We have worked with Mike Cacci on two remodels twenty years apart. Our first remodel touched most…read moreof the house and we just finished a remodel of two bathrooms as well as freshening other parts of our home. Mike is the only contractor that my husband and I would ever use. When Mike tells you he is going to be done on a certain date, he is done on that date. He picks excellent sub-contractors who match his commitment to quality work. We look forward to working with Mike again in 20 years!

We hired Mike to remodel our home after hearing about his attention to detail and his ability to…read morestay on schedule, so we put him to the test: - We were having a baby two weeks after Mike's scheduled completion date for the project and planned to move back in before the birth, leaving little room for delays - We surprised Mike with requests to add significantly more scope to the project, totaling at over 60 change orders Mike succeeded, cramming a significantly larger project into the same timeline while maintaining a high quality bar for all work. The project covered most aspects of the home, including changing the wiring, plumbing, HVAC, flooring, roofing, windows, doors, and refinishing all walls inside and out as well as expanding some rooms and raising ceilings. Mike had a capable team, suppliers, and subs. Jason, the project foreman, especially stood out with strong communication and clever problem solving when surprises came up. One thing we appreciated was how Mike and Jason proactively offered ideas to make the remodel better. Many of our favorite details of the remodel are actually the result of their suggestions, such as flipping our living room layout and creating a storage area in the attic. We're now at 9 months since the remodel and it has held up well and we're happy with the results. A few areas did need minor follow-ups, but Mike and Jason have been responsive and handled everything. We had previous projects with other contractors who wouldn't respond or follow through on follow-ups, so this has been a relief and a reason we'd choose Mike and Jason again for future projects.

I have never worked with a contractor that I want to refer and promote to all my friends in town…read more That is until I met Sergio and his team. He gave me a no-nonsense quote (fixed bid for labor and I pay for materials based on his bills) and a date when he can get started. And started exactly on that date. And never skipped a week here or few days there to take on additional work in parallel. Sergio always prioritizes my need over his or his team's convenience or the option that makes him the most margin. He is always asking - how I want things to be instead of trying to limit the work (after all it is a fixed bid project). He is down to earth and competent. His crew (Luiz 1 and Luiz 2) is industrious, talented and collegial. They are outside the house by 7:45 am and in the house by 8:00 am sharp. Even as they enter the work site, first thing in the morning they are carrying stuff in, you never see them ambling in lazily. It is almost as though they had planned the evening before what they will start with the next morning, and walk in with a purpose. I am getting a deck built and some renovation done. I have made so many changes to the project, that I have lost count. Many of the changes (scope increase) are due to what we found out after starting the work. And some of them are due to changes in my whims. I don't think Sergio ever flinched or frowned. I have worked with other contractors before. I don't think I could have done this project without Sergio, at the cost I am spending now, in the timeframe as this project and most importantly with the degree of satisfaction as I have got in this project. I recommend Sergio to all homeowners for their remodeling or renovation needs without reservation.

It is really hard to come by a responsive, trustworthy contractor these days. Sergio has proved me…read morethat it is possible. Responsiveness: Sergio called me back 10 minutes after I posted my request for quote on Yelp and visited my home that same day for an estimate. Between that and the actual work start date, I have texted and called Sergio a number of times and he has always been available and responsive to my questions. Professionalism: Sergio has shown up exactly on time on the day we set, and finished on time. The job was done just the way I asked for it, and the crew worked cleanly and left the site as if they were never there. I am glad I came across Sergio. I would definitely contact him again for another project. I highly recommend working with him.

Jim and team were great to work with during our preliminary assessment of cost and scope for…read moreremodel project. He provided me with a preliminary bid at no cost. Offered to work with the county of San Mateo to get my permit approved. My structural engineer took care of it all, but it's nice to have a knowledgable and seasoned professional on the team. Although we ended up using another contractor and cannot speak on his design and construction work, I am confident he would've gotten the job done. With all the consultation and advice and visits, Jim only charged us $500. Due to our budget constraint, we chose another contractor. However, if we chose to go to with Jim Walters, I have no doubt they would've been great to work with. Jessica was an excellent communicator and was always easy to reach.

I first contacted Jim Walters when I discovered by accident in a tile store that the design by the…read morecontractor I planned to use to remodel my master bath would not pass code. It then made sense that they refused to pull permits and left that up to me only if I insisted. Jim immediately responded to the challenge, came up with a creative solution that would meet code and pulled the appropriate permits. His top notch team fully remodeled the bath, replacing the tub with full stone shower and bench, beautiful cabinets and warmed stone floor. It has the spa-like feeling I wanted and was so happy with that project that we gradually remodeled the whole condo. A few years later, Jim gutted a single story residence and his team did a full remodel inside and out. The result is beautiful space with hand-hewn reclamation hardwood floors or warmed travertine throughout. Throughout the project, as things evolved, I got different ideas and Jim always responded with creative solutions and no back-lash for changing my mind. The change orders increased the cost and schedule but it was worth it. I am totally pleased with the end result and practically have a new house with fully redesigned kitchen, baths, utility and bar area including wiring, plumbing to the street, gutters, doors, windows & courtyard. We even covered the tacky red brick on the front with stucco for a far more stately exterior. Even three years after the remodel, JWC and subs have responded to several minor problems with no additional charge. They are all professional nice people that I enjoy seeing and welcome into my house. Jim is very creative in responding to what seemed like my crazy requests. For example, I wanted to move the washer and dryer from the garage inside the house. Jim created a design to repurpose wasted space in the guest bath to a fully enclosed utility room with cabinets, while retaining a beautiful full bath with large Jacuzzi tub. I was not at all sure how to go about it but asked Jim to come up with a solution to extend a table from the kitchen island without blocking the interior access door to the garage. He and his team designed a beautiful table that easily pulls out of the island to create space about the size of a card table then easily retracts to avoid blocking pathway to the garage. I use that space more than the bistro table in the kitchen or the formal dining table. It is perfect for prepping vegetables, doing projects and serving meals while remaining a beautiful piece of furniture and not compromising the storage space in the island. Another example of creativity was turning an unneeded pantry into a beautiful bar area with copper sink, beer/wine fridge and under-counter ice maker. I just love the luxury of that ice maker with the tiny cubes of ice, it makes me smile whenever I scoop ice into a glass or pitcher and I didn't have to sacrifice kitchen cabinet storage to get it! We had a little problem with the paint on the garage floor but JWC re-did it until we got the right material to adhere to the concrete without coming up driving the car in and out. JWC is not the cheapest contractor but I firmly believe you get what you pay for. When the remodel was completed the re-fi appraisal was a little over what I paid for the property plus the extensive remodel, even though re-fi appraisals are notoriously low. I have recommended JWC to many friends who are equally pleased with the result and will continue to highly recommend JWC going forward,

Their subcontractors (specifically concrete and stucco repair) were top-notch. You can't even tell the stucco had to be repaired. Construction costs in the Bay Area are not cheap, but these guys do it right - totally worth it!

After meeting with several contractors, Daniel stood out because he was detailed, straightforward, and clearly understood the permitting process. The project included foundation work, framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, and complete interior finishes. What we appreciated most was the communication. We always knew what stage we were in and what was coming next. There were a few unexpected challenges during construction (as expected with older homes), but Daniel handled them quickly and explained options clearly without pressure. The finished ADU looks amazing. The layout feels much bigger than 450 sqft, and the finishes came out clean and modern. Inspections passed without issues, and the project stayed close to the original timeline. If you're considering an ADU or full remodel, I would recommend at least meeting with them.

Just moved into my house and am just floored by the incredible work done by the team at Greenberg!…read moreI was originally skeptical of such a major remodel - every friend had horror stories of contactors doing sub par work, disappearing, completely, etc. I was really glad to work with Ohad, our project manager for the project. He'd worked with one of our friends previously, and so we knew he'd do a great job for our project. We also loved Greenberg's integrated approach. The architect, constructions, design and management was all done by Greenberg. This meant that the project from top to bottom was aligned with the team actually doing the construction work. My top priorities were 1) a modern home design 2) a job done with high quality 3) low stress. Ohad / Greenberg helped deliver on all of these aspects in spades. The last thing I wanted to do was have to coordinate with flaky contractors, have to re-do low quality work after a long day at work. Ohad kept the project on track and handled all the hassle of dealing with subcontractors & inspectors. Greenberg probably won't be the cheapest contractor you'll talk to, but as the saying goes - you get what you pay for. Quality work, up to code, and no drama is well worth the cost. Ohad worked with us throughout the project to consider different budget options, and gave candid advice about where he thought the budget would be best spent. Overall, highly recommend. I was referred by a friend and have put multiple friends in touch with Greenberg for their projects as well. Everyone is floored by house nice our remodel turned out and will 100% be in touch in the future for any future projects we have.

We went with Greenberg because they knew how to do modern houses and how to deal with the City. We went from horrible hideous uninsulated shack to a gorgeous gem where we can Age in Place! Every single person who has walked in says, "WOW! It's beautiful! It's incredible what you guys have done!" We have friends & professionals who have built/renovated many houses all exclaim what a high-end luxe job this was! We could not have done this without Greenberg. In particular, we worked with the wonderful Ohad Sherion throughout the process who managed all the subs, city departments involved, neighbors, vendors, etc. Our attention was elsewhere as we were very busy with our work, caring for our elders, so it was invaluable that Ohad kept us up-to-date throughout the process. Ohad was able to make our wishes come true, including bathrooms with custom tiles that were no longer available--so he found us an artisan who recreated them by hand. To make the small space look and feel spacious, we went with an open concept which left few walls to hang art. From the beginning, we worked with Ohad to create a design to showcase our art collection. Ohad is persistent and works to get projects not only functional but beautiful. For example, we have a unique front door which needed to be tweaked and he patiently worked with subs to make it happen. My husband was thrilled that we ended up with a house with superb insulation (including sound), up-to-date plumbing, electrical, and lighting systems. He feels great about the new roof and solar panels. But I am in love with the amazing personal details that make this place a home (finally). We are so grateful to Ohad. Go with Greenberg to make your dream come true!
