Allyn Johnson is the owner of the business and oversees customer development, management, and general contracting. He served as my single point of contact throughout the initial planning and into the execution phases. He has always been responsive to phone calls, texts and e-mails. Moises and Carlos are the two craftsmen who worked on the project. Throughout the demolition and construction phases, they were courteous and professional. They prepped and cleaned the work area each day to minimize disruption while my wife and I continue to live in the home. They performed the work with attention to detail and also recommended design choices that made the overall appearance look better than I had designed. Caroline is the design consultant and manages the back office items like billing and scheduling. CBKR procured all of the finished goods through their supplier for the project: cabinet, countertop, tiles, plumbing fixtures, toilet, mirror, and shower door. My only negative experience with the project was a misalignment between the center of one of the vanity sink faucet with the center of the vanity cabinet door panel. Somehow, the center of the cabinet door was 1-inch to the right of the center of the sink faucet. The dry wall texture could also be improved too so that it's not obvious where the fixtures previously hung. Overall, I had a pleasant experience with CBKR. The combination of value, courtesy, professionalism and trust was the reason why I opted for them instead of a contractor with a lower bid.
2/16/2016 UPDATE: CKBR repaired the dry wall texture after they saw my Yelp review. They responded to my comment and sent Moises to resurface and repaint the patches within the week. It now looks much better. To the untrained eye, you don't even notice that there was work done in the bathroom. I'm a happy camper. Thanks Allyn, Caroline, Moises and Carlos!

The result is a very special condo that expresses who we are in ways we could not have imagined. With her exquisite sense of style and color and keen diplomatic skills, Ms Elliman was able to guide us toward the right choices in everything. She figured out how best to lay out our space and which colors and details from tile to trim, would make our condo seem spacious and contemporary, yet - also comfortable. Sylvia's counsel on what furniture to keep and what to buy was perfect and indeed, opened my eyes to a new, more modern look that still accommodated some antiques we already had.

The designer/salesman had pre-packaged marketing material, including videos, which had reasonable enough information on paving, as well as sales pitches of why System Pavers are better than alternative contractors. Along with finding out what I wanted for my patio, the salesman asked me who else I had talked to about the job and targeted his pitch specifically at the competition. He effectively asked me outright what the alternative bid had been, but all I told him in the end was that the estimate I got from him was high. He followed-up with an email in which he brought his original estimate down by $1K to $16K.The competitor bid was $12K. The only pitch the salesman had against this particular competitor (who he acknowledged did good work) was that they didn't have as much marketing, and maybe didn't pay their workers as much for backyard work. Also, I think the competitor's guarantee period is shorter, which the salesman did not point out. This was an apples to apples comparative bid, since I had done my homework on exactly what I wanted in lay-out and material, and both companies came-up with the same design for details such as steps and drains. What I think is that the benefit to consumers of large-company scaling is business dependent, and there is no great benefit going with the largest company for residential patio paving. I'll give a review of the competitor after the job is done."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/fremont/system-pavers-reviews-2347173.htm"},"position":10}]}

"Herman Construction is the best company that I have hired. Karol and his crew work diligently, precisely, accurately, and are punctual. The quotes and estimates are accurate and fair. The work performed was professional and immaculate. Karol and his crew came in to install laminate flooring as I was about to start moving in. The flooring in three rooms came out gorgeous. I approached Karol with a plea of help. I explained the situation with the three rooms that had old carpeting. The previous tenants had dogs that destroyed the carpets and closets. Karol came in with his crew and performed a miracle. The rooms look brand new and the closets refinished to a state where I have lots of room for my clothing. I highly recommend Herman Construction and will be using them for all of my projects. They deserve 10 stars for being the best company."

"We were looking to remodel our kitchen or bath for a few years. We kept getting estimates from different companies and always felt the price was off or the person was not a good fit. Then, finally, we met Shai with Cal Green Remodeling. What a great guy! He is very upfront and honest about what we can expect in terms of cost and work flow. Because of his honest approach, we hired him. We felt he gave us the good and bad and how to resolve the bad as well. In the end, the process was fairly smooth, and the few hick-ups we had, for example, the city and their permit process, were well explained to us at the beginning, so we were ready. Our kitchen or bath looks amazing, and I plan to work with Cal Green Remodeling again. Thanks Shai!"

"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"

"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."

"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."

FAQs for residential design projects in Mountain View, CA
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
