My family and I are very happy that we went with the Golden Gate Group to remodel our family home…read moreand an ADU addition. We found them because they did two of my neighbor's home in Campbell. They were very knowledgeable of the area which made working with the city very efficient. They helped me with the design to be within my budget and added their artistic & practical flair which was needed since we never went through a remodel before. Everyone they brought to my home was very respectful and they updated me throughout the whole process and there were never any surprises on what they did. My budget was tight, and I appreciated them making every decision work out for me; I can tell that they're in the business of building a home and not just a structure to add on a property. They have great vendor suggestions and if I did work with an outside vendor, they always provided me the needed information to complete my transaction. I am grateful for Masoud's professional and empathetic acumen and Mehdi's meticulous eye to detail. I am still working on landscaping ( next project) so I will update as we furnish and finish the outside!

Bringing all these elements together, to be able to perceive MY DREAM & make it a REALITY, is what The Golden Gate Group executed. I had manifested this years ago. I credit Mehdi & Masoud & their entire TEAM. I will always be thankful to them for having honored what they promised. Scope of my work I added to main floor & built an ADU. Practically, the main floor is a NEW HOME. People who came to visit us after the construction drove past my house, as they could not even imagine the outcome. BTW I had met with many contractors and when I met them, I totally connected. Listing their specialities Mehdi's Eye- One can't imagine how creative and what ideas he can come up with. Masoud- His professionalism,patience & communication. Their framing crew -is unbelievable. The electrical crew -very patient and will help you with all the queries. Their fabricators- OMG!! There is much more to write so if you want, please feel free to drive by my home. Ask them for my address. Yes I have already referred them to my neighbors and will continue to. I am across 3 schools & several parents will knock at my door & compliment .That's sums it all!! Pictures for main floor & Front of the house will be available in a month. Still to finish porch & Landscaping Pictures attached are of the ADU. Our gratitude and Thanks to entire Golden Gate Group.

We are very happy with the architectural plan Open Remodel came up with for our kitchen project…read more Open Remodel is a branch of a realty company. (They also offer realty and construction services.) We interviewed another firm before finding Open Remodel on Yelp. The other company's price estimate for architectural plans kept going up and up. It was like they were feeling us out for how much we could pay. It was a huge red flag. We are willing to pay a fair price but we don't want to be taken advantage of. The quote we received from Ashish (one of the owners of Open Remodel) was fair and in line with what we'd budgeted.  The Open Remodel architect Ashish assigned us to, Ron, was also very pleasant to work with. He not only listened to our vision but also had great suggestions, including putting a window into the kitchen.  I will be a great way to break up what would otherwise be a full wall of cabinets. We'll be able to make that area into a bar (or coffee bar)--exciting. Our project was unusual because Open Remodel finished our plans just as the pandemic was starting. We put our project on hold during shelter-in-place and for a few months after that. When we finally submitted the plans to the city, Ashish was true to his word, not charging us to revise the drawings for changes the city asked for. In fact the planning department didn't have any changes other than wanting a clause added to the plans. You are in good hands when you work with Open Remodel.

They gave great advice, were timely & respectful, offered a reasonable bid & did great work with quality Hart B wood. So, a couple years later we asked them to come back & clean + stain the deck again. This time they striped the boards with a circular sander & ruined a few boards.

From the first meeting, the team took the time to understand not just how we use the space, but also what kind of atmosphere we wanted for family dinners and evenings with friends. They proposed solutions that were modern yet warm, clean lines natural materials and lighting choices that make the space feel inviting without being overdesigned. What I really appreciated was their attention to detail. Things like flow between the kitchen and dining area, sightlines to the garden and even how the furniture would interact with the architecture, all of it was considered. Communication was excellent throughout: clear updates, quick responses and they navigated the city requirements smoothly so I didn't have to. The result feels both stylish and deeply livable. Hosting dinners now feels effortless, the layout encourages conversation and the finishes add just the right amount of elegance. If you care about design that balances beauty with functionality, this team delivers. They're not just designing a house, they're designing a home.
