General Contractor reviews in San Jose, California

We were looking to have our tiny master bathroom remodeled so that it actually FELT like a master bathroom instead of a tiny room that made you feel claustrophobic. We were so lucky to have been able to work with Tom and his go-to man Miguel in transforming our bathroom with a phone-booth shower into a luxurious spa-like oasis! From the moment we made the connection, Tom was extremely responsive, communicative, attentive, and both honest and candid about his recommendations. He helped us cut costs when we could, without compromising the vision we had for our bathroom. His time estimate for completion was on point- in fact, both Tom and Miguel worked diligently to try to complete our remodel well before the estimated date. Miguel deserves his own review- he was both hard working and candid about his recs, and in the end, we are so glad we trusted his suggestions because our bathroom exceeded our expectations. Miguel was also extremely kind enough to help fix some plumbing in our other bathroom, working late and even fixing some other plumbing issues we experienced unexpectedly. All in all, these guys are the dream team- they are the model contractors.

Class act and top notch remodel and design in the Bay Area. Honestly, we have worked with so many contractors and hands down Bay Builders are the best.
Their attention to detail and expertise is priceless. Also, when leaving the worksite for the day, they leave the home tidy and organized. We recently worked with Gilad on a project in our home and it’s stunning. He’s very detail oriented and notices everything! We can’t express how important it is to work with a company like them. The best in the area!!!

I worked with Isaac R. And Rene. Both were great to work with. They did everything we asked for. Our bathrooms came our beautifully. They were both very responsive when I texted or called. The next job we have I would definitely use them again.

My husband and I enthusiastically recommend Bay Builders to anyone who is planning a home remodeling project. Our experience with them was great. They redesigned and upgraded the kitchen and two bathrooms in our recently purchased dream home—to our complete satisfaction and within our relatively tight timeline and budget. This was no small feat given the various logistical complications related to the pandemic. (Other contractors we interviewed, prior to our decision to award the remodeling contract to Bay Builders, said that they could not complete the work within our timeframe.)
What specific qualities did we find most appealing about Bay Builders? I would say their professionalism, follow-through commitment, and pride in their work. They really listened to our needs, provided sound and candid advice, and then respected and implemented the decisions we made about the work we wanted done. Moreover, Bay Builders staff and contractors worked together seamlessly, making it easy on us as the clients to keep abreast of progress and results.
It's been a few months since the work has been completed. We are still busy admiring our new kitchen and bathrooms. A special shout out to Daniel, Miguel, and Moses. They were the very best!

I had a great experience with Tal and Bay Builders and Remodeling. Originally, I received multiple quotes to remodel my garage. From the start, Tal seemed more professional, knowledgeable and helpful than all the others. He provided a lot of great information and suggestions on the job I had in mind.

I decided to go with Tal with Bay Builders and Remodeling and I'm glad I did. As he promised the job was done quickly with workers showing up 6 days a week for two weeks. Tal showed up almost every single day to check up on things, and make sure everything was right. He pays attention to detail and he was always responsive to my questions, concerns and requirements.

In the end I am very happy with the outcome, and I would definitely do business again with Bay Builders and Remodeling!

Bay builder help me remodel two bathroom and kitchen. Ray is doing outstanding for the whole project I like it so much. Definitely recommend it to anyone who need help with

Wow! We are so impressed and happy with our renovation: brand new kitchen, 2 new bathrooms, and new flooring throughout. Gilad Baron and the team from Bay Builders really provided an end to end success.
Gilad was very clear about options and had helpful detailed suggestions during the design. He offered clear opinions and incorporated our needs. He was meticulous in coordinating the project from demo, to framing, to inspections, to plumbing and electrical, to installation of cabinets, counters and hardware. Gilad also personally joined us in selecting tiles and trim. I was most impressed that the budget was clear and that we stayed on time for the project. We saw progress every day (I’m not joking), and the full project was completed just when he said it would be.
Perhaps our strongest endorsement is for Gilad’s careful eye for detail. He inspected all work, and proactively had the team make changes when it wasn’t too his standard.
As he promised, Bay Builders provided us with a beautiful kitchen and bathrooms we will enjoy for years to come.

Kudos! to Bay Builders.
Our home was built in the 70's and needed updating. We had our kitchen remodeled by Bay Builders about five years ago and it is absolutely beautiful! We were so happy with their work that we recently had our master bathroom remodeled by them too. It is amazing! They did a fabulous job once again, always going above and beyond. I highly recommend this company. We will seek them again for our front bathroom remodel in the near future. Thank you!

Working with Tom & his Bay Builders team has been amazing. We've always known that we wanted to update our home that was built in the 90s, but we didn't know how to approach it. We knew how we wanted the kitchen to feel but didn't know how to define it. This is where Bay Builders excels. They take the time to get to know the client, understand their needs and desires, and patiently walk them through the process.

Tom started by having us send him our ideas and styles we wanted for our kitchen, we discussed them with his design team, and then we went to different cabinet makers to get a sense of the materials. We eventually settled on the materials, and his designer was able to input our desires into a 3D CAD model. The 3D render is super important to us because it would be foolish to spend a lot of money on a kitchen reno thinking it would look one way in your head but have it turn out differently in the end. Once we liked it, we bought materials, his building team was super easy to work with and showed fine craftsmanship, and executed our vision. They were flexible when we wanted to make modifications to the plan and overall were super professional. As an example of their work, here is a photo of the Before, 3D render, and After of the kitchen remodel.

We are so happy with their work that we decided to go with them again for our master bathroom remodel, which we are currently doing.

I highly recommend Tom and his Bay Builders team if you want anything done in your home or even if you need to build a home from scratch! They are honest, skilled, respectful, timely, communicate well, reasonably-priced, and professional. They make dreams happen!

While searching for contractors to remodel our master and guest bathrooms, some friends recommended Bay Builders. We contacted them and Gilad responded immediately and came to our home to assemble a quote. The pricing was competitive and we selected them. During the planning process, we asked for help in narrowing down the endless selections of tiles, etc. Gilad asked us to provide some photos of colors and styles we liked, and then he took us to various stores to pick out everything. This was incredibly helpful and was a big plus for us.

During the remodels, Gilad was very responsive to our questions and calls/texts and provided timely updates. His crew worked hard and understood the high standards that he had. They were all also very friendly and respectful. As both bathrooms neared completion, Gilad found some things that he thought could be improved, and his crew fixed them immediately. We ended up expanding the project to include a garage remodel as well. Gilad and his team came up with some innovative ways to implement the storage needs that we had.

We were very impressed and pleased with Gilad and Bay Builders and wouldn't hesitate to use them again and to recommend them to others!

From quote to completion our kitchen remodel was handled with great care and professionalism.

Tal and team did a great job installing our new cabinets, countertops and full wall backsplash. The whole kitchen came out better than expected.

Would definitely recommend their company and team.

The Construction and More team including Avihoo, Joseph, our foreman Christian and the entire team especially Angel and Jesus were simply amazing.

We had a sizable renovation and were pleasantly surprised at the professionalism, workmanship, project management, budget management and every aspect of execution by the team.

We changed our flooring , renovated a bathroom and living space and the team spared no effort to get every detail right and consistently went above and beyond.

Not once did we hear or sense any kind of reluctance to meeting our many demands for adjustments, even changes.

We felt like we got our money’s worth and concluded the project without feeling exhausted with it.

Perhaps most importantly, the team acted with integrity all along and surely earned our trust and respect.

For any of my friends who need a referral, I know exactly where to go!

We had our master bathroom remodeled with Isaac as the PM and Miguel the lead contractor. We are really happy with our beautiful new bathroom and adjacent walk-in closet. Both Isaac and Miguel are very positive people and good communicators, so when the inevitable small glitches came up, we were able to work easily through them.

I recently remodeled two full bathrooms with Bay Builders. While this was a big deal to me, it is often hard to find a builder to take on less than a full house remodel or an addition. From the minute Tal came to provide an estimate through project completion, I knew Bay Builders was the right choice. Tal was a great partner through the entire project. He managed all of the processes and crews seamlessly and also provided expertise that helped me make difficult decisions along the way – including finding a carpenter who was able to craft beautiful custom vanities and a linen closet! The entire build crew was fantastic and could not have been nicer to work with. Miguel and his team are dedicated to making sure things are done right and they don’t take shortcuts which I appreciated. I can’t recommend Bay Builders (and Tal specifically) enough!

We needed a professional contractor that could accomplish our kitchen renovation project in a tight timeline because we were expecting our first baby. We felt Bay Builders would be able to do that when Tal & Shawn first came to give the quote. We were happy that we chose them. Tal, as our project manager, and Rene, as the lead foreman, were very professional & easy to work with. They always answered our questions promptly and checked on the work progress on a daily basis. Their crew was on-time, polite, and considerate knowing that we stayed in part of the house during the whole renovation. Tal also scheduled the subcontractors and their crew efficiently to make sure the project was continuously on-going. Our baby ended up delivered early, and Bay builders did the best they could so that we had at least a semi-functional kitchen when we got home from the hospital. Overall, we were very pleased with the outcome and professionalism from Bay Builders and would recommend them to others.

We recently completed a kitchen and bathroom remodel with Bay Builders, and are very happy with the results. From start to finish, working with Ido and his team was a pleasure. They brought a level of skill and attention to detail that we appreciated. Having Noa, their in-house designer, guide us through the design process made decision-making easy.

Ido was responsive, communicative, and patient throughout the whole process. He offered thoughtful suggestions and ensured everything stayed on track. The craftsmanship in both the kitchen and bathroom is excellent— everything looks beautiful and was completed on schedule.

We truly enjoyed working with Bay Builders and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and a stress-free remodeling experience. Thank you, Ido and Noa, for the light and bright transformation.

After 20 years of living in my house, I finally decided to have my kitchen remodeled. I chose Bay Builders specifically because I wanted to work with Rene again. Rene managed my previous bathroom remodels and I connected with him instantly. He has great work ethics, pays attention to details, and puts his heart into his work. He did everything he could to make my home special. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my kitchen. Such a huge improvement on look and feel of the home. Thank you Rene for everything!

I worked with Gilad and the Bay Builder team for a complete remodel. Our family is now enjoying the beautiful home they’ve built for us. They made the entire process as stress-free as possible. I would work with them again and I recommend them to my friends.

Scope of work:
It was a complete remodel. It included some structural changes, kitchen and bathrooms, flooring, windows and doors, etc.

People:
Gilad is the experienced, meticulous and responsible owner. Rene is the knowledgeable, creative, and get-things-done field manager. Eshed is the upbeat, detail-oriented, and communicative project manager.

Process:
At the project start, they submitted a detailed contract with payment milestones. I was able to track throughout the project.

Eshed worked with the designer and kept track of all the materials and design choices.

Gilad anticipated some impractical designs. We avoided much headache (and change orders) down the line.

Rene and Gilad found creative solutions when we encountered technical challenges. And they didn’t let things fall through the crack. They ensured: the roofer and stucco person build a water proof house; the cabinet maker and electrician make seamless LED-lit-shelves; the windows and screens contractors create seamless ceiling to floor view.

Rene pushed the project through the finish line. At one point we passed all but energy forms in final inspection. But the energy consultant was not responsive. Rene took it on even though it's outside of Bay Builder scope.

After project complete, we inevitably find small requests. They are responsive and follow through on the requests.

Result: attached some photos.

Large-scale remodeling (in the bay area) is complex and challenging. Even with the best contractors, the homeowner needs to be engaged and decisive. But it can be an eye-opening and invigorating learning experience. If you work with responsible builders such as Gilad and his team. Best of luck!

Bay Builders came highly recommended by our agent and turned out to be one of the best teams we have worked with.
Our project involved remodeling a fairly large kitchen area, parts of living room(s), master suite, and several other bathrooms. From the very beginning, Gilad was able to provide guidance and confidence for the process. They have worked on so many large projects, nothing would seem difficult for them to build or implement.

Communication: Eshed, our project manager, has been amazing to work with. He is so cheerful and on top of things. He would send us regular (almost daily) updates, keep track of list of materials / fixtures, what needs to be ordered, when would fixtures be delivered, etc. Every change order was clearly itemized and emailed for Docusign. We felt extremely comfortable having him take care of things.

Process: the entire process from design, to demo, to installation, and final touch-up was seamless. They are well organized and well staffed, every component of the job was arranged and planned out perfectly, it is a very tightly run and efficient business workflow. No time was wasted waiting to shuffle workers around, nothing needed to be worked on twice because someone made a mistake.

Quality of work: These guys have a high bar, and can deliver exactly what the renderings look like. Gilad is extremely detail oriented, and pushes the entire team to get all the details right.

Again, it has been a pleasure working with the team, and we can wholeheartedly recommend their service!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Bay Builders for a complete home remodel and large home addition, and we are beyond impressed with the results! From start to finish, Tom, Rene, and Gilad guided us through the permitting and construction process to make sure things were completed according to plan and ahead of schedule. The Bay Builders team not only met but exceeded our expectations at every stage of the process.

The quality of craftsmanship exhibited by Bay Builders is extremely impressive and was one of the biggest differentiators for us when viewing their past projects compared to other competitors. Every detail reflects the team's commitment to delivering top-notch quality. They worked with precision and dedication, ensuring that each element of the remodel was executed as we had envisioned.

Tom and Rene were extremely helpful in keeping us in the loop and up to date even though we were out of town for a portion of the project. This level of communication and transparency helped alleviate any concerns we had. They even made recommendations to local vendors for finished materials such as tile, fixtures, and slabs and attended the appointments with us to guide us through the selection process.

We recommend Bay Builders for any construction project you might be considering. If you're looking for a company that delivers exceptional results and genuinely cares about creating the dream house you envisioned, look no further than Bay Builders!

Our requirement was unique since we own a commercial building, so we were really looking for a contractor who had commercial experience. While I interviewed a handful of commercial-only specialists, I heard of Bay Builders through a friend, who raved about their work and customer service after they just finished their newly-remodeled home. After several meetings, we ultimately chose Bay Builders because of their professionalism, attention to detail, focus and idea generation.

From the start to the end, they were easy to work with and very communicative. They told us in the beginning that they would be flexible, and they worked with the motto that they would do whatever we needed to make us happy. We worked with Tomar, who was our dedicated project manager, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very responsive, attentive to our needs, managed his team well, and he helped us with many creative solutions. His team of people were always on time, hardworking and never cut corners. To this day, if we need advice on either a new project or to fix a current issue, Tomar and Gilad are always available to provide us with guidance and advice.

We cannot be more pleased with the results of our project. The quality of their work is impeccable. We feel as though we are lucky to have found Bay Builders. We were able to get the quality construction of a commercial contractor with the flexibility, customer service and design excellence of a residential contractor. We highly recommend Gilad, Tomar and the rest of the Bay Builders team for either commercial or residential projects.
