Constraction reviews in Los Angeles, California
-
We've used Building Doctors twice now, both times for issues in our new home's heating and cooling systems. After moving in, I discovered a problem that the home inspector missed during their assessment. The team from Building Doctors performed an excellent energy audit, uncovering much more than expected. They promptly fixed the HVAC issue while we're exploring other work through the Energy Upgrade CA rebate program - this is our second positive experience with them.

We've had Building Doctors working on our home for over two years now. They started by sending a team that spent three hours going through every nook and cranny of our house in response to our concerns about our AC. This was a far cry from other contractors who had barely looked around before telling us we needed a massive new unit.
The Building Doctors team concluded their investigation and told us that our current AC was fine, but we did need some insulation and new ducting. They delivered on all of it. Their work ethic was impeccable - they arrived on time every day, were spotless, and kept me in the loop about any unexpected changes along the way.
They also added some extra work as the job progressed that I had requested, like installing LED light fixtures throughout. The final bill wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny. They handled all the rebate paperwork for us, so we just had to deposit the check when it came.
Even two years later, the quality of their work still holds up. Our AC can now maintain a cool temperature well into the afternoon on those scorching SoCal days that were previously unbearable. I'm thoroughly impressed with Building Doctors and can confidently say they're one of the best contractors I've ever worked with - Dan and his team are top-notch. -
Building Doctors transformed our old home into a modern energy-efficient haven. Built in 1927, it was drafty and cold, but Dan's team made all the difference. The result is a warm winter and a cool summer - perfect for us! We love our new home and appreciate how Building Doctors exceeded our expectations. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and respect for our property were impressive. The work done was extensive, but we're thrilled with the outcome. I'd highly recommend Building Doctors to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable team.

I recently had an exceptional experience with The Building Doctors, which has left me eager to share my positive encounter with others. After participating in the Energy Upgrade California Program offered by LA County, I received a substantial grant of $8,500 towards upgrading my home's energy efficiency.
My old heater and air conditioner were 20 years old and no longer performing as they once did, while my utility bills were skyrocketing - literally, due to the significant duct leaks. I discovered The Building Doctors through their presence on an NBC newscast, where they featured Energy Upgrade California.
I reached out to Dan, who listened attentively to my concerns and explained the principles of building science in great detail. As a senior citizen, I appreciated the time he took to educate me about his company's Whole House approach, which differs from traditional contracting methods. His expertise put me at ease, and I was grateful for the reassurance.
With The Building Doctors' Whole House approach, we downsized to a more efficient heating and cooling unit than what I had previously used. This might seem counterintuitive, but it makes sense when considering the need for air sealing and insulation to achieve this level of efficiency. Dan's explanation made sense, even if I couldn't fully grasp the technical aspects myself.
The crew from The Building Doctors was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful of my property. Before starting the job, they took extra precautions to protect my home, furniture, and belongings. My project was completed on schedule and within budget.
What struck me most was how much more comfortable I felt in my newly upgraded home. After the last heat wave, I noticed a significant improvement. By following Dan's advice, I opened my windows for an hour in the morning before closing them as the heat hit, allowing my cooling system to kick in later. The difference was astonishing - my old system would have struggled to keep up on such a hot day.
My rooms on the south side of the house were previously unbearable, but now they're at the same temperature as the rest of the house. It's like I've gained a new home, and I'm thrilled to spend most of my days there. I owe this transformation to The Building Doctors, who have made my life more comfortable and saved me money on utility bills.
I'm grateful for their expertise and commitment to delivering exceptional results. -
We hired Building Doctors for a substantial energy upgrade project, which involved attic, crawlspace, and garage renovations. We're pleased with their service, particularly Dan's initial consultation, which was more approachable and transparent than what we'd seen elsewhere.
Dan's expertise and assessment put us at ease, and his team executed the project efficiently. As our plans expanded to include additional work in the garage, they were accommodating and adaptable, ensuring a seamless rollout of the project. -
They're the best contractors I've worked with in over three decades as a homeowner. Their proposal was spot on, covering every aspect. The quality of their work is superb, and they kept to schedule. When unexpected issues arose – they always did – the team came up with clever solutions that were fair and reasonable.
After upgrading my insulation and replacing my HVAC system, I've seen a massive 60% reduction in utility bills and noticed a huge improvement in comfort levels at home. The transition from a three-zone setup to a single 3.5-ton unit has been seamless – no more hot or cold spots anywhere. It's now consistently the same temperature throughout the house, regardless of season.
I wish I'd done this upgrade 20 years ago. Since the initial remodel, I've called on Building Doctors for smaller jobs several times, and they've consistently delivered top-notch work at a fair price. Their reliability and expertise are unmatched. -
Very good job.
-
The crew tackled a substantial task over several days. They consistently notified me of their arrival times and elaborated on their work whenever inquired. The team members demonstrated exemplary professionalism throughout the process.
-
Received emergency service on a Saturday, responded promptly and efficiently. Upgrade work done well too. Eleyes and his team were highly professional - would definitely recommend their services to others.
-
We hired this company to clean our air ducts. They arrived on time as promised and got the job done within the scheduled timeframe. The staff were extremely friendly and demonstrated a good understanding of their work. We're very satisfied with the service and plan to use them again in the future.

US Comfort answered my call quickly and got someone out to fix a low-flow sink issue. The technician, Porfirio, showed up promptly and was professional. He diagnosed the problem and explained how to prevent future issues. The repair was done on the same day and payment was handled through an app. I'm satisfied with the service and would definitely call US Comfort again for any other needs - they've earned my trust.
-
US Comfort did a top-notch job installing Google Nest devices - doorbell, cameras, and thermostat. From start to finish, I was kept in the loop about what was being done, when it was done, and how everything worked. The technicians were thorough, tidy, and made sure I knew my new setup inside out. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail.
-
I had an excellent experience with this company's electrician services. The technician arrived on time, was courteous and extremely knowledgeable. They efficiently fixed my electrical problems and the cost was reasonable. I'm impressed by their quality work and plan to use them again soon, as they've earned my trust.
-
US Comfort delivered top-notch service! They replaced an old evaporative cooler on my roof with a new one that I had purchased beforehand. The team arrived promptly and did the job flawlessly. Elias went above and beyond by offering to clean my solar panels for free. His professionalism, kindness, and competitive pricing made him a pleasure to work with. If I ever need similar work done again, I'd definitely choose US Comfort/Elias without hesitation.

Had to get my AC/Heater fixed after mine just gave up. I chose US Comfort because a neighbor raved about their work a couple of years back. Within two days, Elias from US Comfort came by with an estimate, and the crew started working soon after that. They showed up on time, were pleasant, and left everything clean when they finished. Over the four-day installation, Elias kept in touch, answered my questions, and made sure everything went smoothly. The whole process was hassle-free, and I'm thrilled with the outcome. What really sealed the deal for me is their 5-year warranty - a rare perk among HVAC companies. US Comfort delivered top-notch service, expertise, and professionalism, making it an excellent experience.

Dealing with Elyes from US Comfort was a deeply frustrating experience that left a lasting impact on me. From the start, he displayed a complete lack of professionalism, which set the tone for the entire ordeal. He arrived late by 2.5 hours, seemingly without any regard for my time or schedule. When he finally showed up, I caught him changing clothes in front of my house, which only added to his already questionable demeanor.
As we began the installation process, it became clear that Elyes was completely unprepared and disorganized. He repeatedly yelled at me, dismissed my concerns, and made me feel belittled and disrespected as a customer. Despite my repeated attempts to communicate with him about the need for permits, he refused to take responsibility for obtaining them, instead shifting the blame onto me.
When I discovered that he had never obtained the necessary permits, he became aggressive and defensive, sending me a text with an incomplete permit application and claiming it was the actual permit. The situation escalated further when the woman at the Building & Safety office intervened on my behalf, asking if she should call the police to help me.
Elyes's behavior continued to deteriorate throughout the project, with him becoming increasingly abusive and confrontational whenever I complained about issues such as gas leaks or system failures. He claimed that the gas company was responsible for the leak, despite them shutting off my supply and locking it down themselves.
As the situation reached a boiling point, Elyes became even more erratic, refusing to address my concerns or repair the gas leak until I threatened to fire him. When he did finally agree to fix the issue, he accused me of causing the problem myself or hiring someone to do so. This was just one of many outlandish claims he made during our interactions.
In a shocking display of hubris and disregard for customer satisfaction, Elyes then had the audacity to install cameras throughout my house without my consent, claiming that I was somehow manipulating the city inspector. He also unplugged my heating system, leaving me vulnerable in the winter.
When I fired Elyes and US Comfort, I knew it was only a matter of time before he tried to deceive me again. And so, when he sent me some misleading information about the inspection findings, I took action, filing a complaint with the CSLB for financial damages. To my surprise, Elyes lost the arbitration and was forced to pay a significant award.
The entire ordeal has left me shaken, not only by Elyes's outrageous behavior but also by the fact that his contractor's license had been suspended due to unpaid fines against another complainant. It's clear that Elyes prioritized his own interests over customer satisfaction, and I would strongly advise others to avoid working with him.
In hindsight, it's astonishing that I didn't discover more red flags about Elyes and US Comfort before hiring them. If you're considering using their services, make sure to thoroughly research their licenses and reputation before proceeding. Trust me when I say that it's not worth the risk. -
