Constraction reviews in San Jose, California

Chris and his team at Blue Spade are phenomenal general contractors. Our project included kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical and lighting work. The team was highly professional and detail-oriented. Our renovation was completed on time and on budget, which is rare. They went above and beyond and a pleasure to work with. Pricing was also highly competitive for the quality of work. We are really happy with the end product and will definitely work with them in the future. Highly recommended!

I live in Sunnyvale California in a three bedroom two bath house. We hired Blue Spade Construction to remodel our master bathroom. They did great job. The quality is outstanding. They expanded the vanity area and provided us with good ideas for fixtures and tiles. The bidding process was fast and they did it on time and in the budget. I can recommend Chris and his crew to anyone. It was a pleasure to work with these guys.

Blue Spade is a GREAT company!
Chris is very responsive, quick to respond to messages
His crew is very nice. Very respectful.
I asked them to wear a mask, they did it.
They did an amazing job at remodeling a bathroom at my house. They listen to your needs and do anything to make you happy with the work.
I am SO happy that I gave the job to Blue Spade!
Chris went to pick up all the material for me.
I have nothing negative to say. If you have any work to be done... Blue Spade is for you!
Look at the pictures... before and after
I LOVE it

Blue Spade was great! They worked with our insurance company and did a real good job replacing flooring, putting in new water lines, new plumbing under our kitchen sink.
They worked good with the other contractors I had and between the three of them, our kitchen turned out awesome.

I had a great experience working with Blue Spade Construction on building my ADU unit. They completed the project in a very timely manner, and their crew was professional, skilled, and easy to work with throughout the process. I especially want to thank Maria and Mark for their quick responses whenever I had questions or needed assistance—they were always on top of things. Chris was also a pleasure to deal with, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

I’m extremely satisfied with the results and will definitely hire them again for any future home renovation projects. Highly recommend Blue Spade Construction!

We hired Blue Spade at our designer's suggestion to do 2 bathroom remodels at our home in Palo Alto. We really could not be happier with the results and highly recommend Chris and his crew. Everyone involved was pleasant and reliable, always showing up when expected and generally completing work in the expected time frames even when unexpected challenges inevitably cropped up. Chris is very professional and clearly values customer satisfaction and does whatever he can to make his clients happy -- in our case on example was we realized partway through that a design element wasn't to our liking and Chris happily did the rework that was needed to change things around.

Our new bathrooms look terrific, and even after the job was completed Blue Spade came right over when we asked for some post-completion adjustments. Appreciate the work and would definitely hire them again!

Great condition company

Thank you for your help!

Employees are rude and confrontational. Curse and yell daily. Hire someone else if you have any respect for your neighbors.

When you need a quility+ result, call the May Construction! Real craftsmanship from the genuine heart.

Assistance with design of our kitchen remodel was very helpful. Throughout the process they expressed concern regarding our preferences and followed up after the job was completed to ensure our satisfaction. They focused on quality and detail which we appreciated.

Greg, Donna and Bill are amazing Contractors, designers and problem solvers. I highly recommend May Construction as your Design-Build needs.

The back half of our home was covered with plywood siding, which required constant maintenance. We decided to have the siding covered with stucco, so we contacted May Construction. They were very responsive and gave us an estimate, which we accepted. Soon afterwards the project began. The project was well supervised and we were constantly given status updates. The crews were friendly and professional. We were very satisfied with the result and would highly recommend May Construction.

May Construction performed a complete remodel of the interior of our home and did a fantastic job.
A) Within budget
B) On schedule
C) Quality workmanship
P.S.We liked this Contractor’s performance ,so much, that we contracted them again for an add on 300 sq ft Master Bath including a walk in closet. Both of these jobs were rated 5 stars
In our opinion.
We would hire them again on any future Construction .,,,

May Construction remodeled our kitchen during the summer of 2018.
They did an excellent job, always showed up and always returned calls. Making the sink counter deeper than normal and lowering the windows worked out really well.They set us up with a great cabinet supplier who had a lot of good ideas on cabinet features that we really appreciate now that we've had time to use the kitchen.

I have worked with May Construction four times over many years. Each project was bigger than before culminating in a total house remodel.
That project went smoothly from design through the build. Project management was very good from all members of the May team including billing, vendor interface, and site management. The project came in ‘on time and on budget’. Their pricing may appear higher than some but the added value received from their knowledge, professionalism and customer satisfaction is well worth it.
I highly recommend May Construction.

May Construction was familiar to us before we even thought about starting our project. We had seen their previous work and knew this was the company we would use to help us create our forever home. From the first day they really listened to every conversation we had and drew up plans that exceeded our expectations. After that the May Construction Team took care of all stages of the renovation. It was so liberating to be able to trust the team with bringing our vision to life. They stuck very closely to their schedule and we had weekly meetings to stay informed of progress. My favorite part was the fact that they were able to finish our project a few weeks ahead of schedule! Greg, Debbie, Donna, Eric, Troy, Bill, Jerry, Ernie, Allison. Everyone was so wonderful. I hope I didn’t forget anyone. Most importantly, we are really enjoying everything about our house now.

Our one story 1960’s ranch style house in Saratoga, was in need of an upgrade. We ended up removing a few walls, creating a brand new kitchen, living and dining room with a transitional open concept. We updated an existing fireplace by refacing in stone and adding a gas insert. We added 110 sq. feet to our master suite by adding a double vanity, walk in closet, and walk in shower, new floors, windows, roof and stucco to the whole house. We added air conditioning, and updated the heating system. All in all, the entire house is like new!

Greg May helped us finalize our decisions based on the vision we had for our house. He had great ideas, didn’t push to do unnecessary work, preserved some previous remodeling we had done, and kept it simple and straightforward while accomplishing what we wanted to do with our house. He was always keeping budget in mind and suggested ways we could do more for less, and be more efficient with our project. He wasn’t pushy and his personality was very calming in these very stressful beginning stages.

In looking for a General Contractor we had specific qualities that were critical:

Budgeting: Before we began, we worked through and estimated budget that we were able to tailor to what we wanted to do. Although we added more scope to the project once we started, we were never surprised in the middle of the project with additional costs to the original scope of our project. Many friends had said, “expect your budget to double by the end”, and happily we ended within our scope.

Project On Time: Although we had a few changes as the project progressed, we were back in our house within the six month time frame that was promised. We had an unusually wet winter during our project, and despite the weather, effort was made to move things along quickly. Eric was on top of keeping us on track to making decisions when it came to tile, flooring, fixtures, paint color, etc. to make sure that lead times would not hold up the project.

Hard working staff and subcontractors: Our neighbors commented on how surprised they were that we had people working on our house almost every day. It was rare that there wasn’t someone at the house doing something. It was even impressive when a variety of contractors would arrive at the same time to work side by side to save time on the project.

Quality staff: All of the employees of May Construction as well as subcontractors were respectful and courteous. I would be on site most days, and they truly valued my opinion and answered all of the questions and concerns that I had. Our designer, Catherine, made some excellent suggestions for bathroom design, and tile/countertop selections.

Attention to detail: May construction was sure to make sure that every detail was finished to our satisfaction. They were good about coming out even months later to fix any issue we had. With all new construction, you can count on a few problems, but May is quick to act to fix them.

Communication: It was easy to contact our project manager Eric. He was always available via text, email or phone. Even on the weekends, he was willing to answer questions and solve issues that had come up. No matter the situation, Eric was always a listening ear and would reach out to the proper subcontractor to get the issues resolved. Going through a remodel can be very stressful and May always took a calm and measured approach to any situation. They were good at listening to concerns, making suggestions, and made the process as pleasant as possible.

Overall, we are more than thrilled with the finished product. We have an amazing “new” home and have found new friends in May Construction. It is rare at the end of a project that people would not only value their contractor, but consider them friends. From the office staff, to the construction crew… EVERY person at May Construction was a fantastic person that showed they cared about making my house a home to be proud of.

In March of 2013 I purchased a 1319 square foot home in the Cambrian Park neighborhood of San Jose. The home was built in 1957 and I was fortunate to be the second owner. It had never been updated or remodeled so obviously I had a huge project to undertake. After interviewing a few contractors, I decided May Construction was definitely the one for the job and have never regretted my decision. The two bedrooms and bath on one side of the house only needed updating. The living/dining area, kitchen, and master bedroom/bath on the other side of the house needed a new design. May Construction’s designer was very knowledgeable and came up with the most awesome and functional design. I found May Construction to be reliable; the construction began on time and was finished on time and within my budget. May Construction also has the experience necessary and they are perfectionist. My house was transformed into an amazing home! We had a good work relationship as they are excellent communicators. Their entire staff was friendly and courteous. I can honestly say May Construction always had my best interest in mind!

We hired May Construction in 2014 to do a complete gut/remodel/addition for our home in Los Altos. We took the house down to the studs and replaced all plumbing, electrical, sewer, floors, roof, etc, etc...They provided us with a week by week timeline for the progression of work. At times there were 3-4 trades working on our home at one time to ensure the most efficient use of time possible. Greg from the beginning gave us a very detailed and itemized list for the cost of the project and scope of work, so there were no questions as to what they would or would not be doing. Budget wise, we knew EXACTLY what we would be spending and no "surprise" additional costs many other contractors tend to do. Liz, the designer was patient and always made sure the choices we were making was 100% to our satisfaction. Bill, the project manager communicated every detail with us as things progressed. He also ensured that every detail was fine tuned, even if it meant pulling something out and starting over. If there was not something we were not happy with, they addressed the issue immediately. Our neighbors commented that they were impressed by the lack of noise and debris they expected from a major remodel project. Everyone at May was easily accessible by phone, email, and even text. They were always very responsive with any questions and concerns we would bring up. I would not hesitate to hire May again for our next project.

May construction has done 2 major projects for our home in San Jose and they have helped out with some tricky repairs when needed. One was water damage from rains storms in the dry wall on our 15' vaulted ceiling in our living room! They were very professional at every step in the construction process from project planning to final inspections. Each subcontractor is carefully vetted so that you know everyone coming in will provide the same quality. If there is a problem, they will work on it until it is fixed to the clients satisfaction; May takes pride in their work and have very high standards for quality. We have been very satisfied with all of the work they have done on our home and will call them in the future when we decide to make any other improvements.
