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.

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

Every renovation project has some unexpected challenges, and ours was no different due to…read moreextenuating circumstances. But the difference was how well the Decor team managed the project through the difficulties. One example was the discovery that our roof needed to be replaced. Not something we were aware of and not something that was part of the original project. We have nearly 100 year old Spanish terracotta tiles. The rains were coming, and we needed a fix quick. Decor put us in touch with a contractor of theirs that came out the next day and replaced the damage before rain could ruin the work being done by Decor. This close collaboration between Decor and other reputable contractors gave us confidence that Decor was invested in our whole project's success, not just their portion. We made the decision to stay in the home during the renovation of the back half with a new bathroom and adding to our back bedrooms to give us a bit more space. This allowed us to watch the work up close and see the quality and commitment each crew made as they worked closely together. We love our new changes and are grateful that a normally stressful experience was reduced by the professionalism of the Decor Team.

We were thoroughly impressed working with DECOR Builders. Tal quoted us 6-8 months for our…read moreextensive remodel, and he delivered a practically new home to us in the promised time! We really liked the seemlessness of working with the DECOR team. They were great at communication, reminders, suggestions, and help. We loved that we didn't waste time finding different contractors for different parts of the job - they had "a guy" for everything! We had a list of issues with our existing layout, and they helped solve all of them! These included: tearing down a load-bearing wall to create an open concept living/dining/kitchen area, reconfiguring all 4 bedrooms' closets, moving our washer and dryer upstairs, pushing out our garage and master bedroom and adding a master bath with steam shower, upgrading one of the bathrooms to ADA standards, installing recessed lighting throughout the home, installing a new HVAC system, finsihing our basement floors, walls, and ceiling, and re-roofing for solar panel compatibility. They gave us options along the way and supported our choices. We really enjoyed working with Anne, the interior designer. She met us at multiple showrooms to pick out our kitchen and 3.5 bathroom finishes. She knew what materials would work best for our project and created a document with very accurate renderings of each room, and provided links for the purchases that we needed to make. Eddie, our foreman, was amazing and attentive to all of our project needs. He was patient, flexible, and took the time to explain why things were done in a certain way. He made sure everyone involved in the project was on task. We highly recommend DECOR for your next remodel, big or small!

I knew people that had secured their services, and everybody had positive things to say, both about their work product and professionalism. I recently was fortunate enough to actually need their help for a property of my own. They normally do larger jobs, but this was important to me, and I wanted to best. I was not disappointed. The entire team and stuff, were courteous, responsive, and gave me a finished product that was EXACTLY what I was envisioning. Thank you Craftsman Guild. Looking forward to another opportunity to secure your services!!!

We hired DevArt8 to do a 350sq addition and to remodel our 2 bathrooms in our home in Union City…read more What they did was so much more than just that. They gave us a much needed space with a whole new house feel and our household of 5 can spread ourselves out without being on top of each other. Right from the get go, the process of planning and designing the house was non stop. There were communication flying back and forth almost every day at every stage of the project. They gave us a timeline that was reasonable and they kept it even with some hiccups from the city. The crew was dedicated to getting their work done and being on the timeline which we appreciated immensely as we were still living in the house during this construction chaos. Anything that needed fixing, it was done, anything that needed changing, that was done, anything we wanted to added, that was done as well. Not only that but since I'm not as knowledgeable in construction, I would ask them numerous questions and they will tell me what I needed to know. We appreciate everyone who had a hand in working on our dream house. We highly recommend DevArt8 for their hard work and dedication to building right.

They demo'd on Monday, had the rough plumbing done by Wednesday, and had a working toilet back in place by Friday. The crew was organized, communicated with us throughout the project, and kept everything moving without cutting corners. We're really happy with how the bathroom turned out and would definitely recommend DevArt8 to anyone looking for a reliable remodeling contractor in Sunnyvale.

All the staff and contractors were great - they showed up every morning on time, worked hard, and cleaned up before going home. And each contractor was very talented at his craft. Jenn, our project advisor, and Enrique, our onsite supervisor, were always immediately available for our concerns, and went above and beyond to take any needed action in a very timely manner. They were such a pleasure to work with, listened to our wishes and concerns, and made every effort to make them happen. We have heard of many bad contractor experiences from friends, but we had a great overall experience working with Acton!

Acton ADU is a streamlined, personal organization that leaves you with a high quality building…read morepersonalized to your needs. We found their planning, communication, permit navigation, and building to be very high quality. Planning with Acton was very simple. They have a suite of choices both for the structural design, but also for nearly every aspect you could want. We even made some modifications ourselves that fit our needs and they were more than accommodating. We ended with a project plan we were fully behind and excited to see to completion. The team at Acton showed themselves to be high level communicators. They anticipated questions, gave frequent updates, and took the time necessary to answer all of our questions throughout. They also utilized an app called Buildertrend that gave us daily updates, calendars, photos, invoices, and any other information we could need from the project. It worked well and keep us constantly in the loop. One of the most daunting aspects of building an ADU is understanding and correctly following all of the permit requirements. Acton ADU handled all of that as part of the build. They know the codes and how to best expedite processes toward a positive conclusion. Acton even has pre-approved building plans that can be approved in a couple weeks rather than several months, which is one thing that drew us to their company in the first place. Finally, and most importantly, the build is fantastic. We watched our ADU come to life as we had planned and the crew working on the structure were amazing. From concrete to framing, drywall, and stucco, the team at Acton clearly knows how to do their work at a high quality. We could not be happier with the outcome and are excited to see our family and friends enjoy the ADU for years to come. If you are looking for an ADU builder to be on your shortlist, I highly recommend Acton ADU.

We recently moved into the home and had a vision in mind for what we wanted. Ofir, Rene and the rest of the Bay Builders team turned that dream into a reality and then some! First, the project was not easy as the home was a bit older and there were some structural changes that needed to be done. Ofir and Rene were communicative with the change orders (including some key recommendations like changing the flooring in the sunroom and upgrading the electrical panel to code) and very fair with pricing. We had a fixed budget initially and managed to stay within those bounds. In addition, the timelines matched expectations set from the initial project proposal (even with some unforeseen changes with the electrical panel upgrade). Rene and his team were quick, thorough, clean and extremely professional. My wife and I are thrilled we partnered with Bay Builders on this project, and would highly recommend them and work with them again in the future.
