"I recently hired Encore Builders for a complete overhaul of my swimming pool, including new plaster and coping, and Iâ m absolutely thrilled with the results! From start to finish, the entire project was handled with professionalism, expertise, and a true commitment to quality. The main goal of this project was to refresh the aging plaster in our pool. The pool was starting to look icky and I had seen some other revival projects done by Encore Builders. The crew came over and worked their magic. The plaster was applied beautifully and smoothly. The end result is stunning â the water looks so clear and glistens in the sun!!! The coping around our pool also needed attention, and Encore Builders didnâ t disappoint. They offered a range of stone and tile options, helping us choose a coping style that complemented the new plaster and the overall aesthetic of our backyard. I didnâ t want much surrounding stone as I also wanted some artificial grass so my dogs can play and the surrounding stone makes the backyard look so much bigger! Brandon and Oz are a godsend!!! If youâ re looking to upgrade or revitalize your pool, I highly recommend Encore Builders. Their commitment to excellence, from design to execution, is unheard of. I canâ t wait to go for a dip in my new upgraded pool! thanks guys!"

"This was the first time i undertook such an extensive project: new concrete driveway, artificial turf install, stucco wall , iron fences and motorized gate, drip irrigation, spotlights, new plantings. All the work was completed on time with utmost professionalism from Yosi and his very capable crews. Everything was upfront and there were never any surprises. Needless to say we are all extremely happy with the beautiful results. I'm already talking to Yosi about my next project!"

"Amazingly, it was 90 feet of fencing. He did it piece by piece and even reinforced the bottom so that no "critters" could enter our patio. All was done in 2 days, and he even did a few little touch-up things with the landscape. we are considering having him do a stone wall at the property line shortly. We are very happy with his work"

"I am very pleased and even amazed at the transformation of my back yard. First, I must compliment Jesse, the landscape architect who designed my project. I had very specific "wants and needs" which he incorporated perfectly. The renderings and plans were excellent. The job supervisor, Leo, was very impressive. Even though he was overseeing quite a few other jobs, he never forgot any details or tweeks I wanted in my project. He was always very responsive. It took approximately 3 months to complete my project. I'm sure it would have taken other companies much longer as I saw happening when my neighbors had landscape work done at their homes. Many days there were 5-7 men on my job; they showed up promptly at 7 AM and worked very hard all day. They would also clean up the site at the end of each day. They were very experienced, as evidenced by the great work they did. I am a very particular person, so I closely watched the work being done. Santiago was often on-site and always checked the plans to be sure the job was being built as specified, He also expertly did much of the work himself. My backyard went from having very little useable or functional space to a place where I can easily entertain 50 or more people. When the job was done they did the final TLC, as Leo calls it, and they even washed my lower story windows and patio doors that were bordering the construction site. Final compliments to Jessica the office admin person and Richard the owner of the company. Unfortunately the photos were taken on a cloudy day and don't do the project justice."

"Good guys, good price, marginal work.
The >outdoor patio< paint job went mostly ok. A couple of spots no one would notice (I just did while up on roof) went untouched but mostly good work.
The >breezeway<...ugh. This is a partially covered exterior entryway. The exposed six-inch beam header for the entry doors - the top was completely untouched. As they painted the walls over the door, easily accessible and visible to them. The stucco was a lighter color and trim darker - in places where I had applied caulk at the seams between the two, the caulk (white) remained unpainted and now glares out at me like a neon sign.
entryway...ugh again. This is a two+ story entryway, with curving staircase to the second story. The prep work, even though promised to be thorough was abysmal. Holes from previous picture hooks were simply painted over instead of patch and scuff sand. Unfinished (needed scuff sand again) wall repairs were mostly ignored and painted over. I said I would come back and high gloss paint the trim/baseboards and in many places the wall paint didn't go all the way up to the trimwork. There were also a few spots where it seemed two painter met in the middle of the wall and didn't thoroughly (or properly) overlap their work. Very sad.
In all fairness -

1. I was recovering from cancer surgery at the time and (clearly) should and could have done a better job of supervising the work being performed.

2. I shared my disappointment with Cynthia at Regal and she seemed interested...but taking pictures and emailing them just turned out to be a bigger challenge than I was up to at the time.
3. The crew was friendly, and very professional in their conduct throughout the handful of days they were in my home. But my definition of "Professionalism" includes paying attention to quality of standards, not what one can 'get away' with.

"Great experience with them. I am absolutely satisfied with their work in the back yard. I am impressed it was done in a timely manner and will recommend them to others."

"I called them at around 11pm at night. And the dispatcher was responsive and told me that she will have the person on call contact me to discuss my drainage issue. After about 10 min, I got my phone call. I described the problem and the guy was nice enough to let me know that yes, he could come out that night, but if I'm not going to use the water for now, it would save me $100 to just to wait till morning to have them come service it. It was a good idea. So he left a note for his company to schedule someone to come out first thing in the morning. I got a phone call promptly at around 7am. They sent a guy, Manny, to me within an hour of the call. But we couldn't find the main drain (I had just moved into the new house and had no idea where anything was), so Manny said they would have to drain from the roof vent--but he couldn't do it, so he called the company to send someone else. They sent me George, who was great! He walked around the house, also couldn't find the main drain, then went on the roof, but couldn't use any of the vents because they were too small, and eventually decided to take out one of the toilets to do the drain. We did that, and then tested out the water for all three bathrooms--one of them was still stuck. So George does another look around, and then we discover that the main drain was at the back wall of the house, behind a storage unit! George then does another drain from there, and we repeat the process of roto-ing and testing. It took a total of over 2 hours from beginning to finish, and George kept a great attitude the whole time. He did his work diligently and made sure to wipe and clean away any mess that was created. He didn't charge me for all that extra time, nor for carrying his heavy machine up the steps at the back of the house. I love this company. They do honest, good quality work, and their staff are all very nice and responsive, and I always felt like I was taken care of. And while I don't have any comparison, it seems that the price was very reasonable."

"After getting the inspection reports I called back, added an extra clean up request, then scheduled the work on both the deal and the extra clean up. Ricardo Guzman came out and did a great job, above and beyond the scope I expected from the description of the services. Neither Ricardo nor Bill tried to pressure me into additional work I could not afford. They patiently spoke with my fiance who oversaw the actual work and I ended up getting more value for my dollar expended. They cleaned the roof and gutters, did the sealant work and nailed the sagging gutters. These guys are professional, trustworthy and hard working. I highly recommend them and this deal!"

"I would highly recommend Joe for any type of home remodeling project mainly to anything that Is similar to ours! Joes work is very professional and his knowledgeable about home remodeling is high as well (as to building codes & restrictions). As far as the design - Joe was very talented in that part too. He managed his people on a daily basis in a s professionally manner while making sure that each day they will complete the required tasks in no less than perfect. I really appreciated his input and comments, he is talented in his own right. Joe made sure to answer any questions we had with solutions to 100% satisfaction. Thank you Joe for your time and dedication to this project!"

"B & G Tile and Construction recently completed a garage addition at
my home in the Windsor Hills area of Los Angeles.  My husband and I were
referred to B & G by another contractor who previously provided a
bid on the Project using our plan set developed by an architect  we
hired prior to the bid process and got approved by L.A. City Bldg. &
Safety plan check.  Little did we know that the drawing set contained
omissions which B & G identified prior to demolition and called to
our attention.   B & G also anticipated the Bldg. inspector would
require the extension of a retaining wall which was not correctly 
defined in the 'approved' plan.   This raised the cost of the bid for
the project which is never good news; however, it was identified early
in the process and the contract was revised to include the additional work prior to demolition.
My husband and I received a number
of bids for the project from other Contractors which ranged
significantly less as well as more.  However, we determined that the contractors either
did not catch the architect's errors and underbid or did identify the error and
purposely unberbidded while expecting to obtain change orders mid-project to cover any unexpected
conditions.
 
I'm glad we engaged B & G Tile to complete the project; Joe Giram,
was always available by phone and text when we had questions or required
updates on progress.  If we had it to do over again, we would not have
hired the architect to develop a plan set without an experienced
contractor/Project Manager reviewing the plan in relation to existing
conditions and identifying discrepancies prior to beginning the bid process.  Just
because you have what you think is an 'approved' plan set from Los
Angeles Bldg. & Safety, you are still at the mercy of the assigned
Bldg. Inspector who can require changes in the field once construction begins.
 B& G was up to the task of dealing with our architect's errors as
well as the assigned Bldg. and Safety Inspector's demands and we would
recommend them, particularly for additions to existing property with difficult conditions.
