    We live in Palo Alto and our house had that late 80s vibe that never really aged well. I'm extremely particular about details. I notice tile lines. I notice gaps in trim. I notice crooked outlets. During our home remodeling in Palo Alto, I walked through almost daily looking for flaws. Not in an aggressive way. Just... watching. The thing is, I didn't find much to complain about. The crew worked steadily. Ray answered questions without getting defensive. That alone builds trust. The house now feels bright and clean but still comfortable. It doesn't look like a trend. It just looks right.

    We had a great experience working with Ray, Joan, Sebastian, Carlos, Jason, and others at DevArt8 on our garage (and more) remodel. They completely fixed up our garage walls which were unfinished and in bad shape, added recessed lights, installed an electric car charger, installed additional electrical outlets, replaced the backyard door, painted everything, concealed *all* exposed wires, ran Ethernet throughout our house, installed ceiling fans and recessed lights inside our house, and much more! Throughout the process, the crew was very professional, careful, courteous, and performed high quality work. If there were any aspects to the job I wanted to be redone, it was quickly done. Ray made sure we had great communication throughout the process by setting up WhatsApp chats for easy discussions. I can't wait to use DevArt8 for more work around our house and we have heartily recommended them to our friends already.

    We hired DevArt8 for an ADU project in San Jose after spending a good amount of time speaking with a few different builders, and I'm really glad we went with them. A lot of the other companies we talked to came across as overly sales-focused or gave answers that felt vague whenever we asked about the actual process. With DevArt8, it felt different right away. They were straightforward, clear, and seemed to actually understand both the construction side and everything that goes into building an ADU in San Jose. From the beginning, communication was one of the biggest things that stood out to us. They explained things in a way that was easy to follow, kept us updated, and didn't make the whole project feel more stressful than it needed to be. That mattered a lot because taking on an ADU build is a big decision, and we wanted to feel like we were working with a team that knew what they were doing and respected our time. The finished ADU came out beautifully. The quality of the work is obvious when you walk through it. It doesn't feel like a rushed add-on or something thrown together in the backyard. It truly feels like a comfortable, well-designed small home with thoughtful details and a clean, modern finish. You can tell they cared about the end result and not just about getting the job done. Overall, we had a very positive experience with DevArt8 and felt confident in their team throughout the project. If you're looking for ADU builders in San Jose and want a company that communicates clearly, understands the process, and delivers a high-quality final product, they were a really solid choice for us.

    Ray, Johan and Team (engineers, electricians, and others) helped update our ADU. From beginning to end the Team worked with our best interest in mind and on our behalf including multiple visits to the planning department to ensure planners understood the work. Also from beginning to final clean up and touch up, all went out of their way to ensure the project was completed as agreed and to our expectations -- Thank you. Ray's experience coupled with his construction and engineering knowledge proved indispensable and the value adds he authorized were significant and appreciated.

    We renovated two full bathrooms and a guest half bath in our home with DevArt8 Builders, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Since we stayed in the house during construction, the team worked on one bathroom at a time, which made things much easier for us. Before choosing Ray, we got several estimates from other companies in the Melno Park. While their quote wasn't the lowest, we liked that they offered a full-service approach where both the designer and the construction team work together under one company. That turned out to be a great decision because the process was smooth and organized from day one. Hila, our designer, was amazing. She really listened to what we wanted and understood our style right away. She brought creative ideas that fit our home perfectly and helped us choose beautiful materials for each bathroom. Johan, our project manager, was professional, reliable, and always kept us updated. He handled scheduling and small issues quickly so nothing ever turned into a problem. The entire crew was respectful, worked clean, and made sure our home stayed as comfortable as possible while the work was being done. Even when a couple of materials were delayed or a fixture arrived damaged, Johan took care of everything without any stress on our end. The project finished right on schedule and within the agreed budget. The quality of the work is excellent and the bathrooms look stunning. We're so happy we chose DevArt8 and highly recommend them to anyone planning a remodel in the Menlo park and the bay.

    We used DevArt8 for updates to the main bath and kitchen of our (new-to-us) 1960s era home. The designer we worked with, Liran, brought her own ideas and expertise while still making the process flexible and collaborative. The final design meshed nicely with the surrounding existing elements. I had worked with the project manager, Johan, once before on a previous home. He was the reason we went to DevArt8 for this new project. He is a strong communicator and a creative problem solver. For example, during demo we learned that the soffit above the shower was hollow, and he recommended we knock it out for some free added height. Knowing we have young kids, he also suggested swapping out the shower fixture we had chosen for a hydro-rail in the same finish, which has since been very useful during the kids' bathtime. The subcontractors he used were all professional and detail-oriented as well. The project stayed on budget and largely on schedule, with the exception of some doors we were replacing. They had a long lead time to begin with, plus there were some refinishing delays on the one that needed to be stained to match others in the same hallway. In the end the final products look great and were worth the wait. Overall, we have been very pleased with the updates to these two areas we use on a daily basis.

    After buying an old house in my dream location, I had to find a GC who could help me build my dream home. I talked to no less than 8 GCs and after looking at the proposals I decided to go with Devart8 Builders, and it was arguably one of the best decisions I ever made. I am a "measure twice and cut once" type of guy so early planning was a big part of my selection criteria. From the first day, Devart8 set themselves apart from the others because their quote went into a level of detail that gave me confidence that their numbers were rooted in reality and not hand-wavy estimates that could balloon over time and destroy my budget. As someone whose day time job involved planning and executing on large projects, I was quite concerned about stories of GCs taking twice as long and costing twice as much so the planning details were very important for me. I also appreciated the fact that Ray (their owner) was super transparent about the areas where cost could potentially spill over and what the upper bound for that may look like. But above all, I loved the fact that their estimates were very formulaic and allowed me to reasonably price out any changes I wanted to make to the original proposal. Overall, their transparency in their process allowed me to put together a plan that gave me the highest ROI for my budget. Next came the execution, which involved tearing down a 3300sqft home and rebuilding it into a 4400sqft home. The demolition went fast so we started the construction, and this is where I want to give them shoutouts for their craft. The structural engineer on this project happened to be my cousin so I was fortunate enough to have someone who can keep a close eye on the work and give me an objective evaluation of the construction quality. My cousin was quite impressed with Devart8 and he especially appreciated how they reached out to him for structural details in areas where they could have arguably taken short cuts (at potentially lower cost to themselves) but Sebastian (my project manager) made sure that no suboptimal choices were made at the expense of quality. I often feel that the biggest risk to craft comes from what happens when no one is looking. It's the stuff that happens out of sight and that is deeper in the foundations that concerns me the most. With Devart8, I always felt that they could be trusted to maintain a really high bar for quality at every level of the project and that was something I felt gave me peace of mind then and still gives me peace of mind living in this house today. I actually got to know a lot of the guys over the course of the project and I eventually learned that most of them are people of faith (I know that sadly doesn't always mean much these days) and it was refreshing to see how honest and forthcoming they were in every conversation I had with them. My foreman Johani was a rockstar and he was probably a little stressed at times from my obsession with timelines and such, but I couldn't have asked for someone a better person to oversee the day-to-day for this project. We broke ground on my house in June and I moved in with my family 9 months later. Objectively speaking, this was a month or so behind schedule but I always felt the original timelines we had were hyper ambitious to begin with so I was thrilled with how fast we completed the project. I'm also very proud of the fact that we were able to keep the project 2.5M construction project just 25k over budget, which speaks to both how good the original estimates were and how well managed the entire project was end-to-end. The project drew the admiration of many neighbors for how quickly it was completed, and they actually got at least two more gigs in my community following the completion of my house. All in all, I strongly recommend Devart8 because they were truthful, knowledgeable, reliable and highly dedicated to their craft.

We went with Greenberg because they knew how to do modern houses and how to deal with the City. We went from horrible hideous uninsulated shack to a gorgeous gem where we can Age in Place! Every single person who has walked in says, "WOW! It's beautiful! It's incredible what you guys have done!" We have friends & professionals who have built/renovated many houses all exclaim what a high-end luxe job this was! We could not have done this without Greenberg. In particular, we worked with the wonderful Ohad Sherion throughout the process who managed all the subs, city departments involved, neighbors, vendors, etc. Our attention was elsewhere as we were very busy with our work, caring for our elders, so it was invaluable that Ohad kept us up-to-date throughout the process. Ohad was able to make our wishes come true, including bathrooms with custom tiles that were no longer available--so he found us an artisan who recreated them by hand. To make the small space look and feel spacious, we went with an open concept which left few walls to hang art. From the beginning, we worked with Ohad to create a design to showcase our art collection. Ohad is persistent and works to get projects not only functional but beautiful. For example, we have a unique front door which needed to be tweaked and he patiently worked with subs to make it happen. My husband was thrilled that we ended up with a house with superb insulation (including sound), up-to-date plumbing, electrical, and lighting systems. He feels great about the new roof and solar panels. But I am in love with the amazing personal details that make this place a home (finally). We are so grateful to Ohad. Go with Greenberg to make your dream come true!

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.

Of course, with a full home remodel there are always unforeseen problems. When we hit a major delay due to the HVAC subcontractor, Aaron and Alex worked incredibly hard to resolve the issues and advocate for us. Even though those HVAC problems cost us about six weeks, the overall project still came in right on schedule. Our kitchen designer, Michele, was fantastic and brought our vision to life perfectly, and the bathrooms were designed beautifully as well. The crew--Angel, Asher, Enrique, and Donato--were professional, hard-working, and a pleasure to have in our home.

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.

Going into this, we were absolutely terrified--especially after hearing so many horror stories about year-long delays on major renovations.

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 ultimately decided to expand the project into a full remodel, and even with the additional scope, the updated price remained very reasonable and close to what we had originally expected to spend. Once the project started, everything moved quickly and smoothly through each phase. Communication was timely and responsive, which helped keep the project moving efficiently from start to finish.

One thing we really appreciated was how they handled changes along the way. When our requirements shifted, they adapted easily and offered great feedback on ways to simplify our design to save time and money. The team showed up on time each morning, cleaned up before leaving every day, and were always respectful and courteous. They made a point to ask questions and check in to make sure everything was being done to our satisfaction. Their attention to detail showed in the finishing touches, and whenever something wasn't quite right, they were more than willing to fix it. The project finished on schedule and mostly on budget. The final result looks wonderful and the quality is solid (the photos speak for themselves). If you're looking for a reliable team for your remodel, I'd happily recommend Brother & Brother Builders!
