Loved Shai and everyone at Butel!
I have used several contractors for different renovations and I have never been as happy from start to finish on a project as I was with Butel. Shai helped me with ideas, was honest about what was needed and what was not. Miguel and Angel , who work for Butel, gave me new ideas on how to place the bathroom tile as well as the cabinet for the island both of which came out better than anything I was imagining. Shai always answered my text and emails right away. At the end anything I did not like they were willing to change because they only wanted me to be happy

We LOVED working with Butel Construction! It's rare you hear someone say they loved working with their contractor but it's true - we genuinely had a great experience with them throughout the whole process. We remodeled and added onto our kitchen, converted our garage to an ADU and designed front/backyard landscaping. Shai and his crew were always on top of it and very organized. For instance - he sent me a weekly schedule every Sunday and if new or unexpected work popped up - he would send a docusign same day so everything was always agreed upon in a formal way. They showed

My home looks gorgeous. I interviewed three other contractors and am so glad that I decided to work with Butel Construction. Shai had many ideas and suggestions for ways to remodel my townhouse, to make the best use of a small space, and to create a kitchen that looks contemporary and airy. Shai listened to my ideas and incorporated my sense of design with the result being the perfect space for me, in terms of both my lifestyle and taste (the other contractors seemed to have one look that was used for everyone). The workers were professional and highly experienced. One of the cabinets was scratched

I finished my whole house remodel and 5 months later am beyond thankful that I chose Shai and Butel Construction for the project. Seriously, I have no negative comments. On time, on budget, great input, always professional, calm in the storm that was sometimes me! And all this during The Covid. You know when someone says, "Don't worry, we got it" and you always worry more? NOT the case with Shai and the team. When they say it they mean it. I cannot recommend them more.

This was my second time working with Shai Butel, and it was as much of a pleasure as the first. This time we were remodeling an entire 2900sqft 1960's house. Shai took it down to the studs and built it back. The finish is so perfect everyone who visits thinks it's a brand new home. Shai sticks to his budget, has a fantastic, happy team, and they were working on site every single day. I highly highly recommend Shai, and look forward to working with him again in the future.

We are so happy to have found Butel Construction. We are first time homeowners and knew we wanted a wall in our house taken down to make the space more open. It was the first time we ever attempted any construction to this price and degree and we were quite nervous (even though their company has done projects ten times bigger than this). Shai answered all my questions, was very forthcoming, spent a lot of time explaining everything to me - and this was before I every signed a single thing. The price was also the most reasonable I found and the end result did not disappoint. The project went smoothly

We recently bought a new home in Manhattan Beach and were looking to remodel our kitchen, bathroom, add A/C, add a new electrical panel and install new floors. We had experience working with Shai and Butel construction before on a bathroom remodel for us in another house which turned out amazing. Shai provides weekly updates, online documentation and accounting and always checks on anything that needs approval. The value his team provides is exceptional and even though he is little more expensive than other bids, his team's work speaks for itself. His service team and the peace of mind they

Had Butel totally redo one bathroom, floors, ceilings, paint, sidewalk and install pocket doors in my place. Everything went off without a hitch. Support has been great.
I can see why everyone recommended Butel. They probably won't be your cheapest bid, but most likely nothing will go wrong. (Though like any contractor, keep an eye on to make sure anyway!
Thanks, Shai!

We were very fortunate to find Butel Construction to handle our remodel project. Shai and Miguel were a pleasure to work with, always responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. The project took longer than we would've liked it to due to the fact that we engaged our own electrician to handle the electrical work, and he caused significant delays, so if we had to do it again we would probably let Butel handle all subcontracting. (We are happy with how the lighting came out in the end, but had we done our own research we probably could've gotten a similar result from Butel

Shai Butel and Butel Construction were absolutely fantastic partners during my remodel work. It all began with a prompt and professional estimate experience.
Shai came prepared with our construction documents and a list of questions. He provided a detailed proposal outlining all costs by project stage & room along with a fair price and a prompt start date.
The permit and construction work all proceeded smoothly: Shai's crew were all very prompt, professional, and take great care in their attention to detail. All work was done to our specifications and any required rework was promptly

Echoing my wife here. Butel is never going to be the lowest bidder for anything, but the value is unquestionable. Once the contracts are signed, the work goes along as planned and on budget.
Every one of Shai's team are professional and experts in their area. The final results are stunning.
So...on time, on budget, to code and beautiful work. Can't ask for anything more.

Five stars! Easily! Could be even more (if yelp would let me). Two bathrooms done, new tiles, new fixtures; in the master bathroom that meant going down to the studs and rebuilding the whole shower... Every single person from Butel Constr. was a delight to work with the whole time. The finished renovation is so beautiful and striking that everybody says "I want that!" Do I need to say that they kept to the time frame and the budget? Yes, because that's so important too! All in all, I can't praise Shai and his team high enough and would recommend them to anybody who is looking

So… these guys are the absolute best. I have had such disappointing experiences with contractors in the past. One just wouldn’t finish the job, another did really sloppy work, others started and then turned part time, etc etc. So I put off completing the final parts of the remodel on our 1920’s bungalow. In the end we couldn’t live with the horrendous mess that was the bathroom any longer, so called 5 contractors to bid on the work. A guy called Tom came out from Butel and put together a bid that was in the middle of the pack in terms of price, and absolutely at the top in terms of thoroughness

Butel was wonderful to work with; they were very helpful and patient with us, since we were first-time homeowners and wanted to restore our 1920s Spanish style home that was not in great condition. They were responsive and provided us with resources like subcontractors and places to source material, but were also flexible and worked with whatever we wanted to use, regardless of whether or not we sourced from them. Whenever there were unexpected challenges they worked with us to make sure we were satisfied. A few additional costs and delays came up during the job, but they were all 100% justified

We had a very positive experience with Butel Construction. They demolished an old, poorly built addition, and replaced it with a beautiful two-story addition that includes 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, family room, a laundry room, and a study hall. They were a pleasure to work with, and they finished on time and in budget. They kept the site very clean while they were working (we continued to live in the home during construction), and I was very happy with all sub-contractors. As we have moved in and settled in, we continue to appreciate the high quality, solid construction.

Shai and his team were a pleasure to work with and I recommend them highly. I have a small 1Bdr, 1Ba + Loft Condo. I stayed in my condo during the renovation which I wouldn't recommend for the weak of heart!
Butel Construction lessened my living impact by accommodating me with a temporary utility sink and they were very quick to complete critical phases in the bathroom. Shai and his team kept me updated on everything they were doing and also on what I needed to provide or decide. They were always available to contact with any questions or issues that came up and responded quickly, plus they resolved

I worked with Butel Construction on building our 2 story 3bed 3bath house in 2015.
We were originally planning to add-on 2nd floor on our small 2bed 2bath house, with very little extension to the existing floor plans as that was what our budget allowed. However, we had set the plan in motion only to find out we couldn't work with the original contractor as they didn't satisfy the bank requirements for the loan. We were left with now a city-approved building plan (having cost us $15k+) and bank-approved budget, but none of the 4~6 contractors were willing to honor the specified budget. Everyone

We'd originally called Butel Construction in late summer / early fall as part of a series of quotes that I was getting for the bonus room / bathroom expansion project. I didn't end up pursuing the project then, but with multiple sets of inlaws heading our way for the holidays, we decided that we needed the extra space / shower in a hurry. Butel's quote came in a little lower than the other one that I'd received and both had good reviews, so we went with Butel. Despite the several-month's hiatus on our end, Butel said they would honor the original quote and that they

Shai did a fine kitchen remodel @ my Redondo Beach townhouse a bit less than 10 years ago. But that's not what I'm writing about.
