Constraction reviews in Van Nuys, California

I highly recommend SKS construction. SKS did earthquake retrofits on two of our 8 unit buildings in the Pico Robertson area and the process was very pleasant. Aside from obtaining permits in a timely manner, they were punctual, professional, organized and never disturbed our tenants during construction.

We recently had an ADU built by SKS construction, and the experience was outstanding. From start to finish, the team, managed by Sam, demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. Every member of the crew was respectful and hardworking, keeping the worksite clean and organized throughout the project. Sam ensured that everything ran smoothly and communicated with us at every step, making the process stress-free. The craftsmanship and quality of the final product exceeded our expectations. If you're considering an ADU project, I highly recommend this company. You won’t be disappointed!

We hired SKS as our contractor for a seismic retrofit. Outstanding work. This was a very difficult project - a multi unit building Santa Monica during a pandemic. Everything was well coordinated, on schedule, and safety protocols were maintained. This was not the cheapest bid we received but we chose them based on the quality and thoroughness of their bid. We made the right choice - no cost overruns or hassles and they finished the project on time.

I oversee a property management company and we have engaged SKS Construction on balcony inspections (per SB 721 and SB 326) on 20+ properties. I give them a 10/10 on communication, report detail, price and overall efficiency. I have used other companies for this work and decided to exclusively use SKS for the remainder of our needs, which turned out to be about 90% of our portfolio. Simon and Shahab are extremely knowledgably industry professionals and I would recommend them both. Hands down A+ work.

We selected SKS as our contractor for a seismic retrofit of our apartment building in Santa Monica. They were efficient and courteous to us as owners, and also to our tenants. Their schedule and workmanship exceeded our expectations, and their were no additional costs - everything ran exactly as they said it would.

I recommend SKS to anyone needing to complete a retrofit. A+++

We hired SKS for my family’s home in Beverly Hills for an ADU and home addition. We added additional square footage in the main house and an extra unit in the backyard. I could not be happier with our choice. When doing a remodel it can be so stressful but SKS handled everything from start to finish. From planning options, design, and construction, they did it all efficiently and affordably.

The entire team was amazing and had so much patience walking us through the process. Big thank you to Sam, Shahab, Paul and the rest of the SKS team!

We got a few bids from various construction companies, and SKS Construction bid was the best, not to mention their efficient & constructible engineering design. Sam and his team are fantastic to work with. They are professional, efficient, transparent, and do their best to accommodate our needs. Thank you SKS Construction team for being a great partner for our seismic retrofit project.

We've hired SKS Construction to perform SB326 inspection on some of the properties we manage. They are very communicative, offers competitive pricing (if not cheaper), quality of work is top notched too. Overall Shahab and SKS Team is a pleasure to work with and we would hire time for future projects.

Had a very positive experience with SKS rebuilding a series of balconies for an apartment complex. The team was timely, responsive, thorough, and very professional. Shahab was always available to answer any questions or concerns. Our project manager Simon was great to work with and made my job coordinating with our tenants easier. Based on my very positive experience with the team, we have decided to work with them on our next earthquake retrofit.

Have now also worked with them on a seismic retrofit and again it was such a seamless, stress-free process. They handled it so efficiently and professionally, and were very accommodating to our residents. Looking forward to working together on future work!

The team at SKS worked on my apartment building of 44 units so it would be in compliance with SB 721 and they did an excellent job. They were clear with what needed to be addressed and gave me multiple solutions for each area that needed attention. Their workers were professional with both my building and the tenants that resided in it, both respecting their personal spaces and keeping working areas clean and well maintained. I now have confidence that my building balconies are up to date and safe for many years to come. I highly recommend SKS and look forward to doing business with them in the future.

We hired SKS Construction for our mandatory SB326 repairs and couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, they were professional, collaborative, and solution-oriented. Our project manager, Simon, stood out for his exceptional communication and his ability to navigate scheduling and coordination with residents—including those who could be a bit challenging.

As is typical with major construction, a few surprises came up along the way. SKS approached each one with transparency and worked closely with us to find solutions that stayed within our budget. We were especially impressed by the pride they took in their work—they went above and beyond by taking care of small adjacent repairs without being asked, such as patching and painting cracked stucco and power washing the surrounding concrete.

We highly recommend SKS Construction for any large-scale structural work. We’ll definitely be hiring them again for future projects.

We’re a small, apartment-style HOA and hired SKS Construction for siding repair and painting—and we’re so glad we did. From start to finish, they were professional, communicative, and clearly committed to doing the job right.

Simon, our project manager, was responsive, organized, and always on top of things. He worked closely with us to stay within budget while ensuring quality wasn’t compromised. Brian, who led the painting crew, was equally impressive—he’s the kind of professional who genuinely takes pride in his work. He even returned for tiny touch-ups that most contractors wouldn’t have bothered with, just to make sure everything looked perfect.

We’ll absolutely be working with SKS again on future projects and highly recommend them to other HOAs or homeowners looking for reliable, high-quality construction work.

Hired SKS Construction to do an Earthquake Seismic Retrofit on my 6 unit apartment building in the Miracle Mile area.

I got the initial bid just before the Pandemic but could not start work until June 17, 2022.

SKS Construction stood by their original pricing.

They did a fantastic job !

Started the job and continually worked each day until completed and signed off the the City of L.A.

The Armen, the job foreman, has great communication skills and we communicated frequently so that I could keep my tenants informed since they could not park on site from 8am to 5pm daily during the construction.

When there was an off day of no work (waiting for City of L.A. Inspection) Armen would let me know so I could let my tenants know they could park on site at those times.

Maibel an office Administrator at SKS construction is extremely efficient, responsive and billed exactly per the contractual terms.

This City mandated seismic retrofit is a costly project so when hiring a Contractor you want to know they will start and finish the job with efficiency and professionalism. That's exactly what SKS Construction did.

They are a Family owned business started in 1987, in business for 35 years.

I highly recommend SKS Construction and would use them in the future without hesitation.

Top Notch Service!

We worked with SKS Retrofitting on a soft-story seismic retrofit project in the South LA area and had an excellent experience. Their team was professional, organized, and clearly well-versed.

They communicated clearly throughout the project, coordinated well with engineering and inspections, and made a strong effort to minimize disruption to tenants. The job site was kept orderly, and any questions or concerns were addressed promptly.

If you’re a property owner or manager looking for a knowledgeable and reliable team to handle seismic retrofit or any other larger scale projects, SKS wont let you down.

We recently had our kitchen countertops redone in Calabasas and couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team at Milano Granite was professional, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented.

The quality of the fabrication and installation is outstanding the seams are nearly invisible, the edges are perfectly finished, and the entire space feels like a high-end custom kitchen.

They helped guide us through selecting the right stone and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The project was completed on time, and the attention to detail really shows.

If you’re looking for top-quality stone work and a team that truly cares about the final product, I highly recommend Milano Granite.

Milano Granite did an incredible job on our kitchen countertops in Malibu. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and overall quality were outstanding. The entire process was smooth and professional, and the final result completely transformed our kitchen. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for high-end stone work!

I’m a general contractor working on residential projects throughout Los Angeles, and I’ve used Milano Granite on multiple jobs over the years. They’ve become one of my go-to fabricators, and for good reason.
Their work is consistently solid, they have great craftsmanship, and are on time. They have always helped educate the end-user to make the best possible decision for their home. I will continue to use them.

Milano Granite did the fabrication and installation of all the stone countertops in my newly built home. They provided excellent insight and suggestions to help me bring my vision to life. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a stone countertop fabricator.
