We bought a new house last year that needed a lot of work. We really wanted an open concept in the kitchen/living room area but had no idea how much work that would involve. We met with more contractors than I care to admit. Most of them told us we couldn't do it with our budget or we would have to compromise on this or that. I was starting to doubt we could make it happen but then I met Jose. He not only said he could do everything we wanted but he also made several great suggestions on how we could save money including cabinets. The pandemic really screwed things up as far as timing and delayed our project several months. Jose made sure we had everything ready to go and prioritized our project to get it done as soon as possible once we finally received our permit. It was crazy how fast things moved after that. Jose and his team worked daily, sometimes late into the evening to make sure we got our project done by our targeted move-in date. There were some surprises a long the way and we also made a number of last minute decisions including asking Jose to install flooring throughout the entire first floor. Jose and his team took all of these things in stride and the results exceeded our every expectation! In the end we have the kitchen of our dreams with a wide open concept, new electric throughout the house, a brand new office where no office existed before, beautiful hardwood flooring and so much more. It's a brand new house! It was a long journey, but we really got to know Jose and his team, their work ethic, communication, flexibility and positive attitude. I fully expect to rehire Gonzalez Construction for future projects and I would never recommend another contractor to friends and family. Simply the best! read more

I have hired Gonzalez Construction twice, and the outcome for both contracts were phenomenal! The first time I hired Jose was for a full bathroom remodel on a 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom condo. I had a really tight schedule to get this done and Jose made possible to get that bathroom remodeled on time, and the end-result was as I envisioned. The second time I hired Jose was for another full bathroom remodel on a house, and it was an even better experience to have worked with Jose. After that, we ended adding another multi-project to remodel a fireplace and build cabinets and floating shelves in our living room; replace wooden floors that needed work done; and add herringbone style tile floor to our kitchen. It really is a pleasure to work with someone who understands the world of construction, and who is excellent at communicating every step of the way with the client. Jose and his team are very honest and professional men; and every person involved in the contract is respectful of the property. It is hard to find someone you can trust your home to, and I always say I trust Jose with my home 100%. He pays attention to ALL the details, delivers great craftsmanship, and his priority is to make the client happy. I recommend Gonzalez Construction for any construction project because this company delivers quality, honesty, excellent communication, fair price, clean work, respect, and professionalism. read more

Jose has been absolutely wonderful. I really cannot say enough as to how well our kitchen renovation has gone with him. Initially, we planned to just swap out our cabinets and take tackle our reno one step at a time, but after meeting with Jose we felt more than comfortable letting him do the whole job all at once. What a good thing that we went this route! I had already purchased cabinets and was expecting them about a month out from when we first met, so we were able to get a timeline and cost breakdown well in advance. The whole way through the process Jose has been responsive and very patient. Before demo even began, he was able to give input on the countertop selection when we were at the yard, as well as letting me know what other items to purchase for backsplash and other parts of the renovation. When one of the cabinets didn't arrive with the initial shipment, Jose was more than understanding. We started a few days after our initially planned start date, and within about three weeks had a brand new kitchen. His whole team was really great to work with. Our kitchen is on the smaller side, so his two guys got all our old cabinets demoed and all the new ones up in about day. They really moved quickly. They also tried as much as possible to keep the area clean, which, in a 1000 sq ft, 1 bedroom condo, does have its challenges. Jose would be on site during a few handful of days to check the progress and answer any questions that we had. I really cannot say enough about how readily available he was for any question or input that we had. I feel like other contractors could have delayed responses or not remembered details, but he really impressed us with his dedication to our project. I've definitely already recommended Gonzalez Construction and will definitely have them back (if they'll have us!) for future projects. read more

I was very disappointed to never get a text back he did her measurements. If he wanted us to look the cabinets, In order for him to send us estimates but he never responded. Please note we may have looked like we could not afford it due to the way the house looks now. So maybe it was a judgment call on his part. Regardless it's is now under construction. But an other contractor. read more

We had Jose and his crew in our home for two months doing a major kitchen renovation (took down a load-bearing wall, down to the studs) and I can seriously say I only have POSITIVE things to say about our time with Gonzalez Construction. Things I appreciated: 1) Honesty. Jose is an honest man and his integrity is why we hired him. His foreman, his subcontractors...he has hand selected a team that carries his values. 2) Cleanliness. Every day they cleaned up before they went home! Our friends that came over would be in shock... apparently this is rare. This minimized the dust and was so helpful because we have a swim school on our property and have many people coming and going every day. They took the time to put up a zipper wall between our kitchen and living room which was incredibly helpful! 3) Quality Work. We have a stunning kitchen with custom cabinets, quartz countertops, hexagon tile floors and high-end appliances. Our home is from 1940 with intricate plaster medallion ceiling work, and nearly 7" of crown moulding... this didn't intimidate Jose and I'm so grateful. Everyone that comes over asks for his card... I'm going to need a stack because the work speaks for itself. 4) Low Overhead. I knew what I wanted in design and finishes, so I didn't need an in-house designer or fancy showroom. We got quotes from other construction companies and their bids were higher because of these unneeded luxuries. Jose's pricing was fair and he clearly communicated what we could expect. Anytime you tackle a major construction project there are going to be snags or delays. It's life. What you need is a problem-solver and enjoyable partner in the process. I would hire Gonzalez for any future project, I'm already scheming about what it might be! I'll upload photos soon to show how gorgeous it all turned out! read more

We hired Jose to complete a full kitchen remodel. Overall, it has been the greatest experience that we've had with someone doing work on our house. Jose is amazingly super easy to work with. He understands the magnitude of the project and the decisions involved and was always very patient. During the quote process, Jose came to our house multiple times as we worked to iron out the details and he always worked with our schedule. One of the things we really appreciated about Jose was communication. Even after he was hired to complete the project, Jose was always a call a way. Didn't matter what time of day, Jose always answered the phone and immediately replied to text messages. During the project, Jose and his team treated our house better than if it was their own. Day one, they started covering laminate flooring that was not part of the project, putting up plastic walls between kitchen and living-room to contain dust, really paying close attention not to disturb the areas that were not part of the project. Everyday, they would clean up before going home. On Fridays they would take off the ram board protecting the laminate flooring in the living room and reinstall on Monday when they showed up. Jose's staff and subs were always very professional and respectful. There was never any issues with them being alone in our house. The quality of work was outstanding. The team is very knowledgeable about the work they do and are true professionals. They make everything look so easy and everyone in his team pays attention to detail. Focusing on details from the finishing touches... to the quality of the prep work that no one ever sees after completion of the project but is a crucial step. Overall, we are very satisfied with Gonzalez Construction; we would highly recommend and are looking forward to having Jose back for future projects. read more

Don't be fooled by the few reviews Gonzalez Construction has. Searching for a contractor for our kitchen remodel and going over many different companies Yelp pages and getting a few bids as well, nothing felt right. I then found Jose of Gonzalez Construction on Yelp and for some reason Something felt right and went ahead and contacted him for a quote. We are so glad we did! We had a great talk and the bid was in line with the others. Jose and crew did an amazing job on our kitchen! Completed in record time and attention to detail was spot on. Jose is an even keel guy. Super mellow and great communication. We will be using Gonzalez Construction for a couple other projects around the house in the near future. Don't be fooled by the few reviews, Jose is your guy. read more

Jose and his team are extremely hard working, detail oriented, and provide quality work. We recently had Gonzalez construction demolish our garage, and replace it with a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom ADU, renovate our 1939 home with new electrical, plumbing, floors, walls, stucco, windows, etc. Every day neighbors stop us to comment how great our home looks. Jose was a great communicator, easy to reach and always doing his best to meet our needs. He would always tell us our options for cost and helped us to stay in our budget throughout the project. Jose stuck to the contract and we always knew what to expect for each invoice. The tilework in our bathrooms is one of my favorite parts of our new home. We also wanted it to maintain the character it had before and we feel like we got exactly that, our old home looks new again, but not different. By the end of the project Jose and his team felt like part of our family. They were honest, trustworthy, good people. We got quotes from at least 15 different contractors and design & build firms. Jose was the most reasonable and never came across like a sales person. Just a source of knowledge and information. He passed every inspection with the city seamlessly and can proudly share that he has never once failed an inspection. We never had issues with the city because Jose did quality work and met all their expectations. He was great to work with. read more

We were looking to have our fence built so we put it out for bid. I have worked with Gonzalez Construction before with my other company. They built us a kiosk cart at the mall. They got it done in half the time other companies were quoting! I figured I would have them bid out the fence for my house. The other fence companies came by and looked at what we needed, but when it came to the bids, it dragged on for weeks and we had to call them.....Gonzalez Construction was quick to come by and produce an actual bid within a couple days. Jose is very professional and had great insight into what we were looking to create. After we accepted their bid, which was way more reasonable then the other companies, they showed up promptly and got it done! The result was wonderful and any concerns we had were answered right away. He made sure we were 100% satisfied. The Fence and gates look amazing, all our friends and neighbors love it. read more
