Chen was a pleasure to work with. He was always prompt and responsive, and provided us with some great insight into the kitchen/breakfast room and bathroom remodel we were working on. We were lucky enough to have a family friend be able to have his schedule open up to take on the project for us, but we would have chosen to work with Chen if not. I highly recommend reaching out to him for any kind of remodel as he is highly professional and has great attention to detail.

I hired Manchen Construction for a bathroom remodel, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and highly skilled. David, which was our project manager, was exceptional. He kept everything on track and made sure every detail was perfect. The office staff, Sandra and Elmer were also fantastic. Always responsive and helpful, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. They took the time to understand my vision and delivered exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Manchen Construction for any home renovation needs!

TLDR: this company does not communicate internally and will ask you to pay bills without a clear invoice/documentation for what it's for.
Working with Manchen construction started out fairly positive, then quickly headed downhill when we ran into issues with the city.
The issues that we ran into with the city were not Manchen's fault and we believe our project manager at the time was working well with us to try and find a middle ground with what the city was requesting from us.
We have a 30 email exchange with our previous project manager back in October, then ambiguous reschedules for a follow up meeting with an engineer, then a text early November that he is no longer with the company and someone will contact us to continue the project. NO ONE CONTACTED US.
I emailed them end of January to try and continue the project, someone replied quickly but with incorrect information. That's fine since there were numerous updates/changes happening while we were working with our previous PM. What's not fine, is even after forwarding them all of the correspondence with our previous PM, they send out a new guy WHO DIDN'T BOTHER TO READ ANY OF THE PREVIOUS EMAILS OR LOOK AT THE PREVIOUS PLANS BEFORE COMING TO OUR HOUSE. He spent more than an hour at our house, starting from scratch on something we'd already been working on with someone from the same company for 6 months.
After that, we didn't hear anything for over a week. They asked if we wanted to proceed working with the new PM and get new plans, I said no and then suddenly I had outstanding bills to pay them. I said ok, send me the invoices/receipts. 11 days later I received ambiguous screenshots of email records of payments - some of which didn't even show our address or anything about our property. This was all in April.
Then finally, end of July I received the record of the plan check they were asking me to pay.
In conclusion and if you've made it this far, this company may be fine to work with if you only work with one member of their team for absolutely everything. If you get transferred to a new PM, please know you will be starting from scratch. If you have to speak to the person in the office, she will speak over you.

I call this company to remodel my bathroom. Since they did a great job on my kitchen. They absolutely didn't let me down with my bathroom. David Lior was a very good individual to work with, and I highly recommend his expertise in helping you build your next project.

A few months ago I had a Bad Leak from my neighbor's toilet above (very gross). The damage was obviously extensive enough that I decided to start over and redo the whole bathroom. I interviewed multiple contractors, and Chose David Lior from Manchen Construction. He was willing to work with me on Price and was helpful and professional; troubleshooting through the whole process. I'm very pleased with the results, see attached pictures. I look forward to working with the company again when I'm ready.

This was my first time ever doing a renovation project and I really appreciated Gabe and Rafael's guidance throughout the process. I remodeled the master bathroom of my condo and they were able to complete the project in time for my move-in date. I absolutely love how it turned out, the quality of work is very high. The tile was installed impeccably and it really upgraded the overall feel of the master bedroom/bathroom area. The construction workers were all very talented and professional.

I'm not going to recommend a contractor unless I really, really liked them. I recommend Manchen. Super-responsive, answered every question and concern I had through the process, high quality work, and their entire team cares: from Denny, the point person/main contractor, to his office staff...everyone just seemed to really CARE!

When planning the remodel of our kitchen we evaluated 7 contractors and chose Manchen because they had proof of their prior successful projects and the lead contractor David Lior was eager to win the business but not overbearing.We were pleased to see that pattern continue during the work itself as David led an extensive team to do what we expect a professional contractor to do: offer ideas and expertise, perform quality work, and drive through obstacles to keep the project moving amid several frustrating hurdles and delays caused by a long HOA approval process as well as the various required government permits (building, electrical and plumbing).Through the process they were honest and open and collaborative. We chose colors, materials and designs with their expert guidance and input. On a couple of occasions their advice saved us from our own bad ideas and resulted in a much-improved final outcome. And when little things went off track (as things inevitably do in large projects) Manchen stepped up consistently to make the changes needed.We think the results speak for themselves.

Working with Denny + the Team an Manchen was so easy. They are consummate professionals and every step of the way they were quickly responsive and totally helpful.As an Interior Designer who focuses on non-remodel AirBnB decor and styling, I didn't have a go-to Contractor. We interviewed many people and instantly lovedDenny's vibe, how he carries himself and represented all of Manchen's prowess.With any kitchen remodel there will be hiccups. Each time we came across a problem with the asbestos, mold or change orders, they were thorough and prompt.I will happily refer everyone to Manchen and will definitely use them again for my next remodel client.Thanks everyone!Services: Project management

Although remodeling the kitchen and painting the house while living onsite is difficult, our contractor, David and his crew made it as pleasant as possible. David was there daily, and explained everything to us. The outcome is beautiful! The kitchen makes me smile every time I go in there. We would use their services again and recommend themServices: Tile work replacement
