From the moment I first sat down with Eyal Weizman of MDRN Construction, I knew he would be my…read morechosen contractor for my kitchen remodel. We seemed to speak the same aesthetic language and he quickly and enthusiastically whipped up a rendering of what my kitchen might look like. He was also very sensitive to and willing to do great work within my budgetary constraints. I immediately knew I would be in good hands. My kitchen remodel was for a very narrow space that had had a double electric oven and a big fancy gas range. The old cabinets, which were solid wood, had likely been there since the house was built in the 50s. An unfortunate water leak did major damage to the wood floor and seeped into the 2 layers of asbestos-laden linoleum underneath. Due to the need for asbestos remediation as required by my insurance (and the law), I was literally forced to see my entire kitchen torn out to the studs -- cabinets, appliances, floors and all. Enter MDRN Construction - after unsatisfactory experiences with the contractors my insurance had set me up with, I finally realized I must choose my own. In short, MDRN came in on-time and on-budget. Any out-of-line costs beyond the original estimate were due to major upgrades or amenities that I asked for on my own, with absolutely no arm-twisting from the contractor or his crew. For example, we were needing to upgrade the electrical in order to accommodate new all-electric and induction appliances, as well as replace the floor complete with framing and subflooring. I therefore also opted for raising the floor in the (sunken) kitchen annex to have it all be on the same level and to move the new commodious refrigerator in there. This upgrade also involved raising the exit door to the side yard and creating new concrete steps to the outside. Even with this extra work, MDRN still came in on time, though at the outer rather than the inner range of their estimated time frame (three months instead of two). I also have nothing but high marks to give the various crews that did the work, from demolition to electrical to cabinetry, to plumbing, dry wall construction, painting, and tile flooring. Everyone that came to my house, as Eyal promised, was a pleasure to be around and highly professional -- efficient and meticulous. The Ukrainian-born cabinet installation crew (in-house to MDRN), especially, were master carpenters and the finished product with solid wood exteriors is a showpiece. And absolutely everyone graciously pitched in when something extra was required, like hoisting my giant new refrigerator through the only possible square opening in the kitchen wall when the delivery guys couldn't possibly handle it themselves. Eyal came by frequently to check whether everything was going smoothly and what was still needed. And the most consistent presence was his assistant construction manager, Bardia, for whom no task or issue was too large or too small. He handled everything in a timely manner with ease and aplomb. If you're looking for excellent work, excellent client relations, honesty and efficiency, and a great aesthetic partner to work with, then MDRN is a terrific choice. The only advice I would give anyone who plans to live in their home while any pretty major construction is going on, is to stay on top of the daily dust-prevention and cleanup. As great as the workmen are, this is not always their topmost priority. The photos are of the "to the studs" space in the transition phase and my wonderful new kitchen.

After some tough negotiating in the beginning, Eyal delivered on our Bathroom remodel. We had a 4 week timeline and made it just a few days behind schedule which is pretty good for a construction project! Eyal spent time with us designing the project, sent us what we needed to choose from and showed us some really great tile and hardware options. All of the workers who came by were extremely nice and respectful and worked very hard to deliver our bathroom. With only a few minor hiccups which are totally expected on a remodel such as this one, we are super happy with the result and look forward to working on the next one with MDRN!

We chose the wood cabinets to give it a warm feeling since we love wood and it goes really well with the countertops and the floor tile. Thanks to Levy our kitchen feels brighter and more open now.

Things stayed pretty organized and they paid attention to small details, like the shelves and the way the stone wraps around the island We love spending time in the kitchen now. We have more space to move around and the island is perfect for cooking or just sitting around with friends. Really happy with how everything came out.

It's an incredibly rare thing in this industry to meet people who genuinely care and are invested in your best interests. Vlad, our project manager, and Guy, the company owner, gave us detailed SOWs (Statement of Works) from the onset that they stayed true to. They were consistently forthcoming about which costs would be out of pocket and what's covered in the SOW. They kept us within our budget and worked with us whenever any issue arose. For example, our HoA was particularly troublesome at points in this process, but Vlad and Guy handled the situation with such care and, again I cannot emphasize this enough, transparency. Something that was invaluable to us and saved us incredible headache. We originally started the process with only a kitchen remodel, and then after seeing how detailed and forthcoming they were about pricing and schedule, we added a bathroom remodel as well and chose to re-floor the entire unit. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Not only was the finished product truly gorgeous but they were wonderful and trustworthy people to work with -- something that's truly rare.

After the Eaton Fire, heavy winds and rain had blown away and damaged shingles on our roof. Water began leaking into one of our bedrooms and left water spots on the dining room ceiling. What could have been a nightmare repair project turned into a smooth and reassuring process thanks to the team at FHS Construction. From the start, the crew was thorough in their inspection and diagnosis. They quickly identified the source of the leak and checked for hidden damage in the roof and ceilings. To prevent more water from coming in, they put up a temporary cover right away until the full repair could begin. The roof repair itself was handled professionally from top to bottom. Damaged shingles and underlayment were removed and replaced, everything was thoroughly inspected and sealed tightly to prevent future problems. Inside the bedroom, they removed water-damaged drywall and insulation, treated and cleaned areas affected by moisture and mold, and ensured the space was completely dried out before restoring it. When the remediation was complete, they patched everything up with new drywall, fresh paint, trim work and new carpet so the room looked as good as new. The same attention was given to the dining area ceiling where water spots had formed. The crew was consistently punctual--showing up on time every morning--and respectful of our home. They cleaned up after themselves daily, and even arranged for a professional cleaner to come through once the project was finished, which was a thoughtful touch. A special shoutout goes to Javier, the project manager. He kept us informed at every stage, explained what was happening, and always had answers for our questions. He also went above and beyond by helping us communicate with our insurance provider, State Farm. His guidance made a big difference in getting a fair payout to cover the damages. On top of that, he made a kind personal gesture by surprising my wife with a birthday card and a bouquet of flowers during the project -- a thoughtful gesture that meant a lot. The work wrapped up in about two weeks, just in time for us to host a big family gathering. When we discovered the ceiling fan lights in the bedroom weren't working, we called Javier. He immediately sent someone out the next day to resolve it. That kind of quick follow-up shows their commitment doesn't stop the moment the job is declared finished. We are seriously happy with the results. The roof is secure, the bedroom looks brand new, and the whole experience was far less stressful than we expected given the circumstances. FHS Construction delivered quality work, clear communication, and outstanding professionalism from start to finish. If you're looking for a construction company that does solid, thorough work while treating your home with respect, FHS Construction is the team to call. We wouldn't hesitate to hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone in need of trustworthy and skilled contractors.

We interviewed a lot of contractors before choosing Neev Kugel of Oasis Builders, and looking back,…read moreit wasn't even close. He was the only one who gave us a real timeline and budget and then actually held to both -- no excuses, no creeping costs, no moving goalposts. Our timeline was tight and we had several builds going on simultaneously which led to a lot of parallel work requiring tight coordination on Neev's crew. Every time something went wrong, Neev was already working on a fix before we even had to ask. He talked to us like a partner, not a vendor -- texted and called back fast, explained things honestly, never let us feel like we were in the dark. Honestly, at some point he stopped feeling like "our contractor" and started feeling like family. He and his team showed up on their days off, unprompted, because they wanted to see us in our house sooner. I don't know many people who'd do that. Walking through our home now, some of our favorite features are things Neev's team built. Neev's wife, Mai, who has a background in interior design, worked closely with us on the finishing touches, and that collaboration is a big part of why the house feels the way it does.

The house had a very closed-off layout, and our goal was to open it up, improve the flow, and make it feel more connected and functional for everyday living. We met with a number of contractors before moving forward, but Neev and Mai stood out immediately. They brought a level of thoughtfulness, care, and attention to detail that we didn't see elsewhere. More importantly, they really listened. It never felt like we were being pushed into a one-size-fits-all solution. They took the time to understand what mattered to us and approached the project with a clear sense of intention. Throughout the process, communication was consistent and transparent, and we always felt like we were in good hands. They also handled important upgrades behind the scenes that gave us real peace of mind, not just the visual improvements. You can tell they care about doing things the right way. Of course, like any remodel, there were moments where unexpected things came up. What really set them apart was how they handled those situations. They were calm, responsive, and solution-oriented. That level of professionalism made a big difference for us. We're honestly thrilled with how everything turned out. The house feels completely transformed. It is now open, warm, and truly enjoyable to live in. It's even better than we had imagined, and my parents couldn't be happier. We're very grateful we chose Oasis Builders and would absolutely recommend Neev, Mai, and their team to anyone considering a remodel.
