IGreen Builders Inc.
General Contractors in San Jose
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 27, 2022
“We hired IGreen builders to remodel our master bathroom. The company was the fourth we interviewed with and we were deeply impressed by Liron Knot wide experience, their design ideas and their reasonable price, so we offered them the job on the spot. We were so glad we did that! This was a wonderful team - Liron gave us lots of great ideas on the design. He was our project manager, and was very experienced and customer oriented. I often called him multiple times a day and he was always very patient to answer my questions and kept me updated on the daily schedule. The crew was very professional, courteous and highly skillful - we really love the great tile work. Tony and his folks did an excellent job. Now we enjoyed our beautiful bathroom everyday and we are so glad we hired this team. We love their work so much that we decided to remodel the two bathrooms upstairs as well with them, which are ongoing right now.”
Mayer's Construction and Remodeling
General Contractors in San Jose
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 4, 2022
“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.”
Westhill Construction Company
General Contractors in San Jose
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 9, 2016
“We recently completed a major remodel of our 1970's vintage home engaging Chris Flores of Westhill Construction as our contractor. From our first meeting, where we asked scores of questions about the process, the costs, the design, and the timeline, Chris really listened to our vision for the project, offered many great ideas, and encouraged us to collaborate with him on all phases of the design and construction. Chris also provided us with a detailed bid which included options and relative costs of various design elements, quality of fixtures and finishes, etc. He gave us an extensive list of references who we contacted, and who were uniformly thrilled with Westhill's quality, service, and price. I should also make it clear that we interviewed four other well-respected construction companies before we decided on Westhill. While I'm sure that they are all good and capable contractors, not one of them was willing to provide the kind of detailed design and budget proposal that Chris offered us without first signing a contract and providing a hefty deposit. Throughout the remodel of our kitchen, dining room, entry hall, skylights, windows, doors, master bedroom, and three bathrooms, from demolition to the final cleaning, Chris and his team were always professional, courteous, and respectful of our home and grounds. Every afternoon, as the work day would come to a close, there was a general cleanup (never any trash left behind - not even sawdust), a report on what had been accomplished, and a preview of "next steps". As we moved through the timeline, Chris would meet with us and supply us with a checklist of our "next steps" in choosing appliances, hardware, tile, bathroom fixtures, etc. This really kept us focused and on track. There were no "surprises" in the process. Chris also stayed on budget. If we decided to make changes or up-grades along the way, he'd provide us with a price, as well as with alternatives, so that we could decide if the change was actually worth making. About a year after the completion of this remodel, we invited Chris back to help us with another project - transforming wasted space under our deck into a wine making and storage area. Once again, he took our ideas and made them a reality. This was not a straightforward design, but Chris was able to work within the space and now we have a place to make and store wine from our small cabernet vineyard. We know, first hand, how stressful and expensive a major remodel can be, but when you put your trust in Westhill Construction, you will not be disappointed. If we had to do it all over again, Chris would be the first person we'd call! He receives our highest recommendation! Thanks Chris!!”
Clever Design & Remodeling
General Contractors in San Jose
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 10, 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!!!!”
Roy's Builder's & Remodeling Inc.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 8, 2019
“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.”

“Tony and his team did an excellent job . They expanded my master bedroom including the bathroom and a walk in closet. I am not the easiest customer. I had so many questions, and Tony was patient with me every step of the way. They were very thorough and competitive. They were constantly updating me and going over the process . The entire experience was great!! Always on time with a great attitude. I want to say that I worked with a few general contractors over the years and it is difficult to find a good one that actually keeps you updated. If you are looking for a good contractor, look no further! I am very satisfied!!! Thank you Tony and Nuhome! -Clement”

LUX Construction
General Contractors in San Jose
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 5, 2016
“We were referred to Ori at LU construction by our family that hired them to remodel their kitchen a while back. Ori outlined the project steps for our kitchen remodel and presented a competitive quote for the job. The entire crew was professional, resourceful and efficient. During the entire remodeling, Ori was responsive and communicative to any of our concerns and he was always available to meet with us as needed. He demonstrated professionalism in executing any changes to the plan. Overall, we could not be happier with the new kitchen that he remodel for us. We lived at the house through the construction and it was honestly much better than we thought it would be. We trusted Ori and it was worth the trust. Many Thanks for all the hard work and to the people that did the actual work at our house! We've already recommended them to others looking for a dependable contractor who delivers quality work and timely execution.”
Inspired Builders
General Contractors in San Jose
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 13, 2022
“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!!”

If you're on the brink of a large home improvement project, remodel, or new build, you'll likely want to hire a general contractor in San Jose, CA. These professional contractors manage all aspects of the job to ensure it's completed on schedule and to your satisfaction. Whether you’re trying to find San Jose building contractors for a new construction, or home renovation contractors to spruce up your existing place, it’s important to know exactly what role they will play in the project.

What is a general contractor?


General, or construction contractors, are often known as project managers. They oversee the entire remodeling or new home construction project and facilitate all day-to-day tasks that move it toward completion. A San Jose general building contractor will work with your architect to review plans as you build a house and ensure everything is in place before work is started as well as arrange for permits and necessary inspections. While good local home improvement contractors in San Jose will have the skills to handle certain tasks onsite, such as carpentry, he or she is also responsible for hiring subcontractors for the majority of jobs, such as electrical work, painting or plumbing. In addition, home renovation contractors should be on-site regularly to inspect the progress and resolve issues.

General contracting services are a must for successful completion of a renovation. Because of this, it's essential that you do your homework before deciding on the right professional contractors in San Jose as you remodel or build a house. Inspect bids carefully. Was it ready when the contractor promised it? Was the bid for building a home unusually high or low? Each of these things can be very telling: A late bid may reflect timing standards, and an off-the-mark bid could be code for a pricey premium or a deliberate underbid to score the remodeling job. You should call references, carefully read reviews and visit completed projects in San Jose, CA to see if they’re what you expect for your job. Once you secure your local San Jose contractors, read the contract very carefully to be sure everyone is on the same page.

Questions to ask prospective San Jose general contractors:


  • How long have you been in the business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Who will be working on the project?
  • What qualities do you look for in your subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • What happens when costs exceed budget, whether due to materials or labor pricing changes? What about changes made by the client or by the professionals — what kinds of situations would cause those costs to be incurred?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can your job get done?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
