**★★★★★ — Kirsten Special, May 2025**

> True Building did a major year + remodel on my 1910 craftsman.   Matt Allen and his team made sure everything was finished to perfection.  Last week, six months after the project was finished I had a small problem and they were there the next day to fix it.  They stand behind their work and the attention to detail is excellent.  Sourcing period appropriate locks or using new different electrical plugs no problem.  Roberto is a wood craftsman star.  Big thanks to Iskander and Eric too.

**★★★★★ — Laurence Abrams, June 2023**

> True Building, Inc., and Matt's team did a fantastic job on our whole-house remodel.  New kitchen, bathroom, hardwood floors, doors switches and can lights throughout, windows, front door, painting… all really nice quality and looks great.  Iskandar, our project manager, and his teams of craftsmen were top-notch and always did things "the right way."  Superb communication all around with excellent collaboration, problem solving and attention to detail.  I would trust them with any project I have.

**★★★★★ — foret, Jan. 2021**

> True Building's Matt Allen did the renovation of our kitchen and the addition of a family room next to it in 2020. From beginning to end, Matt exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Whatever needed to be done, Matt saw it to its completion, always checking and double checking things were done right.
> True Building has an exceptional team of workers, from plumbers to carpenters, who care about and love their work. Every single request for changes was always graciously accepted and executed. Here again no effort was ever spared to do things perfectly, from cabinets painting to hardwood floors finishes.
> We highly recommend True Building to anyone who plans to remodel his/her house.
> Sylviane and Roger Towne

**★★★★★ — E Empting, May 2020**

> True Building is the best. Matt Allen has a great vision and communicates every step of the way. He is truly professional and his team is meticulous, efficient and clean. Hands down one of the best contractors in Los Angeles. He just completed a marble kitchen for us and it's perfect.

**★★★★★ — Chris Alexander, Dec. 2019**

> I worked with Matt and his team on a bathroom/closet remodel as well as the addition of a new powder room, hardwood floors and assorted home maintenance issues and was extremely satisfied. The most impressive element was the quality of the work and the timeliness of the service- rarely in the nine weeks the project took to complete was there a day when no one came or no progress was made. Having done a few other remodels over the years with different builders, I know how unusual that is. He was very accommodating, gave good advice, and delivered great work. As with any project, there were a few hiccups, so it’s important to always ask questions and stay vigilant- but everything that came up was addressed to my satisfaction. Really pleased overall and will definitely use him again.

**★★★★★ — robbeditorial, March 2013**

> True Building provided us with a new hardwood floor for our living room, bedroom and office, painted all those spaces as well as the bathroom and installed a central heat and air system which encompassed the basement, main floor and upstairs. When they began the work, they realized that the house was very out of plumb so spent extra days jacking up the house on one side, replacing rotten wood and other extras not part of the original scope for no extra charge. They then took an old creaky, badly damaged floor that tilted heavily in several directions and left us with a beautiful new floor that looks gorgeous, doesn't creak. Painting work was very good too. And the HVAC system works like a dream. The great thing about the work is that they work intensively. They come in, bring lots of people with them and get the job done fast. We are talking a little more than a week to get all the above done.

**★★★★★ — Precision Air Duct Cleaning, Feb. 2013**

> I worked with True Building Inc on a project in Los Angeles a few years ago. I was very amazed with how friendly and knowledgeable they were.
> They did very nice work and i was even able to learn a few things from them.
> I would highly recommend then to anyone whether it be a remodel or a ground up project.

**★★★★★ — Local Timber, Feb. 2013**

> I have worked with True Building on numerous projects and they have serious integrity. Their wood working craftsmanship is stellar. I have only seen them produce high quality products. I recommend them constantly to people looking for new decks, fences, remodels, etc.

**★★★★★ — Landmark Building Inc, Feb. 2013**

> True Building Is a very professional and knowledgeable company
> that I have worked with on multiple occasions. They have always remained professional and helpful throughout the projects. In addition to that I hold a very high standard to the jobs that I take on and I can say first hand that they do also and this is a rare quality to find.
>
>                         Hope this is helpful, Jason Houck

**★★★★★ — tsupplee, Feb. 2013**

> Raeigh and team renovated my kitchen and took over a 2 bedroom/2 bath addition from a terminated builder. Both projects were complex and included structural changes to the existing house. Raleigh's professionalism and desire to get it right at any cost, exceeded my expectations. All change orders were minimal and agreed up front so there were no surprises to the overall cost and the project was done on time and on budget. Building is an invasive sport when you are living through it with a family (which we were). Raleigh and team were respectful of our privacy and understood the urgency to get us completed. I really enjoyed working with them and are now looking for the next project.

**★★★★★ — brukifchinabean, Feb. 2013**

> Had to get reconstruction after water damage at my house. I heard of True Building from a friend who had used them for a full remodel of her house. I called them in for a quote. Very down to earth guys with straight facts and figures.
>
> They fully restored my kitchen, water heater closet and guest bathroom better than I imagined.
>
> They were very communicative and I could always get ahold of them before, during and after the project.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Vanity** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where is the vanity from?

A: It was custom built for this clients project

**Q: Shade and canopy?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi,
How much shade does this system provide?  Or how can a canopy be attached underneath for shade?  And what about hail?

A: It provides quite a bit of shade, but the warmth from the sun still comes through a little. As for the solar panels SolarWorld Sunmodule are really good for this, I installed them in a hail prone area in Colorado years ago and they are still standing. https://youtu.be/M6v2lDa8Hos

**Q: Hi! Can you please explain in detail how the mirror was mounted? TY :)** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Glue one side of the cleat to the mirror and secure the other side of the cleat with screws to the wall  (into studs or use 100lb anchor into drywall) 
What I did was install a cleat at the top of the mirror and one at the bottom to distribute the weight, the one at the bottom should be quite a bit larger to ensure you are supporting it properly, glue the cleats on to the mirror, make sure its square with the mirror, install the other cleats to the wall with screws and once the glue is dry on the mirror install.
I hope this helps and clarify's it for you.

**Q: LED Light Spec** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you please let me know what the spec is for the LED light behind the mirror.

A: You can get it from readywholesaleelectric.com

The product description is 12V DC LEDTask Standard Output Flexible LED Linear Ribbon.

You will have to get the appropriate power supply for the length of LED strip you will be using. You can call ready electric and they can answer any questions you may have. I hope this answers your question.

Best, 

Matt

**Q: Mirror** *(in Photo Questions)*

Mirror looks great.  Want to do the same.  My local glass co says since the mirror is suspended  and not supported by the vanity top, It must have an "L" bar along the bottom of the mirror to support it's weight.  Because the glue won't hold for shearing force.  I 'd like to know if and how you might have done that?  Thx from San Fran burbs..

A: While the safest way to install the mirror is with a ledge (l metal or bar) my client wanted a clean look so we went with the below solution. 

I glued two large French cleats  (plywood with a 45 degree angle) on the back of the mirror so it acted like you were gluing it to the wall, sheer wise. 

Have your contractor make the cleats and install it. The only thing you really have to worry about is making the cleats too big on the sides where you will be able to see the wood, I held it back 3" from the edges and it turned out great. I hope this answered your question, let me know if you have any others.

Best,
 
Matt

**Q: What is the exterior paint color?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It is a stucco color that gets mixed in with the mortar, it is a slate grey powder mix.
