We hired New Dawn Construction to renovate two rental apartments in a building that's over a…read morecentury old -- two kitchens, one bathroom, and a rotating cast of surprises that come standard with any pre-war LA structure. The project ran about six months. The short version: we'd hire them again. The longer version: Jacob, the design lead, is the reason we went with them. He has a genuine passion for old buildings and pushed to preserve original details that another contractor would have torn out without a second thought. That instinct matters when you're working on something irreplaceable. Ken managed the project more quietly but kept things moving. And when issues came up after the job was done -- after the final check had been cashed -- Jacob, Ken, and the owner Sage came back and made it right. That's not nothing. That's actually rare. Were there setbacks? Yes. If you've hired contractors in LA, especially on older properties, you know what you're signing up for. New Dawn isn't immune to that reality. They're not the cheapest option and not the most expensive either. But they're the kind of crew that stands behind their work, and in this city, that's worth writing a review about.

Design lead Kim was friendly, helpful, and his suggestions were always on point. The day to day Project Manager Jorge was amazing, truly a standout in his field. I honestly can't overstate how refreshing and helpful it was to work with Kim and Jorge. The work was completed faster than I expected without being rushed, and it honestly blew me away how the crew managed it all like clockwork. All construction projects are journey, and this one definitely came to a happy ending.

Art handled the entire project from securing permits, connecting us with an architect and executing the project with diligence and great results. Santos and Carlos were instrumental as well. Thank you for everything, Art! We hope to work with you in the future!

Can't say enough great things about Art and his group. From the very idea of redoing our bathroom,…read morewe were given thoughtfully considered insight into getting the best quality while also stretching our money as far as possible. Even though I know my wife and I were incredibly frustrating in how we changed some details mid-stream, everyone on the team was helpful, communicative, and always in great spirit to accomplish our dream bathroom. What more is there to say? There's too much money, too much unknown when you're renovating your house, and trust is the most valuable asset you can have in a contractor. Trust that they are working doggedly for you. Trust that the work is great. Trust you are getting way more than your money's worth. Well, we trust Art and Extreme Home Addition intrinsically. You should too.

Working with Eyal at MDRN was a great experience. We got to stop by their warehouse in Burbank and…read moresee the team in action. 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!

Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Our project manager Tamir was exceptional -- responsive, organized, and clearly invested in the quality of the work. He kept the job moving at a surprisingly fast pace and promptly resolved issues as they arose. Pricing was competitive -- we got multiple estimates and Way To Go came in reasonable without cutting corners. You can see it in the finish quality: the stonework is clean, the tile on the curved bench is precise, and the side yard pathway turned out better than we imagined. Our pool cleaner gave high praise on the resurfacing work when he arrived for the first cleaning! Highly recommend for anyone looking to transform their outdoor space -- quality work, fair pricing, and a timeline that'll surprise you.

The remodel included changing the old plaster to mini pebble, installing new tile, adding a new LED pool light, and doing the deco seal around the pool. The finish came out great and it completely refreshed the look of the pool. Once all the materials were ordered and ready, the actual work was completed in about a week, which I was really happy about. Tamir kept everything organized and the crew stayed on schedule. I also appreciated that he was able to accommodate a couple of last-minute additions I requested during the project and made sure everything was taken care of. The crew did solid work and the pool looks great now. I'm happy with how everything turned out and would recommend Way To Go Builders if you're planning a pool remodel.

When we do future renovations, Four Seasons Builders will definitely be the crew we hire again. Highly recommend.

Luckily, I came across Four Seasons Builders and had the pleasure of working with Roy throughout the entire renovation. Roy was professional, organized, and incredibly informative from start to finish. He was always available to answer questions, consistently showed up, and personally managed every stage of the project. Everyone worries about cost, but honestly -- you get what you pay for. The results speak for themselves: my new kitchen turned out miraculous and has become the centerpiece of my home that my family truly enjoys. Roy also updated my entry door and added recessed lighting in the dining room, which tied everything together beautifully. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and I'm already looking forward to having Four Seasons Builders remodel my three bathrooms in the future. Highly recommend

We originally hired Bill and Oakmont Builders to install new siding, new windows and new gutters on the exterior of our home. They are the consummate professionals, provided excellent communication and customer service, and high quality craftsmanship delivered on time and on budget. We were so incredibly impressed by the outstanding work on our siding project in summer 2023, we hired Oakmont again in the fall of 2024 to complete our driveway project which included demo of our old asphalt drive, installation of a new concrete driveway, new underground drainage system and upgrade our gutters to tie into the new drainage system, installation of new landscaping, pavers and English pea gravel. The project totally transformed the look of our home and all of our neighbors were complimenting us on the beautiful outdoor renovation. I cannot recommend Bill and Oakmont Builders highly enough.

He is a competent professional and trusted contractor with a solid team of subcontractors who have been doing this work for decades. With this renovation, we brought our 1912 Craftsman bungalow down to the studs. This was a full-gut renovation that involved replacing all mechanicals, drywall, new bathrooms, new kitchen and doing a primary bath addition. With Gary's construction expertise, we were able to restore the home while maintaining its original charm and bring our design to life. Some of Gary's many contributions included framing a new tray/drop ceiling, installing custom window and door casings to match the originals. He also rebuilt the front porch railings and reinforced the porch ceiling so it would accommodate a porch swing. He built our backyard studio shed in just a couple days and it's adorable. While nearly everything is new, you can't tell. And that is a compliment to the quality of craftsmanship. Gary doesn't cut corners and it shows. It is very important that you trust your contractor and that they have integrity and do what they say they are going to do. Experience is also very important. Gary has all of this. We will definitely be calling Gary for the next house we buy. We can't recommend him enough.
