Being a Realtor in the Fremont area I was fortunate to have represented a client who had several properties in the area he wanted to sell. All were outdated and so the plan was to upgrade each property then bring them to market one at a time. It was my job to find an honest, knowledgeable, reliable General Contractor. I had interviewed several. I chose to work with George and GT General Contractor. His knowledge of the Local Building Codes stood out to me. He also had reasonable pricing. Together we worked out a contract where I would determine the upgrades, select and purchase appliances, fixtures, flooring and all major materials on behalf of my client and George would provide the minor materials and bring our vision to life. If it didn't work I could let George and GT General Contractors go and find another Contractor. It did work though. George was patient, his knowledge kept us out of trouble with the local code enforcement, He had the vision and the skillset to turn a blank canvas into something beautiful. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it was all Unicorns and rainbows, it wasn't. Every time a roadblock was in our path, George never lost focus of our final objective. So when we did pull up carpet and exposed some rotting of the subfloor or removed a section of drywall only to find some termite damage, an amendment to the original contract was created and on we went. After each house was completed I would list it on the market and every one brought a new "Highest Sale" in their neighborhood. That made me look good in my clients eyes. George and I did this 5 times over and I consider him a friend. I highly recommend George and GT Contractors if you are considering a remodel. I have since moved on from my real estate career but before I did I had sold my personal residence and who did I have help me remodel it? You guessed it. George and GT Contractors. read more

While I was initially very satisfied with George's work, unfortunately a serious flaw revealed itself after about a year. The tile beneath the shower door was not installed correctly, and this led to water slowly leaking into the baseboard anytime we used the shower. After a year, mold and mildew began to rapidly grow. After getting a consultation, the conclusion was that since the tile was not installed correctly, water did not drain from the surface properly, leading to the damage you see pictured here. I reached out to George, as our contract stated that he would fix any issues resulting from his work within 4 years after completion of the original project. Thankfully, he agreed to fix the issue after inspecting the problem in person. If George had simply fixed the tile right after his inspection, I would have no need to update this review. But unfortunately, what happened next is why I need to lower my rating. After George had agreed to fix his work, it took over 1 year to get him to come back to my home and fix it. I would send him multiple emails, texts, and phone calls trying to schedule time for him to come fix the shower. He would ignore the messages for weeks on end. And when he did respond, it would be to tell me that he was traveling, or was not available at my suggested times. When I finally managed to get time with him, he would make many comments about how he felt like the issue wasn't really his fault and that he just wanted to get done ASAP. He gave me the impression that he didn't want to make things right, but that he just wanted to fulfill his contractual obligation and be done. I did not feel like a priority to him, and it was likely because there was no money to be gained from fixing his mistake. George's fix unfortunately led to another issue. Our baseboard was replaced, and the tile was adjusted. However, since the tile needed to be adjusted at an incline to allow the water to drain, the positioning of the shower glass needed to be shifted up to give it space to open. The shower door is now misaligned with the other side of the glass. An issue that can't be fixed unless we buy a whole new shower glass door. While I am still very appreciative of George's original work, I will likely need to make significant updates to this bathroom in the future. And I will not be using GT General Contractor this time around. read more

Did a large 2nd story expansion with George. He was great to work with straight from the beginning. Clear with pricing, scope and schedules. When there were issues with a trade George was transparent with me and was able to replace them quickly. He is very fair with his pricing and the finished product was amazing! Everyone on my street wants to be able to make the same upgrade. The best is that he does his own electrical and plumbing so he can always help out vs having to wait for a sub contractor to respond. Highly recommend him for any renovation or addition! read more

I had a fair amount of improvements to make in my house in the living room and garage and used George's services. He gave me a fair bid, seemed to know his stuff, was good to talk to and answered several of my questions on email. He changed header beams in multiple places, new framing/structure, new window, waterproofing and stucco/drywall in the end. He helped me choose the right products and gave good insights. There were escalations to the initial estimate due to damages found after demo, but his supplemental quote was fair. I wouldn't say there were no issues, but the end result was good and I also think that homeowner also needs to be understanding/flexible. The workers were clean and easy to talk to. He even came later on to close out some small jobs remaining. He knows his stuff. read more

George and his son did an amazing job with our little TV wall project. We required extra electrical work for the TV to be mounted with sconces. They opened the wall, closed it up, textured and painted and installed wood planks to match our Frame TV. George was friendly, communicative and made sure I agreed with decisions every step of the way. One of the days his son even went out of his way to help me bring groceries in. They're kind, genuine people you can trust. Thank you again guys read more

Best thing I ever did, honestly. I have been looking to upgrade outside after 27 years. Not knowing who to trust is a big concern for me. I found GT remodeling through a friend. It is good to wait sometimes to find good quality work that requires zero=0 down the best part plus very reasonable affordable prices and payments. Antelope Valley, if you honestly want someone who takes pride offering the best quality of work will guide you through each step. I had Roof, Windows, Ac, Insulation/ducts and backyard. It was an experience to see how everything went smoothly, which includes permits and inspections. Very worth the peace of mind. Sales Rep Amit is the best, need assistance call 6613612367. read more

We did a complete reno with George 4 years ago. Bathroom, Kitchen, Flooring, Plumbing, Full electric rewiring, and layout change for an open floorplan. George is a very good collaborator, he listened to all the ideas and managed to deliver our vision. Even after 4 years, things are holding up really well. High-quality workmanship. read more

George is very responsive and professional. He arrived on time to check out our project and most importantly, he provided his estimates the earliest among a few contractors we contacted. Very detailed quotation with competitive & reasonable prices. George is very knowledgeable and gives good ideas to us during the planning phase. We have put our project on hold due to more items are still considering in our new house, but we definitely will contact George again. read more

Choosing GT General Contractor was the best decision I have ever made. The work was very high quality on time and ended up being under budget. George really helped me pick the right material and spent a lot of time consulting on the right choices for my remodel. The crew was courteous and very professional. They showed up on time and worked diligently to get the work done. George was very responsive and answered every question I had. I was most impressed with his honestly and his pride in the quality of work he provided. This was an amazing experience and I would recommend them to anyone read more

We were very fortunate to find George and that he was available to help with our project. We were looking for someone to help with a partial bathroom remodel. We called several contractors and all provided reasonable bids and seemed like they were capable to handle the job. However, George was the most knowledgeable and seemed to be a good fit for us. He made really helpful suggestions and recommendations for the bathroom so the decision who to hire was easy. Most importantly, his work was excellent. In addition, he was super easy to work with, was always very responsive, and showed up on time. read more

From start to finish, George did such an excellent job. Exceeded our expectations across the board on every room he worked on in our home & was so pleasant to be around. Anything additional we asked advice on, he was happy to help steer us in the right direction. He added recessed lighting to our hallway, created a proper attic door, did shiplap accent walls throughout our house, remodeled our guest bathroom & did a custom wall in our daughters play area. Would highly recommend & will definitely use again for any future projects. Thank you George!! read more

I interviewed and got bids from 6 local contractors, all with excellent Yelp reviews for an extensive remodel of my house. In the end I chose George because he gave me the most detailed and thorough job estimate and gave me a very competitive bid. The job did take longer than initially estimated due to the time it takes for all the materials to be delivered but everything turned out beautiful and smooth running in the end. George, Brian and Barry are all very experienced and skilled in their trade and completed the job nicely. Thank you guys!! read more

Disappointed. Sink and bathtub leaked after job completed few weeks. Left vm. No call back. We paid other contractor to fix George's work. read more

It's so nice to have a contractor who knows what he is doing, does it all, and does it well. George patched some drywall that a previous electrian cut while putting in new lights (I wish I had gotten George then!). He also removed an old built-in bar, which we're removing to put in an entertainment center. He also wired the room for the new sound system, and put in additional electrical outlets for the future entertainment center. This had him and his team going up to the attic and down into the lower garage to wire it just right. He communciated well and worked around our schedule. I've been meaning to Yelp him - as I'd use him again in an instant! And then I did! Late Saturday night I stepped into a puddle....where no puddle inside the house should be. I mopped it up and on Sunday investigated under the house, finding no leak, but there was obviously water coming from someplace. Without a leak, calling a plumber didn't make sense.... so I called George on Sunday. He made an emergency trip out to my house. He tracked the leak down to my furnace and water in the duct. He's not only a great contractor, but he also provides extraordinary service. He didn't even charge an arm and a leg for the call. I'm very glad I found him! read more

GT General Contractor did an extensive remodel at my house this Summer. Walls broken out, load bearing beams, popcorn ceiling refinished, mold and termite damage repaired, windows added, new flooring, new fireplace with gas insert, hallway closed turned around and remodeled into bedroom closet, whole house attic fan install, shower stall and a complete remodel of a guest bathroom. It was done in2 months, cost ended up as quoted and within set time frame. The house looks like a new house, the end result is above expectations. I can recommend George Rosza and his crew for any remodel job you may have, george was an effective communicator, and kept me abreast of all progress. read more

George is a great contractor to work with. Over the course of 3 months, he and his crew completely remodeled 3 bathrooms for us and we are very satisfied with the finished project. Throughout the process, he was a great communicator and worked tirelessly to do his best to meet our deadlines for completion. He was attentive to our various requests for project additions/modifications and worked hard to make sure we were fully satisfied with his work. We would highly recommend George to anyone looking for a reliable, highly-skilled, customer-focused contractor that works hard to get the job done right! read more

George helped us with our guess bathroom renovation. The result is fantastic! http://www.houzz.com/projects/252456/Elderberry-Remodel read more

After seeing the GT van on my court doing what seemed to be a lot of work on my neighbors house and checking him out here , I gave him a call about getting a quote of our bathroom shower remodel. He was one of the first guys I called, and after his message assured me he'd return my call I waited and he never called back. I got several other quotes and thought I'd give him another try.... sometimes things just slip through the cracks. Same story second time! Very unprofessional and rude to not take a second and return your business calls. There won't be a third call ......ever. read more

We recently bought a house that needed some updating. New floors, a fresh coat of paint, new baseboards, knocked down a wall, had some demo done in the garage. A whole slew of various things. We interviewed numerous contractors, and couldn't be happier with our final choice - George and his crew. As with any remodeling job, we were met with our share of challenges along the way, but nevertheless, GT was able to meet those challenges, and in the end leave us with a home that we're proud of. If you're looking for a contractor to take care of your home, I highly recommend GT General Contractor. read more

George and his crew remodeled 2 bathrooms, painted the interior of our home, painted the exterior of our house, added crown molding, remodeled a hallway and put in new closet doors. He was excellent throughout the process working with us as we made unanticipated changes, adjusting to our needs, keeping track and carefully reviewing billing regularly. He is a principled, honest man and we found him easy to work with. He worked for us 2 years ago when we remodeled a different part of the house and we still get compliments from visitors on the work he did. We did get additional bids on this recent work and his was the lowest bid but we also knew that he would provide timely and excellent work. We probably would have gone with him if he had charged more. We are very pleased with our home as a result of his work and will use him again and encourage others to have him bid on work. read more

My previous review is not a mistake as what the contractor said. I seldom write reviews and when I do, it's honest because I want to be of help to my fellow consumers who deserve honest and at least an average service or good/s. Please know and research well before hiring people or buying goods. However, it still happens unfortunately that no matter how much we thought we are in the right place, things fall apart. To lower that chance, I am not recommending this company. read more

George and his crew did a complete kitchen remodel and them some for us this past year. He offered competitive pricing, was responsive, flexible with some changes mid way through, and followed through on all of his commitments. Additionally, George and his crew were punctual and cleaned up everyday before they left. This was huge, especially because we were living in our home during the remodel. The end results of his work look great...you will not be disappointed. I will definitely call George again for future projects. I highly recommend George for any project you may have. read more

For a technically proficient contractor who conscientiously works to satisfy clients, one cannot ask for a better contractor than George Rozsa and for better work than is done by his company, G T General Contractor of Pleasanton (G T General Contractor). In our estimation, G T General Contractor performs outstanding, client-focused work at a very competitive price level. While many general contractors profess to perform excellent work, through demonstrated expertise George Rozsa and his company, G T General Contractor do just that. We first became acquainted with Mr. Rozsa in 2011. Having learned of his services through Angie's List, his reviews were highly positive. After interviewing a number of contractors for a bathroom renovation for our condominium, we chose G T General Contractor to perform the work. We were extremely pleased with the outcome of his efforts. Four years later, we continue to receive compliments on the renovation work he and his company performed. In addition to being highly competitive in his pricing, Mr. Rozsa brought a level of professionalism, attention to detail and thoroughness that made working with him and his crew a distinct pleasure. Given our past highly positive experience with him and his company, we contacted Mr. Rozsa in late December, 2014 about work we were planning to ready our condominium for sale. After meeting with him in early January, 2015, we indicated that we needed the work performed during the two-week window period from March 9th through March 20th. As our target date approached, we contacted him to confirm the start date of our work. While his project activity had increased since we met in January, he was able to start the work on March 12th and then incorporate weekend work to complete the promised work at the standard of excellence we had come to expect from him and his company and to do so with a very minimum of disruption to us. For this most recent work, we had engaged G T General Contractor to replace all of the wall-to-wall carpeting and vinyl flooring with wood laminate flooring, repair a closet system, perform drywall repairs, exactingly repaint the entire interior of our condominium, repair and repaint the interior and exterior of our front door, replace all of the existing doorknobs and hinges on our interior doors and install a new kitchen faucet. All of the work was performed to the highest standard of technical expertise and customer satisfaction that to us continues to distinguish George Rozsa and G T General Contractor. Whether the need is for new construction, a major renovation or a minor one, we heartily endorse George Rozsa and his company, G T General Contractor of Pleasanton. read more

George has done two vitally important projects at my house that has helped increase it's value. He's generous with his time and his expertise. I would call him again for anything that needed to be done right. read more

We found George and GT General Contractor on Yelp and are so glad we did. Our project was a commercial build out and although most of George's other projects were residential he and his team proved up to the task. George is a great project manager and handled all of our meetings with inspectors. When issues arose, as they always will, he was proactive in his problem solving and always kept us in the loop. We had a very specific idea of what we wanted our space to look like and at the end of the project, GT General Contractor delivered. We would recommend George and his team to anyone looking to do a commercial or residential build out. read more

We remodeled our bathroom and laundry room. From the estimate to the final inspection, the process was smooth. George, himself, showed up daily along with his worker and put in full days work each and every day. The workplace was cleaned up daily and the work done with quality. He had good recommendations for where to get cabinets and managed the permit process with the city. He was responsive and asked questions whenever something was in doubt. It was the first good contracting experience I've had! read more

George was great. I had a support beam which was weakening due to dry rot. It was more of a job than I felt comfortable giving to a handyman. George gave me a couple of options for replacing the beam. He arrived on time & took care of the job in just a matter of hours. He finished the job in less than 1/2 the time & for less $ than other contractors had estimated. GT General Contractor/George did a great job & I would have no reluctance in calling on him in the future. read more

George and his crew were true professionals who got our remodel project complete on time and we ended up paying less because he was able to secure deeper materials prices and he passed those discounts to us. He is extremely honest and takes a lot of pride in his work. He punctually responded to all my questions and was very transparent as the project progressed. George and team were highly recommended to me and I will highly recommend him to anyone looking for his service. read more

I was looking for a contractor to remove old torn up wood paneling on my garage walls, add support beams for storage on the top of the garage, add insulation, and put new drywall for all the walls. I contacted about 6 different contractors, 2 of them never responded back, and got bids from 4 of them. George responded back right away which I liked because I wanted to get it done asap. His estimate wasn't the lowest, and wasn't the highest, about right in the middle. After talking with him about what I wanted I felt very comfortable and confident that he could do a good job. George and one of his guys started the job right away. They were very professional, worked very hard, extremely flexible when I wanted to add a few extra things to get done. He finished the job when he said he would, and I couldn't have been happier with the job that they did. My garage looks completely different, and before it was a huge mess, and now it looks fantastic. I would definitely recommend George for any home remodel that you are thinking of!! read more

I would hire George again in an instant. We had him install ceiling fans with wall switches in two rooms. What we thought would be a reasonably straightforward job got complicated when we discovered that one of the two rooms had no attic access. George knew exactly what to do and, even though it required him to cut holes in the ceiling and along the wall, he did such a phenomenal job patching and matching the finishes that all it took was a coat of paint to make any evidence that work had ever been done absolutely undetectable. He completely cleaned the workspace when he was done and the additional amount charged to cover the extra work was extremely reasonable. Plus, we had a limited window in which to complete the project (wanted the fans installed before visitors arrived to stay during hot weather). George went out of his way to work within our schedule and our guests were very grateful that he did. read more
