"Mike and his team were incredibly responsive and did a great job with the project. The finished product is exactly what we had hoped. I would absolutely use Ashler again on any future projects."

"Jeff Arellano responded in short time to initial request for evaluation and quote. The very polite crew showed up early and completed the job in the time expected. From the beginning of the process the steps to be taken to complete the job were clearly explained and the end result was perfect. The chimney that had brick and mortar cracks now looks perfect, a work of art by artist Jeff Arellano. All debris was cleaned up and the area swept left cleaner than before the job. A very positive experience.

"I would like to describe my experience with Best Builders Group in one word *** "Wow"! I wanted to expand my house by adding a 400 sq./ft that will expand the kitchen and the dining room area. The terrifying stories of reading about so many weird stories and non-professional construction companies was a huge concern to me. My neighbor recommended Zohar from Best Builders Group and I decided to call Zohar and interview him. As part of the meetings that we had, Zohar did a layout and 3D design model based on what I wanted before I even asked for the price or signed the contract. The price for the whole work was more than reasonable and it included everything I wanted with additional tweaks that Zohar recommended me to include. The most importantly part was that the remodeling was completed within the time frame that Zohar promised me. The bottom line is that Zohar from Best Builders Group is excellent contractor and highly recommended guy!"

"Joe uses very good judgement in all my repairs. He quickly responded to this service call placed by the tenant. He assessed the age of the water heater and advised it was past it's useful life and recommended replacing.
He does service calls on all my rentals from minor repairs to complete remodeling. His judgement is good on what needs fixing or replacing. His rates are very fair plus his quick turn around of the homes gets vacant rentals back on the market quickly. He always treats my calls as important whether they are a small repair like a garbage disposal gone bad or a roof that's leaking and that needs replacing. He is my go-to guy for all service calls."

"We had several problems with our fireplace. It had started not drawing well despite the chimney having been cleaned a year before.  A lot of fire smell was entering the entire house even with an apparently clean burning fire.  Also the back wall of the fire box had a number of cracked bricks and an earlier patching job done by a former owner was crumbling.  There was similar deterioration on the firebox floor.































































































































Rich came on time for his estimate and immediately said the lower end of the flue might need to be recontoured because there was a flat spot that could cause the fire gasses to rebound downward.  He said the cracking in the back wall was probably due to moisture seeping down through an old chimney cap.  He told us at least some of the bad bricks should be replaced and any remaining cracks patched with the right kind of heat resistant cement.  He also recommended a new concrete chimney cap to keep moisture from penetrating into the porous chimney bricks.  He further suggested a vent to the outside at the back of the firebox to allow air to be drawn in to the base of the fire to assist in the drawing up of the gasses.































































































































But we were all puzzled by why the fireplace was suddenly not working as well as it had over the years. Rich asked if there had been changes in the house, like new windows or vents.  Yes!  We had moved our furnace into the attic and changed the cold air return from near the floor to the hall ceiling.  Apparently that caused an air flow in front of the fireplace that picked up the fire smell and drew it into the furnace, which propelled it throughout the house.  Problem identified!  Rich thought the air vent would solve this.































































































































Before Rich came to do the job, I tried the gas fire starter with no logs on the grate.  Surprise!  Flames rushed out of the cracks in the fireplace floor!  When Rich removed the brick around the line, he discovered a rotten pipe and no real connection between the gas line and the starter.  Another problem caused by the shoddy work done by (or for) the previous owner.































































































































Long story short, Rich arrived for the job exactly on time and spent the whole day with a helper doing all the work he had recommended.  It was noisy and dusty, but he put a tarp covering the fire box and also placed tarps on the floor.  We added coverings for the furniture.  In the afternoon we asked him to replace some more bricks so there would be less visible patching.  He managed to do this and was done before we had guests in the early evening.  We have since tried the fireplace and it works fine!































































































































We did have a little issue about the final bill, as the extent of his work had changed during the job and the effect was not clearly communicated.  We finally worked it out, but it pointed out to both of us the need to be clear about work changes.  We recommend Rich not only for his timeliness and good work, but his thorough diagnosis of, and solutions for, our fireplace problems.

"Excellent contractor! I went with LA Experts Builders on my kitchen and bathroom remodel and it was a great experience to work with them. Nir and his crew were always on time, did everything as they promised and as I requested. There were no issues and project was finished on time. I am completely satisfied with final product, in other words, my new kitchen and bathroom are brilliant!"

"Service was excellent. I have used George over several years, for several projects, and have always been extremely satisfied.
He has done two bathrooms, using specialty surfaces with pebble stones, slate and porcelain tiles. He has also redone a fireplace, 
resurfacing the exterior with slate. 
George is prompt , is fair on pricing, and easy to work with. He is always present on the jobs, and easy to work with .I would highly reccommend his services."

"BG has consistently met or exceeded expectations on the 3 projects we have used them for. Joseph is a hands on businessman that uses a team of highly skilled professionals in all aspects of the job. Project design, prep, timelines, quality of materials, services and supervision are all delivered as promised, and the end result has always been outstanding. Our high quality house only gets better each time we work with them, and Joseph's eye for optimizing the project for the best end result is why i do not price shop when i have a new project. BG's talented crew really makes a difference. Their skills in framing, stucco, paint, finish, tile, plumbing, and appliance installation results in a new home appearance that is exact and does not cut corners. While my 2 major construction projects were completed on time and on budget, a 3rd project whereby Joseph's team sealed a busted roof caused by a fallen tree during the floods in early 2017 saved my house from further significant damage. the BG team was on site within 2 hours of impact to take precautions against an impending storm. we subsequently repaired the damage, but the precautions they took to protect us were invaluable. i am happy to give in person comments if desired, Joseph can reach me if requested."
