    We had some water damage to an interior wall at the front of our house due to a leak in our roof. We hired john and his company for the repairs. First off, John McMinns professionalism is outstanding. He was always there if we had any questions or concerns before during and even after the project was finished. His workers were extremely detailed with the work they did. They were always on time and on top of each step of the way. His pricing wasn't the highest and wasn't the lowest we got but we felt it was fair, and the feeling I got from John when I spoke with him was the driving factor to go with him. He made it feel personal for him and not just another "job". He came with other ideas, and didn't say that's what needed to happen but offered suggestions. If you're considering any kind of home project repair I would highly recommend John McMinn and We Do it Custom.

    John built us our dream home. It was a total redo - every pipe, wire, all drywall, square footage added, walls moved - basically a new home. Many contractors we interviewed thought it would take between one and two years to complete the scope of work. John runs his teams so efficiently, we moved back in after 10 months. He is also a man of his word, a fair negotiator, and he understands quality work. A project like this comes with many unforeseen events and loads of stress. We appreciated John working through all of it with us. We are grateful for his work and we love our new home so much!

    John and his team are amazing, this is our second time using them. They removed the old shutters off our house and smooth stuccoed the house. The team Was fast and efficient and they always make sure to keep the rest of our property nice and clean. They did an amazing job and literally transformed our house with a "face lift" 5 stars again and can't wait to use them for more future projects

    First few days after install, watering it for optimal curing.

    John and his crew recently did a large driveway replacement for me which also included sewer line replacement and demolition of an existing gate, plus some minor masonry work. They did a stellar job. I'm almost hesitant to share a review because I'm going to want John on more house projects and worry about making him too busy to fit me in! I've worked and crossed paths with many contractors in Los Angeles, and most are horrible - poor scheduling, lacking in details, inconsistent quality. John is a general contractor who's a cut above all others I've worked with. If you've lived in Los Angeles long enough you know how hard it is to find a reliable crew for home repairs and improvements. You end up being your own general contractor to get anything done, let alone done right. With John, I was able to just explain what I wanted and leave the rest on his shoulders. If anything came up, we were able to communicate and resolve. The end result was also well done. John is incredibly communicative, clear, and willing to work with you on your project needs. His team is respectful and reliable. Know what you want, make your plans, communicate what you need and work out the details with him and you'll be happy.

    I needed a new contractor because my previous one bailed out on me two months ago. I called John, told him what I wanted in order to finish the project . He was able to help me right away. Built forms in two days, poured concrete on the third day. He coordinated with fence company as well. The end result was so good many neighbors said they want to do similar designs. I'm glad I found John, he can definitively do it right.

    John and We Do it Custom did an awesome job on our remodel!! It came out just as my wife and I envisioned it! We hit a couple snags on the way (behind the walls) which John handled with his experience and very professionally. His workers were exceptional in their work ethic and work quality. I very highly recommend him to take on your project!!

    My husband and I have been planning to have our backyard cemented for easy/low maintenance for many years and finally we decided to make it happen. I went on yelp to look for the top rated concrete contractor in my area (South Bay) and I found John and his company "We Do It Custom" for having 5 stars reviews and pictures to prove his work. I called John and he was able to come to my house to look at my backyard and provide an estimate the same day. From the beginning, John had excellent communication, punctual, friendly, and professional. I received the estimate the following day. We decided to go with John for our project and I'm so happy we did! He was always so prompt to respond to my texts, patiently answered my questions, and his prices are reasonable/competitive. John and his team worked really hard and were professional. At the end of each day they made sure the area was clean and ready for the next day's prep work. The whole project took 4 days as he mentioned in the contract and he was on point. Throughout the process he kept me informed about the plans, changes, and anything that came up. Great communication and customer service is so important to me and John delivered high quality work and honest. After the job was done, he made sure the area was clean and organized. We are very pleased with the results and love our backyard! I'm so happy that we chose John for our project. We can finally use our backyard. Overall, John, Stephen, and his whole team at We Do It Custom are professional, hard workers, produced high quality work, and excellent communication/customer service! I highly recommend John and his company. We will definitely go with him for future projects! Thank you John, Stephen, and all the crew for doing an amazing job!

    John is one of the best GCs in the business bar none. We had a lot of tricky custom work done at our house and his patience and expertise turned our backyard into a wonderland! This GC and subs flat out deliver and hold to their word, which is a rarity today!

    Robin and Eric G.

    Yelpers: look no further and hire John McMinn and We Do It Custom. John is most trustworthy, honest and personable. He is an absolute pleasure to do business with. His work is clean, neat and tidy and you hardly know he is "in your space," while he's working away. His prices are reasonable and his jobs come in on time and on budget. We will hire him again for a bathroom re-do soon. I highly recommend him, willingly and without hesitation. I welcome you to call/email me for additional reference. See before and after on my concrete driveway that John fixed for us, attached:

    David S.

    John and the team at WE DO IT CUSTOM helped us completely transform our home! Initially hired John to redo my driveway but after an awesome job with the concrete work, we had him do much more such as installing iron doors from Pinky's , new smooth stucco installation, new entry way ceiling construction and light fixtures installation. He is a great communicator and delegates tasks to his team efficiently . Don't mickey mouse your project , go with a pro that won't rob your pockets! Thanks again John. My contractor for life!

    This is the finished concrete (but before they secured the artificial grass back down).

    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!

This was my…read morefirst remodeling project in many years, and I knew I would need to find someone new, since my former contractor had retired. From my very first meeting with Elena, I felt comfortable and confident. They were able to accommodate my requested start date and handled all the preconstruction details including permits and inspections. Elena guided me throughout the design process and worked closely with me to make sure I was happy with my choices. Their workmanship and attention to detail were top notch and they were very respectful of my property, as well as my privacy. Their crew was extremely talented, and Dmitry was very hands on and knowledgeable. As with any remodel, there were a few small surprises, but Pulsar came up with solutions and made any alterations necessary. I truly appreciated their clear and frequent communication, weekly updates, and budget progress reports. I will definitely work with them again on future projects.

I say "with" because they both were absolutely with us every step of the way. The schedule and commitment they made with us was as equally important to them as it was to us. We had some hiccups. No project that I've ever been involved with goes without a hitch. And our house was built in 1963, and the kitchen was last updated in 1992. So there were a lot of challenges to be met and issues to be dealt with as the kitchen went down to the studs. But Elena is a master project and business manager. And Dmitry is actual an artisan, with a team of very skilled people at the ready to do the work and handle the problems. Even when we had issues with the vendors for the appliances, Elena stepped in and worked the white spaces, smoothing over the issues and getting everyone back on track. Dmity himself literally built custom solutions real time at the work site. We had several challenges because of the way the house was initially built, and he overcame them one by one with creative solutions that were not simply kluges but are now permanent fixes that passed ALL Final Inspections. Which brings me to another point: Dmitry did all the plans for submittal to the city, and Elena submitted all the plans and permit requests, interfaced with the city for all inspections, and gave us copies of all the final inspections and permit information for our files. We paid for those services, and I will tell you it was well worth it. It bears noting that we lived in the house the entire time the work was being done, except for the 12 days when we were on vacation out of the country. Pulsar kept working the whole time we were gone, safeguarding our home, and keeping us in the loop even though we were eight hours ahead. Pulsar was not our least expensive bid. But we made the decision early on that we would not cut corners on this job. We are very grateful to have found Dmity and Elena. They were easy to work with, had respect for our property and our schedule and our budget as much as possible, and never made us feel sorry about choosing to with them. I recommend you choose them, too!#

We began our Culver City project with a plan to renovate our existing three-bedroom, one-bath home and convert our garage into an ADU. What started as a 325-square-foot garage ultimately became a beautifully designed 705-square-foot one-bedroom ADU. Throughout the process, EG's consistently exceeded our expectations. The quality of the craftsmanship was outstanding, but equally impressive was the team's communication and guidance. Their insights helped us make smart decisions that balanced our budget with our desire for thoughtful design and high-quality materials. As the project neared completion, our confidence in the partnership led us to take on an additional phase--adding flexible living space to the existing home. Technically a JADU, this unique addition transformed our front home into a four-bedroom, two-bath residence, while also creating the option to close off the rear portion and generate rental income in the future. None of this would have come together without the collaborative approach of Eric, the owner, and the entire EG's team. Their professionalism, creativity, and commitment to doing things the right way made a complex project enjoyable and successful.
