"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.

"Working with Nathan & KN Remodeling was the best decision we made when undertaking our garage conversion job. Nathan understood exactly what we wanted, knew our budget parameters and provided us with a range of options that helped us stay within what we were seeking to spend. We wanted it to be NICE, but didn't need to over-do any of the finishes and spend needlessly on areas that were going to be used in-frequently. The end result was fantastic. The workmanship was of the highest order, the job was executed efficiently and with constant communication and oversight. The whole job was stress free and delivered on time. I can't recommend KN Remodeling highly enough!"

"I recommend MF Construction without hesitation for any and all of your home remodeling needs. Mike and his team did a beautiful job! They exceeded our expectations in performance, outcome, attention to detail, and timeline. From the start of the project to the finish, the team showed up every single day, even on some weekends. They stayed late when necessary to keep the project on track and worked tirelessly to ensure our satisfaction. Mike, Melvin, and the team are exceptionally clear communicators. I always knew what was going to happen next with the project. They checked on the team's progress and my satisfaction frequently. Mike was kind and patient with both of my elementary-aged children. Their bedrooms got a complete redesign and overhaul and he treated them just like customers, giving them input and ownership into the process. Thank you so much, MF construction! We could not be happier with our "new" home!"

"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."

"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"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."

"I would give California Builders 1 million ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I could, this company is top notch. The Airport Fire 🔥 ash got in my swimming 🏊 pool & started breaking away my existing plaster, the water was draining underground & my water bill has been excessively high as I have a water filler on that pool. I got a couple of local quotes from businesses off of yelp, but they were so high & unreasonable & couldn’t even start my project for months. I reached out to California Builders & they had someone draining my pool within days, after 4 days, my pool went from ruined to what now looks like a resort pool & for super reasonable pricing. Thank you, Chris & your California Builders team, can’t wait for our next project. This is the only company you should consider for all of your construction needs, there is nothing they can’t accomplish."

"Our roof was in bad shape and we needed to have it replaced. I had gotten estimates and decided to go with Home Pro Remodeling. Emil and Brian were our contact people for the project. Emil was very professional and paid attention to our concerns. He worked with us through the entire project to our complete satisfaction. Brian is extremely courteous and helpful as well! The project went very smoothly, was completed before the initial project end date, and the results were beyond our expectations. The job turned our beautifully! Our new roof looks FANTASTIC! Our neighbors have commented to us how great it looks. We are very pleased with our experience with Home Pro Remodeling and would definitely recommend them."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

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?

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?

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?

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.

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.
