Quality First Builders

Eli and Donna renovated our dream home in South Pasadena, California. We initially went through an architect and had contacted few contractors but were disheartened. We saw the board of Quality first builders in our neighbourhood and just walked there. We met the team working there and just liked the vibe and felt comfortable right away and felt that our search was over. Quality first builders did major renovation of our house, knocking down a wall, open the kitchen, 4 bathrooms, plumbing, floors, HVAC system, practically the whole house renovation. Eli and his whole team is very professional, responsible, and approachable. Eli was very transparent in all communications. Anytime we called Eli or Donna, we got a response promptly. Donna’s expertise in interior designing was a huge help. S

Eli and Donna are a dream to work with! We had a house fire in 2021 where we needed to rebuild our entire home. The moment we met Eli and Donna we knew we wanted to work with them. They were professional, came in at a good price point and were highly recommended by our family. Our house looks great, and Eli + team were able to rebuild our entire home within 7 months! Donna was great at walking us through floor plan options and working through our design details to really bring our home to life. I would 100% recommend Eli and Donna to anyone. They get the job done and do a beautiful job.

I had the pleasure of working with GC Eli and his talented interior designer partner, Donna, on the construction of our 1200 sqft ADU, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the very beginning, Eli showcased an impressive level of knowledge and expertise in the field. He approached every aspect of the project with a solutions-oriented mindset and helped make the process really smooth from start to finish. Eli's reliability, trustworthiness, and professionalism were crucial for helping make the entire construction process go smoothly. We built during the pandemic, which created all kinds of issues outside of our control (supply chain issues, delays from the city, etc.) but he handled them all like a champ. He consistently exceeded our expectations with his attention to detai

They say the best thing to do is to buy the worst house in the best neighborhood you can find and remodel it. Which is true, and exactly what we did. But as first time homebuyers, and first time home remodelers, we were very nervous about taking on a full house remodel which is incredibly daunting and ultimately depends on the quality of the general contractor. Horror stories abound about contractors lying to their clients, going over budget, blowing past deadlines, and taking advantage of people who have very limited knowledge of construction related issues and norms. Thankfully, we found Eli at Quality First Builders, as well as his wife Donna from Moderna Design. Eli explained all the details to us up front in a series of collaborative meetings, helped us understand the things we were

We knew our house was old but didn’t realize how big of a can of worms we were opening until the renovation started. The plumbing was a mess, the electrical was outdated, and there was water damage in a wall we were hoping to keep. A friend recommended Eli and Donna and honestly it felt like a lifeline. Eli stayed calm and walked us through every option without making it more stressful. He took a lot of the pressure off us and they were able to get started right away and kept things moving without panic or drama. We ended up remodeling the kitchen and adding a bathroom, which finally brought the whole house into this century. Donna helped design around the quirks of the house instead of fighting them, and now it actually feels like the modern home we had in mind from the beginning.
