Some comments (too long) on our recommendation of Bayside Builders group based on repair and renovation work that they did over the past couple months. We live in a nearly 100-year-old East Bay house, which needed some TLC. Bayside Builders Group did the following work for us: mold remediation; wood flooring repairs; floor refinishing; dry-rot related structural repairs; new-construction replacement of two living room windows; exterior stucco repairs; interior drywall/plaster repairs; and re-painting the entire house exterior. We were very pleased with the efficiency and quality of all of the work that was performed (all permitted (as needed)), beginning with our initial contacts with Eldar and Tal (our project managers with Bayside) and continuing with the work done by Mattias and his crew. We won't comment on each portion of the work performed, but we'll mention a few things that we were particularly pleased with. First, we realized we probably had a long-term leak in on corner of our living room. Our initial contacts with Bayside were with Eldar and Tal, who were among a number contractors we considered. We selected Bayside for several reasons. We liked the analytical, stepwise approach suggested by Eldar and Tal (first to address the mold which would then allow us deduce the origin of the leak). We liked that they would be a one-stop shop, therefore able to address new problems that we might encounter as the work progressed, and we liked that they were able to (and did) start the work relatively soon. It turned out that one window had likely been leaking for years, and we decided to replace both of the old living room wondows. Second, when beginning the window replacements, it became clear that the dry-rot situation below the bad window went down to the foundation sill, which required fairly major structural repairs to proceed. It was great that Eldar, Tal and Mattias were able to pivot fairly quickly to address these repairs! The quality of the window replacements were excellent ... the exterior trim work, the interior moulding work, the stucco repairs, and the interior drywall repairs were great. In particular, the crew did an amazing job of texturing the drywall to match the surrounding texture of the older existing paster, as well as an amazing job of interior painting of the repairs. I should mention that the crew completely covered the wood flooring to preclude any damage to the floors. Third, with all of the exterior work done, we decided that now wood be the time to paint the entire exterior and to replace our old gutters. The Bayside crew did a great paint job, beginning with a large prep effort to repair cracks in the old stucco and to carefully caulk as needed. Then a coat of Killz2 primer and 2 coats of high quality (sherlock) final paint. At one point, during house prep and priming, I think there might have been 5-6 Bayside crew working on the paint job! Fourth, all of this work is necessarily somewhat disruptive. Can't be avoided. That said, we were happy that Eldar, Tal and Mattias were able to schedule the work efficiently, such that when a particular portion of the work started, it kept going until completion. We didn't experience the on/off job work that we had sometimes encountered in previous repair/construction work with others. Lastly, my only other general advice, regardless of what contractor is chosen, would be to find out as much as you can, as early as possible, about the permitting requirements of your particular municipality, so that everyone (customer, contractor, permitting agency) is on the same page. Again, we were very pleased with our experiences with Bayside, and we would choose them again, in our case, especially if we need any further window or painting work. read more

Great overall experience with Bayside Builders. As many have mentioned they are not the lowest cost option but neither were they the most expensive. After receiving several bids for replacement of my exterior staircase, which had begun to deteriorate and become unsafe, I ultimately chose Bayside due to the initial great communication, vast knowledge, and perceived track record. Met first with Jacob who was a great knowledgeable patient guy, who provided answers to all my excessive questions. He was quick to respond and come out to review the project details. He walked me through all the options to ensure I was comfortable with my selection. Overall he was a great guy and sold me on moving forward. Once work was scheduled, he ensured I would be in good hands with team executing the work. Work was done quickly and efficiently. The only item that could've been better was if there was proactive communication at the different phases of the project. The workers were almost on autopilot as they have done these type of jobs countless of times but I was looking for a bit more eager hand holding and visibility at commencement/end of the different milestones. I only got this when I would reach out to Jacob who then connected me with project foreman. I attempted to give the foreman my number for easier communication but instead he used the home office to route messages to me. Unfortunately this caused issues to be remedied retroactively. Issues that could've been avoided, instead added a little extra time to the completion but were still later resolved or left in a better state. Ultimately, this did not take away from the quality and efficiency of the work. They assured me that if any issues were to arise afterwards, I could call them any time so that they could provide insight and/or remedy. The whole process seemed very professional from the documentation provided (contract, licenses, insurance, etc.) to the solicitation of feedback on my satisfaction of the project. I would definitely reach out to them for future home improvement projects as according to them, "They do it all!" I definitely feel my new exterior staircase is safe to traverse and of better quality that will hopefully last for many years. read more

We recently completed a master bathroom remodel in Alameda, and we are extremely happy with the results thanks to Nicko and Gilberto. They transformed our old bathtub area into a beautiful walk-in shower and completely updated the bathroom with large format porcelain tile, a floating shower bench, recessed niche, linear drain, and a modern bidet toilet. From the beginning, they were very responsive, professional, and patient with all my questions. I asked many detailed questions throughout the project, and they always took the time to explain the process, materials, and installation steps. The tile installation and craftsmanship are excellent. The large wall tiles are perfectly aligned, grout lines are clean and consistent, and the details around the bench, niche, window, and shower floor mosaic were installed with great precision. You can really tell they care about the quality of their work. They also handled important technical details such as waterproofing, shower slope, electrical outlet installation for the smart toilet, and overall bathroom layout, making sure everything was done correctly. All city inspections done with no issues. The finished bathroom now feels like a modern spa -- bright, clean, elegant, and very relaxing. The combination of the marble-look porcelain tile, mosaic shower floor, and lighting created a space that looks both luxury and timeless. If you are looking for a bathroom remodeling contractor in Alameda or the East Bay, I highly recommend Nicko and Gilberto. We are very happy with the final result and the professionalism they showed throughout the entire project. Thank you again for the great work! read more

We hired Bayside Builders Group (BBG, for short) to rebuild our front deck, make some repairs in the back deck, do maintenance of the porch, repaint the entrance door and install new weatherstrips in that door. The contract was prepared by Shai Drihem who explained to us the details of what they were proposing and promising to do. Most of the work was done by Isaias and Tony (with the help of a few others on several occasions) who were skillfully directed and supervised by Rodrigo Matias (and also by Eric Rodriguez). Unfortunately, the redwood posts and boards which BBG got from Ashby Lumber had too many knots spoiling the appearance of the deck, although BBG apparently had no control over that. The crew worked very efficiently and completed the main part of the project ahead of schedule. We were especially impressed by the versatile skills of Isaias, Tony and Rodrigo Matias, and their excellent job on building the deck frame. The only thing that we were initially unhappy about was the finishing of the redwood railing (and, especially, of the handrails). Nevertheless, they were very responsive to our critical remarks and returned several times to make the necessary corrections to our complete satisfaction. Overall, our rating of the entire job done by BBG on our project is four and a half stars. read more

After interviewing three other companies for our second-story deck construction project we decided to move forward with Jacob (Project Mgr.) at Bayside Builders group. From the architectural design and engineering requirements we knew from the beginning that this was not going to be an ordinary deck project. The deck height exceeded two stories. The deck super structure required heavy duty construction materials that could safely support the added height and weight requirements, but Jacob and his team were up to the task. Jacob, Mattias his foremen and the entire Bayside team were there with us through the design permitting and construction phase. We replaced windows with doors which required stucco and interior sheetrock finishing and painting. Jacob was instrumental in making sure we utilized the best materials and skilled crew. He hooked us up with suppliers that could offer bulk pricing on decking, glass railings, doors, and other materials. Jacob personally made sure that we were 100% satisfied with the finished product as designed and as quoted with zero cost overruns, No Surprises!! The finished deck is an engineering marvel; our grandchildren love the newly created outdoor space while we sit and enjoy the views of SF Bay. read more

I started my bathroom/kitchen renovation with trepidation and FEAR! I knew that my house would be In disarray for several weeks, and I had some trust issues with contractors from the past coming into this project! Most importantly, this would be a huge financial commitment! After conferring with my family and meeting with Shai, the time was now! The team consisted of Eric (Project Manager), talented and dedicated sub-contractors, Roberto (Lead), Alama, and Juan. Were there slight hiccups along the way? Of course, but did we manage to work them out? ABSOLUTELY! The result was a fantastic downstairs bathroom (new floors, vanity, mirror, and paint), and my kitchen is my " little piece of heaven on earth!" Thanks, Roberto, for collaborating with me on the cabinets! The result was priceless! Your passion for what you do renders me speechless! Alma, your attention to detail, positive attitude, and commitment did not go unnoticed! Juan, thanks for all your hard work! Your professionalism and punctuality were quite impressive! Santos, job well done on my countertops! Eric, thanks for being accessible, patient, and flexible! We did it! read more

We recently hired Bayside Builders to remodel our backyard and patio space, as well as to rebuild a large portion of our fence -- and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, Nick, Omri, and team were friendly, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took the time to walk us through each phase of the project, making sure our vision was understood and executed perfectly. Their communication was top-notch -- we always knew what was happening, what the next steps were, and they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Our new patio and backyard feel like a true extension of our home, and the new fence not only looks great but also feels strong and built to last. They didn't cut corners, and it shows. What really stood out was how genuinely kind and respectful the whole crew was. It felt like we were working with people who cared about both the quality of their work and the satisfaction of their clients. If you're looking for a contractor who is reliable, communicative, and takes pride in their work -- Bayside Builders is it. Highly recommend! read more

I was profoundly satisfied with the recent landscaping work completed on my front lawn. The transformation is truly remarkable, and the quality of craftsmanship is evident in every detail. A special commendation goes to Omri, whose outstanding professionalism and exceptional customer service truly set Bayside Builders apart. His diligent approach to client communication was particularly impressive. He consistently provided daily updates regarding the project's status, especially when unforeseen weather conditions caused delays. This proactive transparency was incredibly reassuring and allowed me to feel fully informed and confident throughout the entire process. It's rare to encounter such a high level of attentiveness, and it significantly enhanced my experience.

When I decided to remodel my bathroom I was nervous about the process, but Bayside Builders Group and Nick as the project manager made it a really smooth experience. Nick came by early on to understand how I wanted to use the space, not just how I wanted it to look, and he offered suggestions I never would have thought of that made a huge difference in the design. Throughout the project he kept in close contact, letting me know exactly what was happening each week, and I never once felt left in the dark. The crew was respectful of my home, kept the work area clean, and you could see the pride they put into their craft in the way the tiles were laid out and the finishes were handled. By the time the project wrapped up, I felt like the bathroom had been truly customized for me. It now feels like a private spa, with beautiful fixtures, a smart layout, and lighting that makes the whole room glow. We will recommend this company and Nick in particular to friends and family ! read more

We had Bayside Builders Group remodel our kitchen, and overall it turned out great. Avi, our project manager, was helpful and really guided us through most of the decisions. The team worked hard and most of the details came out really well, though there were a couple of small things that needed minor adjustments afterward. Our old kitchen felt cramped and outdated, but now it feels much more open and brighter. The cabinets and countertops fit nicely, and the backsplash really finishes the look. What we appreciated most was that the crew communicated clearly most of the time and handled any questions quickly. They were careful in our home and mostly left the space clean each day. Cooking and spending time in the kitchen is much more enjoyable now, and even with a few small hiccups, we feel the remodel was worth it. Bayside Builders Group is skilled, professional, and genuinely cares about their clients, and we are happy with how our new kitchen turned out. read more

The amount of care everyone has put into our home is outstanding- and for an unbeatable price. Their recommendations were given to us fairly, with no upselling, but rather based on their years of experience. Thank you Bayside, for everything you have done for my family and our home, you have truly earned a customer for life! My new bathroom is gorgeous, my foundation is as solid as a rock, and my electrical is now up to code. You have truly turned our house into a home; I cannot be more grateful. Here's to the wonderful years to come, and Bayside will remain on speed-dial for any future projects, as well as recommendations to anyone who will listen. I have been absolutely blown away- thank you! read more

Nick and Omri were a dream to work with. My husband and I wanted to renovate our small backyard space for some time now so that our children had a more functional, safe place to play and for us to host. They completely blew us away with their service throughout the job. It took them a total of 3.5-4 weeks to complete, which included full demo, concrete, pavers, astroturf, stepping stones, fence demo and extension, new drainage, and electrical routing. They completely addressed our concerns with our space and made it beautiful and functional. Financing wise they offered us many options to get the job done and we are so thrilled to have worked with them, and we can't wait to work with them again on future remodels in our home. Thank you Nick and Omri for the wonderful experience with Bayside Builders. read more

They recently remodeled my kitchen in San Jose, and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. A special thank you to Odi, the project manager, who made everything run so smoothly.

Contracted workers were outstanding! Quality and precision of their work is the best my wife and I have ever seen. Contractor is a large company with many projects going at once. This made it difficult to contact the supervisor at the first level sometimes and he was only on site part of the time given his responsibilities for supervising other sites at the same time, but the on site workers knew what they were doing and didn't need much supervision. These guys were professional and terrific! Second level supervisor above the first was always available by phone and kept the project on target and on time. The managers chose their workers well! Price was reasonable given this market. Company owner came to the site to review the work at completion - good top-level management. . read more

I started with one project with Bayside Builders and ended up doing several more because their work is incredible. So far they have replaced my roof, rewired the electrical and completed mold remediation. Now they are building an ADU & remodeling my kitchen. I couldn't be happier! Our project manager, Nick, made the entire process so easy & seamless. From start to finish, he has handled everything so efficiently and professionally. Nick is also friendly, super organized, communicates clearly, and always makes sure things run smoothly. The crews are fast, skilled, respectful, and leave the place clean every time. It's rare to find service like this these days--reliable, high-quality, and stress-free. I've recommended them to friends and will definitely keep using them myself! read more

The pool deck turned out better than expected. From the beginning, communication was clear and consistent, so we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. The team was professional, showing up on time and staying organized throughout the project. A few challenges came up along the way, like adjusting the layout to fit the space perfectly, but they handled everything smoothly and offered smart solutions that actually improved the final design. Watching the deck take shape day by day was impressive, and the attention to detail really shows in the finished product. It's now not only a beautiful space to relax and entertain but also feels solid and well-built. Every part of the process felt thoughtful, and the end result makes the backyard feel complete and inviting. read more
