Golden Restoration & Construction did a fabulous job remodeling my two bedrooms condominium and when I bought a new house I hired them again. Gary the owner and general contractor came to meet me personally and discussed all the work I wanted to do. He made good recommendations to the ideas my wife and I already had. He suggested the resources where to buy or order quality products, such as tiles, stones, electrical parts, paint etc. Gary and his crew helped to choose the right products and went with me to the stores. He also assisted on some unrelated issues that came up. Gary personally showed up at my place almost everyday to check on the progress of the work. I found the guys that work for Gary to be all professional, polite and they all did great quality work. I am extremely happy with the end results. Even now after a couple years Gary regularly calls and asks if everything is OK. In a few times when I needed help with the issues around the house, he was able to send somebody right away. I would highly recommend Golden Restoration, Gary and his crew. Thank you guys, great job! read more

I don't know how our previous review disappears. We were talking with our neighbor the other day and their kitchen happens to be remodeled by this company as well. Our project by them was the mater bathroom. Our neighbor's problems with Gary are even more traumatic. We both thought the experience with Gary was a nightmare. He over-promised and under-/not- delivered. When issues arise, he argues loudly and doesn't not take responsibilities. We had to hire other contractors to finish up his work. Once he has you sign the contract, he moves on to the next sale. not ethical, no honesty but a greedy salesman. Even if you really want to use his service, don't sign the arbitration clause. So that you would not give up your legal right. But what he counts on is the fact that homeowners just want to close that chapter and forget about him. No one would really go to small claim court to sue him. So the end of day, save yourself some energy and time. Hire someone else to do the job. read more

We hired Golden Restoration based on high Yelp reviews, and Diamond Certification. We only had two estimates done, and the second company never even responded. Our job was quite small, tiling and painting a bathroom, so I guess the other company wasn't interested. Anyway, Harry was so helpful and made excellent recommendations. The bathroom turned out beautifully and we had our living room and hall painted, too. All the workers were very good, and Harry checked to make sure we were happy as the project moved along. We liked them so much that we have had them paint the bedroom and do some work on our kitchen cabinets. Very small jobs, but Harry didn't mind and we are so happy with the results! We will call Harry again when we have our kitchen painted. We recommend them highly. read more

Gary and his company remodeled our kitchen last year and we have been enjoying it ever since. Everyone was very professional and the job was done on time and within budget. Gary's prices are very competitive and his workers always kept the work area clean when they were finished at the end of the day. We had Gary put in a new backyard deck with drainage and the drainage system is working great now that we've gotten some rain this month. Before there used to be a "lake" underneath our deck during rainy season. We also had some recessed lights installed, our skylight well re-textured and painted, and a new shower installed in the master bathroom. Everything was done efficiently and professionally. I'd definitely use Golden Restoration and Construction again! read more

I am a real estate broker in Marin County and have had the pleasure of working with Golden Restoration & Construction on many projects. In all cases, including recent work on my own home, GR&C has delivered. Gary and his crew are knowledgeable, always on time, and know exactly what to do to get the job done. And, their pricing can't be beat. I have referred just about everything from hardwood floors, to new bathrooms, new kitchens, custom cabinets, decking repairs, electrical issues, to fixing leaks to ....you name it! It is so comforting in my business to have GR&C as a resource. I know they will get the job done - stay within their proposed budget - clean up after themselves - and do it all with a smile :=) read more

We just remodeled our bathroom using Golden Restoration and Construction. The house was built in 1950 and the bathroom needed help. The shower had to be replaced, the tiles were cracked and the floor was in poor shape. Everything had to be replaced from the floor to the ceiling. After some research, we chose Golden Restoration and Construction. Their estimate was fair and they were highly recommended. They did a fantastic job! Gary, Harry and Rosel were great guys to work with and the crew was very professional. They got the job done in a timely manner and we couldn't be happier with the end result - we love it! I would highly recommend Golden Restoration and Construction to anyone who has a project in mind. read more

Gary and his crew did a great job, first on our master bath remodel, then we progressed to master closet, then flooring, and for good measure, moderizing the master bedroom with new lighting and a wall mounted tv (hidden wiring thru the attic). We were so happy, that we next gave him our kitchen to remodel a few months later. Our home is early 1970's and the kitchen had remained untouched. In one word, the kitchen was depressing. The guys were given a challenging project and transformed it into an unbelievable gourmet kitchen with a beautiful open concept. If Gary ever tells you "don't worry about it - we'll figure it out", you can believe that he will. SpecialcCudos to "Carlos", his construction ace. read more

Me and my partner had a fantastic experience with Golden Restoration and Construction. We never did a remodeling project so weren't sure what to expect but these people were extra dedicated and come to us with the plans to get us everything we wanted.

Our Kitchen, Floors and Bathroom is looking beautiful and extremely functional and this is the reason we are loving Golden Restoration and Construction. I will highly recommend Gary and his team! read more

We hired Golden Restoration & construction to remodel our house in San Rafael and put into the rental market. WOW, what a cordial, above-and-beyond service, clean work and great prices. Harry - our point person - was really a partner, not only being available and flexible to talk at the oddest times (I think one day he called me from Sunday church!), but also being honest about what he saw as the best cost/benefit for us, even if it wasn't the option with best margins for them. That's the type of service that builds trust, loyalty and long term success. Definitely recommend them and definitely will work with them again in the future. read more

5 stars is my rating for the Kitchen remodel Job they did for Us. After consulting with many construction companies of Marin County, we were drawn to GRC because of their attention and response towards our project. Since we are a couple, Many other companies didn't take our needs seriously thinking we wouldn't have much work to offer. Other hand, GRC treated us as one of the most important customers. We are very grateful to Golden Restoration and Construction team for remodeling a very functional Kitchen for us. read more

Our bathroom is beautiful and our pockets are in tact. Couldn't ask for a better contractor. He nailed it! Kitchen coming soon by Golden Restoration & Construction. read more

Contrary to some other reviews. I found Gary to be straight forward about all the work being done and nothing was hidden in fine print. His employees are good and personable and will listen to what you want. It is important to communicate with the Boss and the workers on any project to get the job done the way you want it. Gary is a professional with a strong personality but he listens and will do what you ask. The billing is very clear. My bath is outstanding. Thanks, Gary, Javier and Martin. read more

My kitchen was falling off the place. There were several offshoots hanging from the ceiling of the kitchen. Two or three cabinets in the corner were also about to fall. The kitchen area needed an overhaling. I searched on the web for a premium restoration and construction company that could restore my kitchen and make it appealing. Golden Restoration and Construction offered me a trustworthy and economical service. These guys brought a superb smile on my face. Highly Recommended! read more
