Ed helped us find a kitchen designer and choose finishes and flooring that were both beautiful and affordable. The construction work was high quality and on time despite the many challenges presented by our old house. Ed works with excellent cabinet makers and countertop installers. Everyone who sees our new kitchen is impressed by it. **★★★★★ — E K, April 2021** > Ed was highly recommended by a previous client so we knew that we were in good hands from the beginning. He made many valuable interior and exterior design suggestions. He guided us in every step of the construction process to make sensible choices. He was more than a general contractor, part architect and part interior designer for us. It has been almost a year since we moved into our new house, and we are very happy and satisfied with our new home. We highly recommend him! **Comment from Zayer Quality Construction:** > Hello E and K > Thank you so much for posting your review for Zayer Quality Construction and your kind words, it had been pleasure working with both of you on your project, and it makes me happy to hear that you are happy and enjoying your new home. > All the best, > Ed Zayer **★★★★★ — Celia Bakke, Dec. 2017** > Ed Zayer was recommended to me by a neighbor, and I’m extremely pleased that I selected Zayer Construction as the contractor for my kitchen project. This project involved removing all vestiges of my mid-century kitchen and constructing a elegant, modern space. Although, the original footprint was retained several doorways were enlarged, one door was relocated and an expansive skylight was installed. > > Ed is a fine craftsman and a perfectionist who measures and re-measures to ensure that the work is of the highest quality. He suggested solutions for several problematic design issues. He also recommended reinforcing several areas for greater structural safety which I appreciated. Ed and his crew were friendly, always professional and always willing to help in any way possible. The attention to detail and concern for the comfort of the homeowner was evident at all times including site clean up at the end of each day. Also he has established a rapport with numerous high quality sub-contractors whose work enhanced the project. > > I, too, recommend Zayer Construction as an excellent general contractor. Not only is the work of the highest quality, but Ed is a kind, generous individual who is always open in his interactions with the homeowner. **★★★★★ — Eddy Huang, Dec. 2017** > Ed is a general contractor that I would recommend without any reservation. The professionalism of his services can be demonstrated in his attention to the detail of the plan. help me in the process of working with the architectural firm, cost-conscious on behalf of the homeowner, the amount of time he spends on job site, focuses on keeping the construction schedule and not to mention the quality of his and his crews work. **★★★★★ — Gary Pasternak, July 2017** > Ed and crew remodeled our bathroom recently. It was a stellar job from start to finish. His attention to detail, minimizing impact of the job on our home environment, daily clean up, and most importantly the quality of the work were all outstanding. He has a wonderful feel for design and aesthetics and he worked seamlessly with our bathroom designer. This was THE best experience we've had with a contractor and I would recommend Zayer Construction without any reservation. My only complaint was I couldn't book him for another remodel job right away! I may have to wait! **★★★★★ — Nancy Allard, Jan. 2017** > We had the best experience with Ed and his team on our home remodel! He was on budget, on time, and the quality of the finished work continues to be extraordinary. He was also incredibly transparent with us on the status of our project every step of the way, often bringing us into the site to show us what they were working on and to immediately address any questions or issues that might hold up the process. He recommended a wonderful architect and a great kitchen designer that were both so easy to work with. And, he personally helped us with smaller design details when we were indecisive and needed some direction. What an absolute pleasure to work with! We recently recommended him to friends who just completed their remodel with him, and they had high praises also. I highly recommend Zayer Construction for your remodeling needs. You'll be so happy when you project is complete, just like we are! **★★★★★ — Michael Kaufman, Jan. 2017** > On the recommendation of friends, we hired Ed to do a full house renovation which turned our cramped Santa Clara house into a large, open plan space with new master suite and garage. . We could not be happier. Ed is a true professional who provided excellent service, constant updates, and timely advice about everything from permitting to countertops and everything in between. It was a pleasure to work with him and we are happy to recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality building/renovation work. **★★★★★ — Bob Jordan, Dec. 2016** > Our new kitchen is a functional blend of a number of different features: light, colors, space, warmth, and textures. It is beyond anything we could have imagined. Ed Zayer is the person responsible for our dream kitchen. To complete this project, he utilized skill, talent, creativity, and vision. > Two years ago, Ed remodeled the center portion of our home, hardwood flooring, interior and exterior door replacement, room expansion, hardware coordination. We were so pleased with that project that we contracted him to remodel the kitchen. So approximately ten weeks ago we sat down and began working this enterprise. Ed brought the same skills to this project that he had brought to the first one. First of all, he was patient with us. After we agreed on floor plan and budget, he walked us through the decision making process of choosing tile, kitchen appliances, cabinetry, hardware, etc.. He continues to possess the aptitude for working with customers who could be overwhelmed by the required choices associated with a major remodel. As we began to narrow our item selection, he encouraged us to maintain focus on the qualities we desired for the kitchen; that was to select items that provided light, warmth, and space. During each phase of the project, Ed kept us apprised of the modifications he thought necessary to enhance the kitchen. For example, he requested a change in the kitchen layout. This change was much more work for him, but he wanted the best for our kitchen and put our interest ahead of his own. We have a nephew who is a contractor in a different part of the state. When I shared pictures of the completed kitchen, he wrote back, “Great new look. The stove looks better on that side.” It was Ed’s idea to relocate the stove. Throughout the entire project, if we had questions regarding anything in particular, Ed was available and willing to provide answers. > Ed exhibited other skills. Because I am retired, I had the opportunity to witness the work in progress. Ed, along with his assistant, was hands on regarding the work required to finalize certain phases of the project. Not only was he familiar with required tasks, but moreover he knew how to complete them. He had not forgotten the knowledge and practice associated with the trade. At one point, Ed’s assistant was incapacitated. Work proceeded without a hitch; Ed stepped in and finished that section of the job himself. I now realize just how committed he was to the timeline we had established from the start. > Once all materials and supplies were purchased, Ed began the task of assembling the different pieces. The workday began about 8:15 AM and ended at 4:30 PM. Ed was available daily, either in person, by phone, through email, or text. He brought in professionals and instructed them as to how tasks were to be completed. First was the cabinetry. If there was anything that did not match the specs, he made certain the issue was resolved. We followed up with the details of the cabinets and drawers to make sure everything worked properly. When we talked with Ed regarding concerns, he listened and made necessary adjustments. As we requested, there was plenty of room for storage, with spice racks, waste and recycle bins hidden from view. Included were a pantry with sliding drawers and cabinets with frosted glass. As a special touch, Ed included frosted glass in the interior door leading to the laundry room. The cabinets and door give us the light and space we were looking for without compromising function. > Next were the counter tops. When we purchased the slabs to be used for the counter tops, one of them was smudged. Ed made sure the marks did not appear on any of the counter tops used for the kitchen. The tops fit perfectly onto the cabinets with all seams smooth to the touch. What the counter tops bring is color: swirls of dark blue, restrained strips of copper, waves of light blue and grey, and a hint of pinkish red. > The third phase of assembly, the backsplash. Here, Ed suggested Wooden Beige, a brushed tile that complemented the counter top. The tile has little waves running horizontally, punctuated by streaks of grey and copper. Some of the tiles are smooth while others are textured. The tiles themselves are set horizontally running the length the walls at the front of the kitchen. Completing the backsplash is a horizontal row of copper tile the same dimension of the wooden beige tiles. The effect of the combination and placement of tiles is a fresh look with a flow of clean lines. Finally, the flooring. This selection was Ed’s call and the right one at that. The flooring anchors the kitchen with warmth. It is a rustic pattern incorporating the beige in the backsplash and the blueish-grey in the counter top. > What used to be part kitchen and part breakfast nook has become one kitchen. What once was cramped and confined quarters is now spacious and efficient. However, Ed didn’t stop there; he added two more items to the remodel. At one end of the kitchen, above a counter space for eating, Ed situated two red pendant lights. At the other end of the kitchen, around the window above the sink, he painted the area a matching red. They add just the right amount of pop. The second item Ed added was a trellis outside the kitchen window. He envisioned the trellis at the outset of the planning stage. Hanging on the trellis are flowers and a bird’s house. In the morning as the sun rises, the rays reflect off the trellis bringing light into the kitchen. Each morning has become a special occasion. > The kitchen we now have is a testament to Ed’s creativity and vision. We greatly respect and appreciate his ability to transcend traditional patterns to create something new and meaningful. > > Robert and Wendy Jordan **★★★★★ — Thuan Pham, Dec. 2016** > Several years ago, we hired Ed Zayer for a $500K project to extend our home and he did a spectacular job. This year, we needed to remodel our second bathroom and of course we only wanted Ed to do the job and didn't even bid out the project. As expected, the beauty of the design and quality of the construction were superb! We are very happy with the finished product! > > We recommend Ed Zayer and Zayer Quality Construction without any reservation or hesitation. Ed Zayer is honest, kind, generous, detail-oriented, quality-obsessed, and would go to any length to make sure his customers are perfectly happy with the project. You simply cannot go wrong when choosing Ed Zayer and Zayer Quality Construction. **★★★★★ — John Barton, Dec. 2016** > Zayer remodeled the bedroom wing of our house with new electrical wiring, new windows, an additional exterior door, insulation, plywood shear panels, and lapped cedar siding. Inside they installed new lighting, replaced closets, and added wainscoat in one bedroom. Finally they painted the entire exterior. > > Having extensive DIY home construction experience ourselves, we appreciated Ed Zayer's expertise, and dedication to quality craftsmanship. Ed greeted our requests for changes including, for example, bolting the frame to the foundation, with enthusiasm rather than concern. His work was on time and budget; his team was friendly, on time, and completely professional. We have been delighted with the final results. > > We recommend Ed to our neighbors and hope to have him work for us in future. **★★★★★ — Stuart Mass, Dec. 2016** > We had Zayer Quality Construction renovate our master bedroom suite. Ed Zayer worked with us to plan the suite we wanted. Ed always replied promptly throughout the course of the planning as well as the construction. He escorted us to the various vendors for the materials needed for the project. It was a delight working with Ed. Ed and his employees were always courteous and made sure that the remainder of our home remained clean throughout the construction. The project was completed on time and at the agreed upon price. I would highly recommend Ed Zayer Construction to anyone planning a home remodel. **★★★★★ — AG S, Dec. 2016** > Ed Zayer completely remodeled our kitchen, master bath, stairs, flooring, and painting. Our house now looks so beautiful and our best decision in the whole process was to choose Ed to be our contractor. We were new to remodeling and completely overwhelmed by the available options. Luckily, Ed understood our preferences from the very beginning and always kept those in mind when designing and patiently steering us to the right direction. Ed is very knowledgeable, responsive, and really cares about the quality of his work. Often times we came home and found Ed himself was checking the work and making adjustments to little things that we wouldn't have noticed. More importantly, Ed and his whole crew were very trustworthy, approachable, and always polite. We are very happy with his quality work and extremely grateful for Ed and all that he did for us. Thank you, Ed. ## Selected projects - [Santa Clara Custom Renovation with Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/santa-clara-custom-renovation-with-addition-pj-vj~1845036) - Location: Santa Clara, CA - Photos: 27 - [Los Gatos Midcentury Modern Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/los-gatos-midcentury-modern-custom-home-pj-vj~1958836) - Location: Los Gatos, CA - Photos: 47 - [Los Gatos Hill Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/los-gatos-hill-custom-home-pj-vj~1958895) - Location: Los Gatos, CA - Photos: 71 - [Los Gatos Full House Craftsman/Mediterranean Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/los-gatos-full-house-craftsman-mediterranean-renovation-pj-vj~1847484) - Location: Los Gatos, CA - Photos: 29 - [Saratoga Mediterranean custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/saratoga-mediterranean-custom-home-pj-vj~1958917) - Location: Saratoga, CA - Photos: 36 - [San Mateo Custom Full House Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-mateo-custom-full-house-remodel-pj-vj~1851893) - Location: San Mateo, CA - Photos: 28 - [Blue Glass Custom Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blue-glass-custom-bathroom-pj-vj~1851489) - Location: San Jose, CA - Photos: 12 - [Custom Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-kitchens-pj-vj~1959058) - Location: Los Gatos, CA - Photos: 36 - [Custom Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-bathrooms-pj-vj~1958936) - Location: Los Gatos, CA - Photos: 46 - [Belmont project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/belmont-project-pj-vj~1959103) - Location: Belmont, CA - Photos: 16 [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/zayer-quality-construction-pfvwus-pf~2115940720) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/68595143/list/wish-list) — 144 ideas - [landscaping idea book to share](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/68595144/list/landscaping-idea-book-to-share) — 70 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/zayer62) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is the paint color on the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The color on the wall is gold color,and it is custom mixed color. we mixed that on the site for home owner request. **Q: What cabinet wood and color is this?
