-Lack of On-Site Supervision The contract stated:…read more"Contractor shall have competent supervisory personnel on site at all times while Work is being performed." This requirement has not been met. The lack of supervision has led to repeated errors, incomplete work, and workers having to return multiple times. Robert himself admitted he was unaware of certain deficiencies, which is unacceptable. -Safety Violations The contract states: "Contractor is responsible for job-site safety." On two separate occasions, workers placed a ladder into the back of a truck because their ladder was not tall enough. Robert was informed after the first incident and stated that he would follow all safety protocols. Notably, this occurred even after Robert assured the Board that work would be performed in compliance. -Noncompliance with Permitted Work Hours The contract specifies: "Hours and days of work shall conform ... from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m." Workers were on my balcony as late as 8:00 p.m. one evening and 6:30 p.m. on another. -Failure to Provide Required Resident Notice The contract requires 48 hours' notice with details of the scope, timing, and expected disruptions. This requirement has not been met. Communication has been minimal to nonexistent. I, and other residents, were not informed when workers would be on our balconies.

We have a kitchen island that is designed for a downdraft range -- and we needed a new stove - but it required a lot of technical / tricky work to make it happen. Greg changed the existing housing to fit the new stove, made precise cuts to our beautiful granite island so the new stove could fit the space seamlessly (without causing any damage to the granite), and was meticulous about every aspect of the job. Greg also was completely proactive and gave our job his full attention -- unfortunately I've had bad experiences with contractors where you have to stay on them, follow up, make sure they reach out to the people they need to connect with (like suppliers, etc). With Greg once we laid out what we wanted he took over everything - always keeping us in the loop, but never taking up our time unnecessarily - so we could focus on our jobs and busy days. Greg was also flexible with his availability and changed his schedule to accommodate the optimal time for us to get this work done. Truly can't say enough great things about Greg and GoulenCo -- you'll be in great hands if you choose to hire him

Avoid these guys at all costs…read more From work they did a few years ago we have found major problems. Here's some examples from an extension on the house: 1) Designs and blue print specifications were not met, there are spots where walls didn't meet although specified. 2) Nyr tried to stick us with a small garage door, claiming why would we want to be able to fit two cars through at the same time (obviously how are we supposed to even get 2 cars in if the door isn't wide enough?) 3) They started sticking up drywall even when we explicitly told them not to, plenty of places were leaking pipewise and roofwise, but they insisted on sticking up drywall to cover up. 4) Do you want to argue and be pulling you hair out for a job that was supposed to be done in a short time? A job that was about 3 months went on for nearly 9. 5) Nyr constantly is digging in your pocket, pretending like you're some developer that he can shake down for cash. There's always some kind of work that are "unforseen circumstances." 6) They'll use the cheapest cost cutting methods to skimp on materials. 7) From the garage, the chain drive didn't work from day 1. Even when complained to about it, he just shrugged and didn't care. 8) Things like drains in sinks did not work from the time they were installed, again he neglected to care. I could keep listing off stuff, but I think this is enough for people to get a good grasp of what's going on with this company. Don't be fooled by a silver tongue and some lower priced quote. You'll pay way more for these guys than anyone else.

This is a first for me; I never write bad reviews. But in this case I feel a need to share my…read moreexperience with prospective clients, and also let United Builders know what they need to significantly improve their business. What sold us on going with United Builders: - Mike was excellent in creating a sharp 3D rendering of our design, as well as providing good design ideas and information on what would work, and not work well, with what we wanted to do. - They offered a great 'one stop shopping' arrangement where you go to their L A showroom and choose all your tile, countertop, flooring, trim, vanity, virtually everything. Super easy! We went there and chose everything including vanity color, type and style, mirror frame material, marble countertop, shower trim and backsplash trim for tub and vanity. - The price was very competitive and they included the vanity and tile for free with a promotion they were having. They stayed within their budget throughout as well. - They promised daily status reports and on time project completion (19 days or basically three weeks). We allowed four weeks ourselves, just knowing how remodel projects can run into delays for various reasons. What actually happened: - We started on March 12 and finished June 2! - They ran out of tile and were delayed over a week to get more. - They forgot or lost the vanity style and color we ordered and we had to choose again via phone photos, unless we wanted to go to LA again. - We provided the mirror (which was in a very expensive frame, for the vanity, which they were going to build a frame for). We thought they would return our frame to us but they thought otherwise and advised we should have been more specific in saying we wanted the frame back and now it was gone. No information as to where it went, just that we were not getting it back. We let it slide. - We rearranged our schedules to be home for their workers and on a few occasions they did not come when they promised and one occasion was 'No Show-No Call'. When we called them to find out what was happening, there were often no return calls, or returned calls a day or two later. There were certainly no daily status updates and in fact we were in the dark several times during the project not knowing what was going on, why there were delays, why workers weren't here. - The first countertop delivered did not fit as they had the wrong measurements. Another delay. The second countertop which they installed, was the wrong color and did not match what we had chosen. They ripped it out and then couldn't find the right marble for over a week. Finally, they said we had to go back to LA and choose again, which we did. Another long delay. Of course, the marble we had chosen in the first place, was right there all along so it was never clear as to what the delay was about, and why we had to go to LA a second time. - After more delays to get the vanity, when it was finally delivered, it was not as we had ordered ( wrong number of drawers, no pull out draw as ordered, and a chip in the top). More delays to take it back and fix. This actually took three visits to repair. - The mirror frame was also delivered damaged, more fixing, more delays. We were frustrated beyond belief and thought we would never see the end. Bottom line: - To their credit Nir (Neal), the project manager agreed to fix, replace or repair everything that went wrong. - The quality of the work and materials is very good, the bathroom is beautiful and we love it. What they need to fix: 1. Lack of Attention to detail and follow through (the cause of all of their mistakes and delays, which could have been avoided). 2. Promptly fix mistakes! There will always be mistakes made, but dragging out remedies over weeks makes the client even more frustrated. 3. Improve communication: keep the client informed, show up when when you're supposed to, return calls, don't keep the client hanging for days and even weeks, to resolve problems that the company created. Would we hire United Builders again? No! We have completed many remodels over the years and sadly, this was the worst experience of all.

With these recent rains, our ceiling started to leak (which was the same reason why we had our roof changed by them years ago - in the same spot!) and we go on the roof and the roofing shingles/material is all lifted like it was not secured down.

We asked Dave to paint every room in a 2 bedroom, 1-1/2 bathroom condo. We chose different colors for each room. In some cases the colors would meet at the intersection between rooms.

We also wanted help to close up a wall opening between rooms and replace the stairway railing. Dave did a nice job floating the drywall patch, and the new railing looks great. Dave's Painting is a one man show, which means you'll need to allow more time in your schedule for larger jobs.

Out of the many contractors who visited my home alongside the City of Gardena director, Nathan immediately stood out. From the moment he walked through my door with his son, he and his son were cordial, respectful, and genuinely friendly. I remember this clearly because the other contractors were not nearly as welcoming or personable. Not only was Nathan the most affordable contractor, but he also delivered top-quality work with outstanding professionalism. Nathan, his son, and his employees demonstrated professionalism from the beginning of my project through its completion. He was also very accommodating with my schedule whenever I had personal matters to attend to, which I greatly appreciated. Another thing that impressed me was how considerate and organized his crew was throughout the project. The workers performed their duties with minimal noise, unlike previous contractors I had hired in the past, who were extremely loud and messy. Nathan ensured that his staff arrived on time every day, operations remained organized, and the work progressed smoothly and efficiently. My project lasted approximately two months and a few extra days, and throughout that time, the experience remained consistently positive. What stood out most was Nathan's integrity and work ethic. He was never afraid to get his hands dirty when necessary and always led by example. He is truly down-to-earth, honest, and committed to doing the job right. Most importantly, Nathan stands behind his work. Even after the project was completed, he remained available whenever I had a concern or needed minor follow-up work addressed. That level of dedication and accountability is rare to find today. I highly recommend Nathan and LRJ Construction to anyone looking for quality workmanship, professionalism, reliability, and integrity. It would be wonderful if there were more contractors like Nathan.
