They can be trusted to follow through on all agreed upon objectives for your remodel! ### All 103 reviews **★★★★★ — RLM Decor, Sept. 2026** > As an interior designer, I have worked with a variety of builders over the years. I am always impressed with the speed at which they take the client’s dreams and turn it into a Home. I am currently working on a project with them in the Pacific Palisades. The clients will be one of the first homeowners returning to the neighborhood with a completed home. They are also one of the few builders that offers an interior designer to help homeowners make selections and move the project along at a faster pace. **★★★★★ — HU-791875561, Aug. 2026** > Mike's team made a full kitchen remodel—including a reconfiguration —feel effortless from start to finish. The bid came in right on budget, and there were no surprise costs or delays along the way. Communication was excellent throughout, and the crew was organized, professional, and easy to work with at every step. The design, material choices and workmanship was outstanding. > > Beyond the kitchen, they built a showstopper outdoor living space that's become our favorite part of the house, and added an interior elevator that was handled with the same level of care and precision as everything else. > > The end result exceeded expectations—beautiful, exactly as planned, and executed by a team that clearly takes pride in their work. Highly recommend Mike and his crew for any renovation, big or small. **★★★★★ — NEO & Associates Inc., July 2026** > ABD provides my clients with a fantastic professional contracting experience. Their familiarity with the permitting process and the role a contractor has with the building department is truly invaluable. The quality, craftsmanship and especially communication is top notch. I have several projects in construction with ABD and I am referring them to several more. Mike is so responsive and straight forward about how the process will work. Christine is excellent at the vision for the overall project and matching the clients dreams with their budgets. There internal team of project managers keep the projects moving in a clear and concise manner. If you want a pleasant experience for your project?

Albert is very professional and I look forward to working with them in the future. **★★★★★ — HU-428596585, June 2026** > 14 years working on new builds and remodels, I can say with certainty that Mike Ross’s team are among the best in the industry.

You will have an excellent experience with Mike and his team. Professional, reliable, and skilled. They complete every project efficiently and with high quality. A+ communication- 5 stars **★★★★★ — smar zllak, June 2024** > We absolutely love the work Mike did with our bathroom. They laid our new shower floor and put in the shower wall tile in a professional and quick manner. It looks even better than we'd hoped. We would definitely hire this team again. **★★★★★ — HU-16542899, June 2024** > Once again we called Mike to help us out with our new project. We have been in our house for twenty years and starting from the initial renovations he was and still is the most reliable, hardworking, and trustworthy person we know. His quotes are always fair. He works with an excellent team if needed. He shares excellent ideas and advises on different options. He always picks up the phone and responds promptly as promised. He did multiple projects in our house over the years including bathrooms, and now he is finishing our basement. I highly recommend Mike for the house projects. **★★★★★ — Rosa Long, June 2024** > Mike does excellent work! He has done several kitchen and bathroom projects, as well as home remodeling projects for me over the years. He has great ideas and is very helpful in planning and executing the projects. I trust his advice and appreciate his attention to detail and his quick and timely follow-up. He has a great network of subcontractors who work with him as well. He is a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him for your next project. **★★★★★ — Kristen Huffman, June 2024** > I have had a wonderful experience with this company. They have gone above and beyond to renovate my multi-family home. They’ve completed a new bathroom and kitchen on my property.

Highly recommend **★★★★★ — HU-485436251, June 2024** > I had a fantastic experience with this company. They went above and beyond to renovate my multi-family home. They completed a new bathroom and kitchen on my property. The workers were very professional, and the work was completed without any delays. I am so happy with the results that I have already started a new project with them at another location. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — gonzalez juanpablo, June 2024** > Mike and his team did an excellent job remodeling my kitchen! Their professional demeanor and warm customer service set the tone for an incredible transformation journey. I appreciated how Mike and his team were very creative and paid attention to every detail to ensure everything was installed perfectly. Mike was always willing to listen to my ideas and was available to answer my questions, provide updates, and make adjustments as needed. The result is a kitchen, a customized dining table, a fireplace area, and some decor that are not only beautiful but also feel uniquely mine. Thank you! I'm extremely satisfied with the results! **★★★★★ — Petra Sargent, June 2024** > Mike is great! They are kind and efficient and have good contractors. We liked that they had a planned work and payment schedule. Great teamwork on their part Mike and crew were very helpful in renovating my home. Mike helped me with a 3D design for my kitchen and bathroom, and helped me remodel with materials. Will definitely be working with Mike more in the future. **★★★★★ — Christopher Intagliata, Dec. 2022** > We did a complete gut remodel on a 1928 house, and trusted Mike & Addition Building and Design with the project. They knocked it out of the park. Mike is a no-nonsense contractor - he was quick to come by for an estimate, and gave us very competitive pricing. We appreciated Mike's transparency as well. Unlike a lot of companies that ask you to pay $2-3k for them to draw up some plans before even giving you quotes for a scope of work, Mike had a detailed breakdown of costs in our hands for every element of the project, within a week of his visit to the property. > > About the job itself - Mike's core crew of builders are incredibly professional and do great work. And all the subs he uses for tile, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, plumbing and electric are top of class. We had lots of people from different trades coming and going from the property during renovations, and people from other trades would comment on the quality of the drywall work, the plaster, the tile, etc. I can't stress enough the craftsmanship these people brought to the job, and they did a gorgeous job incorporating the historical details and architecture of our house with the new modern elements. Finally, every time we had questions about any part of the process, Mike was available by phone or text to guide us through any concerns, from design to construction to permitting, and he stopped by the property at least once a week to check on the work and review progress with us. His years of experience are evident. > > Finally: Mike's team got this job done in record time, and when he promised us three months to completion, he came through. The project did go a little longer than initially quoted, but that's because we added a few extras onto the project after seeing what a nice job his team was doing. > > We wouldn't hesitate to use Addition Building & Design again - and would wholeheartedly recommend hiring them for your job. You'll be in good hands. **★★★★★ — Yalda Jamal, Nov. 2022** > We hired Addition Building & Design to renovate our kitchen. We're delighted and excited at the finish product. Mike, the owner of Addition Building & Design went above and beyond to surpass our expectations. His team which included a fantastic designer, experienced cabinet makers, tile setters, diligent electricians, and plumber worked collaboratively to build our family a custom kitchen. The craftsmanship is evident in the final product. Cost was reasonable and competitive. Time frame was reasonable and consistent with building a large custom kitchen. We are incredibly happy with our elegant & custom kitchen. > Thank you Mike for building us our dream kitchen. > Our family will enjoy this incredible kitchen for many years. > Highly recommend Addition Building & Design. **★★★★★ — Marianne Guadiana, Nov. 2022** > I first discovered Mike when my daughter hired him to completely remodel her newly purchased Bel Air home. It was perfection and could have been in architecture digest. Then her in-laws used him to completely makeover their new Beverly Hills condo. Another triumph! Around that time I wanted to change my kitchen in my main house and Mike accomplished that perfectly with reconfiguring and adding cabinets and a much needed Miele refrigerator to help with the pandemic hoarding. I was beyond happy with my kitchen and still am. So it was a no brainer when I decided to make my Guest house a legal ADU. Mike attained all the necessary permits and now we are in the process of the renovation. It is all going ahead of schedule and after a few short weeks I am already picking out paint colors!!Addition Building and Design is a family business with Mike at its helm steering beautifully! I would heartily recommend Mike for any renovation from one or two rooms to an entire estate. No matter how large or small your project is, he’s your guy. I am so happy with his entire staff, from his office to his workers and Mike oversees all. He will make your dreams happen. Run don’t walk and hire Mike for your next renovations. I know you will be as happily satisfied as I am! **★★★★★ — Scott Nell, Jan. 2022** > Five stars is simply not enough stars to convey how much I like Mike Ross and Addition Building & Design! Mike and his company are smart, hardworking, honest and the list goes on. They are the best of the best! **★★★★★ — Kimberly Moss, Jan. 2022** > Mike, Christine and the team were the most professional people we have worked with. Our window replacement project went smoothly and everyone communicated well. We are very pleased with the quality of work and how efficiently they performed. The job was completed on time and we will definitely hire them for our next home improvement project. **★★★★★ — Hollywood, Jan. 2022** > Professional, honest, and excellent workmanship. I keep going back to Mike for large and small jobs, that says it all! **★★★★★ — Carol Smith, Jan. 2022** > I've had the pleasure of working with Mike on many projects over many years. Addition Building & Dessign, Inc built my big house with over 6000 square feet, four garage bays, and the biggest party room you'd ever seen. I was sad when the property sold in record time thanks in part to Mike's wonderful designs in the kitchen and accessory rooms. **★★★★★ — jennifer91x, Aug. 2021** > With all my heart I recommend Addition Building & Design. I had made the mistake of hiring a handyman to build a fireplace who didnt know what he was doing. I called every contractor and fireplace repair company I could to see about fixing the defective chimney. Everyone said that it needed to be demo'd, but not Mike Ross. Mike is a creative person who is also extremely capable. He had his crew over and they fixed the chimney with no problem at all and the fireplace worked great. Not only was the result excellent, but Mike and his team did what they said they would and showed up on time and were very pleasant. **★★★★★ — nancieclare, Oct. 2020** > Mike Ross of Addition Building & Design is my go-to for everything regarding my house. He is meticulous, detail oriented, and very solution driven. I live in a small, older house that isn't easy to work on (not a plumb line in the place!). Mike understands my often incoherent descriptions and makes sense of my indecipherable sketches. He asks questions, he makes sound suggestions and makes it all happen. And he's incredibly nice. I had to call him the other week for something so, so minor. He got back to me right away with the info I needed. Amazing. **★★★★★ — Jonathan Seber, Sept. 2019** > My wife and I recently purchased a home and hired Addition Building and Design to completely renovate three bathrooms and a kitchen in the home. The renovation turned out amazing and far exceeded our expectations. Mike and his team were incredibly responsive and professional. My wife and I lived in the house during renovations and found the crew to be courteous hardworking and maintained a clean worksite, which we appreciated. We would definitely use Addition Building and Design again and would recommend them without reservation. **★★★★★ — Lauren Hill, Jan. 2019** > Mike and his team of amazing professionals recently completed an addition on our home. Not only is the work exemplary and of a the highest quality, but the courteousness and consideration shown to our family during construction was unmatched. > With a new baby on the way, we had a limited time frame to get the second story addition done, and Mike met our (very challenging) timeline and had the work done on time despite the extra cost and difficulty it presented to him. Every person who came through our house was extremely considerate of my pregnancy and our three year old son. They were neat and unobtrusive and kind. > In terms of the work itself, Mike worked hard to realize our vision and address all of our concerns. The space we had to work within to fit the new rooms was not an easy configuration and Mike made everything fit like a glove- and seamlessly! ...it fit in with our house so well that the flooring team who came in couldn’t even believe it was new construction. > I would highly recommend Mike and Addition Building Design for any construction needs and we are looking forward to using them for future projects. **★★★★★ — Design by Maureen, Oct. 2018** > I've worked with Mike Ross of Addition Building & Design, Inc. and would have no reservations in referring him! > Mike is an experienced professional in his field with a strong work ethic and strives for excellence on all his projects! **★★★★★ — Human Nature Design & Construction,Inc., Aug. 2018** > I met Mike about 8 or 9 years ago. We collaborate on few projects in the past and current years. If you are a home owner, a investor or service provider like us you want Mike and his Company on your side. They are very professional, hard working and proud of their work and services. They do get the job done on time and within your budget. **★★★★★ — Mark Aguas, March 2018** > We worked with Mike at Addition Building & Design to remodel our master suite which included moving some walls, relocating the laundry room and the master closet and a full master bath remodel. I can't say that everything went smoothly as things will inevitably come up with any major remodel on an old house but everything was definitely handled professionally with all the issues addressed in a timely manner and with full transparency on timing and costs. We're extremely happy with the final result... Mike was very accommodating, and the project manager Jose was professional and sympathetic to any concerns that came up. They were able to accomplish all our design goals and keep the integrity of our historic spanish style house intact matching the rest of the house. I would definitely consider using Mike again on the next big project and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to do any sort of remodel on their home. **★★★★★ — Jeremy Sagi, March 2018** > We hired Addition Building & Design , Inc to completely remodel our house in the Palisades and build a new addition to convert our house to a more open flow design. This addition was complex and Mike, the owner, and his team 'nailed' it. Never any issues with any of the inspectors due to Mike's attention to detail and ability to execute professionally. Mike was committed and present at the site all the time to ensure a timely completion and quality project. The new kitchen is beautiful and functional ---we love it!. > My wife and I would hire Mike again for our next project! **★★★★★ — labrahamian1, Feb. 2018** > A few years ago, I began to research contractors to do a major bathroom remodel. I contacted Addition Building & Design on Houzz given the quality of work and reviews. Mike Ross, the owner, completed the work on time and within the estimated budget. I could not be happier as it turned out beautifully. However, a years later some of the floor tiles had discolored. I contacted Mike who sent his crew back and took care of everything for no charge. I am now working with Mike on a complete kitchen remodel. I highly recommend Mike and his team!! **★★★★★ — Kenadee Watson, Feb. 2018** > If you are looking for someone to help when designing your new home, look no further.

I knew he was going to be great because he brought design boards. The biggest thing I loved was the 3 D renderings he brought for the Kitchen and Bedroom custom for my house. Once Ok'ed he got to work within a few days. The work is almost done and the whole process has been good. I am very anxious to see it completed. **★★★★★ — Willisland Design Works, Nov. 2017** > I met Mike Ross and his daughter Christine to work on Mike's Benedict Canyon project as the designer. I have worked with many, many contractors over the years and Mike is one of the most responsive, professional and fastest contractors around, Mike and his team are not messing around. There are a lot of contractors in Los Angeles, but few can work up to the standards that multi-million dollar projects in Beverly Hills demand. The project is going well, on schedule and under budget. Mike is exceeding the owner's expectations, as usual. **★★★★★ — Allana Johnson, Nov. 2017** > bathroom.

I wanted a modern farmhouse feel. I saw he had done a farmhouse in Santa Monica. He added on an in-law suite, remodeled my kitchen, and expanded my family room. I love the quality of work he did on my home. The best part was he had an app I could watch my entire project on during the whole process. I am really into technology so I was thrilled with that feature. My home is everything I ever wanted. > > Thanks Mike for doing an amazing job! **★★★★★ — Von Fitz Design, Oct. 2017** > We really enjoyed working with Mike - he is a "can do" contractor who is a great problem solver.

The craftsmen that worked on our project were not only professional but their workmanship was meticulous. They thought through measurements and complex designs to deliver a quality product. > > Jose, the foreman kept me informed throughout the process of what was completed and what needed to be done.

The work included updating the kitchen and one of the bathrooms as well as insulation and weather proofing, paint and many other little things. We also needed to update the yard and the area around the pool that was cracking. We have lots of room in the back and on a hill that is unused mostly and also wanted to see if we can add some storage place outside. > our work required many different trades and expertise. Mike was very thorough in making sure that all the details were taken into account and I was very impressed with the coordination and the people he has at his disposal to be able to do different aspects of the work. During the project, I received on going updates from the office about scheduling and what will happen and I could always call and get answers to my questions. The work was great! high quality and clean and I love my updated kitchen! It is still the same size (small) but so much more comfortable to work in. The materials Mike used are great and live up to his promise of easy cleaning and durability. With the new insulation, the AC is effective! > I would recommend Mike Ross to any of my friends who are looking to do a remodel in the Los Angeles area. **★ — ryan park, Aug. 2017** > Do not trust his words. He lied to me and I suffered financially. I hope others can learn from my mistake and go with someone else. **★★★★★ — andrew l, Aug. 2017** > We hired Mike on to do a major remodeling of a new house, and we are very happy with the results. The job included kitchen, bathroom, new floors throughout the house, converting a crawlspace into a storage area, and just about everything else you could think of from plumbing to electrical. > Mike cares about the results of his projects, and was at our house every day (we were not living there yet) to check on the progress and met with us weekly. He used the BuilderTrend app to post photos of the progress. If something wasn't to his standard, he would have the workers do it again. All of the workers and subcontractors I interacted with were very friendly and helpful. > I never felt nickel and dimed, and there were a number of issues that popped up during the remodel that Mike solved for us without extra charge. I never had a hard time reaching him or his office. Remodeling is stressful under any circumstances, but it helps a lot to have a contractor who you trust to listen to your needs and get everything done. **★★★★★ — Niki Foy, April 2017** > My salon is looking better than ever! My entire salon was flooding and had to be completely gutted and redone. Mike was very informative and very honest!

Do not hesitate for a minute to hire them for your project! Ive also used them several times since the initial incident and have continued to receive amazing customer support and have been very happy with the end results.

They were very professional and all of their work turned out well. I would especially like to thank Mike as he listened to my concerns and reassured me that many of them were nothing to be afraid of. I highly recommend this company for all of your remodeling needs! **★★★★★ — David Alexander, March 2016** > We contacted Addition Building & Design on the recommendation of a neighbor who has used their services. They were extremely professional, courteous and did an amazing work renovating two of our bathrooms. They did a wonderful job of cleaning up the area every day and tying to minimize disruptions to our day to day activities. The project was completed ahead of schedule in less than 4 weeks and we couldn't be happier with the final result! **★★★★★ — Brant Hamel, March 2016** > The entire construction process was an amazing experience, from the contract signing right through the build period. We have received such personal attention, both during and after the build! Their crew have been professional, patient and polite and we had no problems or workmanship issues during the project execution. Because this was our first house building we were very stressed but Addition Building & Design made everything a breeze. We are so happy with the quality of the house and would recommend this company to anyone! **★★★★★ — Jack Gulley, March 2016** > After my experience with Addition Building & Design, I decided to take time out of my busy schedule and give them a well deserved positive review. I hired this company to do a complete renovation of my daughter's house. There were special requirements, a tight budget and a deadline, and Mike and his team exceeded all of my expectations. After the cleaning crew finished their job, the house looked as good as new. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Daniel, March 2016** > I hired Addition Building Design for a complete master bathroom remodel and a kitchen renovation, in my weekend house. Mike, the owner, gave me a very reasonable estimate and answered all of my questions knowledgeably and without making me feel dumb for asking. The project itself was stress free, the quality of the workmanship was excellent and the job was completed within the schedule. It was truly a pleasure to work with Addition Building Design and I would highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — jackgoldin, Feb. 2016** > The project involves the addition of a master bedroom and bathroom, a sun room, covered patio and a swimming pool and spa. There is also some interior remodeling involved. The project entails approximately a 900 to 1,000 square foot addition to an existing home. The quality of the work thus far has been excellent and the end-result should be beautiful indeed. I am looking forward to the completion of the project and the ability to enjoy the new space and new outdoor amenities during the summer. Thank you. **★★★ — rmgoldin, Feb. 2016** > This company is doing a 925 square foot addition including a master bedroom and bathroom and covered porch. The results are lovely. **★★★★★ — Kristina Roach, Feb. 2016** > Mike's commitment to excellence is one of the strongest qualities that makes Addition Building & Design so wonderful to work with. Beautiful outcomes are even better when the process was easy and you can trust the work was done the right way. Customer satisfaction is his number one priority and his team makes sure everyone is happy within budget and according to schedule. Mike is highly recommended not just because of his tremendous service but also because he is a genuinely good person who cares about his clients, workers and everyone else concerned on the job. **★★★★★ — Matthew Lieberman, Sept. 2015** > When someone gets 5 star reviews from everyone, you know something is going right. And yet, 5 stars don't do justice to the tremendous work that Mike Ross and his team at Addition Building have done for us. Everyone at Addition repeatedly went beyond the call of duty on our project. Based on past experience, I was just hoping to find someone who would do what they said they would, but with Addition we got so much more. Everyone person was friendly, courteous, and skilled in their work. The quality of the work was tremendous and on the rare occasions where something wasn't done quite the way we wanted it, not only were they willing to redo the work - they were already planning to redo the work by the time they heard from us. These guys also taught us a ton about caring for our own home in the future (and not just how to care for the work they had done). Finally, on the financial side, Addition's bid was competitive with the other bids we got. What really surprised us is that the work promised did not cost a penny more than the bid. > > In terms of the people you'll be seeing with Addition - Mike runs the show and depending on the phase of the project he was at our house anywhere from everyday to a few times a week. But he also has a project manager who is onsite everyday and then a set of teams that come through (demolition, painting, floors, electrical) who are all outstanding. > > We've found the only contractor that we'll use in the future. **★★★★★ — elkeheitmeyer, Aug. 2015** > Their technician was very pleasant, knowledgeable and professional, detail oriented. The work was done very efficiently and accurately and thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. > I will use them again for future projects. **Comment from Addition Building & Design, Inc.:** > Elke, > > We are very please you were happy with our technician. We appreciate your loyalty for future projects as well. Have a great day! > > Sincerely, > > Mike Ross & Staff **★★★★★ — 5 Star Interior Design, May 2015** > If you're thinking of hiring Mike Ross and his crew, follow the Nike logo, "Just Do IT!" > In a town where reliable contractor is an oxymoron, Mike Ross is an anomaly.

As a designer of unconventional spaces, I need to work with builders that are willing to go that extra distance to make special, custom designs a reality. Addition Building + Design has a real "can do" attitude when it comes to solving the out-of-the-ordinary design projects. Combine that with Mike's extensive knowledge of building and construction, and the whole design/build process moves quickly and smoothly! **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2015** > Mike Ross really knows how to get a project done.

EuroKraft fits the bill---5 Star!! **★★★★★ — ls212, Oct. 2014** > We had two projects carried out by Addition Building Design. The first was a $100,000 remodel of a condo including a completely new bathroom. The second was a $220,000 remodel of our home. This included extensive rearrangement of rooms on the second floor, the addition of a bedroom, and a new bath. Everything and everybody was professional, efficient and interested in doing a high quality job. All of the ABD employees as well as the subcontractors were a pleasure to work with. The on site lead carpenter and the construction manager were particularly impressive regarding their sensitivity to our objectives and the efficiency with which tasks were scheduled and monitored. We couldn't be more pleased with the process and the final result was everything we had hoped for. We would highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Metropolitan Cleaning Pros, Oct. 2014** > Mike and his team do a great job evaluating his client's needs and creating home environments which address those needs.

I have my friend renovating her home now because of how amazing mine came out. **★★★★★ — dalekeis, March 2014** > Having purchased our first house in Valley Glen, North Hollywood, we were aware it was in need of serious remodeling. A 1950s Ranch-style home, it came complete with peeling wallpaper, musty carpeting, and even some dilapidated walls. As first-time homeowners we were prepared to spend more money to improve it, but weary when we began meeting contractors. Buyer’s remorse already set in when we interviewed several contractors who were either aloof or unscrupulous. > > Then we were fortunate enough to find Mike Ross. He immediately allayed our stress with his professional and forthright demeanor and his integrity was as rock solid from the day we met him through the several months it took to complete our large renovation. > > While we had some specific things we wanted in our house, Mike and his team took our wish list and far exceeded our expectations to help truly realize the vision of our dream. Originally a three-bedroom, fourteen-hundred square foot home, our remodel brought an addition of a thousand square feet as well as an overhaul of the landscape; this prospect was particularly daunting for uninitiated owners such as us, but Mike’s consummate professionalism shone through and made the task exponentially less stressful for us. > As well as a new 850 sq.ft Master Bedroom, including a fireplace, and a steam unit in the bath, we added a cozy home theater room, laundry room, and the once forgotten backyard brought a new deck and patio with a trellis. Furthermore, because we went green and made it a smart home, we’re already more energy efficient. In several rooms, as well as the main hallway, for example, Mike installed solar tubes and the amount of natural light that bathes the house is amazing. Even my mom, when she came to visit, was always looking for a light-switch. > As our contractor, Mike Ross took the reigns to steer the project and keep it on course and he did so exceptionally. Mike and his team were as attentive to the quality of every nook and corner and he always sought our approval and happiness. Consistently communicative, he always kept us in the loop about progress and was always there to answer any questions and concerns. When an unforeseen contingency did arise, Mike assuaged our concerns by taking action ASAP to rectify the problem. Mike’s team, too, all take pleasure in their efforts. An eclectic group of skilled artisans and craftsmen, they are all polite, punctual, and proud of their work. > > Thank you, Mike Ross, for your outstanding leadership, your impeccable standards, and your commitment to our happiness. **★★★★★ — Park Slope Design, Feb. 2014** > Mike Ross called me to meet with his clients to do the landscape design and installation of this Bel Air "Traditional" home. Addition Building & Design did the home remodel, pool, pool house and custom BBQ and did a beautiful job. As a professional I can say Mike Ross is an excellent contractor and you can expect top quality work. **Comment from Addition Building & Design, Inc.:** > Joan, > The design you put together for the plantings --- color and style was perfect ! > Thanks for making me look good :) > Mike Ross,CEO > Addition Building Design, Inc. **★★★★★ — Joani Stewart Interiors, Feb. 2014** > Mike Ross is fabulous. I love working with him. He is a real go getter and he can do anything. He is efficient, confident and knowledgable. He has wonderful subs who get the job done on time and within budget. He is very hands on and available whenever needed. I highly recommend him for any size project. **★★★★★ — eddyswife, Jan. 2014** > Having been home owners for more than 30 years, we've had our share of renovation and reconstruction. Wow, I wish we had known about Addition earlier. Mike Ross went over every detail, discussed options, gave recommendations and worked with us on our requirements. We live in an old house for the area and it has its issues. Mike had excellent solutions for some of our unique requirements. His team was on time, extraordinarily skilled and detail-oriented. They were fast, but not rushed, and incredibly polite. And they thought on their feet: when something that we thought would work turned out to not be feasible, they came up with an excellent alternative. > And once they were finished, except for the excellent work they left behind, the cleanup was so thorough, you would never know they were there. **★★★★★ — Maggie M., Oct. 2013** > We hired Mike Ross & Co. to completely overhaul 3 bathrooms and our family room in our 1920’s Hancock Park/Larchmont Spanish Revival. The previous owners had “updated” it into a 90’s mess. Bad wallpaper, failed walls, horrible home depot bathrooms… Mike was there at 8am with his crew the day after we closed escrow. All of his workers were polite, clean and very respectful. They got to work immediately and never skipped a beat. He was fair on every single aspect of the job. Of course change orders came up (lovely to tear down wallpaper and have a wall fall down!) that we did not anticipate or budget for but we were able to come up creative ways to stretch our funds. Anything that I wasn't happy with he immediately addressed and made right. I plan on using Mike for future work and can't wait to recommend him to all our friends. Honest, reliable and top notch on all levels. **★★★★★ — Anatomy Of Style, April 2013** > Mike and his team have been a pleasure to work with. I am a professional Interior Designer and was very impressed at the high level of expertise, professionalism, efficiency and flexibility Mike provides. He always answers his phone and nothing seems to surprise him or stress him out. I feel very confident in his abilities and he certainly makes my job a lot easier. **★★★★★ — dandanderson, March 2013** > We finally decided to renovate/upgrade our townhouse, and time was on our side, so we vetted no less than 12 contractors, comparing price vs. work to be done, and getting a good feel for how much these contractors really cared about us & our desires. AND, we needed to feel we could trust them not only to do the work as promised, but do it while we were out of town, leaving them our keys and free access to our unit and the entire building. > > Upon meeting him, Mike Ross impressed us right away - first off, he was the only guy who offered to take his shoes off upon entering our home, and, oddly enough, one of the few contractors who took notes. He listened, he made suggestions without telling us "what he would do", and came up with a quote within our budget. We handed him the keys the morning he and his crew arrived (two of whom came by prior to the job to understand ahead of time what was to be done) and two days later (other contractors quoted everywhere from 4 to 10 days!) we came home to our new beautifully transformed townhouse. Mike's team replaced the carpeting with hardwood floors, put recessed lighting in throughout the ground floor rooms, retiled the bathroom, replaced the lighting in the kitchen and repainted the whole downstairs! Two days, and apparently no one in the building even noticed they were there. > > I have recommended Mike to friends & colleagues, including those in real estate and those who live in our building. People have called me back thanking me for recommending him. A professional who knows his trade, does beautiful work, and is just a super guy. Don't vet 12 other contractors, call Mike and be done with it. **★★★★★ — brogersmarketing, March 2013** > I feel it is very important to place my review here and everywhere that reviews are placed so that it will be known how wonderful of an experience it was to work with Mike Ross. > > We had a 7600 sq ft custom home built from scratch by his company. Mike ran the project like a 100 seat symphony and orchestrated all the trades in perfect harmony. Of course, little things come up, the electrician installed an outlet where it shouldn't be, but Mike had it taken care of so fast you never even knew it happened. When my job was completed on time, on budget, and my family is completely in love with our new home. I would refer Mike Ross to anyone in the world for a large project like ours > > Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Taking a personal interest in each project and client, Mike is respectful of budget constraints and very creative. We are type “A”, extremely demanding, and impatient clients. Mike demonstrated the wherewithal to calmly handle every aspect of the project and respond to requests. Mike and the subs are on the job six days a week and met with us as early as 6:15 in the morning to accommodate our work schedules. Sometimes he was on site two or three times a day. > He came up with some very creative ideas to enlarge the space and bring a light airy feeling to the rooms. I casually mentioned the need for extra closet space. Through Mike's creativity and persistence, my closet has more than doubled in size and the bathroom and closet have both electric and solar light. From dawn to dusk, there is virtually no need for electricity, even for aging baby boomers with poor eyesight. > Mike's subs are outstanding, respectful of your home and belongings, and leave the workspace clean. While Mike has outstanding resources, weekly emails laid out the daily plan and were followed by daily confirmations. As a result, there was not one down day without a sub on the job. We felt so comfortable with Mike and his subs that we left them with a key for two long weekends. During one weekend, they completed hardwood floors, rewired telephones and televisions, painted three rooms, hallways and left the house spotless. His subs have tremendous respect for his work ethic and professionalism. Everything was completed in a timely manner with great attention to detail. We would use Mike again in a heartbeat. > We would like to recognize the outstanding, honest and meticulous work of the sub-contractors- Tom, Miguel, Roman, Uncle Steve, Gonzalo, Jose, Raff, Manny, Steve, and Plumber Mike.

I look forward to our next project together. > Susan Cohen, ASID **★★★★★ — Junk King, Aug. 2012** > Mike is very professional to work with and keeps the customers wishes at the center of his priorities. He makes sure the customer is involved through every step of the project and hits the timeline and budget without question. Call them first before trying to find a contractor in your area since there are so many that aren't as focused on customer service as Mike and team. **★★★★★ — Izumi Tanaka Photography, Aug. 2012** > I have had a pleasure of working with Mike Ross and Addition Building & Design, Inc. as a photographer to show his projects. > His workmanship is unparalleled and his passion for this his is palpable in what he does. What I'm most impressed about Mike is that he continues to educate and inform himself of the trend, new technologies and products so he could offer more and better options for his clients. **★★★★★ — Jenny Scahill, July 2012** > Mike is an awsome Guy! I needed an addition on my small guest house and when I found Mike I knew he was who I wanted. He gave me a clear proposal outlining what he would do each week, along with the payments that would be due. Mike always came to oversee the work and always kept me informed of what was going on with the work as well as with the city. His workers are very personable, professional, and clean. In all, my experience with Mike was great. We are very happy with our new addition and in the future will be coming back to Mike for any other work. I highly reccomend him to anyone looking for an honest contractor! **★★★★★ — cristpa1, July 2012** > It's impossible to say too many good things about Mike's work. First of all, I'm a single female looking for someone to do a room addition. I had interviewed about 8 other contractors before Mike, and they all gave me the same one page estimate with vague answers to my questions. I had no idea what they were agreeing to do or even what they really thought the final cost would be. Mike, on the other hand, gave me a detailed proposal which included: an estimated cost of the entire project; a projected weekly work schedule (ex: week 1 & 2 - foundation and framing; week 3 & 4 - rough in electrical, HVAC and roofing completed, etc.); he then itemized the payments he needed from me (ex: $8000 to start the work; $8000 when foundation and framing were completed, etc.). His workers were efficient, friendly and easy to talk to and they cleaned up the work site every day. Mike kept me informed about when the city inspector would be coming and the results of his inspection (it was always good). Mike is also polite and easy to work with. I never had the feeling he was trying to "pull a fast one" or to "squeeze" one more dollar out of me, and, in fact, he always just the opposite. I will definitely use Mike again, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. **★★★★★ — kellyjean342, June 2012** > Addition Building & Design remodeled my kitchen and bathrooms. The team was very professional and did great work. I will hire them again in the future. **★★★★★ — Olivieri Painting, June 2012** > Mike is a fantastic guy and is very easy to work with. > He is prompt, professional and completes his jobs on time. > I would recommend him to anyone! > > Steve O. **★★★★★ — Claudette Chartrand Interior Design, May 2012** > Addition Building Design was the General Contractor on a remodel of a Master Bath and two adjacent bathrooms in this > lovely hilltop home in Malibu, California. > President Mike Ross oversaw all the details of this project and followed the drawings provided by my designs to the letter.. His subcontractors werre courteous and professional. HIs team did a superb job and the clients were very happy with the finished project. > I look forward to working with Addition Building Design on future > project and will recommend them to clients. > > Claudette Chartrand Interior Design **★★★★★ — dudeman13141516, May 2012** > Addition Building Design is a top notch company. > > The company gets the job done and within budget.

Mike (the boss) is on the job sight daily making sure that everything is taken care of to his, extremely high, standards. > > Using Addidtion Building Design was the best choice I could have made! > > Thank you Mike and Crew! **★★★★★ — Amuse Media, May 2012** > Mike Ross of Addition Building and Design Inc is dependable, highly organized and works within budget. > > Everyone I know says the same thing about him ... "He's the best! A true professional who provides impeccable customer service." > > Having people in your home to do improvements can be stressful, so if you want someone who is experienced, efficient and available to his clients 24/7, the call Mike Ross and his team at Addition Building and Design! ## Selected projects - [Pacific Palisades Custom Home - Hillside Ocean View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pacific-palisades-custom-home-hillside-ocean-view-pj-vj~7526782) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 20 - Description: This custom home build in Pacific Palisades required navigating the engineering, grading, and permitting demands of a steep hillside lot.

I asked y’all for help in another couple threads too, lol. I was going for a really modern, warm, spa-like feel that would be easy to clean, and with some unexpected visual interest. After: We're aaaaalmost done! We are just waiting on the shower glass, which will likely be a single fixed panel, and then we'll need to style the room! Some people on here cautioned me against using the 12 x 24 for the shower floor but it works just fine if you get the cuts right! Key materials: • Bedrosians Sahara 12 x 24 in Ecru • Bedrosians Cloe 2 x 6 in Creme • Delta Trinsic series shower trim system • Roswell Alistair 48” Vanity A: I love the transformation in this modern spa bathroom before and after! **Q: Beautiful! Do you use custom lighting?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the layout! Was wondering if you do custom lighting? My boss and I looked through your work and are interested in possibly working with you for future projects. Feel free to contact us at (818) 597-9494. Thanks so much! A: It was a pleasure speaking with you. We look forward to working with you on our upcoming projects! **Q: Your Work Is Beautiful!** *(in Photo Questions)* Just wanted to tell you :) A: Thank you so much! **Q: Dining room table** *(in Photo Questions)* Where is the dining room table from? A: Purchased through HOUZZ by Designer Breeze **Q: Island/ Cart** *(in Photo Questions)* Love this kitchen style and design choices! Was the island ordered thru the Houzz store? Loving it, too! A: Hi, Yes it was:) Mike **Q: Paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* Please share the paint color. A: This a gorgeous color, never seen anything like it before! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
