    After primary bathroom
    Christina T.

    We decided to swap houses with my mom and do some renovations prior to move in. (Please forgive the mess, my mother is a hoarder) The project included a kitchen remodel, primary bath remodel, updating the guest bath, cabinet update for the laundry room and hall closet, installation of pavers, installation of LVP and carpet throughout the house, interior paint throughout the house, and installing recessed lighting throughout the house. Unfortunately the project took longer than we were expecting/hoping for but Eden and team were extremely responsive, patient and professional throughout the process. They were accommodating to the many requests that we had of them and in the end we have a home that we absolutely love.

    We bought a house in Pleasanton that was a perfect location for our family, but the inside needed quite a bit of work. The projects included re-wiring the entire house, remodeling a guest bathroom, completely remodeling the kitchen, removing a wall, redoing flooring, drywall, insulation, and updating the laundry room. After interviewing 6+ contractors we decided on Inspired Builders and are extremely happy with our decision. Our project manager Eden was with us from the very first meeting and was instrumental to making sure the entire process went smoothly. Eden was very responsive & professional, explain (and followed through on) the company's remodeling process which included a designer, 3D renderings, help with materials, tight timelines, and a 'no surprise' promise. We purchased our house in the summer and wanted to move quickly to be able to finish the remodel before the holidays and Inspired Builders got it done for us. They did pre-signing meetings with us, handled all the permits, met us to finalize the design and materials, and communicated an appropriate amount during the entire process. We chose to move out of our house for 2 months so this communication was very welcomed. They were very reasonable with the minor changes we requested mid-build, and kept their promise to not charge me extra for any surprises that we encountered during demolition/construction. Even the crew literally working and painting our house was very friendly, clean, and helped us with questions when we would occasionally visit. The final results look incredible and all of our family is amazed to see the transformation. My wife says she feels like we are living in "one of those houses from a magazine". We intend to hire them to finish the rest of the house when we are ready.

    Inspired Builders did a phenomenal job remodeling our 2200 sq ft, 5 bed house in San Carlos, CA. From the moment we met our project manager Eden Gazit, we knew we were in great hands. Eden's calm, assuring presence and regular check-ins onsite gave us comfort in navigating a complex job which included the removal of several walls, structural updates, 3 new bathrooms and a kitchen, re-plumbing, re-wiring and the conversion of a kitchenette into an extra bedroom. IB's service included a 3D designer who visualized our home and helped us choose finishes in-person. The final product is practically identical to the renders that were produced. Eden's construction team, led by Mike Aguilar, worked tirelessly and from the first day of demo to final tiling, they showed care and professionalism keeping the job site tidy and always being respectful to neighbors. As a designer, I am very particular about process and finish and IB did not disappoint me. I would recommend IB and Eden without hesitation.

    We had a great experience working with Adam as the project manager on our kitchen remodel. From the very beginning, Adam was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. He guided us through every step of the process, from planning and design to execution, making sure everything stayed on track and within budget. What really stood out was his attention to detail and communication. He was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and make sure we felt comfortable with every decision. The team was organized, efficient, and delivered high-quality workmanship. The final result exceeded our expectations our kitchen looks amazing. Our goal was to increase cabinet and counterspace in a kitchen that couldn't be expanded. That goal was achieved! Highly recommend Adam and his team for anyone looking to do a kitchen remodel.

    BEFORE - Master Bath
    Nik K.

    TLDR: Hired Inspired Builders (Adam was our PM) for a big renovation: kitchen cabinet resurfacing, full master bath remodel, whole-house recessed lighting, and a subpanel replacement with patchwork. Interviewed six contractors and we are so glad we chose them! Adam was responsive, organized, and super flexible, even when city permits caused delays. He adjusted the timeline to keep things moving and made sure the house was spotless before our baby shower/housewarming, which says a lot about how much he cares. Their team handled everything from design help (shoutout to Nicole, who spent a day picking finishes with us) to execution. The bathroom feels like a spa now--wider door, new tile, double vanity, and the cool little shadow box for toiletries. The kitchen cabinets look amazing, and they even painted the inside for free. The recessed lighting (30+ cans!) completely changed the vibe of the house. We went from relying on lamps to a bright, modern feel in every room. They flagged our outdated subpanel early and replaced it quickly with minimal disruption. Everything's labeled, clean, and future-ready. We had a toddler, a dog, and a pregnant wife at home, so we really appreciated how respectful and tidy the crew was. Daily cleanups, careful with materials, and responsive to our feedback. Minor hiccups here and there (mostly scheduling), but Adam always made it right. He even came back weeks later to finish a few punch-list items after things were delivered. The work speaks for itself and we get constant compliments. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and genuinely great team, go with Inspired Builders. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat. (And yep--before & after pics are a must!)

    Great execution of this project with superb quality and at great price point. Adam, my project manager was there to solve any issues as the project moved along for a timely delivery.

    We hired Inspired Builders for 2 separate projects: - Full home remodel: 3 bd/2ba - panel upgrade, sub panel, wiring, flooring, kitchen, fireplace tear down, bathrooms, patio door addition, resize master bathroom, interior paint, drywall work, tar & gravel roof repair, dry rot repair. - Garage remodel & exterior home paint 1) Full home remodel - 5/5 We are absolutely thrilled with our full home remodel completed by Inspired Builders, and we cannot recommend their services enough for large, full remodel projects. After interviewing seven contractors, we selected Inspired Builders based on their impressive project portfolio, experience, and, most importantly, Adam's genuine enthusiasm for our project, his honesty, and his clear value for our business. What stood out: - Dedicated Project Management: Adam was the driving force behind this project. He maintained constant, clear communication and managed the schedule at an impressive pace. If you need a project manager who is extremely dedicated, organized, and focused on delivering high-quality results on time for a large project, Adam is your person. He was incredibly responsive and always available to address our questions and provide advice. We also never felt like he was trying to milk money out of the project. We did end up adding a lot to our original project scope, and we appreciated how Adam and the team adapted to our constant changes. - All-in-One Convenience: The in-house design services were a huge benefit. Having a dedicated designer made the often-overwhelming material selection process feel like a breeze. Furthermore, the convenience of Inspired Builders handling ALL plans, architect and engineer consults, permits, paperwork, and inspectors was an absolute lifesaver--it made the entire experience stress-free. - High-Quality Results: The construction work itself was excellent. We had very few and minor correction requests and it was clear that they had a quality assurance system for maintaining quality on this project. In the end, we were so happy with the results that we immediately booked Inspired Builders for a second, smaller project. 2) Garage remodel & exterior paint - 4/5 We are ultimately satisfied with the results of our smaller project. However, the timeline surpassed the original estimate by over 1 month, and we needed to dedicate a high amount of time to monitoring the work and requesting fixes. In our opinion, Inspired Builders is best suited for their demonstrated strength in larger home remodels.

    We found Inspired Builders via a Yelp search and they have exceeded expectations. We used them to remodel our kids bathroom -- reconfiguring it while removing tub and closet. Adam, Noa, Walter and the crew were transparent in their communication (WhatsApp group definitely helped :)), efficient (completed the job in under 4 weeks from start of demolition) and a pleasure to work with. They were quick to jump in and fix things when things didn't go as planned. I particularly appreciated this and it showed that they took pride in their work. I would highly recommend them and plan to use them for future projects.

    Before and after

    Barak and his team did an amazing job with our kids'/guest bathroom at our house in Mountain View. He came highly recommended from a friend in Menlo Park, and I'm very happy with my choice to work with him. He was easy to communicate with, his timeline was accurate, and his pricing came in quite a bit below another contractor I received a quote from. The guys working at our house (Julie and Carlos) were very competent, friendly, and respectful of our space, and Leo did a great job on the tile work. I didn't like one of the materials I had picked out, and when I brought it up with Barak he just agreed to change it like it was no big deal. Phew! We plan to work with them again when it's time to do our master bathroom. Thanks Inpired Builders!

    This is just a rendering but tbh our kitchen turned out almost EXACTLYYY like the rendering. So beautiful!
    Rose C.

    Last December, I began my search for a reputable and diligent remodeling and construction team for my home renovation. After interviewing a total of four companies (all found on Yelp), my husband and I made the decision to move forward with Inspired Builders. What brought us to that decision was the communication style and friendliness of our project manager, Ben. He had a good sense of humor and straightforward approach. Despite Inspired Builder's quote coming nearly 20k over another company, we still went with them. Our project was a hallway bathroom remodel, a kitchen remodel, and renovating two bedrooms into 1 primary suite with an added on closet and bathroom, effectively going from 3 BR 1 BA to 2 BR 2 BA. We also repainted the interior of the home, re-finished the walls, removed a fireplace, and completely redid the flooring. My husband and I come from a super humble background - him a teacher, and me in non-profit work. That means EVERY. SINGLE. DOLLAR is not taken for granted, and everything we spent was intentionally saved. Ben really understood this and explained every phase of the construction and what we were paying for, and i felt he wasn't trying to scam me into paying into things i didn't need. Like any thrilling home renovation, we stumbled upon a couple issues here and there - one with our solar, our plumbing, and some rotted wood in the bathroom. Ben communicated the issues at every step and kept in contact with us and essentially took care of whatever he could. Since my husband is a teacher and I work in San Francisco, we weren't on site every day or every week and trusted Ben completely to help us make decisions and get things done, and he did just that. Partway through the process, we were given a different on-site manager and it was a bummer to not be able to see Ben anymore, although he stayed in contact weekly - and i should note that we got reassigned not for anything bad, but because Ben got promoted! Let me tell ya, these guys are working on 5-6 projects at a time and yet somehow he answers within an hour, and knows every detail of your project and doesn't get it confused with another project. One thing I would recommend is being really clear about your price preferences on finished materials, and be willing to look for things yourself if you don't agree with the price of something chosen for you. And be prepared to stay super organized - they give you a google sheet with items you need to purchase by room, and it's super important to check EVERY LINK and make sure you're buying what you're supposed to get. If you're confused, ASK THE QUESTIONS! Anyway, the house turned out beautifully and we're so thrilled to move back in. It's completely brightened, everything is modern and awesome, and it feels very "us." Overall, wonderful experience and I'm happy to chat with anyone considering Inspired Builders!

    Old Kitchen

    We contracted with Inspired Builders because Eddie took the time and care to explain the concept he had in mind for our home after I told him what I wanted my new kitchen to look like. Eddie and Fernando made sure that all projects I asked for were completed. Even though I started with just a kitchen remodel, while we were waiting for the designs and approvals from the City, I also had them paint the exterior of my house and replace our roof that was almost 40 years old. I had such a small kitchen before, so making holiday cookies and having family dinners was difficult, I had to move things around so I would have counter space to prepare our meals or make baked goods. I'm very happy with the end results. I love my new kitchen. My cat gets his own feeding area so the dog won't eat his food and we made room for a coffee station. Thank you Eddie and Fernando for helping us with this remodel.

If you are looking for the absolute best price and a contractor who is genuinely easy to talk to, Jay is your guy. He is very agreeable and was always willing to negotiate and perform reworks until I was satisfied with the result. That said, if your project is on the more complicated side like mine was, you should be prepared to take an active role in project management. The timelines did extend significantly beyond the original estimates, and I had to stay on top of the subcontractors to ensure the craftsmanship met my standards. It wasn't a hands-off experience, but because he is such an honest person to deal with and his pricing is so competitive, we got both projects to the finish line. A strong pick for those on a budget who don't mind being involved in the details. After working with many contractors in the Bay Area, I've found that the alternative is usually someone charging much more who promises a turnkey experience but can't guarantee it either. Knowing that tradeoff, I would hire Jay again - and already have.

All prior interior work in our house had been done by handyman. I really appreciated the communication from our project manager Marc. He created a WhatsApp chat with me and the incredible designer Jocelyn. They were both consistently responsive to any of my questions or concerns -- and opened my mind to design options. Jocelyn spent time in our home, drafted plans, took me shopping, and sourced all the fixtures. From her spreadsheet I was able to find less expensive options for some items. I appreciated the input and control I had on these expenses. Since we needed to move out, I had a tight timeline for the project -- mid October until Thanksgiving. Marc and the team did their best despite City of San Jose delays with inspections. We were able to move back in before the final inspection. Every member of the team was kind and courteous. Marc also did a great job working with the window vendor that specializes in older homes. I'm rating the experience a 4.5 out of 5 for two reasons. I was disappointed that the medicine cabinet, switch plates, and hooks were initially installed unevenly (it was corrected). I expected more attention to detail. And I was disappointed in the wear & tear that happened on my wood floors as well as the overall dust in my dining room. I was warned that things would get dusty -- but didn't understand the extent and would have packed away more things. WISE offers lots of support with design -- they could also offer as part of their package a full cleaning! I offer this feedback to help others calibrate their expectations. Overall it was a positive experience. I waited several months to post this review until I returned from travel and could see how things were settling after regular use. I'm loving the new bathroom and recommend WISE.

Overall, the project went well, and we're happy with the final results. Bryan, our foreman, was a strong asset to the project. Even though he was managing multiple jobs at the same time, his responsiveness and willingness to go out of his way to address our concerns made a big difference. Because we were home throughout the process, we were able to catch issues early and communicate them directly to Bryan, who consistently followed through to resolve them. What Went Well: * The tile and flooring subcontractors were excellent - their craftsmanship and attention to detail truly stood out. * Bryan, our foreman, was responsive to texts and phone calls, listened to our concerns, and made sure they were addressed. He even designed a bi-fold closet door for us, and helped pick up all the material to build it. * Bryan also took the initiative to handle several unfinished items himself, which we really appreciated. * The post-build cleaners were top-notch and left the space in pristine condition. * Throughout the project, everyone we interacted with was professional, courteous, and conscientious. There were no conflicts or issues, which made the experience comfortable for us. Areas for Improvement: * The timeline was a pain point. While we were originally told the project would take 6-8 weeks, it ended up stretching to 12 weeks. * The design process fell short of expectations. Because Prime's in-house designers weren't available, our design work was outsourced. We only received a full design package for the master bathroom. As a result, we ended up creating our own renderings for the other rooms to help communicate our vision to the team. That said, we were very happy with the design and material selections for the master bathroom they did complete. We just wish the same level of attention and design support had been provided for the rest of the project. * At times, resource availability was limited, likely due to workers being assigned to multiple jobs. This led to workflow inefficiencies and delays. Toward the end of our renovation, our foreman Bryan had to personally step in to complete several tasks, such as installing faucets, shelving, and baseboards. He managed to get it done in between site visits and meetings, which we appreciated, but it also highlighted a lack of available crew to close out the project. Despite these few challenges, the quality of the work met our expectations. We appreciated the team's effort and the final outcome.

From the very beginning, we wanted a builder we could truly trust to handle the entire project from start to finish, and ibuilders completely delivered. Alan guided us seamlessly through the design process. He made sure to maximize every square foot of the layout, incorporated all our specific requirements, and brought super helpful suggestions based on his team's depth of experience. They took care of all the permitting with the city, which made what could have been a stressful process completely hassle-free. In addition to building the ADU itself, they upgraded our main electrical panel and completed hardscaping around the unit to give us a clean, low-maintenance outdoor space. If you are considering building an ADU, I cannot recommend Alan and ibuilders enough. I'm happy to speak to anyone who is interested in learning more about our experience with them!

    I reached out to iBuilders Design and Build for a free estimate to enclose my existing Alumawood…read morepatio. They responded very quickly through Yelp and scheduled a phone consultation. Luis and his team spent about 30 minutes understanding my requirements and provided detailed and honest feedback. They explained that since my existing patio is built with Alumawood, enclosing it with a regular wood frame would not be appropriate. The proper options would be either to remove the existing structure and rebuild it from scratch or use a specialized Alumawood sunroom system. Even though iBuilders Design and Build could not take on my project, I truly appreciate Luis and his team for their transparency, professionalism, and willingness to provide honest guidance upfront. Their responsiveness and helpful advice made the process much clearer for me.

That said, I knew I'd have to find the `best custom cabinetry shop that could offer me a solution that wouldn't break the bank. After connecting with Z4CC, I was able to consult with Ali and Abdul. My project started with replacing all of my kitchen cabinets, but we ended up tackling my laundry room first. A couple of cabinets had non-standard sizing, so customization was needed to avoid awkward-looking panels to fill in any gaps. My project was completed ahead of schedule and executed flawlessly. Communication and updates were consistent and efficient. We have begun the kitchen project and will add custom storage cabinets to my garage. This experience had been nothing less than impressive.

    Zest 4 Construction is a lifesaver! After Lowe's completely destroyed our countertop during a…read morefailed oven install (PSA: never shop there!), Ali was incredibly patient while we spent months dealing with the settlement process. When we were finally able to move forward, he gave us a fair price for top-quality work and his crew had our new countertop knocked out in half a day--it looks STUNNING. He also handled the electrical work and coordinated the delivery + installation of our new oven the next day, even testing all five induction burners to ensure everything was perfect. The entire process was smooth, straightforward, and drama-free. His crew works independently, too--I was out of town one day (unreachable by phone) and they still got everything handled by coordinating with my family. Highly, highly recommend Ali & his team!

    Eli and the LevelUp team completely transformed our 1970s home. They handled a massive structural…read moreoverhaul for us, which included building a brand-new master suite, modifying the existing master bedroom, and fully remodeling both our kitchen and an existing bathroom. Going into this, we were absolutely terrified--especially after hearing so many horror stories about year-long delays on major renovations. Because we had to live in an Airbnb with our two small children during construction, timing was everything. Choosing Eli and his team was the best decision we could have made. They completed this massive project in just four months, beating their initial six-month estimate. More importantly, they turned what could have been an incredibly stressful ordeal into a smooth, streamlined process. Eli walked us through each and every step with detailed weekly updates, keeping us entirely in the loop. We were actually out of town for two of those months, but because of his proactive communication, his team made lightning-fast progress while we were away. We are thrilled with the final result. The craftsmanship is excellent, and Eli personally ensured that everything--from the foundation up--was executed to the highest standard.

From start to finish the interactions had been very professional, respectful and timely. What sets this company apart was that they knew what they were doing, very experienced and had made the best use of our time in the two in person meetings that we had by answering all the questions we had and giving us exactly what my husband and I needed. We started out thinking we wanted an ADU extension but Nir gave us an honest take on what would work with our home and we were impressed. Out of several handful of people we met we would have gone with Level up if we decided to start the project and hope they pick up our call when we are ready again in a few years. Thank you Nir, Ruth and the rest of the team.

    We worked with EDR to completely remodel a duplex into a single family home that hadn't been…read moretouched in 60 years. Eddie and Sarmad did a fantastic job in delivering the project. From the start of the design project, they used high quality sub contractors for design, engineering, and all the trades in the house. Fernando, our project manager was incredible. He approached the project with a keen eye for details and took total ownership over the sub contractors. He would stop by almost every night to ensure that the subs were performing their work and not leaving or damaging any other contractors' work. Sarmad is a problem solver. He sees an issue and thinks through how to solve it, then presents clear options to choose from. Throughout the process, we were not surprised by unanticipated expenses - all changes were clearly explained and we had the option to make changes via clear change orders. EDR uses Buildertrend for all program management and billing, which made payments, change approvals, and scheduling tracking seamless. While this sounds like a basic requirement in 2026, not all contractors use these services which just adds friction to the process. We couldn't recommend EDR more for the quality of work on our house, the schedule execution, care for detail, and just taking care of our project. Along the way, we never felt nickel & dimed, and the value of their services definitely exceeded our expectations.

    We didn't end up hiring Eddie, Sarmad and the EDR crew but based on the quality of their work and…read moretheir honest and straightforward professionalism, we would definitely consider working with them in the future. We visited a gorgeous property they remodeled and it was designed impeccably and the quality of work also looked very good. It was also clear how much the owners loved Eddie and Sarmad and let us spend a long time visiting their home. We're grateful to Eddie and Sarmad for their patience with us as doing a first time ground up build is a huge investment for us and we had a lot of questions and concerns. They also went above and beyond their normal bid process when we asked for a more detailed bid for our budgeting purposes. Highly recommend reaching out to EDR!

Replacing just the slabs takes quite a bit of precision and skill, so I was really glad they were willing to take this project on. There was some confusion at the beginning around scheduling, but once I brought it up, they adjusted quickly. Samuel then took over the project, and that really changed the experience for the better. We also ran into a misunderstanding around the scope of work and an additional cost that initially felt much higher than expected, to the point where I was considering cancelling the project. Samuel took the time to listen to my concerns, work through everything with me, and come up with a fair price. When the final scope ended up being a little less than anticipated, he even reduced the price further, which I really appreciated. He also sent two technicians to make up for the initial delay and get the work completed quickly. The doors turned out great, and the job was finished much faster than I expected. What could have been a frustrating experience was completely turned around by Samuel's responsiveness, patience, and willingness to find a fair solution. I would definitely recommend Proper Hour Home Service, especially for their technical skill and the way they handled an issue when it came up.
