"Our experience with Suj and So Cal Builders & design was very pleasant. They executed a high quality upgrade to our prior home before we sold/upgraded. We did not want anyone else to renovate our new house. Every step of the remodel was handled in a timely manner. And, honestly, Suj is quite humorous; he creates a very nice environment to be around for his team and clientele."
Completely renovating both the guest and master bathrooms. In the master bathroom, we're installing a spacious walk-in shower featuring dual black-finished shower heads, elegant floating benches, and marble wall tiles. Meanwhile, the guest bathroom will have a sleek built-in tub and stylish hexagon tiles.
This project involved adding a new master bathroom to the existing house. The shower features sleek white subway tiles complemented by striking black fixtures and shower door hardware. The bathroom floor is adorned with elegant white marble tiles, providing a seamless and luxurious finish. A white shaker vanity topped with a white marble countertop completes the space, creating a clean and sophisticated look.

"The KN Remodeling team did an excellent job at our home completely remodeling 3 bathrooms, painting our entire home and rebuilding a huge planter outside. We trusted them in our home while we are out of town almost the entire time. We hired them back to do additional work in our home that they did quickly and expertly. The team was professional, very friendly, worked quickly, quietly, cleanly, and I would highly recommend them."

"The adage “You get what you pay for” rings true with MF Construction. When we were in the market for a general contractor to build our two-bedroom/two-bath ADU in San Marino, we interviewed several general contractors. Mike Maman of MF Construction was one of them. Mike showed us several of his projects as well as his own custom home. We were extremely impressed with the end results. After reviewing several competitive bids, we selected Mike because of his 40+ years of experience in building high-quality homes. During the construction of our ADU, Mike was just a text or phone call away. He kept us informed of upcoming events and visited our job site almost daily, sometimes more than once a day. He was present at all 12 of the City inspections. Every step along the way, we noted the high quality of materials Mike uses from the Ganahl lumber to the thick insulation and roofing paper to the copper pipes and shower hot mop, and mold-resistant drywall. Mike uses materials which meets or exceeds code requirements. Everyone on Mike’s team is extremely skilled in his/her craft, many having worked with him for decades. Mike is old school and does not take any shortcuts. Along with high quality construction and materials, Mike is extremely efficient. Our ADU was completed in four months, as promised. Progress was made every day. From the rough work to the finishes, Mike scheduled his team members just in time which resulted in an extremely efficient and smooth workflow. Mike builds with his heart. His passion is infectious which inspires his team members to do their best work. The results are evident in the finished product. Our neighbors and friends are extremely impressed with the quality and build of our ADU. If you value a well-built home and appreciate attention to detail, you will not be disappointed with Mike Maman. You WILL get what you pay for with MF Construction."

"Axe Construction is the real deal. From start to finish, they handled everything—helping us find the right property, managing the full demo, collaborating on the design of a brand-new home, and executing the entire build. What’s impressive is that they delivered all of this within a 13-month timeframe, which is almost unheard of for a ground-up custom build. Communication was clear, decisions were practical, and the team stayed solution-oriented the entire time. No endless excuses, no finger-pointing—just progress. They understand design, construction, budgets, and timelines, and they know how to keep a project moving without sacrificing quality. The final result exceeded our expectations. The house is beautifully built, thoughtfully designed, and feels solid in every detail. If you’re looking for a contractor who can truly handle a project end-to-end—and actually deliver—Axe Construction is the team you want. Highly recommend."

"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote. Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

"Working with aright builders was an unbelievably satisfying experience …..Jorge and his brother Andy were consummate professionals and they accommodated every request and change order with positivity and good humor and never made me feel like I was asking too much. The finished product was better than I imagined it would be and they got it done in record time to accommodate my granddaughters high school graduation which was no easy feat with the COVID restrictions. I would highly recommend these guys for any home improvement project and if I need something done in the future these would be my guys."

"We moved to Big bear for Hawaii to Build a home, the builder we were going to use was to busy for us, we looked into Home Advisor and Chris Hamilton gave us a call, made an appointment, showed up on site with his employees, introduced each one, very knowledgeable, very accommodating. Worked with what we could afford. Looked over our prints. One week later they started the job, all his guys were always on time at 7:00 am. Chris gave us a time line and it was pretty close, there will always be some human bloopers, that's just part of life. Chris Hamilton's crew were very nice and worked hard. We have a lot of great pictures for anyone interested in viewing them. We, being from out of town, ran into a lot of people looking to take advantage. Thank God we found Chris Hamilton's business ."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Signs that previous home building work requires a redo include unpermitted garage conversions lacking proper insulation or egress windows. Inspect your exterior for non-compliant materials like wood shake roofing or standard mesh vents. In older Altadena homes, look for unreinforced brick chimneys or unbolted crawl spaces that require seismic retrofitting. Finally, check for diagonal foundation cracks indicating soil movement across the CA landscape.

Helpful?

Prioritize fire hardening as your first home building project by installing ember-resistant vents and establishing defensible space around the property. Next, address seismic vulnerabilities by bolting cripple-wall foundations and retrofitting unreinforced masonry chimneys. Since many Altadena properties feature older construction, inspect the electrical panels and replace any outdated knob-and-tube wiring. Finally, legalize any unpermitted accessory structures to meet CA state standards.

Helpful?

Schedule home building projects like exterior upgrades during the spring or early fall to avoid extreme heat. Plan to replace combustible siding or wood shake roofing before fire season intensifies in June. If your Altadena home still has older aluminum wiring or galvanized plumbing, update these systems immediately. Always schedule a structural inspection after any CA earthquake of magnitude 4.0 or greater.

Helpful?

When reviewing quotes for home building, watch out for professionals who suggest working without permits. Altadena is an unincorporated area, so professionals mentioning city permits lack local knowledge. Ensure the quote includes compliance with CA fire-resistant construction standards and local fire hazard zone requirements. Finally, reject any proposal for structural work that ignores seismic considerations, as the area sits near active fault zones.

Helpful?

After completing home building projects, retain the original signed permit cards, final inspection sign-offs, and approved plans. Keep all fire hazard compliance documents, including product certification sheets and defensible space clearance letters. Store engineer calculations for any seismic retrofits. Maintain an updated home inventory with photographs, and save all as-built drawings to guide future repairs on your Altadena property or anywhere in CA.
