    I am beyond happy with the level of care advanced builders provides. The attention to detail and customer service is second to none. Nick and his team were extremely hands on. They helped me from the very beginning and held my hand from the beginning of the construction project all the way to completion of construction. There are so many decisions to make when it comes to building a new house. Theres so many people that you have to meet with and make so many decisions that sometimes this becomes overwhelming. What I liked about the ABC is that stuck with what they were good at and if something came up that they were not experienced in for example doing the actual plans , they introduced me to an architect and an engineer who did the plans for me. ABC and Nick were an easy decision for me. Because they made the process as simple as possible. They didnt sugarcoat anything. They always told me the truth whether there was good news or bad news. Several times throughout the project Nick would call me and tell me that they had come up against an obstacle and that he was working on a plan. Even though sometimes it was very stressful to get this news. I really like his transparency because it meant that he cared about the project and that he wanted to see it through. In life there are lots of different people that come and go and that promise you things that they can do. But Im here to tell you that Nick is not one of those guys and he actually does what he says. Throughout the entire project he was very transparent, he was always able to tell us the truth even though sometimes it was very stressful for us. He always answered his phone and got back to us. He made sure that his crews worked long hours and made significant progress everyday. His Cruise were extremely detailed oriented and they actually cared about the outcome of the project. Not only did they care about their progress but they also cared about the progress of the other team members so that team could finish up a certain portion of the project and be able to hand it over to the other team in timely manner. Nick promised to build me a custom modern house and thats exactly what he did. I couldnt have made a better choice and I am certain that the work provided by Nick and his team is incomparable.

    When we purchased our home a few years ago we knew the look we wanted but didnā€™t know where to start. Calling ABC was an excellent decision. We told them what we wanted to do and they gave us all the steps. They referred us to an architect who had done similar work. ABC kept up with us and once we had our plans, we got an estimate from them and a couple other contractors. They never pressured us to go with them but we felt comfortable with them and they seemed like the best fit. So happy with our choice! We did a full kitchen remodel including knocking down walls, adding arches, adding two bedrooms, added a massive glass door. Pool and landscaping and updated the whole house from top to bottom, changed all the flooring. It looks like a new home! We love it! The ABC team was always available and fixed any issues that came up. Went above and beyond! Answered all of our questions, were very patient with design changes. ABC Thank you so much for everything!

    ABC is a first class company from the bottom to the top. They made the entire process clear and transparent for us from day one. Their customer service is one of the best that I have ever dealt with when it comes to a construction company. Nick the owner was very involved with us and reassured us every step of the way. By following his and his contractors direction we added tremendous value to the home. Nick and is very detailed oriented and demanded high quality from his contractors. One thing we loved about ABC is that they always provided us different options that would suffice our budget. Based off of our budget renew what we could afford and hence we were able to add value to the home. A lot of the ideas that we thought of from day one quickly changed once we realized how much things cost and how much value they would add to our home. Another benefit of working with Nick was that he was very patient and took the time to explain to us in great detail how each step of the process would work. When it was time to remodel our kitchen he brought in a kitchen designer who completely blew us away with her ideas and ultimately we ended up going with her design rather than our own design. We would have never thought of opening up the kitchen the way she did and adding an island. I know in the background that Nick and the kitchen designer worked many hours to come up with the ultimate design and plan that would make us happy. I would like to add that I am extremely happy with this company and would like to thank all their office staff and of course all of the contractors that came to our house to work.

    My partner and I bought a home in Encino. From the beginning of our home journey we knew we wanted to buy a fixer and add to it. I had a good experience with the realtor, and thats who recommended advanced builders and contractors. She said she knows of this company and had referred them out to her previous clients who had done home remodeling with them. We had several different ideas and wanted to see what would make the most sense. We met Nick very early on in the process. He came out and probably spent a good 2 hours with us going over our remodeling ideas and what would make the most sense for the flow of the house. We had a bunch of rooms next to each other and really wanted to have an open concept home. So he recommended how we could remove some of the walls and have a great room this way our living room dining room and kitchen will all now be one room. In order to accomplish that we had to remove some walls redo some of our framing and obviously add foundation. Advanced builders and contractors took care of all the construction we just gave them ideas and what we wanted the different rooms to look like. The pricing was reasonable and they were always there when we needed the support or help. When we compared their clothes to other construction companies. There were almost identical but we just had a better feeling with advanced builders and contractors. I also appreciate everyone in their office staff because about once a week they would reach out to us to get an update on the project, they werent too pushy but you can see that they really cared about their clients. I also appreciated the fact that they were in business for so long and had so many vendors that we could go to. This made the process much easier for us because it was a easy transaction from the vendor to the general contractor who was going to build our house. This is also a good time to thank the architect and engineer they introduced us to because they gave us a lot of good feedback and great guidance on how we should restructure this house to be able to get the maximum usable space out of it. It was probably two or three intense meetings with everyone involved from the foundation people to the architect. Those meetings were extremely important because since we had everyone in one room we were able to come up with a great set of plans that would fit our budget and we knew exactly what needed to be done. And everyone was able to participate and put in their two cents. Overall Im very happy with everyone that worked on our home.

    Advanced builders and contractors did a great job on our home remodeling. The project manager was Nick, he was very responsive to phone calls and texts. We like to communicating with him because he would send out a group chat with everyone involved so we would always know whats going on that day. We also like the fact that he would give us any updates on setbacks or issues that we had to deal with. Near the end of our remodeling process we had several days where there were heavy rains and they couldnt work outside so Nick woul always give us a heads up on what would happen if we miss the particular day and we have to make it up. The results were better than we expected. Overall I think I got a pretty good value for my money. We know that this is not going to be our forever home and that we will be relocating to some other parts of Los Angeles and the near future. So when that time comes and if we need any remodeling in that house we will definitely use this company again.

    What I liked about this general contractor is that they had a simple approach to building your home. Everything was broken down into plain English. There was no extra sales tactic to buy more and they delivered on what they would do. More so I liked the fact that their pricing was fair and everything was written down and broken out. So we knew exactly what was included in our contract and how much it would cost to build our house. We looked into three different general contractors and all of them were good. We chose advanced builders and contractors because they stood out to us to be the best choice for us as a contractor. If youre looking for a general contractor who returns phone calls and replies back to emails in a timely manner. This is the general contractor to call.

    The advantage of working with advanced builders and contractors versus other contractors was that they really cared about the outcome. Nick spent so much time with us preparing us on what was coming up, what was still on the table and what we had to accomplish. He worked hand in hand with our architect and sometimes even our engineer to be able to scale the project back to make sure that we could fit it in our budget. There was several meetings that were pretty critical because once we got the contractor and the engineers together then they were able to communicate in their own language and to come up with a set of plans that we could then use for our renovations. We had done other smaller models in the past but this was way out of our league and we definitely needed professional help. For example, the last architect and engineer we used to do the small remodels told us right away as soon as we hit them with this big project that it was out of their league and they would not be comfortable giving us a set of plans that would get approved by the city of LA. Thats how we found Nick. Our architect new him from previous projects and I knew that he would be a good fit for us. If you have a large scale renovation coming up I recommend you call these guys. We had a positive outcome with them.

    This company did an amazing job and we couldnt be any happier with the services they provided for our new home! We had bought an older home and werent sure if we wanted to remodel it or tear it down and build a new construction house. After a while of living in the house we decided that it would be best for us to tear it down and build a new home. We found an architect who had reasonable prices and was able to see our vision with the new home. When our plans were almost done. We started looking for general contractors. Our architects gave us a couple of recommendations but they didnt really pan out and their budgets were not realistic with ours. We asked several colleagues and friends for recommendations of general contractors, but those also were not such a great fit for us because of the timeline they gave us and because it just wasnt good chemistry. At this point I think we had interviewed about five general contractors and none of them had worked out. While we were still researching on our own to find a general contractor out of the blue, the architect got in touch with us and told us to try yet another general contractor. He said that he had worked with him in the past and had great results. That general contractor turned out to be Nick. Initially our architect didnt recommend him because he was busy. But lucky for us he was about to finish up a couple of projects so he would be able to take ours project on in about 2 months when we were expecting our permits anyways. From the very beginning we liked Nick. We explained to him that we are budget conscious and that we had picked out specific materials to be used in the new home. We worked very closely with him from the beginning to the successful completion. We are extremely happy with the outcome of our new home. I would without a doubt refer them to anyone who needs any home services. Thanks ABC!

    I was looking to get some work done on my home and I was referred to Advanced Builders & Contractors from an interior designer friend of mine. Of course I compared them with a few other contractors just to be sure but ended up choosing to hire them. I knew how to draw out what I wanted but still hired an architect to make the plans complete and make sure everything was correct and to code. Once we got everything passed through the city, ABC literally had people on the jobsite the next week after the permit was cleared, ready to work. Their workers are very good, and were always respectful. I had the second story of my home turned into a master suite. I Really love how it turned out. They helped me make sure the addition was insulated well enough so Im not bothered by any noise from the upstairs which was really important to me and the addition looks very natural with the existing home. I will be calling them again should I need any more work done. Couldnt be happier!

  • Review 10 (2021-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    I really liked working with Advanced builders and contractors because they gave me options. They were open-minded and always thought out of the box. If one of the options they gave me didnt work out or we didnt like they would think of another way to handle the project. As Im sure you can imagine, whenever you are dealing with a huge remodeling project there are many decisions to make. I really liked the way they handled themselves and the service they gave us. Sometimes on a big remodeling project like this the decisions become overwhelming so Im glad we had bright individuals who were able to help us through our remodeling project. Not everything went according to plans. Sometimes we had to alter and deviate from the original building plans. But they stuck to the architectural plans as much as possible to give us the desired layout that we had hoped for from day one. I really enjoyed the process of how our piece of land was ultimately turned into a modern home masterpiece. One word of advice I would give to any homeowner whos looking to do a complete remodel of their home is that you need to have a lot of patience. And that you should be open to change and open to newer ideas. You should also give yourself a lot of time and expect that there are going to be changes in the original City plans that were approved by building a safety. As I learned while I was doing this project even if youre able to get 90% of your wish list you should be happy because there are a lot of ripple effects when it comes to construction. Sometimes one piece of footing and foundation is in the way of a specific wall which affects your drywall which affects your stucco which affects your ceiling which affects your plumbing and light fixtures etc and etc. So just take it easy and relax and do the best that you can with the options that are the easiest for you to be happy with.

    Our home family had outgrown our home. We had two options either to move to a bigger home with more bedrooms and bathrooms to be able to accommodate us or to extend and do a room addition either in the back of the home or as a second story addition. One of my co-workers had done a second story addition and was raving all about it. Just like us he didnt want to eat up room from his backyard so he decided to go up and do a addition on top his first floor rather than going out. He had told me that it was expensive to do what he did because he pretty much had to rebuild the first floor as well as doing the second floor addition. I couldnt understand why he just told me thats the way it is. I didnt have any construction experience nor am I handy. Me and my family had an idea of what we wanted but didnt really know how to implement it. Who started calling around to different construction companies just trying to grasp the idea of how to begin. Most of them didnt take us seriously I told us that we would need plans. Advance also told us we need plans. But they explained to us why we need plans. They were very thorough in explaining the process to us I told us that once we got our plans approved to call them back. And they would be able to provide us a quote for the room edition and for the remodeling of the first floor. It took us nearly about a year just to get these plans approved. We started construction right away. I didnt really love the experience. Not because of the fault of the contractor but because we were out of our home and living in a small rental for a year and a half. A lot of our furniture was in storage, the rental was small. And we were paying our mortgage, paying for construction, interest on home equity line of credit, plus we still have to pay for rent. The process was slow everything needed inspection, and it seems like everyone took their time doing things. But there was some positive that came out of this remodel. We now have twice the square footage as before. We have enough bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate for our family. We maintained the same square footage in the backyard and still have enough room to do a pool in the future if we want. Im extremely happy with the outcome just not a huge fan of going through the entire process from plans to the room addition itself to all the remodeling we have to do the first floor and all the concrete foundation we had to reinforce and pour again which was quite expensive. If I could afford it I would probably just sell my existing home and buy a brand new home but the problem was we couldnt afford to move. So we were pretty much stuck with adding to our home and adding the second floor. So buyer beware this is not a fun process. Its going to eat up a lot of your cash and a lot of your time. If youre like me and have a growing family I cant afford a new home then I recommend you think about adding.

    Thank you Advanced Builders and Contractors for all your help! I would like to start by telling you that I think ABC and Nick are a quality construction company. There was no task too small or too big. Nor was there any task that could stop them. Not only were they extremely communicative and professional, but they were very well informed of the codes and regulations of the city of LA. They were able to help me with numerous activities. They got us in touch with the right engineer and architect to design and develop the plans. Then when it came time to submit the plans of the city they actually were at the forefront of speaking to the plan tracker from the city of Los Angeles. In a fairly quick time they were able to get the plans approved and then we were ready to begin construction. Since this was a massive project for us and we had never done such a massive project in our home we were a bit concerned. But from the very beginning you could see that advanced b builders contractors was a quality contractor. Every person on their team knew exactly what needed to be done. Everyone had a schedule that they adhere to. Everyone knew what their role was. And if they had any questions that would always refer back to the set of approved plans and or their Superior. Some of the process in this home remodeling process took longer than expected. What others was fairly quick to be done for example they demolished their entire home within a matter of 3 days. But other things like plumbing and running drainage to the street from the back of the property line to the sidewalk took an immense amount of time. The drainage line had not been touched in many many years and it was very hard for the crew to be able to do it properly. They definitely took their time but at the end Im happy to say that everything works really good. Other things for example like foundation and framing and electrical went by surprisingly very quick. I feel like if we didnt have so many different inspection bodies that the project would have been done in about 8 to 9 months. But because we had to deal with covid and delays as far as the materials and inspectors our project took about 12 months. Im very pleased with the outcome and would refer this company out to anyone. Their staff would show up every day and work very diligently to accomplish what was on task for that day. For the amount of money I paid Im extremely pleased with the outcome. Not only are their services affordable, but they provide excellent customer service. I will be definitely be going to them again in the future.

    I dont think we had any idea when we bought our hillside home, how hard it would be to do an addition let alone a deck of the hill and an infinity pool. We were very attracted to this home because the views were phenomenal, and you could see a lot of the LA skyline. But what we didnt know is how hard it would be to get permits. We thought that you would be able to get permits just like you would any other ordinary home , but we were very wrong. Almost every contractor we talk to would ask us: do you have permits? do you have plans? have you done any soil reports? with out that we can not give you a price. We didnt even know what half of that stuff meant. There are a lot of disadvantages when you have a hillside home one of them being that the city will ask you for many different reports before they will give you permits. Thats exactly what happened to us as soon as we hired an architect to draw out our addition in the back of the hillside, he told us right away that we would need soil and geological reports. He also made us aware of how expensive this project could get especially if we wanted to do a Infinity pool and full addition on the other side of the house, we also wanted to add a deck off of the hill. So going into the process we understood that it would be very expensive but I dont think we had any idea of time, at the end it took about 11 months for the city to be able to approve our final permits. Once we had our permits it was easier to be able to communicate with different contractors because now they ccould understand what we wanted to build and they actually had structural plans. We contacted a few contractors who specialize in hillside ultimately we ended up going with advanced builders and contractors. They demonstrated the best skill set and experience to be able to do our hillside project. They were also able to show us several projects that they had done which included a room addition and a new pool build. It was a massive effort to build the room addition of the back of the home including so much effort into grading and shoring so that the pool and deck would be stable also. Im very grateful to advance builders and contractors for all of the time that they spent on our property perfecting every square inch.

    I did a full demolition and rebuild on our hillside property. Once ourĀ plans were ready I reached out to a few contractors that I found online. Some didnt answer at all and some took weeks to answer. Advanced Builders & Contractors always got back to me no matter what questions I had, after our initial conversation we met at the property and they gave me an estimate. I decided to go with them. They werent theĀ lowest bid, but it was reasonable and I liked the personalĀ service and attention we would receive, and that they had been in business for longer than the rest. I was pleasantlyĀ surprisedĀ that the communication didnt just last until I signed the contract. My project manager always got back to me within an hour or so and usually was reaching out to me keeping me updated and informed. He made sure I was happy with everything and really seemed to care about the result. They didnt cut any corners and kept an eagle-eye on everything, their team is extremelyĀ detail oriented. Beyond my expectations. If you are doing any kind of major construction I suggest checking them out.

    When we bought our home we planned to add a master suite. We had Advanced Builders and Contractors design and build our addition. They took care of everything. We were living on the other part of the house during the construction period and were so excited with the progress. We couldnā€™t wait to move into the new section of our house. The work crew worked every day and got the job done fairly quickly without jeopardizing the quality of their work. Everything looks and feels so solid and beautiful. We are very pleased with our new bathroom and bedroom and enjoy it immensely. This company did a fabulous job and we will be recommending them and hopefully use them again in the future.

    I submitted an online request to remodel my home in particular my bathroom and they were pretty fast in getting back to me! I got a phone call within an hour! They were very accommodating to my schedule and they scheduled an appointment on the weekend! My bathroom was a pretty small and simple bathroom with a single sink vanity and semi custom cabinets. My bathroom had too many lights and I decided to remove some lights and just keep two recessed lights as it was very tiny bathroom. My kitchen now feels spacious and now has a better flow. Overall my home feels and look very bright and clean. My experience with Advanced Builders and Contractors was actually great! From beginning to finish they exceeded my expectations and kept their promise and price at a set price. There were no surprises! I will definitely be calling them backwhen I decide to remodel the rest of my home.

    Our first builder completely went off on his own without consulting us on so many details. He wasted so much time and money with the architect and engineer and wanted to build the house with his own design which was not the vision that we had for our home. After numerous attempts to get this builder to listen to our designer we finally gave up. It was a costly lesson but we learned a great deal.A friend of ours had just built a house with ABC. It seemed like it took them the same amount of time to build their house, that it us to do just plans. I was furious with the last builder and architect and I just wanted a fresh start.ABC was different from the first day we made contact with them you could tell they did things differently. They were prompt to answer our initial phone call, made an appointment right away and gave us the best fit architect and engineer for our project. And explained to us why they would be such good fits for hillside projects.From the day that we met Nick we knew that he was a competent builder. He knew exactly what details to put into the plans and what details that we should leave out of the plans so we get a quicker response from the building and safety. His recommendations were spot on. He hired the right contractors for every scope of work that we needed. It was like an army. There was control everyone knew what to do and when they didnt they would speak to their superiors and find out what the correct steps were.What I came to find out is that every builder does things different, and just because they tell you theyre going to do what you want doesnt always mean that they will. Our first builder was very hard-headed and it was very frustrating to deal with him. We lost so much time and money with our first builder. With Nick things were different he actually listened to us and gave us his input on a lot of things but ultimately he would always say I will build your home the way you want. So many of the final designs came from Nick. What I loved about him is that he would listen to our ideas and tell us the good and the bad. He was open-minded and he wouldnt just rush through the meetings.Nick and all the ABC staff thank you for the support and service. We look forward to seeing your future success.

    We converted our garage into a guest house and updated our backyard. We also had our bathroom expanded to include a standing shower and a double-sink vanity, making a master suite. Our project manager was extremely helpful and patient with us throughout the entire process. ABC wasnt the lowest price we got but they took care of everything. Any issues that came up, they really made sure we were happy and we are glad we stuck with them. All in all, we love the way it came out and we highly recommend the ABC team. Good people, great quality work and customer service.

    My wife and I had never built a house from scratch before and were uncertain of the process. The people at ABC provided us with all information that we needed, they told us that this would be a tedious, and long process but that the outcome would be excellent. All this came out to be correct. The people at ABC did an outstanding job, the service we received was excellent. They treated very well and gave us personal attention for each step of the process. When they had to be flexible they were andwhen they couldnā€™t be fixable to our advantage they would explain: The Building and safety department will not allow a certain feature in your home, or something to that extent, they were some many time I can think of when we were doing the plans that these issues came up. And each time I feel like they let us make the final decision. I truly love that about ABC, they make the process easy for you especially if you have a full time career, and donā€™t know all the building codes of building a new house. We appreciated the expert opinions offered during that process as this was a huge help for us to be able to stick to our estimated time line. I would like to thank Sam as well as Nick for their ability to custom tailor this house to our familys needs. We definitely feel that we received top notch service in all aspects of our house. Ā They quality product used speak highly for themselves.

    We hired Advanced after we interviewed several contractors for our home renovation project. We wanted to tear down a bedroom and bathroom and open up the space to make a larger suite style master with a walk-in closet. Their team is fantastic! Highly professional and exceptionally courteous. Always kept us updated on what was going on, we got to choose all the finished materials and they charged us the same - they never marked up the price or tried to get us to spend more. We got exactly what we wanted and felt comfortable with. Any questions or concerns we had were immediately addressed. Theres just not enough good things I can say about Advanced Builders -- will definitely call them again if we need any other renovations done in our home. Thanks guys!

  • Review 21 (2019-03-14 - Rating: 4)

    I would highly recommend this company to all of my friends and family. It is tough finding good contractors these days. Especially ones that are professional and able to help me properly! I spent about a week look at several contractors. I picked 5 and asked them to come out. Out of them, I picked ABC. They were friendly and very informative. Whenever something would come up, they answered my questions and followed up questions until I understood everything. I didnā€™t feel rushed or pressured, and that is of high importance to me. Whenever there was a big decision to make they gave me a chance to think it out and get back to them in time. From the initial call to Advanced Builders & contractors to the very end of this massive renovation every one involved was hard working and diligent. The only negative experience was that we finished a bit later than we were expecting, but besides that the renovation quality was amazing! I am very happy with the quality and service! I wasnt expecting to have gotten my project done with them in such a great way and timely mannerā€‹! They did such an outstanding job, and the service was excellent.

    Just like with everything else in life theres always quantity and theres always quality. So I dont know why construction would be different. When I was looking to build my family home I wasnt looking for anything else but a quality contractor. A general contractor who would assume all responsibility and pay attention to even the smallest detail. A contractor that would help us with design plans and eventually construction itself. Pull permits and manage the entire process of building my new home addition from demolition and foundation to roofing and flooring - I wanted someone to take care of it all. Advanced was a perfect fit. They take on a limited number of jobs so I got a lot of personal attention. I got to choose all my finishes and design the space exactly as I wanted and stay within my budget. Advanced was a great value, it was like having my own personal construction team of specialists along with a manager who I could reach out to at any time. Wouldnt change a thing and would hire them again.

    Our kitchen was remodeled by Advanced Builders. Originally the kitchen was old and completely uncomfortable to work in and not much to look at. We had an idea of what we wanted the kitchen to look like, and we were very pleased that it was able to be done. Nick showed me actual samples, not just magazines and pictures which made it so much easier to choose materials. The layout we chose worked really well with the space we had. It meant that the plumbing and gas line had to move, but it was nothing this team couldnā€™t manage. While we were at it they changed our plumbing to copper piping instead of the old ones we had. The detailed designs in the tile work, countertop edges, custom cabinets, and flooring is exquisite! During the remodeling, the crew took much care as to not destroy the rest of our home, and we really appreciated that. They arrived on time every morning, and always left a clean work area when they left. In a matter of weeks my kitchen was ready to be used. Itā€™s been 1 year and still no leaks, cracks or any problems. This company is worth every penny.

    We hired Advanced Builders to do a little addition in the back of our house. They built a sunroom with a small powder room for us. We knew what we wanted and it was a fairly simple plan. The project went according to plan. There were no surprises everything went according to plan which was really nice. Everything happened when it was supposed to happen and the guys finished 2 days before the completion date on our contract. We stayed within our budget and we are very pleased with that as well. All of our guests are very impressed with the addition and how beautifully it flows from our house. Advanced Builders did a seamless job and we are proud to tell everyone how wonderful this company is. We also would like to take this opportunity to thank Advanced Builders for their great work. Thank you.

    Advanced Builders and Contractors were in our home recently to do a kitchen remodel/addition. When our home was built back in 1964 for some reason the dining room was double the size of our kitchen which made no sense at all. We had a few contractors come out and give us ideas and ultimately we knew we needed to tear down a wall and enlarge our kitchen and shrink the dining room. So Nick came from Advanced Builders and we clicked right away. He had great ideas and offered the most professional and feasible ideas as to how the remodeling would happen. Once the ball started rolling on the project, it didnā€™t end till my kitchen was complete and ready to be used. That was pretty impressive. The only thing that took some time was ordering the custom cabinets. And Advanced wouldnā€™t start construction until all materials were on hand as to not waste time and make it difficult for me. Doing that ensured that my kitchen went up pretty quickly and efficiently. So now my dining room is a normal size and my kitchen is just perfect. I love the layout (Nicks drawings), and the custom cabinets and all their gadgets and quality and the backsplash is pretty too. The finishing touches are spectacular and the quality workmanship is obvious and impressive to all who see it. I highly recommend this company.

    My bathroom was remodeled by Advanced Builders and Contractors. I am very happy with the final product. The new bathroom is spacious and pleasant. The materials recommended by Sam worked out very well and I couldnā€™t be happier. They got to work very quickly and a lot of progress was done by the end of each day. It took me longer to pick out what I wanted than for the actual work to be done. The rest of my house was not affected by the construction and that pleased me very much. I appreciate the courtesy and respect given to me by this company and would hire them again for another project in the future

    When my husband and I found out I was pregnant we knew I would need to start working from home. We had enough space to extend into the back yard for an office and a nursery. Nick understood that we were on a time crunch and worked very diligently in making this addition for us just in time for the babyā€™s arrival. We left our home during the construction but visited frequently. Sam was in close contact with me a lot and I felt very confident through the whole process. From phase to phase the inspectors were always there signing off and we were on to the next step. I am very impressed at the way the crew is led by Sam. They have lots of experience, and they are good at what they do. Sam had solutions to every concern I had. He installed a super quiet air system and a bit of extra sound-proofing so that when I work the baby wonā€™t be disturbed but still close to me. He also had nice design ideas for both rooms such as, built in shelves and beautiful wood flooring. The rooms were done with just enough time for me to furnish and decorate. This was a great experience. Now, when I am ready to start working I have a beautiful office space that is right next to Sophiaā€™s nursery. We spend lots of time in the nursery and look forward to using our office soon. Iā€™m impressed and pleased with Advanced Builders and Contractors. Their quality work and customer service is worth every penny they ask for.

    After viewing the Advanced Builders reviews I knew this is the company I wanted working on my house. I needed a new retaining wall and hired them to build it for me. It took a bit longer than I would have liked given the building and safety issues and the weather changes, but once the work began it was running quickly and smoothly. I know nothing about retaining walls so I was happy that Nick did. He explained to me what needs to be done and was very confident of his crew and his work. He honestly has every right to feel that confident. His crew work from morning to evening every day! They took care of inspections and permits and all that. I was not disturbed at all and neither were my neighbors. The wall looks strong and sturdy and looks like it can stand up to anything! This was a really good first experience with a building company for me. I thought it would be horrible, but it really wasnā€™t. I am happy to write this great company a good review just like the many I read before I hired them.

    We found Advanced Builders and Contractors on the web. After hiring them to do a very small remodel, we decided to work with them again for our big kitchen remodel. Everyone from the kitchen specialist, foreman, designer, and men completing the day to day work are great to work with. The lines of communication were clear and they dealt with our frequent questions in a friendly and patient manner.We are going to be contacting Advanced Builders and Contractors in the future when we start remodeling our two bathrooms.Last, but not least, we love our new kitchen! It turned out to have much more of a high end feel then we had anticipated.

    Great group of guys and easy to talk to. From the time we had our first appointment with this company that will always be accessible to us whether we emailed them, text them or called them we were always able to get an answer almost immediately. Every once in a while they didnt have the answer for us so they would call us back. But again it was a quick response. What I also liked was that each person knew the trade for the project extremely well. Whether I had an electrical question or plumbing question or something as minor as drywall I was always guaranteed an answer. Building a new home is frustrating enough when you dont know the process let alone when some of these answers keep you up at night. So it gets to be a little bit overwhelming. But thankfully this company was always there to hold our hand and give us the proper support so that we can make the right decisions. I want to thank advanced builders and contractors for doing the superb job. Thank you for all the extra effort making special trips and even going out of your way on the weekends. You guys deserve all the credit for building this home.

    I called Advanced Builders & Contractors to do a bathroom remodel and they were easy to talk to and showed up the next day to do the job. Ron is excellent as a project manager and the crew members who showed up really knew what they were doing and got the job done correctly and showed up on time. My bathroom remodel came out just the way I expected and I will use them again when doing any other job in my home. I highly recommend them for all your home improvement needs.

    We contacted Advanced Builders and asked them to draw us some plans for a new addition of about 600sqft to include a bathroom and a nursery as we were expecting our second child. We were hesitant and told them that if things went well we will discuss the project. Within a real short amount of time they showed me our plans. They were approved and ready to go! We were very pleased with the way they worked and decided to have Advanced do the construction on our addition as well. I was nervous that the work would not be completed in time for the babyā€™s arrival, but the guys assured me I had nothing to worry about. They were right. We had just enough time to furnish the room. We were home during time of construction and honestly it wasnā€™t too bad. The crew was polite and really respected us and our home. They were very careful and cautious in their work and always kept our home as clean as possible. Their attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship made our bathroom such a beautiful addition. We are very very pleased with the result. Sam is a perfectionist, and boy am I glad about that! He made sure every tile was placed correctly and that every door knob was perfectly positioned. I couldnā€™t have asked for more. They really did everything well. I definitely recommend them.

    After 18+ months of searching for a contractor to remodel my bathroom, I finally came upon Advanced Builders and Contractors. Ive had several contractors walk through in that period, none of which I feel were as knowledgeable nor as giving with their advice or ideas. The project manager with ABC had a genuine trustworthiness about him and that to me was important, not to mention he understood that I was looking for --a period 1920s feel and that, I had a very clear idea of what exactly I wanted.The job was a total gut to the studs and rebuild; only the bathtub remained that too because it was period and at ABCā€™s recommendation we had it re-glazed.The crew that they surround themselves with are not only professional but also have great pride in the work they do. The project manager who came out and was on the job was super accommodating and always willing to iron out the creases as they came up -which in truth werent many and mostly it was me wanting things done a certain way (normally harder) to get the exact look I wanted.When I purchased the tile they were always at hand to answer any questions or concerns and worked hard to fix any surprises/issues that came up.I couldnt be more happier with the remodel finish and the work done by this crew.Eyes closed, Id hire Advanced Builders and Contractors to do any work within the my home here and wherever else I may move. Thank you guys!!!

    We did a design and build of our garage with Advanced Builders. It was fairly simple, we originally had a car port and opted to get rid of that and have an actual 2 car garage. They did a great job from beginning to end with all the plans, permits, inspections, building, all of it. We had them install proper plumbing and additional electrical work for possible future options. I personally hate dealing with all these things so it was nice to have a reliable company who took care of everything. There were no set backs or surprises, our project went very smoothly through completion. The finish is great and everything is working properly, I am very pleased.

    I own a property in Los Angeles. The tenant living in it called me to let me know that the bathroom floor was getting messed up from a leak that was not fixed by numerous plumbers that have come by in the past. I had contacted Advanced Builders after reading all the great reviews on Angieā€™s List. I couldnā€™t afford to hire an unknown and unreliable company because this issue needed to be fixed properly and efficiently. Advanced fixed the leak and remodeled the bathroom. My tenant is very pleased and tells me that the company I chose did a wonderful job. Iā€™m very grateful that we were a good match, as I do not live in the area and am never there in person. They are extremely reliable and they get the job done! There is no more leaking and the pictures I have seen show a nice remodeled bathroom. They are now my go-to-contractor for any remodeling my property will need.

    We live on a hillside and needed a retaining wall along our property line. Advanced Builders came very well prepared with diagrams and pictures from previous retaining walls they had built for their clients. It was very obvious that they knew what they were doing, and I didnā€™t hesitate at all having them do the job. They took care of everything. All drawings and engineering was done by Advanced, they ran reports, pulled permits and took care of inspections. Itā€™s nice to have a company that will do it all, especially because I have no idea what a retaining wall project entails. They were very respectful of my property by not destroying my plants and landscape. I was out of town for most of the process and was very pleased when my neighbors who were watching over my house said that there were no complaints from surrounding neighbors. All in all, Advanced did a great job!

    Advanced Builders remodeled our kidsā€™ bathroom. Before the remodeling the bathroom was not kid friendly at all. We had them put in a tub, and a double sink vanity. The kids are very happy they no longer need to take turns brushing their teeth in the morning. They also love the color of their bathroom which Sam chose. The job was done quickly and we have no complaints. Thank you to the crew who were quick, efficient are respectful of our home and children. We recommend this company to anyone looking for a general contractor for their bathroom remodel.

  • Review 38 (2023-06-27 - Rating: 5)

    Just like many other homeowners when it comes to an extensive construction project you really dont know the proper steps or where to start. My partner and I started looking around at different websites and trying to understand what we wanted. We finally came up with what we envisioned our new home to look like. It turns out that this was not going to be just a simple home remodeling. There were so many moving parts that it was hard to understand sometimes. You speak to an architect first to develop a full set of plans or do you speak to a contractor first to get a idea of cost. We started interviewing several contractors all of them were good and gave us an idea of how we should approach our home remodeling. Some of them said that it would be better for us to knock the home down and start building from scratch others told us that it would be better just to extend and add a room addition to the side and back of the home. It seemed like we were more confused than the beginning. Then we interviewed a couple of architects. Which let me tell you their prices were all over the place. One of the architects wanted to charge us on a hourly basis while others would work on the entire file from beginning to end for flat feet. Somehow we landed on advanced builders and contractors. We met with Nick early in the spring. Just like the rest of the contractors we met with he was extremely professional and took his time explaining the process. He was intuitive and fully engaged. His answers were to the point short and easy to understand. In a way you could say that he didnt sugar coat anything but rather was very cantor. I remember the meeting being extremely insightful and eye opening. It was after that meeting when we decided that Nick would be a good contractor for us to work with. But we still had a long way to go. We have to come up with a design that would work with our house, the architect would need to draw up the plans so that it made sense and then afterwards we will need to submit everything to an engineer to see how bad or good the structural would be and after all that we could take everything back to Nick to see that if we could afford to do such a project. It took us a good year to get a complete set of plans. Throughout that time Nick would reach out to us every once in a while and ask if we had any questions. Once we had a good standing on all the plans we then submitted to the city of LA. Once we had our permits we were ready to begin construction. We found a house nearby where we leased it out and then we began construction. ABC quickly tore down our existing home and the construction on the new home began. The entire process lasted for a bit more than a year. From the beginning they had given us a strict timeline to follow. Explain to us what materials we would need and when we would need it at the house. That also giving us a progress payment to follow. Nick was an integral part of the building process. Once again he was very resourceful for finding the materials we needed. We were able to use a lot of his vendors to source out the materials we needed. Our new home is now built and we couldnt be happier with the end results. If youre looking for a contractor to build I highly recommend that you if you at least and to make sure that you click with someone that makes sense to you. The same gos for an architect although theres a lot of good architects out there. The way theyre on their business and the way they do their billing is very different. One other tip I would give you is to ask a lot of questions because once you settle with an architect and a contractor its hard to go back and start the process with someone else.

    Advanced Builders and Contractors completely remodeled my garage. Originally it was a two door garage, now its 3 with a suite on top which is now my office. I really love what they did. This was a design/ build project and I am sooo happy about that. Having drawn up our plans they knew what was going on and the construction went very smoothly. Everything looks wonderful and I love my office. Having a bigger garage was a great addition to my home.

    We had an open huge balcony on the second floor of our home. We hired Advanced Builders to enclose it and add a bathroom inside. They did a great job! The flooring and roof were a great idea. They look fabulous. The bathroom was a wonderful addition as well. The travertine tile is beautiful and I love the bamboo flooring. When I showed Sam what I had in mind he knew exactly what samples to bring, I loved them all! He helped me choose once I narrowed down my options. What a life saver! The whole dĆ©cor is very sleek and modern and I am very pleased with our selections. Advanced was also a pleasure to work with. The crew was polite and respectful. They were there every day making sure my project was progressing as promised. There was a supervisor here every day as well. Itā€™s so fun to be in this new area of our home perfect for entertaining. We really enjoy it. Thank you Advanced for great quality work!

    Today I was sitting in our sunroom and was admiring this lovely addition. We built this sunroom about a few months ago, and now that the weather has cleared it is definitely a spot we use often. Advanced Builders did a great job and I am very happy with the outcome. We were not in any rush, yet they completed this project before the contracted date. They drew up the plans and built it accordingly with no setbacks which was pretty impressive. We had them put in a little wet-bar area in there and now we spend lots of family time in there. I write this little message to show gratitude to Advanced as they deserve some kind words to let people know that this is definitely a company to hire for any remodeling project!

    Advanced Builders & Contractors are one of the best in the business. About six years ago ABC did a full home remodel to my house in Hollywood Hills. This time, we had them build an infinity pool. My home has gone from a dated 1960s house to a full designer resort. The owner (who managed the project personally) takes pride in his company, their work, his crews, and him keeping his word. He takes his time to understand what you want and makes sure your plans will work. Building this pool was daunting process but he was there answering any questions every step of the way. Every person that represents ABC is clean, on time and is meticulous in their work. Their work and follow up is excellent, getting past inspections was easy because they know what theyre doing. Not only were they professional and pleasant but ABC treated us like family. We have referred ABC anytime we hear someone looking for quality work and if I ever end up doing another construction project, they are who I will be calling.

  • Review 54 (2021-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    One word to sum up my experience with them would be transparency. Nick was very transparent with us from day one. He would always give us options, he would always tell us about time, he would always communicate with us, he was more of a friend than a contractor. Out of the contractors that we met he was the only general contractor who was willing to bring on a kitchen designer at his expense to give us different design layouts for the kitchen. We ultimately ended up using the designer and not just for the kitchen but for the rest of the house as well. Nick was diligent with his work and very self-sufficient; he didnt need any orders and I felt he had everything under control. Once we would decide on a particular item, immediately the preparation and installation would begin. Im sure there are plenty of general contractors in the Los Angeles area but Im glad that we picked advanced builders and contractors with the direction of Nick.

    I was looking for a company to do a room addition and my friend recommended Advanced Builders and Contractors. I thought that adding a room would just be to hire and construction company and build it. Turns out I needed plans, inspections and a couple other little bumps I faced along the way. Advanced Builders and Contractors guided me through the whole process. They provided their architect and took care of all the inspections and permits.I didnā€™t have to worry about one thing. They took care of absolutely everything. Their whole crew showed up to work every day and the most important thing to me was that they cleaned after themselves. The project manager whose name is Ron was here to check up on his crew and here to answer any questions I had. I definitely recommend ABC.

    Advanced Builders are great builders. They added a room to our existing home and it is done very well. It matches nicely with our existing house. Our addition was 445 sqft and is now a bedroom and attached bathroom. They took over the entire project from beginning to end. They took care of permitting and were there for every inspection and passed on the first time the inspector would come, per phase completed on the project. I was very pleased throughout construction. Sam was there every day and dealt with everything that came up very professionally with really good solutions. The crew was polite and very busy. They worked well and it showed. Our addition is perfect. It looks as if it has always been there. I couldnā€™t be happier, and I suggest others hire Advanced as we did.

    We planned to do a room addition this past summer. We got as far as the initial consultation and a few phone conversations with Nick from Advanced Builders and Contractors. Unfortunately we could not move forward because of an unfortunate family emergency, but I felt it necessary to express my thanks for their help. From the initial conversation over the phone I could tell how professional they were. They asked me a series of questions and determined that it would be best if Nick came to meet me to discuss my project. I was very excited. We met the following week and clicked right away. He gave me fabulous ideas based on the things I told him I liked and wanted. He got back to me with a proposal for the work we discussed within the week and followed up with me frequently. A couple of months later I had to tell him that unfortunately we would be putting the project on hold to resolve our unforeseen family situation, and he was very understanding. When things go back to normal I do plan on calling him back and pick up where we left off. I met with many contractors at the time, but he was the most honest without just selling me on the higher, bigger, money making project. He helped me organize my ideas and get a much better idea of whatā€™s a dream and what is realistic. I am truly grateful for their insight and hope to work with them soon!

    I called Advanced Builders and Contractors for 3 different projects which will happen in stages. Our first project was just completed and Iā€™m sooooo excited about it. We started with our master suite. Originally our room was very big and our bathroom was really small, so obviously this was convenient for enlarging the bathroom. Nick came out and we bounced ideas off each other until we finally came up with a plan we loved. The project began shortly after we finalized the plans and contract which was already a great way to start a project. Both the bathroom and bedroom were worked on simultaneously which speeded up the construction. A jet tub was installed, a custom made vanity and cabinets, and stunning mosaic tiled walls were installed as well. The bedroom is smaller but still very roomy and comfortable. The floors are a beautiful bamboo wood and the walls are textured and painted beautifully. Crown molding was the final touch on the room and everything is tied together really well. I am so glad that Advanced handled my project, and I look forward to begin the childrenā€™s side this summer. Itā€™s comforting to now know what to expect from this wonderful company. Excellence! Thatā€™s what I expect because thatā€™s what they deliver!
