Sinai Construction

I reached out to MDM back in early 2025 and met with Mike right away so he could look at my…read moreproperty and walk me through what my wife and I wanted for our project. Throughout the entire process, Mike was very professional and the level of expertise he exhibited was obvious. Before Mike, I had met with 3 other contractors to compare services and quotes but what sealed the deal for me was the 3D render service Mike offered. It was affordable and it would be free if you end up going with MDM for your remodel. Mike was able to get the renderings to me very quickly and made adjustments whenever we wanted to change something. Seeing the details of the renderings really brought what we were envisioning to life and helped with the design process. Fast forward to beginning of demo/construction, Mike's employees were impressively fast and efficient at their jobs, but what really impressed me was how clean they kept our property after each day of work. And that stated true throughout the entire process of our 7 month renovation. During construction, if there were any last minute changes, Mike would always try to cater to our needs whenever possible. Even if subcontractors made mistakes with anything, Mike would make sure it is fixed and perfect right away. Keep in mind, you can't rely on Mike for everything (as much as you might want to). You really do have to do your research (in terms of design, finishing materials, sourcing those materials, and getting them delivered on time) and know exactly what you want and how you want it, that way, Mike can plan and put into action what needs to be done. After this entire process, we are extremely happy we got this project completed with MDM. What really sets them apart is the quality of work, dependability, and the great people that work for MDM. Shoutout to Mario! They really respected our home and were very considerate of us during construction. Even after everything was finished, they guaranteed that they would come back and fix anything that needed fixing. Cannot recommend them enough if you want to improve or build your new home!

Shawn was easy to reach, responsive, and great to work with throughout the project. The crew showed up on time, kept things clean, and finished everything in under 5 weeks. We did new tile, vanity, lighting, and a walk-in shower, and the quality really shows. Hard to find a contractor this consistent and reliable. Pricing felt fair too, especially for the level of work. Definitely recommend MDM Remodeling if you're doing a bathroom remodel in Los Angeles we'll be using them again.

New Dawn Construction

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.

Their pricing was comparable to others, but the ability to visit their in-progress projects gave me confidence. I'm very very particular, and while no remodel is perfect, Creative worked to bring my vision to life. My advice: plan everything in detail beforehand--or hire a designer. To save costs, I handled all the design myself while working full-time, which was highly stressful. Having everything mapped out helps avoid delays, last-minute changes, or compromising on your vision. Golan and Jordan were fantastic--Golan handled planning and communication, and Jordan ensured everything stayed on track. They always responded to my texts in a reasonable amount of time. Their tile crew was exceptional (I often bumped into them because they worked long hours and weekends to complete my home and were really nice and respectful people), and they tiled nearly my entire house beautifully (we're talking 2000 sq ft of flooring, 3 bathrooms, and a fireplace). I appreciated that Creative didn't nickel and dime me for small changes, and when a gas leak was discovered (due to careless cabinetry work), they fixed it--and more (we found more leaks during the repairs)--without extra charges. Despite delays beyond their control, they completed the full renovation in about six months--from pulling permits to final inspection. Major work included a new kitchen, three bathrooms, tile flooring throughout, interior paint, a new electrical panel, and whole-house LED recessed lighting. Even after the job was done, they returned to fix small issues without hesitation. That kind of follow-up is rare in a world full of disappearing contractors. I would recommend Creative for any remodeling project, big or small.

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 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 first learned about the FEMA-funded Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) program, we realized that navigating its requirements could be challenging without the right guidance. We reached out for quotes, gathering three competitive estimates, but it was Sinai Construction that truly stood out. Not only did they offer fair pricing, but their approach was marked by an impressively thorough inspection and a level of detail in their quote that immediately instilled confidence. From the very beginning, the Sinai Construction team made the entire process feel simple and approachable. I worked closely with Fernando and Daniel, and their dedication was evident in every step. They took the time to explain how the EBB program worked, clarifying each detail so that we fully understood the process. Their willingness to address every question and concern helped ease the uncertainties that naturally come with home improvement projects--especially when government regulations are involved. Beyond their technical competency, what left a lasting impression was the personal touch they brought to the table. Fernando and Daniel weren't just knowledgeable professionals; they were genuine partners throughout the project. Their consistent follow-ups, transparent communication, and commitment to ensuring that we received the full benefits of the program played a key role in making us feel secure and valued. Because of their support, what could have felt like an overwhelming process was transformed into an empowering experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Sinai Construction to anyone in need of a fair, reputable contractor. Their proficiency in navigating complex programs like EBB, coupled with their empathetic and detail-oriented approach, makes them an excellent choice for anyone looking to fortify their home without unnecessary stress. If you're considering changes or repairs under similar programs, Sinai Construction's team will provide the expertise and personal care needed to guide you every step of the way. read more

I will start this by saying that I don't know where the bad reviews are coming from, I mean I have been treated with honesty and professionalism from the beginning! First Joshua inspected my foundation thoroughly , and I did have 2 other companies also do the same, but Joshua made the most detailed. Then I chose them based on his inspection. Their team did a great job, especially because there wasn't much room to do it, with the access being very small. I got to know all their names, they were a good mix of people. Then they finally helped me and my wife emailing back and forth with Daniel and Rocio to get accepted in the city of LA's bolting program. They never gave up on me, gave me all the information I needed, and I needed much help to do this! They would be my first choice do any foundation work on anybody's house if I were asked! Thanks Sanai! read more

Sinai improved our foundation. They were professional, diligent, responsive and good communicators. They devoted substantial resources and attention to the project. They were a pleasure to deal with. Only flies in he ointment were: (1) the work was much noisier than they predicted; and (2) they severed a burglar alarm wire, causing the alarm to sound. We had to have the alarm company come out several times, but ultimately got it fixed and Sinai paid the modest burglar alarm bill. I recommend that you deal with utility disruption/damage issues in your contract (we did); the form states that they have no responsibility if it is not modified. read more

Sinai construction is an amazing company. I needed foundation repair work done at my house. Out of the three companies that I called, Sinai Construction was the only company that spent over an hour crawling and inspecting under the house and the perimeter, taking measurements and photos. Daniel's thorough inspection covered not only the existing damage to my foundation but also the cause of it, which was bad drainage. They showed me the photos from under the house and took the time to explain how they are going to do the repairs. Their crew was very competent and polite. I could not be more pleased. read more

After a few letters from the HOA delineating the parking rules for both the driveway and the street we searched for a contractor who could remodel the garage to accommodate our 24-foot Sprinter Van. After researching a few companies in the area, we decided on Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. and we were happy to sign a contract with Jacob Lankri, the owner. The first step was to decide on the basic design package. Once that was settled, we submitted the engineered plans to our HOA. After many months of wrangling with the HOA, Gilah Lankri, the project engineer, was able to produce engineered drawings that met the HOA's aesthetics and expectations. Jacob and Gilah submitted the plans to the city of Oxnard. Unfortunately, it took the city of Oxnard a frustrating 10 months to review and approve the plans. All the while, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. stayed with us determined to get approval. Once we got approval to begin construction in December 2024, the demolition of the old garage was accomplished quite quickly. Even though we hit a snag regarding the Southern California Gas Company line, we eventually got approval to relocate and replace the line which delayed the project 5 weeks. Finally in March 2025 construction of the new Garage began in earnest. Jacob's team, led by an amazing foreman, Edgar, constructed a new elevated ceiling in the garage with new rafters and support beams as well as new tiled roof. The inside of the garage was completely refinished with drywall, texturing and fresh paint. New and improved lighting was installed in the garage along with assorted electrical outlets. The finishing touches included a new door to the backyard, matching the epoxy surfacing on the garage floor and patching preexisting holes in the walls. Outside, new stucco and siding had to be applied as well as painted. The disconnected solar panels and rain gutters were expertly reinstalled. In addition, an area of the driveway had to have pavers reinstalled looking better than before. I addition to the garage remodel project, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. procured and installed a new sliding glass door complete with a doggy door for access to the back patio. They also removed a set of windows in the dining room and then procured and installed a beautiful set of French doors. Finally, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. removed an old single front door and expertly installed a beautiful mahogany double front door. All the finishing details were expertly accomplished.

Brandon who came by to take pictures around my home was very thorough educating me how retrofits work and what kind of shape my foundation is in since its raised above the ground. Shoval, thank you for your quick replies to ALL my emails and conversation over the phone. You are a great asset to the team.

Mr Weinstein was very knowledgable, Professional and personable. They completed the work today on schedule! the work site was left sparkling clean and the new foundation is beautiful.

Their prices were very fair and completely transparent. I HIGHLY recommend this company. I wish there were more businesses that are as pleasurable to work with as the Weinstein Company

LICENSE SUSPENDED: Avoid This Contractor: Failed to Comply with CSLB Arbitration Award…read more I am updating this review to warn other homeowners to check the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) records before hiring LA Structural. As of March 2026, their license has been officially suspended due to their failure to comply with a legally binding arbitration award. On October 22, 2024, LA Structural requested and collected full payment for the second contract (permit acquisition for all work listed in the first contract) before any permit-related work began. Note: This is a violation. Despite full payment on November 26, 2024, none of the required permit finalizations occurred as promised, and the contractor stopped all permit-related work. Required tasks--such as coordinating inspections, correcting the soil compaction report rejected by LADBS, and managing final permit approvals--were not performed by LA Structural and were left entirely to me. I spent the following five months working directly with LADBS and city inspectors to complete these tasks. During those five months, I identified two defective areas of work. First, the soil compaction report was rejected due to LA Structural's circumvention of requirements. LA Structural hired a deputy instead of a third-party geotechnical engineer, bypassing the grading inspector's requirement and misleading me as the client after charging an additional fee for this engineer and report in November 2024. Consequently, in February 2025, Inspector Bonvouloir officially rejected the report. Later, Clark Inspections--the subcontractor hired by LA Structural--emailed me stating that LA Structural planned to use their in-house engineer to revise the soil compaction report, again attempting to bypass the requirement. I ultimately had to redo the soil compaction report through a licensed geotechnical engineer and resubmit it, after which it passed the city's review. The second defective work involved the drainage pipe and was documented in the CSLB investigation report. After 13 months of CSLB mediation, investigation, and site inspection, a mandatory arbitration hearing took place on January 22, 2026. The arbitrator ruled in my favor and ordered payment within 30 days. LA Structural failed to comply, resulting in their current license suspension. Notably, prior to the issuance of the stipulated arbitration award letter, the contractor repeatedly attempted to have me sign his own private settlement agreement--non-CSLB documents with terms that went beyond what had been agreed upon at the hearing. Don't sign it! I later learned that this is a common tactic contractors use to remove CSLB from the matter. Per CSLB instruction, I filed a claim with their bond company, Jet Insurance, to recover the awarded payment. Despite their written commitment on February 11, 2026, to issue payment if the contractor failed to meet the CSLB deadline, Jet Insurance instead extended the deadline to March 27, 2026, stating that "the contractor intends to make payment by this week." LA Structural failed to meet this extended deadline as well. On March 30, 2026, I received an email from Jet Insurance stating, "Attached is the Final Release and Assignment of Claim agreement, relating to the claim...In order to issue payment for this claim, Jet Insurance Company requires the attached agreement to be reviewed, physically signed and all pages returned." It has taken 16 months to recover my funds for their abandoned and defective work since their collection of full payment. Based on my understanding, when a bond company pays out a claim, the contractor's license remains suspended until specific legal and financial requirements are met for reinstatement.

I have a bedroom in my house where I noticed the floor is sloping. So I contacted one of those…read morefoundation companies featured in home magazines, which offers home services. Two men came out (in different cars), did a perimeter assessment, and used what seemed to be a leveler gun that they used in the sloping area, and quoted me 9K without even stepping a foot under the house. I found that odd since I would think you would need to assess the actual structure/foundation of my home, especially if you're recommending to hijack it up. They asked me about my home inspection and what they found. I forgot- I had used LA Structural for the home inspection when I purchased my home in Aug 2022. So I thanked them for their time, and contacted LA Structural. When I contacted LA Structural and requested a consultation, I mentioned that I had the report and that they wanted to see it. They said, Nope, we'll look at it with fresh eyes (Green flag #1). Brandon came out and asked me a few questions. I showed him the area, and he didn't hesitate and said he was going to look under the house to see what was going on. Brandon put on his suit and mask, then squeezed through the narrow crawl space under the house. When he came out, he gave me the rundown. He explained that there was nothing wrong with the structure/foundation of my home. However, if I wanted to replace the posts and piers under the house with concrete piers, I could do so, but it wasn't necessary. The sloping area of my home was caused by an old furnace that was still there, which was settling slightly. What I could do to fix that would be cosmetic. He gave me a cost range, which was similar to the original assessment LA Structural had quoted me a few years prior for the piers and posts, off the top of his head - so I knew, right then and there, that I was given a fair assessment. And if you're thinking, "Oh, they just looked up the report before they headed to your home," nope. Because they called me shortly before my appointment, asking if they could see the report, as they couldn't find it (I remembered I used a different email when I had the inspection done, sorry guys!). When I was asking a few questions, Brandon explained what was happening and what to look out for in the future. I forgot to mention, Brandon is an ENGINEER. So, his foundational knowledge is rooted in academic learning and practical experience. Without hesitation, I recommend LA Structural. They have been consistently fair in their assessments and didn't try to push or suggest something that I didn't need. Thank you, Brandon and LA Structural, you saved me thousands!

Julian Construction's team replaced two foundation walls that formed a corner. My problem was the…read moreold corner had cracked from top to bottom in two places, one on each of the adjacent walls, and the detached corner was beginning to sink, causing the house to slide to one side. The lack of a long tube from the gutter downspout leading away from the house was a likely culprit. How did I know? The doors around that corner were not closing. I like treating issues as they arise and I knew this problem could stand no delay. I asked for estimates from a handful of foundation companies that other homeowner friends had recommended. Julian's was the only one that had a well-documented inspection, a thorough scope of work, a fair price, and reasonable contract terms. Mayo was on top of it. She scheduled me within a week after I submitted the signed contract and deposit. The crew showed up at 7AM and the foreman spent an hour talking with me while he guided his team into action.They had to jack up the house. The foreman and I stood in the room being elevated and I could hear the creaking wood and straining nails like an old man stretching his joints to his limit (my house is 115 years old). It was scary but I felt like I was in good hands. The foreman was observing every reaction of the house and giving immediate instructions to his team. He also gave me an education on foundations and how houses slide, pointing out the the accelerating slant of the vertical wood pieces in my cripple wall. I do some much home repair myself so I ate up this education! The team worked fast. I was onsite the first and last day. On the first, they asked me a lot of questions about how much leveling I wanted (I opted to keep a slight slant or else my old doors would be jammed) and I could show them all the resources (power, water, fusebox) to help them do their job. They were really nice and had a good sense of humor even though the work was heavy and hard and the summer temps were nearing 100. Mayo had asked me to clear the space (remove plants, remove gutters, remove siding if I wanted to reuse them, protect the AC unit, so I did before they came. On the last day, I was dazzled by the new foundation walls. The floor in the house even felt better to walk on, much more solid. Julian's team offered to put the gutter and the siding back for me, making a vent hole to match the old one. This saved me so much time. Their work passed inspections. The entire process was very smooth. The crew was orderly and handled all items with care. We spoke in English and in Spanish and it was fine. I'm a native Californian so knowing some Spanish comes with the culture here. Up until this experience, I was nervous about foundation replacement but working with Julian Construction made me feel it is a manageable process, even a pleasant one. When I need further work on my foundation, I know who to call and I won't be stressed out about it anymore!

And their friendly work crew also worked very diligently and cleaned up the area very nicely. The repair work turned out pretty good. I can actually feel the increased structural rigidity on my 2nd floor walkway now when I walk on it. So, that's a relief to me. I know the required SB 721 EEE inspection can be a major hassle for many rental property owners, so I would definitely recommend One Structural to any landlord or property manager that is need of this inspection and/or is out of compliance with this safety regulation. Be sure to schedule your SB 721 inspection early as there is Jan 1, 2026 deadline for this.
