                                                       Letter of Recommendation                                                                            D.H.B. & B.G.S. Works, Inc.

                                                     

Zeev came to meet with us to discuss the detailed nature of our remodeling job. Zeev was very professional and did a walk through to see what part of the house would be affected by the remodeling and construction.  Gathering all of the information, Zeev said that he would get back to us within one week with a proposal.  This was my first good impression of this contractor.  Most other contractor that I interviewed said that it would take approximately 2-4 weeks to get back to me with a proposal.

 Upon our acceptance of the proposal, D.H.B. & B.G.S. Works, Inc. wrote up a contract.  With the contract, Zeev provided us with the proof of Workmen’s Comp. Ins., Liability Insurance, Bonded and also their Contractor’s License.  This again impressed me, since it is very critical that before selecting a contractor a homeowner needs to know that they will be fully protected from any liabilities during the construction period.  Another investigation by the homeowner is to check with the State Contractor’s Board on the validity and integrity of the contractor.  D.H.B. & B.G.S. Works, Inc. checked out with flying colors.  I even contacted other references that were listed by D.H.B. & B.G.S. Works, Inc. All of the contacts had high reviews of Zeev and Daniel.

After carefully evaluating several contractors, my husband and I came to an agreement that we will have our construction job to be done by D.H.B. & B.G.S. Works Inc. 

 After signing the contract, D.H.B. & B.G.S. Works Inc. provided to the homeowner a payment schedule.  Everything was indicated on this payment schedule as to what would be covered in the contract cost and what additional amounts would be liable from the homeowner.

 Another thing that greatly impressed me was the time frame that Zeev said he could get our remodeling job done.  He said he could get it done within 6 weeks.  However, to allow an additional 1-2 weeks for the inspection of each phase of the construction.  Our remodeling job was completed in 5 weeks and this included the city inspector’s time. Other contractors gave us an estimate time of 3-6 months.

From the day that our construction job began, Zeev and Daniel were on site along with their crew.  Work began promptly at 8:00 A.M.  As a homeowner this is very important that the contractor comes to check the daily progress of the job.  Also should the homeowner have any questions, the contractor was readily available. 

 The work schedule and also the delivery of the supplies were well monitored that there was no down time during the course of the construction job.  Daniel (co-owner of D.H.B. & B.G.S. Works Inc.) did a fantastic job in coordinating the work schedule and also making sure that supplies were delivered on a timely basis so not to create any down-time.

 Each craftsmen were professional and well skilled in their specified trade.  As I observed each worker and the results of their workmanship, I also saw that each trade’s person took great pride in their job. 

 After each day of work, the work area was cleaned and kept clear of any debris and other material that might be hazardous and of danger to the homeowner. 

 I get up every day and admire the fantastic job that D.H.B. & B.G.S. Works, Inc. did for us. We are 100% satisfied and happy with this remodeling job.  Our master bathroom turned out so beautiful.  The travertine that we used in the shower stall and also on the bathroom floor is just so beautiful.  Thank you, Daniel for recommending that we use the travertine tile in our shower stall.  And thank you Zeev for making the adjustment in the design of the master bathroom. We are so pleased that we went with a larger shower stall.

 To sum it up, thank you Zeev and Daniel for being such great contractors and for producing such a fantastic end results.  The homeowner’s satisfaction is 100% happy and pleased.  We will enjoy our newly remodeled home for years to come. 

 If there is anyone that wishes to call me with more customer satisfaction and recommendation comments, please call me at (310) 897-5389.

 Thank you.

 Sincerely,


Joy & Mel Saito

We recently contracted DHB & BGS works (Zev & Daniel) for a complete remodeling of our kitchen. As someone who has had a number of experiences dealing with contractors, I was NOT looking forward to such a huge project while being 7 months pregnant.  However, Zev & Daniel are totally different from anyone I have ever worked with. They are professional, on time, easy to get a hold of, do what they say they will do and are trustworthy.  Their crew is courteous and easy to communicate with and they are also very good at what they do.  From the conception to the completion of my kitchen, it took about a 2 weeks.  It was so nice to work with Zev, who is an architect.  This puts them at an advantage over other general contractors as I can see that Zev really knows what he is talking about when it comes to planning out my kitchen.  He is also detail oriented and provides high quality products and craftsmanship.  Daniel is such a pleasure to work with.  He is patient, polite, trustworthy and he really listens to his clients.  Plus, he is easily accessible via email so that makes my life so much easier rather than having to get a hold of people on the phone while running after 2 little ones.  Zev also took the time to come to the tile store with us to help us pick out backsplash and flooring that will match our kitchen.  This was extremely helpful to us and I don’t think any other contractors would have taken the time out to help their clients that way.  The entire process was very smooth without any major setbacks at all.  We are so happy with our new kitchen.  It is everything we thought it was going to be…modern, beautiful, functional and most importantly we got it done within our budget.  Zev and Daniel were really good at staying within our budget which is hugely important to us.  There were a few small kinks that needed to be smoothed out after using the kitchen for a few months (and it’s typical) and they are super responsive at sending out their crew to fix all the issues.

I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to use them again in my future remodeling projects.

Thanks for a job well done. A kitchen remodel is such a large project and we were very concerned about the contractor we would use. Words can't explain how much we feel we made an excellent choice with DHB & BGS Works. Your professionalism, quality of work and punctuality, are all excellent and you're great people to work with. I fell our standards are high and you exceeded them. Well done!

During my hunt for a general contractor I had the pleasure of meeting Zeev and Daniel of DHB&BGS Works Inc. After interviewing numerous contractors I decided on Zeev based on my review of a job they had recently completed and after a discussion with the homeowner of that project. Zeev gave me a reasonable estimate and more amazingly a two and a half week completion estimate.  True to their word my remodel was complete in 2 ½ weeks and then some as I had them remodel my powder room as well, during the same time frame.

    Everything was orchestrated to perfection, as one job was completed the next wave of the trade was in. Unlike prior remodels there was no down time as there was someone here working the entire time. Not only did they design a fabulous and functional kitchen lay out, the quality of workmanship was outstanding. I cannot recommend Zeev and Daniel more highly for any project you have them do. I will certainly have them back when I begin my master bedroom remodel.

I would like to give my highest recommendation to DHB & BGS Works Inc. My overall experience with their services was very positive from the minute I contacted them for a bid until the completion of the project.  Like many business owners looking for contract work, we do not have the time or patience to deal with the typical unprofessional contractor that is common place in the construction industry.


This was my first experience with a contractor who actually answered the phone (EVERY TIME!) and showed up 15 minutes early to our arranged appointments completely prepared and ready to get to work.  I simply do not have time to waste, and DHB & BGS Works actually finished my project one week ahead of schedule!  During the entire process they gave me detailed progress reports, invoices, and updates on what the next steps were. 

They were not the cheapest bid that I received, but I went with them because I knew that they would get the job done without the drama and excuses that other contractors consistently give you.  Save yourself the headache and let DHB & BGS Works handle it!

Zev and Dan,

I just wanted to thank you both for doing a great job on our kitchen/dining/laundry addition and living room remodel.  The coordination of the job was very impressive, and one of you was there very day checking to make sure that it was done right.  The job was finished before it was scheduled to be completed. You both were great people to work with, very professional, always punctual, patient and would spend the extra time to make sure that we were satisfied. 

Before the project started, I had a picture in a magazine of what I wanted the kitchen to look like, and you did a great job of matching it as closely as you could within our budget.  I liked the fact that you had some great design ideas, and you were accommodating with our ideas and changes. 

We love how the new addition and remodeling looks and are enjoying it very much. We would definitely recommended DHB & BGS Works, Inc. to anyone.

Thanks again,

LaDonna and Joe Wise

Zeev Orlov sets the platinum standard for contractors. As new homeowners, my husband and I were newbies to the whole contractor thing, and Zeev exhibited the utmost patience (regarding the TONS of questions that we asked) and professionalism throughout the whole process. He's honest, reliable and does a great job of strategizing how to best tackle a project; you can tell his approach is well thought out from the start.

The thing we especially appreciated about Zeev was his responsiveness. I've heard horror stories about flaky, unresponsive contractors - Zeev is certainly not one of them. Left him a voicemail? He'll typically call you back within 10 minutes. Sent him an e-mail? Expect a response sometimes within minutes. This guy is super on top of his game.

Our particular project entailed redoing our deck and railings, as well as some work on the back wall of our house. The various workers he brought in for the job were all terrific - very attentive when it came to the details and all very friendly and approachable if you had any questions or concerns. Zeev himself was also visible throughout the whole process - stopping by every few days to check in and being on-site for both of the inspections to address any questions from the building inspector. He fully embraces the core of good client management: he's a busy guy, but in every dealing with him, Zeev has a way of making you feel like you're his most important client.

I couldn't imagine a better contractor to work with as an intro to "construction management," as I call it. Rest assured that when you're working with Zeev, you're in great hands.

I hired Zeev to renovate my bathroom, after reading the terrific reviews on his website and after really liking his direct, honest style.  I had already interviewed many contractors and didn't really feel comfortable trusting the job to any of them, but Zeev felt very different.

My trust turned out to be well placed.  Zeev did a terrific job -- the quality of the work, his attention to detail, and his honesty were all superb.  (He also uses very skilled craftspeople -- the tile guy, the electrician, and the plumber were all excellent.)  While he and his crew were starting the bathroom job in November 2010, we found significant structural problems with the house and hired Zeev to do the work.  He brought in a terrific structural engineer and did excellent work.  It was a really stressful project and working with Zeev made it far less so.  

He is incredibly responsible, totally honest, and a delight to work with.  

His prices are also very reasonable, particularly when you consider the quality of his work.  In fact, the only dispute we had was when I thought I owed him a few hundred dollars for something and he showed me that I actually didn't.  Now that's a contractor you can trust!

Thanks,
Robert Turner

Dear BGS Works, Inc.


Thank you for doing such a great job on my kitchen. Zev and Dan were very professional and worked very hard to get our job done.  I will fill out the Completion Form and email it back to you right away.

Sincerely,

Tomi Ford,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zeev and his crew completed a project for us in April 2011 and we couldn't be happier. We had several windows replaced and dry rot removed.

First of all, the communication throughout the project was excellent. We always knew what was being done, when and by whom. Zeev and Daniel kept us updated on issues and the process at all times.  

The workmanship was 1st rate. We are very happy with the quality of the work and how it turned out.

Also, we stayed in our house throughout the project. It can be stressful having strangers in your house, especially with 2 small kids running around. Zeev and Daniel made us feel totally at ease and they were always mindful that they were in our home.

We would hire Zeev and his crew again in a heartbeat.

Karen and Anthony Torres


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We just finished a two month renovation on our house and had an excellent experience with Zeev and his team. We interviewed most of the top contractors and they were all professional and knowledgeable. What set Zeev apart was his approach to the project - he looked at the project strategically and gave really helpful counsel up front. We knew immediately that we could rely on his expertise in an area where we had none. Zeev is also super trustworthy and honest and his team is great. Everyone was really nice and they even worked around our little one's nap schedule for the last few weeks of the project which was tremendously appreciated. I totally recommend hiring Zeev if you care about your home and value high quality craftsmanship.

Zeev Orlov is a first-rate general contracting firm who put the needs of their customers first. As a general contractor myself I've observed and admired Zeev responsible, professional, thorough and experienced approach. I've visited a number of his projects where he's delivered design and high quality construction on time and on budget for many satisfied customers. I recommend DHB & BGS Works Inc without reserve.

Sincerely,
Barbara L.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't say enough nice things about DHB & BGS Works Inc.
I hired Zeev through a friend's recommendation and am so glad I did.
To make my rear deck safer, Zeev and Daniel repaired and replaced a lot of the substructure on the deck, due to rot & mold & termite damage/decay.

He came out initially to inspect and give me an estimate, and we agreed upon the work, the price and time frame.

Punctual:  he always showed up on time, when he said he would, and called the one time he was going to be late.  They worked long and full days. The work took as long as he said it would, no longer.

Honest: he only did the work that needed to be done, nothing extra. He showed me anything along the way that was going to be done. I felt completely comfortable with his skills and ability to do the work.
I also felt completely comfortable leaving him here alone, and giving him the garage keys.  He is completely trustworthy.

Pricing: he is fair and competitively priced, and well worth your money.

Communication: could not have been clearer, his understanding of construction and process is extensive.

Neat: his crew swept and cleaned up the work site after every single day they were here, put their tools away in the neatest arrangements I have ever seen.

Quality: superb construction.

Overall: whether you have a small job (he even planed down my front door which had been sticking and needed adjustment), or large (building decks and remodeling), Zeev is such a nice person, with such a clear communication style and honest business practice, I don't think you'll find a better contractor to do your work.

I will definitely use him again.

Jennifer M.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My wife and I recently bought a small home in LA and needed more than just a contractor to do some work, we needed someone to help guide us through the whole process of selecting the best products for the job and our space. Zeev was even kind enough to go with us to a few tile and design places to make sure we were buying the best quality products and were exposed to all the possible options available to us. His advice is invaluable, and the best part is, he was always realistic about what type of job can be done within your budget.  I never got the feeling that he was trying to take short-cuts or sell me into something expensive.  His recommendations are thoughtful, well-meaning, and honest.  

We spent weeks and weeks deliberating on certain aspects of our bathroom re-model, and if we had consulted Zeev earlier in the process it would have saved us a lot of time.  There are tons of contractors and construction people out there. We did the research on a lot of them and not only is Zeev first rate, but he's very easy going and professional. We're going to absolutely use him again.  Home re-models and construction work is super stressful and having a contractor that  delivers on every aspect of the job (and then some) is a huge relief.

Thanks Zeev,
Allen and Judy P.

To: DHB & BGS Works Inc,

Zeev re-vamped the bathroom in my condo, and he is amazing:on time, and fair in his billing-practices.
 He is a master designer, and is precise in everything he does. His crew cleans up after themselves, and do there very best to minimize the disruption that such a project sometimes entails.
Thanks to Zeev, my once depressing loo is now a pleasure to behold...efficient use of the space, and the "fit and finish" is perfect.
 Next....on to the kitchen!!
 My ex-boss/now friend recommended Zeev, and it's the best clue he ever gave me! So, thanks, Zeev!!

Best Regards,
Margaret S.

Dear DHB & BGS Works Inc,

Can't say enough great things about DHB & BGS Works Inc. I have hired DHB for several projects in my home and business.  

The contracted business projects have included building a stage, wiring electrical panels and installing new plugs, building a new sound booth, repairing a walk in refrigerator, painting. Prior to opening our business doors Zeev walked through all inspector visits ensuring construction met code standards. All contracted projects were completed in a timely manner with no extras. Zeev diligently worked with my partners and I finding materials for the jobs at best value. Zeev communicated clearly what each project entailed (materials, cost, labor hours) meeting all his estimates on target.

I highly recommend DHB & BGS Works Inc. Their work is skilled craftsmanship, resourceful, efficient  and competitively priced. Finding a good contractor is like finding a good mechanic....you want good quality work without having to be overestimated or useless extras.

Mark Paul


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was interested in remodeling two bathrooms and Zeev was recommended by a friend. I called him on a Tuesday and he returned my call on Wednesday and we set up an appointment for the following Friday. He arrived at the appointed time and we talked for about one hour and he was extremely helpful in clarifying my ideas. My husband and I decided to get a bid and when it came in it was reasonable for the work that was to be done.
We set a date to begin construction and he and his crew were on time and proceeded to protect my floors, and the surrounding areas.. he had used subcontractors for some of the work who were also on time, clean, efficient and friendly and again easy to work with. The project was accomplished in a timely fashion and I am extremely pleased with the results. I am hiring him to do my large backyard deck which he will begin work within one week. Again, he was helpful, accommodating and very professional and pleasure to work with.

Thank You,
Susan & Brian Ruth

From: Adam P.
To: DHB & BGS Works Inc,


Contractors are all shady, corner-cutting bozos, right?  WRONG.  Here's how Zeev showed me the light:

Myth - Contractors do shoddy work whenever possible (and just hope they can fool you into thinking it's ok until they are paid and out of sight).
Busted - Zeev did EXCELLENT work.  We did a full kitchen remodel in our home last fall.  This home is over 100 years old - the floors are slopping, the walls aren't straight, hell there were weird pipes sticking out of the wall.  Zeev's crew installed our cabinets with such precision that they appear completely level (even though I think it's physically impossible in our house).  When we had a mini-leak a few weeks after the project was completed from a newly installed vent, Zeev's plumber was out to fix it quickly, was apologetic and didn't charge us.  I have total faith that he does top quality work, and he is definitely interested in making sure you are happy with it.

Myth - Contractors will bid super low to get the work and then charge you through the nose with "unforeseen add ons" throughout the project.
Busted - We considered a number of contractors and solicited bids (which some didn't even bother to give us).  Zeev came in at a very reasonable price.  We did have a few add ons that were legitimately unforeseen and unavoidable, however they weren't budget breakers by any means.  I would say the value we got for our money was excellent.

Myth - Contractors overbook their schedule and jump from job to job so you can never really get them all to yourself, resulting in massive delays in your project timeline.
Busted - Zeev was very professional about keeping to a timeline.  Since my wife is a project manager and I am pretty anal as well about project timelines, this was a big plus.  In fact, WE were the bottleneck at various points (opposed to him) since we couldn't provide the cabinets by the time he was ready for them.  He was quite dedicated to our job - we had him and his crew pretty much full time through the project.  He was also very fast.  The best example is when we chose the hardwood floor in the morning and by the time we came home that night - the floor was installed!  Holy cow, that was fast.

Myth - Contractors will do the most unsafe work possible to cut their costs.
Busted - Zeev patiently walked us through city codes and why they actually had merit - especially when it was for safety reasons.  He was very in tune with how to do things right and in a safe manner.  He's the kind of contractor you would trust to baby sit your kids.

Myth - All contractors are bozos.
Busted - Zeev was a really nice guy and easy to work with.  He is laid back and has a very communicative style, which we liked.  He would call if ever he was unsure of what we wanted before doing it (trust me, this is a good thing - as undoing demolition or construction is not a fast or cheap process).  As an additional bonus, his crew is just as much a class act.  I would work with all of them again (and already have).

Zeev busted all my nightmare contractor myths - let him bust yours!

Thanks Zeev,


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zeev is one great contractor:  kind, smart, reliable, efficient, and well-priced.  Is that possible, you might ask . . .In the space of about 2 weeks, Zeev transformed my 60's era ugly kitchen into a stylish, efficient stainless-steel and cabineted dream.  He and his project manager Daniel showed up like clockwork every day at 8:00AM and amazed me daily with their progress.  Zeev knows his stuff:  permits, LA building code, trouble-shooting, how to make the most of a space on a budget.  He also went above and beyond in many respects - like picking up my tiles, suggesting decorative touches, replacing some parts for my sink on his own dime.  They were even nice to my dog, letting her hang out with them while they worked.  So things were a bit dusty in the house for a couple of weeks (understandable - and Zeev/Daniel did put up a plastic barrier to minimize the mess). So that was a small price to pay for a job well done.  We are psyched with the results and would use Zeev again in a heartbeat.

Sandra Moore.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last week we completed a kitchen remodel done by Zeev Orlov.  I cannot say enough good things about this contractor.  His bid was competitive and his work was exceptional and completed on time and he is easy to work with. His suggestions were very much in line with what I envisioned and the result is beautiful as well as functional.  I would not hesitate to have him do other remodel work in my house.

Truly Yours,
Carol and Nelson Green


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Whom This May Concern,

We contracted Zeev for our kitchen remodel. He was referred by a friend.  I described the project to Zeev he had good suggestions and ideas on how to proceed: we wanted to tear down a closet to open up space in the kitchen, and replace cabinets and appliances. His bid was lower than the other person we talked to, and I liked his ideas and approach better.  
Zeev started the work on time and gave consistently accurate estimates of when things would happen. He was careful with dust and trash.  We got our kitchen done in 2 weeks, including a couple of little extra projects that we decided to add to the original plan.  
The quality of the work is great, all inspections were passed the first time.  We really like our kitchen.

I really recommend Zeev! Ask him for my reference and I'll be glad to talk to you.

Vincent and Kathy Lee


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am in love. I thought I would never feel this way again. But here I am swooning like a lovesick teenager...over my new kitchen.  Zeev Orlov (aka DHB & BGS Works Inc) and his merry band of consummate professionals made it all come together.
When we decided to finally undertake our kitchen remodel we were bound and determined not to end up in contractor hell. You know, like all the stories you hear about- jobs taking months longer than estimated, costs going way over budget, contractor missing in action etc.. So we interviewed more than a half dozen contractors to try and find the right fit. Zeev's price estimate was reasonable and his estimate for how long the job would take was 3 weeks less than our other *finalist*. So we checked references, considered all options and picked DHB & BGS Works Inc.
We could not be happier with our choice. Zeev has been great. He is hardworking and his guys showed up on BART to work. The hard work is also excellent and detail oriented work. Zeev is reliable, fair and reasonable in every way. Zeev was also highly responsive -he made himself available to answer questions pretty much whenever we had one. When there was even a minor change to the estimate, Zeev explained what was going on and why there was a change. (i.e dry rot found) Zeev also was good natured about flip flopping decision making and took it all in stride. Thankfully, Zeev also has a sense of humor. When you have someone in your home daily for months ripping out walls and going in your closets a sense of humor is pretty damn important. The crew and subcontractors were all courteous and honest as well.
So no horror stories or nightmares to tell here. Just a dream kitchen come true in the time frame promised. All is truly copasetic.

Many Thanks,
Kimberly & Daniel Hill


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zeev was the clear choice over a number of other contractors I interviewed for a complete remodeling, including a gut job on the kitchen. They clearly understood my goals, needs, budget, anxieties, the works.
Zeev and Daniel worked tirelessly to make sure everything turned out correctly and the way I wanted. They picked up on my view for the place and advised well on options. Zeev checked every detail with me as we went along, so there was never a chance of something coming out wrong. Daniel, is another real jewel in the crown, quality work all the way and great ideas.
They certainly overcame some past nightmares I've had with other contractors. Zeev was wonderful to work with, and the job they did was just outstanding. They were the best choice I've ever made for work on several remodel jobs in the last 30 years!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am currently having my addition built and finished by DHB & BGS Works, Inc.  I have met with Zeev and Dan.  They are professional and hardworking.  I am particularly impressed with their wide ranging knowledge, attention to detail, dependability, and they work every day, sometimes even on the weekends.  I am very pleased and I tell all my friends about them.  

Thanks guys!
Laura and John Parker


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DHB and BGS Works, Inc is an excellent choice for new construction and remodeling work. First I hired them to do an addition to our house and then I decided to hire them again to remodel the kitchen, Install new cabinets and repaint the house. Both jobs were completed on time and within the established budget. Zeev made several important suggestions that improved the initial design. The quality of work is good and the construction crew did everything to correct minor deficiencies to my satisfaction.
Highly recommended

Zev did a mid size remodel on the upstairs of our home.  We added a bathroom, remodeled an existing one and created a master suite.  Outstanding work, no hassles, and creative problem solving added up to a great experience.  Subs were by and large very professional.  And Zev was not lowest bidder. But he sure is worth every penny. I would recommend him without hesitation for any size project.

The short version:  
Zeev and Dan are AMAZING!  I'd hire him for another project again in a heartbeat.

The long version:
After talking with 5 contractors, we selected Zeev to do a major house remodel that included gutting my entire house to the studs and rebuilding it with all new plumbing, electrical, floors, walls, ceilings, lighting, cabinets, tile, fixtures, etc.  You get the picture.  Our project took about 1 month from start to finish.

While Zeev wasn't the absolute cheapest bid, his was highly competitive.  The thing that sold us on Zeev was his excellent interpersonal skills and the other great references we talked to before deciding.

Zeev started and finished on time and on budget.  He was ultra reasonable about making changes and adjustments during our project, and even suggested several changes that greatly enhanced our finished project.

Zeev has an eye for small details, but knows the big picture too.  And, he's an all-around nice guy to work with on a project.

Thanks Guys, Your the Best!

I can't say enough good things about Zeev Orlov and Daniel!  In late April, Zeev signed up to do a pretty extensive remodel (fully gut the place and re-build it, including a new kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc).  He told me he could have it done in Mid-July, which everyone told me was impossible.  I just got off the phone with Zeev and the place is going to be totally done tomorrow.  Incredible!  

Being a first time home-owner, Zeev held my hand throughout the entire process.  He was a fantastic communicator and told me exactly what work was going to be performed when and what was needed in order to keep the project on time.  He was so patient with me as I asked all my rookie questions.  He also had great suggestions for different suppliers.  Not only was he great at overseeing and managing the project, but he did a fantastic job at managing me and keeping me happy.

I highly recommend Zeev and Daniel for any project -- big or small.

To: Zeev & Daniel (aka DHB & BGS Works Inc),

In short, Zeev and his team are amazing. Zeev created a whole new room in our home. We thought we'd just add a wall, some sheet rock and paint and call it done. Zeev listened to what we wanted and made very smart suggestions that significantly enhanced the beauty and functionality of the room. When we thought we would have to put down tile over the painted wood floors, Zeev's team was able to strip paint off and restore them beautifully. They added recessed lighting, beautiful finishes, custom cabinets, insulation, and frosted glass doors that make our new "laundry room" the nicest space in the house. Of particular importance in a house with two babies, Zeev's team was so meticulous, neat and friendly that we didn't have to interrupt our daily routine to accommodate the 2 week project. All of this, AND he stayed in our budget. I've worked with many contractors in Los Angeles on many different sized projects and Zeev is definitely the best. On to the next project..

Zeev built a new home for me a year ago and it turned out great. He's a skilled and creative builder and is a person of integrity. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again if I still lived in the area.
