Home Extensions in Palo Alto

“Had a great experience with Ofer and his crew. Came as scheduled, completed the job in 5 months. Everything looks great - The work went without a hitch so it ended faster than I imagined it would be too. I have more jobs planned for next year and I will use them again and I highly recommend using them for your next construction work!”

“Great experience, high value, very reliable and best crew we ever worked with. Mayer’s construction did a home remodeling for us during the last 6 months. It has been a big home remodel for us that took design and build as well. After months spending finding the right company for us, we have choose to work with Mike & Nathan Mayer from Mayer’s construction. A week after finalizing contract we started working with Su & Luis both company’s architect and engineer. We worked on the new plans we agreed and wanted at first and started to have architect drawings ready, when we got into engineering process, both Mayer’s construction and us didn’t know we were suppose to redone so much of the existing footings and reinforce of additional walls as 20 years ago we did a 2nd story addition that was probably made poorly and unprofessional. They were extremely kind and helpful and kept the price as we agreed on and didn’t changed a thing. The plan process and measurements took about a month or so, and finally we were able to submit the plans to the city of San Jose. After getting the permits done and job card set ( overall 5 months of waiting / SJ is a pretty busy city) we got into work schedule and been ready to move out as the entire home going to be demolished. Mike was very organized both managing and scheduling the team, rough materials arrivals, and to us to be fully briefed with details and what we need and when. The process of work was great and on timeline , city did changed a lot during this time period with their inspection delays but it didn’t interrupt with our schedule or timeline due to great management ahead. We just finished our work and we absolutely in love with our new home! New flooring throughout, new kitchen, new bathrooms, complete open floor plan, new stair case, new rooms reconfigured, new paint, new texture, new windows and sliding doors throughout, all new plumbing and electrical. A brand new and beautiful home we got thanks to Mayer’s construction and the team, Mike, Nathan, Raul, Jose and many more who had a added value and did this work absolute best.”

“In 2011, Zayer Quality Construction did a major remodel of our 35 year old house in San Jose. Areas remodeled include: Kitchen, Family Room, Front Entry Hall, Dining Room, and Living Room. The kitchen was a total gut job to the studs. Walls were removed to create a more open area, one of them load bearing. In preparation for the remodel, Ed assisted with material selection. Before the job started, he met with us at a number of material suppliers to help us select the following: Tile, Floor, Moldings, Windows... Ed does not run multiple jobs concurrently. Ed, his staff, and subcontractors were on time every day. The overall job went very smoothly. It is beneficial to have all major material selections completed before the start of demolition. Once demolition starts, the job moves very quickly. The kitchen started out as a U shape with peninsula. We wanted an L shape with an island. I did the preliminary CAD work laying out our proposed kitchen. Ed brought in his designer to help us with the details. She provided very good advice in many areas and generated the final set of drawings for the kitchen and bar areas. For the cabinetry, we did not want factory built cabinets. We wanted full custom cabinets. This gave us great flexibility in the design. Ed had connections with a local cabinet shop that did an excellent job building, finishing, and installing the cabinets. The granite counter top measuring and installation went very smoothly and on schedule. For electrical work, there were a number of major improvements. We greatly expanded the number of separate circuits coming into the house so every major appliance has its own breaker. We also have two GFI protected 20A circuits for the kitchen outlets. We were early adopters of LED recessed lighting. Ed and his crew did an excellent job with light placement and lighting control. LED pendant lights were used over the island. Some aluminum wire was removed and replaced with copper. No more overloaded circuits. An outdoor outlet was also added for our patio area. The house is much safer now compared to what it was. Gas was plumbed to the stove area, as we wanted a Gas cook top with an electric oven. Hardwood flooring was installed in the remodeled areas. As with any job this size, you will run into some unexpected situations. When we were replacing the 8' sliding door, we found the framed opening was under size for the new door. Ed quickly responded with a proper re-framing of the door opening with a new longer header. As the job was coming to completion, Ed's crew did a very nice job of Texturing, Crown Molds, Case Molds, Baseboards, and Painting. As customers go, I am probably a little more difficult than others for contractors. I am an engineer with some building experience and in some areas have some pretty tough requirements. Ed was able to work with me and propose solutions that met or exceeded requirements. Overall, the wife and I are very happy with the outcome of our remodel project. As our friends came over to see the results of the remodel, we got many "Wows". We will probably be re-engaging with Ed for future projects.”

“Very good experience He help us out a lot with our kitchen project remodeling and Answering all our questions that we have”

“I am extremely happy with the service and outcome of my kitchen remodel that I received from Roy. I decided to remodel it to have a more modern look, such as marble counters. Roy was very helpful and provided excellent customer service. He listened to what I wanted in remodeling my kitchen and gave me alternative ideas as well to expand on other ways to improve my kitchen. He recommended me to replace my lights and fix my walls and knew the perfect products for it.The price was also reasonable-- I was searching other companies and finding that their prices were too expensive. I had a budget and Roy was willing to work around that. It is not common to find other companies that are willing to give you what you need for a reasonable price. The work I received was worth what I spent and I highly recommend Roy to anyone who is looking for a kitchen remodel for quality work! I am very satisfied and I am looking forward to remodeling other aspects of my home with Roy.”

Only Kitchens & Baths team was great to work with, always on time, very professional, communicative and respectful to my home. The most important, my kitchnes turned out fantastic, even better than I expected. Thanj you Only Kitchens & Baths!!”

“After doing extensive research and talking to multiple contractors I settles on Mr & Mrs. Construction for my bathroom renovation project. From initial consultion to design to picking of tiles and materials they were always there to guide us when we needed it. Lital was the project manager for us and she was a pleasure to deal with. Quality of work performed was great and the end result came out amazing. I would definitely recommend Mr & Mrs. Construction to anyone looking to get their bathroom redone in an affordable budget.”

“I worked with Inspired builders on my master bathroom remodeling back in 2021. I met David the project manager at the first meeting and he was very professional and honest. The estimate was very reasonable and fair, so after interviewing several companies I hired David and Inspired builders. We started with design, the designer was very thorough helping me choose my tiles and fixtures and took care of the permitting. David was often in my house running the project along with Antony the foreman and the crew. They were very professional and clean making sure my bed cloths are covered and protected. The project turned out exactly as I imagined and I am enjoying my new bathroom every day. I am planning to remodel my second bath next year and I will definitely call David again. Highly recommended!!”

“I highly recommend Palo Alto Building Company as a general contractor. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Chris Loops on our home renovation in 2015. I can recommend him highly and without reservation. Throughout the course of the renovation, Mr. Loops was a consummate professional. He was accurate in his initial assessment of the scale and cost of our project. He was clear in his record keeping and time log. He chose and managed the sub-contractors well. There was no better intermediary for ensuring our renovation projects were always running smoothly and at peak times. He was a great coordinator and leader with his subcontractors to follow his lead. This is because Chris exudes a level of knowledge and expertise that simply inspires trust. Our job was done with care and precision. He is a gifted carpenter and the custom cabinetry he designed and executed are perfect. What I appreciated most about Chris was his keen ability to get answers. What he did not know off the top of his head, he knew exactly where to go. I never waited more than a few minutes to hear solutions about location, equipment, cost of materials, labor and time management. With Chris on site, my day-to-day operations were always in good hands. In addition, he is extremely clean and tidy in the workplace. Chris along with his professional staff never left the worksite in disarray. They vacuumed all drywall dust daily. Mr. Loops took special care to prevent any of the job dust from trailing throughout the house. The only complexity in working with Mr. Loops is that, as he himself will tell you, good work takes time to complete. Patience is required when you work with a perfectionist. Our project took time to complete, but the estimation was 100% accurate. Palo Alto Building Company under promised, and over delivered in every aspect of the project! We had a wonderful outcome and a work of art to enjoy now.”

“We have worked with Oro Coast on a variety of renovation projects and each came in on budget and the work was excellent. We really enjoyed working with Ben and his team!”
