"We hired top home Remodeling to redo 2 of our bathrooms and put in new flooring throughout our home. Overall we have been very happy with their work. The 2nd project went a little over schedule but our project manager bar was more than made up for it by going above and beyond to make sure we were happy and satisfied with everything at the end of the day. He even suggested improvements in his crews work himself and readily fixed any touchups we pointed out .i am very happy with the service and I will definitely recommend them."

"David and Sam were very helpful and knowledgeable from start to finish. It was a large kitchen/bathroom remodel in an older house that also included a partial remodel on a third bathroom to install new plumbing and electrical for a washer and dryer. They started with a 3D CAD model of the kitchen done by their designer with input from me and then followed it exactly. The finished project was beautiful and looked even better than the drawings. There were several big challenges along the way including lowering the kitchen floor and also removing a load-bearing wall which required an architect and an engineer for city approval. They had all the contacts needed and I didn't have to go out and look for them myself. They also got all needed permits and approvals and were there for all inspections. Whenever a particular part of the project wasn't quite what I expected they cheerfully redid it until I was happy. They even fixed some problems that were caused previously by other contractors during an earlier remodel. David went to the tile store with me and was available anytime I had questions on appliances and fixtures. Sam, who was in charge of the structural work, was knowledgeable in every area of construction and personally did the trickiest framing and bracing work himself to make sure it was done right. Even though the project is done they come by whenever I have a question or see something that needs a minor adjustment. They are easy to reach, always cheerful, and never avoid me or leave me hanging. They were even flexible on the pricing and gave me different options depending on my available budget. I'm going to do a bathroom addition in a few years and am planning on using them for that."

"I did a kitchen remodel in 2010 with Golan remodeling. I just started reviewing companies. I really enjoyed the entire experience with this company it is a very small company but they do extreme remodels. I hired them again in 2012 to do a bathroom remodel and I received the same amazing service as I did in 2010. Very knowledgeable staff very clean and professional and very trustworthy. I was never home they had a key and nothing went missing. I know they will be my number one contractor as long as I do remodels. I highly recommend."

"I truly could not recommend Danny any higher. From the moment we began working with him, he was honest, reliable and just a total pleasure to work with. He was incredibly thoughtful and patient with every detail and decision, always willing to discuss alternatives, and never was satisfied until the work was perfect. He was a great communicator and there were never any surprises. He delivered an ADU above our expectations - on time and under budget, something nearly unheard of in the construction world! I also really appreciated his design sense and suggestions - he has excellent taste and judgement. If you are considering hiring a contractor, look no further - trust me on this one and hire Sklar Construction. I can promise you that you will not regret it."

HomeAdvisor makes it easy to connect with pros near you. You can read reviews, get quotes and book appointments all in one place.
Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.
Los Angeles Addition & Remodeling Contractors are rated 4.9 out of 5 based on 516 reviews of 516 pros.
The HomeAdvisor Community Rating is an overall rating based on verified reviews and feedback from our community of homeowners that have been connected with service professionals. See individual business pages for full, detailed reviews.
If you're looking for Major Home Repairs Contractors that serve a different city in California, here are some popular suggestions:
For remodeling and other large-scale home projects, hiring a general contractor can make the difference between a chaotic and stressful waste of time and a hassle-free experience. They are a "jack of all trades" who make sure a job is completed on-time and within budget. They hire and manage subcontractors, pull permits, buy materials, and handle issues related to liability and warranties.
While it's important to get quotes from at least 3 contractors before hiring anyone and to watch out for warning signs (for example, if they request the entire payment upfront), it can be equally as important to make sure they are nearby. Contractors in your area can negotiate better prices for materials and labor, can source local materials, and typically know your area's code requirements.
