Description of Work: CCC no showed for appointment. Contacted office to schedule written estimate for garage repair. Confirmed date and time with receptionist. Was told Nir would be the one who would be coming by. Was advised estimate would be $500 since I was not the owner of the property (normally would be a free service). Asked for his phone number in case plans changed but receptionist stated office would be open all day and I could call them. I again called the office the day of appointment to confirm but there was no answer despite their assurances they would be "open" so I left a message to re-confirm appointment. To make a long story short, they never showed for the appointment. After making 5 phone calls I finally received a call back from the receptionist an hour after the scheduled appointment asking if someone was trying to call them. I explained the situation. Eventually they found out that Nir had been in a meeting prior to the appointment where there we no cellphone service! Seriously?! The location of the estimate was outside of downtown LA! The owner called to apologize and offered to comp the estimate but at that point, I figured they would probably just jack up the price anyway. In the end it's all about respect and professional courtesy. Don't stiff a paying customer and not show up! If you are going to be late or can't make your appointment, step out and make a call on a pay phone or wherever there is service!

Description of Work: Before purchasing our house in Palos Verdes Estates, we knew that it would require a lot of work. Both my husband and I have Renovation Hardware taste but wanted to renovate with an IKEA budget. The following were the list of must-have items to renovate: (1) gut the master bathroom; (2) enlarge the master closet by relocating the entrance to the master bathroom; (3) move the HVAC unit from the second floor to the attic; (4) move the washer/dryer from the garage to the second floor (where the HVAC used to be); (5) renovate the kitchen; (6) tear down a load-bearing wall separating the kitchen and the family room; (7) install skylights (4 total skylights). During this time, we added a few things here and there as well. My husband is a perfectionist, and calls himself an “amateur architect” and does a lot of DIY stuff around the house, so he knew EXACTLY what he wanted when renovating the home (he created the layout and design, and hired a licensed architect to prepare the drawings for the permits). A friend referred a general contractor to us, and he agreed to do the job within our budget, but we didn’t get a good feeling from him (seemed unorganized, never returned our calls, was over a week late in returning emails, didn’t have a website or reviews online, and kept sending us bids with the wrong information). We’ve heard nightmare stories about contractors, and so decided to play the field and at least consider other contractors. My husband ended up interviewing around 9 other contractors (all while the house was still in escrow, so that we could start renovating immediately after it closed). The primary concerns were as follows: (1) PRICE; and (2) timing, since I was 7 months pregnant when escrow closed and was in a short-term rental until the house was completed. We needed someone to stay within our budget, and complete the job within 2 months. Easy enough right? NO! All 9 contractors were over our budget, and all of them estimated the job to be completed within 3 to 5 months (2 of them charged almost 5 times our budget and estimated 8 to 9 months. WHAT? It was crazy how far apart these bids were for the same job). So my husband and I decided that we had no choice but to increase our budget, and forget about moving in before the baby was born. The escrow closed in August 2016, and we still didn’t have a contractor. My husband and I were stressed out. Coincidentally, when speaking with a friend of mine from business school (she is known to be detail oriented and do more research than the average person, and I respect her opinion), she recommended California Construction Center, and particularly EZ (he goes by “EZ”). She told me that she did tons of research when adding a new room to her home, and said that EZ was very “easy” (no pun intended) to work with, that the price was one of the lowest she received, that the final product was flawless, that he didn’t go over budget, that he completed the job EARLIER than estimated, and he always picked up the phone when she called. Sounded too good to be true, so I called EZ and met with him. Very nice, knowledgeable, professional, organized (created computer model of what our bathroom would look like, similar to the HGTV shows), and super responsive. We met for a second time to go over the bid (estimate), and my husband and I prepared ourselves to be disappointed once again with the price and the length of construction, but told ourselves that as long as it wasn’t crazy numbers, we would hire him because we felt good about him. To our surprise, EZ’s bid was BELOW OUR BUDGET (we told him what our budget was), and he estimated 6 to 8 weeks (he explained that he knew I was giving birth and would do everything he could to get us in our home beforehand). No brainer, we hired him on the spot, especially because we felt absolutely confident with him.

Description of Work: California Construction Center was hired to essentially gut and rebuild a poorly maintained mid-century modern house in a beautiful location, and to build a large second story addition consisting of a master suite, adjoining study, and guest suite. The contractor started work in late May 2016 and this project is currently ongoing. The contractor has completed demolition, framing of the second story, rough plumbing and roofing. Ben is keeping the entire project moving at a great pace. He is just a fantastic person to work with. I am very pleased with his responsiveness and communication. Oz, who is running the crews, has been able to keep all the trades working in coordination with each other and even though it is only partially completed, I can see that all the work has been done to very high standards.
