I had pleasure of working with Payman and his associates Dario and Ginu on my home renovation project. 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. read more

I've used Payman and Bay Area Design and Construction for two big projects now, and I honestly wouldn'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. read more

We had an excellent experience working with Payman on our bathroom addition. They exceeded our expectations, staying on timelines, and also such high quality workmanship. Highly recommend. We plan to work with Payman for all our future renovations. read more

We approached Payman from Bay Area Design & Construction based on our family friend's excellent recommendation. Our project was not too big but very time sensitive. Payman is a thorough professional and gave us very nice ideas on how to go about it. He reassured us that it could be completed in time if we followed his suggestions and scoped it down to also manage costs and time better. He and his team took care of the design and got the city permit. We were provided with accurate, itemized costs that we had to pay weekly. Every cost was disclosed upfront. Dario, Gino and the entire team was very helpful and responsive to our needs and did a masterclass job in making our half bath a full bath and relocating our laundry. They finished up the garage in a great condition despite the challenges it had. They also took care of some small jobs like painting and fixing some plumbing/HVAC issues in the house despite their tight schedule and we really appreciate that. Through the entire project, we had weekly meetings and communication was top notch via emails/text messages to address our concerns. The end result was so good and we are very pleased with the workmanship. The project was completed a bit ahead of time. They are super organized and take care of every detail from start to end including design, permit, construction, final inspection, hand off and clean up. They have my highest recommendation for any remodeling project. Thank you Payman, Dario, Gino and team! :) We are so glad we engaged you for this project! read more

I highly recommend Payman and his team. Our 5 month remodel included adding square footage, plumbing new bathroom, new roof, etc. The project was done ahead of schedule and on budget with no drama. Great team to work with. read more

Bay Area Design & Construction recently completed a total rebuild of our home, and it turned out incredible! Our project was pretty complicated because we worked with a separate architect and landscape designer, and Payman's team had to coordinate with both. We also selected some specialty materials, which at times needed different installers. Darío and Gino were always there in person to support us and make sure all of the separate parties worked together smoothly. They responded immediately whenever we had questions or concerns. Payman made on-site recommendations to make the house more comfortable for us to navigate as we get older. They were also very patient with us when we took extra time to make decisions or work with vendors they weren't familiar with. When there were hold ups with the city, Payman used all of his contacts to speed things up for us. And when the original appliance vendor our architect recommended had unexpected delays, he managed to source the same appliances much sooner and in time for our inspection. We were very stressed being away from home and having so many decisions to make, but it was worth it. We couldn't have asked for kinder or more professional people to work with! read more

Payman and his entire team (Dario,Gino,Sina and others)at Bay Area design and construction did an amazing job in making our dream home a reality. They are very professional and far exceeded our expectations in all aspects of the project - architecture, planning, pricing, scheduling, response time and most importantly - quality of work. They have got a lot of experience in handling multiple projects successfully at the same time. We met up every week to walk through the tasks done prior week and what is planned for the next few weeks. It helped streamline the process and gave us enough time to focus on the things we needed to order immediately vs later. They completed the project exactly on the target date and we got our permit approved with minimal/no changes which was a pleasant surprise. We would highly recommend them to folks for any renovation work or adding new square feet to their home. read more

We recently completed an extensive home remodel project with Bay Area Design and Construction, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional.  Payman and his team is dedicated to great workmanship and meticulously attended to all details of the remodel, resulting in a finished product that exceeded our expectations. We especially valued our weekly walkthroughs of the project, where Payman personally reviews project progress and quickly addresses any issues or concerns that we may have. We were first timers in home remodeling and had considerable anxiety going into the project, and Payman's team were not only knowledgeable but always approachable and accommodating, making the remodel process as smooth and low-stress as can be. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Payman's crew, especially Dario, Gary, and Salvador who take extra care that things are done right! We are extremely satisfied with Bay Area Design and Construction for their outstanding workmanship, professionalism, and collaborative approach. We would not hesitate to work with Payman again for any future projects we may have! read more

If I could give Bay Area Design and Construction six stars, I would. This was the first time I actually enjoyed working with a contractor - Payman and the rest of the team were a pleasure to work with. We did a major remodeling work on our house - completely redid four bathrooms, kitchen, two fireplaces in family and living rooms, floors, tons of plumbing and electrical, all paint and just about everything else. I could go on and on about the quality of work, but just look at the pictures - everyone said that's the best-looking job they ever saw - both the craftsmanship and the way everything turned out. That's the #1 thing that, I believe, sets them apart from others - their folks and people they bring are true craftsman that do an impeccable job - tile and kitchen surfaces, carpentry, floors, and everything else were done incredibly well. Another positive was the way they handled complications that inevitably happen during any large project - nothing ever goes 100% according to the plan, and no large and complex task is ever 100% perfect on the very first attempt. There was nothing major, but there were minor hiccups, scheduling complexities because of the COVID and supply chain issues, we changed our minds here and there (I suppose everyone does occasionally) - they handled everything with ease and utmost professionalism. That is what I liked about Payman the most - he honestly wanted to do the right thing and make us happy, which is a rarity. I would definitely recommend and use them again! read more

We are very grateful to have met Payman and worked with Bay Area Design & Construction on a recent home remodeling project. Payman and his team were organized, communicative, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable. The project bid came in at a very competitive price, all the inspections were passed without a problem, and the work was completed a week ahead of schedule. We are very happy with the final result in terms of the craftsmanship of the work as well as the smoothness of the process. Payman and his team are honest, hard-working, flexible, and truly customer- and outcome-oriented. We will not hesitate to reach out to Bay Area Design & Construction for future projects. read more

Bay Area Design and Construction helped transform our dream home into reality. Payman and his team were beyond incredible. They are very easy to work with, have phenomenal craftsmanship and stayed true to their word in terms of timeline... which is quite rare for a project of the size we had (adding an entire floor and remodeling the first floor). We were really impressed by the fact that they always stayed ahead of the game in terms of decisions to be made and materials needed, anticipating hurdles if any... which resulted in no delays. Part way through the project, when due to an earlier oversight we decided to make a significant change to the design, Payman promptly got all relevant parties involved, which even required updating the plan with the city, and got the change incorporated so that in the end we would be satisfied with the project. Payman also helped us make good design and finish material choices and we are extremely happy not just with the end result but the whole process of getting there. Even post project completion they have been continuing to support us with touch ups and small repairs. read more

Before this project, we had no experience with rebuilding/remodeling. We interviewed many contractors before going with Payman and the Bay Area Design and Construction team. Payman met us multiple times to answer our questions about the project. We did not feel rushed to get into a contract with Payman during this time. He provided honest and upfront answers to set our expectations right. Payman walked us through the whole process with extreme patience. We could not have done this without his guidance before and throughout the project. Once we started, Payman and his team were organized and efficient in keeping the project on track, despite issues with material sourcing during the pandemic. During our weekly meetings, Payman would discuss the progress, list any problems that came up and provide options for workarounds or fixes as needed. Payman is always reachable to answer any questions outside of the weekly meetings. Payman has good connections with various vendors for finish materials. He extended his contractor discounts whenever possible, allowing us to select premium finishes. We were out of the country for about three months during the project. Payman made sure he had everything from us before we left. He made sure the work did not stop while we were away. Payman would get on a video call to provide updates on our project while we were away. After project completion and moving, Payman provided continued support in fixing possible problems. I feel fortunate to have found Payman and the team. Our experience has been above and beyond what one expects from a contractor or a construction company. read more

Payman and his team is awesome, and they definitely deserve the 5-star rating. We recently completed a whole house remodel + new 2nd floor addition project with Bay Area Design and Construction. Payman is the owner/GC & he is a high achiever. He and his team are very experienced, organized and knowledgeable in both construction and project management. Payman is very open minded and willing to listen to homeowners' needs and ideas. But at the same time, he is also being honest to provide his professional suggestions so that homeowners can make the right decision for many different (big / small) details. We really appreciate his opinion and indeed this is something very important for homeowners who are new in the construction industry. Besides Payman, people from his team (i.e. Gary, Dario, Gino, Salvador etc) are also very responsive to our emails/calls. They are definitely well trained to handle issues efficiently and professionally, they are just so reliable. Not to mention that they are also very friendly and respectful to us the homeowners, as well as to the neighborhood. We received a lot of positive comments from the neighbors and friends along the way about how efficient they are in completing each phase of the work. Even though the progress was quick and we finished earlier than scheduled, the job was so well done that even the inspector who came for the final inspection was in awe of the quality of work done by them. In a nutshell, we are very thrilled to have selected them to be our GC. Building a house itself is a stressful process, especially if you're working parents with very young kids. You really need someone accountable to handle this. They surpassed our expectations in almost every aspect, and therefore we highly recommend them to everyone who wants to remodel or build their dream house. You are in good hands if you selected Bay Area Design & Construction as your builder. read more

I strongly recommend Payman and the Bay Area Design for your home and backyard renovation and construction needs! We were referred to Payman by a friend who used them for an add-on to their main home, and are so thankful for that. Payman served as our architect and builder for our new ADU, as well as the builder for a complete blank-slate renovation of our backyard (including installing a new pool, firepit, outdoor kitchen, artificial turf, pavers, lighting, etc.). Payman's build was on schedule (less than 1 yr from demo to completion) and his team managed all the permitting, helped line up contractors and suppliers for select materials, custom cabinetries, and more. Overall, we are thrilled with the result and have already enjoyed making many memories in the new space. The most important thing I can say is that any large scale remodel will have its challenges and unexpected curveballs will arise, but we could always trust Payman to act with integrity and work with us on a solution. He takes pride in high quality work and works with sub-contractors who do as well. If you're considering embarking on a home project, reach out to Payman and his team asap! read more

I'm not sure how much more I can add to the reviews that Payman and his team already have but I'll try. My wife and I had heard endless stories about how contractors do a great sell up front and then leave the homeowner with a disaster. I am pretty handy and have a slightly elevated knowledge of construction based on the work I personally needed to do on my home in the past because the electrician and window companies that we used years ago left us with a mess. For our full home remodel, we interviewed a handful of contractors and chose Payman based on the quality of Payman's work that I witnessed during the remodel of a neighbor's home. I noticed that his guys all wore the company uniform and they showed up each morning at 7am on the dot. My neighbor raved about them. Even then, I was skeptical but we took the plunge and selected Payman. If there are a few things I have gotten right in my life, that decision was one of them. From the beginning when Payman sat with us, he was honest that there will always be things that either go wrong or that we will find along the way. His commitment was that he would always work with us in a fair and honest way and take care of those things. He is a combination of a great project manager who really keeps the teams aligned and on schedule and a knowledgeable guide who worked with us on design ideas and solutions to construction issues that arose. For example, we learned that our architect had misdrawn a wall and it was off by a foot. Payman's guys came upon the issue during the build so Payman met with us, brainstormed a few solutions and we actually ended up with a better design and a great room that was a foot larger. His teams are specialists for each area (great drywall team, great framing team, great painters, great concrete, etc.) They are always the same people so you get to know them all personally and they are the nicest people as well. From Rinat, who knows all things Plumbing, to Miguel, the guy who is a master of concrete and stucco, they are top notch all around. I won't bore you with more detail but I will say this. If you are seeking someone who is trustworthy and has crews that are spot on and VERY good at what they do, Payman is the best I have ever witnessed and never cuts corners. He wants it done right and pushes his guys to follow his lead on that. Here are a few before and after shots of our home. We now have an amazing home that is the talk of the neighborhood. SO happy with this company! read more

Payman and his very competent crew remodeled both of our small bathrooms. Payman's advice about where to find the best tiles and fixtures started us out in the best way. We easily found what we thoroughly enjoy. The process of implementing the design went smoothly with few hitches. They were rapidly responsive any time we wanted something changed. Our bathrooms were put together with expert craftsmanship. We could not be happier! read more

We decided to remodel our downstairs bathroom to accommodate our needs as we get older. We engaged Bay Area Design and Construction based on a colleague's recommendation. It proved to be an excellent decision. Payman is a respectful, knowledgeable, and extremely conscientious general contractor. His experience helped us iron out our original ideas into a functional and very attractive finished product. Both he and his project foreman were readily available and promptly responded to any questions we had. The crew was friendly, punctual, efficient and highly skilled. The project finished earlier than the projected date. The cost was quite reasonable. I highly recommend Payman and his team for any construction project you may be considering. George B read more

Bay Area (owned by Payman F.) performed two bathroom remods, a large deck replacement, and a large driveway repaving for us - all separate projects. Here is our take: Price: We got competitive bids on all projects and he had the best price every time. Schedule: Completed on time every time. Quality: First rate. Any glitches, Payman fixed them. Other: Crews showed up when they said they would and worked like beavers building a dam. Payman himself is valuable in number of ways: He is very helpful in planning the project, e.g., selecting the right fixtures and materials and where to get them, layout etc. He is brisk, lucid and freindly. He "owns" the project, seems to be personally invested in getting it right. Over the years we've had a lot of work done by a number of different contractors. He's the best. read more

We recently completed a home remodel project with Bay Area Design and Construction and were very happy with both the work they did and the service they provided! We replaced our windows, flooring, kitchen counter, and front door; removed pocket doors; and painted both the interior and exterior, among a few other updates. Payman and his team were great to work with. He provided us with the information and contacts we needed for sourcing the finished materials, which was a big help. I appreciated our periodic meetings with Payman, where we reviewed the progress and discussed the plan for the upcoming week. The team managed to finish our project early, which was amazing. Payman and his crew take extra care to do things right. Even after our project was completed, Payman and Dario quickly addressed a few small issues we noticed. We would work with Payman again for any future projects we may have. read more

We've used Bay Area Design and Construction for 5 projects (including a complete overhaul of a 4000 Sq foot home: * New Kitchen, bathroom, floors, lighting, paint for rental (2020) * Major Home remodel (2012) * New bathroom for rental (~2009) * New Kitchen for rental (~2007) * New Kitchen for rental (~2006) Payman and his team are competent, solutions focused and they move quickly on the project. They stand behind their work and can give you some creative ideas. Bring your own design or work with their preferred supplies to create your vision. I've also referred them to many people including my 80 year old mother; they did 2 of her bathrooms. read more

We used Bay Area Design & Construction for a bathroom remodel and were absolutely thrilled with the results. We were referred to them by a friend, who had a great remodeling experience as well. This was our first remodeling experience, so we were apprehensive. Payman and his team walked us through the project and answered our many questions informatively and patiently. We had obtained three quotes before choosing their company; not only did theirs end up being the lowest, but they also seemed the most experienced. They were easy to communicate and work with, and came in on time and within budget (with the exception of upgrades that we chose for ourselves). We were thrilled with the final result- the remodel turned out better than I could have expected. We highly recommend Bay Area Design & Construction and will definitely use them again for future projects. read more

Everything was delivered per contract, on the budget, and sooner than scheduled. We recommend their services.

Payman and his team are the best! We would highly recommend them to anyone in the Bay Area who is looking to spruce up their homes. In fact, we are already thinking about when we can engage them again for another project. We worked with Bay Area Design and Construction to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms and the end result is better than we could have imagined! As first time remodelers, we were a bit anxious going into the process, but Payman came highly recommended from one of my colleagues so she helped connect us for an initial consultation. Payman was super responsive and scheduled time to come by a few days later. We walked through our house and talked about the updates we'd like to make and I was immediately impressed with Payman's ability to understand our needs and desired aesthetic, while being very knowledgeable about the code updates we'll need to make. By the end of the visit, we were sold! We started the project in late November, and Payman and his team worked through the holidays and many nights and weekends to deliver our newly remodeled house back to us shortly after the New Year. Each week, we would meet with Payman and walk through the latest updates and discuss details for any pending work scheduled for the week after which was super helpful. Payman is meticulous with details and oftentimes would notice tweaks and touch ups to make that we probably would have never noticed! It's also very clear in speaking to the partners that Payman works with that he sets a high bar across his expanded team to deliver the best results for each of his clients. Each member of Payman's team that I've worked closely with - Dario, Salvador, Otash - were also great and went above and beyond to deliver us what seems like a brand new house. We've been back in our house for about a month now and everything's been great. We also have the added piece of mind with the 1-year service warranty that Payman offers in case any fixes or touch-ups are needed.

How can you tell when someone is happy with their contractor? Like really, really thrilled? They hire them again for a bigger project. And that's what we did. Two years ago, we hired Payman and his hardworking, dedicated team to remodel one of our bathrooms. It was a very small project - especially compared to the house that he was rebuilding from the ground up just a short distance away - but our project got the same amount of care and attention. To say that we were completely satisfied with the outcome is an understatement. A few months ago, we got the itch to fix up our kitchen and the hall bathroom. Again, it wasn't a big project by any stretch of the imagination, and we had heard from friends that finding a contractor was difficult at that particular time. Nevertheless, we reached out to Payman and got a response very quickly. Even though it was just a week before the Christmas holidays, he met us to go over our work and made several suggestions about where to start looking for materials. Shortly after the holidays, we received his quote that was right in line with our expectations. We didn't even bother asking for quotes from other contractors. We knew that Payman was the one we wanted for the job. In early February the work got underway. For the next five weeks there were team members in our house every day starting at 7:00am and working continuously until 6:00pm. At the end of each day, they were very meticulous about cleaning up the workspace and sweeping up the dust. Everyone who came into our home was exceptionally friendly and polite, and in the case of the plumber, entertainingly funny. Each week, Payman came by to review the progress. Even though he had large jobs up and down the peninsula from Burlingame to San Jose, he paid careful attention to every single detail, even things that we didn't think about. As should be expected with any remodel, large or small, there were some minor snags. For example, the sink that we had selected didn't turn out to be the right kind for our bathroom. It was our mistake, and my wife and I were willing to accept the installation of the non-ideal sink. Payman wasn't having any of that - it had to be right. So we found a different sink that was appropriate for our space, and of course we're so much happier. In another case, our existing dishwasher (which we wanted to keep because it was only about 6 months old) didn't quite fit into the space in the custom cabinets that had been built for us. He immediately offered to replace the dishwasher at his cost so that everything would fit just right. This exemplifies how dedicated he is to making his customers completely satisfied. This was supposed to be an 8 week project, finishing in early April. The work was completely done in less than 6 weeks. The project was right on budget. Our kitchen and bathroom look fantastic and the quality of the work is impeccable. We are especially thankful to Payman and his team for getting our job done so quickly. The project wrapped up just as the countywide shelter-in-place order went into effect due to Covid-19. If the work had proceeded at the expected pace, there is a possibility that we would have been left without a bathroom and a kitchen for an indefinite period of time as construction projects grind to a halt during these uncertain and frightening times. I do not think there are words that could adequately express our gratitude. Payman and his team are truly outstanding. You really can't go wrong with these folks and you will come away happier than expected, just as we did - twice. read more

We remodeled our kitchen and 3 bathrooms during the COVID pandemic. We interviewed few contractors before going with Bay Area Design and Construction. Payman from Bay Area Design and construction met with us multiple times to estimate our project and answer our questions. He provided honest and clear answers without any false promise to get contract signed. Our primary reason for kitchen remodeling was to add an island. First time we approached him, he had mentioned that there is not enough space to do kitchen island but second time when we approached, he did further research and gave us various options. Contract terms and conditions were very clear and there was no surprise until we finished the project and made full payment. Once contract was signed, Payman gave us project schedule and few options for start date of the project. Project was very well organized and managed professionally by the team. Dario was our project manager. Despite multiple issues and delays on material sourcing during COVID time, team did pull it off relatively within scheduled time of completion. In couple of instances, Payman and Dario also allowed us to change our previous decisions which had affected project schedule for them. Bay Area Design and Construction team was very patient, cooperative and very understanding. We stayed in house during the construction and team was very accommodative to take care of our convenience. After project completion, Payman and Dario provided continued support in fixing possible problems. When we selected Bay Area Design and Construction for our project, we had strong recommendations from our couple of friends and I would be happy to provide strong recommendation to anyone who is interested in any size of the construction project with Bay Area Design and Construction. read more

We cannot thank Payman and his team at Bay Area Design & Construction enough for an outstanding remodel job on our house. His team brought our dreams to reality. He took a Cape Code style home and transformed it into a beautiful transitional/modern home. We are so happy with the remodel. Payman is trust worthy and fair with his quotes. During our remodel process Payman and his team established weekly meetings to help us understand progress and next steps. This really helped us plan and procure materials during the 2021 supply chain issues. Our remodel included expanding and remodeling of our kitchen, adding a new bathroom, remodeling an existing bathroom, new floors, new staircase, trims, doors and windows. He also completed our remodel well before the expected date. Can't thank Payman and his team enough. read more

Any type of construction/remodel can be daunting, not to mention a complete new build.  My husband and I did extensive research and met with a number of companies before selecting Bay Area Construction and Design.  Payman and team were phenomenal.  They were extremely professional, organized, responsive and the quality and detail of craftsmanship is above par. We ourselves, are highly organized, detail oriented individuals and our expectations are quite high (boarding OCD, maybe :)) and they definitely delivered.  With all major constructions, there's always unforeseen things that arise that greatly impact timeline and budget and there were definitely a few hurdles along the way.  What makes BAC&D stand out amongst others is their ability to assess the situation, make appropriate recommendations and quickly help to provide solutions without compromising their quality of work.  Payman runs a tight ship and his staff is a great representation of his leadership.  They were always professional, timely, and kept the work site extremely clean.  An important and critical part of his job is to ensure the project stays on target with regards to schedules and budget and Payman really excelled at both.  We couldn't have survived a new build without Payman and his team. Thank you for helping to make our dream home, a reality! We highly recommend Bay Area Construction and Design (and have) to anyone looking for professional, honest, high end construction services, no matter what the size. Our build included: demo of existing structure, new build of 3600 sqft home (5 bdrms, 5 baths), detached garage and 650 sqft in law unit read more

We did a complete remodel of our home. Everything was removed. Thanks to great project management by Payman and his team, along with excellent painters, tiling, stairing, and flooring, we ended up with a beautiful remodeled home! read more

We contracted Bay Area Design to redo our original 1930s kitchen. They were super punctual and gave us a great quote for the remodel. They didn't try to raise the price just because we are in the Bay Area, like a few other contractors we met. We were told 4 weeks, but they were actually able to complete it in 3 weeks! Our new kitchen is everything we'd ever hoped! The team was friendly, responsive & had no problem incorporating little extras we discussed! I would 100% recommend them for any projects you need completed. read more

Yet another great service from Payman and his firm/crew. Due to extreme weather in Bay Area we had some issues with heavy rain (broken sump pump and roof tiles). Payman had remodeled our house 4 years ago but as our POC in any construction related questions/concerned, we contacted him to seek guidance (referrals or contacts or ...). He sent his crew to check and fix the sump pump and connect us with a reliable roofer. Also there was water coming inside due to broken roof tiles. Payman's' crew opened up the ceiling from inside to check on anything (like fan in the bathroom) that might be the root cause. Everything was patched, fixed and painted and looks as good as new. I need to thank Gary and Dario specifically for being so caring and on top of everything. read more

We recently completed a home remodel with Bay Area Design and Construction and couldn't  be happier. From start to finish Payman and his team were professional and hardworking, always making sure we (the customers) were in the loop about what was happening each week with the project and the budget. From the beginning planning stages, Payman was not only very professional, but would also give ideas on what would and would not work with our design plans.  He has a fantastic way of explaining options and letting us field through the right options and possibilities. Payman and team worked with us the entire way through and was always very responsive and determined to make our project the best it could be.  We never had to wonder where things stood with the project as we had weekly meetings with Payman that took all the stress away. We were always in the loop and part of the process the whole time. Not only was communication superb, Payman and team beat the timing expectations for our project.  He said at the start he never misses a deadline and for us, having kids and being displaced during the project, this was huge.   We looked at many contractors and feel so lucky we found Payman and team. Payman was truly a partner with us; he listens, provided great suggests, is honest about pricing and timing, and is incredibly knowledgable. Remodeling (especially with young kids) is incredibly stressful.  Payman took a lot of that stress away and made this process a lot more enjoyable. We are so happy with the results and look forward to enjoying our updated home for years to come. If you are looking for contractor who is honest, trustworthy, talented, and has an great team, reach out to Payman and Bay Area Design and Construction. read more

This was the first remodel project we've done and Payman came highly recommended from a family member. The bid estimate that Payman put together was very accurate when all the final costs came through and he was very transparent about all the change orders along the way. Payman gave excellent guidance on where and when to buy all the necessary fixtures and finishes. He made a point to not start the project until the items were ready, this prevented delays and stalling the project. We also passed every inspection along the way. We were very satisfied with the time it took to finish our project, especially considering we added more items to the scope of the project. Whenever an issue would arise Payman would talk me through it during our weekly meetings and he would advise on the different options so I felt comfortable with the decision. Payman and his team are very responsive via phone, email, and text. I requested some special tile work be done on the backsplash in our kitchen and Payman was able to fulfill the request which was greatly appreciated. After project completion, Payman and is his team provided continued support in fixing possible problems and answering any questions. We love our new home and are so thankful for Payman and his team! read more

We used Bay Area Design and Construction for a large project in Los Gatos. Our project involved an expansion of living space, a complete remodel of the first floor, relocation of power and gas, and then a complete redo of the entire landscaping. This was a big job. And Payman and his crew delivered. Payman's entire team is great. Our project manager, Gary, was also just great. Between Payman and Gary the communication couldn't be better. Everything went exactly as they said it would go. And the work is very, very well done. Neither of them accept 2nd rate work and when we've pointed out small issues that need fixing, they're all over it. I trust Payman and Gary completely with my contractor/construction needs. We will use them again and I have no hesitation recommending them for any job bit or small. read more

We did a remodel with Bay Area Design and Construction and were so pleased with the work they did and the service they provided! From the start, Payman and his team were extremely organized, giving us all the information and guidance we needed on preparing and sourcing the finished materials. Once we got started, the team worked quickly and efficiently and kept things on track. We had a very strict deadline to be back in the house, and the team worked with us to ensure that it was met on time. The weekly meetings with the team to walk through changes that week, next steps, and any questions we had were so valuable and appreciated - it made us feel like we were in the loop at every step of the way! We were thrilled with how the work came out - very high quality. All of the specialists they brought in were top notch and great to work with. We will absolutely be coming back to Bay Area Design and Construction for our future projects! read more

Adding another 5-Star review for Payman and Bay Area Design & Construction. We did a demo and rebuild of our house, and Payman and his team did an amazing job throughout the entirety of the project. We interviewed a lot of contractors before we decided to go with Payman. A few things which set him apart from the other contractors we talked to were 1) How honest and upfront he was about the details of the construction, possible issues and cost overruns (There were other contractors whose pricing changed as we got deeper into the details of various finishes covered by the contract). 2) The quality and attention to detail he had in his past projects (we were able to see the houses for one of his previous clients, and another new construction he was selling). As the project started, Payman was really efficient at managing the project and communicating the details and deadlines. We had a weekly meeting with him to discuss progress, any issues which came up and also a list of decisions he needed from us to make sure the project stayed on track. He is also always reachable and available to answer any questions. His crew was also always professional and courteous and Payman made sure he dealt with the subcontractors so we didnt have to worry about dealing with multiple people. He has good connections and recommendations for various vendors which helped us select a lot of premium finishes at a discount. One example of how he is different from most contractors was this - during the construction, there was an issue with the tile work in one of the the bathrooms which we didnt notice until the entire bathroom was done. Payman actually pointed out the issue, acknowledged it was an error by one of his guys and redid the entire bathroom ( including paying for the new tiles without us asking! ) After the house was done and we moved in, Payman was always responsive and quick in resolving any issues which came up - There are always some kinks to be fixed in a new construction and he went above and beyond at times when he wasn't really required to. I will highly recommend Payman and his team and if we ever did another construction or remodel project, we would go with him again!! read more

We started by interviewing nearly a dozen contractors and decided on Bay Area Design & Construction. What really struck us was Payman's professional demeanor, timeliness, and responsiveness. The goal we had was an addition to our existing home, originally built in the 1940s. We wanted to have the best of both worlds - retain some of the original character while updating the home with modern conveniences. Payman and his team - Alan, Dario, Claudia, etc. were able to help us execute that vision. We are a young family and did not want to be out of the home too long. Payman quoted us 22 weeks and they finished ahead of schedule! (Note: Everyone we spoke with warned us that the project would be delayed and that this schedule was not possible.) We started demolition in January and had many days of rain. The first few weeks, there was not much progress because of the rain. Despite that, his team and various contractors worked as necessary to catch up and even finished early! Our neighbors commented that the team was stellar - professional in when they started work and cleaned up nightly. We were able to see this on a weekly basis with weekly meetings. Payman and his team provided a summary of what was done each week and what would be done the following week. If you like a sense of 'order' or appreciate a detailed plan, then this is the team for you. Our addition was ~500 square feet that included more common area, master bedroom and bathroom. The common area improvements opened up the living, kitchen and dining area. We put in a large kitchen island and 2nd pantry. The cabinetry done by Felipe matched our existing cabinet style perfectly. The team was able to preserve much of our existing stone and did a marvelous job. The electrician replaced all the existing lights and made sure that the wiring was updated. Payman provided recommendations to various vendors for stone, tile, fixtures, etc. This was all very easy to contact the representatives and set up times to view the samples. They vendors had designers who were able to provide ideas and layouts for the work. It does take time, but as they say, you get what you put in. We could not have been happier with the addition. Both my husband and I happily recommend Bay Area Design & Construction without reservation. read more

We completed our remodeling project with Payman and his team in August 2021. Our project included a room extension and a covered porch. We had a very good experience working with Payman. The work was completed on time and to our satisfaction. We reached out to Payman after seeing the great reviews he had received on yelp and after working with him we can attest to all those positive reviews. We are enjoying our remodel and look forward to working with him in the future. read more

Payman and his team were amazing! We were a relatively small remodel job, but he never made us feel that way, was always available for any of our questions and requests, and we are more than happy with his work. We had the following done to our house prior to moving in: 1. Replaced our roof 2. Refinished our floors 3. Ripped out a built in entertainment center 4. Removed a built in microwave above the stove and replaced with a vent hood As with any remodeling job, we discovered things that needed to be done during it (one example was a large vent that the entertainment center was covering up), but with Payman's great communication, we were able to come up with a very affordable solution to cover it up that didn't add any additional time to our job. We are now happily moved in to our new home, and will definitely be in touch with Payman in the future for all of our house remodel needs. read more
