**★★★★★ — Lucy Suros, Oct. 2023**

> Pobal is exceptional. They redid my kitchen, built an office for me, transformed a glass wine closet into a storage closet for workout and house stuff, and completely built out my pantry. They were on time and on budget with excellent communication throughout the project. And I couldn’t believe how clean they were. Every subcontractor and vendor they use is top notch. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat — and in fact I have. When my AC leaked and damaged my bathroom, Neil was my first call. I didn’t think contractors this good even existed!

**★★★★★ — annah\_feinberg, Feb. 2023**

> Not only did Neil and his team complete impeccable work, but Neil's communication made us confident about the project at every stage. Would work with him again in a heartbeat!

**★★★★★ — Debra Kriz, Feb. 2022**

> Neil and Pobal Construction rate A++++ in my book.
>
> Neil came as a referral from a friend whose home I've always loved and Neil had done all of her remodeling. My job was small- just a kitchen remodel but Neil approached my project as though it was worth a million dollars.
>
> His attention to detail was unbelievable - he measured and re-measured every step of the way. He consulted me on every decision to make certain it was what I had in mind. He was attentive to my every want and desire, no matter how simple it might have been to someone else.
>
> Neil's subcontractors were clean, efficient, and pleasant to have around. He somehow managed to keep the rest of my house clean and dust free for the entirety of the demolition and remodel.
>
> When we started the project in late January Neil estimated they'd be done by March 17th and, sure enough, they were done on March 17th by 4 PM!!
>
> After the past almost 2 years Neil has followed up promptly with the few questions I've had and my husband and I are looking forward to hiring him for our next project.

**Comment from Pobal Construction Inc:**

> Thank you Debra for the kind words for our team.

**★★★★★ — Sarah, Feb. 2022**

> Pobal did an excellent job repairing tree damage to my house.
> Neil and his team are professional, skilled, and responsive.
> I would definitely recommend!

**Comment from Pobal Construction Inc:**

> Thank you Sarah & Andrew. It was a pleasure to work on your beautiful property!

**★★★★★ — maryannela, July 2016**

> Pobal rebuilt a large, termite-damaged back porch and replaced and installed the upstairs windows in my Santa Monica house, including a number of custom designed ones.  Neil is a professional and a perfectionist, and as such got the best from his workers, subs and suppliers.  I would use him again any time and recommend him highly.  He understood what I wanted, explained every phase of the work undertaken, and simply was a delight to have on the job.

**Comment from Pobal Construction Inc:**

> Maryanne, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working on your beautiful home. You where one of our first clients in Los Angele's and we will always do what ever we can for you!

> Thank you!

**★★★★★ — Katie Dunne, July 2016**

> Neil and Pobal Construction did an amazing job with our property. Our now family home is situated in Venice, Ca and the project was a very tough one using a lot of advanced engineering principals all with a very modern design feel.  They did exactly what was asked. Very rigid planning and stuck to a tight schedule. The communication from their team, is second to none. Selecting a builder can be difficult, but we felt so at ease with Neil after a few initial meeting's, we knew and trusted this was our guy.  We absolutely will be using them again.

**★★★★★ — Andrea Michaelson Design, Nov. 2014**

> I was very pleased with Pobal Construction. All the workers were competent, clean and respectful. They were on time and worked hard to get the job finished in a timely manner while still providing excellent service. We would gladly recommend them to others and will hopefully be using them again for future projects.
