We're first-time homeowners, and we feel so lucky to have been connected with Magic Hammer. Sean and his crew helped us with a wide array of home remodel and improvement tasks to get us moved in, and we can't imagine a better experience. From construction to finishing, these guys do it all. His guys are artisans, truly. Each one has a mastery of their trade. Filling in the gaps are amazing guys like Pedro and Marco, who can do seemingly anything. Magic Hammer's guys also do a great job cleaning up after the work is done. Sean has a keen eye for detail and an amazing sense of organization with his many projects. He listens well, has a great memory, and recommends he right solutions for us. He tries to save us a buck when appropriate, but doesn't cheap-out anything. In a couple of cases, he's opted for the more expensive, more comprehensive thing to satisfy the client. That's a rare thing from a vendor. You should feel extremely confident about hiring Sean and Magic Hammer for your next residential or commercial project. Very highly recommended. read more

All his advice and tips were all useful, definitely recommending him to my family and friends! Magic Hammer is awesome! read more

I hired Sean with Magic Hammer to redo my entire kitchen, and i have to say i am annoyed that yelp does not give me the option to give him 10 stars. Sean and his team made my kitchen look like paradise, not to mention how easy and quick the whole process was from start to finish. They definitely did something magical to my kitchen because not only does it look amazing but my food also tastes 10 times better. I would definitely recommend for anyone who needs any type of work done to their property. The best of the best. Thank you again Sean and crew. read more

What can I say about Sean. Working with him was so pleasant and so easy. He's not like all the other General Contractors I've had to deal with in the past. I hired magic Hammer to complete my pizzeria project in February 2013. It was completed in a timely manner ahead of schedule. Inspections were quick and painless as code knowledge was a non issue. He knew what could pass and what couldn't. I started my construction project and finished ready for business within 3 months. I couldn't be happier with the service he provided and highly recommend Magic Hammer to anyone looking for an honest and genuine contractor to work with. read more

Magic Hammer Development - Finished construction project - General Contractors Near Me - Tarzana, California

I wish I'd had the same wonderful experience as the other reviewers, but I did not. I also hate giving bad reviews, but I felt I should. I hired Magic Hammer aka LA Best Builder (which is just one contractor - Sean) to replace my crumbling asphalt driveway and patio with cement, to upgrade my electrical system, to put up a ready-made gazebo and to renovate my garage (no bathroom/kitchen, just a basic renovation of the existing structure into a playroom). Issues: 1) Lack of communication - I kept having to ask what to expect, when the workmen would be at my house, the status of various parts of the job - sometimes I'd get a response, sometimes I wouldn't, 2) His guys would show up sporadically and sometimes took a full week or more off, 3) Sean wasn't on-site or reachable for some major cement work that was going awry. It was a Saturday (Shabbat), and I respect that he is observant, but he should not have had that work done when he couldn't oversee it or be reached. He also made excuses for the things that went wrong and tried to push it back on me (he was trying to "save me money"). He ultimately fixed one issue months later after much arguing and much pressing. It will be interesting to see if my patio floods during a heavy rain. Also, his cement guys pushed through my side fence and broke it open - my neighbor saw them do it. Sean said the fence was in poor shape anyway and would eventually have had to be replaced (yes, EVENTUALLY, but it wasn't a priority). He never acknowledged that his guys did this (again, he wasn't even on-site when they were there). I had to have someone else come in to replace the fence and Sean did nothing to cover any of the cost. 3) I requested side windows on the garage and he told me he could put in 18" "custom" ones, but I wanted bigger ones which he said he couldn't do (why would "custom" windows only come in one size?). I looked online myself and saw that Lowes had 30" and 36" casement windows and asked what the biggest size was that would fit in that area. He said 36" so I said I wanted to go with those (it was confirmed in a text AND he built the spaces for the 36" windows). Three weeks later, 30" windows arrived and he blamed me for the error and tried to get me to take those, saying it wasn't much of a difference. I said I'd rather wait and have him order the 36" windows. He got upset and said he'd lose money. Since they were from Lowes, I assured him they could be returned (and they were). It was going to take another 3 weeks for the 36" to arrive, and I told him I didn't want the rest of the job to stall - there were several things that could be completed within that time and the job was already taking forever. He said they couldn't continue with the other things because "it would create dust." I told him that it seemed that he could put up plastic to alleviate that problem, plus there were several things that needed to get done outside. The job was delayed and delayed. I had to push and push for things to get done. 4) I told him I wanted a digital keypad for the garage door but that the one I saw at Home Depot wouldn't fit. He said he had one in mind, but then realized last minute that it wouldn't fit and gave up. I looked online myself and easily found a few that would work and ordered one. He simply wasn't solution-oriented. 5) His men re-hung my gate improperly after the cement work was completed and I asked him continuously to have them rehang it. I even went and bought the hinges myself (different kinds that his men could choose from). He made a big issue that it would be a lot more work, but after more cajoling, he finally had his guys do it. 6) I was going to have cabinets from Ikea installed along the back of the garage. His guys were supposed to pick them up at the store, bring them to my home and install them (this was all in the contract). Long story short, the job was taking so long that I ordered them online and had them delivered (at an extra cost). He had his guys install them and ended up charging me $800 to install cabinets that Ikea would've installed for $450. By that time it was too late for me to halt this as they had already installed the cabinets. Sean made up some excuse saying that there were more cabinets than planned and it was a lot of extra work. This was completely untrue. I emailed him the original documentation and contract showing 2 units which had 6 cabinets each. I ended up buying 2 units of 4 cabinets each - less cabinets than we discussed. In the end, it was a terrible and stressful experience working with Sean. He was full of excuses, rude, argumentative and I now realize that he was overpriced. I'm disgusted by the entire experience. It's hard to believe it all went so smoothly and pleasantly for all these other reviewers. read more

I added another room to my house and used Magic Hammer / Sean Ahron as the contractor for the job. I spent 3 years thinking about doing this and one year interviewing contractors. I probably interviewed 12-15 different contractors. Most of them bs'd me with either an artificially low quote that they'd have to eventually jack up when they couldn't meet it, or a ridiculously high quote that there was no way I was going to pay. There were a few contractors that I liked initially, but I could never get a hold of them following our initial meeting. I turned to Yelp, and found Magic Hammer. Sean's quote was right in line with the research that I did on the project. Everything he laid out made perfect sense and I never got the feeling he was attempting to pick my pocket or do anything that I didn't need or want. I hired Sean and he got to work quickly and efficiently. The workers were all incredibly polite and they absolutely busted their asses every day. Mike, the plumber, was in the minuscule crawl space under my house altering the plumbing during the worst heat wave of the year. I felt so bad for the guy, but he came out with a smile on his face. His other guy, Chaim, might actually have magic powers. I'd walk away for half an hour and come back and he'd have something totally new built and looking amazing. The guys finished up and I couldn't have been happier with the work. Walking around my neighborhood and seeing all the flipped homes and the sub-par craftsmanship that goes into them, I felt really lucky that Sean didn't just slap the room together in the cheapest possible way. It looks absolutely terrific - way better than I expected to be honest. Sean also stuck to the exact quote he laid out. I've heard so many horror stories, I didn't believe contractors actually did that. Highest possible recommend for these guys. You won't be sorry with them. read more

What can I say Magic Hammer is the best! Sean always comes through when we need him even if our project is small. He has taken care several of our commercial build outs, renovations and TI's for many of our buildings and properties. Sean and his guys the craftsmanship is extraordinary. I have done allot of construction projects and have had many contractors come through that are mediocre at best. I can tell you when you find someone like Magic Hammer don't let them go. They are very trustworthy say what they will do and do what they say. They always finish my projects on time and have given me the best deal for my money. I would recommend them to anybody! read more

I used magic hammer to renovate our home. We had estimates from 4 General contractors to complete the construction according to our schedule. Magic Hammer gave us the best price and stuck to it and the schedule throughout the construction. We spent over 200k on the work and it looks amazing just as we wanted it to be. Magic Hammer even suggested some things we can do to reduce extra costs which I thought was great. We had special work with colors done in some of the rooms and we always get compliments on them and the house. I definitely suggest this company to anyone that needs any construction on their home. I wish I could post my before and after pictures to show what a difference they made to our home. read more

I hired Magic Hammer to fix the foundation of my house. I was immediately impressed with the quality of their work. They went above and beyond by working closely with my engineer to make sure the foundation was done properly. I would also like to add how easy it was to communicate with Sean and his team. If I left a message at the office, I would receive a call back on the same business day. They are also fantastic with sticking to a schedule. Not to mention what great work they do. It is so difficult to find a contractor who can stick with a timeline, produce quality work and even return your phone call. Magic Hammer is a real gem. read more
