    We bought a house in Pleasanton that was a perfect location for our family, but the inside needed quite a bit of work. The projects included re-wiring the entire house, remodeling a guest bathroom, completely remodeling the kitchen, removing a wall, redoing flooring, drywall, insulation, and updating the laundry room. After interviewing 6+ contractors we decided on Inspired Builders and are extremely happy with our decision. Our project manager Eden was with us from the very first meeting and was instrumental to making sure the entire process went smoothly. Eden was very responsive & professional, explain (and followed through on) the company's remodeling process which included a designer, 3D renderings, help with materials, tight timelines, and a 'no surprise' promise. We purchased our house in the summer and wanted to move quickly to be able to finish the remodel before the holidays and Inspired Builders got it done for us. They did pre-signing meetings with us, handled all the permits, met us to finalize the design and materials, and communicated an appropriate amount during the entire process. We chose to move out of our house for 2 months so this communication was very welcomed. They were very reasonable with the minor changes we requested mid-build, and kept their promise to not charge me extra for any surprises that we encountered during demolition/construction. Even the crew literally working and painting our house was very friendly, clean, and helped us with questions when we would occasionally visit. The final results look incredible and all of our family is amazed to see the transformation. My wife says she feels like we are living in "one of those houses from a magazine". We intend to hire them to finish the rest of the house when we are ready.

    We had a great experience working with Adam as the project manager on our kitchen remodel. From the very beginning, Adam was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. He guided us through every step of the process, from planning and design to execution, making sure everything stayed on track and within budget. What really stood out was his attention to detail and communication. He was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and make sure we felt comfortable with every decision. The team was organized, efficient, and delivered high-quality workmanship. The final result exceeded our expectations our kitchen looks amazing. Our goal was to increase cabinet and counterspace in a kitchen that couldn't be expanded. That goal was achieved! Highly recommend Adam and his team for anyone looking to do a kitchen remodel.

    Great execution of this project with superb quality and at great price point. Adam, my project manager was there to solve any issues as the project moved along for a timely delivery.

    TLDR: Hired Inspired Builders (Adam was our PM) for a big renovation: kitchen cabinet resurfacing, full master bath remodel, whole-house recessed lighting, and a subpanel replacement with patchwork. Interviewed six contractors and we are so glad we chose them! Adam was responsive, organized, and super flexible, even when city permits caused delays. He adjusted the timeline to keep things moving and made sure the house was spotless before our baby shower/housewarming, which says a lot about how much he cares. Their team handled everything from design help (shoutout to Nicole, who spent a day picking finishes with us) to execution. The bathroom feels like a spa now--wider door, new tile, double vanity, and the cool little shadow box for toiletries. The kitchen cabinets look amazing, and they even painted the inside for free. The recessed lighting (30+ cans!) completely changed the vibe of the house. We went from relying on lamps to a bright, modern feel in every room. They flagged our outdated subpanel early and replaced it quickly with minimal disruption. Everything's labeled, clean, and future-ready. We had a toddler, a dog, and a pregnant wife at home, so we really appreciated how respectful and tidy the crew was. Daily cleanups, careful with materials, and responsive to our feedback. Minor hiccups here and there (mostly scheduling), but Adam always made it right. He even came back weeks later to finish a few punch-list items after things were delivered. The work speaks for itself and we get constant compliments. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and genuinely great team, go with Inspired Builders. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat. (And yep--before & after pics are a must!)

    We hired Inspired Builders for 2 separate projects: - Full home remodel: 3 bd/2ba - panel upgrade, sub panel, wiring, flooring, kitchen, fireplace tear down, bathrooms, patio door addition, resize master bathroom, interior paint, drywall work, tar & gravel roof repair, dry rot repair. - Garage remodel & exterior home paint 1) Full home remodel - 5/5 We are absolutely thrilled with our full home remodel completed by Inspired Builders, and we cannot recommend their services enough for large, full remodel projects. After interviewing seven contractors, we selected Inspired Builders based on their impressive project portfolio, experience, and, most importantly, Adam's genuine enthusiasm for our project, his honesty, and his clear value for our business. What stood out: - Dedicated Project Management: Adam was the driving force behind this project. He maintained constant, clear communication and managed the schedule at an impressive pace. If you need a project manager who is extremely dedicated, organized, and focused on delivering high-quality results on time for a large project, Adam is your person. He was incredibly responsive and always available to address our questions and provide advice. We also never felt like he was trying to milk money out of the project. We did end up adding a lot to our original project scope, and we appreciated how Adam and the team adapted to our constant changes. - All-in-One Convenience: The in-house design services were a huge benefit. Having a dedicated designer made the often-overwhelming material selection process feel like a breeze. Furthermore, the convenience of Inspired Builders handling ALL plans, architect and engineer consults, permits, paperwork, and inspectors was an absolute lifesaver--it made the entire experience stress-free. - High-Quality Results: The construction work itself was excellent. We had very few and minor correction requests and it was clear that they had a quality assurance system for maintaining quality on this project. In the end, we were so happy with the results that we immediately booked Inspired Builders for a second, smaller project. 2) Garage remodel & exterior paint - 4/5 We are ultimately satisfied with the results of our smaller project. However, the timeline surpassed the original estimate by over 1 month, and we needed to dedicate a high amount of time to monitoring the work and requesting fixes. In our opinion, Inspired Builders is best suited for their demonstrated strength in larger home remodels.

    We found Inspired Builders via a Yelp search and they have exceeded expectations. We used them to remodel our kids bathroom -- reconfiguring it while removing tub and closet. Adam, Noa, Walter and the crew were transparent in their communication (WhatsApp group definitely helped :)), efficient (completed the job in under 4 weeks from start of demolition) and a pleasure to work with. They were quick to jump in and fix things when things didn't go as planned. I particularly appreciated this and it showed that they took pride in their work. I would highly recommend them and plan to use them for future projects.

    Before and after

    Barak and his team did an amazing job with our kids'/guest bathroom at our house in Mountain View. He came highly recommended from a friend in Menlo Park, and I'm very happy with my choice to work with him. He was easy to communicate with, his timeline was accurate, and his pricing came in quite a bit below another contractor I received a quote from. The guys working at our house (Julie and Carlos) were very competent, friendly, and respectful of our space, and Leo did a great job on the tile work. I didn't like one of the materials I had picked out, and when I brought it up with Barak he just agreed to change it like it was no big deal. Phew! We plan to work with them again when it's time to do our master bathroom. Thanks Inpired Builders!

    This is just a rendering but tbh our kitchen turned out almost EXACTLYYY like the rendering. So beautiful!

    Last December, I began my search for a reputable and diligent remodeling and construction team for my home renovation. After interviewing a total of four companies (all found on Yelp), my husband and I made the decision to move forward with Inspired Builders. What brought us to that decision was the communication style and friendliness of our project manager, Ben. He had a good sense of humor and straightforward approach. Despite Inspired Builder's quote coming nearly 20k over another company, we still went with them. Our project was a hallway bathroom remodel, a kitchen remodel, and renovating two bedrooms into 1 primary suite with an added on closet and bathroom, effectively going from 3 BR 1 BA to 2 BR 2 BA. We also repainted the interior of the home, re-finished the walls, removed a fireplace, and completely redid the flooring. My husband and I come from a super humble background - him a teacher, and me in non-profit work. That means EVERY. SINGLE. DOLLAR is not taken for granted, and everything we spent was intentionally saved. Ben really understood this and explained every phase of the construction and what we were paying for, and i felt he wasn't trying to scam me into paying into things i didn't need. Like any thrilling home renovation, we stumbled upon a couple issues here and there - one with our solar, our plumbing, and some rotted wood in the bathroom. Ben communicated the issues at every step and kept in contact with us and essentially took care of whatever he could. Since my husband is a teacher and I work in San Francisco, we weren't on site every day or every week and trusted Ben completely to help us make decisions and get things done, and he did just that. Partway through the process, we were given a different on-site manager and it was a bummer to not be able to see Ben anymore, although he stayed in contact weekly - and i should note that we got reassigned not for anything bad, but because Ben got promoted! Let me tell ya, these guys are working on 5-6 projects at a time and yet somehow he answers within an hour, and knows every detail of your project and doesn't get it confused with another project. One thing I would recommend is being really clear about your price preferences on finished materials, and be willing to look for things yourself if you don't agree with the price of something chosen for you. And be prepared to stay super organized - they give you a google sheet with items you need to purchase by room, and it's super important to check EVERY LINK and make sure you're buying what you're supposed to get. If you're confused, ASK THE QUESTIONS! Anyway, the house turned out beautifully and we're so thrilled to move back in. It's completely brightened, everything is modern and awesome, and it feels very "us." Overall, wonderful experience and I'm happy to chat with anyone considering Inspired Builders!

    Old Kitchen

    We contracted with Inspired Builders because Eddie took the time and care to explain the concept he had in mind for our home after I told him what I wanted my new kitchen to look like. Eddie and Fernando made sure that all projects I asked for were completed. Even though I started with just a kitchen remodel, while we were waiting for the designs and approvals from the City, I also had them paint the exterior of my house and replace our roof that was almost 40 years old. I had such a small kitchen before, so making holiday cookies and having family dinners was difficult, I had to move things around so I would have counter space to prepare our meals or make baked goods. I'm very happy with the end results. I love my new kitchen. My cat gets his own feeding area so the dog won't eat his food and we made room for a coffee station. Thank you Eddie and Fernando for helping us with this remodel.

    We just finished our master bathroom renovation with Inspired Builders. The bathroom came out beautiful and we are very thankful to the IB crew who worked hard on our project and were very attentive to our needs. We appreciate Joseph, the project manager and Nicole for their helpful recommendations and guidance throughout the project. We would highly recommend this company!

    We had our kitchen remodeled. Inspired Builders Barak over saw entire project. The team included design person, individual teams for demolition, electrical box + wiring, plumbing, tiles + floors, lights, cabinets, refrigerator, stove reconnection, and permits. We are very satisfied with the results.

    Inspired Builders built our dream home--and on budget! What we did: full kitchen renovation (2 supporting walls removed) and we changed the whole kitchen layout, full guest bathroom, reconfiguration of master bedroom and master bathroom (added walls, created a closet space and changed layout), interior updates (new doors, new flooring in the ENTIRE home, new paint all over the home, plumbing, electrical, removal of a front exterior enclosed patio, ANDDDD completely redid the exterior of my home, changing it from wood to stucco. Phew! Yes, they basically built us a new home in a span of 5 + months so let's just say, we know them VERY well by now! Warning: this review is long BUT detailed as possible so hopefully it can help you make a decision for your own renovation(s). W H Y Inspired Builders? We already knew how expensive this was going to be so it was VERY important for us to find contractors that we could trust. We interviewed 5 in total and all seemed similar (3D renderings, emphasis on past work, etc.), and what initially stood out to me was David's honest opinions. Right off the bat, he suggested ways I could save money, he offered layout suggestions and price differences. I knew he wasn't just trying to make a buck, and I knew right away that if we worked together, he would listen to me and have my back. There was zero pressure. Because if there's one thing I learned with major renovations, you NEED to be comfortable voicing what you want (or don't want) and that starts with how well you work with your team. Plus, there are always going to be surprises and knowing your contractor has your best interest in mind (both logically and budget-wise) is invaluable as you go through this crazy renovation journey. P R O C E S S: This was also a big deal for me because I have never gone through any remodel before. I knew absolutely NOTHING. After signing the agreement, you go through several meetings to discuss everything with everyone (the contractor, your project manager, the foreman, the engineer and the interior designer). Having everyone under the same company was THE BEST PART!! I can't even express how easy it was! Everyone is aware of everything so nothing gets lost in translation. As deadlines pop up and you're being asked a million questions, knowing everyone works together under the same roof makes the journey seamless. Less for you to worry about! Also, having a designer work with us was extremely valuable. You can Pinterest all you want, but nothing beats visiting stores and suppliers with a professional who understands pricing, colors, layout logistics, and who knows other suppliers so your designer can advocate for you. Shout out to Nicole! She was always there when we needed her- for advice, for meetups, phone calls, etc. My home is beautiful because of you! Once you have all your material picked out (yes, you pick out the majority of the material before construction begins) the team starts! Here you just to have to trust the process! But one thing I'd like to point out is our construction team was EXTREMELY TRUSTWORTHY and also very cordial and hardworking. Not only did I know that the personal belongings we left in our home were safe, but they were constantly covered and protected from dust, dirt and harm. Our foreman, Raul, was so easy to talk to that I had zero problems asking him for anything. Several times we changed our mind and sometimes, we were unsure about certain things. But the team was always available for meetings (in person and over the phone) and always made sure we were all in agreement before any decision were made. C O M M U N I C A T I O N: Inspired Builders excelled in this area! Our basic form of communication was through Whatsapp group chat where everyone involved was included. This made it easy for me to search through past conversations, images, documents and videos. I can't express how important communication is when it comes to renos, and David and his team excelled in this area! Every single day, we were updated through whats app and provided with progress pics. David never hesitated to call me or text me for both small and urgent matters. He helps you with your own task list (purchase this, think about this, measure this)--as a working mom, it was so helpful to have such an efficient project manger on your side. I have zero regrets working with Inspired Builders. Take a look at my photos and you'll see the AMAZING work they did on our home. Not only do I love my home, but I can confidently say that the entire, lengthy process of building my home was made sooo much easier and stress-free because of Inspired Builders. No horror stories here! We are constantly referring to them friends and if I ever need anything more done (hmmm maybe my garage?!!), I'll definitely be giving them a call again.

    Our new kitchen!

Communication was clear and consistent, so we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really stood out -- from the cabinetry and countertops to the finishes and overall layout. The crew was respectful of our home, kept the job site clean, and stayed on schedule as much as possible. Any questions or small adjustments were handled quickly and professionally. The final result exceeded our expectations, and our kitchen looks and functions better than we imagined. We would absolutely recommend Wise Builders to anyone considering a kitchen remodel and would gladly work with them again!

All prior interior work in our house had been done by handyman. I really appreciated the communication from our project manager Marc. He created a WhatsApp chat with me and the incredible designer Jocelyn. They were both consistently responsive to any of my questions or concerns -- and opened my mind to design options. Jocelyn spent time in our home, drafted plans, took me shopping, and sourced all the fixtures. From her spreadsheet I was able to find less expensive options for some items. I appreciated the input and control I had on these expenses. Since we needed to move out, I had a tight timeline for the project -- mid October until Thanksgiving. Marc and the team did their best despite City of San Jose delays with inspections. We were able to move back in before the final inspection. Every member of the team was kind and courteous. Marc also did a great job working with the window vendor that specializes in older homes. I'm rating the experience a 4.5 out of 5 for two reasons. I was disappointed that the medicine cabinet, switch plates, and hooks were initially installed unevenly (it was corrected). I expected more attention to detail. And I was disappointed in the wear & tear that happened on my wood floors as well as the overall dust in my dining room. I was warned that things would get dusty -- but didn't understand the extent and would have packed away more things. WISE offers lots of support with design -- they could also offer as part of their package a full cleaning! I offer this feedback to help others calibrate their expectations. Overall it was a positive experience. I waited several months to post this review until I returned from travel and could see how things were settling after regular use. I'm loving the new bathroom and recommend WISE.

Their master carpenter managed to salvage our existing wood to make it match perfectly. Definitely better than what I'd expect from even a carpentry specialty contractor. I will mention that it wasn't without some snags. Prime deals in volume so they're very busy. I think because I had delays in sourcing a freezer I ended up not getting a dedicated project manager for some time. We had timeline issues made worse with holidays. This caused cascading delays which inevitably pushed back my move in date a few weeks. When I finally did get a new project manager, they ghosted me (later on I found out they had a family emergency). Eli had to step in again to help. Another thing is that their pricing is quite opaque. The estimate will break down prices by milestones, but they repeated told me that it's not a valuation of the milestone itself. This made it nigh impossible to understand if I wanted to contract out specific pieces of the project (e.g. flooring). Design was OK. I felt that the designer was very busy. Sometimes very responsive (5min replies), sometimes not responsive at all (no reply). I wish I had a better, more thorough back-and-forth session about the intricacies of the design. But we made do. Ultimately, the designer made a render and helped point us to some vendors, but from there we had to make our own selection alone (cabinets, handles, pendant lights, faucets, etc.). I did appreciate her presence when we picked out countertops, though. All in all, I think this was a 4.5 star job, but I'm rounding to 5 because of Eli and Bryan :)

    We hired Prime Design for a home remodel project, but unfortunately the experience has been very…read moredisappointing. There have been multiple unresolved issues with the quality of work and follow-through. One example is an LED light that continues to flicker. It has been more than six months, with many calls and text messages, but the issue still has not been fixed. Another example is damage to our garage cabinet, where a hole was created during the work. We are still waiting for this to be repaired as well. Overall, the lack of timely resolution and poor communication after the project has been extremely frustrating.

    Eli and the LevelUp team completely transformed our 1970s home. They handled a massive structural…read moreoverhaul for us, which included building a brand-new master suite, modifying the existing master bedroom, and fully remodeling both our kitchen and an existing bathroom. Going into this, we were absolutely terrified--especially after hearing so many horror stories about year-long delays on major renovations. Because we had to live in an Airbnb with our two small children during construction, timing was everything. Choosing Eli and his team was the best decision we could have made. They completed this massive project in just four months, beating their initial six-month estimate. More importantly, they turned what could have been an incredibly stressful ordeal into a smooth, streamlined process. Eli walked us through each and every step with detailed weekly updates, keeping us entirely in the loop. We were actually out of town for two of those months, but because of his proactive communication, his team made lightning-fast progress while we were away. We are thrilled with the final result. The craftsmanship is excellent, and Eli personally ensured that everything--from the foundation up--was executed to the highest standard.

    We were searching for a contractor to continue along our home renovation journey with an extension…read moreproject. From start to finish the interactions had been very professional, respectful and timely. What sets this company apart was that they knew what they were doing, very experienced and had made the best use of our time in the two in person meetings that we had by answering all the questions we had and giving us exactly what my husband and I needed. We started out thinking we wanted an ADU extension but Nir gave us an honest take on what would work with our home and we were impressed. Out of several handful of people we met we would have gone with Level up if we decided to start the project and hope they pick up our call when we are ready again in a few years. Thank you Nir, Ruth and the rest of the team.

    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!
