Build For You

I just hired Build For You to replace my old composition roof and add gutters. From the beginning, I feel like the owner, Ilan Cohen, had a vision for my project. He gave me top-​of-​the-​line products (30-​year cool roof shingles and seamless gutters) for a competitive price. He stuck to that price even when they removed the old roof and found – surprise! – an extra layer of wood shingles, but no plywood. They did the extra work to remove the shingles and install the plywood, making my whole house more structurally secure, charging only for the extra materials at cost. Ilan and his crew were easy to work with. They even went so far as to offer to plan their lunch breaks around my daughter’s nap time during the noisy demolition phase. I’m very happy with the final result. Ilan has a designer’s eye. He helped me pick out a roof color that complements my house, inside and out. The new roof is crisp and dimensional. I wasn’t sure what to expect for the gutters, but they’re very clean and blend in with the roof’s edge. I’ve developed a rapport with Build for You and have now hired them to do additional exterior improvements.

It was a pleasure working with this company. My house needed a paint job and Ilan the contractor was great and his crew was awesome. They were respectful, on time, clean, and very professional. And on the PLUS side, the price was definitely reasonable. I will recommend these guys to anyone anytime. There were no snags and everything went very well and according to plan. Being a former Marine, I like to stick with the plan. These guys were on target. GREAT JOB.

I needed a roof repaired from a rain leak inside my pantry and a number of cabinets and doors that had chipped paint redone. Even though this was a small job, they took it on and completed it in one long nine hour day with beautiful results. The painters were outstanding, very professional and courteous men. I will call for their services again!

I contracted with Élan Cohen, of Build For You to help me get a brick wall built in my backyard. Élan was on time for our appointment, very energetic, positive, and eager to listen to what I needed.
He asked me questions, proposed a solution and provided me a written quote on the spot. The next day his team showed up to begin to clean the area so we could build the block wall. He went to the Huntington Beach City Hall to get the permits, he worked with my next door neighbor (who was a nightmare throughout this process) and her rental company (she rents her home) to ensure the block wall was bulid to code, legal, and had everyone’s buy in.
The team of three they used to build the wall were polite, neat, and easy to work with. They did GREAT work.
This wall was not the cheapest quote I received, but Élan earned his money with excellent customer service. Many thanks to Élan for his hard work, dedication and time.
I sit here in Hawaii on vacation thinking of the beautiful wall I will go home to. Thanks Élan!

I went through remodeling hell a few years ago and vowed to myself that I would never let it happen again… thankfully it didn’t! I wanted to have an outdoor patio built so that my family and I would be able to relax and enjoy the summer there. My main concern was that it wouldn’t be ready in time for summer, but Ilan (from Build for You) was so great to work with, had everything ready in time, and it looks so great! We now have a gorgeous seating area, built-​in outdoor BBQ and fridge!

For a long time I have been wanting to open up my kitchen space. The whole design looked outdated for our contemporary home and I really hated the wall the separated the kitchen from the family room. My husband put his trust in me to take on this project and we are extremely happy with the results. I took my sister-in-law’s recommendation and called Build For You.
Ilan did a fantastic job and was so accommodating given our busy schedules. He was very professional and fair price-​wise (I checked around and he was by far the best). I love my new Danish kitchen and am so happy that darn wall no longer separates me from my family while I cook dinner. (I also gained some credibility points with my husband.) The entire experience was so enjoyable and I look forward to taking on another project with Build For You when the timing’s right. Thanks again, Ilan. You are great!
