Tom is knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He guided us through the entire process, including when and where to purchase materials and fixtures, and kept us informed every step of the way, including scheduling and passing inspections. His crew was efficient, skilled, and pleasant to work with. They maintained a professional attitude throughout the project and delivered quality workmanship. We were so pleased with the experience that we ended up adding a few smaller projects in our kitchen as well. Their pricing was reasonable, communication was excellent, and they delivered on their commitments. Most importantly, they earned our trust through their honesty, reliability, and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Bay Home Remodeling to anyone looking for a dependable contractor for their home renovation projects.

2nd Review Addendum:…read more Miri, S&I owner, reached out to me to resolve the issues mention in the original review. She offered to discuss the issues and have workers come out to make things right. By this time, but I had encountered the issues mentioned in the first review addendum. I don't want her employees or day laborers anywhere on my property. After providing her with an advance copy of the first review addendum, Miri responded with a reimbursement offer of $3,000. I accepted the reimbursement. I still regret hiring S&I to work on my property. I recommend you do you extra due diligence before hiring them. I don't trust their high-star rating.

When I began researching companies for my home remodel, LRL was one of the companies I was excited…read moreabout. Unfortunately, after meeting with a representative to review the scope of the project, we never received any follow-up or a quote. During that time, I began receiving a series of marketing emails about why LRL would be a great company to work with, which I didn't mind while I was waiting for the estimate. However after that, I started receiving emails stating that I had chosen to move in a different direction and that I should consider them for a future project. The confusing part is that we never made that decision. we were waiting to hear back. I was genuinely interested in working with them, but it ultimately felt like the company chose not to move forward with us.

Even though this wasn't the largest remodel for their company, they treated us as if it were a million‑dollar renovation -- with care, respect, and exceptional attention to detail. Jacob was an outstanding owner to work with. He approved everything quickly, stayed flexible, and worked with us on a payment schedule that made the process smooth and stress‑free. His communication was clear, and he made sure we always felt supported throughout the remodel. From the project manager to the foreman, to the crew and subcontractors, everyone showed up ready to deliver. Jacob's team moved fast -- gutting the kitchen, updating the wiring, and completing an impressive amount of work within the first four days. The craftsmanship was excellent, and the workflow was organized and efficient. Jacob was involved with our supplier who handled all the materials, including our new cabinets and kitchen counters. They kept everything on schedule and made the selection process easy. There was no constant back‑and‑forth, no need for us to oversee every detail. The team stayed on top of the project from beginning to end, keeping the schedule tight and the quality consistently high. Even with the limited funds we had to work with, they transformed our old, dark kitchen into a bright, modern, beautifully updated space that is completely new. The results exceeded our expectations. We're truly grateful for the professionalism, consistency, and quality of work from S&L Remodeling. Jacob's leadership and his team's dedication made the entire experience exceptional. Highly recommend.

For a long time, we had been looking for a contractor to replace our kitchen countertop, fix up our…read morebathroom, and fix up an old bar area. It was hard to find the right contractor. Some had no track record. Some were pushy, like they were selling a used car. Some offered labor-only, with no help picking out materials and fixtures. Some pressed us to buy the most expensive materials available and seemed judgmental when we declined. The bids were all over the map. Some were bare bones with just a handful of line entries. Some had ridiculous, non-standard contract provisions (e.g. requiring the OWNER to insure the contractor for the work that the contractor was doing!) Then we found Gar-Cal. Angel is a professional - friendly, polite, and responsive. His proposal was easily the most detailed - everything was itemized including profit. His contract terms were actually in line with California law and industry norms. He said we could buy the materials/fixtures or he could help us identify what we wanted and he would price it out for us. He offered to introduce us to a designer, but it wasn't necessary. Angel has the experience and an excellent eye for what looks good. e.g. we had a countertop style in mind, but he suggested a different marbling because it would better match our cabinetry. Bonus: Gar-Cal just built out a showroom where you can go and look at various samples - I can't overstate how helpful it is to see the items in person. He and his team communicate often and are responsive to questions. The crew is polite, diligent, and friendly. It's always hard to live through construction, but Gar-Cal did a great job to make it as pain-free as possible. Maybe the true sign of a great contractor: Anything that needed attention, such as punch-list items, were promptly and completely addressed to our satisfaction without argument or fuss. We are very happy with the finished product and highly recommend Gar-Cal (actually, I already have...to a friend who is scheduled to meet with Angel).

He communicated clearly about what was possible and was honest when the stairs turned out to be in worse condition than first assessed. The team replaced the unsalvageable parts and stabilized the rest, and the workmanship on the parts they replaced looks solid. All-in-all there was only so much they could do given the stairs were built incorrectly and were in very bad condition, but they pulled through and got everything into a safe, workable state. Harvey was also a really nice guy to talk with. Professional, personable, and easy to work with. He kept us informed when the timeline shifted, worked efficiently, and left the area tidy when they finished.

Harvey Varga took on a whole list of things that we needed done--from building a 150-foot fence, building a sidewalk and concrete pad, rebuilding kitchen cabinets to install a dishwasher, putting in a new vent fan, fixing an improperly installed dryer vent, etc. He was very responsive to our initial request for work and had a crew with a couple of days. Each task was given detailed attention and done with perfection. His crews were efficient, competent, thoughtful, and quiet. They were respectful of us, our property, our neighbors, and our dogs, and cleaned up at the end of each day. It was a pleasure to work with Harvey Varga and his crews. We give him and them our highest recommendation particularly for someone who has a mix of small and large jobs. Tom & Virginia
