What a great team! My primary contact was Rudolfo who coordinated the various craftsmen who worked to complete the project. Every team member was friendly, deeply respectful and meticulous in their work. As with all remodels we encountered some challenges but Rudolfo always had a solution and helped me to make good economical choices that will be beneficial in the long run too. Rudy is a master craftsman and was able to turn every one of my "do you think we could..." ideas into reality. Last his pricing was well below other estimates. I will hire this team anytime I have a chance- you won't be disappointed if you do too! read more

We looked extensively at different contracting companies to take on our kitchen remodel. After meeting with Jonathan to go over the scope of the project it was clear GCE was the right fit. Jonathan was up front, competitive with his pricing and responsive leading up to the project. We were very thankful that we did move forward with GCE. Rudy and the team did not cut corners and were extremely detail oriented in their craft. So much so that they were pro active in adding in outlets that we had not planned for because it was more functional for the space. The team was also very respectful of the areas outside of the kitchen, creating barriers and covering our entire furniture to keep the space clean. I highly recommend GCE for any construction you're looking to do in your home. read more

We had a great experience with GCE construction. We mainly worked with Rodolfo in the South Bay as well as communicating via phone and email with Jonathan. I was nervous about hiring a contractor as there as so many horror stories, but Jonathan and Rodolfo were so easy to work with that my fears subsided after working with them. Do not hesitate to use GCE construction! 1. Communication was prompt and helpful. Our estimate was given under a week and the total cost was competitive with other companies. We had two other contractors that did not even show up to give an estimate. Rodolfo came the next day after I spoke with him. He took his time looking and measuring everything in our kitchen. 2. Project timeline was accurate. It took about 2 weeks to completely renovate our kitchen. Rodolfo even added a few extras like the window feature and hiding our water line to the refrigerator. He also worked on the weekend to help expedite the project and so I did not have to take so many days off of work. 3. Rodolfo explained all the work that he was doing so we knew what to expect. He also sealed off the entire kitchen so debris/dust did not get into the rest of the house. This was a big deal for me with asthma and allergies. 4. We are planning to use this company for any other renovations in our house. read more

We have done a couple of different projects with GCE Construction and have been very happy with their services. The biggest project that we just finished with them was a full kitchen renovation and flooring update throughout the house. Jonathan was wonderful coordinating the project and keeping us informed of progress and any questions. The kitchen project was a large project as it involved updating our 1940's kitchen including plumbing and electrical to current standards. Jonathan helped coordinate all of the inspections with the city and was very professional. There was no surprise cost, except for items out of their control everything was in budget and completed timely. I've included before and after pictures of our kitchen renovation so you can see their wonderful work. They installed all the cabinets, did all the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, painted the walls, installed new flooring, baseboards and door frames throughout the house. They even connected us with a wonderful architect to help us go through the permitting process in Marin. We will be sure to use GCE for any future projects that we have with the house as their team is very professional, trustworthy, reliable, do great work and available to offer advise. This is a rare find in the Bay Area where contractors are often flakey and unreliable. read more

I was referred to GCE by my sisters as my partner and I are in the process of installing a new building and further developing our property. Jonathan has been tremendously helpful throughout this process. He is straightforward and very transparent with the process and pricing. Construction projects can be very daunting and so I highly recommend contacting GCE for your home renovation needs. Thank you! read more

I wanted to make sure to leave a review of Jonathan and GCE Construction for their excellence in communication and follow up. I asked many different companies for an estimate on a small job (replacing a shower pan) and I was surprised that Jonathan was one of the only companies to not only make sure I received the estimate, but to also follow up with me to see if I had made a decision on which company to use. I feel that it really shows the organization and professionalism of how a company is run when they practice good customer service and consistent communication. Thank you for running the business the way do you do, I wish more service companies were like you. read more

This Company is one of my absolute favorites. Working with GCE Construction was the most enjoyable, pleasant, courteous experience, I've ever had with a contracting company -- we've used them twice and will absolutely use them again, when our next project comes around. Rudy was our main contact, and his attention to detail, punctuality, kind nature and dedication to customer satisfaction are noteworthy. He just wants it done right and in a way that will make us happy. We had our kitchen counters, backsplash and pull out drawers installed, then we had a fireplace, cabinet and floating shelves added to our family room. All of it looks exquisite and is exactly what we wanted and pictured. They are professionals, and they are good at their jobs. 5 stars for these guys! read more

We hired GCE Construction to tile our front porch and were very happy with them from start to finish. All calls and texts were returned promptly, their bid was competitive, their team was friendly, they offered design advice on things we were unsure of and they completed the job quickly. We're happy to have anyone over to our home to see the job they did for us. We give Jonathan and his team at GCE a 5-star rating! read more

From start to finish they were very professional, courteous, and efficient. The bathtub had a leak that caused some water damage so they repaired the issue and proceeded to complete the bathroom renovation. The bathroom had not been updated in 30 years so changes were in order. The two men working on it were incredibly efficient and still made sure to do the job right. They always made sure to put tarps where they would walk through to ensure we aren't left with a mess, wore masks the entire time, and cleaned up any mess they made in the backyard (most often leaving it better than when they came). Initially we worried about how long we would have to go without a shower but they took that into consideration and made a great effort to complete that first. Needless to say, we are incredibly happy with the results and the time frame! read more

My wife and I have done quite a bit of remodeling in four different homes. We've had good contractors and not so good contractors. We hired GCE Construction, Jonathan and Rudy, to do a major home remodeling in Marin County and had the best experience ever with a remodeling job. They are not only reasonable in price, but also honest, precise, conscientious, easy to deal with, and stand by their work, returning to do touch up work very quickly. And, here is the best part: they finish on time or even earlier, something you rarely find with contractors. If you are looking to remodel, you should definitely give them a call. read more

DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. OMG!!! Be very careful with this company. Very dishonest people. Yes, they did a remodel in my house and after being paid in full, the guy Eddie is running an scam by coming up with receipts and demanding payment. I paid the job timely and in full. This guy is dangerous. I don't want anyone else going through what I am going through with this company. My advice, if you hire any other company make sure you take good pictures of "any" damages because even when people seems to be nice.... you never know what people really is when they are desperate for money. I learned this the hard way "this guy doesn't seem to go away" read more

We had a great experience with GCE Construction. Jonathan was very responsive and professional. We had a water damaged floor upstairs and downstairs. GCE Construction was very familiar with the process of coordinating with insurance companies, as well as explaining the process to us. Jonathan's communication was excellent through the process, and followed through with everything he said he was going to do. GCE Construction is a very reliable company and very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend their work to anyone in the Bay Area. read more

Jonathan, Eddie, and the rest of his staff are professional, flexible, and genuinely care about the quality of their work. The project flowed as expected, and if there was a delay, it was due in part to us ordering finishing materials or dealing with transit times from various vendors. Even under those circumstances, the GCE Construction crew were able to work on other parts of the project. From start to finish, Jonathan stayed in contact with us to give us updates, times to expect his staff, and make recommendations based on what we were looking to do. We would highly recommend GCE Construction, without any reservations, to consider for any of your remodeling projects. Thank you for the finished product, we look forward to working with you in the future. read more

After a lot of shopping around and interviewing of contractors, I selected GCE Construction for a major basement remodel in my 100 year old house. The project included design and construction of new walls, installation of ceilings, door fabrication, electrical wiring, painting, tile and an outside retaining wall. I could not be more pleased with the final product, them and their process. They always showed up as promised and came in under budget. Professional management, skilled workers and excellent customer interaction. They engineered a beautiful, functional space with careful questioning and great suggestions that helped me realize my vision. read more

We were doing alot of different updates to our home in Sunnyvale in order to get it ready to sell. Jonathon and team were fantastic!! They are quick to reply, offer competitive pricing and are experienced and really did a great job for us. Next time we need anything they will be our first phone call. They installed beautiful tile in our kitchen and bathroom. They also tiled our previously bricked fireplace and it looks amazing. A final tile job by GCE of our front porch with large 32 inch tiles finished off that job. Over the years the home had experienced a variety of texturing in different rooms and they suggested we retexture the entire home and took the time to find the texture type we preferred. They worked with our timing of other subcontractors so we could complete our home on time. I was thrilled with GCE and cannot recommend them higher! Sue Miller read more

Outstanding in every way! Do not hesitate to hire this team--they embody that rare combination of highly skilled craftsmanship, reliability, responsiveness, honesty, and thoughtfulness. We've worked with a lot of different contracting teams over the years and when we moved back to the Bay Area from the Midwest, we interviewed several different contracting companies. We liked everything about GCE and hired them to update the kitchen and bathroom of our in-law apartment. For that job, Jonathan was our initial contact person and Rudy's team did the work. Not only did the place come out even nicer than we anticipated, but the work was completed EARLY (unheard of for a contracting team!) at a reasonable rate. We were so impressed that we hired them to return a few months later and remodel our home. This time Jonathan's team did the work. What we'd envisioned as a relatively modest job involving bathroom and kitchen updating, new floors and some small updates morphed into a much bigger job when we discovered we had no foundation under our kitchen and bathroom, hidden 19-teens electrical work, crumbling pipes, and no insolation (the house was originally a 1905 vacation cottage). Jonathan was incredibly kind and creative about keeping our unanticipated expenses down and we were so grateful. The team was super-reliable and diligent, and each day we saw real progress. The craftsmanship was first-rate and our home is now beautiful, thanks to GCE. We liked them so much that we have now hired them for a third project. No need to look any further--we are certain this is the best construction company in California. We highly recommend Jonathan, Rudy and their entire team. You cannot find nicer, more responsible, reliable and talented contractors than them! read more

After my initial review and a couple months, Eddie got back in touch, apologized for the situation and offered a discount to do the work we first discussed. Eddie with his guys came out, did the work over several days and things turned out looking great the way we wanted. read more

If you need renovations or something built inside your house don't even hesitate to call these guys. We've worked a lot of companies in the past, but these guys are the one company that has been able to help us out through all of the complications. They had great crew that was very professional and friendly. The owners, Joseph and Eddie, are standup people. They are locals, ambitious, hardworking, and are very personable. Both a pleasure to work with. Definitely consider GCE construction for your next home remodel! read more

This is my go-to for all my Construction and Rehab needs. The owners Joseph and Eddie are honest, reliable, and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family. Give them a call you won't regret it. read more

I wasn't too sure about hiring this business to do construction at my parents' house due to the fact that they didn't have many reviews compared to other general contractors in the SF bay area, but I can honestly say, we couldn't have made a better choice! Our house was a rental and we were having tenant/landlord issues, but Jonathan was knowledgeable, reliable, honest, up-front about costs, and so easy to work with. He took the time to go over everything on the contract to make sure we understood everything so we were on the same page. He was there when he said he was going to be there and when he couldn't, his partner, Eddie took over the work. When given a deadline, Jonathan did his best to meet it and gave us suggestions to help us deal with issues that arose during the work. He obtained permits, met with building inspectors to get them signed off, and contacted a housing inspector to inform him of timelines for work to be completed. On top of all this, their work was superb. Their work consisted of rebuilding a shower in the bathroom, including tiling the tub surround and installing fixtures. He also painted the entire bathroom. Our dryer duct was not installed to code, so he routed it to the outside and installed it to code. The bathroom window was nonfunctional and was in such bad condition that it had to be replaced. It is not a standard window so he figured out what hardware could work to make it functional. He found a local place that could build it, ordered it, informed the inspector of the timeline, and when it came in, he installed it. As we do not live in the area, we could not just drop by whenever little things had to be done. When there was a problem with the toilet being clogged (probably due a previous contractor), he took care of that. When I asked him to check for leaks at the windows and caulk around them, he did that. When the tenants complained that there was no shower curtain, he installed it for us. When a building inspector said we needed additional smoke alarms, he installed those. What more can I say? If you're looking for a reliable and honest GC who does great, cost-effective work (and I don't think I need to tell you that these are rare in the construction business), look no further. Hire GCE Construction!!! You won't be disappointed. read more
