Having worked with many contractors over the years, the difference with Frank was clear from the start: he's collaborative and operates with old school integrity. When we didn't know what flooring or railing would work best in our space, he didn't just shrug and demand we tell him exactly what we wanted (like a previous contractor did) -- he actually guided us through the options. This made this project feel completely different. The crew was punctual and polite, the price was fair, and communication was seamless over text, calls, in-person check-ins. Frank kept us updated on everything: inspections, deliveries, material orders, even making sure the permit was printed on the right size paper for the city. For permits and drawings, he connected us with Omid, who handled all follow-up with Oakland so we never had to worry about it. Having managed the headache of permits myself in the past, that service alone was worth a lot. When we found more rot than expected on the balcony, Frank was upfront about what needed replacing and the added cost. No surprises, no pressure, just honest information. My goal with this project was to get it done ONCE, RIGHT. I'm glad we chose Frank to make this happen. I watched each step of the work from my office window and am confident in the quality. The balcony is sturdy and beautiful, and now we'll actually use it!

His team does beautiful, high quality work and is someone we've really come to trust. He and his crew are punctual, efficient, and reliable. They show up when they say they will, work hard throughout the day, and clean up at the end of every day. That has made living through multiple renovation projects so much easier. He's also always been fair and transparent with us. Additionally if we notice something after the work is done or there's a small issue that needs to be addressed, he's responsive about coming back and making it right. Our bathroom turned out beautifully, and we're so happy with the finished space. There were a lot of details involved, and his team did a great job bringing everything together. (& I value attention to detail in almost an OCD way lol) The fact that we've continued to hire him for project after project probably says it best. Having a contractor you trust in your home is invaluable, and we really appreciate the relationship we've built with him. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family and will absolutely work with him again.

VENOVA was extremely responsive and said they were willing to do this, when a lot of other companies said they had minimums in the several thousand of dollars and wouldn't come out for smaller jobs.

He and Pablo came by the next week and put plinth blocks on all my door frames that had gaps in them, as well as completing a few other small items. They were on time, courteous, and cleaned up before they left. I am very happy with the quality of their work and will likely use them in the future for larger renovations.

We were so pleased with the experience that we ended up adding a few smaller projects in our kitchen as well. Their pricing was reasonable, communication was excellent, and they delivered on their commitments. Most importantly, they earned our trust through their honesty, reliability, and attention to detail.

Eli Israel and Integrity Remodeling is that contractor. I have had the good fortune of working with Eli and his team on two projects over the last 10 years. One was a major remodel/addition, the second project most recently was a minor project that was very impactful to my home and family. Both projects were completed to my 100% satisfaction. The cost and scope of the project was clearly outlined at the outset, there was open communication throughout the project and the everything was finished on time and on budget. Just as importantly, Eli and his team are clean courteous and professional. My family and I lived through the remodel/addition and at the end of the day the house/job site was left in a clean condition, and Eli's team were always on time and professional.

We began in January 2020, unaware of the impending Covid outbreak. The project was slated to be ~12 months but Eli's team had to deal with a number of extenuating factors which delayed us to 16 months. Eli's team did a tremendous job navigating a complex and dynamic situation. I highly recommend Eli and Integrity Remodeling for a few reasons: 1. Quality. The quality of the work is outstanding. I fully trust that when the IR team approached any aspect of our project they would do so with a deep commitment to quality. 2. Communication. It's nerve-racking to approach remodeling, which demands making decisions across hundreds of elements, most of which we didn't have any expertise in. The IR team was great at helping us understand the process, what was needed when, and the factors that we should understand about decision making. 3. Expectation setting. Eli is up front and transparent about budgets and timing, which is so important to plan, both financially and logistically. 4. Great team. Eli and his team are a joy to work with. Even amidst hard moments in our project, we felt like partners. Eli works with great subs and they were all committed to doing an excellent job on our project. You'll be in excellent hands with Eli and Integrity Remodeling!

They started in mid-December and finished by April 7, earlier than we anticipated, and that timeline included a major setback: an 80-foot redwood tree fell on the house during a Christmas storm. The roof was crushed, part of the structure separated, and we lost power for nearly a week. It was a stressful situation, and they handled it. They repaired all of the damage and still completed the full project within budget. That alone says a lot about how they run their jobs. Or Haim, the owner, is very communicative and genuinely cares about making sure everything meets expectations. That level of involvement made a difference. The fantastic onsite team was led by Jesus, who treated the project like it was his own home. He was thoughtful, detail-oriented, and clearly took pride in the work. We would absolutely hire Gilor again and are happy to serve as a reference.

We've done several other home improvement projects in the past and had such a headache with the contractors and sub-contractors not showing up when they said they would, or not paying attention to details, so I know how rare it is to find a contractor you actually like! Plus, their bid came in much lower than the three other contractors who quoted for us. We replaced four bathroom vanities which seemed like a small project, but required more skilled work than we originally imagined - including redoing plumbing and moving electrical to accommodate the new layout of vanity, mirrors, and lighting. The crew was very careful to cover surfaces to prevent damage (and also avoid dust getting on all our things) and to clean up their tools and equipment at the end of each day so we could have our space back. Arturo did really stellar work and clearly pays attention to the small details, like smooth caulking lines and patching each little area of drywall and paint to ensure a completely finished project. Their communication was great, and when we ran into a few hiccups with how to best install wainscoting, Jesus ensured we were happy with the plan before the crew moved forward with it. All in all, we really recommend Gilor and will be using them again for future home projects.
