past, I can say he is the easiest to work with. He doesn't try and take short cuts and can make the house look expensive on a reasonable budget. His guys were on the job every day until it was complete. Aside from options we chose, his budgets stayed exactly to the bid. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you Eric! read more

Hi everyone! Esv's team did a such spectacular job on my remodel. They transformed my old kitchen into a beautiful, modern one. They put in new cabinets, counters, backsplash, flooring, lighting, windows, etc. Ari had some very helpful insight on the design aspect which was great because it made my kitchen look 10x better. I'm very happy I hired them because they arrived on time, worked hard, and left me with a beautiful kitchen. read more

We purchased a house that was 50 years old, had one owner and had not been remodeled once. We had a vision and needed a construction company that would interpret our vision. The scope of the project included a total remodel of every room in the house which would result in an open-concept, modern update to the home. We met with Ari from Prime Construction and knew they would be a good fit based on the projects we saw on their web site. Ari worked with us to revise the scope of the remodel to get it within our budget. Through this process Ari impressed us with his experience and expertise. Through-out the construction period, Ari and his crew were very professional. Ari was onsite regularly and kept us abreast every step of the way. Today we have a bright, airy, open-concept home. We love the final result and have received rave reviews from friends and family. We highly recommend Prime Construction and will use them for any future projects we have. read more

Working with Ari and his team was a super pleasant experience. They are super professional and delivery work both in time and high quality.

Both my wife and I are extremely happy with it and have recommended Ari to all my friends who are thinking about remodeling. I would more than happy to work with him in the future. read more

I wish I could give them beyond 5 stars for my guest house project. I always have family over from overseas but have no space for them to stay in my own house so I end up booking them airbnb or hotels to stay in while visiting. I have always dreamed of having a guest house but I just thought it would be a hassle... at least until I spoke with Ari. He was so reassuring and I am so glad I hired him and his team. It was a tough job but they tackled it and seriously worked so hard. I'm so fortunate to have came across Ari because the new guest house is just phenomenal! read more

Eric at ESV Prime Construction finished an addition over 800sq.ft. for my friend two years ago. We went over during the construction, and liked their job. Shortly after they were done with my friend, we worked with Eric on my 500sq.ft. addition. The project went through smoothly. Eric is very professional, knowledgeable, responsive and always keeps his promise. His crews are dedicated and professional as well. They showed up on time every day and 5-6 days a week throughout the entire project. It's unbelievable that my addition was completely done within 3 months. Whenever someone needs a contractor, ESV Prime Construction is the first one pops up in my mind. I highly recommend them. read more

I highly recommend ESV Prime Construction. I originally hired them to help me draft plans to help legalize multiple LADBS code violations involving a second bedroom and carport roof that were built without any permits. They handled everything with Building and Safety and soon I had approved plans. After this I hired them again to do some construction work on my carport roof and bedroom to resolve the issues the inspector had. They installed a new larger window in the bedroom to meet code, and reroofed the carport. Both jobs were done to a very high standard. I'm very happy with the quality of work and the professionalism and will recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor. read more

Ari and Roberto et al made our bathroom remodel a very pleasant experience. They were respectful and accommodating to our needs and budget. The workmanship turned out beautiful. If anyone was to ask for a construction recommendation we would definitely direct them to Ari and his team. All are top notch in their trades. Jan G. read more

Eric and his crew really took great care of us. We added an on-suite master bath and walk in closet. They also remodeled an existing bath, bedroom and back patio. They were on time and on budget. I highly recommend them, and we plan of using them again soon for some work in a home we just bought. read more

I've been using ESV for pretty much everything. Having owned & rehabbed several properties over the years, I've had to deal with many different contractors. I can say with confidence that ESV is exceptional. Eric & his staff always deliver more than you expect, and the quality of their work has never disappointed me. Any issues I've had were immediately addressed, and are always taken seriously. You wont find anyone who can provide a higher level of quality, consistency, and professionalism than ESV. read more

I have to say after working with ESV and Eric my fears of construction have dissapeared!!! From the very beginning of construction to the finishing touches they were extremely professional and understanding of my needs. Roberto, their onsite contractor was extremely helpful and sweet and so professional. His team were ALWAYS on time and they stuck to the schedule. I will totally recommend ESV to anyone out there including all my friends and family... and any upcoming projects I may have. Thanks Eric for all your hard work, I LOVE MY HOME!!! Daniella Levy. read more

My brother and I have been using ESV on our projects for the last 5 years. He has done everything from shear wall installation to a complete re-frame and remodel of a 500 sqft unit. His prices are fair, he backs his work 100% and he's knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He understands budgets and tries to work with you to keep you under, while only offering upgrades if they make financial sense. I am currently having 8 windows and 2 sliders installed by his team and have no hesitation or concerns that it won't turn out perfectly. read more

Ari was friendly as well as extremely thorough and helpful in his consultation of our water drainage issue. He offered a great solution at a fair price and completed the job ahead of schedule and on budget. How often can you say that about a contractor? read more

Great company that has the most incredible response time. They are professional, proficient and knowledgeable!

Eric and his team just got done remodeling my home in Burbank. Not being from LA and having no recommendations on contractors to use in the area, I depended on yelp. I interviewed three different contractors and Eric was the first and ONLY one to write me a bid. We weren't able to be around during construction, but luckily we found Eric to be completely trust worthy. His team worked hard 5 days a week and they got our job done within our time frame. He always answered the phone and really wanted to make sure we were pleased with everything. Thank you Eric!!! read more

The work this company does is fantastic! They are very professional, organized, and the craftsmanship was better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend this company for high-end remodeling projects. The owner of the company came out to our home and spend a lot of time with us detailing the work they were going to do, what was involved and the timeline. And they stuck to the timeline which was our biggest concern. The price was less than what we thought it would be and came out better than we thought possible. This company delivers what it promises. read more

Working with Ari and his team has been a pleasure . Ari was very professional worked within a budget and got the job done in time. He may have not come with the lowest bid but came highly recommended and surely proved himself. We decided to start with a bathroom remodel and ended up passing off the entire house over Ari to design and remodel. I now highly recommend Ari Sherf and his entire team. read more

We needed to remodel completely my daughter's home in a short time. Ari promised to finish by the time we asked him to. Not only he finished on time, he was very attentive to our request, he sent his crew also on the weekend just to make sure he will be done on time. His job is superb, he is very easy to work with, I highly recommend him, and will take him on future projects. read more

We contracted with Ari at ESV Prime Construction for a complete gut and renovation on our condo. After having gone through a couple of false starts with other General Contractors, it was refreshing to find him. Not only did he do a fantastic job for us, but he was responsive, always available, and helped us with both design advice as well as procuring good pricing. His attention to detail almost rivaled mine in assuring that everything was done properly, to code, and looked great. He was able to work seamlessly with some of our other contractors whom we wanted to use for specialty work. The result was superb. He gets our highest recommendation and we will use him again. read more

Our project was a big Mid-Century Modern fixer-upper in Mt. Washington that needed a full remodel, Eric and his team took on the challenge and succesfully brought it back to it's full glory. They are honest, knowledgeable & experienced. We highly recommend them read more

I called ESV after finding them on yelp to get an estimate for the renovations on a home we are looking to purchase. It was a very very last minute job so they couldn't make it to the property but Ari went through all the photos of the home on the phone with me and spent a long time explaining what the potential cost might be for what we were looking to do. He took almost an hour and there was no cost. I would say that he went above and beyond what would be expected after a simple phone inquiry. I will definitely be calling them if we go forward with this home or any renovations we may do in the future. read more

Alright listen folks, all my friends told me to get atleast three bids on having my entire house redone...I am a bit more extreme and got five, just to get a few more ideas and angles I could potentially go with on my first home. Of all the contractors I met with, Eric Sherf at ESV topped them all. From his professional approach and appearance to his vast knowledge and expertise. He submitted the most comprehensive and detailed estimate and a list of creative ideas he would throw in to the design, as if he was designing his own home. Absolute pleasure to work with, I highly recommend! read more

For years I've procrastinated adding a room addition and the only thing keeping me from actually doing the project was finding a contractor that I felt comfortable with. After meeting with 6 contractors I finally met with Eric of ESV prime construction. He initially gave me a detailed sketch that was right along the lines of what I asked for and was very professional from the start. Right from the beginning I was very pleased with his work ethic. We ended up at a figure that was not the cheapest, but no where near the highest estimate for my project from about 6 other contractors. Once we agreed on the plans, he submitted them to the city in which they were approved with no problem. We had a projected time of completion but to my surprise the work was done well before that estimated time which made not only me but my wife very happy. Eric was always there on the site answering any questions I had in a professional manner that made sense to me. Needless to say the end result was a beautifiul 800sqft Room addition/Masterbedroom addition w/ 2 bathrooms. This has greatly increased the value of my home and I highly recommend ESV for any project you are considering. These guys are truly great at what they do and that's making dreams come true!! read more
