Finesse Remodeling & Consulting, Inc.

This is our second time using Avi and his Finesse team to beautify our house. One of our bathrooms was in disrepair and badly needed a facelift from its early 90â s look. At the same time, we decided to paint a large family-style room and our office. Also, we put in new ceiling lighting. How did it come out? Fabulous! We knew it would since we had Avi guiding us and his very professional and competent team doing the work. What we especially like about Avi is that he does what he says he will. The price is reasonable. You are getting a quality job. Avi will assist you with ideas if you arenâ t so sure about yours. He has an excellent eye and really pays attention to details. In addition, Avi, and his entire team, are cordial and easy to work with. Your time is respected. Each evening or early morning, Aviâ s right-hand woman, the very organized Joyce, will give you a heads-up about who is coming and what time he will be there. If there is a delay in the contractorâ s arrival time you will be notified promptly. We especially appreciated that. If you have a question or something you want Avi to look at, Avi will be there to take a look and make sure that it is what you want. Each and every contractor, whether it was a plumber, electrician, tile-man, or painter, was a professional. We had absolute confidence in the job each performed. I want to give a special shout-out to Luis and his team who did such a beautiful job. Call Avi, you will be happy you did.

What started as a major water issue with no idea the source turned into a rebuilt primary bathroom up to code and free from leaks

After finally deciding to remodel our decades old kitchen, we began our search for an honest, reputable kitchen remodeling company. After meeting with two other contractors we were referred by a good friend who highly recommended Finesse Remodeling and Consulting Inc. Even with our first meeting with Avi Ben Dov he explained each and every step and a projected cost and timeline. Joyce his assistant was amazing and very professional. She was always available whenever we had a question. The scheduling of each tradesman was spot on, they all arrived on time, were professional, respectful and always cleaned up at the end of the day. Avi always came to check on the job and at the beginning of the next phase. We had some unforeseen issues (old wiring and plumbing that needed upgrading) but Avi made sure we agreed with the cost before proceeding. We are very happy with our new kitchen so we decided to have additional work done throughout the house. We highly recommend Avi, Joyce and everyone at Finesse Remodeling! Thank you for making this a great experience!

My wife and I were very blessed to have Avi, Joyce and the whole Finesse TEAM by our side when we decided to remodel almost our entire house which included 2 bathrooms, kitchen, exterior stucco/woodwork renovation, painting, door installations, and touch-up work (very extensive work). From planning, execution, surprises/challenges, budget and timeline management; Avi and Joyce were very supportive and fair throughout the process and took the time to explain things and delivered quality work every step of the way. Scheduling was flexible, communication effective, and if there was a disconnect, Avi was there to make sure we were aligned so the project proceeded with minimal delays. More importantly, me and my wife ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS and Avi and Joyce were always there to listen patiently and address the concerns in a positive and productive manner. When it comes to challenges and surprises, Avi took the time to explain the situation and presented flexible options so that the outcome was fair and satisfied our expectations. Aside from those soft skills, Luis and TEAM provided quality workmanship and suggestions that totally beautified our newly renovated spaces and were left with place we can now call "our HOME" not just a house. Avi's approach is always customer first and was very professional but personable and supportive. Joyce was also very instrumental in support whenever we had questions or needed scheduling adjustments. She would work with us to accommodate requests and questions we had if we needed help/support. We will definitely continue to have Finesse as our choice for future home project renovations!! Thank you Avi, Joyce, Luis and Finesse TEAM!!!! Best, Ray and Louella

Ours was an extensive condo renovation including a totally new kitchen, powder room, master bath and lighting. Never having tried anything like this we did not know where to begin. Enter Avi and his Finesse Remodeling team. From that first meeting on day one our fears were laid to rest and we gained the confidence to proceed on such a big project. We enjoyed clear communication and everything happened according to the schedule. From Joyce in the office, to the plumbing and electric crews, to Luis and his amazing tile setters, the process was a fun and enjoyable collaboration. The design, execution and build quality has exceeded all our expectations. We highly recommend Finesse Remodeling and Consulting.

We had two bathrooms desperately in need of rennovation, and met with several contractors. We have had several pieces of building work done on our property in the past and are generally wary of contractors. We immediately felt that Avi was someone we could work with. He was very thorough in both understanding our intentions, and laying out the order of events and schedule. Because these bathrooms were old construction (mid-80's or earlier) Avi strongly recommended lead abatement inspection - which actually found only a small amount of tile with lead in it, but was a worthwhile health and safety check. We had very clear ideas about the retro design of the bathrooms, which Avi expressed some doubts about at first. He quickly came to understand that we had a clear vision, and then got on board enthusiastically with what we wanted to do. He became an excellent partner in bringing the design look to fruition. Demolition was very swift, and Avi's guys did a good job of sealing off the worksite to minimize dust spreading to other parts of the house. We wanted to move a couple of toilets and remove an old tub to replace it with a low-threshhold shower, and all of the replumbing and rewiring moved ahead very smoothly. Finesse did a terrific job of arranging the inspections so that we weren't waiting for days between parts of the project proceeding. The really impressive part of the work was the tiling. Avi's gang, headed up by the incomparable Luis, did a stellar job with an enormous amount of subway tiling. This did end up being a cost overrun, but absolutely worth it. The care and precision of Luis and his team was breathtaking. The plumbing and shower glass were subcontractors that Avi co-ordinated with, and we had some problems with the level of finish that the plumbing team made when installing the faucets and showers - however as soon as we expressed our disappointnent, Avi was on top of it and making sure that all of our notes were attended to, and all the errors were corrected. The second team sent by the plumbers made an immaculate job of refinishing the installation, and the end result is wonderful. Throughout, Joyce in the Finesse office stayed on top of the schedule, and always texted us the upcoming events. It was always easy to get hold of Joyce and Avi - we never got that contractor run-around from them - and they were meticulously honest about itemizing overages and payments. We never experienced and 'nasty surprises' in billing, and Avi was at pains to prepare us for possible costs (for instance, the possibility that the lead tile removal might prove to be extensive.) Overall we cannot say enough good things about these guys. We always felt that our project was the most important thing to them, even though they had other jobs running at the same time. We never had communication problems, or difficulties in getting hold of Avi. If anything, he was attentive to a fault - calling up just to check that the shower installation was satisfactory immediately after the work was completed (it was perfect.) Finesse were not the cheapest company we got estimates from - but neither were they the most expensive. Inevitably, costs were higher than the original plan, but these were always as a result of our change orders. I would use Finesse again for any remodel work, and heartily recommend them to anyone and everyone. They were simply a joy to work with.

Working with Avi and his team was such a pleasure, and we are thrilled with the end result. Our kitchen is beautiful. Every part of the process was effective and efficient. Avi worked with us on various layouts and design options, and provided plenty of recommendations. Every professional who came into our home did excellent work and was respectful of our space. And above all else, Avi did what he said he'd do, showed up when he said he would, and answered our many, many questions kindly and patiently. If you've ever worked with a contractor before, you know how unbelievably valuable those traits are. We will 100% be calling him for our next project, whenever that is!

Avi and Joyce always went above and beyond to help us in any way they could on regards to our kitchen remodel. He made everything simple and always kept our budget in mind. We asked him to make quite a few changes from the original plan and even asked for help with other small projects around the house and Avi & Joyce always accommodated in any way that they could. I am very happy with the way that our kitchen turned out. All of the work was done carefully and precisely and they made sure to protect the areas of the house that were not being worked on as well. They are a very reliable and honest team and I would highly recommend them for any projects you have in mind.

Very profession, great job done.

Avi and his team remodeled our first home with my wife and we were both very happy with the final results. We remodeled our kitchen, flooring, and powder room all within our budget thanks to Avi and his willingness to make a deal. I went through a lot of contractors and Avi stood out because not only was he very respectful, but was keen on details. He would share his honest opinion and suggest alternatives that were much better in quality and price. At the end of the day, he really wants the customer to feel good and confident in the project. Now there were some bumps in the road during the project, but that was because of a different company not living up to the quality of work that Avi's team does and there was a few delays on shipment which caused deadline to be extended, but we were informed along the way so there was no surprises. Overall, if you are looking to not go way over your small or medium budget and looking for professional work on remodeling your home I would recommend just calling Avi. His opinion and vision of your new project could save you a lot of money and save you on making bad decisions. If you don't pick him, that's fine, just chatting with him is highly valved and don't cost you a dime.

Avi and his team were fabulous. At the beginning of the process, he was the only contractor that we had spoken to that even mentioned the abatement process and how it might affect us. He was personable and friendly and made sure our need to live in the house during renovation was addressed. He stopped by regularly and had chats with us making sure we were happy with the process. Avi made sure that we knew that something might not be the best idea but if we truly wanted it he would do it. We did the kitchen, the master bedroom, master bathroom, guest bathroom, all windows, all doors including the front and garage doors. It was a huge undertaking but what a transformation. We were first time home remodelers and they walked us through every aspect of the process. When the unexpected happened, they were up front and let us know. The construction team under Luis were fabulous. We would swear Luis was a magician, the kinds of things he could get done on the spot were amazing. Definitely a man of many skills. The crew were respectful and friendly. They made sure everything was clean and livable at the end of each day. Also Joyce, the office coordinator, was awesome and we had a text thread going with her and Avi the whole time. All the permits were obtained in the proper manner and everything was done according to safety regulations. We are thrilled with all of our new home and highly recommend Finesse Remodeling and Consulting for all your interior remodeling needs.

Avi and team fully remodeled our humble kitchen over the summer and we couldn't be happier with the result. He made everything easy and within our budget, from the consult to choosing the floor, tiles, backsplash, appliances, etc. and his advice was always spot on. He was able to leverage his relationships with stores and suppliers to streamline our shopping experience and get us the best prices and products. We had a few hiccups with the floor and inevitable delays due to covid and supply chain issues, but all of that was to be expected. The final result is the kitchen of our dreams. The workers were absolutely terrific and I just want give a shout out to Luis and Sammy and all the guys that worked on our project. The quality of work is just outstanding. Thank you so much!

We had a fabulous experience with Finesse Remodeling and Consulting. The kitchen and family room desigh was creative and sensitive to all our needs and demands. Detailed guidance and explanations were offered at every step. The team was efficient, polite and completed the work in a timely and professional manner. The outcome is a beautifully laid out kitchen and family room which everyone in our family is enjoying immensely.

We contracted with Avi and Finesse Remodeling to remodel our kitchen and adjacent family room and bathroom and we are very pleased with the results. We put our contractor search into high gear in October 2020. We spoke with many contractors who all seemed really good but Avi was a touch above the rest. He not only had great ideas but was also very personable. We ideally wanted our new kitchen before Christmas but were concerned if it could get done in time and Avi said he could do it in 6 weeks, and he and his team completed the projects in in 6 weeks! Suffice it to say that as the homeowner I had to be fully engaged and do my part to make it happen so it was a great team effort. Not only did Avi and crew do great work, but Avi kept things moving really well and he worked tirelessly to ensure the different specialists did their work as scheduled. The specialists included plumbing and electrical rough work, drywall and painting, cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, final plumbing and electrical and appliances installation. Aviâ s attention to detail throughout the project was fantastic. When it came time to resolve punch list items, he got all the issues resolved that resulted from the work and that were in scope. In summary, I highly recommend Avi and Finesse Remodeling for your home remodel projects!

We came across Avi and Finesse remodeling during our search for contractors to upgrade our kitchen and patio. We requested to speak with numerous ones but when we met Avi we immediately felt the connection that we will be in great hands. He became like family. He is very professional and more importantly was honest with us during his presentation and what he recommended for us. He has a great team of professionals that work with him. They are a very efficient group and keeping track of the finances is easy because his assistant Joyce works with you at every stage of the project. If you are looking for a contractor for an upcoming project, we highly recommend using Avi and Finesse Remodeling & Consulting. Thank you Avi and team for all of your amazing work you did for us! We truly appreciate it! Regards, Hamid and Cindy Mirtahami

The absolute best! This was our first remodel and after a few meetings with Avi we were so impressed we decided to hire Avi and Finesse to do a remodel of our entire house. The house was in years of neglect and disrepair. This was a HUGE project. Demo and remodel of kitchen, 2 bathrooms and master bedroom, new flooring, tiling, new electrical, HVAC, repair and replacement of windows, painting of entire interior, no inch of the house was untouched, we moved out for two months. Avi, Sam and Joyce were amazing, creative, and always on site or in communication daily. Everyone on Aviâ s crew were masters of their craft, at times there were 8-10 workers in the house at the same time, almost all have worked with Avi and Sam for 10+ years. Three months later we have a beautiful home that is in pristine condition. This is totally due to Aviâ s vision of what was possible, within budget and done on a very tight timeline. Throughout this process we felt that we were so fortunate to have Avi and his team turning an aging house into a beautiful home.

Avi and his crew were excellent. Crew showed up on time with no major delays. Bathroom remodel stayed within our budget with no major surprises. Crew always cleaned up everyday. So happy with our beautiful new bathroom!

Avi and his team at Finesse completed 3 distinct projects over this summer. It all started with a serious plumbing leak in a bathroom necessitating a partial remodel of that bathroom and the adjoining bedroom. Work was completed timely and in a very Workman like manner. We went to Avi since he had previously remodeled two other bathrooms for us. We then moved on to a full garage remodel which came out beautifully. Finally we did a partial remodel of our kitchen, replacing tile countertops, appliances s and a good cover. Avi made some wonderful suggestions that we' be really appreciated. He suggested a Bristol new sink which we love and did a great job to retrofit new appliances into our existing custom cabinetry. I couldn't have asked for a better result. Everything was completed timely and we couldn't be more pleased.

I would definitely recommend Finesse Remodeling. The work completed was exceptional, the cost was reasonable, and the schedule was maintained. I'll be calling Avi for my next project!

Avi and his crew were great! Our remodel project started with just a little leak in the bathroom, and ended up being quite a bit more work throughout the house. We had 3 other bids, from 3 different contractors, and we are so glad we went with Avi. He wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive, but by far the most personable and professional. Avi,Joyce, Luis, Sam, Oscar and his flooring crew, and the electrical crew, were all so easy to work with and always kept us apprised of what progress was being made. There was only one mistake made (wrong windows were ordered). Avi was quick to take ownership and fix the mistake. I am so pleased with the finished product! I have and wouldn't hesitate recommending Avi to any friends and neighbors

Having bought a large fixer-upper with major work needed, including a complete kitchen renovation as well as three full bathrooms (including a master bath), new flooring throughout, all new plumbing, and all new electrical, I really took my time and met with five different contractors. In my initial meeting with Avi, his expertise and professionalism was readily apparent as we discussed my plans for the house. His bid was very competitive, and I felt Finesse Remodeling was the best choice. My instincts were correct as Avi and his team did an amazing job on my house. From early demo days to final touch ups, Avi, Joyce and Sam were always there to keep me posted on the progress being done. I was not living in the house during the renovations, but I would stop by regularly, and every time I did I would find the Finesse crew hard at work. With such a large renovation spanning a couple of months, you really get to know the various workers and sub-contractors, like Eli and his electrical team, and Oscar and his flooring crew. Everyone was always professional and courteous, and took pride in the quality of their workmanship. They had all worked with Avi on numerous jobs over many years, and that trust and mutual respect showed. The whole renovation process was fairly painless. Even when issues came up (they always do!), Avi and Joyce would communicate with me and present problem-solving solutions, making me feel I was always in good hands. I would not hesitate to work with Avi again and will refer Finesse Remodeling to anyone looking for a quality contractor.

Avi and his crew created a really terrific new kitchen and bathroom remodel in my mid century ranch house in the SFV. He worked with my eclectic taste, made product recommendations, steered me in a different direction when he knew I was off base. Avi is easy to get a long with, honest, and enthusiastic about his projects. I have no regrets about choosing Finesse for our project.

Avi and his team created a wonderful new kitchen for our home. We couldn't be happier with the result. I have to say that the big headline of this review is that they did a phenomenal job of sticking to their schedule, hitting every deadline and beating the timeline for the construction at every phase. We were never waiting for the next step; it always seemed to move fast. In my experience, this is rare. Of course the process of doing any construction can be difficult as there are so many moving parts and complicated communications -- I wouldn't say that the process was always easy, but Avi without-a-doubt put 110% effort into the project and made it easier than anyone else we've worked with. I do not hesitate to give Finesse Remodeling 5 stars and a recommendation to friends and family.

After doing a trial with Finesse we decided to hire them to finish our whole house: guest bath, interior paint, master bath, closets, kitchen, exterior paint, etc. We're finally done and we couldn't be happier. What impresses me most is their professionalism. Avi and Joyce always answer the phone no matter what (or call back in a timely manner) and keep clean records. Avi really cares that the job is quality and that every detail upon finishing is to my liking. His workers are incredibly respectful and didn't hesitate to make small adjustments to accommodate my perfectionism. I definitely recommend Avi and his team and will consider using them again in the future.

We were graciously guided through our first ever remodel (kitchen) in our townhome in Marina del Rey by Avi. He's got a great sense of design and gave us all the information we needed to be able to choose new cabinets, countertops, and tile that look modern and clean. His teams were respectful of our property when they completed their work. In the end, the kitchen is a dream. We can't wait to work with Avi on future remodels.
