Lavan Construction - San Jose, California

Era21 Construction

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lavan, and I must say, their reputation as masters in their craft is well-deserved. From the onset, the team demonstrated a profound level of expertise and commitment to quality.

What stood out to me was their attention to detail. Whether it was the initial design discussions or the final touches in the construction phase, they ensured every aspect was executed with precision. The craftsmanship displayed in their work is nothing short of remarkable – it's clear they take great pride in what they do.

The project management was flawless. They maintained clear and consistent communication throughout the project, keeping me informed and involved in every decision. Their ability to stick to timelines and manage resources effectively was impressive, ensuring that the project was completed within the agreed timeframe and budget.

Another aspect worth mentioning is their professionalism. The team was always respectful, punctual, and attentive to our needs. They worked diligently to minimize disruptions and kept the site clean and organized.

The end result was phenomenal. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, transforming my vision into reality with an extraordinary level of skill and artistry.

I wholeheartedly recommend [Construction Company Name] to anyone looking for top-notch construction services. Their blend of exceptional skill, professional service, and genuine passion for their craft sets them apart in the industry.

We engaged with Lavan in 2019 for our addition and full remodel project. We were looking to add about 500 sq ft and do a full remodel of our existing house (plumbing, electrical and bathrooms included). We talked to a few contractors and selected Lavan because they were the only ones that explained the process in detail, provided us insights about what to consider etc. Fahid and Moein spent multiple sessions even before they had been shortlisted.

The permits were delayed because of Covid and we started our project in Sept 2020. Fahid and Moein did everything they could to get started as soon as possible even with Covid and supply chain delays.

It was a big project and we were very anxious. But overall we had a great experience with them. Lavan (Fahid and Moein in particular) listened to our needs, took accountability and even improved their process based on feedback. Throughout the construction phases, they were ready to take our inputs and adjust to our needs where possible. They implemented better project communication when we gave them the feedback. They helped us select quality materials for flooring, cabinets, countertops etc.

In any large construction projects there are going to be bumps in the road- and we did too. But Lavan always resolved those to our satisfaction. I have heard horror stories of delays from other people, but Lavan finished our project on time. I would gladly work with Lavan again if there is an opportunity in the future.

March 2022 update:
It has been over 2 years since we have moved back into our house. Of course there is normal wear & tear on the house but overall, everything is still holding up wonderfully. Nothing is broken, no major issues have come up. Thank you, Lavan team!

Original review:
We hired Lavan for a massive remodel & addition that took 6.5 months and I echo much of what other reviewers have said - they are trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable, and good with consistent communications. They will help you do what you want within your budget, or they will make alternative suggestions. They genuinely care about your home and I think that's hard to come by. They have an extensive vendor network which is hugely beneficial as we needed select and purchase all the finishes. Fahid helped a ton during that process as well.

Lavan is generally flexible and always willing to help you where they can. We had a fireplace we wanted to save and they made every effort to save it. We had a couple change orders, but due to additional things we wanted, not due to them.

Even after we already moved in, we had a water pipe out towards the street burst (completely unrelated to anything they did). They were able to send out one of their subs quickly that day to help us out and fix it. Also, after we had moved back in the house awhile, we turned on the heat and it did not work (some things you will not discover until much after completion). They were quick to send someone to troubleshoot and fix.

Overall, while there are small things here and there I would have done differently, we love the work Lavan did to create this beautiful home.

Our family decided to remodel our outdated kitchen, update the master bathroom and create an entryway bookcase and mudroom for our home. We looked around for a company that understood our needs and desires with the project and was easy to work with. Lavan was one several contractors we received a proposal and conducted an interview with. From very early on, we knew that they were someone we wanted to work with. They were transparent and upfront about this adventure we were both about to embark on as partners.

We started this project together and unbeknownst to all of us, learned we had all just entered a global pandemic. These are unprecedented times, there were many challenges that Covid-19 presented and the team at Lavan stood by our side and continued to work with us to ensure that we could continue and do what we could during this time.

While the project took longer than expected, the team at Lavan never left our side and continued to find ways to keep things moving as best they could and complete a beautiful remodel that we are very satisfied with.

We found that Moein and Fahid were very responsive to our questions and concerns throughout this project. Even when things didn’t always go as planned, the Lavan team was good about addressing any challenges and communicating with us that there would be an update and a solution.

Fahid’s knowledge and experience came through many times to help keep things moving, either dealing with various inspectors or sub contractors and navigating any unforeseen construction challenges. While our aesthetics may not have 100% matched at all times, we found him to be understanding, having great insight and vision and his communication style with both my wife and I helped to continue to put us at ease throughout the project.

Lavan is a family run business. Throughout our project we met most of the family. They are a growing business with a new design center and continue to look at ways to evolve their business to provide quality results for their clients. Lavan is built on honest hardworking people that you get to know and care about because they in kind care about you and your home!

I cannot say enough about the high quality of work performed to date by Lavan Construction. I hired Lavan Construction to help design and build a new kitchen for my 1950’ era home. I asked Lavan and three other contractors come out to do a walk through and estimate for the remodel. Lavan was the only firm to do an in depth interviews of my wants and needs before coming back with a plan and associated cost estimate. Their years of construction experience were clearly evident as they examined, measured, and asked about what I wanted from the project. They came back to me with a detailed plan outlining the process, individual phases (Design, Structural Support and Remodel) and associated deliverables and costs. We are now in the Structural Support phase and I must say, that throughout the process to date, I have been kept informed about the work, they have brought in specialists (structural engineers) to ensure all work is up to or exceeds code before inspection and worked with me in finding the best materials within my budget. I am truly looking forward to my new kitchen.

Working with Moein, Fahid and their team was a dream come true. We had a ton of work to do to make our new home move-in ready and Lavan surpassed our expectations on every dimension. Not only did they finish the project on-time (despite several “surprises” we all came across as work started getting done), but they met our budget expectations and did everything (and more) in their power to help us get the highest quality for the lowest price. They were beyond professional - they truly became part of our family through this project. They were trusted partners throughout - reliable, honest, organized and always with our best interests in mind. As someone who grew up in a construction family, I was overly impressed with the level of knowledge Fahid has. He is truly an expert in his craft, while being the nicest person to work with! I trusted his opinion and wouldn’t make a construction or design decision without his input. Fahid was also the only contractor (of 6 we met before hiring Lavan) that didn’t push their opinions too strongly or with any arrogance - he always gave his expert opinion, but also always said it was most important that we were happy with our choices. He was overly patient as we asked a million questions! Overall, a fabulous experience - if / when we ever do remodeling, we will absolutely hire Lavan again!

Fahid, Moein and the entire Lavan team are just terrific. Extremely professional, polite, reliable, and from start-to-end just delivered as promised. Project was completed on time and at cost, and they consistently above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Work product is of highest quality, and the team is super responsive and friendly. We would work with them ahead in a heart beat and recommend Lavan to anyone!
