LY Green Construction Inc.

As a designer for over 20 years, working with Shelly Levy, of LY Green Construction has been a pleasure. Their approach to building is straightforward, quality, and creates flexibility for me as the designer because all of the decorative fixtures and finishes land in my studio for purchasing, which allows me to help clients budget accurately. Using subs that are qualified and closely managing projects, ensuring that things are executed according to drawings allows our site work to be efficient, collaborative, and easy.

I absolutely love working with LY Green Construction. As an interior designer, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with them on two remodels so far, and I can’t recommend them enough. They are professional, communicative, transparent, collaborative, and genuinely kind. Their attention to detail is exceptional, but what stands out most is their genuine care for the client and their needs. Working with a team that values quality and relationships equally makes all the difference.

They worked on my bathroom floors and they did a very good job. The team is very professional and prompt to respond. The project went smoothly and I would definitely recommend their work. Special mention to Ofri who is very accommodating and helpful.

We had an excellent experience with the LY Green crew on our bathroom remodel. They provided us with a detailed up front quote of all tasks and related pricing. They allowed us the flexibility to find the materials we wanted or they provided alternate options. Maria, Lety, and Miguel oversaw the work on a weekly basis and made sure we were happy with the work at every step before continuing. They showed patience and flexibility when we pivoted mid project and were able to accommodate the change. The crews were reliable, tidy and good at their craft. All in all a very enjoyable experience, we were very happy with the outcome and would definitely work with the team again.

Levy and his team were fast, on time and professional. They provided a solution that reduced the price but did not sacrifice quality. I would recommend LY Green Construction to friends and family.

LY Green managed a large exterior siding/trim repair and painting job (taking care of some pretty neglected hardwood siding on a 4-story 2-unit built in 1900) for us in Q4 last year. Ofri managed our project, and I have nothing but great things to say about him and everyone who worked on the job. Ofri is incredibly communicative, sharing timelines and requests well in advance. He met up with us weekly to walk through and address our questions and concerns. The crew that worked on the house was SO thorough, and incredibly considerate and conscientious with our neighbors - asking in advance if and when they might be able to access side yards or roofs. Out neighbors on both sides complimented their "bedside manner!" One of the neighbors asked for a referral for a friend of hers who visited and loved our new paint job. We also quoted out another project with LY Green, and they were incredibly helpful in getting us different pricing to work within our budget. While we decided to put that one on hold, we would not hesitate to work with Ofri, Shelley, and the team again!

We absolutely love Shelly and LY Green! This was our first home, first reno (and a big one), first experience with a contractor, and we could not imagine being happier. Shelly has meticulous attention to detail. She is determined to do it right, make it beautiful, and keep it on budget. She was incredibly responsive and available to us. When a pipe cap was leaking, when we discovered water coming through the foundation during a heavy rain, she talked with us immediately and sent a crew member over within an hour. We lived through the reno, and Shelly always made sure we could come and not worry. She creatively saved money where she could, especially when we encountered expensive unexpected problems. Kept us on budget, remarkably. We felt like she was truly looking out for us, really had our best interest at heart. We had a dream team with the communication and coordination between Shelly, site leader Miguel, and the design team. The entire crew was friendly, conscientious, and incredibly respectful. Shelly turned our house into our dream home! We would love to hire Shelly and the team again for anything we do in the future, and highly recommend them!

rom the beginning I was impressed with Shelly Levy’s professionalism and warmth. She guided me through the design process to realize my plans for an art studio addition to my home. I could always call her for advice on next steps. Very shortly after we met, the pandemic erupted and our schedule was totally disrupted. She kept me posted in a timely way and when the opportunity came to start construction her crew quickly made up for lost time. Her foreman, Gilardo, was fantastic, and the whole team was organized and efficient. Even though it was a small project, LY Green Construction staff went out of their way to make me feel I was as well taken care of as any client with a larger job. Her prices were reasonable. I recommend her highly.

I used LY Green Construction for a gut-reno of my kitchen in late 2019. We tore down a wall and completely rearranged our appliances and layout. Shelly and her team turned our drab-looking 50s kitchen into an upgraded, modern, high functioning space. They have excellent partners throughout the Bay Area, including trusted architects, designers, and appliance small-business owners. They are also no-nonsense when it comes to permits and approvals. Moreover, they have outstanding relationships with their key stakeholders from their year(s) of doing renovations, which helps keep the project(s) on track. They're extremely effective at communicating; Shelly spoke to us once a week, often in-person. She runs a tight ship with respectable people (we lived in our house *with small children* as our kitchen was being renovated and her construction crew was thoughtful and careful). Finally, they have amazing instincts. Shelly and team helped us brainstorm and conceive of the space, and proactively thought about key questions, like whether our lot was level, what type of power outlet(s) we'd need, and where the load-bearing structures were. They also deferred when she felt like she had a trusted partner, like an interior designer, who could service us more effectively. I leave you with before (drab/brown) and after (blue & white) pics of our beautiful renovation. Highly recommend and would definitely use again -- we're already in talks for other projects/renos.

I'm an interior designer and Shelly and her team always provide my clients with the best value. They are easy-going, warm and friendly, and follow through on everything they say they'll do. They care deeply about executing to our designs, and will go the extra mile to correct anything that isn't up to our standards with no push back. It's such a pleasure working with them and we continue to refer them to our clients.

Shelly, Orfi and team are outstanding. They have helped a couple of clients of mine (I am a realtor with Compass) to renovate their homes and the work turned out stunning. Shelly, Orfi and team are very responsive and professional. I will continue to refer and work with them. I can highly recommend them. Thanks, Andreas Ernst

Shelly and her team did an amazing job end to end with our project! Our work was a mix of structural improvements, flooring upgrades, and the installation of a new electrical and HVAC system. Shelly took care of everything from scoping, coordinating sub contractors to the actual execution. She and her team were also extremely accommodating of our newborn, and took extra steps to keep everyone safe during the pandemic. We'll absolutely use Shelly and her team for any future work on our home.
