We knew right away they were trustworthy, friendly people who care about their work and their reputation. This husband and wife team work together very well. The lines of communication were always open and we kept a standing appointment every week to work through each and every detail together. This was the most important factor in the success of our project. If something happened to be even slightly off from our plan or discussion, John swiftly corrected and made sure we were happy before moving onto the next phase. He and his team worked around our schedule and made sure everything was buttoned up. The Kusalos stand by their work and they are great people.

He listened to what…read morewe wanted (to keep cabinets which were in decent shape and flooring which was recently replaced) and worked to update everything else. He allowed us to control the design and appliance choices and readily provided in areas we were unsure of (ie, lighting, sources for countertop slabs, etc). He and his team were very responsive over the course of the project from initial consultation through final touch ups and got the job done in a reasonable amount of time given that it was started during the holidays (right before Thanksgiving and finished by New Year's). The area was kept clean and organized, workers courteous and the team communicated with us each step of the way. The final product is exactly what I had envisioned. We will not hesitate to reach out again to update other areas in our house or recommend Shefer.

The showers were only 2-3 feet of space, dark and uncomfortable to shower in. Hardly any vanity space and the places the toilets were, were well, not the most spacious. We knew eventually we would have to renovate the bathrooms. Well, when we met Yaniv, we hired Shefer Builders to redo our roof. I could tell instantly he was an extremely detailed person. This filters down to the staff. The entire staff!! Talking with Yaniv during the roof project, we decided to have the company redo our bathrooms. This included a 3D designer, and a mobile showroom that came to the house so I could choose all the fun stuff. Everyone is so nice and comfortable to talk to about design and pricing. In addition, the crew and foremans were very helpful in explaining what they were doing throughout the enire projects. As for the kitchen: we had a dishwasher go bad and it leaked water all over including out the back of the house!! Well....perfect time to have Shefer Builder renovate the kitchen!! What a continued blessing to have the crews come back again and help in such a fine way. I have always loved cooking and baking but even more so now with my beautifully desinged, perfectly crafted and functional kitchen!! They give so much attention to the little things I did not even notice! Exceptional quality from everyone!! The crews were hard working, fun and really made the process a joy to experience. We will definately be calling to use them for any further things we need beautified at our home!!

Mehrdad Chavoz was recommended to us by friends for a remodel project we wanted to undertake…read more Having never done a large project before, Mehrdad was fantastic throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, he helped us navigate through all the decisions needing to be made while staying within our budget. Additionally, Mehrdad provided great recommendations, highlighting the pros and cons of the many choices we had to make over the 13 months our project took. The project included a 500 sqft extension, a new floor plan with an open kitchen/living room, three new bathrooms, and an extra bedroom. We were very pleased with his attention to detail; he was always upfront and worked in our best interests. We absolutely love our new house and highly recommend Mehrdad for your major remodel projects.

Mehrdad is very professional and showed a high level of attention to detail in his work on our home…read morerenovation. Where his work ethic and attentiveness really stood out for us was not when things were smooth sailing (which was most of the time), but in the few times where reality deviated from expectations. For a big project like remodeling a house, the question is not IF there will be miscommunication between client and contractor, but WHEN- there are too many moving parts to avoid it completely. But when things (very rarely!) were off, Mehrdad stepped up and made good on his promises to fix the issue, and, crucially, took detailed notes for himself to refer to, ensuring the changes were made to our satisfaction and agreement. Even months after the project was completed and the pay checks were cut, Mehrdad continued to stay in contact with us and even stopped by a few times to check on how things were going, making minor tweaks to the house as needed. The level of customer service he provided was incredible, and far beyond anything we've experienced with a contractor (and we've done a few home projects by now). And he is just a great guy all-around. Highly recommended!

Excellent quality for an excellent price! I highly recommend Quiroz Construction for residential…read moreremodeling. We hired them this year to remodel our garage and add a 4th bedroom and bathroom, involving demolition and installation of new framework. They had just a large remodel on our neighbor's house, and a few other remodels of different sizes in our neighborhood. We met with Jose Quiroz, the owner for the initial consult. His brother, Adam was our crew chief and I was told another younger brother was part of the crew as well. The crew and all the subs (plumber, electrician, painter, hardware guy, etc) all seemed in good contact with Jose. During the first phase, the crew came reliably every day including Saturday at the same time and ended at the same time. They cleaned up daily and kept the site very tidy. I was also happy with the quality of the finish work, especially the tile work for the shower, painting, and hardware installation. The rough frame also seemed well-made. There were a few changes made after initial inspections, but nothing out of the ordinary. Jose has an office person, Omar, who almost-always answered the phone within 1-2 rings, and was our main contact person for questions. He also emailed us often and was a great asset to the team. One thing to note - we did get delayed for 1-2 months waiting for bath tile that was back-ordered. Once the crew stopped working, it was harder to get them back, but we eventually finished and signed off on the project well beyond our expectations. Last, Jose's bid for our project was the lowest of 3 that we obtained. With high recommendations and the lowest bid, it was a no-brainer to hire them. We stayed completely on budget, there were no surprises from them. Our overages had to do with the cost of material we chose. I would use Quiroz Construction again, and recommend them to eveyone!

My wife and I are so happy with them that we have been recommending them ever since. have recommended them to my brother and about 5 other people who have used him and they have all been very happy. They are honest, reliable, professional and any other positive adjective you can think of. Their prices were by far the lowest of 3 bids I received and when there were change requests done during the middle of construction they did not take advantage and charge a higher rate than they should. I know this for a fact because I hired another person to review all charges to make sure they were fair. In 13 months we were able to move into the house. They worked 6 days a week most weeks and there was always many workers at the house (some job sites you may only see 1 or 2 guys working and other times no one is there). The quality of their work was so good that my architect praised them to me several times throughout the project. It was the first time the architect had worked with Quiroz Construction and now they recommend them to their clients looking for contractors. You will not be disappointed if you move forward with Quiroz Construction. Good luck on your project!

We worked with S&S, their subcontractors, and partners for our home renovation project in San Jose…read morebetween November 2025 and May 2026. Our project included retexturing the exterior walls and repainting the entire exterior of our home, replacing our HVAC system and ductwork, replacing all the windows, adding exterior lighting to the front of our home, replacing our water heater, replacing our previous rain downspouts, and numerous other 'smaller' items that I can't recall as I'm writing this. Since this was our second home renovation project (we had a mixed-to-negative experience with our previous contractor), we spoke with a few different contractors in the South Bay and chose S&S based on several factors including their very competitive pricing, flexibility in understanding our needs, and excellent first impressions (showing up on time, proactively providing us with recommendations, being super approachable, etc.). Throughout the entire project, S&S and their partners always showed up on time (or communicated in advance if they were running a little behind), checked in with us to see how we felt things were progressing, and temporarily paused work to recalibrate with us if we felt adjustments needed to be made. Even though things didn't always go smoothly 100% of the time (what home project ever does?), S&S made sure that things were "done right" and that we were satisfied with the end result. Of particular note, this included S&S spending extra time, money, and labor at their own expense to make sure things met both our expectations and their standards, which absolutely speaks to their exceptional work ethic and business practices. Overall, I would absolutely recommend S&S to anyone else that's looking to have work done around their home. They will certainly be the first people I reach out to for our next home renovation project.

So, I decided to get the entire interior painted this spring. After reading reviews on the Willow Glen e-List recommendation page, and checking yelp, I decided to call Pride Painting based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I met with them to do the quote and they were thorough. They quote came in and it was right in line with what I was willing to pay. So, I hired them. They seemed like good people and I felt like they were really paying attention to what I wanted. They patiently waited for me to try and match one color for days, and were helpful in selecting a new paint when we didn't get an exact match. Overall, they did an amazing job and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs painting done. They were patient, reliable and did high quality work. Also, I have curved ceilings in the family room and dining room. When we bought the house they were the same color as the walls. So, the next painter did the same. Jose and Lou suggested I paint them white, like normal rooms. So, I tried it and WOW - what a difference. It has made a huge improvement in the look and feel of the room. I was so impressed with their knowledge and suggestion - they aren't just painters, they care about the overall feel and look of their work. I highly recommend them!!
