Google reviews
EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys were fantastic. Their bid to rebuild our deck was extremely fair. Adi Aiish, their field manager, was communicative and transparent, and he made our complete rebuild due to faulty construction happen not only on time but ahead of schedule—in spite of the fact that his wife was literally about to go into labor—and his team’s work was flawless. Part of that is because GroundUp Builders employs the same team every time. They do not hire random day laborers to cut costs, but people who have worked together before, and those people have a groove. That was evident in the quality and speed of their work. When there was a small oversight, GroundUp took full responsibility and did not attempt to do the usual runaround contractors do where they posture and pretend that you, the customer, are simply unequipped to assimilate the complexity of a five-layer deck renovation, instead of just saying, “yes, I forgot to ask for the cost of the cricketing for 24 square feet of the space.” Could not be happier with their work and the entire process. I hope to hire them for future renovations.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience working with Avi and his team at Ground Up Builders and Design for our modest home renovation. Never having done this before and needing to live on the premises at the same time, it gave us lots of apprehension - but Avi always remained professional, communicative and guided us through the whole process, offering help for anything we needed. They worked hard to keep the site as clean as possible for us during the time, and it was clear Avi's goal was the quality of work and our satisfaction. He has an extremely capable team, such as Ovin and Idillio who are experts in their own right, and after seeing their craftsmanship, thoughtfulness of function, and attention to detail, it gave us great confidence in anything they tackled. Many things shifted and came up during the process due to it being an old house, etc, and it always felt like it was a team effort to solve those issues in the best and most budget-conscious ways possible. Avi's fantastic attitude, fairness, and work ethic meant we didn't have to worry or dread if and when construction issues arose.

We had the pleasure of working with Ground Up Builders due to significant water damage incurred by our windows and doors during last year's heavy rainfall. The communication and work throughout the entire process was impressive. Adi always kept us informed every step of the way, providing updates on the progress and timelines. Ground Up Builders was transparent and dedicated to keeping us in the loop with constant group chats and conversations. We knew upfront the cost of the scope of the job. I was also impressed by the entire team at Ground Up. They approached the water damage with a thorough understanding of the issues, and their work was nothing short of top-notch. The workers coming and going in our house .. always were professional and always cleaned up after they finished their work. In addition, what stood out most was the seamless coordination within their team. Each member played a crucial role, contributing to a smooth and efficient resolution of our problem. Everyone worked together very well. Highly recommend Ground Up Builders for their professionalism, communication, and exceptional service for rebuilds and construction.

We always heard so many horror stories from friends and family about contractors walking off the job, and renovations taking twice as long or costing twice as much, so we were nervous to get started on our house renovation. Then we met Uzi, who was the most professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and practical contractor we had ever met. He always responded immediately, even on the weekends, and even to my silly questions. His team was always on time, did flawless work, and was incredibly helpful (especially Nathan). The renovation took exactly how long and cost exactly how much Uzi told us it was going to take/cost. We had ZERO issues. I never had to follow up on anything- Uzi was the one following up with us. A couple friends have since used Uzi and his team and have said the exact same thing. We are SO grateful and happy with how everything turned out, and would recommend Ground Up to anyone 10000x over.

Uzi had been keeping an eye on the meter for me over several years while doing other work at my house. When he suggested it was time I knew I could trust him. His Ground Up crew not only made sure that the newest solar technology replaced my old panels, but installed them in a direction that gave me more coverage on my flat roof. They made sure to check my roof and resurfaced it before the big rains. Despite the big demand they had for customers I never felt that I was not being taken care of and my questions were always answered right away. The crew also cleans up when finished and even took some extra things I had wanted taken away with their trash. I highly recommend them.Verified I cannot say enough good things about Ground Up, the dream contracting company.

Jacob is a fantastic communicator- he cares about the details, follows through, and is responsive to our needs and questions. Our projects this year involves replacing the railings on our deck and repairing/rebuilding a part on the side of our house that had water damage. We will definitely be working with Jacob again for our next project!Verified We had the pleasure of having Jacob help us restore our home after a large flood. The project scope included a full kitchen remodel, one full bathroom remodel, as well as new flooring throughout. Jacob was attentive, friendly and most of all genuine. As first time homeowners, having someone we can trust throughout the process was very important. Jacob was very reasonable and always kept our best interest in mind. We felt very grateful to have Jacob not only manage the entire project but provide us guidance throughout the construction. He made sure the quality of the house was not only up to our standards but also up to his. Many times, he asked the crew to redo certain things despite us not catching those imperfections. Amazing! Jacob always made sure we were happy, even at one point offering to redo the entire shower floor due to some issues with the material. The peace of mind when working with a competent and professional project manager was well worth the money. Out of all the bids we got for our project, Ground Up was not the lowest - but after meeting and talking to Jacob, it was a very easy choice. He was very honest and thoughtful - and I can't stress how important that is when it comes to renovations with lots of money involved. We have future plans to do more renovations and have no doubt we will be reaching back out to Jacob to help us! If you're looking for help with your renovations, make sure to ask for Jacob. He will take care of your house like his own!Verified We recently had the pleasure of working with Ground Up Builders due to significant water damage incurred by our windows and doors during last year's heavy rainfall.

(:Verified As first time homeowners, we were very concerned about finding the right people to work with when we needed to remodel a bathroom, put in new floors, and renovate other areas of our new home. We had always heard wonderful things about Uzi and Ground Up Builders from friends and had worked with the company before - Nathan managed a small job at our old rental, which we were very happy with. Once we met Uzi, we felt very confident about working with his team on our larger project. Ground Up Builders did an amazing job adding a shower and remodeling a bathroom, in addition to putting new flooring in the whole home, interior painting and refinishing and updating lighting and a myriad of other things that needed to get done. Uzi responds to your questions and concerns and had so much patience for me and my many questions. His team is great - Marlon is excellent - as are all of the workers that came to our home. All of the people that Uzi recommended - for tile, window treatments, shower glass, everything we needed, were excellent and professional. Ground Up Builders finished the job and have been available for our continuing questions and to come back and touch up any tiny thing that we've had issues with. They stand by their work. I have not hesitated to recommended Ground Up Builders to my family and friends.

My wife and I have strived all our property-owning lives to avoid major subcontractors, for all the reasons you would imagine. They are too big, too expensive, not concerned with individual clients' welfare so much as getting them done with -- you know the routine. Not so GroundUp. After a great deal of research, I took a flyer on their owner, Uzi, and his well-intended and comported staff. We installed a full solar array -- no mean feat. They finished the work in a bit over a day. The result wasn't just efficient -- it was art, especially when they found themselves having to redo a crumbling roof in the process. Their work was impeccable, reasonably priced, and together, we put the boot to the power company, which just goes on its merry way upping rates at 5 percent a year. Wish I could do that well at a Savings & Loan. It's been three months and I owe the power company squat. If you have any doubts, ask Uzi for my number -- I am happy to give personal tours. That is, if you can manage to see anything -- the 20 or so panels I bought are so expertly tucked away you need a ladder or drone to see them.

Ground Up Builders is a great company to have any and all of your remodeling needs done. These guys are amazing. They work fast, efficient and extremely professional. They are always on time, and stay late if they need to with qualified and professional workers. Everything is of the highest quality; which I will say you will pay for but is absolutely worth every dollar you spend. They go above and beyond what is required to get your job done right and the way you want it. They take the time to look all over the valley and outside of the valley to get the right materials you want for your job.
I highly recommend Ground Up Builders for your remodeling needs. When you want your job done right, fast and professional you call Ground Up Builders.

Uzi and his team are amazing. I looked for 6
3 months for a reliable contractor for my room addition. After speaking with Uzi and viewing some of his projects I felt like I finally met someone that wouldn't take advantage of me. I couldn't be happier with my new master bedroom. His crews finished on time and most importantly I didn't pay any hidden cost. He was upfront from the beginning about the price and it stayed within what I was quoted. I would happily recommend Ground Up Builders
Bathroom Remodel
Recently I have bought a new home in Los Angles. But I did not like the bathroom and so I wanted to remodel it. When I was looking for one of the best bathroom remodeling companies in Los Angeles, thankfully, I came to know about Ground up builders. Believe it or not, my bathroom was a blank canvas to them, no matter how old or outdated it may have been. Where I saw chipped porcelain, they saw potential. Where I saw ugly tiling, They saw an opportunity to make it beautoful. It was an awesome experience to work with them. I am totally satisfied.

I am a Realtor with ACME Real Estate in Los Angeles and worked with Adi Aiish and Ground Up Builders on an extensive project for a Seller client. In a nutshell, working with them was incredible. Adi managed his team impeccably, and they came in on budget, on time. Not only that, it was an absolute pleasure working with Adi! He went above and beyond when it came to answering questions for the client and for me. He was able to pivot when we had design changes and incorporated those updates without nickel and diming the Seller. He was also able to help us resolve a complicated permit violation on the home, and worked with the City to correct the defaults and clear the violation. The experience was such a wonderful one that the Seller considers Adi and me to be personal friends... and the work they did helped me to sell the house for over $150,000 over our record asking price. Thank you so much, Adi, for your help and great work! Looking forward to working with you on the next project!

Ground Up Builders was extremely Professional . Adi Aiish was very reliable and competent. There was a lot to accomplish and it was done in record time. Thanks to Adi all the areas were done efficiently by him and his crew. From the remodeling of the bath, the electrical, the plumbing and the plastering of the pool to the painting of the interior and exterior of the house, made the house look like a new house Adi took care of the legalization of the garage to the original carport. The work on the fireplace and chimney were excellent. I’m recommending Adi and his crew from Ground up Builders to my friend in Van Nuys. I really appreciated Adi’s willingness to help and I find him very affable . Thank you Ground Up Builders

Uzi and team do masterful work. We will be loyal clients forever. High quality craftsmanship. We always have full confidence that jobs will be done right.
HU-231866464
We love a job well done and we love the peace of mind that working with Uzi and his GroundUp Builders gives us when it comes to putting our money towards any construction needs we might have in our house. We have been hiring Uzi's services for more than a decade now and we keep going back every time we have a remodel, addition or any kind of work we need to better our home. Safest investment we ever made.
Uzi (GroundUp Builders) focusses on the project in an absolutely knowledgeable, professional and friendly way that alleviates all stress from the owner, closely and constantly keeping an eye on the process and immediately responding to any questions or concerns the client might have. I've never worked with anyone before in this field that was just seconds away from answering our phone calls any time we had a question, and always at the end of the conversation having the absolute certainty that everything was in the -very- best hands.
As a result we never had a problem during construction and / or when the job was done, everything to perfection and knowing that even months or years after they were done, if we ever needed to talk to him at all he would respond after just a couple of ringtones and greeting us by name. I can only say I am really impressed with the way Uzi and his GroundUp Builders work and conduct themselves professionally and personally, and no doubt will always go back to him knowing that, once again, we will be in the best possible hands.

I love everything about Ground Up Builders. Their work is always wonderful and gets done incredibly fast. If I have a question about anything I always get the answer right away and, most importantly, I will keep hiring them again and again for each of my needs. I’ve never been disappointed and have recommended them to everyone I know. They’ve helped with my foundation, my new air conditioning, rebuilt both the front and back porches, replaced the gutters, fixed the electricity, and plumbing, repaired rain damage, installed a more efficient water heater and the list goes on and on. I can’t wait to hire them to install a second bathroom and beyond.
