"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!"

"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."

"We had a stoppage in our patio drainage system near where several pipes meet. It wasn't clear exactly what the best avenue of attack would be. I suggested one opening which I thought was the straightest shot to the problem, but there was another the tech wanted to try first. That one seemed to lead to a T that couldn't be passed. The tech then used my original suggestion and that turned out to do the trick after some struggle with the blockage. There is usually an additional charge for going down more than one drain hole, but since success came with my original suggestion there was no additional charge which I thought was fair. In any event problem solved quickly and for the agreed upon price.
BTW, concerning the price, there is a rate sheet on their web page that lays it all out which I appreciate. There are 3 tiers: regular, overtime and double time which correspond to regular hours, off hours/weekends, and late hours/sunday/holidays. I had the work done on a Saturday morning so the indicated rate was overtime. However, there was a moment of confusion at the point of final payment when the office claimed it should be double time since it was Thanksgiving weekend. The rate sheet, original over the phone conversation and the quote from the tech on arrival all were for the overtime not the double time rate. To their credit, this was honored without too much fuss. The take away here is make sure you know which rate you are expected to pay especially when you are booking on or near a holiday. For example, is the Saturday of Easter weekend double time? It might be.
Anyway, great experience. I recommend The Drain Co.

"The first guy came over and took pictures on an ipad and gave an estimate. I have tile on the first portion of the roof and then the rest is a graded flat roof. He entered the roof from the front meaning he walked on the tiles. After the repairs we completed, we had another big storm and the roof leaked where the tiles were. I later learned you are not supposed to walk on tile. I think he may have disturbed something causing the new leak. He was professional and explained all of the costs, showed me photos. The actual repair person came while I was at work and did the repairs. He sent pictures of all of the completed work. The leak that I called for repair was repaired and never leaked again. He cleaned up the roof as well. I was happy with this. I tried contacting them again but never received a reply. Overall, they got the job done but I believe more care should be taken on a tile roof. I think they should be more responsive to emails because I would have used them again. They were responsive to the initial scheduling and consultation but after that, I could not get a reply."

"SES builders remodeled my kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms at my house. The work took appx 3 months from the initial meeting that we had with Gil all the way to the last inspection that he did. During the work, Gil worked hand by hand with us explaining and recommend us about the things and materials that were the best fit for us. More than that he also went with us to some of his vendors and helped us selecting and buying the finished materials. We are very happy with the overall work that he did and with the extra work that he did for us during the work. We already recommended him to few of our friends that saw the work and asked us about our experience with him."

"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.

"He was great and his prices were very reasonable.  He is very experienced, and he was excellent about explaining everything that needed to be done. He showed up in the rain to put plastic on our roof so our beams wouldn't be damaged.  He did a very careful and thorough job on the repairs.  It has rained heavily twice since he came, and we have not had any more problems.  We would definitely use him again, and we will call him when we need to replace our roof.
