This review is for 2020 work. We really enjoyed working with Nick at RME and he helped us design,…read morecalculate, and advise on removing a large 30ft load-bearing wall running down our house. Nick was instrumental in designing and pushing thru the designs with the city. He was very professional, clear and communicative in his emails and helped our contractor as needed with guidance to create a safe working environment. RME was also very transparent and reasonable in their fee structure. They billed me accordingly and made it very easy to understand what I was paying for; moreover, they invoice billing system was very easy to use. I've attached pics of the before and after of our project. I would highly recommend RME Structural Engineers.

After a car went through our cinder block fence (approximately 50' long and 6 1/2' ft. in height of…read moredamage), and getting 7 quotes for repair, we decided to have JD Concrete do the repair. I was more than pleased with the work and in the time it was done in. Very professional in all manner and I will be having them come back to do more work I need done. Very very please. I highly recommend JD Concrete! Cannot beat the price for the work done.

Best concrete guy out there! I hired Jesse for a big…read morebackyard renovation that included removing all our old concrete, pouring new concrete, cutting cinderblock-the whole works. He is extremely fair with his prices, very reliable, and always shows up when he says he will. Jesse is also incredibly trustworthy. He never makes decisions on his own without checking in first, and he always involves you in every step of the planning so you feel confident in what's happening. Most importantly, he is very responsive. He always answered my calls, texts, and questions, and always got back to me in a timely manner. I 100% recommend him and will absolutely be hiring him again for future jobs!

First off we are super happy with Tolga and the team at TY engineering…read more We were doing a simple restucco, repairing framing and window replacement. We decided to change the balcony wall from all stucco to a base pony wall and glass on top. A simple change triggered the need for full building plans for a triplex from the early 1960s, engineering for wind and load calculations and the dreaded California coastal commission review as we are changing a design element. TY came on the next day to walk the project and and the following day, one of the engineers came out to climb the scaffolding, take photos and measurements. Within a short time TY had two different options on how we could do the glass on top of the pony wall TY helped us all through the process when both Coastal and the city wanted additional information Very happy with the service they provide.

I'm so grateful I found Tolga and his team at TY Engineering. Tolga was accessible, reasonably…read morepriced, and genuinely collaborative throughout the entire process. Whenever I had questions, he and his team took the time to answer them clearly, and when something needed more explanation, they invited me in to go over it instead of brushing me off. Ciro and Israel were also communicative, helpful, and solution oriented. My project had some tricky issues, and I honestly don't know what I would've done without their guidance. Tolga also went above and beyond by helping me with referrals. I highly recommend them.

Troy did a great job on our full gut housing remodel. We were at the project nearly everyday as we…read morelived nearby. Anytime we went over to the house, we were constantly impressed with the quality of work performed, the cleanliness of his crew, and their ability to hit the exact schedule that Troy communicated to us. One thing that is nice about hurst construction is that he has in house specialists that do their specific trade- plumber, electrician, framer, finish carpenter, painter, and a few others. The quality of work you get from these trade individuals is very high because they are working within their specialty. Another thing that was great about Troy was his willingness to meet with us and provide his input when needed. He is a good contractor to solve problems with because he has a very good eye for detail and will always do his work the right way. Lastly and most importantly, Troy is honest with you. He works very hard to make sure that you are happy with his work. If I were to do a high end house in the area, he would be my first call!

Hurst Construction is unquestionably the best! Troy and his crew recently finished a complete…read moreremodel of two bathrooms in our home. They did an outstanding job. Our bathrooms are gorgeous, and we love them. Troy is completely knowledgable in all aspects of his company's workmanship, and this comes through in the final product. His entire crew is amazing! The crew is comprised of extremely talented people who excel in their respective trades...demo, plumbers, electricians, tile installers, quartz fabrication and installation for countertops/bathtub cabinet, painters, carpenters...plus project mngr and foreman who oversee the many details of the project. Also you get the very much appreciated assistance from Bibi, the fabulous designer who is always upbeat and ready to help. We depended upon on her expertise quite often.

We are very happy with this friendly and respectful owner and crew of professionals.

Juan came to inspect my foundation for a seismic retrofitting Project. Out of all the inspectors,…read moreJuan is the most pleasant and thorough, and he has many years of foundation experience that I was looking for. He found things that other inspectors missed and he did not oversell like other contractors did. I immediately feel he is a contractor that I can trust. He explained what my foundation condition is and the detailed steps he would take to bolt and brace it to make it earthquake safe. he even worked with my budget so that I'm able to go forward with this project. Believe me, there were some outrageous quotes out there. Big thank you to Juan for amazing customer service. I highly recommend him.

Terrible Experience Absolutely terrible experience with this…read morecompany. I was originally told that my plans would be submitted within 3 weeks, but it ended up taking almost 4 months. That was an unacceptable waste of my time. On top of what I was already paying for the plans, I was hit with additional fees that I was not expecting. Then I was quoted $440,000 for a 400-square-foot addition, which was completely unreasonable in my opinion. The entire process was frustrating, expensive, and unnecessarily drawn out. I had to keep messaging them and emailing them to see where we were at in the process. I feel like my time and money were completely wasted. Do your research, get multiple quotes, and be very careful before giving this company your money. I would not recommend them based on my experience.

Re: Accessory dwelling unit…read more Houmam assisted me in designing and engineering an ADU (garage conversion). My situation was unique and very complex because of Zoning and building size. Houmam made sure what I wanted to do was possible by calling the City Of Long Beach prior to even charging me for a consult or a proposal. Although, initially, everything seemed straightforward, there were quite a few bumps in the road, and it was frustrating for all parties involved. It took about eight months for final approval because of the complexities but Houmam saw the project approval through to the end and made sure even after approval, that I had all of the info needed. He continues to be available to answer questions and follow up. He was patient and understanding with all of my questions and concerns. I look forward to updating this review with a picture of the completed project once it's done. I recommend HMS without hesitation.

Houmam was super helpful! Called him up and we were immediately able to schedule a time for him to…read morecome out and look at the crack in the garage slab of a potential home I wanted to purchase. His expertise in concrete foundations was clear when he easily explained the root cause for the crack in the slab and what the potential fixes would be. Because of him I was able to get some money back in credit from the sellers. Now I have the money to actually fix the crack.

We highly recommend John and the We Do It Custom team. They completed an 800 sq. ft. addition to…read moreour 1,500 sq. ft. starter home and turned it into a beautiful 2,300 sq. ft. "forever home." The project included adding a new bedroom, bathroom, and walk-in closet, as well as opening up and expanding our kitchen, dining and living room to create a huge open and inviting living space. One of the more complex parts of the project involved removing a load-bearing wall and installing structural beams to support the new open layout. John and his team handled this seamlessly, and the finished result looks fantastic. John's crew was punctual, hardworking, and professional throughout the entire project. John's communication skills were great as he was always responsive and willing to answer questions, always replying to texts in the evenings or on weekends when decisions came up. He also helped guide us through the permitting process, which made a potentially stressful step much easier. Another thing we really appreciated was how conscientious the team was about cleanliness. With two kids and two dogs at home, it meant a lot that they took the time to clean up the worksite each evening and keep things as safe and organized as possible. John works with high-quality subcontractors who are reliable and take pride in their work, and it shows in the finished product. We're extremely happy with the results. Our home now truly feels like our dream home, and we would absolutely recommend John and the We Do It Custom team to anyone considering a renovation or addition.

I have worked with John twice for my previous house and current house. For our first house, the…read moreproject involved demo'ing our existing stucco, adding insulation, applying new coats of stucco, finish with smooth stucco and accent sidings. He also demo'ed our entrance concrete and installed pavers. Everything was done according to plan and there was no surprises. Price was reasonable. We got a new home and needed to add a top smooth stucco on existing stucco. We also had to modify our 3 single-door garage into a 1 single plus 1 double door. We also needed to install a new entry door, window sills, etc. John came through again with a reasonable price after interviewing a few others. The garage door modification was very substantial involving structural engineering drawing, replacing steel beam, new framing, etc. John was able to complete all of these and helped us pass final inspection. We had to pause for over 6 months waiting for our custom entry door to be made, and once it arrived John wrapped up everything without any delays. In all honesty we never worked with any GC more than once, but John is the only exception.
