Excel Construction L.A

I appreciated the quick contact for project consultation and the candidness and honesty about my needs and the companies provided services.

While my needs did not line up with the provided services this time around i wouldn't hesitate to contact again for any future projects.

Thanks again for the help.

We used this company for a patio cover. Sebastian was our sales guy and after we signed papers he disappeared to Armenia for extended length of time. They installed the patio cover wrong and it has leaked during every rain storm we have had in LA.
They have been out three time to fix it and it still leaks in the same spots every time it rains.
I just reached out again with video and photos of the leaks and new damage, we'll see if they can correct the problem this time.
I fixed the damage inside my back door my self and now I have all the same damage again. So frustrating!

We scheduled an appointment because they can't give estimates by pics that we sent.
They canceled it 30 minutes before the appointment.
We rescheduled it for another day and they canceled it again in 3 hours before the appointment telling that it did never happen before (what a lie according the reviews)
Don't waste your time with these guys

What an amazing roofing job!! These guys are are highly experienced and responsible. Ben is so sweet and knows what he's talking about. Trustworthy and fast responders!! Best service you can get, I guarantee.

I would not trust these guys with any work in your home. After scheduling a consultation, the guy cancelled due to traffic. Then on the reschedule, the office called to tell me he was in a car accident, so they rescheduled him. Then on the third reschedule, just two days later he calls me 20 minutes before to tell me he was in a car accident and needed to reschedule. He sent me a photo of a car being towed with a message reading "waiting on a tow truck." How are you waiting on a tow truck when you just got Into an accident and there is a tow in The photo? Then on the fourth reschedule he called me an hour before to say he was on his way, then an hour and a half after his show up time I called to cancel the appointment. He then laughed at me saying he was almost there. These guys are shady. I wouldn't trust them with any property that you work hard for.

Really loved Sebastian and his attentiveness towards our every need. Professional and speedy work. My patio cover looks amazing! Call Excel Construction La to get your moneys worth!!!

Worst experience working with these guys. Eyal and his team were extremely unorganized, didn't communicate timelines properly or project expectations, missed every deadline, and had to redo a portion of the work. There were several mishaps throughout the project, and we feel that we were lied to in terms of their expertise. We had a clear vision from the beginning of the project which we outlined with diagrams, and photos and they assured us they would be able to get the job done. We relied on them as experts to get several custom elements done in our home, such as building a custom built-in sofa for our den, built-in shelving unit for our bathroom, and creating a flush concealed door for our office, and it became apparent they had no idea what they were doing. They had to completely redo our bench, the dimensions were off, my feet dangled when I sat down (see photo), and the finishing was so horrible that we had to call and pay ourselves a professional plaster guy to redo their work. The door didn't shut properly, the paint was uneven and the walls were cracking. The guy working told us this was the first time he's had to build a door & sofa like this. They had framers do the custom elements. They originally "finished" the bench with dirt & garbage left in the storage under the bench (see photo). The job was so sloppy. Their mistakes cost us thousands of dollars in materials, plaster and custom paint that had to be repurchased. Meanwhile Eyal argued about every dollar. They moved our gas lines for the furnace and didn't hook up the gas properly before they enclosed the walls, and had to come back to tear the wall apart again (see photo) to connect the gas lines after we told them our heat wasn't working on a cold winter night with two small kids in the house, one of them a newborn. They threw our custom crown moulding in our bedroom in the dump during the demo, and had to get it custom made again, and it's not an exact match, the sizing is a little off & it's in disparate pieces stitched together. They installed wood panels in our ceiling with a huge line in the middle (see photo). They installed additional electrical lights but didn't match the type of recessed lighting so some of them looked old while the others were brand new. They also didn't separate the electrical lines or add new lines during the remodel but added to our existing lines which caused a short circuit and our lights to flicker for weeks. The finishing overall is not great throughout the house. They didn't apply silicone gel sealer to the grout for the tile in our bathtub and shower (photo attached). They created a concrete step outside our den but didn't fix the planter stone they cracked until after I called them to come back to fix it (photo attached). I had to call them back several times to come back to fix places they missed. Eyal never did full walkthroughs with us, and rarely checked on his crew to supervise the job. He had several other projects on the go including his own flips, and didn't prioritize our home. The only thing they were on time about was asking for their next instalment of payment. I withheld their final payment until they re-did the bench and the door, and after all of this Eyal submitted a Claim of Mechanics Lien on our house. This was a huge slap in the face considering we had already paid him 6 figures for this project and only owed them a final cheque for $5K. They followed up consistently when they wanted to get paid, but when we asked them for the receipt for the tankless hot water unit they purchased and installed so we can get a credit back with SoCalGas my husband had to follow up with them consistently for 3 months to get the receipt. The project was supposed to be done by end of Aug 2022, they just finally came back to finish the bench and door in March 2023. To top it off, their administrative staff (Sarit) is rude & disorganized. I pretty much had to project manage my own construction project, I had to do my own research on all custom materials (Eyal was zero help), and had to ask them for a schedule every Sunday night so our family knew what the week looks like. Both my husband and I were working from home in the middle of construction. We did this from June until mid October of 2022. It was extremely stressful. On top of that I was pregnant with our second child, and had a toddler running around. We interviewed 5 other contractors for our project and ultimately chose them because we really liked Ben, the sales guy. We regret our decision and wish we had gone with someone else. Save yourself the headache. To make things even worse, Eyal copied all of my design ideas for our home improvement projects and applied them to his flips and other projects he was working on and even asked me to send him our custom carpenter contact, and links to where I purchased our finishing materials. He then would boast and show me photos of how great his flip looks with my design concepts, which he gained for free.

I had 3 scheduled appointments for an estimate. Each time I had to take off work. Each time they called and verified the appointment the day before or the day of my appointment. All 3 times they called me 30 mins before time of appointment to cancel appointment. And they have the nerve to ask me a 4th time do I want to reschedule, no I don't, I've already missed 3 days of work for nothing!

We wanted a complete remodel of our master bedroom and bathroom.
We had several companies give us estimates and we decided to go with Excel Construction La.
Eyal listened to what we want and gave us an idea of what they can do for us.
We were walked through the process from the initial concept, 3D design and every step during the remodel.
We could not be happier with the end result!
Highly recommend!

I was looking forward to meeting with the representative of this company because they sounded so interested and professional on the phone. I read a few reviews that said they cancelled at the last minute but because of all the good reviews I gave them a call. But they did also call me at the last minute to cancel.
