"Pristine Construction handled everything from design, city permits, construction and any extras we needed.  Pristine has a crew of employees and they only take a limited number of jobs so they can provide quality service to their customers.   They usually deal with referrals by former clients and are constantly busy.  Once we met Nathan and saw his level of commitment, Pristine is well worth waiting for!!
Nathan Moses provided the design.  He spent 3 hours with us at the appliance store to select the bathroom hardware, he spent an hour with me at the window store selecting windows and doors and he spent about 2 hours with us at the tile store selecting tile for the bathrooms............all about 1 1/2 months before we even began the project.  They only had a $1000 retainer and he spent all of this time with us!  This is the level of commitment you get with Pristine!
As with any older house you can expect the unplanned or unexpected.  We had to replace the sewer system because it was leaking,  fix broken drainage pipes and add french drains but at each step, Pristine said, "No problem" and had a worker on site the next day.  We didn't think the AC was strong enough to cool our western exposure bedroom, Nathan had the AC guy out the next day talking about solutions or removing our reservations.  We thought the room needed a third coat of paint in one room, no problem.  Everything was perfect.
As I mentioned above, Nathan Moses and Mike Malka are fantastic.  Mike will be onsite every day once the construction moves 'inside'.  We were fortunate to have both Nathan and Mike come to the site every single day that workers were here.  
Pristine took care of the architect plans, city permits, inspections and coordinating everything.   Sharona would call every day to tell us what was going to happen the following day so we always knew what to expect.
We decided to add a spiral staircase and deck on top of the bathroom, Nathan researched and found comparative prices for the staircase.  We ended up going with a company because we just connected with the owner from the start!  It turned out to be a friend of Nathan....should've known!!  Another advantage with Pristine is you pay direct for the tile and appliances using their contractor's discount and don't get charged an additional 20% as some contractor have done in the past.  Why should I pay 20% more to the contractor depending on the cost of a bath tub?  Pristine doesn't do that!
Their work is outstanding! and they stand behind the work  For example, I selected the tile for the shower nook and Faustino spent hours putting it together but once done, I didn't like it at all.  The Pristine team says, "We want you happy."  He came back on Sunday, took out all the tile and manually cut small pieces based on a custom design I drew and didn't think twice about making it absolutely perfect!!  Amazing teamwork and wonderful group to work with!  (And we weren't charged extra!!!!)
You will love their work, their staff and entire team of professionals.  There was never a disagreement or negative response.  The team has a positive attitude, great work ethic and outstanding results.  We hesitated for 15 years about doing this room addition because we heard terrible remodel stories!!   If only we knew about Pristine Construction but sure glad we were referred.  They are the best!
 The cost that I listed above is for room addition, additional closet built in master bedroom and guest room, new addition walk-in, complete remodel guest bath, new AC in 4 rooms, new sewer line, city permits.

"Bryan from level Engineering was very helpful and was aware of our time line. We really appreciated his work."

"Jeff was great to work with! He responded quickly to my inquiry about needing a survey, his crew who came out to do the survey was very friendly and provided me with a lot of information, and his price was extremely fair for the work performed. I highly recommend this company, and have even passed along his information to my architect to refer clients to in the future!"

"Having built many projects and delt with many engineering firms in my business, I’m very impressed with how quick and professional they are, I personally met with Peter himself, a class act gentleman all the way! I would recommend him and his team without a doubt, look forward to giving them all my projects from now on, apricate all you and your team are doing for us. Thanks guys!"

"Franco and his father Rene are experienced architects who came out to the site promptly, game planned a way to get approval for a multi unit triplex from duplex on the spot, and followed through each step of the phase. We successfully were able to get all city approvals in the city of LA. A+ Rating"

"AK engineering did an excellent job in structural design of our custom modern house. Amir is very professional and responsive and worked closely with our architect and us. He made himself available for job site visits and questions and his design was efficient and cost effective."

"I've had the recent good fortune to work with Tolga on renovation projects in Los Angeles and Manhattan Beach for which I am the Architect. The success of renovation work relies heavily on collaborative and creative structural engineering in order to realize interior and exterior architecture goals. Tolga instinctively understood my design goals and in a very professional manner he crafted solutions to bring them to reality. Many thanks Tolga. I look forward to our next collaboration."

"My husband and I decided to completely redo our back garden.  After much research with other companies and viewing many ugly and blah ideas we chose G and L Design.  It was a very intensive project.  Giant ficus trees with very invasive roots had to come out, along with the roots.  Much concrete had to be removed.  Most of the old soil had to be replaced.  Most of the plants needed to be removed except for a few hydrangeas and roses.  We also had drainage problems along the side of the house which were affecting the integrity of the foundation.
G and L Design helped us develop a beautiful and comprehensive design and also addressed serious problems.  After doing an excellent and clean job of demo the fun part started.  Dee, the owner, took us to a stone yard where we found exactly what we wanted:  beautiful golden figured sandstone.  We wanted much hardscape for entertaining yet for the space to be lush at the same time.  Dee's excellent landscape architect Rick took us to nurseries and helped us decide on beautiful trees, shrubs, flowers and herbs.
Dee has permanent employees; he uses no day labor.  His workers are skilled.  Each large slab of stone had to be cut by hand.  It was put together like a beautiful puzzle.  The stone cutter was an artist.  It was a joy to watch him work.  We have an upper yard and a lower yard.  A beautiful stacked stone curving wall was created along with very pretty large half moon steps separating one area from the other.$
New drip irrigation systems and lighting were installed.  The drainage problems on the north side of the house were addressed.  The trees and plants are terrific.  Wherever your eye lands there is something lovely to see.
As the project progressed we obviously ran into some challenges but Dee always had a solution.  When I wanted to make some changes there was not a problem.
We are so happy with this fabulous addition to our home we are using Dee to redo the front of the house next.  If you're looking for a fair company and talented people look no further than G and L Design."
