Modern Concepts Contracting

I own a rental unit that needed remoldeling. My previous long term tenant lived there for 22 years and was a chain smoker. When she vacated the apartment it was a disater! As a result, the aparment needed a total gut and remodel. The remodeling project consisted of: demolition of kitchen and bathroom, new kitchen, new bathroom, new vinyl hardwood floors, washer/​dryer addition, recess lighting, skim popcorn ceiling, new trim, interior doors etc.
My biggest fear was finding a contractor who was experienced, responsible, had good communication skills and moderately priced. Additionally, since I reside in Texas the contractor would need to work with me remotely and without my oversight. So as you an imagine my decision to hire someone was diffiult becasue I needed a contractor that I could trust.
My tenant moved out in July, therefore during the month of August I flew to Los Angeles to interview contractors. I met with at least 10 contrators before deciding to hire Charles, from Modern Concepts. Please note that I was extremely thorough in my search for the best contractor. Afterall, I couldn’t risk a poorly mananged project while I was in another state. Interviewing so many contractors was extremely exhausting. Nevertheless, I reviewed each and every contractors bid. Some were decent, others not so much and a few I could tell would cause problems down the road. Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that I tried to get a contractor referral from some landlord friends of mine and they couldn’t come up with one recommendation because a good contractor is hard to find.
In a nutshell, here is why I decided to work with Charles of Modern Concepts Contracting and here is why:
— He has excellent communication skills. He was responsive and answered my questions succinctly. Intuitively, I thought this was significant.
— He is licensed and bonded. Unlike other contractors who stated they were licensed and bonded but were not or they let their license laps.
— His proposal was professionally prepared and easy to understand.
— He completely understood the scope of work and never once did he questioned what I wanted done for my rental. Charles, listened and delivered.
— He didn’t nickel and dime the project. Other than a few upgrades that had minimal cost which I accepted.
— He started on time and ended on time.
— The quality of his work is excellent! We had a final walkthrough and any minor touchup work he fixed immediately. His finish is excellent and he did some extra things that come with this type of project such as trim out the windows. He even added an attic access as an extra convenience which the unit did not have since it was built in the 50’s.
I highly recommend Modern Concepts! I was extremely please with his work and I have extremely high standards.

My husband and I were moving into a new place that needed some work. We wanted to re-​do the kitchen and master bath in our 2 bedroom 2 bath condo in Irvine and out of all of the quotes I got, Charles by far provided the best quality, quickest response time, and most fair price.
There appear to be a lot of «shady» contractors out there who will cut corners, or contractors who overcharge you for everything, but Charles and his team worked quickly, efficiently, and everything was done perfectly.
We tore out the entire existing kitchen, put in new cabinets and appliances. Charles worked with us to make the process easy and helped us to achieve our vision. In our master bath, we tore down one wall to make the bathroom larger, gutted the entire thing and put in a double vanity in place of the old single sink, and took out the dim dark old shower, and put in a marble tile shower with shampoo box and seat! We were able to pick everything from the paint color, the tile, the backsplash… simply amazing. They gave us tips along the way and walked us through everything from the first to last step. The only thing missing right now is the shower door, and that’s because unfortunately it was damaged while shipping (things happen) so we are still waiting for the final install appt (will update with photos soon)!
The whole process took about 2 weeks which is amazing considering the amount of work that had to be re-​done. The guys, Juan and Marvin, who were in our home, were extremely professional and courteous and Charles came daily to visit to check-​in and organize the work for the next day.
If you’re looking for a contractor in the Los Angeles or Orange County area, look no further!

This company is honest n very loyal to their customers!!! We have used them painting our house and the did great job. I hve referred them to my friends they have used them and feel the same way. Thanks Charlie for such good work.

Whatever you do, DO NOT call or hire Modern Concepts Contracting!!! If they had zero or negative stars, that would be my rating.
I had Charles come to my house to look at water damage to a ceiling. I went out of my way to be at home during the day and re-​arranged my schedule to accommodate him. After looking at my house, he said he would have a quote for me later that day or at the very latest the next day. Repairing water damage is a time sensitive issue because of mold and I expressed this to Charles.
I never received the quote that Charles promised… not that day or the next day, but NEVER. Charles never returned my phone calls or e-​mails. I called and left 5 messages and I never received any sort of response. COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL.
OH and one more thing… There was water damage to hard wood flooring and Charles said to hire someone else because ‘that isn’t our specialty.’ These guys claim to be top notch contractors, but cannot handle installation of hard wood floors? Save your time and frustration and hire a company with professional service and where they value their customers.

These guys rocked it: reasonable prices, really fast, great customer service. Most important, they know what they’re doing and you feel confident letting them into your home. They redid a kitchen floor for me after some subfloor damage and naied it, plus found some structure issues that three other contractors had missed. In the world of the «Flaky LA Contractor,» they’re a godsend!

I had Modern Concepts do some interior remodeling on my house, including creating a bedroom, and I was very impressed with their work. They did a nice job that looks good, and were very fast and charged a reasonable price. I would definitely use them again for any contracting work I need.

I needed a contractor to help me put my showroom together. I called around and got many quotes, but Charles (owner) was able to come to my showroom and patiently go through everything with me. If there was something that he couldn’t do, he was able to recommend somebody that can. That is the honesty that I look for in a contractor.
He is my «go to» guy for everything that I need work on for the future.

I needed a build out for a retail store. Charles, the contractor that came over to give an estimate, was straight forward and easy to work with. His employees did a nice clean job and finished on time. I obtained several estimates. His was the lowest and he broke down each cost of the job. They gave me professional service with a high-​quality job at a very reasonable price.

I needed a contractor for a leaking roof and came across Modern Concepts. Unlike other contractors, they came right away and gave me a fair estimate. I’ve had horrible experiences with other contractors in the past, but love working with the owner, Charles. I will definitely use Modern Concept again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Honesty is what I look for when I do any work on my property. Modern Concepts is run by Charles, an honest contractor who doesn’t play the bs game. He’s honest, gets the work done, and is a fair price amongst the contractors that I got an estimate for the work that I needed done.
Will hire again for further work in future.
