Work Description: Engineer Services

Comments: We had concerns about the structural integrity of our home, prompting us to consult with a Structural Engineer. Their expertise and professionalism shone through as they meticulously assessed our foundation, attentively listened to our worries, and adeptly elucidated the underlying causes of the issues in our house. Furthermore, they provided us with invaluable insights on how to proactively prevent similar problems in the future and effectively address our current concerns.

Following their assessment, we received a comprehensive report, equipping us with the necessary information to engage contractors for the resolution of our minor structural issues. The in-person explanation provided by the engineer was not only thorough but also easily comprehensible to every member of our family.

Without a doubt, we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch structural expertise and guidance.

Work Description: Engineer Plans

Comments: I enlisted the services of ESL Designs three months ago, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the level of professionalism they bring to the table. When it comes to structural engineers, trust is paramount, and finding someone who truly knows their craft is essential. After consulting with several engineers recommended to me, it wasn't until I met with ESL Designs' representative that I felt confident in dealing with a genuine professional who had an in-depth understanding of the subject matter. I wholeheartedly endorse ESL Designs for anyone seeking their expertise.

ESL Designs impressed me with their lightning-fast document turnaround, hassle-free site visit scheduling, and their willingness to go the extra mile in assisting with necessary documentation required for a complex legal dispute involving the structural integrity of my building.

It's imperative to highlight that not all engineers produce high-quality work. Careful consideration is vital when selecting the right professional, especially when you're entrusting them with the detailed drawings of your home. I learned this firsthand when I allowed the co-owners of my building to hire another firm that provided woefully inadequate structural drawings, omitting crucial information. Fortunately, I engaged ESL Designs to validate the accuracy of the plans, and they promptly identified several critical areas that needed revision or contained glaring omissions. It's worth noting that many engineers overlook the finer details, which are absolutely vital when undertaking projects that can significantly impact your home's construction. ESL Designs, on the other hand, are meticulously detail-oriented and consistently deliver top-notch work. Their pricing is not only exceedingly fair but also highly competitive compared to other firms I considered.

What truly sets ESL Designs apart is their unwavering honesty. They provide transparent assessments of what your home needs to be fixed, leaving no room for doubt. I cannot recommend ESL Designs enough – you'll be in the most capable hands possible.

Work Description: Engineer work

Comments: Professional and kind. Eran came over to look at done deck and other issues. Inspectors and engineers can sometimes be alarmists, but Eran was reasonable and spelled out clearly the things I should be concerned about and those I shouldn’t. Would hire him again.

Work Description: Design and rebuild our master bathroom

Comments: We really love our newly remodeled master bathroom. We never imagined how the final look of the bathroom will look like and are stunned by the way it looks now. Eran, including the team at ESL Designs, put together a great space of luxury and custom functionality based on our requirements. All the working teams were very friendly, polite and listened carefully to all of our concerns and comments. We loved the way this entire remodeling company worked as one big team. Eran came over to the house very often to check and verify the progress and completion of the stages and made sure that the remodeling job was up to his high standards. All the workers were considerate of our house and our space. Very easy and reliable remodeling company to work with. Thank you Eran for our new master bathroom.

Work Description: Design and remodeling project

Comments: We were very lucky to find and hire Eran and his crew of remodelers at ESL Designs. For a while, we were searching for a contractor that can remodel our master bedroom, 2 bathrooms and an outdoor patio (within our budget based on research that we did for this type of work). Eran was the project manager and from the first meeting that we had with him, he was available and show us how he take the time to meet us (before we signed the agreements) in order to go over and over the design that his office did based on our requirements. He was honest with us about the budget factor and gave us several options about what he can do within that amount so there will be no hidden or additional costs during the work. Right after we approved the design and plans, the work started and Eran visited the house at least every other day and sometimes - every day to make sure that everything is on track and that there are no mistakes or problems. This was our first remodel at that house, so we had questions/concerns and Eran was available to us via phone and text. Eran’s crew always made sure to clean up at the end of the day (because we have young children). They were professional and pleasant to have in the house and they were very nice to us. Based on our experience with them, I can say that all the people that were at my house were hard workers and they completed the remodeling earlier than the date that Eran promised to us. Our neighbors, friends and family keep comment to us all the time about how beautiful the remodeling came out. We love our new house and the new rooms and are very happy we found him and look forward to working with him again!

Work Description: engineering work

Comments: I am super excited to write this review for ESL Designs. I was in a panic to find a structural engineer after finding out my freshly purchased condo had a load bearing post removed. Not one post, but two. I am the principal unit so it wasn’t imminent danger unless people started walking around on the roof - which is precisely what will happen before our roof is replaced in December!Eran was able to look through all the units in my building and actually find that the ground level unit had the same load-bearing wall removed - an exponentially worse condition. Eran was able to expedite creating plans and running them through the city planning services within a matter of days, delivering to me a package entirely approved, signed off, and ready for implementation.

Work Description: Room Addition Plans

Comments: Eran did a masterful job with our room addition. Our original engineer ran into complications with the lateral load and wanted to reinforce down to the ground level, which would have cost a fortune. Eran was referred to us by a neighbor and he was able to solve the problem with ease. I joined him at the building dept when applying for the permit, and he was able to answer their questions and walk thru his engineering calculations with clarity. They tested him on granular details and he passed with flying colors. During construction, Eran was consistently available and onsite with the foreman when questions popped up. The contractor said we “like working with Eran, he makes the building easy.” Which is what we heard from his other references. He comes from working closely with contractors and designs structures in a straightforward and economical manner saving his clients’ money. I will use Eran for my future projects and highly recommend him.

Work Description: Engineering project

Comments: Eran at ESL Designs was very helpful throughout our renovation process. He was prompt and professional and constantly available throughout our renovation. Eran’s services included providing blueprints and construction drawings, making improvement recommendations, obtaining city construction permits, and assistance with passing all inspections by the city. On numerous occasions, I requested him to speak w/ my contractor and provide engineering letters and calculations to the city inspector and he was always available and responded instantly. He certainly loves about his customers and the outcomes of their projects. I very much recommend his services and will surely contact him if I ever need structural engineering services again.

Work Description: Complete bathroom renovation

Comments: Highly recommend. Very knowledgeable, committed to the job, and efficient. Also very easy to get ahold of and communicate with. I retained him to take a look at my soft-story job. After reviewing the drawings and doing a walk-through of the building, he determined that my building may actually be exempt from the soft story requirements. Without making any promises, he said he would look at the drawings further and get back to me. Within 2 weeks, he had obtained an official exemption from the Building Department. If you have any hesitations about your soft-story job, or if you need someone who is knowledgeable in the field, contact Eran!!! I won’t hesitate to use him for any future engineering jobs.

Work Description: Inspection

Comments: Had a positive experience reaching out Eran at ESL Designs. We were about to put an offer on a house, but the inspection report pointed out that there could be hidden foundation issues. I sent the home inspection to Eran, and he gave us great feedback that led us to passing on this house. He knows what he’s doing and is straightforward. I highly recommend.

Work Description: Designing an abandon remodeling project

Comments: We had an excellent experience working with David. David is a truly professional and expert in his field. For our project, he handled all the structural work for the seismic retrofit and when our previous architect had a melt down, he even stepped in and took on that responsibility too. He collaborated with us and spent the time to understand our needs and where we wanted to take the project. He made our life much easier by sharing his knowledge on the building permit process and how to work with the planning department and the inspectors. Invaluable. We look forward to working with him in our next phase and would recommend him for future work.

Work Description: garage/basement/bathroom renovation

Comments: My wife & I really enjoyed working with David on our garage/basement/bathroom renovation. He was prompt, friendly, & quick to grasp our somewhat complex needs for the project (which included seismic upgrade, excavation & replacing old wooden posts & beams with steel), but also took the time & trouble for a repeat visit & several very helpful pieces of advice & referrals via email even after his work was completed. We would definitely work with him again & give him the highest recommendation!

Comments: We are new homeowners and wanted help to understand the condition of our house’s foundation and what sort of maintenance or remediation might be required in the future. David came out quickly and gave us valuable advice and insight. We look forward to working with him in the future and recommend him if you want somebody to take a look at your house’s foundation.

Work Description: Generating remodeling plans

Comments: David and his team were incredibly helpful and efficient in getting plans for a home remodel project drawn up quickly and with attention to detail. They even helped us submit the application to the city, which saved us a ton of time and headaches. David was responsive and professional and got back to us right away with all the details. We’ve had a lot of bumps with our project and so far, working with David and his team was the easiest and most efficient part of the process. They really helped us in a pinch and were grateful for them. I would definitely hire them again and also refer to friends and families.

Work Description: Engineer plans for our home remodeling project.

Comments: We had a great experience working with David and his team to generate engineer plans for our modern 4 bedrooms home. We spoke to a lot of companies before starting, but it was a no brainer to work with David. We loved how the team took inspiration from meetings and to understand what we are trying to achieve. I would definitely recommend ESL designs - we’re excited to work with them again in the future as other projects come up.

Work Description: Bathrooms remodeling

Comments: I recently purchased a house with three bathrooms that apparently had not been updated since it was built. David and his people were able to do an excellent job by renovating and upgrading all of them in one single remodeling project. From the beginning and during the first meetings that we had with David, we noticed clearly that he had brilliant ideas and a large scale of imagination on how to maximize the space and to make it as much functional as it can be AND based on our needs. Before the work began and after we decided on the plans, we met with him in order to choose all the final materials and also in that department; he was able to provide an excellent help and advises on what should we get and from where while focusing on the main thing which was — the budget. One of the most thing that surprised us was when we went with him to the tile store in order to select tiles for each one of the bathrooms and he was very patient as we truly struggled to make a decision. All the bathrooms together were completed in 3 weeks! The workmanship is wonderful and all of them look stunning. We will definitely hire ESL Designs for any type of future renovation projects at our house and we highly recommend them to anyone who is considering of renovating their kitchen or bathrooms.

Work Description: home design

Comments: ESL Designs did an incredible job on our kitchen remodel, entirely transforming the initial 1970 space beyond our wildest expectations. We loved working with Eran. He’s fabulously detailed, careful, collaborative and a powerhouse when it comes to solving issues and pushing projects forward — in other words, a total pro. His design ability was valuable. He helped steer us away from ideas we would have regretted later (“explosions of white”) and got us thinking about the space individually, in relation to the flow with other rooms. Well before the kitchen demo when our contractor came on the scene, we had a solid, well-thought out plan with all the details (drawings, dimensions, materials, etc.) carefully organized in one convenient binder. Nothing left to interpret, no winging it. The entire experience was worth every cent and we can’t recommend Eran and ESL Designs enough.

Comments: Excellent company and well organized! We hired them for our kitchen remodeling project. We have only good things to write about them (mainly Eran and Guliano) and this review reflect that! we highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good, honest, reliable, and professional company that can take any project and turn it to a stunning space.

Work Description: Plans for remodeling

Comments: Eran is fabulous! He is knowledgeable about materials, sources, and design, on top of that he’s easy to work with and gratifyingly affordable. Recently, I found myself in the middle of an unplanned remodel of an older-style duplex unit after a tenant’s unexpected marriage and exit. I didn’t know where to begin: what materials and design would offer the widest appeal and durability, but still be budget friendly. I discovered Eran online, and after reading up on him here, I decided to give him a try. I am glad I did! He was punctual, respected my goals, and helped me avoid what would have been costly and unnecessary mistakes. At the same time, He brought potential problem areas to my attention early (such as an odd sized oven and what to do about replacing it) so I wouldn’t be caught by surprise later. He referred me to some great source stores for materials I would need and suggested coordinating colors to achieve the look I was going for in the kitchen and throughout the house. He also had great referrals for contractors of various sorts to implement the work, but I went with my own guys. My house is starting to look so good I’d be happy to move into it myself! Thanks Eran, for improving my property and the living experience of my next tenant - and for keeping it all affordable (which adds to *my* living experience!). You’re worth your weight in gold.

Work Description: Structural services

Comments: It’s probably one of the few firms you can fully trust in the Bay Area. I got referred by a friend to ESL Designs for a kitchen and bathroom remodel of my condo. I wanted to replace the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and kitchen countertops. Since we did not require major structural changes hence ESL Designs said that we would need a simple architecture plan showing all the changes we needed to be done. They sent an architect to map out the current conditions of our house. They then prepared an architecture plan showing all the changes we wanted. The architect was very patient as we took our time to go through the plans and he also suggested which complemented the way we wanted to remodel our home. They completed the plans within two weeks and overall, it was a very satisfying process. We are very happy to go to ESL Designs. We will surely go with them if we need any engineering work in the future!

Work Description: Design plans

Comments: ESL Designs was the best thing that happened to me when it came to choose a reputable architect company for my dream project. Their communication, work ethic, execution is just top notch. Our main architect who did a stupendous job from start to finish. My Project was complicated and City of Los Angeles planning department was not of any help but ESL Design’s team not only helped us meet all the permit requirements but also helped in addressing all the city comments hence getting construction permits. Even during the construction, if we had any problem, Eran was right there to help us. I don’t know where i would be today without them, maybe/probably just lost in permit process. They just helped me realize my dream. I highly recommend them and will use their services again if needed.

Work Description: Professional Services

Comments: After reading all the excellent reviews, we hired Eran to design our home remodel. Eran & his team were very patient, they listened to our needs & could execute a plan that’s tailor to our style. I love how Eran & his team are quick to respond to my messages & kept me updated during the entire planning process. Our city has a reputation of taking their time issuing out permits, but Eran & his team could speed up the process by addressing all the issues/make changes as needed in a timely manner. I highly recommend ESL Designs for any remodel projects.

Work Description: Home Design

Comments: I have a very good experience working with Eran and his team in my single-family house remodel and design. They are very professional, responsive, creative, and very good listeners who always care about clients. A major remodel is needed for our house that purchased in 2016. From my friend’s recommendations, we found Eran, and we were so glad we did. During the remodel process, Eran was engaging with our ideas and needs into his excellent design. His helpful opinions on our structural and construction related concerns helped us solve many problems. His knowledge of the design also helped me picked some good materials that I never knew before which helped to maximize the design outcome but minimize our expenses. Throughout the construction process, Eran worked closely with our contractors, he visited the site (even after hours and weekends) to ensure the design was being implemented correctly by our contractors and to ensure we meet the deadline. He helped us assess each major component of the remodel from the perspective of design, permit, landscaping, neighbor impacts, etc. In addition to that, Eran worked closely with the Planning and Building Department to get all the necessary permits for my house remodeling, which ensure we were compliant with city code. His excellent work helped us sell the house for 35% over asking. I’m so happy to find such a great design firm that we would definitely love to work with in the future! Based on my experience, I would highly recommend ESL Designs to anyone who needs help with design service!!

Work Description: ADU Design

Comments: Eran and his office staff from ESL Designs helped me with ADU design, drawing and permit submittal. They are easy to communicate and great to work with. Eran has a lot of knowledge of design ADU to meet my requirements. I had phone calls, office visit and site visit with Eran before signing the contract. Everything was laid out clearly and Eran made sure I won't have any surprises throughout the project. I had couple of in person discussion with Eran to finalize the building set. Eran submitted and followed up with city on permit review.
Overall good experience. Will recommend to my friends in the future for ADU design

Work Description: Kitchen Evaluation

Comments: I called ESL Designs to get an evaluation if my kitchen wall is partition or lead bearing. I spoke to Eran who was very pleasant to talk to and very informative; we agreed on the service and price and he told me that someone will call me for scheduling the following week; I told him I was on a bit of a tight deadline. I received a call from him the following day saying that an engineer was available that day if my schedule allowed it. I said yes, Eran came over with the engineer at 3 PM on Sunday and did the evaluation. He was very courteous, knowledgeable and thorough! He completed the work in about an hour. I received my letter with a seal that following Thursday ... great work! I highly recommend ESL Designs!!

Work Description: Remodeling Project

Comments: We were in a need of a home improvement contractor man/company that can help us with design ideas for a house that we just purchased. We found ESL Designs because of the high rating that they have on several internet platforms. When we called them, we spoke to Eran who was very nice to us over the phone and we scheduled a meeting at the house for the following day. Eran came over to our house and after his inspection and understanding of what we want to achieve, he was able to give us a detailed understanding of what should we expect from this remodeling process. His experience and vision came into place when he start the work and was able to deliver to us a beautiful house with all the functionality and space that we wanted. We are so happy with the work that he did for us that we know that we will hire him for any future projects. Thanks ESL Designs!
