We had a really great experience working with Lior and his team. Referred to us by another contractor we trust, he did not disappoint in the least. He helped us remodel our backyard, putting in an outdoor built-in BBQ, pavers, a new Pergola, installed Turf, 2 decks, and lighting throughout. The finish product is just "wow". The photos I think speak for themselves. From the beginning, his eye for design and attention to detail was apparent, and was a refreshing surprise from previous experiences with contractors. You could tell he was organized from the detail he put in the scope of work document alone, which just set the stage for clear communication, reasonable expectations, and fair pricing. He actually listened and offered ideas along the way that complimented the design and enhanced our vision, to make an even better final product. His crews were great (even let my daughter take a picture in the bobcat); timely, professional, and clean. Each phase was efficiently done, and when we ran into issues, Leo stepped in, and help get it solved. You really can't ask for more from a G.C. I would highly recommend working with Leo and Adept. He is honest, hardworking, fair, professional, and a family man, which fit our values and expectations. And at the end of the day, the final product is top notch. Definitely going to be working with him again in the future!

Adept Builders & Design is a great company to do business with! They are prompt and timely with their service when it comes to scheduling. As far as workmanship they just cannot be beaten and I would recommend them over any other company in the Beverly Glen area (even LA). I highly recommend hiring Adept Builders & Design for few reasons: 1. The estimate was done by the owner. 2. The crew is very skilled. 3. They were efficient, responsive, and easy to communicate with. 4. Our old wood decking was built about 40 years ago and it got replaced with new TREX decking and railing, it needed lots of work to bring it to code, which Adept did just that and much more. 5. Old structure was replaced and better reinforced with footings and larger structural beams and posts. 6. Railing was not just applied to deck structure but due to some of the minor concerns I had, Leo took on himself to add a beautiful metal detail to even better support the railings, without any added fee, just so we could feel safer. 7. We also let Leo (company owner) build our backyard, where we decided to use Angelus pavers, non-structural flowerbeds, and landscaping like sod/mulch/sand/gravel, etc.. Leo brought his knowledge and expertise and was able to combine our needs and wants and made it ours but without his magic touch it wouldn’t be the same! 8. While we were doing all that I have explained we decided to redo our driveway and we knew he is the only one doing it and again from old cracked concrete to beautiful new one in a matter of 2 days! 9. The ice on the cake is that Leo was always available, I really mean always, and as an elderly couple we knew he took care of us more than just a professional/GC will do but also seen his amazing kindness for us for our neighbors and his crew. Just a terrific person. 10. Just call Adept Builders & Design for any of your remodeling needs, they are top-notch! Thank you Leo for everything you did for us and for the amazing transformation to our front and backyards. - Portonovo S. Ayyaswamy

We initially hired Adept Builders & Design to redo our staircase and banister, and were so pleased that we asked them to also remodel our powder room immediately after our stairs were done. From initial estimate to the completion of our second project, Leo and his team have performed excellently.  They are responsive, professional, and accommodating. With COVID, all my children are distance learning at home and Leo was sensitive to our time table and worked around our needs. He's also quick to respond to emails, texts and phone calls, and all around just went above and beyond to make sure the projects were going smoothly. For our first project, Adept removed all of the old carpet from our stairs and second floor hallway, demo'd our old banister and railing, and worked closely to achieve my design vision for a clean and modern new staircase. It is now such a beautiful focal point in our home. Adept also completely remodeled our powder room, installing new flooring and a custom vanity, rewired for new sconce lighting, and subway-tiled our focal wall.  Our new powder room is simply stunning and I am beyond pleased. I highly recommend Adept Builders for all home projects. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

If I could give Leo and his team more stars I would! When we first started our project I had ideas all over the place and was really struggling to get to a final design in my own. Leo was exceptional at helping me sort through priorities and pick product. His attention to detail is impeccable, his product knowledge is impressive and his honesty and transparent communication was icing on the cake. Leo remained responsive the entire project, we never felt out of the loop and what we discussed on Day 1 was reality once the backyard was complete. He was up front on what he needed for the project to be a success and he delivered above and beyond, even fixing little things not in scope to make the landscaping perfect. Every person in Leo's crew carried the same qualities we appreciated about Leo. From the demolition crew, to installers, landscapers, and head crewman, Raul, they all were very good craftsman and delivered exceptional work. Leo's taste and design is a match for any designer and I can't wait for our next project with him, he feels like a friend we've known for ages!

My dear Casey, thank you so much for the opportunity you gave Adept and myself. I so appreciate your warm words! It was an amazing journey, short but full of life, from your morning coffee to the small talks about life and work, the bobcat pictures etc….……. I enjoyed it and learned for the first time that American Futbol games are awesome (specially from the specious seats ;-). I truly feel that we have made great bond and the personal side but not less important on the professional as well, and the end results shows! It’s sad to say goodbye but I know that you guys are happy and the little princess will have lots of room to play and family to enjoy this amazing backyard. Lots of love and see you on the next one .

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  - Adept is build on transparency and we believe that lower pricing is not always the better option, it will probably come with a good amount of Change orders. For this reason we have decided to bid all projects with a true pricing that includes it all and not ask for more money after, furthermore, we are trying to advise before hand on the “unknown” elements that many times can be avoided, if been checked correctly, which at times if found in the early stages as an issue we can think about a different design \rout and yet stay on budget. -5% Discount is given to all new clients. Also, for returning clients discount can be applied but it will depend on project size, products etc... - All our contracts follow a schedule payment that follows our realtime progress (not large sum lumps).

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  - Getting to know each other - Brainstorm - Biding - Design (3D or Architecture) - Building

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  1) Graduated by Azek & Timbertech (Deck and Railing). 2) Trained to be Techo-Bloc pavers installer (by site one). 3) Trained by FastenMaster (various product). 4) Licenced by the CSLB to work as a GC. 5) The natural process of physically Learnd to build than management and than running companies in the construction industry is a great school, probably the best! 6) Self Learnd designs (interior & exterior). 7) One of the most educational process on my list is: been exposed to successful people in the industry like my friends and family.
