Putting Green Installers in Sherman Oaks, CA

"I had just finished working with three different contractors on separate projects inside of our new home and wanted to renovate our backyard before hosting a baby shower at the end of the following month. That concentrated experience with different companies (some of which less ideal than others) left me a bit apprehensive but also helped set a standard when it came to finding the right company to revamp our backyard. Upon first meeting Oz and Brandon at our consultation, they far exceeded my expectations when it came to customer service. Sure, they took measurements of our yard and we discussed the scope of the project. However, they also took time to tell me about themselves and their work, and to get to know me and what my goals were for both the final backyard result and the process getting there. Time, affordability, quality, and professionalism were all important to me and I can honestly say that Encore Builders was able to meet all of my needs without drastically sacrificing one for another. As for their communication skills? Before, during, and after this whole experience: grade A. Before we officially decided to green-light Encore and their services, I was waiting on my other half to return home from working out of state so that he and I could discuss, in person. In the meantime, Brandon regularly followed-up via telephone calls - and never in a badgering or pushy manner. It was the perfect level of professionalism I would expect from a successful business. He genuinely wanted to make sure that we were comfortable with the information they provided and that we had a clear understanding of what our options were. For example, they initially recommended utilizing their designer to generate ideas for our backyard but the vision we had seemed relatively straightforward (I even provided rough measurements for it). We decided to forgo the designer and draw out a plan together because they were determined to help make our yard as close to our vision as possible without breaking the bank. After material costs were confirmed, Oz and Brandon would regularly text me with new ideas (minor, but money-saving tweaks) that would help us stay within budget. As far as when the project started, if Oz had not already physically stopped by to check in, he was calling me at the end of the each day to go over the happenings and discuss what I should expect the following day. He also made purchasing materials from suppliers a breeze by doing all of the legwork and acting as an intermediary for the payment process. Then there was the crew who truly cared about their quality of work. Yes, there were a few errors and minor overlooked details along the way - that is inevitable. But unlike the experience I had with previous contractors, the crew was receptive to my concerns, more than willing to correct the matter, and never once made me feel uncomfortable or bad for pointing it out in the first place. And these guys were really putting in the work. Due to an impending storm, we had (rotating) crew members here 7 days straight while our project was completed in 10 days (the bulk of which consisted of demoing, grading, resloping, and replacing 1400sf half grass/half concrete yard with brick/pavers and artificial turf). Of course, at the end of the day, Encore is running a business and making a living but they are incredibly easy to work with and are altruistic when it comes to giving their clients a beautiful yard. They even sent a team back to seal our pavers for us when we inquired about it (paver sealing is not an inherent service). We are over the moon with our results and despite my other half previously advocating for real grass, our artificial turf is so vibrant and convenient that he is eager to get some in our front yard, as well. To be clear, we absolutely plan on renovating our front yard in the near future and will ONLY be calling Encore. Thank you, you have all been phenomenal."

"Cory and his guys converted our urine scented dirt patch into a backyard we will now spend time in! From the estimate to the completion, everything was seamless! Extremely professional and courteous. And as for the final product, we are so happy with it we are now considering doing our front yard! Highly recommend!"

"Solid work, great customer service and quick. They installed putting green and 2 kinds of artificial grass. They gave us sound advice on how to get the most out of our budget and dream lawn.

"The team at Pure Home Remodeling did a fantastic job. We have completed two renovations with Pure Home Remodeling and the second one was just recently. They converted our existing master suite to an additional bedroom with walk-in closets, painted the hallway with addition of crown molding and remodeled the patio. In the patio, they did all the hard-scape (fire pit/table and BBQ area). The paperwork from the estimate all the way to the finish of the work, was organized in details and they finished the entire work with a minor delay. Most of the delays happened because there were several issues with the materials that we purchased and they were not in stock. Most project issues that were raised during the work, were handled professionally by our project manager, his team and subcontractors which helped tremendously in solving them quickly and efficiently. We can't be happier with this entire experience with them and mainly with the way this remodeling came out, because we know personally about bad cases where work was not done professionally OR they were abandon in the middle. We are very thankful that our remodeling project went like that."

"The fence is beautiful and was finished on time. The initial quote was a bit too much but we worked it out."

"I loved working with Ron and his team. They implemented the plan I had in mind and were super collaborative. It's made my backyard more useable and enjoyable."

"We have had our beautiful new roof for a year now and I am so happy to come home and look up to see the best roof on the block! My roof project was a full tear off. The 40 year old relic they removed was shake shingle with 6-7 layers of asphalt paper. We scoured the market to find a roofer at a price two young newlyweds could manage in an emergency situation (a leak penetrated the bathroom ceiling and destroyed half the plaster above, we could not wait). Sears brought us to Reliable Roofing and I count not be more satisfied with their speed and professionalism. Thank you so much for putting a reliable roof over our heads!"
