We had to replace our undermount kitchen sink which had a crack in it and had been installed improperly which necessitated having to remove our original countertop and backsplash. Roy at CDR was wonderful to work with. He addressed all of our concerns and the process was very smooth. Roy told us at the beginning that the project would take 3-5 days, but it ended up being 1 1/2 weeks due to delay in the availability of the tile we chose for our backsplash. We decided to swap out the bathroom vanity in two bathrooms and paint the kitchen & family room. It took 2 half days to get the bathrooms done and the painting took 1 1/2 days. We ran into a problem with one vanity and they had to relocate the drainpipe. The painter was great at patching the drywall and painting. He even patched up a wall at another part of my house and had the paint matched too. The relocation of the drainpipe and drywall patch up weren't in the contract and we weren't charged for it! The workers put up plastic to decrease the amount of dust we would have to deal with, and they entered thru the patio door reducing traffic and dust in other parts of the house. We are very happy with CDR and are now using them to spruce up our bathrooms. The crew was so pleasant and respectful that the whole experience seemed like it was a breeze. Roy made us feel at ease and nothing was too hard to handle. Any concern I had was addressed. Customer service at its best! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Hi Patrick, > > Thank you for making the Clever Choice for your home Renovation. It’s been our pleasure working on your beautiful home and communicating with you throughout the project. > > Roy, Gili and our entire team are humbled by your wonderful review, kind words and recommendations. > > At your service, > The CDR Team ### All 60 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-515258989, May 2026** > I cannot emphasize how happy we are with Gili and his team. We hired them to do a kitchen remodel with some structural elements, and we were blown away. I’ve worked with many contractors in the past, and a lot of them say “we just want you to be happy”, but Gili and his team truly meant it. > > Firstly, Gili introduced us to one of his designers, who helped us lock-in on a design that satisfied all of our needs. Then, his team provided photorealistic renderings of the space, which were so good that they were in distinguishable from the final product. We knew exactly what we were going to get before any construction started, which was invaluable. > > Gili’s team was extremely coordinated with permitting, material ordering, and work completion. We didn’t have materials that we had to store for long periods of time, because they had a strong idea of when we would need to place the orders so that they would arrive right on time. In the Bay Area, where we don’t have a lot of space, this was amazingly helpful. > > The final product was exactly what we wanted, and throughout the process Gili continued to check in and make sure that everything was perfect. > > We were so happy with the work, that we plan to reach out to clever design for all of our projects moving forward. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting Gili and the Clever Design team with your kitchen remodel! It was truly a pleasure bringing your vision to life. We’re thrilled to hear how happy you are with the entire process and final result. We look forward to working with you again on future projects! **★★★★★ — HU-167739414, Nov. 2025** > Working with Gili and his Clever Design & Remodeling team on our home addition and bathroom remodel was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Gili worked with whatever resource we had for our project and delivered above and beyond. The entire team was professional, communicative, and highly skilled. They stayed transparent on schedule, kept the workspace clean every day, and handled unexpected challenges with creative solutions and a positive attitude. > The craftsmanship is excellent--our new space looks beautiful and feels seamlessly integrated with the rest of our home. The bathroom, in particular, turned out even better than we imagined, with flawless tile work and thoughtful design details. We truly appreciated their attention to detail and commitment to quality. > > We highly recommend Clever Design & Remodeling to anyone looking for reliable, top-quality work. It's rare to find a contractor who has a great track record in the Bay Area that combines great communication, integrity, and craftsmanship. **★★★★★ — marialchen, March 2024** > We hired Clever Design & Remodeling for our masterbath, powder room, & laundry room remodel. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly Gili was able to come over to our home & give us an estimate. I interviewed 3 contractors, & we hired Gili for his reasonable bid & his "can-do" attitude. > > The project started with meeting Liane, their in-house designer. I can't say enough about how kind & patient Liane was in helping me design & pick out materials. She listened so attentively while I went over my wish list. Liane is so responsive & detail-oriented. When I was having trouble deciding on a tri-view medicine cabinet with LED mirror, Liane was so patient in going over the pros & cons with me. I really love the end result! It's so beautiful and functional! Everything is hidden away with no clutter on the counter. > > Each person that came to work in our home was so professional, polite, and very pleasant to have around. > > Along the process, Gili gave us some great recommendations, such as upgrading our original electrical panel, and removing carpet to reveal hardwood floors in adjacent master bedroom. > Gili is such a nice guy. He never once said no to any of my requests along the way. In the last week of our project, I suddenly realized I really wanted additional recessed lighting in our hallway. Gili did not hesitate to comply with my request, even though we were trying to meet a deadline. > I felt very comfortable calling Gili anytime with questions or concerns & he always made me feel confident that it can be done. > I love a "can-do" attitude! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Maria, > We are incredibly grateful for your kind words. We are extremely happy that you are pleased with the end results! **★★★★★ — Alexa Lurie, March 2022** > Gili designed a beautiful and functional space that was based on our ideas and preferences and at the same time reflected his excellent design aesthetic. We have an older house that needed a lot of updating. Gili was superb and paid attention to every detail and offered wonderful creative advice as we needed. The team of installers were very professional and explained the procedure every step of the way as they completely remodeled and updated our family room and kitchen and an area we wanted tiled. Thank you Clever Design and Remodeling, and special thanks to: Gili for the finishing touches that made our house look so incredible. **★★★★★ — Joel Bacher, March 2022** > We needed to hire a contractor to finally renovate or kitchen and 2 and 2 1/2 bathrooms so we turned to references. We had interviewed with 3 companies then met with Clever Design and Remodeling. Roy has a great ability in turning a vision into design and provided some great alternative ideas to what we hoped to achieve. Every aspect of the job was well thought out in advance, and their ability to manage multiple tasks flawlessly at once was impeccable. The result of their excellent work is a beautiful and very functional home for us to enjoy. I highly recommend Roy and Clever Design and Remodeling. **★★★★★ — Mason Daley, March 2022** > Clever Design & Remodeling handled our home improvements, demolition, and installation of a kitchen, updated bathrooms and built-in entertainment center. Our master bathroom was rebuilt from the floor to ceiling. The team as a whole did a wonderful job with communicating, minimizing the impact of the project on the rest of the house, and recommending design/functional elements. Gili’s recommendations were key in bringing together the look we wanted. I love that my house is not only updated, but beautiful as well. **★★★★★ — Jenna Linde, March 2022** > After interviewing several builders to remodel our kitchen, we chose Clever Design and Remodeling. The Clever crew and staff are all amazingly professional, helpful, and responsive to all of our questions and needs. Roy adeptly mediated our differing views of wants and needs during the design phase, offering welcome design, product, and material suggestions. It is so nice to walk into our new kitchen every day and enjoy all the details that they beautifully put together. We are super excited now the remodel is completed and Roy gave us the kitchen we always wanted. They all functioned well as a team and it was truly a pleasure to work with Roy. **★★★★★ — Paul Manceni, March 2022** > Clever Design and Remodeling was able to beautifully remodel a bathroom in my home that had not been updated (except for minor cosmetic repairs) since it was originally built. Roy was a vital in refreshing our whole house with creative ideas as we updated our home and brought an energy to designing the project that made it a success. He was also really good at picking out what we needed by really listening! I would happily use Clever Design and Remodeling again, if I had another project that needs to be done and ask for Roy by name to be my project manager again. **★★★★★ — Julian Litiam, Feb. 2022** > I was looking to have some work done for the house. Roy understood what we wanted and helped us with redesigning of our home. For context, this was a mid-sized remodel of 3 bathrooms (1 with a major reconfiguration of the layout), entry way, 2 fireplaces, and recessed lighting throughout the house. If it mattered enough to me, Roy would make sure things happen no matter how small or large. We explained to him what we wanted, with some added suggestions from him. Quality work. **★★★★★ — Mel Treiller, Jan. 2022** > We worked with Gili from Clever Design & Remodeling to remodel our mid-century modern kitchen from a cramped and outdated mess to a gorgeous and well-functioning centerpiece of our home. We truly appreciate Gili’s time, dedication, and expertise he applied to our project. Their work was precise and outstanding with every piece and part fitting where it was supposed to go; now the entire house looks spectacular. Gili spent over an hour discussing our existing cabinets and the advantages and disadvantages of refacing or replacing the cabinets and in the end we created lots of useable space. The final design is exactly what we were looking for! **★★★★★ — Rachelle Bayer, Jan. 2022** > We needed a designer that could pull together and implement designs that met our goals of modernization and decided on Clever Design and Remodeling for our kitchen remodel as we liked the idea of them managing the entire project. They took our kitchen and redesigned it to give us an upgraded space, cupboards, and a truly functional room that makes being in the kitchen a joy again! Roy added so many personal touches for us that came out outstanding. **★★★★★ — Andria Visser, Dec. 2021** > Their dedication to details, always there to assist and close guidance delivered a stunning product that we will always be proud of! Roy is an excellent resource for all design questions and also had an amazing ability to design uniquely for our needs. I highly recommend Clever Design and Remodeling and will continue to call upon them for any future home renovations. **★★★★★ — Maddie Pritcher, Sept. 2021** > I found Clever Design and Remodeling and had a couple referrals from other people but Gili was professional and easily understood the vision that we had in mind. We had met with a few different people/companies and nothing seemed to work or they were unwilling to provide me with options that suited my goals until Gili. I finally wanted a more modern updated bathroom and Gili was also able to provide small details that enhanced the look of our space. He was very helpful in suggesting ways to redo our very small (6x8') bathroom. I have to say the bathroom and custom cabinets turned out absolutely beautiful and the crew did the work so fast! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Maddie for these kind words! We had a great time working with you and we hope to hear from you again in your next project! **★★★★★ — Nick Bardsley, Aug. 2021** > Although we had a basic idea of what we were looking for, Clever Design and Remodeling had a number of wonderful design ideas that we incorporated into the final design of our master bathroom. Gili immediately noticed some unfunctional spaces and re-worked the entire layout. Renovations in the bathroom consisted of completely gutting the existing situation and re-configuring the layout for space and efficiency optimization, including putting in a wall mounted toilet and a rain shower and with a custom built, floating white oak vanity. He helped us discover what we truly love in our home and made great recommendations. Clever Design and Remodeling and Gili were an amazing team that completed the installation, and the crew cleaned up before they left for the day. I am amazed what we have been able to accomplish and how in love I am with every detail. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Nick, > It was our pleasure helping you design and remodel your new master bath. Thank you for your great feedback! **★★★★★ — Lexi Philips, Aug. 2021** > Let me start by saying that it's a challenge to find a good, responsible contractor. Roy’s been on top of everything along the way and having a manager who can coordinate is essential for a big project like ours. The work progressed in a timely manner and communication was excellent throughout. Clever Design and Remodeling did our new custom kitchen, cabinets, bedroom closets and our bathroom vanities. Next we needed custom doors and windows since our house was so old and we had to fit all sizes, so once again Roy helped us. We're beyond happy and impressed with Clever Design’s team. The house looks marvelous but the best thing about it is that you can't tell that it was done now it still looks like it was built almost 100 years ago. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Lexi, we really appreciate it! Hope to hear from you again in the future! **★★★★★ — Tamara Packard, Aug. 2021** > We were very pleased with the work performed by Clever Design and Remodeling on our kitchen remodel, updated our electrical and painted the interior and exterior of our home. Gili took the time to understand our needs at the outset and was extremely helpful and professional throughout the process. Clever’s team have been very happy to incorporate my ideas, involving us even in minor details that inevitably come up with the unique architectural grooves and turns each home has, and also suggesting his own ideas. He provided excellent functional and aesthetic suggestions that stayed true to our vision and keeping us informed throughout. It was exciting to see our 26 year old home transform into an even more beautiful space for our family! Our downstairs is barely recognizable from the way it looked when we purchased it in a good way. I would definitely recommend Clever Design and Remodeling to my family and friends. My next remodeling will only be with Clever. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Tamara, > We had a wonderful time working on your project! Thank you so much for your feedback! **★★★★★ — Aranya Ochoa, Aug. 2021** > I found Clever Design & Remodeling through my neighbor who just had her bathroom remodeled. The work they did was beautiful and since we were about to start a bathroom remodel of my own, I requested his info. scheduled an appointment with Roy and he arrived perfectly on time. We discussed the future plans of my whole house focusing on the bathroom first that was in desperate need of an update. I wasn't sure of how I exactly wanted it to look, but Roy helped me think my way through it and had excellent suggestions! Overall communication with him was effortless, he always responding quickly and took our ugly half-bath with fixtures and transformed it into a beautiful full bath with shower and lovely tile work. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is remarkable and is hard to believe it's the same room! I absolutely love the new bathroom and look forward to calling Roy again to do our master bathroom. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Aranya for your kind words! We hope you will keep enjoying your new bathroom design **★★★★★ — Ethan Koen, July 2021** > About 3 months ago, we contacted Clever Design and Remodeling to get an estimate on my kitchen remodel. The job was to redesign the living room and dining room to create space for the kitchen. Roy is completely hands on in ensuring each inch of our project was completed to our liking and specification, even making sure previous plumbing & electrical issues were updated properly. While I was a little skeptical on how they could get everything in the job done, they managed and exceeded my expectations. I learned so much about our house and construction from him because he was very clear in explaining to us what was wrong and what we needed to do to fix it. Would recommend them if you're thinking of a small renovation or a larger project! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Ethan, we really enjoyed working with you and hope to hear from you again in the future! **★★★★★ — Susan Ehnrich, July 2021** > After years of trying to design our master bath, we decided to hire Clever Design and Remodeling and could not be more pleased with our new bathroom. I had to go through a couple of designers to find the right fit and Roy is very friendly and a genius at creative use of space and design. We started on the master bath and now we are up to 2 additional custom room designs. Roy has been wonderful to work with as well as everyone that's been involved in my process while listening to my ideas and incorporates our style. He helped guide us with our product selections, and overseeing the project so everyone was on the same page. It's been a wonderful collaboration. Would not hesitate to recommend Roy to anyone. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Susan for your kind words! We are happy to be the right choice for you, and even happier to hear you are satisfied with our work! **★★★★★ — Anna Hoite, July 2021** > I did my whole house with Clever Design and Remodeling- and we built our house from the ground up, so I needed cabinets for the kitchen, laundry room, and each bathroom. Roy and his crew have been so wonderful and professional in every sense. I wanted something very high end and different. I had a vision and they helped me to bring it to life. Roy’s crew demolished the bathroom, replaced the tub, redid the plumbing according to new codes, tiled the shower walls, and painted the bathrooms and hallway. All of the workers were super nice and accommodating to all the little extra things we wanted touched up through out our house and very well organized through each phase. Again, thank you Clever Design and Remodeling, and Roy! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > We had such a great time working with you on this project! A complete home remodeling is always stressful and we are glad that we were able to take a little of this stress from you! Thanks again and we hope you will enjoy the new design for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Madison Monson, July 2021** > Roy is absolutely phenomenal to work with. He put our large kitchen together in 5 days and every single day I could not be more impressed with the progress and quality of work. We got 4 estimates and picked Clever Design and Remodeling because of the quality of past work, reasonable cost and great design vision that Roy had. I was hesitant to make certain decisions without consulting with Roy if it would impact his work--he was easy to get ahold of and reassured that he can work around what we needed to do and even provided alternate suggestions. He was able to quickly troubleshoot some issues I had with my design and was creative in doing so. I loved that I could get a professional and honest opinion on ideas I had and realistic and functional answers from his experience. I am extremely happy with my kitchen…thanks to Roy! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > It was so fun working on this project! Madison was so great and we really enjoyed every moment! Thank you so much for your feedback and we hope you will enjoy the new design for years to come. **★★★★★ — Fiona Lau, June 2021** > This is my first experience with extensive remodeling. As a new single parent, work life gets really hectic for me, so I really needed a trustworthy contractor. I am so fortunate to have chosen Clever Design and Remodeling. Roey was in charge of my project—kitchen, 3 bathrooms, flooring, paints and other miscellaneous restoration and fix-ups—basically the entire house. I was assigned an efficient and hardworking team; the on site manager is amiable and easy to work with. Through the process, I never had to look over shoulders. If there were any problems, it was easy to communicate with them; they would promptly fix any issues that arose. Their customer service is really excellent. Also, thanks to their in house designer, Allen who helped me with the initial process of choosing materials which then led to the generated renderings to help me visualize the final look. Thanks Clever for delivering what you promised me. I really appreciate the integrity of your company. When I finally moved back in, you presented me with a beautiful, new and super clean house—I really feel blessed. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > We are so glad to be able to help you with your first big project! The end result looks amazing, we hope that you will keep enjoying it for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Erica Braur, June 2021** > Our kitchen was very old and outdated so we had lots for Clever Design & Remodeling to get done. I reached out to Clever Design and spoke with Roy who took the time to carefully listening to what I would like to be done and the next process of planning what had to be done. On top of the kitchen we ended up adding a small living space, and half bathroom remodel. The new kitchen has become a very nice place and I love it. Roy communicated regularly, collaborated on creative decisions, and made the personalized to us throughout the process. Very good follow-up as well. Thanks, Roy! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > We loved working with you as well Erica! It is so important to have a good connection with your contractor, and we are happy to be able to help you out! **★★★★★ — Sandra Rangel, June 2021** > I have had the greatest remodeling experience with Clever Design and Remodeling. My new kitchen is beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Gili's crew made sure that all the work was done right day-to-day--it is amazing how knowledgeable they are about construction, appliances, cabinets, plumbing, materials, windows, you name it etc. He began listening to our preferences, and undeveloped concepts and ultimately turned them into an amazing new room designs. They took into consideration our home style and tastes before offering advice about the physical layout and material selection. The result is functional, beautiful and blended well with the rest of our home. Gili is the best! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Sandra! We're happy to hear that you like your new kitchen! We also think it looks amazing! we had the pleasure to work with you and wish you all the best! **★★★★★ — Gabriela Ducta, May 2021** > We would definitely recommend this company to anyone doing a renovation. They recently redid our upstairs laundry and bathroom and we love the work they did. Long story short, the upgraded laundry room turned out beautifully and working with Clever Design and Remodeling was so easy. Our project manager, Roy, was an amazing communicator and scheduler. A huge shout out to the team- the amazing plumbing work; the drywall, painting and finish details; and to Roy for installation of the custom cabinets, finishing details and installation of all bathroom accessories! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Gabriela, > We appreciate your amazing feedback! We are so glad to hear that you had a good experience, as we know that bathroom projects can be hard to live with. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Mia Carran, May 2021** > After deciding to remodel the master bathroom I received 4 bids on the project, without question I had the most confidence in Roy and Clever Design and Remodeling to finish the job and with the highest quality and thought in terms of the scope of our specific project needs. Roy patiently guided and supported us through the planning phase. We were in good hands from the start to the very finish. He made himself available to meet and discuss every detail, from overall design to choosing specific tiles. They ensured they were handled properly and came through, performed each task with a great attention to detail and delivered a beautiful bathroom exactly as I wanted it while able to overcome some difficult hurdles. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Mia for choosing Clever Design & Remodeling for your bathroom project! We really enjoyed working with you and hope that the new design will serve you for many years to come. **★★★★★ — Tiare Oherli, May 2021** > I finally got my kitchen done. I got quotes from several companies and I decided afterwards to go with Clever Design and Remodeling. I originally only wanted the island redone, and after I met with Gili was convinced to do the whole kitchen. Gili mentioned that they can do electrical, plumbing, counter work, cabinet work and much much. We used them to do a complete kitchen update- cabinet installation, electrical, drywall and new windows.. Our quartz counter tops are beautiful and the other installers worked quickly and kept everything clean. We highly recommend Clever Design and Remodeling and will definitely seek them for future projects. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Tiara, > We hope that we made the long wait worth it! We had a blast working with you and happy to hear that you feel the same! **★★★★★ — Caroline Lannes, May 2021** > We met with several contractors, but decided with Clever Design & Remodeling because Roy was easy to talk to, honest, and very helpful. Every following step from plumbing, reframing, tile setting, grout and glass door were. They were open to find the best alternatives for my personal situation. Roy worked with his team to get every little thing taken care of. After we picked out our cabinets, he helped us with our backsplash, and we wanted tile, so everything looked beautiful together. Any time I had a question, Roy was quick to answer. Overall our experience with Clever Design & Remodeling was wonderful. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Caroline, we had a real pleasure meeting you and being able to complete this project with you. We thank you for the opportunity and for your positive feedback! **★★★★★ — Evan Lade, May 2021** > Clever Design and Remodeling just finished our bathroom and couldn’t be happier. They turned out beautiful. I knew before hand that I would need to get some work done and I got recommended Gili from a friend who did their remodel with this company. We got rid of half a wall and gutted the master bathroom. Gili was meticulous and organized and worked hard every day to make sure my bathroom was designed and created the way I had envisioned. Every corner, counter and surface of my bathroom was renovated by Clever. Thank you Clever Design and Remodeling for your hard work! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Evan for your kind words! We really enjoyed working with you and hope that you will stay satisfied with the new design! **★★★★★ — ivy\_si\_meng, March 2021** > Working with Roy was awesome. He was the project manager of our new home, and did an amazing job. Liane was our designer and she is the best! We hired another designer from a different company before her, and it took couple months until the first designer sent us a shady design. Liane proposed a perfect floor plan design the first day we talked with her, and we absolutely fall in love with the new design. The job was nicely done by the team during COVID-19 and we highly recommend Clever design and remodeling to everyone else. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > We had such a great time working with you on this project! A complete home remodeling is always stressful and we are glad that we were able to take a little of this stress from you! Thanks again and we hope you will enjoy the new design for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Ian Telford, March 2021** > After contacting and talking to many companies we decided to choose Clever Design and Remodeling to have our bathroom completely remodeled. We had an old bathroom with the fiber glass shower and light panels and now we have a resort like bathroom! Our whole experience was very pleasant. We totally gutted the bathroom and removed a small wall that partitioned into the bedroom in order to install a double sink vanity as we have lived with one sink for the last 30 years and always dreamed of one with a double sink, but didn't have much room. Gili listened to our wishes and accommodated to our budget. The work itself was exceptionally done and on time and Gili was always communicating us about the next steps. I wish we hired him earlier! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Ian, > Thank you for your feedback, we truly appreciate it! We enjoyed our time working with you and hope to hear from you again in the future. **★★★★★ — Helen Foley, March 2021** > I found Roy and Clever Design and Remodeling through our friends who recommended him after he remodeled their master bathroom. Roy came to our home to look at the master bathroom and also did the design for my over 40 year master bathroom. I interviewed 3 more contractors for my project and none of them got close to what clever design represents and even though they weren't the cheapest out of the 4 contractors, I decided to go with them. He took the old layout and gave some great ideas of how to create a new functional bathroom. After finalizing the new layout of my future master bathroom I met with Roy again after a few days and he came up with a very detailed scope of work for us of exactly what was going to happen. Simply to put it he didn't miss even tiny details of it and was very organized. We couldn't have done it without Roy. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > We are so happy to hear you like the new master suite design! You deserve a beautiful bathroom that will let you relax and enjoy comfort after long days at work. **★★★★★ — Barbara Rose, March 2021** > Clever Remodeling nailed it! I'm not a great reviewer in general but in this case I felt the need in sharing the experience I had with Clever Design & Remodeling. > I started by interviewing different general contractors to take over my kitchen remodeling project and I must say, the estimates stage itself had already taken 50% of the energy I was saving for the entire project LOL > Out of the 3 companies I interviewed Roy with Clever Remodeling who stood out the most in many ways, he was honest and really listened to my needs. Their bid was right among the rest of them GC's (well at least the ones who actually provided me with one...) and the decision was easy, We made some changes to the proposal and 2 days later we agreed on the price and signed a contract for a full kitchen remodeling project and some other interior remodeling tasks. They started with a kitchen remodeling planner/designer that created a great rendering which helped me a lot in visioning the future kitchen. After the design was signed they demolished my old cabinets and the rest is just history. COMMUNICATION was the key word, I could get a hold of them instantly at any given time (I mean they answered my texts at 11PM). Roy supervised the Job closely, he made sure I was happy with how things were going and when things were not done properly they were the first to admit it and remedy the situation before I even got home, I literally did not do anything but buying the appliances and approving the designs! > Thanks again Clever design & remodeling team, and especially Roy! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you so much Barbara! > We think you're a great reviewer, especially after this amazing feedback! Its reviews like this one that makes our job so wonderful! Being able to help families with building their dream home is so rewarding, and it's so nice to be appreciated like that. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — Alina Pasi, March 2021** > Superb service and quality! We hired Roy to remodel our kitchen, den, master bath, and guest bath. He walked us through the entire process handled everything for us including planning, design, and construction all the way through completion. We were particularly amazed at how quickly each step of the project was completed while still maintaining a high level of quality. The entire process took about 12 weeks from start to finish, which was very close to the estimate that was given to us at the beginning of the project. Everything came out beautifully and the work was done with the most care. I would be happy to refer Roy and their team. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > It was so fun working on this project! Alina was so great and we really enjoyed every moment! Thank you so much for your feedback and we hope you will enjoy the new design for years to come. **★★★★★ — Hailey Shouce, March 2021** > Clever Design and Remodeling really exceeded our expectations for our home reno. We had our kitchen redone with all new soft close cabinets and countertops as well as new bathroom cabinets and countertops. I knew I wanted something special for my sink in the newly remodeled kitchen. The scope included new paint, plumbing, lighting fixtures, and demo. They paid attention to detail and made sure everything was just how we wanted it. Great customer service and I love our beautiful kitchen! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > We always put emphasis on the homeowners' satisfaction. After all, this is your house we are working on, and it makes our hearts fill with joy when we get great feedbacks such as this. Thank you Hailey! **★★★★★ — Ida Stoll, Feb. 2021** > Exceptional work; knowledgeable, caring & considerate staff... We renovated our hall bathroom and they made it absolutely beautiful. They were knowledgeable, and friendly, and reliable. We went for a contemporary design complete with floating vanity and their team brought the dream to fruition. I was most impressed with Gili's attention to detail in the demo, preparation and tile work. My husband and I have enjoyed every minute of working with Clever Design and Remodeling to design our bathroom. I didn't realize how fun picking out sinks, faucets, tubs, showers and toilets could be! Gili offered many ideas, and many we used that really helped the transformation happen. Everything came in when they said, and was delivered promptly. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Ida for these kind words! We had great time working on this bathroom. We think it turned out to look gorgeous and we hope that you like it as well! **★★★★★ — Ramon Verdes, Feb. 2021** > Thank you for a smooth, professional remodeling experience. I hired Clever Design and Remodeling for a home addition project for an outdoor kitchen and additional bedroom. The project was conducted over the course of a few months, was well managed and completely organized. > > Everyone involved added some semblance of high quality workmanship to the project. My wife and I are ultimately satisfied with the results and would definitely recommend this company to others. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Ramon, it was all our pleasure. Working on this project was inspiring and we fell in love with the new addition! It looks so great! Thank you so much for your feedback! **★★★★★ — Lei Tang, Jan. 2021** > We bought our home in October, and immediately started the search for someone to renovate our bathrooms. We purchased an Eichler home, so it was important we were able to find someone to help carry the modern design into the bathrooms. We followed the advice of a lot of people and shopped around for a bit. We talked to a general contractor, a local design and remodel service as well as Clever Design and Remodel. Ultimately we decided to go with Clever because of Gili, he was transparent and we immediately felt comfortable with him handling our remodel. > > My husband and I are extremely busy with our jobs so the last thing we wanted to fill up our spare time with was project managing, and running around figuring out what we needed to get. We are also very particular so it was important we found someone we could trust. > > When We met with Gili, and he took the time to walk us through what we could expect, and ensured us that he'd help us take care of everything from start to finish. Not only did he have someone on staff to design our bathrooms, he made sure we had the designer came with us to the showroom to pick out what we would need. We felt confident we were getting fair pricing with everything too, if the team thought a showroom was over priced they told us where we could easily save money which was nice. They also knew the right places to go to when it came to tiling. After we picked everything, that was it. Gili and his team took care of the rest. They sent us a rendering of what it would look like and it came out just like the rendering. We were super impressed on demo day at how clean the job site was, Gili and his team treated our home with a lot of care. Another thing that is super important is they didn't cut corners, they did everything to city code, and even got an architect out to the house to ensure that the remodel would not affect anything in the home as we have a lot of beams due to the style. We didn't have to worry about anything. When we were nearing the end of the project Gili and team left the home on better condition then when they started the project it felt like. Everything was very clean, and throughout the project they also kept the home cleaned up every day when they left the site. > > We would highly recommend Clever Design and Remodel to anyone that wants end to end services for your next home remodel. We enjoyed working with Gili so much that we already have asked him to help us with another project right after they completed our bathrooms. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Renovating your new home is always a challenge, we are just happy we were able to help you bring your vision to life. We had great time working with you and your family! Thank you Lei, hope to hear from you again in the future! **★★★★★ — Audette Dewey, Jan. 2021** > We used Clever Design & Remodeling to do our original kitchen remodel 15 years ago, then hired them again to do our kitchen renovations this spring/summer for another property. Needless to say, they knocked it out of the park again! > > They reassured us that they were the right hiring decision. Super knowledgable, trustworthy and friendly owners, employees and contractors. Clever Design & Remodeling is a top-notch local company on every level. I highly recommend them, and have recommended them to our family and friends. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Audette, nothing brings more joy to us than to get a call back from a former client who wants us to do another project for them. Thank you so much for choosing us again and again for your remodeling projects! It's such a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Miles Standtree, Jan. 2021** > We could not be more happy with our kitchen remodel. From our very first interaction in the early concept and planning stages through the last finishing touches, we had a very positive experience. > > Our collaboration with the Clever Design and Remodeling team was very interactive, they listened to ideas and visions and then assisted in finding practical solutions. > > The professionalism and quality of their services is outstanding - from the design through the material selection and actual construction, we always felt that in Clever Design and Remodeling, we had a partner who was looking out for us and ready to go above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied with the outcome. We would work with them again, no questions asked! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Miles for these kind words! We think your kitchen looks beautiful right now and are sure you are going to enjoy it for many years to come! Thanks again! **★★★★★ — Eva Rathers, Dec. 2020** > I went to Clever Design and Remodeling earlier this year for a few home upgrades. I wasn't sure where to look because of the sheer amount of contractors but I have to admit that in this case, it worked out wonderfully! Specifically I wanted to repaint my house, our guest bedroom completely redone, which included knocking down a wall and redo the bathroom/plumbing. Before, the bedroom was cluttered and tiny. Now, it's luxurious and roomy! The crew at Clever went far and above what I requested them to do. From the countertops to the shelving, everything came together so coherently and beautifully. Their price is really good comparing the great job they did and have great customer service beginning to end. My husband and I had a thousand questions and they didn't mind explaining it all to us. My house went from bland to incredibly stylish yet still homey and comfortable thanks to Gili! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Choosing the right contractor to suit your needs and preferences can be very stressful, we are so happy you decided to work with us! Thank you so much for your feedback, and we hope to hear from you yet again in the future! **★★★★★ — Marlene Cullison, Dec. 2020** > The crew from Clever Design and Remodeling was perfect for our complex renovation project, having several unexpected challenges when their crew remodeled the entire kitchen. The workers were professional and forward thinking. Great problem solvers. They pay close attention to very little details, made sure the final results looked stunning. They cleaned up pretty well. Never though I'd have my dream kitchen done so affordably. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Marlene, We had such a great time working with you on this project! Hope that you are enjoying your new kitchen! Thank you for your kind words, we truly appreciate it! **★★★★★ — Elena Harris, Dec. 2020** > The Clever Design and Remodeling team delivers a superior construction experience from start to finish. My project managers, Roy & Gili were a pleasant surprise with how dependable and personable they were. They seamlessly kept me updated and made sure the project never was derailed. Excellent customer service skills and quality workmanship for my kitchen remodeling project. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Hey Elena, > Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly our pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Christian Giuodi, Dec. 2020** > I needed some work done in the guest room along with the bathroom attached to it. We had several potential contractors within the area and reached out to all of them. Two stood out the most which included Clever Design and Remodeling the company we went with. The reason we chose Clever was quite simple, their style is what we were searching for. We hired Roy and he did everything super detailed and on point. Roy wrote up a great design that made the entire space look unified and well-planned. Now it has been a few weeks after the work was completed and I must say, I am absolutely satisfied! If you are looking for a reasonable priced professional that is both easy to work with and provides great results I highly recommend Clever Design and Remodeling **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Christian, > It was such a pleasure working with you and we are so happy to hear that you like the work we did! Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity and we hope to hear from you again in the furture! **★★★★★ — romanowich, Nov. 2020** > I would highly recommend working with Gili and the Clever Design team in your contracting job (of any size). They are professional, friendly, honest, hard-working and have a high standard of quality. I recently remodeled a large bathroom with them- received a competitive quote, a reasonable timeline, and best of all- excellent quality. I particularly appreciate the great communication, and use of 3-D design work upfront that help set us on the right path. From their- the professionals that came in to complete the job, Luis most of all, did an incredible job in both their work as well as respecting our home and social distancing during this time of the pandemic. Thank you Clever for the great work! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you for your kind words and support! It feels so great to hear such kind words from our clients! We appreciate it! **★★★★★ — Caitlin Mylett, Oct. 2020** > Clever Design and Remodeling and crew did a complete remodel on my bathrooms and it turned out awesome. In Woodside space is a premium, so we discussed our plans with Roy and he and his crew created two beautiful bathrooms, complete with new electrical and plumbing. I appreciated their patience and advice through the process as his experience made choices far less daunting. Roy suggested using metal edges to match many of our fixtures and lines. We were amazed by everything they were able to do, emphasizing every single detail and staying true to the promise of their timing and budget. It looks great. I also ended up asking Roy for additional work such as changing my kitchen backsplash, changing my island countertop to a bigger one and installing lights under the kitchen cabinets. I will not hesitate to recommend this company to whoever needs to renovate their home. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Caitlin, > Thank you so much for these kind words! We had great time working with you and we are glad that the new bathroom designs are working for you! We hope you will enjoy the new renovation for many years to come. **★★★★★ — Jennifer, Sept. 2020** > After staring at my kitchen for the last 6 months of COVID-19 I decided I was ready for a remodel. I contacted several companies for an estimate and I immediately felt confident with Clever. Gili was honest, helpful and kind - seems common, but isn't always. He had great ideas about the kitchen as well as connections for cabinets and countertops. He met me at the showroom, took measurements and was incredibly supportive in the process. All of the guys who worked on my home also had similar work ethics and kindness. My job was done on time and quickly and Gili communicated with me regularly. At the end we did a walk through of the job. There were a very tiny things that needed some attention and they were addressed in two days. I can't recommend them more. I will absolutely be calling them for my next job! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Jennifer, > The most important thing for us with every job we do is to make sure we create exactly what's in your vision. We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying your new kitchen, thank you for this feedback! **★★★★★ — Colin Sink, Sept. 2020** > I contracted Gili at Clever Design and Remodeling for a bathroom remodel along with all of our family room, part of kitchen and cabinets, and couldn't be more pleased with the results. It was a huge job to say the least! Gili is an excellent interior designer. The project took approximately 6 working days. We removed a tub/shower combo and turned it into a standing shower with frameless glass doors and sandstone tile throughout. Who knew just changing the colors of the cabinets would totally transform my kitchen! My outdated bathroom has been instantly updated and it looks beautiful. I'm already thinking of hiring them to paint my bedrooms too! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Hey Colin, > Thank you for your great feedback! We really enjoyed working with you and we are so happy to hear that you like your new designs! Hope to hear from you again in the future! **★★★★★ — Kendra Saul, Sept. 2020** > My kitchen had bothered me for many years and I finally decided to fix it and I am so glad I hired Clever Design and Remodeling! The kitchen had been fully remodeled in 2008, however, the style was just needing a little face lift! I researched endlessly for a kitchen cabinet resurfacing company and came across Clever Design and their team! Roy explained they would finish the job in a week, and they did. Our cabinets looks brand new, which is pretty remarkable because they were in pretty bad shape. Our little kitchen definitely came a long way and the before/after is pretty amazing! Their paint work was flawless and when they reinstalled the doors and drawers even fixed a couple funky things about our cabinets which really made our lives easier. A+! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Kendra, > We were honored to be picked to renovate your kitchen as this was such a great experience for us! We really hope you enjoy the new design! **★★★★★ — Silroy Sanjivan, Aug. 2020** > What a great company to work with! > From the first minute I met Roy I had a good feeling about him, we actually needed to start the project because we had major issues with our old kitchen and bathroom, so after a short phone call with him, he showed up 2 days after and gave us a pretty good price for the amount of scope of work we asked, especially in the hard times we are in and even and the fact that we needed to start the job immediately. Roy was super flexible with us which is greatly appreciated. We quickly designed our new kitchen and bathroom and they even did for us a Beautiful 3D rendering that showed us how our kitchen and bathroom gonna look like with all the materials we chose, along the way that was super helpful because there was no room for mistakes. > The end result is amazing and we got the clean look exactly like we imagined! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Hey Silroy, > Thank you for your kind words. We had a great time working with you and we also think your new kitchen looks amazing! Thanks again and hope to hear from you in the future! **★★★★★ — Sienna Petree, June 2020** > I can not say THANK YOU enough!!!! From the start, Roy was very helpful and very professional. I called on a Saturday for an estimate regarding installation of crown molding, base boards, new door frames and painting of my newly purchased home. We live on the 2nd story of a condo complex and our remodel consisted of a full kitchen and living room demo, new flooring installed and recessed lighting. The peninsula was designed for our kitchen and after the installation of the moldings and the new paint my new place actually feels like HOME. The quality of work is impeccable. I highly recommend Roy and Clever Design and Remodeling and can't wait to have them back to do our bathrooms **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Hey Sienna, Thank you very much for sharing your positive feedback with us to others. It was our pleasure to work with you. **★★★★★ — Rachel Sklar, June 2020** > After months of research, meetings with contractors and receiving numerous quotes for our remodel protect, we decided to go with Clever Design and Remodeling. Their quotes were very reasonable but most importantly they were very honest and helpful in critical design and material decisions. Additionally, there was a lot of flexibility in making changes on the fly. Gili's team was fantastic, the quality of workmanship was very impressive and there were some great suggested modifications by the team that really made a difference in the final outcome. We were provided daily scheduling updates and for the most part the timeline did not slip. Every person involved in our remodel project (master bed and bath and guest bath) was very good at their specialty and all had such a great attitude. At the end of each day the team would clean up and provide us with an update for the following day. I am extremely pleased with the final product as Clever Design and Remodeling provided us a great value. I would highly recommend them to anyone and look forward to our next project with them. Great job guys! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Rachel! > reviews like this make us proud! we will continue to work hard in order to get all our clients full satisfaction. **★★★★★ — Victor Bourgin, June 2020** > We had 3 different bids for our needed work 1 of which was Clever Design and from the first interaction with Gili we were sold even before we got the bid! It took weeks to get a bid from other contractors and Gili had it to us the next day! We added a very small bedroom with closet, door, and all the finishings as well as recessed lighting and fans throughout our home and some lighting outside our home and in our garage. The work looks flawless as if it had always been there!! Roy was our project manager and he was so easy to work with! The poor man even redid some work that I had changed my mind on despite the extra time his men had to put into it but he did it with a smile and never complained once. The entire crew was on time and courteous to my neighbors and left my home clean every night. I was highly impressed from start to finish and will definitely be recommending Clever Design and Remodeling to everyone I know! Thank you Gili and Roy for making our first construction experience so pleasant! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Hey Victor, Thank you very much for sharing your positive feedback with us to others. It was our pleasure to work with you. **★★★★★ — Susan Johnson, June 2020** > We had the best experience with Roy from > Clever Design And Remodeling! We remodeled the kitchen and our master bathroom, the design they did was super detailed so it saved me a valuable time, it’s a tough time for everyone right now so that’s greatly appreciate. The team was super respectful to my house, and we finished everything in less then 6 weeks! I am so thankful to Roy and he’s team for bringing my home back to life again! Quality was Superb! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you for making the Clever Choice for your home Renovation! **★★★★★ — Jonathan Banks, May 2020** > After meeting with several potential contractors, we decided to go with Clever Design and Remodeling after meeting Roy. He was up front with us, gave us and outlined potential costs and told us the timeline with expected time line to complete our full house renovation. We are doing a complete kitchen and two and half bathroom remodel. Roy has been completely professional, responsive and helpful throughout this process. One of my main requirements was to have a project manager who would guide me through the entire process to minimize any stress with the renovation, and Roy from Clever Design and Remodeling has done just that. We knew that things were coming up and Roy met with us multiple times to help us to chose and guide us with his experience. It has been super exciting process. > The quote that Roy provided us was not the lowest but we felt they provided the highest value from start to finish. Without any hesitation, we would go with Roy and his team again and we are looking forward to see the finished project soon! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Jonathan! it was our pleasure to serve you! **★★★★★ — Timothy Smith, May 2020** > Gili and the Clever Design And Remodeling team did a great job on our master bathroom. It was a big project that they helped with from the very beginning to the very end (design through execution). They did a wonderful job and it turned out great. So great > Thanks again!!! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you for making the Clever Choice for your home Renovation! **★★★★★ — Valerie Stark, April 2020** > This is just my way of saying thanks to the team over at Clever Design and Remodeling. From office staff to field crew, all are a very pleasant group to work with. Our project wasn't a small one and involved detail we were a little concerned about before starting. Roy, one of their project managers had addressed these concerns right at the start and assured us they would find a solution we would be happy with. Sure enough they did. We remodeled our entire kitchen and decided to add our guest bath into the mix about 2 weeks into the project and after seeing everything was running smoothly. What I absolutely loved about the process was that I was able to see the final layout in form. This really helped us visualize what it would all look like prior to moving forward with construction. We were then able to make some adjustments until we were happy with the way everything looked. It was just a very straight forward process, as it should be when dealing with professionals. A+ as far as my family is concerned. Thanks again!!! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Hey Valerie, Thank you very much for sharing your positive feedback with us to others. It was our pleasure to work with you **★★★★★ — Michael Alibrando, April 2020** > Where do I start! Clever Design and Remodeling just finished completing a full remodel of my 3 bedroom/2 bath 1,152 sq. ft. home (circa 1974) that had never been updated. Included in the remodel were custom kitchen and bathrooms; new windows and flooring throughout; new A/C and furnace with new ducting; removal of acoustic ceiling; new door (front/fire/closet) replacement throughout; full interior and exterior painting; and updated electrical and plumbing. This amount excludes the cost of all kitchen appliances, vanity/countertops in bathrooms, doors, light fixtures, window coverings, kitchen & bathroom finishes (backsplash tile, cabinet knobs & drawer pulls, sinks, faucets, shower/bath fixtures, mirrors, door handles), new garage door and opener, closet shelving and brackets. Overall, the workmen employed to perform the multitude of tasks involved with this project did a wonderful job! As far as the quality of the work goes, I would not hesitate to hire Clever again. Gili was nice, showed a desire to please, overall accessible to answer questions, and provided sound and helpful design advice. The front office staff were very pleasant to deal with, and were attentive to issues that arose. If I had a question, it was usually answered quite promptly. Gili and his crew all stand out as being great to work with. Even after the work was done, Gili was so intent on ensuring I was satisfied that he demonstrated his professionalism and commitment to complete client satisfaction...I appreciate and respect that. **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Thank you Michael! > reviews like this make us proud! we will continue to work hard in order to get all our clients full satisfaction. **★★★★★ — Anna Cote, April 2020** > We hired Clever Design and Remodeling to remodel our kitchen in our condo. We had met with two other contracting companies and we were given a similar quote as Clever but to be honest, meeting with Gilli gave me a totally different level of confidence than meeting with the others. We replaced most of the carpeting in our home with European Oak wood flooring which is beautiful. We also had the kitchen cabinets refinished and a new stainless steel over the range microwave installed as well as coordinating new sink fixtures and all new cabinet hardware. Recessed lighting was installed in the living room, kitchen, and master bath with necessary patching and all ceilings painted. Roy was very knowledgeable of all aspects of the project -plumbing, electrical, carpentry- displaying true craftsmanship in his work. Gilli was great to work with, she is very detail oriented and he and his team always left our house and the common areas in the condo building extremely clean (cleaner than it was originally, honestly). The Clever Design and Remodeling team really went above and beyond in making sure we were comfortable and happy with the work. Strongly recommended!!!! **Comment from Clever Design & Remodeling:** > Hey Anna, Thank you very much for sharing your positive feedback with us to others.
