Get matched with top addition to existing structure builders in Torrance, CA

"This review and my recommendation of IND Construction are an absolute pleasure to write. We wanted to update our bathroom with a new shower, and we got bids from four companies. We selected IND Construction because of its very competitive pricing, its keen demonstration of understanding what we wanted, and the complete professionalism of its project manager, Dorel Zander. We were not disappointed! The work was done when he said it would be; Dorel kept me informed daily of what was happening and what would happen next. He found some additional small problems and helped us decide what to do, he gave excellent advice and always supported our decisions. The work team was amazing. They were always on time, took pride in their clean workmanship, and were always courteous, hard workers. If they did something that wasn’t perfect, they reworked it, all within the price we were quoted. Ultimately, they sent in their cleaner, and our bathroom was left pristine. We were not charged one dollar more than what was in the agreement. I could go on about how pleased I am with the way it all turned out, but let this heartfelt recommendation speak for itself. I unconditionally recommend working with INC Construction."

"We interviewed many contractors for this job. In the end, it boiled down to the good rapport with Nathan. On the plus side, his work is beautiful and his workers always showed up as promised. He never quibbled about some concerns we had throughout. But, we were up sold some work, (which we likely needed anyway) but were under the gun to make a decision and had to haggle under those conditions. Also, he sometimes requires multiple messages to get a response. Overall, very, very pleased with results and recommend to anyone."

"My husband and I really enjoyed working with Ben and his team at Creative Home Remodeling Group. Ben oversaw everything from making the plans, getting them approved by the city, scheduling the entire build and doing all final inspections. We really appreciate how communicative Ben was with what day and a time window we could expect the different work groups to come and what work would be done those days. If my husband or I ever had questions or problems with anything that was going on during our construction we were encouraged to call Ben and he helped create a solution that was workable for all of us. We liked that Ben and his team took care of everything from beginning to end and we did not have to hire any additional contractors along the way. We did have to purchase the specific fixtures and tiling we wanted.) We added apx 200 sq feet to our home, which included a bathroom, walk-in closet and room extension. The total process took exactly 1 year from signing our contract to us being able to use our added rooms. (That included making the plans, getting them approved by the city, the build, the installation and final walkthrough with the city inspector.) I would recommend using Ben and his team at Creative Home Remodeling Group to my family and friends. We look forward to working with Ben again in the future."

"Avi from So Cal Builders & Design Inc was our general contractor for our house's addition/expansion. This is the 2nd time we worked with Avi and his team, after he helped us completely remodeled our existing house, we know he is the perfect guy for our phase II of building the addition to our house. Again, Avi is so great to work with! He is very knowledgable on all construction related work and he is always available to help with whatever. He is able to come up with super creative solutions for all our requests/wants, we couldn't be happier with the work from So Cal Builders & Design Inc! My city is pretty strict come to all different types of code, Avi was amazing at managing all the city requests for us, I am glad that he helped with all that stuff for us so we didn't have to worry about anything. The work itself is truly awesome, and Avi and his team are here for us even when the work is completed when we need anything. I completely trust Avi and will for sure recommend him to anyone!"

"My fiance and I finally decided to remodel our kitchen after thinking about it for 7+ years.  We signed up on Angie's List to review contractors because my major concern when it came to choosing a contractor was trust.  I wanted someone reliable, honest, and professional.  After reading through several reviews, Fred from Deco Construction stood out and we set up a meeting with him.  He came to our house to see the scope of the work and then we met a few days later at his office to go over the estimate.  Just as the reviews we read mentioned, he itemized every aspect of the job so we knew exactly how much of our money was going where.  The price seemed fair and we didn't interview any other contractors like we originally planned because we thought it would be a waste of our time.  Again, my priorities were finding someone reliable, honest and professional and I found all those things with Fred.
The Work
The demo started and Fred's crew found that our old kitchen had a lot of concrete layers on the ground AND the kitchen countertops which was unexpected.  They gutted the kitchen down to the studs.  (Note: the price listed in how much we spent did not include the cost of the cabinets or appliances which we got ourselves).  Simultaneously Fred's crew removed a window from our living room that we always kept covered up with a curtain because our TV was there, and transformed it into a wall, where we now mount our TV.  Also going on at the same time, Fred had an electrician come and put recessed lighting throughout the whole house (kitchen, living room, front hallway, office, two bedrooms, master bathroom).  Additionally, smoke alarms and exhaust fan in master bathroom were also put in.  Needless to say the first three weeks of the job the house was EXTREMELY dusty.  If you are going to remodel and plan on living in the house during the remodel like we did, be prepared for that.  They also repainted the entire interior of the house.
The lighting work and living room work were done fairly quickly.  With the rooms finished being worked on, we put everything back to normal and lived in the back part of the house for most of the time as the front of the house is an open concept and somewhat connected to the kitchen in that it still remained very dusty while the kitchen was continued to be worked on.
Once the kitchen was gutted the floors went in first and then the cabinets started getting installed.  Countertop went in next, then the backsplash and finally the appliances.  Fred also replaced 2 windows in the kitchen area.  The installation of everything came out very clean.  One of Fred's guys in particular, Juan, is exceptional.  After our pull out drawer microwave was installed the opening of the cabinet we placed it in was too big and the microwave didn't have a kit.  Juan used some of our cabinet material and basically made it look as if it was a custom built-in and we were really impressed.  They also installed three pendant lights to go over the bar area as well as under cabinet lighting.  Final product - AMAZING!  We cannot believe this is our kitchen.  
Critique and Comments
1.  Fred ALWAYS answered his phone.  I never had to leave a message and wait around for him to call me back.  In addition, any questions or concerns I had he addressed right away.
2.  If we weren't happy with any aspect, Fred made sure his guys would fix it until we were satisfied with the work (no extra charge to us)
3.  One of Fred's workers, Juan is AMAZING, especially with cabinetry.
4.  I had a very specific vision for this kitchen and Fred made that come to life.  Again, if there was anything that we were unsatisfied with he would fix it until we were satisfied.
5.  We hit a major delay because three of our cabinets had manufacturer damage (we ordered from Lowe's) and had to wait for the replacements to arrive.  However, things were going very quickly up until that point and I believe if we did not run into this delay (not Fred's fault) we would've finished ahead of schedule.
6.  We were out of town a lot in the beginning while Fred's crew was working.  (Simultaneously planning a wedding out of state for this summer).  Felt comfortable not being home.
7.  Fred's guys always cleaned up their mess at the end of each day.  Kept furniture covered because, again, it does get very dusty.  Another reviewer emphasize this, and she was right!
8.  Fred is fair.  Although we didn't get quotes from anyone else, after seeing the completion of the job we are 100% satisfied that we got our money's worth.  Fred has a payment schedule and doesn't collect until after each specified portion of the job is complete and we were very comfortable with that.
Just remember, no matter who your contractor is, a remodel can be a stressful, frustrating thing (especially while living in the house during it).  Issues and concerns will always come up.  However, having Fred as a contractor helps a lot.  Working with Fred, we stressed less knowing that Fred wouldn't stop working until we were satisfied.  The job wasn't just a checklist to him to get everything done at a minimum and leave.  He doesn't leave until you are satisfied.  And even then, he will come back if you find anything that needs fixing well after the job is done.  He is also always upfront about costs so there were no hidden costs along the way.  We will definitely hire Fred again when we are ready for more projects to be done.

"The service was phenomenal. They pay attentione to details, and they were on time. They were always available, and they were really good contractor."

"Mark Lewis and Sons did an amazing job from start to finish. 10/10 would hire again. Great company. Exceptional service and work."

"I hired Golan and H&A My Design to build an ADU and they did excellent job and exceed my high expectations. The project went smooth, there were no issues and was finished ahead of schedule. It was a true pleasure to work with Golan and his team and final product is a top notch. Also this company have a one stop shop showroom for all finishes, 5000 square-foot. I highly recommend H&A My Design!"

"Platinum Home Builders our house beautifully. They showed up on time and finished the task in less than a week. Following the last walk around, they worked hard to ensure that all of the concerns were addressed. It's good to see projects like this finished on time and with a skilled workforce. I believe their costs are a little higher than others, but the quality, professionalism, and promptness of their work make it worthwhile."

"We are working with Guy to convert our garage into an ADU/pool house and it is going great. I'm always impressed by the quality of work that Guy and his team at Supreme demonstrate -- and very pleased that they are able to live up to the timeline that he commits to. They are able to work well and quickly, and at a fair price. This is a big project for us, but Guy has walked us through each step so we know what we need to do. This is the second time we have worked with Guy and he has delivered well on both projects he has worked on with us. If you're looking for someone to take care of a remodeling job for you, I would strongly recommend Guy."
