Quality First Builders Inc

After living in our home for 13 years and dreaming of a kitchen renovation the entire time, we finally pulled the trigger—and we’re so glad we chose Quality First Builders. From our first meeting, Eli was confident, knowledgeable, and direct. I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical of his bold promises—especially when he told us the job would be finished in 40 days. I’ve known so many people whose kitchen renovations dragged on for months. But he was absolutely true to his word. The kitchen was completed just shy of that 40-day mark. Our scope started as a cabinetry and counter refresh, but Eli’s team gutted the kitchen down to the studs. It was the right move. We didn’t run into any hidden problems, and now we have the peace of mind knowing exactly how everything behind the walls was built. I came in with a rough idea of the layout, but Donna and her design team elevated everything. We discussed every single drawer and cabinet in detail—down to the width of the spice drawer to fit my collection. Selecting materials with Donna was fun and seamless. And the final result? It’s not just beautiful—it has truly changed my life. Every inch of the kitchen is planned around my actual needs. Eli’s communication was top-notch. He set up a shared text thread at the beginning of the project, responded quickly, and handled change orders with transparency and professionalism. No surprises, no confusion—just clean, clear communication. I’ve worked in home renovation television for nearly 20 years. I’ve been on hundreds of construction sites. I have never seen a crew keep a job site as clean and well-managed as Giovanni and the QFB team did. They showed up on time, worked hard, and cleaned up thoroughly every single day. There were a few hiccups—like needing to upgrade our electrical panel—but the team handled it all without letting it slow down the overall progress. And post-completion, any minor issues we noticed were addressed quickly and without hassle. Just a text to Eli, and someone was there to take care of it. And my favorite part? The custom appliance cabinet. I have a serious collection of countertop appliances—everything from multiple waffle irons to an Instant Pot—and this cabinet hides everything while still making them accessible and usable. It’s a dream. If you’re considering hiring Quality First Builders, don’t hesitate. I would recommend them without reservation. The experience was incredible from start to finish, and the results speak for themselves.

Eli and Donna were a pleasure to work with. We were most impressed by their efficiency: Eli promised he could complete the project in 4 months, half the time that other contractors estimated, and he delivered. Their team is extremely dedicated and will put the work in to stay on schedule. The quality of the work is excellent and we are very happy with the results. Everyone on the team was professional and courteous. They worked with us to minimize disruption (as much as possible) to our backyard. Donna, who handles design, helped us figure out all the details of what to order (we would have been lost without her). In order to stay on schedule with the quality they insist on, sometimes we would need to make decisions quickly; Eli’s communication style is direct, which was a good fit for us. This also meant that we knew that when an issue or delay arose, he would take care of it promptly. Overall, the construction process went smoothly and we are delighted with the final product.

Where do I begin? At times it feels like my life is just a series of poor choices. But when it came to hiring a contractor, I finally made a good choice—a really, really good choice—by trusting Quality First for my epic home renovation. My home was in a state of tremendous disrepair—black mold, corroded pipes, leaking roof, windows that didn’t open, rats in the attic and walls. Initially I thought I’d take the renovation slowly, one piece at a time, in a patchwork fashion. But when I met Eli, I saw something different from the other contractors who came to look at my home. I felt like I was talking to an artist rather than a contractor. He had a vision for what this place could be—pushing out some walls, expanding the kitchen, creating a more open layout. At the time, it seemed a bit extreme, but it totally made sense. As a public school teacher, I work hard for my money; I’m a conservative and frugal person by nature, and this was easily the biggest expenditure of my life. Eli was totally upfront in telling me “There are cheaper contractors out there,” which is true, and I appreciated that. But this was an investment, and I wanted to make sure it was done right and in a timely manner. Eli had been recommended to me by a good friend of mine who had work done on his home, and the quality of Quality First was evident to me. So I sucked it up, signed the contract, and now I am living in the home of my dreams! Eli is an experienced pro, and his team is exceptional. During the demolition, his foremen Gio and Wilder, came across some paperwork, pictures, and jewelry that they set aside for me. They could have easily tossed these things, but the fact that they didn’t is a reflection of their thoughtfulness and integrity. The two of them and everyone who works with Quality First are professional, hard working, and just really good people, which is something I was not expecting at all in this business. Okay, so I’m just this dude that doesn’t spend a lot of time thumbing through design magazines or scrolling Pinterest. Choosing floors and tile and fixtures and vanities and lights is totally outside my comfort zone, and I was so grateful to have Eli’s incredible wife Donna help with the design and purchasing. Ideally, a person should go into a project like this with a clear picture of what they want—but I didn’t have this. I really didn’t know what I wanted, so I depended heavily on Donna’s suggestions, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. She curated options in a very easy manner for me, kind of like how you go to see an optometrist and she gives you the option of what’s clearer, lens number 1 or lens number 2. That’s what Donna did for me, providing me with simple binary design options. Like Eli, she is a clear and responsive communicator, extremely patient with me. So many times throughout this build I had problems thinking through decisions—placement of electrical outlets, TVs, layout of bathroom, layout of kitchen, concrete and landscaping design and the most challenging—the garage conversion ADU, which shares a wall with the main house. Making these decisions was agonizing for me. I cannot overemphasize their patience in dealing with me and my indecisiveness, holding my hand through the process, helping me think through these important and pretty much irreversible decisions. I would regularly flip flop and change my mind about things, and never did they make me feel like a neurotic crazy person. They are pros who deal with people like me (probably crazier and more demanding people than me) on a daily basis. So when you’ve completed your Hamlet-like decision flux and finally commit, just a little warning—once Eli and his team get moving, things happen very quickly and efficiently. Be ready for an army of people to come in and out; it looks like craziness, but it’s all a well choreographed dance. Everybody who has ever had a substantial amount of work on their home understands that unforeseen expenses emerge. You hope to be able to salvage something, but then you can’t, and additional work and materials are required. That means additional work orders. In my home, we thought that we could keep the external stucco, but once the old plaster came down, it became evident that there was a tremendous amount of damage to the wood and stucco; for me to have a home that would stand the test of time, all of the external stucco needed to be replaced. This is something that wasn’t in the original contract, but Eli wanted to make it right. The quote he gave me for the stucco was far below what he should have charged me; he must have taken a loss, but he wanted to make it right. There were other things that Eli basically threw in that weren’t in the original contract—an upgrade of the back patio overhang, cabinets in the laundry room, a linen closet. Throughout the entire build, I got the sense that he didn’t want anything his hand touches to be anything less than his company’s name would suggest, “Quality First.” In my line of work, we tell students that 90% is an A, but 90% as a contractor will leave most clients dissatisfied. In my experience with this company, I saw a commitment to getting the little details right, from adding backsplash tile to make up for an inch or two gap under the microwave hood, to minuscule scratches on cabinetry, to the symmetry of light switch covers. I could easily live with these things not being perfect, but Eli didn’t want me live this way. I try to teach my students that the principle of reciprocity is alive and well in this world. When others do something good for us, we feel an obligation to return the favor. I’ve never written an online review on these sites ever before, but I feel an obligation to bring my experience of working with Quality First to light. I wish you well on your renovation project—or should I say, your renovation journey. I hope reading this review has been helpful :)

We had a pipe break and flood our downstairs. Essentially half our house had to be gutted and redone. On top of all that my husband and I were expecting our first baby. As work began we discovered a tremendous number of things which were not up to code or were on the verge of even more disaster (our whole house needed to be re-plumbed because the original pipes from the 60’s were disintegrating) To say this was a stressful situation is a wild understatement. But Eli and everyone at Quality 1st are absolutely amazing and made this process SO MUCH EASIER. Every single member of their team are excellent at what they do and the communication was constant. We always knew what was going on, what we needed to take care of, and when the next steps were coming. When I say I am absolutely stunned at the speed and quality of their work I don’t know if it really conveys how much I mean that. We are so, so grateful to Eli and the team for pulling off what I consider a miracle. When we were first dealing with the damage we heard so many stories about people being out of their homes for over a year while things got repaired. We were back in our home, with our baby, after just three months because Eli wanted us and our newborn daughter back home ASAP. They aren’t inexpensive, however I believe that is because they are honest and upfront about the ACTUAL costs of projects and don’t spring charges on you later. Also, Donna does a wonderful job giving you options for the finishing and fixtures in a variety of price points and designs. Aside from being truly excellent at what they do, they are also exceptionally wonderful people. When we finally get around to replacing the rest of our drafty original windows, and for ANY home project we have after that, Quality 1st will be the team I call.

In December of 2021, we had a house fire that did an extensive amount of damage to our home. After the house was ready to be rebuilt, we decided to interview multiple contractors. From recommendations from friends and family to reach outs to some well-reviewed people in our area, we had no shortage of people to go with. When we met with Eli and Donna, we immediately felt like they understood what they were dealing with. Both from a house and a personality standpoint. Both of us are extremely picky people but very strong in our convictions of what we wanted our remodel to look like. They handled both of us with ease, helping to explain certain unforeseen situations and extra costs that come with renovation a fire-damaged 90 year-old home. Not only does the house look great, but the speed of the construction from start to finish was almost unbelievable. When we first met with Eli he told us we’d be back in our home before the end of the year and I scoffed. Our insurance had told us that they estimated this being an almost two year long repair. They had the house ready in just about seven months. After our plans were approved, the rebuild went smoothly minus a few hiccups including extra damage and remediation that had been previously overlooked by our insurance. Their attention to detail and thoughtful design really helped us transform our home back to a place we wanted to be in after the trauma of our house fire. Donna was so helpful in walking us through our floorplan options and working with us on the design details to make our home feel like ours. She sourced vendors that had similar furnishings to what we were looking for and at price points we were comfortable with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone, even if you’re worried about being a little on the more high maintenance side like we are.

I have worked with Donna and Eli on several projects, and I appreciate their professionalism, attention to detail, and organizational skills more and more with each job. Our most recent project was a new build ADU. The project started with the collaboration with their architect. We were able to design a building that was beautiful, functional, and situated on the property to provide maximum privacy for the new building and existing home. A new build requires significant project management skills, and Eli continued to demonstrate his mastery of the necessary sequencing of events to prevent delays and downtime. He was able to coordinate the multiple City and County competing demands, to ensure our project was completed on time. Eli oversaw the design concept, site preparation, excavation, groundbreaking, utility connections, structure building, custom finishes and inspections. Donna again provided guidance in design details and helped us make smart choices for our multi-generational, multi-use home. If I ever have another home building/remodeling project, I will immediately reach out to Quality First Builders for the project.

We suffered a major leak last year, causing an immediate need to remodel our kitchen. We interviewed six general contractors prior to making our selection, asking nearly every question we could think of to ensure we made the right choice. From the very first meeting, we knew Quality First Builders was the right fit for us. Whereas each of the other 5 candidates gave various (sometimes opposing) solutions for the soffit in our kitchen, Eli was the first to get his hands dirty to find out what was feasible and cost-effective. He was a straight-shooter, set proper expectations and followed through during the entirety of our project. His subcontractors were all top notch and worked hard to ensure we were happy with the final product. Our entire kitchen remodel took 5 weeks from start to finish (including Christmas and New Years). The teams were clean, courteous, and detailed. Donna was a great help on the design aspect of the project. She joined us on our shopping trips to find countertops, flooring, and backsplash and provided helpful recommendations for hardware and other finishing touches. Her eye for design was spot on and her connections in the trade made the entire process so much easier than had we tried to wade through on our own. We love our new kitchen and had a great experience with Quality First Builders. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality home renovations and plan to use them again in the future for our next set of projects.

We had overall quite a positive experience with Eli and Donna doing an extensive remodel (starting with gutting): we redid the kitchen/dining room and a bathroom in a contemporary style, and created of a small laundry room, in our 60-year-old home. Quality First is far from the cheapest, so not for everyone, but the service level is high, and the quality seems to be as well. Anything that isn't quite right will be fixed. Donna has a great eye for design but she generally provides well-thought-out options and lets the customer specify, unless her preference is explicitly requested.  Communication between designer and general contractor is good because they're a couple!   Things were generally done right the first time, and on the rare occasions they weren't, it was fixed promptly.  Eli has a forceful personality which one might have to resist occasionally, but always trustworthy and honest.  We are very happy with our beautiful new kitchen, bath, and laundry!

If everyone had the same experience with a remodel that we had working with Eli, Donna, and their crew, all bathrooms and kitchens would be renovated. We had a huge project and their team delivered with high quality work, on time, and without any pushback when we have questions or changes orders. Quality First’s sole goal was to update my mothers childhood family home to be a warm, friendly home for her future grandchildren. They more than delivered. Since the project was such a large scope, and the house had deep emotional attachment, we spent a lot of time researching, interviewing, and going to job sites seeing contractors work in person. Eli joked on our 5th date that maybe it was time to take the next step. The entire team is very transparent and no empty promises were made. If we had a question or an idea and it was possible, we very quickly received a detailed change order with additional cost and timeline info (granted even with the change ordered we stayed well within the initial quoted timeline). If it was not possible we received a thorough explanation if it was not up to code, or from experience Eli had a better idea. Designing with Donna was a breeze. She gave us homework assignments leading up to shopping day, and had pre-selected some materials based on preferences and budget. Our home is fully custom, with a warm, welcoming feeling. We had a closet design over and even without furniture, she commented how calming and serene she felt standing in our living room. We have already recommended Quality First to several of our friends and family, and we feel that is the best review anyone could give.

The only question you have to ask after working with a contractor is, "would you work with them again?" The answer for Eli and Donna is an unequivocal and enthusiastic yes! My wife and I recently did a complete remodel of our kitchen. Gutted it down to the studs, moved windows and doors, custom cabinets, new appliances—the whole deal. We had a good idea of what we wanted, but there were still things to be worked out. Eli and Donna helped us every step of the way. Eli is diligent about keeping projects on schedule. He wants to get your project completed as much as you do and is great about playing task master with his crew and subs. He even helped keep us on schedule with key decisions along the way. Eli will offer his perspective and experience on all aspects of the job. You might not always agree with him, but is opinion is valuable and allows you to make smart choices. And he always defers to the homeowner’s wishes in the end. No large contracting job is without hiccups and ours was no exception. This is where Eli really shined. When things don’t go as expected or if there is some miscommunication, Eli makes sure you are happy in the end. He works things out with his subs and suppliers to make things right, even redoing parts of a job if necessary. We’re thrilled with our kitchen. It’s our favorite room in the house and we’re ready to do a couple more projects with Quality First in the near future.

Quality First Builders did a full remodel of our 2-bed, 2-bath condo in Santa Monica. The result is spectacular, and very well suited to our needs. Eli provided a detailed quote, with lots of specific information broken out. It was very clear what was included and what was not. Eli and Donna were both able to provide expert advice and guidance. During the quote process, Eli identified some problems that others did not, which is one of the reasons we chose to go with Quality First. There was an attention to detail that was reassuring. The project encountered some significant challenges, including the discovery of some questionable electrics and plumbing as a result of the previous owner. These added to the cost and the duration of the project, but I do not blame Quality First Builders for that -- I do not think these issues could have been foreseen until demolition was complete. Eli and his team took deadlines seriously, and although the original deadlines needed to be revised to account for these additional surprises, the work was completed ahead of the revised deadlines, which we really appreciated. The project included: - Full kitchen remodel - Extension of cabinets and counter tops through dining room - Full remodel of two bathrooms - Custom floating shelves and mantle - New doors throughout - Paint and flooring throughout - Installation of recess lights and light fixtures throughout - Tiling a large patio area, and replacing trellising So it was a large and complex project, and the result was of a high quality. Time and money both ran over, but seemed to be within reason, given the surprises left by the previous owner. There seemed to be a genuine sense of urgency and of efficiency throughout the process. The reason I cannot quite give a 5-star review is that the process was an extremely stressful one for us. To be fair to Eli and his team, the main points of stress were where third parties were involved. Anything that was completely within Eli's control was handled smoothly and well. His team does not do everything, however, and so we had to work with some other companies to fix the air-conditioning, replace the fireplace, hook up cable and internet, install closets, and replace the tile drop-ceiling in the hallway. We also had to interact with a very frustrating and unpredictable inspector. There were a lot of challenges where these different groups intersected, and where it wasn't clear who was responsible for what. We had to be more directly involved than I would have liked, and the communication was often stressful and at times became heated. My recommendation to others would be to handle as much of this sort of work as possible either before of after the main work is done. There is a clause in the contract about not working with third parties, for good reason, and in our case it turned out to be unavoidable (e.g. we discovered the AC work we had done prior was not properly permitted so the inspector would not sign off on anything else, the fireplace had to be installed before the tiling around it could be complete, etc). Eli was flexible in allowing this, and I appreciate that we got to a great result in the end, but the journey was bumpy at times. Both Eli and Donna injected creativity and problem solving. For example, the way the master bathroom was previously laid out was not up to code, and the inspector drastically limited our options, and caused Eli's team to have to do unnecessary re-work, which was frustrating. We were able to make the best of a bad situation, and the result is good looking and functional, even though our original plan was not allowed. The look and layout of our kitchen and dining area were more within our collective control, and together we achieved a really distinctive and appealing design, thanks to Eli and Donna's input. Thank you to Eli and Donna for working with us through all these challenges and getting to a great result.

If you are in the middle of a search for a reliable contractor, you really can stop here. Eli is your guy. we have worked with a few different contractors over the years, and Eli easily ranks at the top of all those I have worked with. This specific project was a remodel of the upstairs of a 1920s Spanish colonial in Silver Lake. It involved knocking down some walls, and converting an old office space into a master suite to include a walk-in closet and a new bathroom. Also remodeling the existing bathrooms, bedrooms, and hallway. Also: all new plumbing, rewiring, install a large beam, lots of framing work, extensive new drywall, refinishing original wood floors, all new tile for walls and floors for bathrooms, original stair rail and refinish, new stair treads and landing, new exterior doors and windows, and large window in shower. It was actually a pretty big project despite the modest sqaure footage. Everything went really smoothly. All the workers were fantastic, very nice, and seemed genuinely interested in making sure we were happy. We had a few changes come up along the way, which is of course inevitable. With prior contractors, it always seemed like a fight to change anything. But with Eli, there were no problems. He just changed or fixed what was needed until we were happy. Some little examples that made me extra happy: 1) In the new bathroom, we installed a steam shower, and all the details were perfectly accounted for. The ceiling and all niche edges slope perfectly, the generator was installed well, and the glass seals everything in! It is fantastic. I wouldn't have known to account for these things without Eli, and he made it all happen. 2) The tile work was incredible. With help from Donna, we selected hand made tiles. She was always right on top of making sure the tiles were ready on time and made sure delivery went fine. Their tile workers did an absolutely fantastic job installing all the tile. It looks stunning. Without Eli and Donna, we wouldn't have had all these top quality materials and workers to make it all happen. 3) The window in the shower. It took some ingenuity to get the window to work within the plans and not require extensive structural work. But it is a glorious window. It spans nearly wall to wall and brings in a ton of light! They even framed it in so that it shows essentially no ugly vinyl frame from the inside, and it looks fantastic. 4) We installed two new wood picutre windows, and they match perfectly to the rest of the original windows we wanted to keep in the house. Eli even coordinated to have moudling custom cut to match the old out-of-production style, so all the new doors and windows match beautifully. Nice touch! 5) We had some original components we wanted to keep and incorporate, and Eli and his crew made them all work. We were able to keeping some original hardwood doors and update the mortise locksets. We were also able to keep the original wood rail - little things that really help the character of the whole house. 4) We had some plans drawn from a prior architect, and they needed some updated. Rather than us having to do it, Eli made sure to get them updated so everything was ready, and handled all the leg work with that. 5) We needed to live in the house while the upstairs was being done. The crew really went above and beyond to drape off everything so there wasn't such a huge mess, and made sure all the plumbing and electrical were always ready for us to use in the rest of the house by the time we got home. We didn't have to spend a single night in a hotel, and not a single problem! 6) Clean up was superb! Beyond expectation. In the past, my relationship with contractors has always been sort of "meh". But with Eli, I really am over-the-top happy with how everything turned out. Thanks Eli and Donna!

My wife and I finally decided to remodel our kitchen that had cabinets from 1955. We started by getting 4 bids. The first three came in.....looked around for 5 minutes and gave a random price. Then Eli and Donna came to our house. They asked great questions about what we wanted to do, took careful measurements, and most importantly gave great advice. There was no quote that day. We set an appointment to visit Eli and Donna at their office. We then went over a complete and detailed itemized bid. After that they already had digital renderings of how everything would look. Very professional. When I saw the bid for the job it was definitely not the cheapest or the quickest, but at that point my wife and I were sold on how competent and nice Eli and Donna were and felt like we were in good hands. Everything went as planned. Eli's team are very skilled professionals and were nice to be around. They're were no shortcuts. Permits were done and all items were brought up to code. All new plumbing and electrical. I would also like to point out that there were NO hidden costs or surprise bills out of the blue. All invoices were billed as described in the original bid. Here is the bottom line about Q1st....if you want shortcuts to save money or false promises about timing, Q1st is not for you. If you want a professional job with amazing design ideas with Donna...look no further. We could not have asked for a better job. All of our friends and family are simply amazed at the job that was done.

Eli and Donna and the whole team at Quality First Builders performed a wonderful transformation of our guest bathroom. They completely gutted our old bathroom and walked us through the many decisions one needs to make when building and designing a bathroom from the ground up. The quality of the work was great and the job was completed quickly. Construction can be messy, but this team kept the rest of our house relatively dust free and clean. Everyone from the team that we encountered was nice and seemed to take pride in their work. Donna helped narrow down our choices and took the time to understand our design aesthetic and brought us options that fit our budget and taste. Decisions about faucets, fixtures and tile can be overwhelming and Donna kept us focused. We had a couple communication hiccups, but overall I'd recommend this team for this type of project. We will likely hire them again when it comes time to redo our other bathroom.

I hired Quality First Builders after meeting with three different contractors and considering each extensively. Eli was competitive on price; was the only one who proposed a creative change to the kitchen remodel that I was considering; and listened to what I wanted in a big-picture sense and then made a proposal that took that feedback into account in the details. I also appreciated that Eli owned his company and necessarily was the primary contact on all issues and could make the call on issues as they (inevitably) arise, without having to clear it through anybody else. What started out as a kitchen remodel, new downstairs flooring and popcorn ceiling removal project quickly turned much larger, as is often the case. In the end, all three bathrooms were completely redone, doors and molding replaced, fireplace resurfaced, stair case redone, entire interior repainted--literally every surface of the interior of my house was touched by Eli and his crew. And I could not be happier with the result. I had a pretty strong vision of what I wanted for all the spaces, and Quality First Builders brought that vision to life. Donna's input on tile choices and fixtures and the like really helped to streamline that selection process, which can seem never-ending, and move things along. Eli's attention to detail and consistent oversight were exactly what I wanted and what big project like this needed. The quality of the crew's work at every turn was outstanding. With the expansion of the project, both the timeline and budget necessarily expanded, but once set, Eli worked hard to stay on track with both. We also had the less-than-ideal circumstance of needing to move into the house before all the remodeling work was complete--even before the kitchen was complete. This was challenging for everyone, but Eli and his crew were so great in making sure the spaces we needed ready by move-in were ready and also in making the situation of living through the ongoing remodel as painless as possible. I won't belabor things, but suffice it to say that in a world where it is hard to find a contractor who won't charge twice as much as they originally proposed and take three times as long, Quality First Builders is the one to hire. I will post pictures soon, but have no doubt that I'm extremely happy with their work and with the house I get to call home now.

They came in ahead of schedule on both projects and treated me fairly.

We have hired Eli to do 4 bathroom remodeling over the last 2 years. His teams were professional and did a great job. Donna’s design recommendations made it easy for us to quickly nail down the design. Eli was enthusiastic and trustworthy. I felt that he really wanted to deliver quality work. When issues came up in the project, he always tries to resolve them to make his clients happy.

Eli and Quality First are very easy to communicate with and very trustworthy. If we need to remodel anything in the future we will definitely use them again.

Couldn't be happier

It went better than expected! You always hear of horror stories of contractor's giving one price and later going up. With QFB this was not the case! the proposal was very detailed and organized and we didn't have anything added that was unexpected. I will be referring Eli to many of my friends, as well as using him for future remodels.

We were initially impressed with their willingness to accommodate our tight schedule.  We needed to start by a certain date and finish as soon as possible.  Our lease was up at our current location and I was very pregnant so we needed everything finished and the nursery ready to go.  Other contractors had quoted over 35 business days but Eli was willing to work weekends and overtime to get it done in 2-3 weeks.  We weren't able to finish everything because as usual problems came up and I changed my mind on a few things.  He made sure the important stuff got finished first so we could at least move in.  Towards the end of the project, Eli had to go oversees for his wedding but was still able to check in with me and even forwarded all cell phone calls to his oversees number.  Now that is dedication!  
What was most value added about Quality First Builders is their participation in the remodeling process and their keen eye for interior design.  I really appreciated their input on the design aspect.  Eli and Donna even accompanied me to the door manufacturer to check out options, pick the best doors for my chosen decor and helped us stay within budget.  Our custom barn doors against our textured wall turned out great!  They had great ideas for lighting and paint colors as well.  I loved the modern recessed lighting ideas they had.  However, it wasn't in our budget but they still worked something out that looked great.  Donna sent me options of different lights that would work with our set up and also gave her opinions on fixtures that I liked.  In the end, it all turned out amazing!  Eli was completely hands on during the whole process and visited the site often.  He was always available to answer any questions of concerns I had.  I've been meaning to write this review for some time but the good part is that I've had a chance to really test out their workmanship over time.  They are appropriately named Quality First Builders and definitely live up to it and more.

we were very happy with our choice in quality first builders. At first we wanted to change the layout of the kitchen and use up most of the dining room to make the kitchen bigger since we entertain a lot. Eli and Donna came up with the idea to do a small addition to the backyard so that we didn't have to use the dining room and it made it a more functional layout. We were very surprised with this idea because no one has thought of it (we met with 4 different contractors) the design was perfect and it allowed us to keep our dining room. It also gave us a lot of cabinets, and a huge island. We also updated our powder room. 

Ezra was very professional through the whole process. He finished the kitchen remodel job on time and made sure we were completely satisfied before he left. He was very easy to get a hold of whenever we had any questions during the whole process. He had great ideas and suggestions and that was very helpful. Ezra was a pleasure to work with. We are so glad we hired Quality First Builders to remodel our kitchen.

I don't have time for all the details but it went well and was completed on schedule. Eli is there every step of the way.

Recently bought my first house in west hills. It was pretty outdated and I wanted to make it more modern, at first I thought about starting with only the kitchen but after meeting with Eli I decided that a lot of things made sense and knew that I should do everything at once. I needed to make sure that it fit in my budget, when I got the proposal everything I wanted was going to be done, at a price that I can afford. My house remodel just finished and this is define felt worth every dollar that I paid for. I have already received many compliments
