Long overdue 5-star review for Fran Yetso Construction! We had a large addition to our house…read more(adding a second floor and doubling our square footage; almost half a million dollars when all said and done). Looking back, I can't imagine what it would have been like with anyone other than Fran. When we first started thinking about our project, everyone would tell us "You have to be careful! You can't trust contractors, they'll just take your money and leave and you'll be stuck!" Having been through the process, I can see where all the concern is on both sides: home renovation is an inherently complex process with countless important details, and overlooking or miscommunicating even one of them can spell disaster that neither side wants to be responsible for. No matter how good your planning, you're going to have unexpected stuff you have to work through with your contractor. In our case, we had a lot of challenges with our architecting process, so, that lead to even more overlooked details that could have been disastrous. In each case, Fran and I were able to sit down, have adult conversations, think of solutions, and come to agreements I felt were fair. At many points, he could have made demands and I would have been stuck with either accepting them or being left with half a house sitting out in the rain. But, I think he's the type of person who foremost wants to be able to look back on his life as having done lots of quality work with integrity -- which I was very thankful for in those situations. If you want to get accurate cost estimates (with any Contractor), spend any extra money to get extra time with your architect filling in details. Never accept "oh, you can decide and figure out those things when you get there." Do your windows open vertically or horizontally? How big is your toilet going to be and how much space is there between it and your sink countertop edge? What's the natural slope of the ground you're putting your foundation on? Having architectural plans with details explicitly annotated down to this level will make everyone's life easier and save you thousands of dollars after the city inspector comes in. Mistakes we made in our architecting process that could have been disastrous nightmares, but, thankfully, were manageable with Fran. I remember my main question at the beginning of the process was "will the cost I'm quoted be the cost I pay in the end?" The final answer: well, no. But, that's because I chose to turn it into something much fancier than what I started with. I do believe that had I kept to the original plan, Fran would have kept within a reasonable bound of his original cost just fine. The next question we had was "will they maintain the timeline they've quoted?" The answer: pretty darn close to it even though we increased the scope as we went. It was actually us that often slowed things down, wanting more time to think about key decisions we needed to make. Fran was quite eager to keep things humming along and we certainly had no sense of feeling abandoned or anything. Naturally, for a project this size, there were a million other questions we had. Rather than enumerate them all here, I'd be happy to answer any questions messaged to my yelp profile. But, in short, we were incredibly lucky to have found Fran and enlisted his help in building our home into a structure with both a professional sturdiness to it and a uniquely designed personality we love :)

Fran and his team did a kitchen remodel for us in 2019. He was patient, diligent, and…read morecommunicative. Good: We worked on a lot fo the details as the project was going on, so we had several conversations with him about what we wanted and the options available, especially lighting and flooring. He was able to work with us, get us what we wanted aesthetically, while also providing us with the time and financial cost differences of our choices. He also helped us fix issues that were caused by our cabinet maker. Not so Good: Although there was not stated deadline in the contract, the project took longer than we anticipated. His main electrician could not stay till the end of our project, which contributed to some delays. Overall, Fran and his team were great! Highly recommended.

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 had a fantastic experience working with Decor Builders on our complete home remodel, including…read moreboth the interior of the house and the front yard. From the very beginning, they helped us with the design and planning process, offered practical suggestions, and guided us in selecting and purchasing quality materials that fit our vision and budget. The entire project was well organized and completed within the promised timeline. Their team was professional, communicative, and paid close attention to detail throughout every phase of the remodel. The quality of the workmanship truly transformed our home. What really sets them apart is their commitment to their customers even after the project is finished. After we moved in, they promptly returned to take care of a few minor fixes and made sure everything was completed to our satisfaction. It's reassuring to work with a contractor who stands behind their work and genuinely cares about the final result. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled contractor for a home renovation or remodeling project.

We really liked the seemlessness of working with the DECOR team. They were great at communication, reminders, suggestions, and help. We loved that we didn't waste time finding different contractors for different parts of the job - they had "a guy" for everything! We had a list of issues with our existing layout, and they helped solve all of them! These included: tearing down a load-bearing wall to create an open concept living/dining/kitchen area, reconfiguring all 4 bedrooms' closets, moving our washer and dryer upstairs, pushing out our garage and master bedroom and adding a master bath with steam shower, upgrading one of the bathrooms to ADA standards, installing recessed lighting throughout the home, installing a new HVAC system, finsihing our basement floors, walls, and ceiling, and re-roofing for solar panel compatibility. They gave us options along the way and supported our choices. We really enjoyed working with Anne, the interior designer. She met us at multiple showrooms to pick out our kitchen and 3.5 bathroom finishes. She knew what materials would work best for our project and created a document with very accurate renderings of each room, and provided links for the purchases that we needed to make. Eddie, our foreman, was amazing and attentive to all of our project needs. He was patient, flexible, and took the time to explain why things were done in a certain way. He made sure everyone involved in the project was on task. We highly recommend DECOR for your next remodel, big or small!

I highly recommend Timeline…read more We used them to design our kitchen cabinets for a remodel over 10 years ago and the cabinets are in great shape. Plus, you can't beat their customer service. We've had a couple of hinges wear out and they simply replaced them...without a charge. Recently, one of the drawers would not close completely and I sent an email with pictures to them to see if they had any suggestions. That same day I received a email back saying they would look into it. A couple of days later, Chris came out to our house and adjusted the drawer. While he was here he also fixed another drawer...all without a charge. The Timeline team takes care of their customers. Great products and great service.

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!

We bought two adjacent lots in Menlo Park and hired King David Home Builders to combine the two…read moreproperties and build one home across the full lot. It was a single story home, around 8,200 sqft, with classical proportions and a painted brick exterior. It was a large project, but one thing we really appreciated was that the house still feels appropriate for the neighborhood and does not look oversized from the street. The full process took close to 28 months from start to finish, but that is a little misleading because we had to pause construction for about a year for personal reasons that had nothing to do with King David. Their project manager handled the pause very professionally, helped coordinate a clean shutdown, kept in touch while everything was on hold, and once we were ready to restart, the project picked back up without feeling like we were starting over. The actual construction time was closer to 13 months. During excavation, they found old utility lines running through the area where the original property line had been. Those had to be rerouted, which was stressful at first, but King David coordinated with the utility company, explained the situation clearly, and showed us the bid before any extra work was approved. We are living in the home now, and looking back, it was absolutely so worth the wait.

There were moments where we had questions or changed our minds on small details, and he never made it feel like a problem. The crew was respectful, showed up consistently, and kept things as clean as possible throughout the process. The final result came out really nice. The new space flows naturally with the rest of the house and doesn't feel like something that was added later. We're really happy we decided to do it.

We recently hired Home Quality Remodeling to transform our living room into a dedicated dance and…read morefitness studio, and we couldn't be happier with the results. This wasn't a typical remodeling project. One of our key requirements was installing a professional sprung dance subfloor, along with creating a space optimized for filming videos and teaching online fitness classes. From the very beginning, Michael, our project manager, took the time to understand our vision and requirements. He was easy to work with, responsive, and offered thoughtful guidance throughout the planning process. A special thank you to Derek and his team, who executed the entire project. Their professionalism, communication, attention to detail, and speed of execution exceeded our expectations. We always knew what was happening, and the craftsmanship was outstanding. One of the highlights of the project is the Venetian plaster finish they created. The texture looks absolutely beautiful in person and photographs incredibly well, making it perfect for video production. The sprung dance floor they installed feels fantastic and performs exactly as we had hoped. The final result truly impressed us. If you're looking for a remodeling company that combines excellent craftsmanship, great communication, and genuine attention to your goals, I highly recommend Home Quality Remodeling. We would gladly work with them again.
