Working with Athos was a Joy! Our home had some serious water damage from our upstairs neighbors, and Athos walked us through every step he and his crew could take to restore our home. He was easily reachable and if we found some material at a different price was able to match. Our home looks amazing and our son loves his restored room. I've been telling other neighbors about the great work these guys do. read more

tldr; excellent work ethic and going above and beyond, but be sure to have materials prepped! In July 2024, after having purchased my home, a condo in downtown San Francisco, the first thing I wanted to do was to remodel my bathroom. Having never done this before, I got about 3 different quotations, and eventually I settled on Remodeling Heroes as they had a decent track record and an acceptable price (for my bathroom remodel, this was in the low 30ks) Once settled, things started to get hairy. I had to navigate fairly onerous HOA requirements like FIIC for flooring (field impact insulation class for noise transmittance) and strict schedules for when workers were allowed to do demo work on the existing bathroom. I was able to work with Om (project manager) and Walter (foreman) to negotiate with the HOA and complete the demo within a day, after which came the longer process of slowly adding the required finishes. Finishes are probably what are most overlooked. I was able to get most of my finishes from East Star Building supply - which includes the tiles used. I opted for large ones for both the shower and the floor to reduce grout and thus the amount of cleaning needed. I also opted for a frameless shower with brass / brushed furnishes to keep maintenance low. Measurements were also complicated - I had to make sure everything would fit, and worked closely with Om and Walter to make sure it would work with the limited space available. I highly recommend working all these out long before demo and construction starts as it can be a very involved process. Eventually everything was neatly and installed and to spec, and inspection by the city was passed. There were complications with the HOA regarding onerous foam requirements for the baseboard but I was able to acquire the necessary form off Amazon so that was settled nicely. The only really hiccup came with the installation of the toilet, where there was some carelessness that led to water leaking to the unit below but fortunately we were able to get that sorted out. Overall it was a fairly stressful experience, but eventually the job was completed in a fairly tight timeline even with the struggles in satisfying the HOA. I have been quite pleased with the finished result, which is well done and so far has not shown any signs of water leaks. I love my new bathroom and am very happy with the result! read more

Had great results with Remodeling Heroes and would definitely go with them again on other projects. I had a relatively small project to remove our living room fireplace to give us more space in our living room and cap off the gas line. I received a few quotes and Remodeling Heroes didn't come in at the lowest, but I went with them due to reviews and opted to pay a little more for quality. Athos is a great project manager. He came in and filled me in on what can and can't be done and advised on other changes. I also wanted some other minor things fixed and he was very accommodating. He was able to fit my project into their schedule, in my budget and got the job done on time as estimated. I like their ethics and I like their billing arrangements. Transparent pricing on labor and material costs with proof of billing. My family was happy with the results. Thanks again Athos! read more

I have been dealing with a litany of issues with the City of Oakland, including a few open permits and a code violation based on my neighbor's drainage issues (yes, you read that correctly!). Larry from Remodeling Heroes was patient, yet responsive in ensuring that the issues with city are resolved and he was able to ultimately get all of the repairs done. He helped to navigate the city's bureaucracy and dealt with inspectors. Resolving this complex project would have been VERY difficult for me to have done on my own and I am appreciative of Remodeling Heroes handling this project and seeing it the=rough to the end! read more

Remodeling heroes did wonderful work on our home. We hired them back at 2022 to remodel our kitchen and it went great. 1 year later we had a roof leak that damaged half of the house, we took advantage of the catastrophe to remodel and increase the size of our home from 1200 sqft to 1800 sqft. Team was great, came on time everyday. We're very respectful and very understanding. I like the fact that Heroes has their own showroom, so we didn't need to got far. We always recommend Heroes to friends and family but wanted to put it on Yelp as well read more

We had an overall great experience and would recommend them to others! No contractor is perfect and there's always going to be hiccups in any big construction project, but where I appreciated them was that they were great at communication/keeping us informed and were fair and understanding with our decisions. We're very happy with the final product! read more

The team was great in the work they did, communication throughout, and continuity of work throughout.

Remodeling Heroes did an amazing job on my home renovation. Everything was straight forward and they even finished the work ahead of schedule. The crew did a fantastic job on the house and were very responsive when I reached out. Would highly recommend! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Idan from Remodeling Heroes. Our goal was to add 700 square feet to our home and build a family room and a master suite. We were impressed by the amount of knowledge that Idan brought to the table and how he was able to reach our goals and almost the same layout we hoped for with 300 square feet less, which saved us tons of money and looking back I think that a 700 square feet with take us off budget and just add amount of stress to the project. Heroes team was very nice and respectful, they kept the site clean and remove all the debris constantly. The price wasn't the cheapest, I must say, we have received lower bids. Generally 9 out of 10, we will definitely recommend them to family and friends read more

About 5 months ago we hired Remodeling heroes to remodel our kitchen. The kitchen was very old and never been touched, generally we never did any work on the house and were very hesitant to do anything. Idan was able to create a design for us and he hit it right on the nail, after few more versions we end up going with the first one. Project started a month later, our foreman was Ignacio, seem like very knowledgeable guy. They were able to complete remodel our kitchen within 6 weeks. We were so impressed so we hired them to add 200 square feet to our house and build our dream master suite. This project should start in the summer. Our kitchen looks amazing, the crew was great and the price was fair, we don't have any bad word honestly. read more

Anyone who has gone through a home renovation knows it's no small feat. When my husband and I decided to move our family to a temporary home for 4 months during a complete home renovation (kitchen, 3 bathrooms, laundry room, 2 fireplaces, stairs and floors all throughout the house), our top priority was to work with someone who was trustworthy. When we met Idan, we immediately felt like he was someone we could not only trust, but who was aligned with our values and vision for our home. He was patient in walking us through every step of the project- from helping us choose materials within our budget, to being clear in his understanding of what we envisioned. And even a couple of months since completing our renovation, Idan still checks in with us to see how everything is going with our home. We have had a great experience with Remodeling Heroes and highly recommend working with them. read more

I hired remodeling heroes for a small kitchen upgrade and end up doing an addition to our home. We worked with Idan and I love the fact that they have a design team that helped us with material picking and took us to different showrooms, they even provided a free 3D. We extended the house 300 square feet and added a master suite and and a dan. While taking other bids we realized that remodeling heroes were the most expensive but after starting the project we understood why. They use technology for everything, keep us up to date on the project and on a daily basis, great communication skills. I was surprised how smoothly it went. Our friend that did similar project with another company, started he project before us and finished 2 months after us. So we super appreciate these Heroes read more

We recently finish a kitchen and 2 bathroom remodels with Heroes. I had the pleasure to work idan. When we first met Idan we weren't sure what we wanted to do. Our kitchen has a large footprint but it's poorly designed, luckily, Idan and his team were able to generate few design options and one really caught our eyes. We had to do some layout change so that required and architectural plans, we submitted the permits for approval and started the project. During the work we started planing for the bathroom design, that was much easier, we had to relocate for 2 months which was very difficult with 2 kids. Our general feeling is that this company really care about their customers, they really put an effort to provide daily updates and let us know about upcoming delays . Very recommended read more

Larry M. and his crew were really helpful in remodeling my bathroom. They were punctual, communicative, supportive and hard working to deliver the project on time. I'm looking forward to working with them on future house remodeling projects. read more

We contacted Remodeling Heroes through Yelp and they were quick to respond. Larry came to our house within a week to look at the project we requested. Their pricing was fair, Larry was easy to get in touch with and their timeline worked well for our small project. I wish I took before photos but the after is just wow. They truly changed the layout of our house by just knocking out a wall and adding lighting. Alejandro was our project manager and we honestly can't say enough good things about him and Larry. They took their time to go through the details and help us with decision making. Alejandro even took the time to find a custom door from a previous project to fit our space. We look forward to working with them on future projects. read more

It was an absolute delight to work with Idan and his team on a bathroom remodel and renovation project. Every step of the way, Idan ensured we were well informed, took our feedback, provided his expert opinion, and guided us through our project. Idan's attention to detail helped us make decisions faster when picking out finishes such as tile and fixtures. I appreciate how organized Idan kept the team to keep us moving efficiently through the project. His team of professionals took care to ensure we were able to live in the house while under construction. We appreciate Idan's professionalism and deep care when addressing concerns or questions throughout the project. If you're looking for a remodeling partner, look to Idan and his team! read more

Excellent choice to remodel our bathroom in our 100 year old home. Everything was broken or worn out. We are a senior couple and wanted to plan for the future. I was very impressed with the project manager, foreman and workers. They were attentive, respectful and worked with great skill. They kept the vintage details we wanted, like the window and door frame. We installed a walk-in tub, which was unusual, but they did a great job with it. When problems arose, they always had an good solution, such as when the wall tile we chose turned out to be unavailable. They made good alternative suggestions to my ideas, such as a glass panel on the open side of the tub instead of the built-up wall I thought we needed (less space, easier to clean, and lets in more light). They handled all permits and observed all code requirements, like a new main electrical panel and lead paint abatement. The price was reasonable (I obtained other bids). I recommend them highly. read more

I used Remodeling Heroes for my recent kitchen renovation project and couldn't be happier with the results! Raz and foreman Luciano were knowledgeable and helpful from the start. They understood I had a well thought-out design and was looking for the most cost effective way to execute my vision. Raz was responsive and reliable, from helping me choose and transport project materials to offering multiple solutions to the inevitable challenges that come up. Most importantly, these folks enjoy their work and are delightful to have around! read more

I used Remodeling Heroes to remove an odd dividing wall in a new home that I purchased. They were a great combination of skill, professionalism, and efficiency at an extremely reasonable price. Athos & his team were very friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the entire process, sending progress photos and keeping me informed of what was going on while I was on vacation in a different country. It was great dealing with a company that I knew I could trust with my home while I was away and delivered the exact results that I wanted in the end. I would recommend them highly and definitely use them again if I do any future work at my home. read more

This staff were very helpful... even answered phone when on lunch and started a text with me! Booked with ease! The technician arrived on time and assessed the hot water heater quickly! The hot. Water heater was turned on and everyone was happy!!! I received a text and email invoice, which was so convenient!!! Plumbers are always expensive, so I knew I was in for about $300 to start, and that's almost exactly what it costed! Thanks Plumbing Heroes!!! read more

I had a guy named Om come by, promised to get back in a week with an estimate, no update. I am not sure of all these positive reviews, are they fake or what. I did not even get an estimate from Remodeling Heroes. A complete waste of my 3 weeks waiting and following up with no response from the Remodeling Heroes. read more

We hired Heroes few months ago to help us with a permit set for an addition. We meet with their architect, at first we didn't appreciate that the architect was going against some of our ideas. Later on we realized that our ideas were very expensive and he was just trying to help us stay in budget. All in all it was a savior. We end up hiring heroes to construct a addition as well. Although they came is the most expensive out of the three bids but we trusted them. During the construction they kept us informed every step of the way, including hiccups and delays which we appreciate it since we were renting a place during the construction. We appreciate the knowledge that Idan brought to the project and help us to guide through. The workmanship was very high-quality and we will not hesitate to recommend them to our neighbors read more

2 weeks ago remodeling heroes completed a second story addition for our house. We added a 400 square feet above the garage, we added staircase and added new HVAC in the attic and raise the the ceiling height. The process took about 11 months, include planning and permitting and approval process by the city. My foreman was Eran and he did great work communicating the different steps of the project, informing us about delays and inspections. They also helped us to source the material for the flooring and stone. My only feedback is that site was a bit dirty during the construction . They did clean up every time I brought it to their attention. Overall we had great experience read more

Several months ago I've worked with Eran on my ADU design. The permitting team was very good, kept me posted on the progress and keep me up to date. Once the permits got approved they immediately scheduled the starting date and, the team was pleasant and nice, the ADU was done about 3 weeks ago and seem like everything was done great, no leaks or issues with the electrical. The work took a bit more than they said it will take, that's was a bit disappointing but they did communicate delays so I'll give them that. Over all it was good experience and I will recommend them to who ever is looking for a construction firm read more

The Remodeling Heroes team worked with us over 6 months for a significant home rebuild after we had some water damage and subsequent mold. We had another contractor remove the mold and a lot of the damaged materials, but we were stuck in a transition point in the project when the scope of the rebuild surpassed our first contractors capacity. Idan and team were referred to us by a friend using them already, and they were extremely responsive and optimistic about how we might move forward on the project without some of the capacity constraints that we had heard from other contractors. We talked through the scope of the project, estimated costs, expectations on working together, and everything else we needed at a very stressful time, and we really appreciated the Hands-On onboarding that we got. The first big win is this team's ability to engage the city on permits - they have a dedicated team member who was fantastic at staying with the city to move our complicated situation through all necessary signatures. We had no issues with any subsequent inspections for the same reason. The overall building team worked diligently for many months to get us back to a solid place. We had a couple of change orders, which we communicated about very openly and effectively, and we really appreciated the flexibility with which Idan and team operate - they understand that we have resource constraints and yet might need to get work done, so they get creative with us to understand how to best solve the problem. With multiple subcontractors and timelines, we had some challenges near the end of the project in nailing down the exact move-in date, but we were able to communicate openly about it and moved in when all the critical work was already done, and then we had a few weeks of project work while we were already living in the house. The trailing punch list of items was easy to discuss, and the team took care of everything we brought up within reason. If you have a complex project, you definitely have to stay on it with any contractor, which is our experience here, and what we appreciated was that this team was always open to the conversation and responsive to our needs. read more

I hired this team to do a remodel of my late mother's home. Built in the 1920's with very little updating since then, it was a disaster of a place. Idan helped me come up with a plan that I could have never conceived on my own. I actually felt good about the project for the first time after that initial meeting and let him make many of the creative decisions as this is his passion (not mine). He gave me a fair and comprehensive proposal and stuck to the number, despite all of the unexpected things that popped up during the project (ex. a very large mushroom decided to grow out of a crack in kitchen ceiling due to a roof leak, no kidding). What RH did was amazing, especially if you knew how bad it was at the beginning. They had to deal with Oakland city permitting in the midst of that department's data breach issues last year. This caused a major delay, but I really appreciated how the whole team stayed totally on top of it until it got done. I've recommended RH to 3 people already. I'm so grateful to them for making a very major, and potentially stressful, project, dare I say, enjoyable :-) read more

I found this small local shop. A rep came right away however the actual plumbers were not available until a few days so we had to take cold showers in the meantime. They were friendly, knowledgeable and cleaned up the mess. I am happy I called and would contact them again. read more

I had a problem pocket door which had plagued me for years. I finally contacted Remodeling Heroes and was able to do some initial diagnosing remotely, via FaceTime. Very convenient! I was given a "best case/worst case" range of options. Scheduling was easy. Luciano's experience and expertise led to a best case scenario, and the job was completed in less than a day, even touch-up painting! I would recommend Remodeling Heroes. read more

Remodeling Heroes are unreliable and are not good with communication. They quoted us for repairing our vinyl floor then it took a week and a half for them to schedule the work, in fact they did not get back to me, work was scheduled because I called back multiple times to follow up. When I finally got to speak to someone, they were kind to work with our schedule and schedule the work to be done over night. We had to reschedule on our end per our store manager's request to do it in the day instead. Once a again, they took week to get back to me and scheduled the work to be done following week. The day they finally could do the work they cancelled due to an emergency. I understand emergencies happen, but they never sent someone else (They outsource the work to contractors). I have been trying to reschedule but no response, I was not going to wait another week... It's unfortunate because if a good job would have been done, we were going to request our other locations to have new flooring. read more

We worked with Idan and his team at Remodeling Heroes to install new floors and remove the popcorn ceiling in our new home. He helped us understand the process and the timing of the project as well as help us think through and navigate dealing with some cracks we found in the foundation. Idan provided a competitive estimate for the scope of work and was very proactive, communicative, and diligent in providing options and his professional insight. Idan and the Heroes team helped us get the job done in the agreed upon timeframe all while working with us for input on the finer details. When an unexpected issue came up, Idan and team communicated with us quickly and with transparency, rose to the challenge and took care of it. Many thanks to Idan and his team at Remodeling Heroes for helping us customize our home. We will definitely be in touch for our future remodeling needs! read more

Initially contacted Heroes for cabinet refacing. We end the up adding 400 square feet to our home and fully renovating our top floor. We were amazed of their communication skills compare to other contractors. Our project manager was Om and he was very impressive with his knowledge about design and city codes. We started by drafting a floor plan and working with their architect was quick and easy. The work went smoothly surprisingly enough. I must say that they could kept the outside more clean, the back yard was full of debris for over 2 weeks, but once we said something they sent a truck the next day to pick it up. We had 1 tool that gone missing and they replaced it for us. We will 100% recommend them to anyone that looking for a design and build service Thank you Om read more

Our PM, Meril, and her full service architecture, design and construction team (Bar, Roman, Oscar) did an incredible job on our Portola SF remodel. They added and redid one bathroom, added a skylight, and fully remodeled the kitchen. The team did an incredible from architecture and design to full installation. They offered great communication through and through. They handled permit communications with the city of SF with ease and we never even got involved once! Would highly recommend to use Remodeling Heroes for any project again! read more

Idan was professional and communicative. He offered to support me in deciding on flooring and came to Home Depot with me to talk me through the choices. I learned a lot about remodeling from talking with him, which is valuable for me as a homeowner. He was willing to answer all of my questions and talk through different options. He was very flexible in customizing a plan that worked for me (e.g. I wanted to do the painting myself). He was also extremely patient with some delays caused by my insurance company. Unlike many contractors, he was prompt with communication, and sent over a detailed invoice, which is again helpful for me as a homeowner. I also got the sense he really cares about his customers' experience, and when something came up that didn't work for me, he was generous in making sure I was satisfied. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience and would work with Idan again. read more

We had the main water line break due to corrosion. We called Heroes and they came out early the next day. The Technician that out (ceasar) was extremely professional, knowledgeable and replaced the broken pipe with no problem. We will definitely call on them again. read more

TWELVE HOURS!! Needed garbage disposal replaced. Contacted the Plumbing Heroes around 10pm. Got an immediate quote for the work (none of the other firms gave a quote from initial inquiry). They showed up with the new disposal when promised (12 hours after first contact) and boom! Job done. I was billed exactly what I expected. Clean & complete. Could not ask for a better result. These guys rock! read more

I did not find anything heroic about my initial consult with this company. The initial visit was very uncomfortable. When I explained I was working with the Veterans Administration as my husband is 100% disabled and received a grant to help with the costs the meeting was pretty much over. She never even asked if I had other money which I do. The verbal quote I received was double the other quotes given for the same Job. They are way overpriced and very money focused. When I questioned how high they were should could not leave fast enough. Shame because I had other funds I could have added but I was so turn off by the focus on money over quality I was no longer interested. I would not recommend this company to any Veterans. FOLLOW UP: I want to address some Of the comments below from The owner. 1. The project was 300 Sq ft not 900sq ft and was. not an ADU. It was for a master bedroom and bath only. 2. My husband is 100% incapacitated and could not have met with the project manager as noted. 3. I mentioned a sum of money I was going to use from the VA but was never asked if I had the intention to use my own money, which I plan to do in addition. So the comments about looking for extremely low budget is completely false. I was looking for a reasonable Budget. 4. I have only posted 2 other reviews of folks who did not even come to have a discussion so it was not the same experience at All. 5. Those that did Provided much better information and estimates. They each gave much lower estimates and spent considerable time Going over ideas. This company was literally at my house for - max of 20 mins if that and was walking out of the door. 6. Quoting over 300k for a 300 sq ft addition is extremely overpriced. I received 3 other estimates for the exact same job and none of them exceeded 200k. 7. I have not received any coupons and that's OK because I will not be recommending or using this firm for the reasons listed above. read more
