Get matched with top barndominium builders in Alviso, CA

"Eitan and his team did an outstanding job remodeling our two bathrooms, completely transforming and elevating both spaces. The crew were truly the stars of the project. They worked hard, stayed focused, and went above and beyond to get everything done beautifully. My wife and I deeply appreciate the care, craftsmanship, and dedication they brought to the job. We absolutely LOVE our new bathrooms and couldn’t be happier with the results."

"I debated leaving a review for the past two years as Avi, the general contractor, was a nice guy and I believe means well, but in since the remodel of two bathrooms and a kitchen, quite a bit of the work from his company has proven to either fall apart, be of poor workmanship, or simply be installed or built incorrectly. There are so many things that were done wrong, it would take forever to list, so I will mention the top few. I have plenty of pictures to illustrate the details but am not being given the link to upload them on here, for some reason I found Bay Remodeling Kitchen and Bath by reading several online reviews and when I called the company, the owner, Avi, did arrive at my home promptly and gave a very professional presentation complete with previous work, which seemed of high quality. I felt immediately comfortable entrusting him with the remodel of ONE bathrooms and a kitchen of a home I recently purchased as my primary residence. I was excited as my son had just been born and the house was to be our ‘forever home’. Day 1: I went to the house to find his demolition crew was busy demolishing....the wrong bathroom. They had gotten so far into the work it was past the point of ‘no return’. To his credit, Avi did immediately contact me and apologize. Because that bathroom was intended to EVENTUALLY be remodeled, we worked out a fair price to include it in the overall remodel. Problem solved? Unfortunately, no. Weeks on: Both bathrooms were completed and I was happy with the result. Then the kitchen. Demolition went smoothly, new wiring, plumbing and flooring were installed and the cabinets were next. I drove to the house to find....the brand new refrigerator had been STOLEN. I called Avi, who was out of town, then the police to file a report. When Avi’s foreman showed up, he expressed his suspicion the cabinet installers may have stolen it. I didn’t point fingers and patiently waited for the police to complete their investigation. Nothing came of it as it was a ‘...his word against theirs’ type of situation. I ultimately filed an insurance claim, paid the deductible and moved on. Admittedly, there is no way I can prove Avi’s guys had anything to do with it. Two days later: cabinets installed and most of the hardware had been drilled into brand new drawers and doors crooked. Pictures included with a level for reference. I was met with immediate resistance from Avi and his foreman stating, ‘...it isn’t that bad...’. Maybe not. The readers on this review can decide.After completion: 3 electrical outlets on the walls opposite the kitchen are without power. Avi shows up with his foreman and their response: ‘...we don’t even know these outlets ever had power even before the remodel...’. True, but what are the odds? Two years on: I finally notice the stoppers for the all of the drains in the bathrooms were never installed. I rarely use the bathroom sinks for more than brushing my teeth, so I don’t need to fill a sink with water but my wife recently discovered this when washing something. As a coincidence, I recently found these tucked in a corner of the garage. If the actual pop-up drains are still in boxes, I have no idea what is actually installed in the sinks. Little details I recently noticed: the ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ water positions on all the kitchen sinks are inconsistent, cabinet doors are uneven, floor moulding in more concealed locations never installed, etches can be seen in the ceiling where recess lighting had been misaligned, leaving the initial partial cuts in the ceiling in view. These problems were brought up later to Avi but at the time he was still searching for a construction team to work with as he apparently moves from one team to the next. Reading these reviews, I see he occasionally finds a good crew to work with, but a note to future customers: Avi and many general contractors subcontract with myriad plumbers, electricians, tile workers, etc. If he has a few bad subcontractors, you result might be similar. Good workers will likely produce a good result. Buyer beware... Updated 5/17/24 Addendum: Avi recently reached out regarding the quality of the previous project and said he now has a good, reliable, meticulous crew that he trusts. I took the risk, but let them back into the house. They were, indeed, a good, quality crew and fixed the as many of the mistakes and shortcuts the previous crew made and took. I am very happy with the outcome. As my earlier review stated, Avi is a good, honest guy but the quality of the work being done will 100% depend on the crew hired. Thank you for following up, Avi. -Chris"

"This was an outside deck with cover, so I was concerned about hiring a professional who had experience with this. Among the four I talked to, Jay was the clear winner and got the job. He delivered with an expert tile job. He also introduced me to Denise at the San Jose Tile Shop for selection of tile, pattern and colors."

"Our experience is identical to what other reviewers shared. And yes, you should run from this company as fast as you can. Do not buy what Abraham shared that the payment must be made when the inspection is passed. Check the Business and Professions code yourself, the payment only needs to be made when the job is completed. It is very COMMON that the job is not even done or poorly performed even the inspection is passed. Here are the issues that multiple families including us run into with this company:: The project was delayed for over 9 months. No one manages the job. He often employs young men from his own Jewish community. They are enthusiastic but had no prior experience. The worse part is that they don't get paid. Two of them even set up a new construction business knowing Abraham will never pay them. Subcontractors can put your house on lien also. Many reviews you see on Yelp, Google, Angi are NOT genuine. Even the references are fake with hindsight, we were given 2 references. One reference shared the exact same accent as the PM. The other reference was initially happy with their work, but then reached out to us and shared a similar horror story with them like what we experienced. You will lose a lot of $$$ on materials as the subcontractors will somehow leave a thousand dollars worth of quartz at home. Maybe they want to compensate for the money Abraham owed them? Let me tell you, reordering materials is not fun."

"My partner and I have had the pleasure of working with Dan, David and the hardworking crew at LB Construction & Remodeling for our what is now an extensive home restoration and renovation project. I cannot express how thrilled I am with the results thus far. From start to finish, their team demonstrated an unparalleled level of knowledge, speed, and attentiveness that truly exceeded my expectations. Truthfully, I didn’t know where to begin with my project, so I was very happy when Angi.com recommended LB. Dan responded quickly and was able to meet me at the house and walk the entire site with me. I had recently purchased my house and it needed extensive repair from years of water damage, including repair and replacement of the wood framing, installation of proper drainage, and foundation work. What truly set Dan and team at LB Construction & Remodeling apart was their willingness to help me hash out the details and various plans for our projects. Dan and David patiently worked with me to explore different options, providing valuable insights and recommendations based on their extensive experience, such as navigating permitting, advising on order of operation. This collaborative approach made me the decision-making process easier and less stressful as I had never done anything like this before. The speed at which LB Construction & Remodeling worked on my projects was truly impressive. They efficiently managed their time without compromising on the quality of their work. Every step of the way, it was evident that they were dedicated to completing the project promptly, ensuring minimal disruption to my daily life. Not to mention their attention to detail and commitment to quality craftsmanship were evident in every aspect of the projects, particularly with the reframing and painting. One of the standout qualities of LB Construction & Remodeling is their exceptional attentiveness. Dan consistently paid close attention to my needs and concerns, making me feel valued as a client. An example of this was when I communicated how I wanted the trim around the windows to look, both inside and out. I sent Dan pictures to illustrate what I was expecting, and he listened to me, verified specifics of my ideas, and walked me through how they would be able to achieve the look easily. Their work was seamless and they captured my vision perfectly. Right from the get-go we felt a sense of trust with Dan and team and that really helped make this entire process enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend LB Construction and Remodeling to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled team for their home improvement needs. I am eager to continue our other home projects with LB Construction & Remodeling in 2024."

"They were so helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I made the process so much more enjoyable. And I look forward to working with them on future projects."

"The contractor Paul came on time and finished his work on time. Paul and Berry are the best team.Also the contractor agreed to do the work on a very short notice and it turned out to be lifesaver for us. They were always reachable over phone. Could’nt thank them enough.Very happy with the experience. Would recommend them to everyone. ?"

"My project was a major renovation of a 1985 Victorian home that suffered a devastating fire. Erik and his team did a beautiful job following my architect’s plans, and was also proactive about calling out necessary changes. He was very patient with all of my changes and very specific requests, and was a very calming influence when unexpected surprises inevitably arose during construction. The final results are beautiful, and an historic house has been saved. I look forward to working with Erik again in the future!"

"We recently renovated both of our bathrooms and had an amazing experience with the crew. They were incredibly humble, clean, and professional throughout the entire process. They showed great attention to detail and were always responsive to any questions or requests we had. The team worked diligently every day until the job was done, and the results are fantastic. Recommendation: Make sure to order all materials and fixtures in advance—this really helps the crew work more efficiently and avoid delays. I highly recommend them for any job you’re considering, big or small. Their work ethic and professionalism truly stand out."

"American Kitchen and Bath, Inc. completed my contracted improvements on time and within budget. And that’s what would be expected. Yes, I would recommend them. AKB went beyond the normal expectations. My project required a whole house renovation. It included replacing the electrical, plumbing, windows, flooring and interior and exterior paint along with a completely new kitchen and bathroom. I found AKB by reviewing the City of San Jose permit website and saw they had pulled more permits than other local firms listed in National Association of Remodeling Industry (NARI). I completed an online contact request, and Shawn responded within the hour. We made an appointment to discuss what I wanted and was assured they could do the work within the budget. The process of developing the scope of work was very detailed. There were a few subcontractors necessary for my project, and I was introduced to each contractor at this early stage. I could tell from these meetings that the contractors had a very good relationship with AKB. It also involved working very closely with their designer, Buffy. I had no vision as to what I wanted, but Buffy was able to tease out what I did not like. In no time, she knew exactly what would appeal to my taste. Both Shawn and Buffy remained part of my project all the way through to the finish. When the project started, the demolition, installing a beam, rough plumbing and electrical all moved along very quickly. We were scheduled for the first city inspection when the pandemic shelter-in-place order was given. I was reassured by Johans, the owner, that the minute the business was released from the shutdown, my project would proceed. After the shutdown and passing that first inspection, the work progressed at an amazing rate. The site supervisor, Ron, would save up all of his questions for our Friday meetings as well as email or texting which would allow me to make necessary decisions quickly. They made sure that every decision I made was followed. There was a great deal of plaster and drywall patching, interior and exterior trim work, refinishing of doors, and many other finishing touches that needed to be done. Ron made sure each detail was completed with care and craftsmanship. The quality of the work was exceptional. All AKB employees and subcontractors were very responsive and respectful of my house as well as my time. At the first meeting with Buffy at my house, she called my house a “gem.” The finished project is better than I could imagine. I was promised a new beautiful home and now have my dream home, my gem."
