We are thrilled with the amazing service and quality workmanship from Mega Development!David, the owner, provided a competitive bid and personally oversaw the roof replacement project.His team of professionals were respectful, courteous, and ensured our property was clean throughout the process. The installation was completed as scheduled and passed the city inspection !Davids commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction is evident in every aspect of the work.We enthusiastically give Mega Development 5 stars and highly recommend them for any roofing needs.Outstanding job, David and team!Thank you !

Unprofessional amateurs who seem to violate the law and cut corners as a matter of practice.Dragan Turkalj is the named contractor (Lic. No. 1102277-B) for a current (as of 5/30/24) garage to ADU conversion project in our neighborhood. Heres what weve witnessed so far:Shortly after the project began, according to public record it seems that a building inspector visited the site, likely because of excessive noise (excessively loud music and demolition work not matching the published permit), we suspect a stop work may have been issued when the inspector discovered other unlawful practices (perhaps a lack of required insurance or illegal workers?) because they stopped working for a few weeks after the inspection. It also seems they now have less workers than the original large crew which appeared to include many day laborers.They placed a porta-potty chemical toilet in the middle of the alley near the work site, obstructing traffic and creating a health and safety hazard to the community. They did not get a permit for the porta-potty, so thankfully LA 311 eventually removed the toilet from the alley (yes, LA 311 will tow the toilet for you).The workers illegally park in the alley every single workday. At least one sadistic worker seems to think its funny to block neighboring driveways so residents are trapped in their obnoxiously loud house (loud due to the construction) for several hours until LADOT Parking Authority shows up. Weve called LADOT at least 4 times because we were trapped by the same car belonging to a worker from the site (silver Toyota Corolla with gaudy black and pink hubcaps). One day when we were finally able to leave our house after being held hostage for several hours, we drove past the site and we saw small children playing in the dirt on the work site (not teenagers or tweens, they were small children) and a woman was sitting in the corner and looked like she might be squatting at the work site at night or something.Ive worked in construction for more than a decade and Im absolutely stunned by the complete lack of professionalism and the overt disrespect to the community that weve witnessed on this project. Its the most absurd display of professional incompetence Ive ever seen in all my years as an engineer on construction sites.Unlawful and short-sighted practices such as these can significantly delay your project and cause unnecessary and costly rework. Dont hire this guy for a remodel unless your home remodeling goal is really to maim a few children maybe, gain a stupid porta-potty story for parties, and make 100% certain that all of your neighbors hate you and wont invite you to their parties anyway. You deserve better than that.I will be happy to remove this review if Dragan can figure out how to legally finish this project in the next 2-3 weeks and get his awful crew out of my neighborhood. Either way, I plan to continue updating this review as more unprofessional behavior is observed.UPDATE: Sat. 6/15/24This awful company continues to bully and disrespect my neighborhood. They play loud, house-vibrating music on top of the already loud construction noise. They seem to get spooked and quit early when police show up (I wonder how that impacts cost/schedule?).This Saturday at 9am, theyre blasting music again. It looks like their customer is a Rabbi whose synagogue is 2-doors away from the construction site. The crew is blasting loud music on their customers sabbath while hes conducting religious services for his community. If this is how they treat the Rabbi, imagine how theyll treat you as a customer!I also found evidence that Mega Development & Construction may have been formed to allow Dragan Turkalj and David Lankry to escape their bad reputation and limit liability from  lawsuits against Modernize Remodeling, their other awful company. So include Modernize Remodeling in your research.David and Dragan, I will again offer to remove this post if you can get your crew to behave respectfully, which includes following all laws.

After few months of research and evaluate solar quotes for my house, it was very hard to decide which company will benefit me the most .I didn’t looked for the cheapest deal, I was looking for skill and experience .I met with David and Sam from mega construction and I’ve been really impressed by the amount of knowledge those guys had .They opened my eyes about my roof situation that I was not aware to .David provided me finance program with really good interest rates for now a days .We replaced our roof and installed solar panels, the job was very quick and went smoothly.Mega construction workers were kind and very professional (especially Juan), they always made sure the site is clean and no debris left behind .My roof looks amazing, I’m very happy from the choice I did .After the experience with the solar and roofing installation, we agreed for our next project that will happen in august, to replace all the windows and install new insulation in our atticHighly recommend mega construction.

Mega development did an outstanding job with my full house renovation .Upon meeting David, what I liked about him from the beginning was the kind of questions he asked.He clearly had a lot of knowledge and understanding of what was involved in the work I was considering.He offered really good suggestions for me to consider doing, while at the same time being very respectful of what I had in mind.We met few times at my home and at his office for going over the various options .He had so much patience and he didn’t stopped until I was satisfied with the end plan.My entire kitchen was replaced with custom cabinets, 2 bathrooms was complete remodel, a wall torn down To create an open space in common area, new hardwood flooring, popcorn ceiling removed in kitchen and dining room, new double pane windows and sliding door, new ac an ducting, and stucco repair and exterior paint .You can easily see the that his crew working together for many years, and they all very respectful and nice .The work was done quickly and efficiently.David and his project manager Daniel kept me informed of each step.Daniel sent me almost every day photos of the work in progress and they make sure to ask for confirmation if there was any change or question as to how to proceed.Upon completion of the project my home was left so clean almost like no renovation happened .I really love to cook in my new kitchen and I really enjoy to have friends and family in my old/new home .David finished the work few weeks before the timeline we agreed at the beginning .I’m so happy with the process I hade with David and Daniel .They did a tremendous work, I couldn’t pick better .I highly recommend David and Daniel for all of you future remodeling people .Use them and you will have peace of mind with very quality workmanship!

After interview 4 contractors for my garage conversion for my rental property in Tarzana, I chose David with mega construction. The quote they gave me was not the cheapest, but David made me feel very comfortable with his experience and knowledge . During the project David was very responsive to my questions . The crew who worked in my house was very efficient, they were very creative and had solution for any obstacle they ran into . David is a man of his word and you can see the passion he have for his profession. Iâ m very happy with the decision I made, we just passed the city final inspection last week and the ADU looks great . In overall the project went smooth and even when we had bumps it been taken care immediately. I highly recommend to whoever read it to use mega construction, you won’t regret .

Ben did an amazing job on my parents kitchen renovation.Our kitchen was long overdue for a renovation, and it needed a complete overhaul as we had water damage in the ceiling due to water leak we had last year .My family and I worked with several different contractors for our homes renovations over the years and without a doubt, Ben and his team are by far the best weve dealt with.process was made so seamless, stress free, and the final outcome completely wonderful.Not only would we highly recommend Ben and his team for any one else looking to do home renovations, i feel so blessed to have been fortunate enough to find them to my parents .to have such a positive experience, and to have gained the outcome my parents desired.Their work speaks for itself and we will always be grateful to Ben and his teamOur home value has increased and it looks much better .If you looking for stress free, quality and professional company, I recommend to use mega development.

I have a rental property in Whittier that needed to be updated badly .We needed new flooring, exterior and interior paint, new heating and air system and new air ducts .I had 3 different contractors come give me quotes.Eli stood out. He was very professional and communicative and his bid was very detailed and included all parts and labor . It felt like Im not gonna have surprises like I had on a different job. (A $25,000 surprise.)Eli provided an excellent service and the price was right for me.The house looks great, and we are very pleased with the results. The workers were respectful to my wife and kids every time they were there.We will use Eli and mega construction for our future home improvement projects .Thank you Eli. 5 stars.
