Working with Artisan & Co. and their owner, Lester, was an enjoyable and enlightening experience. We collaborated with Lester and his team to construct a 2,800 square foot home. Despite his busy schedule, Lester remained incredibly enthusiastic about our project. He took the time to meet with my husband, Julian, and me, ensuring that we were always informed and supported throughout the process. While there were occasional challenges in aligning timelines with our expectations, Lester consistently found solutions to keep us on track. The overall work quality exceeded our initial expectations. Although Lester and his company were highly recommended, we were initially skeptical. However, Lester, his manager Alex, and his foreman Mario quickly changed our minds. If you’re seeking a reliable and skilled contractor, Artisan & Co. is the right choice. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for a reference. Thank you, Artisan & Co.!

I had a gas leak at one of our restaurants in Woodland Hills and a ceiling collapsed in Encino. Since it closer to the weekend we need someone that knows what they are doing and work fast. One phone call to Lester and he was super kind to send Brian and Mario two this best guy to help us.He found the source of the leaks and quickly get to work. There isnt anyone else I trust. Lester and his team are the best. Price is fair. Excellent service! Superb quality of work. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful experience working with Artisan & Co. for my 1080sqft ADU and 100sqft kitchen addition project. After coming across Lester’s informative posts on Nextdoor, I reached out to him, and I’m glad I did. From the initial consultation to the final touches, Artisan & Co. demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to excellence.
Lester, the owner, and his team were proactive in communication, ensuring that I was updated every step of the way. Their attention to detail was remarkable, and the quality of workmanship exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for reliable and skilled contractors for your home renovation needs, I highly recommend Artisan & Co.
