Cisco Construction

Yani with Cisco Construction, just finished a remodel project for our recently purchased condominium. I just cannot say enough good things about him and his team. The project was almost a complete remodel. It included three bathrooms, a new kitchen, all new flooring and paint throughout the unit. Yani was able to finish the project in budget and on time (even though we significantly increased the scope by adding in the kitchen remodel). It looks amazing! Yani was incredibly organized and super responsive throughout the project, and his attention to detail was top notch. His crews were always on-time, and they worked diligently to complete their work, while keeping everything clean and neat throughout the job. I would not hesitate to recommend Yani and Cisco Construction for any similar projects. Five stars for sure!!

Yaniv was really thorough with all of the details throughout the project, which I really appreciated. He was also very responsive if anything came up. Would definitely recommend him!

We were thoroughly pleased with Cisco. Owner Yani is a professional, personable, straight-up guy who does what he says and fulfills all promised services and deadlines. Following repairs for our upstairs water leak, Cisco did the painting (thank you, Peter!), rehung cabinets, reconnected appliances, and helped us move some heavy items back into our home. All were done with perfection and way before the finish date Yani had originally promised. We highly recommend using Cisco for all your remodeling needs.

This was our third project with Cisco Construction and Yaniv over the past five years. This was an exterior renovation of our old and 40 year old stucco and window trims. In about 4 weeks our home was transformed with a new fresh modern look. All the work was done professionally and with close communication throughout the project. I would highly recommend Cisco and Yaniv for your next construction project.

Yani is amazing and goes above and beyond! He’s been our go-to since 2019, when he converted our garage into an ADU. When there were hiccups, as there often are in construction, Yani was always there, in person, to quickly solve any issues. Thank you Yani!

THESE ARE THE PROFESSIONALS YOU WANT IN CHARGE OF THE JOB! HIRE THEM! Yaniv is honest, reliable, responsive and committed to finishing the project correctly. The people he hired all showed up on time, wore masks and distanced, did the job correctly and professionally, and were good respectable people. We stayed on budget, on schedule and on scope to completion. We bought a house that needed work, and the kitchen needed help, bad. New to the area and home remodeling I found Yaniv through Yelp and other local reviews. Yaniv came out for an estimate and was the first person to give me a detailed quote highlighting all the work and cost involved from start to finish. As someone who deals in project management, this is the sort of professionalism and transparency I appreciated seeing - I could track the work and payments the entire way. The project kicked off with a contract, payment schedule and followed up with a purchase list for me to acquire, broken down into delivery timing to match with the work schedule! Once I had sent over measurements for the appliances we wanted, we got the measurements for the kitchen plans and everything fell right into place from there. The only adjustments made were to deal with some unexpected plumbing and electrical needs that were all presented with options, recommendations and budgeted out. Once approved (all of the recommendations were made based off of what would be BEST FOR THE KITCHEN, nothing else) the work was agreed upon and completed on time and on budget. I was very pleased to see all the teams come in and work efficiently, which can only be done when the team managing everyone (CISCO) has great scheduling and great communication with their team. Everyone knew what they needed to get done and finished on time. Nobody was dragging their feet on the project, and nobody was trying to make things more complicated or expensive than planned. I also didn't need to get involved, which was even better since I was working from home and had a family all doing distanced-learning with COVID19 disrupting so much of everything except this remodel! CISCO and all the specialists who came to do their job were fantastic. We got all of our work done on scope and on budget. All of our permits were filed and all inspections were completed and approved on the first pass. The schedule was very well managed so there was no real downtime. The support and clarification on what needed to be purchased and when really made the job easy for me to get everything ready for the next step - and anything that I had no understanding of Yaniv was there to explain. I also can't wait to hire them again to get more work done on the house!

Yaniv was great to work with. He is professional, patient (with me - new to doing a remodel), and trustworthy. He did a great job, and I recommend him.

September 15, 2021 I contacted Cisco Construction in January 2021. I had a pipe burst in my home over New Year’s weekend. I was distraught. I contacted my insurance company who recommended that I find a contractor to do the repairs which were extensive. I met with over 6 different contractors who all had their own ideas of what had to be done. After reviewing each estimate carefully, I decided to hire Yaniv Levi, the owner of Cisco construction. I could not have made a better choice. From the day I met him, Yaniv was professional and detail oriented. He immediately created a computerized rendering and gave me a design idea for the kitchen. Because I had the same wood flooring throughout the house, it all had to be removed because of water damage. This resulted in the need to completely re-do all the rooms in the house. Drywall had to be removed and replaced. The entire home needed to be repainted. All the appliances and cabinets had to be removed because of water damage to the floor and walls. All the fixtures were removed in the master bedroom, hallway, guest bath. All the furnishings in the home were temporarily stored and I moved into a hotel so that the work could be done. Yaniv carefully created a plan that was detailed and organized. From the time the work was done until the day it was finished, the work progressed in a timely and well-planned fashion. When my appliances were delayed, Yaniv was able to adjust his schedule accordingly. His workmen were professional, polite, wore masks and worked in a timely fashion as well. Yaniv and I worked closely. He took a personal interest in getting me back into my home as soon as possible since he was aware of how this disaster had disrupted my life. He was very sensitive to my situation and treated me with respect and kindness. He was very accommodating. There were several situations where changes had to be made and added to the project. He promptly figured out what needed to be done and documented the changes in writing. His accounting was very organized and timely. Yaniv helped me make decisions along the way. Many items had to be purchased. He went with me to choose all kitchen and bathroom fixtures. He helped me pick out flooring. He recommended an excellent kitchen cabinet company and helped me pick out countertop materials and fixtures as well. He made sure everything was installed carefully and properly and always cleaned up afterwards. I was able to be able to move back into my home within 6 months. The home I returned to was more than I could have wished for. I am thrilled with the results. It seemed as if the entire home had been remodeled and I was moving into a new home that had all the personal touches I wanted. I wholeheartedly recommend Yaniv and his crew.

The project was a kitchen remodel. We needed to enlarge and change our 10’ x 10’ kitchen with ugly 70s décor. Our only option was to remove the wall separating the dining room and replace it with a wide counter that extended into the dining room floor plan. An existing window would have to be replaced with a smaller one. Yaniv, the owner/project manager did some hand holding with us as Cisco produced a software-generated plan of our proposed changes which was of immeasurable value in providing a visualization of the project. The original bid was $53,500. With the change orders to come, the total was $68,000. The project was L. A. City inspected. A schedule of the work and payments respectively were agreed on and demolition commenced. The job started on June 1 and some final details were attended to on August 23. The porta-potty was picked up on Aug. 24. The scope of the job changed over the first weeks. Several change orders were added to which the company easily adapted. Immediately it was discovered that the wall that we wanted to remove was load bearing and the appropriate work was arranged. An old sub panel that controlled the kitchen was upgraded. We added under-cabinet lighting and extended the porcelain tile floor 300’ more sq ft. than was originally planned. An extra room was painted. We had to buy a window and in the covid commercial environment where many products were either hard to get or unavailable, its delivery interfered with the schedule. Cisco adapted and switched focus to flooring, staying on schedule. I communicated a lot with Yaniv, texting him frequently with questions about what was happening that day and when. He quickly fell into a rhythm and began letting me know unprompted. Tradespeople came and went and most were very friendly and communicative if engaged. A couple guys showed up without masks or not taking masks seriously and there were a few confrontations about whether individuals had been vaccinated. In one instance, a guy admitted he hadn’t but immediately got his mask. We could see that the work was being done very well. We obtained our countertop, floor tile and backsplash from nearby United Tile. Though not obligated, Cisco provided complimentary transportation for the floor tile. After about 7 weeks we had a painted, tiled, plumbed, electrified, cabineted and countertopped kitchen. Yaniv was suddenly called out of the country on an emergency. Without his guidance, the last few tasks of the job lost the previous momentum. When Yaniv returned in August, the pace resumed and the job concluded. We were ok absorbing this unusual circumstance. I felt a good trust with Yaniv and it was never difficult to deal with him. Price wise, I was happy to pay for the baked-in expertise of this company. All in all it was a really good experience and we are thrilled with the results. A definite recommendation.

This was our second project with Cisco Construction and Yaniv. We decided to remodel our 70's outdated bathroom and replace our windows throughout the house. We initially planned to start the project in Mid March, 2020 and Covid hit and we put the project on hold. Yaniv was very cooperative and understanding of our concern and when we started the project in October, his team was completely Covid compliant and respectful, practicing masking and social distancing. Not realizing how complex a project like converting a old tub bathroom to a modern walk in shower, Yaniv was communicating with me almost daily on the weaving of the trades that needed to come and go and with The timing of demolition, plumbers, electricians, painters, pan installers, tile team, and of course several inspections. In the end we were thrilled with the final product. Like any renovation project, there were some bumps and surprises but Yaniv worked with us and always made us feel comfortable that we would get to the finish line. We did and we are thrilled! Check out the before and after pictures in the photo section.

I don’t often write reviews, however, I would be remiss if I did not indicate to the community the outstanding work performed by a Cisco Construction and its owner Yani. I’ve hired many contractors of over the years (I’m 78) and Cisco Construction is by far the most professional, efficient, transparent, and honest. The work exceed all my expectations. I have a close attention to detail (lawyer) and am not easily impressed. I was very impressed thanks to Yani and his crew. - Jay R.

We hired Cisco Construction for a Kitchen and Powder Room remodel. Yaniv and his team were great to work with and allowed us to be very creative with our design. We were told the project would be about 4-5 weeks and it was completed on time and on budget. Yaniv is very responsive and communicates frequently and was on site on a regular basis to check the work and progress. Cisco transformed our outdated mid-70's kitchen and powder room into 21st century modern functional spaces that we are thrilled with. If you want quality, integrity and professionalism in your project, give Yaniv a call.
