  SOD Home Group

  SOD Home Group is seriously the best group of people to work with! They turned around my complete house - kitchens, bathrooms, floors, patio, backyard and studio were all renovated. It was a complete overhaul and a tremendous job. Everything was so well done, but in particular I need to give a shout out to the work they did converting the garage into an open plan studio unit I can now Airbnb. That work is truly beautiful and has been noticed by guests and realtors for its quality! To give you some context–before SOD Home Group redid my house, it was an old house that had been shown little love over the years. The original bathrooms were in such a sad state–the showers leaked into the basement whenever the water ran. There was little to no natural light in the house at all. Eden from SOD Home Group helped me to redesign the entire house to modernize it into a beautiful home! Oren oversaw the entire project for 18 months so really so much credit for this job goes to him (see further down for even more of my recommendation!) We started with the bathrooms, which was a complete overhaul of the tiling, toilet, shower, vanity, etc. For the shower, they tarred and sealed the base of the shower completely–which has turned out beautifully. Then we did the kitchen which again was a complete overhaul job. Cabinets, countertop, appliances, cutting a hole in the wall to accommodate the new countertop island… it was all handled so well! Then we did floors… for the entire house! These floors are gorgeous–they’re treated reclaimed barn wood with beautiful texture and grain. I recommend asking for them to be double waxed (just my preference) because I like to make sure they’re very smooth, but some people prefer the rougher texture under foot. All the walls inside and outside the house were completely painted. We worked hard to figure out the color scheme. Oren has a great sense of color–he was such a great help in this process!!! I went with a simple gray and white for the exterior paint, which let the natural red brick and wood of the craftsman shine through! I’m so happy with the results–it makes the house look brand new!!! Then the Pearl team moved on to the garage/studio conversion. This was such an epic job I can’t even describe!!! As we began digging, we found that the old garage unit was missing a foundation! Because of city regulations, we couldn’t move any of the existing walls in the remodel, so Oren and his amazing team actually dug under the existing structure and installed a cement foundation!!! This was an epic undertaking and we followed the city codes very closely. Everything was done to code and done amazingly well! The results really speak for themselves, so look at the photos–I now have a 400 sq ft open plan self-contained studio I can rent or AirBnB for additional income! And finally, the team moved on to the backyard and patio! This involved knocking down existing brick wall and digging up 6ft deep concrete installed by the previous owner, which was a complete eyesore to the property! My backyard isn’t big enough to accommodate a bobcat, so the team spent weeks digging up this concrete slab with jackhammers and shovels! What was installed in its place is a beautiful firepit, garden wall, and a new cedar wood fence. They also installed pavers as footpath and new garden boxes for growing herbs. Oren also brought in a team to install a patio cover, which now provides beautiful shade for parties during the day! SOD Home Group did such a great job throughout the whole house, were so professional, and really went out of their way to make sure everything was the best. I had my home revalued shortly after the renovation and it skyrocketed in value because of the work from SOD Home Group. Finally, if you get the chance to be so lucky, ask to work with Oren. You’ll be thankful you did! I’ve worked with him for the past 18 months and I can say without a doubt he put his heart into the project and went out of his way to make sure I was happy with the results. He has impeccable taste, attention to detail, and a big heart for his clients - all winning combinations for a stellar project manager! He has a wonderful network of people who can get him the best deals on materials - he’s loved and trusted by his team! Oren follows up with his clients to make sure everything is working perfectly and to make sure you are truly happy with the result. Oren is a truly good, honest and hardworking guy and I’d work with him again in a heartbeat! I cannot recommend SOD Home Group and Oren and his team highly enough! Hire these people - they are good people who won’t let you down!

  SOD Home Group

  This is a first for us but we knew we had to give SOD Home Group a good review here. Oren and his team did a stunning remodeling job. We originally wanted to remodel the entire first floor of our home and also add a new room so we have been searching and searching for contractors for a while. Our search for a reliable and good contractor ended once we met with Oren. When he heard our ideas and plans, he went back to his office and established a development plan that fits our budget perfectly. Also, Oren and his team nailed this project and made it exactly as we were hoping for. They handled our home as if it was their own and delivered fantastic results.

  SOD Home Group

  SOD Home Group are definitely impressive remodeling company. They are one of the best here in LA and for good reasons. We had several options to choose from but our first point of contacting with Oren was so compelling that we really wanted to sign up right away. Oren and the people who are working in SOD Home Group are not just a regular contractors BUT absolutely different from all the other ones we met. Also during the process of the remodeling and with the final results. Our experience with Oren is certainly one of the highlights of our remodeling and that by itself say a lot for a developer. Totally worth the time and money. We got our money’s worth.

  SOD Home Group

  We had interviewed nearly ten companies over the phone and at least five in-person before we landed on Oren with SOD Home Group for our garage-to-ADU conversion. Though the estimate was on the higher end of our quotes, we decided that we may get what we pay for, and we were right. We went with Oren because of the detail he went through in the several areas of possible red flags and considerations for our specific property that other contractors missed. It proved to us that he was knowledgeable and wasn't going to sugar coat things, even from the start. He was punctual and professional, and not salesy or pushy or overly casual like the other contractors we interviewed. Little did I know how grateful we would be to have chosen Oren and SOD Home Group, because with all of the permitting delays we ran into with the city (not due to Pearl), we would be in a relationship with this contractor for almost a year, communicating daily for many long stretches. Because of the length and frequency of contact, we are blessed that we went with someone whose personality and professionalism were top notch. Oren was through and through an honest and responsive man, consistently giving us thorough yet simple explanations throughout a sometimes-complicated process. Even when some small mistakes were made, which anyone would make, there was never any drama or excuses. He would assess the situation then eat the cost and get the job done right and swiftly. The workmanship from his subcontractors were solid and high quality. Our foreman was also professional and reliable. Especially in the time of COVID-19, Oren always wore masks, kept social distancing a high priority, and were very respectful with all of our questions and concerns. At the end, Oren charged us exactly what he quoted us (plus a couple extra features we opted into midway). Oren, if you're reading this, thank you so much for handling our project with the utmost care and respect. We couldn't have imagined working with anyone else, and we will be referring you to all of our friends and families. Also, you're just a really great guy. We enjoyed getting to know you as a person too. We wish you all the success!

  SOD Home Group

  We have worked with Oren at SOD Home Group twice now with great exWe have worked with Oren at SOD Home Group twice now with great experiences and results both times. The first project was a full kitchen/bath/living/dining room gut & remodel. Not only did Oren ‘get’ what we were looking for (ie.not another cookie cutter remodel) and use his design expertise to bring it to life, but he and his team also finished several weeks ahead of schedule and not a penny over the original quote - amazing and practically unheard of! The second, and most recent, project was building a pool and spa in our backyard - we didn’t even think twice in choosing Oren and SOD Home Group to take on this task. Once again, we were thoroughly impressed with the knowledge, advice, design and efficiency the SOD Home Group team gave us. From start to finish Oren was on hand to guide us through every stage of the process, and having never built a pool before we were extremely grateful for his expertise and patience. No question was too big or small (and believe me we had a lot of questions!) and he was always quick to respond and troubleshoot anything that came up which gave us such peace of mind throughout. He has also been on hand for any settling in issues that have arisen with the new pool and remedied them quickly. There was one occasion when Dino came to our aid with an issue and he was just as helpful and efficient as Oren always is which leaves me in no doubt that whomever you work with at SOD Home Group you will have a great experience. We recommend SOD Home Group to friends all the time - give them a call, you won’t regret it!experiences and results both times.

  SOD Home Group

  My wife and I were looking to completely open up our kitchen and bring into a modern aesthetic. As you can see in the pictures, we had a very cramped galley style kitchen with 80s style red oak and old appliances. Our project managers, David and Oren, were very easy to work with and understood what we were looking for and made sure to incorporate our needs throughout the design. They were able to remove two major walls to open up the kitchen, and their designer Natali did an amazing job of reconfiguring the cabinets to give us an ample amount of storage. Overall, I'd highly recommend working with SOD Home Group, and specifically with Oren and David. They were very professional, always attentive to our numerous texts and concerns even on the weekends (we were those annoying clients lol). They handled everything with an easygoing nature that was straightforward and honest. We look forward to working with them again on any projects we have in the future! Thanks guys

  Fine Builders Inc

  Fine Builders is amazing. They did extensive work in our family room (demo, drywall, painting, tile work, electrical, flooring...). They worked quickly and precisely. They took care of every detail, were attentive, and worked quickly. They were easy to work with and their communication was also excellent. I can't recommend them enough. We were very satisfied and would definitely use them again.

  SOD Home Group

  Oren at SOD Home Group remodeled our kitchen from the start to end, from upper and lower cabinets to the flooring, appliances, paint, plumbing, electricity and everything in between. His team did a stunning work. Oren made sure that everything will be installed perfectly and that the new kitchen will be no less than perfect. He went above the normal things that a normal contractor will go and we felt that he treat this project like it was his own. His carpenter guy took the outdated cabinets and turned them into brand new (which saved us a lot of money), rebuild some new cabinets in order to accommodate a built-in refrigerator and a new microwave drawer. They showed up on time, every day and worked towards the weekly goals of the kitchen remodeling. We could not be more satisfied and will be using them again on our master bath renovation as well.

  Affordable Handyman and Remodeling Services

  Jose and his workers are great; they will even move furniture that has nothing to do with the repairs if requested. I seemed to have several shorts; all were found and fixed. All of my lights are finally working again! The roofing project also went very well, as they were able to match the rest of the roof; even though I had the name of the color wrong. From looking at the quality of the work; I think it will hold up even in the winds we get here. Jose is a dog lover, he took the time to learn the dogs names, and made sure to watch the escape artist so we didn't have to go chase her. When I'm ready for my next project I will call on Affordable Handyman again.
