Get matched with top addition to existing structure builders in East Los Angeles, CA

"Our initial meeting with Suj was great. Initially, we had in mind a much larger job. He had quoted us $3000 for the closet demolition / wall rebuild (non-load bearing), packaged with several other items. Together with the fee for drawings ($4000) and permits, this was a bit higher than we anticipated. However, we decided to go with Suj due to his responsiveness and professionalism. Out of our other quotes, Suj’s pricing was middle of the pack - not the cheapest or most expensive. When the drawings were complete and evaluated, he gave us an updated cost of $6000 over text message. The scope of work had changed, and this was no longer part of a bigger project - understandable. The issue was when he gave us the official estimate a week later and up’d the price once again to $9000. When asked what happened, his exact words were “well, I need to get paid too”. He had weeks to consider before quoting the $6000 and nothing had changed since then. The extra $3000 may be insignificant compared to most renovation costs, but for us in our first home, this was back breaking. We continued with Suj since we were already locked in and well past the 3 day cancellation period. Their work for the most part was exceptional. The new wall blended perfectly into our existing structure, and the ceiling patch was also well done. The problem here was the floor. They had dug up a 1” deep pit in the floor, likely to remove the wall studs. However, they did not patch the floor or even let us know this was going to be an issue. We were never told about the pit until I decided to check in on their progress one day towards the end of the wall build. This required us to pay a handyman to come in next day on a weekend to patch the concrete since we had cabinets being installed the following Tuesday. Suj was aware of this and did not believe it pertinent information. Overall, Suj and SoCal Builders do quality work, but the issues in pricing consistency lost us before the work even started. Not even telling us that we’d be left with a 1” deep pit in our floor after was another huge issue which should’ve been brought up much earlier. This was our first experience with a contractor and I’m not sure if this is typical or not. However, it’s enough to make me doubt I’d contact them for any future work."

"If you need an addition built on your house, I'd highly recommend you give Creative Remodeling a call. We used them to add a master suite which makes our house much more livable. We've also decided to add decking in the back yard off the the back of the house. Oh, and this was after working with them during Covid on a kitchen and 2 bathrooms. So that makes us repeat, on repeat, on repeat customers. The work is quick, to a good quality, and they listen to what the customer wants and have dealt with the odd snafu without any push back. Highly recommended."

"We hired Ben to remodel our living room and kitchen, which included adding approximately 300 square feet, creating an open floor plan, and removing an enormous brick fireplace in the center of our house. From day one, Ben was amazing to work with. He was on budget, on schedule, professional throughout the entire project, and consistently anticipated potential issues before they became problems. His wealth of experience was incredibly valuable when it came to making decisions along the way, and he was always willing to offer thoughtful advice and guidance. His entire team was fantastic as well: professional, respectful, and clearly committed to doing quality work. We couldn’t be happier with the results and our experience working with Ben. We highly recommend Ben for any remodeling, building, or construction project!"

"My wood balcony has termites and water damages. So I hired RET to do the job. Kevin gave estimates and recommended composite planks for floor and red woods for railings. His workmanship was very professional and finished on time! On top of that, Kevin updated my balcony to the latest building codes. His price is very reasonable. If you want cheap prices and lousy jobs,hire someone else! Highly recommended!"

"I recently used Platinum Builders for a new home addition and had a very positive experience. As an engineer with extensive experience building and renovating homes, I originally planned to manage the project myself and subcontract each phase. However, with frequent work and travel, I realized I needed a turnkey solution. Devon, my project manager, was professional, honest, responsive, and worked around my schedule. Although two other quotes were substantially lower, I chose Platinum because of my confidence in their team. The footing and framing crews were excellent. When quality issues arose during finishing, Devon quickly addressed them. I would definitely choose Platinum Builders again."

"We needed to do a kitchen remodel for a while now so we did a massive research online and by asking friends and family in our area. After meeting with all of them and explaining to them what are we looking for, what we want to do and mainly what is our budget. We received estimates from all the contractors that we met and we selected Trig Builders because Yossi was the most competitively priced and the referrals that we got on him and his company were very positive. Yossi and the workers were very easy people to work and to deal with and Yossi designed the kitchen exactly the way we wanted it with some nice additions of things that we didn’t think we will get. His suggestions about the new kitchen layout, where and what materials to buy were very helpful. Also, his advises and recommendation on where to buy the cabinets, lightings, plumbing and appliances saved us a lot of money. The end result of the new kitchen was perfect and one of the things that added a huge plus before we hired them was the warranty that included in the price of the work that they did."

"This contracting company is licensed and insured. But most importantly, the contractor is honest and sincere and will do all he can to build or remodel based on your specific needs. Green Planet Remodeling Inc. crew are conscientious, detail-oriented, appear when they say they are coming, work a full day and usually finished the job ahead of schedule. For this family, he had added a family room, connected a garage to the house, replaced a garage roof done incorrectly by a previous contractor and will now do bathroom renovations. A five-star rating describes the quality of this company and the workmanship."

"We contacted Angie's List for our roofing needs. Set an appointment and met with "Erik" Gombinski, Supervisor. My wife and I mentioned to Erik what & why it was our desire to do the demo. After and with additional information, Erik stated, hold off (our house is for sale) and for all the right reasons wait to see what/if a buyer would want to do. The decision was "right" and the overall idea was not to spend our $$ unnecessarily, but to see what is coming up. Erik was not only a great representative of Home Renew 360 BUT a true professional in estimating what is truly all end. Would/Will use Erik and Home Renew 360 on any/all our needs on our next purchase with WHAT WE KNOW TODAY, total peace of mind on the quality, concern, and representation? Thank you Erik, Audrea & Jim Langdon, Santa Ana, Ca."

"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote. Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

"The initial price was good but we had to do a change order once the gutters were demo'd, and they did not replace 100% of what was existing as gutters with the price they gave me. There was an existing overhang on the front door that was removed and not replaced when I thought that was part of the contract. I paid more than what I planned but they did the work fast and good and on weekends. Communication was fine."
