ModernGeneralContractor

Alex is honest, knowledgeable, hard-working and talented guy. He and his team have done several projects for me throughout the last couple years. I am always pleased to recommend them to my clients, my friends or anyone who needs reliable general contractor.

WARNING: BEWARE OF THIS CONTRACTOR A Tale of Promises and Unfulfilled Dreams Once upon a time, I entrusted my home remodeling project to Aleksandr Zhukovskiy, known in the trade as Yagor Construction Inc. and ModernGeneralContractor (spelled together!). At first glance, Alex appeared to be the ideal craftsman—friendly, charismatic, and full of grand promises. His warm demeanor and persuasive assurances made it easy to believe that every detail of the project would be executed flawlessly. The early chapters of our story were filled with minor works—framing, drywall, and other structural elements that, while important, only hinted at the grand design. Yet, as the narrative unfolded, it became clear that the true masterpiece of the project—the intricate and critical steel beam installation—was being sidelined. Despite having received a substantial deposit and completing portions of the work, Alex inexplicably abandoned the project. In fact, the framing and drywall he managed to finish were so substandard that another contractor had to step in to correct his work—an admission, it seems, that he knew his work would never pass inspection. In hindsight, the red flags were unmistakable from the start. I now realize that his efforts to dissuade me from pulling permits and scheduling inspections were nothing more than calculated moves. It appears that his reluctance to adhere to proper permitting was driven by the looming threat of a city building inspection that would have exposed his inability to meet industry standards—especially for the critical steel beam installation he never completed. But what makes this story even more frustrating is that despite my numerous attempts to get a clear answer as to why he decided to abandon the project, I never received any justification—none, nada. He acknowledged owing me money and made numerous promises to repay it, but those promises turned out to be as empty as his commitment to the project. Adding another layer to his deceptive tactics, although his license is issued under Yagor Construction Inc., he prefers to hide behind the name ModernGeneralContractor. This isn’t surprising, given that his prior company has already garnered a notorious reputation as an unreliable contractor, as evidenced by a slew of negative Yelp reviews. Such attempts to rebrand only underscore the hypocrisy and lack of accountability in his business practices. I have since filed a complaint with the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) and initiated a case in small claims court to address these unresolved issues and the financial losses incurred. I share this tale as a cautionary reminder for anyone considering his services: look beyond the charming façade, demand transparency and proper permits, and always insist on quality workmanship before entrusting your dreams to a contractor.

I had the pleasure of working with Alex and his team on a water damage repair project in my two bathrooms and I could not be happier with the results. The team was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the entire process. They kept me informed of the progress at every stage and made sure to address all my concerns. The quality of their work was exceptional, and they completed the project well within the estimated timeline. Overall, I highly recommend Alex for anyone looking for a reliable and skilled professional to handle their repairs and home improvements needs.

Alex is the most honest, professional and knowledgeble contractor. He remodeled all my bathrooms in a short time and I cannot be happier with his work. I went through so many contractors in my life and he is my number one. I would highly recommend him. I referred him to one of my friends and they cannot stop thanking me for how good he is. Definitely 5Stars!!!

We hired a contractor who made a ton of mistakes. Alex was so professional and is a very gifted contractor. He came into the project and went through everything in detail and fixed all the issues we were having with plumbing, waterproofing, etc. He is amazing, I highly recommend him.

I recently had my bathroom remodeled with a tub to walk-in shower transformation, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Alex and his guys were professional, friendly, and attentive to my needs and design preferences. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, and Alex kept me updated on progress every step of the way. The finished product is amazing - my new shower is spacious, modern, and exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend Moderngeneralcontractor to anyone looking to transform their bathroom. 5 stars all around!

Great job! Kudos to Alex and his team! They completely transformed my newly purchased house into a stunning home. Their professionalism, attention to details, and commitment to excellence exceeded my expectation. I highly recommend this general contractor to anyone seeking top-notch renovation services.

Alex did a fantastic job breaking up and leveling out a concrete slab and installing artificial grass in my back yard. It was a simple job that became very complicated due to live electrical wires that were discovered under the concrete. Alex was able to make the wires safe by doing work at the circuit so the job could continue without delay and followed up after I had an electrician re-wire. I highly recommend Modern General Contractor! They were fast, friendly and efficient at a very reasonable price.

Alex and his crew of one were at our house everyday they said they'd be there. Alex responds 100% of the time to questions texted or e-mailed to him. He is extremely polite, clean, and reliable. We had a window rebuilt and two rooms painted. The window looks great (we'll have to wait for rain to see if the leak's fixed, but looks like it should be), and the repainted rooms also look great. Everything was covered when the rooms were painted, and there's no trace of paint anywhere in the rooms where it shouldn't be. Alex is a terrific person who is responsive and reliable; something that's hard to find in contractors these days.

I hired Alex and his crew to remodel my kitchen and build addition in my house in Los Angeles. I decided to go with Midern Heneral Contractor because I valued his upfront approach. As opposed to other contractors, Alex was honest about what needs to be done and pointed out all structural and hidden issues. There was no surprises and only few changes, mostly on my request. His crew was professional and respectful my neighbors too. I felt safe. They cleaned up every day, placed cones and covered my furniture with care. I had great experience with this remodeling and will contact for future construction projects. My friends are already calling them. Highly recommended. Thank you for the good work!
