I want to start off by saying that I would immediately hire BayBuilders of San Jose again! This is…read moremy 4th contractor as a homeowner, so I've been through a few. Although my husband had contact with the owners, most of my interactions were with Cesar. He was incredibly patient, professional, and down to Earth. When we had questions/ideas/dreams, Cesar would help us through the options and their costs. This was a guest bathroom remodel after the previous contractor's work led to leaks and black mold in the bathroom/hallway. So you can say I was traumatized and not ready to trust. Cesar communicated often, and introduced us to the subcontractors/specialists. This transparency easily led to trust. We love our finished bathroom, I just wish I would have taken pictures before the teens moved back in :) There were no surprises from quote to finished price.

I've used Payman and Bay Area Design and Construction for two big projects now, and I honestly…read morewouldn't go anywhere else. They first rebuilt my San Jose home back in 2017. The work was excellent, but what really impressed me was the follow-up. A year later, Payman sent his crew back just to handle the little adjustments that come with a house settling. Even years later, he's still helpful whenever I need to get in touch with one of his subcontractors for maintenance. Because of that trust, I hired him again last year for a major remodel of my vacation home, and he didn't disappoint me as always. Payman is easily the most responsive contractor I've worked with, he gets back to every email within 24 hours, no matter how complex the issue is. His project management is top-tier. The crew is respectful and polite, and they actually finished the job ahead of schedule. It's rare to find a contractor who is this efficient and actually stands by their work long-term. Highly recommended.

From the very beginning they were professional responsive and transparent about the design and construction project. Payman took the time to explain different design options in detail--outlining clear timelines, estimated costs, and how each plan would fit my goals and budget. His approach was thoughtful and collaborative, ensuring that every design decision made sense for my home's layout and potential. Throughout the process, communication was excellent. Payman and his team kept me updated on city approvals, vendor coordination, and project timelines. They were patient in answering all my questions and flexible with revisions as the design evolved. I truly appreciated their honesty, attention to detail, and commitment to quality. It's clear that Bay Area Design and Construction takes great pride in their workmanship and client satisfaction. I would highly recommend Payman to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy design and construction team in the Bay Area.

We worked with EDR to completely remodel a duplex into a single family home that hadn't been…read moretouched in 60 years. Eddie and Sarmad did a fantastic job in delivering the project. From the start of the design project, they used high quality sub contractors for design, engineering, and all the trades in the house. Fernando, our project manager was incredible. He approached the project with a keen eye for details and took total ownership over the sub contractors. He would stop by almost every night to ensure that the subs were performing their work and not leaving or damaging any other contractors' work. Sarmad is a problem solver. He sees an issue and thinks through how to solve it, then presents clear options to choose from. Throughout the process, we were not surprised by unanticipated expenses - all changes were clearly explained and we had the option to make changes via clear change orders. EDR uses Buildertrend for all program management and billing, which made payments, change approvals, and scheduling tracking seamless. While this sounds like a basic requirement in 2026, not all contractors use these services which just adds friction to the process. We couldn't recommend EDR more for the quality of work on our house, the schedule execution, care for detail, and just taking care of our project. Along the way, we never felt nickel & dimed, and the value of their services definitely exceeded our expectations.

We didn't end up hiring Eddie, Sarmad and the EDR crew but based on the quality of their work and…read moretheir honest and straightforward professionalism, we would definitely consider working with them in the future. We visited a gorgeous property they remodeled and it was designed impeccably and the quality of work also looked very good. It was also clear how much the owners loved Eddie and Sarmad and let us spend a long time visiting their home. We're grateful to Eddie and Sarmad for their patience with us as doing a first time ground up build is a huge investment for us and we had a lot of questions and concerns. They also went above and beyond their normal bid process when we asked for a more detailed bid for our budgeting purposes. Highly recommend reaching out to EDR!

Since our project and budget was so small compared to major corporate projects and what we are doing is so unique, I knew that we needed a professional who could be creative, judicious, and who would care about the details.

Roni has impeccable taste, the ability to create a special and inviting space, and RH design & Construction completes the work meticulously and in a timely manner. Roni and her team are communicative, they take healthy pride in producing exceptional work, and I would absolutely be a repeat client.

We hired Parviz for a complete garage renovation and couldn't be happier. We did a full "studs-out"…read moredemo, added epoxy floors, custom cabinets, and even a new garage door and attic storage. Our garage used to be a drafty "black hole," but now it's a high-end multi-purpose space. I use it as my daily office, we have our Peloton set up, and most importantly, it's a clean space for our 2-year-old to play floor hockey. Parviz was our main point of contact and was incredibly responsive. He handled the hiccups with the sub-vendors professionally and ensured we always knew the timeline for the plumbing and electrical work. He even threw in some upgraded motion lights outside! Highly recommend his services for any San Jose homeowners looking to add real value to their home.

I was incredibly impressed Baystar Garage. The owner, Parviz, provided excellent communication,…read morecompetence, and coordination throughout the surprisingly short project. It took less than one month for his team to turn my drab, uncomfortable garage into a beautifully bright sanctuary that is always the perfect temperature. My main goals were to make the garage more comfortable for my home gym, and improve aesthetics and storage options while we were at it. Baystar Garage knocked all of those goals out of the park, and it was such a breath of fresh air to have Parviz coordinating all of the details in a timely manner, as well as giving well thought out opinions on more subjective aspects. Having worked with other contractors in the past, I can safely say they are not all such a joy to work with, and I would highly recommend Baystar Garage to anyone looking to renovate this oft-neglected extension of the home. The only issues I had during this project were with the partner cabinet company, Prizmawood, which didn't meet the same lofty bar as the rest of the construction work; they had a separate contract that cost more than I feel it should, and their communication was much less consistent than Parviz's, leading to some flaws I had to follow up on to mitigate afterwards. But since this review is for Baystar Garage, it fully deserves the full 5 stars and I would definitely trust Parviz with any house projects in the future. (As for Prizmawood, it was still overall a good experience, and I rated it 4 stars in a separate review.) (Note: I included some before pictures to show the difference!)

We hired NuHome Remodeling for our house remodeling which started with addition and 3 bath room…read moreremodel, but ended up with pretty much full house remodel including the full kitchen remodeling as well. The project managers that we had worked with were Tony, Issac and Amit. The experiences that we had with the team were exceptional, Tony and his team leads were very professional, patient, attentive to details, and transparent to the cost. They were excellent in communications and never delay responding to our messages, usually within a few minutes or within hours for any questions that we ask at any time of the day. In terms of services, they are like one stop shop that includes almost everything that we need from a contractor for remodeling so it really saved a lot of our time from talking with different people for different phases of the remodel. Their team has the architect who started with the floor plan with us, with a lot of back and forth discussions and our inputs taken into considerations. After we agreed and finalized the plan, they submitted it to the city for the permit. Since the architects and the construction team are under the same leadership of NuHome, in our case, Tony, this saves a lot of later potential integration problems between the architectural plans and the executions of the construction. During the construction, there were a few times that we changed our plans, for example, changing the size of the closet and pantry, Tony and the team were accommodating it; and in the middle of the construction, we were also changing the type and the number of outlets and the spot lights, Tony and the team were also incorporated that as well. We also had changed the plan for the TV ascent wall, and the team were fully in corporation and working with for the change, which turned out to be beautiful. Another area that really pleased and benefit us was NuHome has excellent interior designer who had worked with us closely in designing the bathrooms, and helping us picking up the right materials that worked perfectly for us, this saved us so much potential headache as we pretty much knew nothing in this field. The three bathroom designs turned out beautifully and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely attribute this to the team deep dedication of putting customers' need first, in addition to the construction team's skill set. The team has made sure to take care of our need from the very beginning to the end of the project, for little things like making sure we have the new lock after the whole project is done is even within their considerations, so we are moving into our new home feeling happy, comfortable and safe. Thanks so much to the team for their excellent work, and we are definitely going to recommend NuHome Remodeling.

Tony was great in overseeing the whole project while Amit was on top of day-to-day progress. Highly professional!

NuHome's flexibility (even creativity) in working around these delays got the job done. Great service!

From the very beginning, Ilay stood out because of how quickly he responded, how knowledgeable he was, and how reasonable and transparent the pricing felt compared to others we spoke with. One thing we really appreciated was how flexible the team was with the way we wanted to manage the project. We wanted to source and supply many of our own materials, and they were completely accommodating and collaborative throughout the process. Our original timeline was January through May, but the project was actually completed in April, which honestly exceeded our expectations. The team showed up every single day and kept things moving at an impressive pace without sacrificing quality. Ilay was incredibly communicative throughout the entire renovation. Even during stressful moments when we were pressed on timing, he constantly kept us updated and reassured us that everything was on track. That level of responsiveness and consistency made a huge difference for us. We also want to give a shoutout to July and the rest of the team for helping us navigate city processes and permitting. They were proactive in following up and helped us get prompt responses, which really helped keep momentum going. Overall, the quality of work and speed of execution were amazing. Everyone we interacted with on the crew was friendly, respectful, and hardworking. Renovations can be overwhelming, but this team made the experience feel organized and manageable from start to finish. Highly recommend Ilay and the entire team. Thank you so much ON Design & Remodeling Team!

We did a full remodel of a 1971 condo, and iLay listened carefully, understood our goals, and delivered beyond anything we imagined. He not only answered every question we had, but also anticipated the questions we didn't yet know to ask--and then answered those too. Initially, we were just hoping to fix the place up enough to sell in a couple of years. iLay said (and I quote), "We'll make it so beautiful that you'll want to live here." He absolutely came through. The transformation was remarkable, and yes--my husband and I have decided to stay. What began with a lot of sighs turned into smiles, all along the way sprinkled with gratitude. We are so grateful we chose ON Design & Remodeling and had the privilege of working with iLay. I would highly recommend this general contractor--and especially iLay--to anyone considering a remodel.

Some highlights I'd call out are they have great subcontractors and technicians. The tiling, paint job, electrical... everything was fantastic, and everyone was super easy to work with. We've always had communications / language barriers when working with workers in the past, so it was nice to be able to answer questions or give feedback directly onsite without having to wait for Umid to jump in. I also found Cotfort trustworthy and reasonable. For one, I decided to try an online-only tile company which led to terrible delays to the project (my fault there), and they were patient with reschedules though I know it caused them headaches. They also stepped in to make things right, without hesitation, when their countertop fabricator accidentally installed the wrong floor curb on the shower. Another sign of trustworthiness: I asked them to come back after the work was done to change out one of the accessories in the bathroom... they really had no obligation to but they did anyway. There were definitely some hiccups, like in all projects, but it helped a lot that they were responsive, flexible, and communicative. I never felt like they were trying to nickel and dime us or recommend something outside of our interests.
