We hired DevArt8 to convert our detached garage in the Willow Glen area of San Jose into a…read morepermitted ADU we could rent. The garage was old, built in the 1940s with the original house, and we expected there might be surprises. Sure enough, about two weeks in, they found asbestos around the original wiring conduit. They paused construction immediately, scheduled licensed abatement, and got back to work within about 10 days. Documented everything for our insurance and did not try to upsell us on anything we didn't need. About 4.5 months total. Final unit is a 380 sqft studio with a sleeping loft, full kitchenette, and a real bathroom. We had it rented within a week of certificate of occupancy at a rate that covers a meaningful chunk of our mortgage.

We chose DevArt8 as our ADU builder in San Jose after meeting a few different contractors, and the…read moredifference was obvious right away. They were clear about the process, realistic about timelines, and didn't overpromise. The San Jose ADU permits side was what worried us most, but they handled it in a structured way. We always knew what was submitted, what we were waiting on, and what the next step would be. That level of communication made the entire project feel calm. The build itself is excellent. Everything feels solid and well finished, from the framing to drywall, electrical, plumbing, and final details. The layout is functional and it doesn't feel like an "extra unit" at all, it feels like a small custom home. We've had multiple friends ask who built it because the quality shows. If you're looking for ADU builders in San Jose who actually know the permit process and deliver high level craftsmanship, DevArt8 is a great choice.

We had an excellent experience with Daniel from Wise Builders on our kitchen remodel. From the…read moreinitial consultation through completion, their team was professional, organized, and easy to work with. 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!

The one bathroom in our 1918 house was in serious need of an upgrade. We chose WISE because they…read morewould hold my hand through the design and build process. 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.

The craftsmanship on the glass enclosure and the new vanity are great! Other than a few minor hiccups and delays, Vadim and his crew did a thorough job making sure everything was to my liking before completion. Very competitively priced.

You will get impressed and choose to hire him if you have him onsite to know how patient and professional he is. For my project, initially I thought is related to breaker. He checked each single outlet that is affected. Mess it is (due to our earlier general contractor who wires four hot wires from a single outlet!!), Biar was able to identify the problem (bad connection before aluminum and copper wires) and fix it. A nontrivial issue was later identified related to our disposal wires, and Biar self proposed to get into our crawlspace to try finding the root cause. Unfortunately no issues there, and it may be caused by unstable connections inside the wall. No time for this work today, but I am setting a follow up job with him the coming week! The project took him much longer than expected, and he even skipped his lunch time to get the project done. The price is quite reasonable. I am super happy with his work, and look forward to getting the disposal fixed next week.

Just moved into my house and am just floored by the incredible work done by the team at Greenberg!…read moreI was originally skeptical of such a major remodel - every friend had horror stories of contactors doing sub par work, disappearing, completely, etc. I was really glad to work with Ohad, our project manager for the project. He'd worked with one of our friends previously, and so we knew he'd do a great job for our project. We also loved Greenberg's integrated approach. The architect, constructions, design and management was all done by Greenberg. This meant that the project from top to bottom was aligned with the team actually doing the construction work. My top priorities were 1) a modern home design 2) a job done with high quality 3) low stress. Ohad / Greenberg helped deliver on all of these aspects in spades. The last thing I wanted to do was have to coordinate with flaky contractors, have to re-do low quality work after a long day at work. Ohad kept the project on track and handled all the hassle of dealing with subcontractors & inspectors. Greenberg probably won't be the cheapest contractor you'll talk to, but as the saying goes - you get what you pay for. Quality work, up to code, and no drama is well worth the cost. Ohad worked with us throughout the project to consider different budget options, and gave candid advice about where he thought the budget would be best spent. Overall, highly recommend. I was referred by a friend and have put multiple friends in touch with Greenberg for their projects as well. Everyone is floored by house nice our remodel turned out and will 100% be in touch in the future for any future projects we have.

One of the biggest highlights was the design process; their team curated high-quality material options based on my vision board, saving me from the overwhelming experience of wandering through massive showrooms. When I visited the Greenberg showroom, the team presented their design with all my samples ready to view in-person. The logistical side was equally impressive. They handled the entire San Mateo permitting process. Once construction began, Ohad and I stayed in constant contact via text and phone to address any issues or decisions that needed to be made. He also kept me up to date with many photos of the construction. Everyone warned me that a project like this would take well over a year and go way over budget, but Greenberg completed construction in just 10 months and kept change orders to a minimum. I had such confidence in Ohad's attention to detail that I didn't even visit the site until the project was almost finished. The result is a total transformation that maximizes every square foot of my home without the need for a massive addition. My parents were so impressed they have already hired Greenberg for their own remodel.

They helped me creatively tackle challenges, and always did it with a smile. I really can't wait to use them again and highly recommend them.

Mark and Jorge (his foreman) have been incredibly responsive to any issues. While the scope of the work crept up (as it would when you open up walls and discover surprises left to you by former homeowners), they gave us different options, not necessarily just the most expensive one - and was always mindful when we were hesitant due to budget. The quality of the work is great, along with great communications, timing, and coordination. His sub-contractors are also timely, kind, and reliable. We said we wanted to be in our house by Christmas and they got us in on 12/20. Handled the permitting processes and everything was approved. Really can't ask for more. We have one more bathroom to remodel and we'll be definitely going back to Mark once we're ready to tackle that project. (Please don't hesitate to message me for more pictures of before and afters. I love showing off our remodel.)

From the design phase all the way to the final inspection, the entire process was smooth and easy. Tony and his crew did an excellent job and paid close attention to every detail during construction.

Construction & More recently completed a full home renovation for my home in Fremont. From…read morebeginning to end, our points of contact, Avi & Joseph have gone above and beyond for our project, walking us through the planning phases, permitting, design, construction and finishing work of the renovation. They were able to make a normally very stressful process almost stress-free, so much so that all I had to do was say "yes or no" when it came to key decisions. The Construction & More team took lead in the painful parts of dealing with permitting, PG&E, and subcontractors. They also got us in contact with their preferred vendors to help us with discounts on appliances, finishes and other materials we needed to purchase out of pocket. Overall, I found the Construction & More team extremely professional, transparent, organized, communicative and punctual when it came to the end-to-end process. They truly helped guide us through the process so we didn't have any surprises and helped us navigate any hiccups that came up. Normally, construction companies get a bad rap of being dishonest and trying to add in hidden fees and such, but Construction & More is a truly forthcoming and hardworking group of contractors who have your best interest at heart when it comes to your project no matter how big or small. For the process itself, we began with a consultation at our home to walk through the work we wanted the Construction & More team to do. For us, it was a full renovation which included removing a kitchen wall to create an open concept kitchen & living room, adding a mud room, expanding the master bedroom, moving the front and garage doors, as well as moving the ceilings to create a more open space. After the consultation was completed, we met with Avi & Joseph at their office to discuss an estimate and timeline for the work we needed done about (6-months time, pending no delays). Avi & Joseph respected our budget and were upfront and honest of how to stay within the budget and what were non-negotiables that we needed to get done. They really helped us understand what work was critical and what were nice to have to make our living space better. Once we agreed on the work, they promptly sent over a contract for signature, created a whatsapp group for real time communication, and next steps. Overall this initial process took about a week after negotiations and contract reviews. Once construction began, the team coordinated all the work. They made sure that all moving parts were well executed while setting a realistic timeline for the work to be done. All the subcontractors and tradesmen were effectively scheduled, where there wasn't a single day where there was no work being done. I felt that the team ensured that the construction was moving swiftly and the crew was respectful of our space. The crew made sure that our home was properly locked up and cleaned up after each day's work. Additionally, all the detailed finishing work was measured and completed with precision, where all the tiles placed were measured with a laser. As a bonus, the crew was also super respectful to our neighbors which is an extra plus! If you're considering a renovation of any size, but especially a full home renovation, I could not rave more about Construction & More. Their expertise, professionalism, thoroughness and transparency really sets them apart from the competition. I'm extremely grateful and happy with the outcome of our renovation! Good work guys!!
