After having an electrical fire at my moms house we were looking for a contractor we interviewed a lot of contractors and then we met with Tal Winograd from GroundUp-Builders . They came up with the most complete estimate The best reviews and referrals in my neighborhood. We did have some difficulty since my mom's age to get the funds to do the job and the team took care of us and provided all the necessary plans to go forward with this project. This project ended up to be roofing re-wiring for the whole house with the new upgraded electrical panel we did go through with remodeling the whole house brand-new kitchen that we love to use when the whole family get together for holidays. And the new bathroom to accommodate my mom's age that we really appreciate having! The house is much safer right now. And the job was done beautifully. They just finished installing the new windows and love them! My next project would be to do the landscaping I saw already few of their jobs and this is what we would love to get for mom! And we do love the fact that everything be done is energy efficient and would save us a lot of money in the future with cooling and heating the place. They did start of the job on time and finished it as we expected even faster than what they quoted us. Thank you GroundUp-Builders.

So this a review that has been along time coming. But I need to clarify where we are in the process with GUB. We haven't started the project yet, but this is our experience with the vetting process and why we chose Adi and GUB. They are helping us with our back yard hardscape and landscape project. Pavers, artificial turf and DG. Like most of you looking for help with a project like this, you're gonna do your homework and really learn what you're getting yourself into. We met Adi with GUB after meeting three other providers and still met with three more following his initial visit. Adi has really taken great care of us so far. That initial appointment was supposed to be 2 hours, but because of our questions and his insights , we spend the day making the vision we wanted. Mind you, we didn't sign with him that day. We still wanted to feel the market and get more quotes. And Adi and GUB were not the cheapest. We still spent about $5k more than the next group, but we really see the value in going with them. I visited a job site that Adi had managed and saw great work and great experiences from those home owners. So my next review will be base on the work that Adi and his crew at GUB will do, but thus far, we have had an amazing experience with Adi and GUB. He really has earned our business. I really think his efforts thus far will be indicative of the finished project. He's worth the call. He'll treat you like family and help you turn your vision into reality. Stay tuned for photos and another review of the finished project!

We were extremely pleased with the work that Ground Up Builders did in remodeling our small master bath. We worked with Uzi, who adhered to the contract in terms of price, terms and completion date, we ran into a small unforeseen delay, as was still able to complete In the give time frame! The crew minimize disruption to the household (dust containment, etc.), ensuring to work around the children’s nap schedules and and do a thorough clean-up job each day. They were very conscientious about every detail and makes sure the quality of Ground Up Builders workers' work is where it needs to be. Our project manager communicated about every step of the process that requires decisions by the homeowner and was good at explaining what needs to be done. The entire Ground Up Builders team was pleasant to work with and patient with inexperienced clients who need extra explanation of the process. We hope to hire them again for a second bathroom remodel and a partial kitchen remodel.

We too checked out solar from a few companies, and went with GROUND UP BUILDERS due to their great customer service and reasonable prices. - Despite a very busy schedule - they were able to fit us in on time + and at budget. We even had them arrange some extra electrical and roof work, which worked out very well. Highly recommended. Thank you guys

Ground Up Builders just installed a 8.415kW system on my house. The process was smoother than I could have imagined. The installers and office staff were very knowledgeable and walked us through every step. We also had them do an energy audit and seal our air conditioning ducts, add insulation in our attic, and install sunscreens. Through out the entire process we were in very close contact with the owner Uzi. He was extremely helpful and made the entire experience a great one. I highly recommend Ground Up Builders to anyone!!!!

installation was completed efficiently and way quicker than I had imagined. the installers were respectful, and accommodating to paint our conduit and match to exterior paint. We had some delay in getting the site inspection approved as the city inspector requested changes to the design. The corrective action was completed and the site passed the next inspection. Uzi and his team were very responsive with status updates via emails and phone calls. Overall a satisfied customer so far .. will be happy to recommend this company to my friends.

My wife and I decided to look In to getting solar panels since we were paying an arm and a leg for our power bill every couple of months. We had about 3 or 4 companies come out and pitch to us how much we would save and all the other facts. once Uzi came to make his presentation, he was more clear and realistic than any other company. he worked with our finances and got us all set up! I highly recommend using this company for your solar or at least having them come out to enlighten you! HEY,,,, it makes sense!!

Overall the experience met our expectations. It has been a great pleasure working with Uzi and him team of PROS.
Description of Work: In the purchase of our Solar power system we were impressed with Ground Up Builders professionalism. Prior to the installation there team assessed our electrical requirements and surveyed our home to determine the optimum positioning of the solar equipment. Also, during the installation, the installers communicated to us the procedures that were going to take place. They were well prepared and careful to not damage our landscaping and cleaned up immediately after each part of the job was completed. After the installation was completed they explained the systems operation and procedure for the utility company to switch the system on. We are extremely happy with our new solar. Our system has been operating 100% to our satisfaction. Overall the experience met our expectations.

Timely manner, professional, clean and prompt. If there was ever a problem, the management team responded within hours with emails and phone calls really wanting to know all of the details. The supervisor Uzi, promptly addressed any issue we had, (and they were very minor) and we also received a note from the owner! Talk about service! From installation to activation, the operation has been flawless! We are kept inform on every aspect of the system. Direct instructions to reboot the meter if needed, how to go on-line and monitor the performance, even were instructed on how to watch the "electric company" meter run in reverse! Real savings right before your eyes. The financial aspect of the agreement transpired exactly as described. Uzi, surveyor, and the service crew made the experience worth while. Going solar was one of the smartest investments we could have made and we are very pleased with the entire operation of Ground Up Builders!
Description of Work: We had our panels installed in my office building in Tarzana.

It went great. The contractor and his crews were professional and always cleaned up at the end of each day.They went to great lengths to make sure that things were done to my satisfaction. Through several projects over the last couple of years I have grown to rely on Ground Up for any questions that being a homeowner might bring.

He was the lowest bid. I saw the work across the street that they did. That house was exactly the same condition as my house. I saw that they had done a really nice job. He gave me estimates for doing the kitchen because I am doing all kinds of stuff to the house. He seemed honest.
