Yaniv managed a major renovation on our home that included expanding the second floor, remodeling…read morethe kitchen, permitting the 'iffy' spaces, and updating several other areas. It was a complicated project with neighborhood hearings, permits, inspections, and a seemingly endless number of decisions, and he did a great job helping us navigate all of it. We didn't use an architect or a designer, meaning we relied entirely on Yaniv's expertise to brainstorm layout and design ideas. He was a great sounding board, incredibly clear in his communication, and an expert at navigating the complex web of California building codes and city permits. He made it explicitly clear what decisions were required on our end and guided us through what I thought was an overwhelming process. We also appreciated how accommodating he was while we were dealing with construction during the pandemic with a baby. We had to move out temporarily for the demo portion, but Yaniv worked hard to accommodate our schedule so we could move back in sooner rather than later. Any large construction project is going to have its hiccups, but my wife and I are still very happy with the finished product years later. I'd absolutely recommend Yaniv to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable, practical, and easy to work with.

I've stumbled on a fabulous contractor!…read more Our home is 8 years old, and we shouldn't have had the water leakage we had. The shower in the second bath had been leaking, causing extensive damage. We had to completely replace the bathroom due to water infiltration, as well as some sheetrock in the dining room and the second bedroom. When I was in my 20s, I would have repaired myself, but now I'm in a wheelchair and decisively, not 20!! I was referred to a contractor from Concord named Yaniv Taragano, of Taragano Design and Build, and that was the best referral ever! We also had other projects in mind: replace the kitchen sink with a copper one, replace the under-cabinet lights, install two ceiling fans, add "can lights" to the main bedroom, add a pot-filler, replace the bathtub, add a door to the laundry room, and re-paint the interior. Yaniv saved us a bunch of money throughout the project. For instance, he color-matched the wall paint exactly, so only a touch-up was necessary to achieve beautiful walls! He's bonded and insured, and most importantly, he and his people are very careful. I also checked out his license, and there was not a single blemish. He was very timely, and he or his foreman came every day on time. His workers were very cognizant that we still lived in the house and carefully cleaned up every day. If you need, call Yaniv Taragano at (925) 388-6365, or visit his website: https://www.taraganoremodeling.com/ On top of everything else, he and his lovely wife Katie are just genuinely nice people!

What stood out most was their ability to problem-solve and find solutions when challenges came up, especially when working with the city of SF, which is quite a feat.

After living in our home for over 22 years, our bathrooms were in sore need of remodeling. We…read morefinally decided to take the plunge, since we felt that costs will likely only get higher the longer we wait. We got 3 estimates. One company was higher priced, and another was in the same ballpark as Bear. We know there are cheaper alternatives, but you get what you pay for, and we wanted a place we could trust. We decided on Bear after meeting the project manager, Joel. He inspires confidence as he really knows what he's talking about, has a warm, easy-going personality, and we felt he really listened to our needs and desires. Joel's responsiveness and passion for his work were the main reasons we chose Bear, along with their overwhelmingly great customer reviews on Yelp. After our permit was approved, they started on the exact date promised. Prior to the start date, I received a lot of guidance on exactly what and how much materials we needed to purchase. They required all the materials to be ready for pickup and/or delivered before starting, to avoid any delays. I'm a graphic designer, so I have a good idea of how I want things to look. I had in mind to create a tranquil look like a luxury spa, but using simple materials. Joel and the consultant at the kitchen and bath supply store made some suggestions to help make the bathrooms look bigger since they are on the small side. Their advice was spot on. Both bathroom remodels were completed in exactly 3 weeks time as promised, aside from a few minor touch-ups and waiting for the glass shower door fabrication, which were installed 4 weeks after the start date. Joel and Joseph, the foreman, really kept things moving like a well-oiled machine. All of this was done in the midst of Joel and his wife having their first baby! At one point, the project looked like it was going to be stalled after the city inspector came in the morning for the rough wall inspection, which we passed. The next available appointment for the wet wall (waterproofing) would've been 2 weeks later. Joseph asked the inspector what could be done to speed it up, and was told the inspector could come by in 2-3 hours at the end of his shift to check whatever they could get done by then. Joel rushed over to help the crew of 4 and they completed a full day's work in that short span. We passed the inspection that afternoon and the rest of the project proceeded as scheduled. Like many remodeling projects, there were a few challenges that arose after opening up the walls, but nothing that slowed them down or added too much difficulty. While we did not move any plumbing or walls, the bathrooms were gutted from floor to ceiling. We had everything newly built/installed: tile, tub, shower, toilets, custom-built floating vanities, countertops, fixtures, floating shelves, recessed medicine cabinets, vanity lights, recessed ceiling lights, and a lighted LED mirror. We are blown away by the results. It is amazing how much more spacious the rooms appear, and what used to be eyesores have transformed into soothing retreat spaces, just like we had dreamed of.

Even though this wasn't the largest remodel for their company, they treated us as if it were a million‑dollar renovation -- with care, respect, and exceptional attention to detail. Jacob was an outstanding owner to work with. He approved everything quickly, stayed flexible, and worked with us on a payment schedule that made the process smooth and stress‑free. His communication was clear, and he made sure we always felt supported throughout the remodel. From the project manager to the foreman, to the crew and subcontractors, everyone showed up ready to deliver. Jacob's team moved fast -- gutting the kitchen, updating the wiring, and completing an impressive amount of work within the first four days. The craftsmanship was excellent, and the workflow was organized and efficient. Jacob was involved with our supplier who handled all the materials, including our new cabinets and kitchen counters. They kept everything on schedule and made the selection process easy. There was no constant back‑and‑forth, no need for us to oversee every detail. The team stayed on top of the project from beginning to end, keeping the schedule tight and the quality consistently high. Even with the limited funds we had to work with, they transformed our old, dark kitchen into a bright, modern, beautifully updated space that is completely new. The results exceeded our expectations. We're truly grateful for the professionalism, consistency, and quality of work from S&L Remodeling. Jacob's leadership and his team's dedication made the entire experience exceptional.

We actually met with quite a few contractors before we found Mike. Honestly, the fact that he was willing to come out on a Saturday just to work around our crazy schedules told us everything we needed to know right off the bat. From that first meeting, Mike just 'got' it. He didn't just listen; he offered real insight on how to open up the space and make it actually functional for our family while keeping the modern look we wanted. Even when the inevitable hiccups popped up, Mike always had a workaround ready. He wasn't just a guy we hired; he felt like a partner in the whole process. Our home is beautiful, and we can't recommend Mike enough if you're looking to start your own project.

They started in mid-December and finished by April 7, earlier than we anticipated, and that timeline included a major setback: an 80-foot redwood tree fell on the house during a Christmas storm. The roof was crushed, part of the structure separated, and we lost power for nearly a week. It was a stressful situation, and they handled it. They repaired all of the damage and still completed the full project within budget. That alone says a lot about how they run their jobs. Or Haim, the owner, is very communicative and genuinely cares about making sure everything meets expectations. That level of involvement made a difference. The fantastic onsite team was led by Jesus, who treated the project like it was his own home. He was thoughtful, detail-oriented, and clearly took pride in the work. We would absolutely hire Gilor again and are happy to serve as a reference.

We've done several other home improvement projects in the past and had such a headache with the contractors and sub-contractors not showing up when they said they would, or not paying attention to details, so I know how rare it is to find a contractor you actually like! Plus, their bid came in much lower than the three other contractors who quoted for us. We replaced four bathroom vanities which seemed like a small project, but required more skilled work than we originally imagined - including redoing plumbing and moving electrical to accommodate the new layout of vanity, mirrors, and lighting. The crew was very careful to cover surfaces to prevent damage (and also avoid dust getting on all our things) and to clean up their tools and equipment at the end of each day so we could have our space back. Arturo did really stellar work and clearly pays attention to the small details, like smooth caulking lines and patching each little area of drywall and paint to ensure a completely finished project. Their communication was great, and when we ran into a few hiccups with how to best install wainscoting, Jesus ensured we were happy with the plan before the crew moved forward with it. All in all, we really recommend Gilor and will be using them again for future home projects.
