We had the pleasure of working with DevArt 8 Builders and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of our project. My objective was to have a new outdoor living area that consisted of a large redwood deck, pergola, and new exterior door leading out to the space. Our contractor, Michael, led the charge. As new homeowners, we had a lot of questions about the process and he both understood our concerns and anticipated our needs throughout the project. His ability to weigh the trade-offs of a large project while keeping our interests at the forefront was nothing short of exceptional. Michael was always on hand to address our concerns promptly, ensuring that our voices were heard and respected throughout the process. The building team, (shout out Natcho, Gerry, and Alex) was like watching a well-coordinated basketball team that has played together for many years. Their teamwork and professionalism turned what could have been a stressful experience into a seamlessly executed and fun project. It was genuinely refreshing to see such a well-formed team bring our vision of beautiful outdoor space to life. For those considering DevArt 8 Builders for their next project, I highly recommend keeping up with their efficient lines of communication. This expedites the process by keeping everyone informed in a timely manner. The team has a nice system using WhatsApp, which simplifies tracking payments, schedules, and progress, making the whole process transparent and manageable. Thank you, Michael, Natcho, Gerry, and Alex, for your outstanding work and for making this project such a success! read more

We initially contacted 4-5 different contractors to remodel our entire 3,100sq.ft home including the kitchen, bathrooms, removing some structural walls, installing new windows and doors, updating exterior, etc. They were all very professional, accommodating, and even provided competitive estimates but we ended up landing on working with Ray and Devart8 Builders. Ray was very easy going and made us feel comfortable throughout the construction process. He always took the time to meet and talk with us through the process and would always provide his honest and reasonable opinions. They ran all the permits and took care of the project in the expected time frame. They provide good quality work and they're fast. We even had a few unexpected issues come up but Ray and his team were always there to help and do things right. I can't stress enough how much of a pleasure it was working with Ray and Devart8 Builders. They are always on your side and willing to help whenever they can. Shout out to Johan for always being reliable and available to help too! Overall, we're super happy with how the house turned out. Very glad that we chose Devart8 Builders for our project and we will definitely be using them again in the future and referring them out to our friends and family. Thanks again to everyone at Devart8 Builders! read more

Our home had that "we'll deal with it later" feeling for years. Nothing was terrible, but nothing really worked together either. At some point we realized we kept avoiding having people over because of it, which is when we finally decided to do something. We reached out to DevArt8 Builders without a super clear plan, and that was actually what helped. Ray didn't rush us or try to turn it into a massive project right away. She helped us figure out what actually matters first and what would make the biggest difference day to day. We ended up doing a full home remodeling in San Jose, including opening up parts of the layout and updating finishes throughout. What I appreciated most is that it never felt chaotic. There was always a sense of direction. If something needed a decision, Ray explained it in a simple way so we didn't feel overwhelmed. The crew was consistent, respectful, and didn't make the house feel like a disaster zone the whole time, which honestly made a big difference while living through it. Now the house just feels right. It's cleaner, more open, and everything flows better. It's not over the top, just a big improvement in how we actually live in the space. Really glad we went with them. read more

We recently completed a significant renovation project at our home where we added a new living room and a bathroom and extended two existing rooms. The experience with the construction team from DevArt8 was exceptional right form the start to finish. All through the project, the team was punctual and gave me up to date details on where the project was heading. They were consistently on time, and the project was completed within the stipulated time frame. Not only did they meet the deadline, but they also stayed within our budget, . This level of professionalism and reliability is truly commendable. Another aspect that impressed us was their handling of all the necessary permits. We did have a few back-and-forth with the city around setback requirements but the team took care of every detail, ensuring that all legal and regulatory requirements were met, which saved us a lot of time and stress. The quality of the work was excellent, and the final result well exceeded our expectations. The new living room and extended rooms have transformed our home, providing us with more space and a beautiful living area. read more

So, I recently teamed up with Ray and Eli from Devart8 Construction for a big remodel of my kitchen, bathroom, and living room, and I gotta say, I'm pretty darn happy with how everything turned out. Right from the start, Ray and Eli made everything feel easy. They handled all the permit stuff like it was no big deal, which was a huge weight off my shoulders. When it came to the actual work, they got it done without causing too much chaos. I mean, tearing down walls and all that can be pretty messy, but they kept things pretty tidy. What I really appreciated was how they kept me in the loop the whole time. If I had a question or a concern, they were always there to chat about it. And now? Well, my kitchen is looking awesome, with all these cool new features and tons of storage space. The bathroom feels like a fancy hotel, and the living room is way more spacious than before. Overall, I'd totally recommend Ray, Eli, and the Devart8 crew to anyone looking to spruce up their place. They know their stuff, and they're just good people to work with. read more

We hired Devart8 for our kitchen remodel and had a very positive overall experience. They were well-organized from the start, highly responsive, and paid great attention to detail throughout the project. Any issues that came up were addressed promptly--usually within a day or two--which we really appreciated. Ray, Joan and Carlos very always available for questions. Any construction has small hiccups but the way this team handled was exceptional. There was one instance when the water heater and furnace were not getting gas due to valve shutoff and Joan drove during Christmas day to fix the issues. Ray made sure that every single thing was taken care of to the highest standard. He wouldnt give up on quality and insisted we go slow in some cases to achieve that. Our kitchen looks amazing and extremely functional , thanks to Devart8. Even if i have any issues down the lane, I am confident that Devart8 team will take care of it. Overall, we're very happy with the results and would strongly recommend them to anyone considering a remodel. read more

I hired DevArt8 Construction to build a 600 sq. ft. addition to my home. Their proposal was easy to understand and made sense, unlike some other bids I received. The project leader, Ray, is incredibly knowledgeable and always had great ideas and suggestions during the process - from design and getting the permits to construction. As with any project this size, he always had solutions for all modifications I requested and usually had more than one option for each suggestion he made. Even at the end, when the construction was complete, and we were working through the punch list, there was no resistance. Everyone is impressed with the beautiful addition I have, and the transition on the inside of the house flows so well that they often can't tell where the old ended and the new started. I recommend them to anyone looking to have construction or remodel work done. read more

Just wrapped up a bathroom remodel with Devart8, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Our small bathroom had plumbing issues, and we wanted to expand it while fixing the problems. The project took about 9 weeks and stayed well within our budget. Everyone we encountered at Devart8, including the workers, was friendly and professional. We were fortunate to have Ray as our Project Manager and Jose as our Craftsman. Ray was always prompt in addressing any concerns, and Jose's craftsmanship, especially his tiling work, was exceptional. Despite the inevitable unexpected issues that arise during renovations, the process was remarkably smooth, with minor hiccups quickly resolved. Devart8 proved to be an ethical and reliable company, dedicated to customer satisfaction. We've already recommended them to friends and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again! read more

The crew came to my home to remodel our kitchen, bathrooms, garage and others. They worked fast and helped me in making some design decisions on the spot. Impressively, they took the time listen to my desires and visualize for themselves what the plan might look like. Ray offered helpful suggestions; most that we ultimately went with. The lady I talked to on the phone was great in communicating the work planning and kept us all updated. We did a video zoom estimate. The cost turned out to be quite fair, but I was concerned about the cost before starting. After watching all the work done, I was super happy :) Im planing to hire Devart8 builders for some more work in the future and; thank you, Ray, Johan, Sebstian, and Wilder, for your outstanding work and for making this project such a success!!! read more

After doing some research on reviews we stumbled upon Devart8 Construction. Ray responded very quickly and shortly thereafter scheduled time to meet at our home to go over our project. Ray was patient with our timeline and gave us time to consider the bid and decide whether to proceed with the project. We decided to do a full bathrooms and kitchen remodel and other projects (electrical, recess lighting, paint, flooring, fireplace, stair flooring, insulation). Ray was very communicative and highly reasonable with his pricing even as we tacked on additional projects along the way. Devart8 does great work and we would be happy to use him again! We love our new bathrooms and kitchen, especially in time for the baby which we are expecting any day now. read more

They began by designing a superb 2-bedroom, 2-bath floor plan spanning 810 sq. ft., and Ray, the team leader, proved to be an invaluable guide throughout the entire process. Ray and the DevArt 8 team expertly navigated the permit acquisition process, ensuring full compliance with all regulations. They ran and managed the project smoothly, from the earthworks, foundation, framing, and roofing to interior and exterior finishes, even assisting in the design of our outdoor space. Handling inspections and gaining city approval, DevArt 8 truly excelled. My heartfelt thanks to the entire team for a job well done! read more

DevArt8 Construction is the best! We have used other contractors and had nightmares. The quality of the work is without comparison. Workers showed up every day on time, and we saw daily progress. Our entire house was renovated, and they finished the job week early. The workers were completely respectful of our home. After the walk-though, any minor item we identified was quickly addressed and corrected. They are already working at my mom house :) Quality and personal service are unbelievable; I would recommend DevArt8 Construction to everyone! read more
