For nearly three decades Home Pros has specialized in superior work and personalized service for the area’s remodeling needs. From the San Francisco Bay area all the way down to Carmel, we've helped people realize the true potential of their home. We pride ourselves on the quality of our workmanship and our prompt professionalism. We provide unparalleled service for your remodeling needs, within a nice, neat working environment. Home Pros handles all permits and adheres to all applicable state codes and regulations. Since our work is based on recommendations, we complete your project on-time & on-budget!

"I hired Home Pro’s to remodel my 38 years old kitchen. Absolutely great experience! The process was very smooth, communication was clear and timely, priorities and budget were respected. The end result is a stunning kitchen that met all of my needs and fit the space like a glove. My experience was so great, I have already booked another project with Home Pro’s due to begin this spring, 2024. Read on for more detailed review. My goals for this remodel were to raise the ceiling height by getting rid of the fluorescent light box, add additional 20-amp circuits for countertop appliances, increase storage and countertop workspace (both linear and height clearance between upper and lower cabinets), and finally give the room an updated look without compromising flow or the original architectural aesthetics. I also specified that the quality of materials (durability and ease of cleaning) was very important to me. I expect this kitchen to last at the minimum 15-20 years. Jim submitted his design plans for my review, made his recommendations for a cabinet line / company that would meet my expectations (replacement parts and doors available). The design was very thoroughly thought out. Attention was given to things that would have never crossed my mind, such as extra space between corner sink and dishwasher to make loading the dishwasher easier; custom built-in over-the-counter microwave; cabinets where there were none before; extended countertop to add a coffee bar; and a custom table made from the same material as the countertop. Once the design was accepted, I received a contract with detailed cost for all work and materials. This full transparency was very beneficial to me. It helped me make informed decisions when deciding between full quartz backsplash or tile (the full quartz was surprisingly less expensive than the tile I would have chosen). Jim is very considerate of finances, often offering options and choices with money saving advantages. He offered simple work-arounds, suggesting rerouting an air duct instead of repositioning a support beam. This simple work-around saved me $2,000. Communication was very clear throughout the project. Employees and specialty contractors were all licensed professionals. They kept the work area clean, answered questions clearly, and most importantly, provided excellent completed work. I went into the project with a 25% buffer for unexpected expenses, as there are always surprises when you open walls. Fortunately, these were minimal and Jim used cost effective approaches when addressing them. He educated me on the options and let me make the final choices. The entire process was very fluid. There were a few slowdowns, but these were due to the City of Fremont missing inspections, not returning calls or emails, and not picking up the phone at times. Unfortunately, Fremont has suffered with these issues even before COVID, so if you live here be aware of possible delays. I have visited many open houses in my neighborhood to see how other neighbors have remodeled their space over the last 30 years. They ranged from simple facelift approaches to full luxury, and even converting to open concept design. Thankfully, I believe mine is the best kitchen remodel for this floor plan in the development. Nothing looks forced or out of place. Jim’s design is impressive and robust. Thoughtful and carefully chosen upgrades made a huge difference. My new kitchen is extremely functional, and has a sophisticated, timeless look."

"This company was hired by my home insurance as a subcontractor and gets paid directly by the insurance.  And yet, they filed a frivolous mechanics lien against my property only a month after the work, without providing any prior preliminary notice.  This is after I received a letter from the insurance company stating that everything was paid in full.  Instead of checking up with the insurance company for any discrepancies or contacting me to discuss the matter further, they just jump right into filing a frivolous and invalid lien.  Looks like this is what this company usually does to the homeowners after just one billing cycle based on other reviews online.  This is their go-to billing method.  Unconscionable and unethical!  I will have to hire a lawyer to look into their unusual billing tactics.  Not only that, they left my window frames damaged, and left a sharp metal spike sticking out on my bedroom carpet.  I could have gotten seriously injured if I stepped on it.  They also left items damaged from the demolition, which needed to be hauled away, with sharp nails sticking out, right in my bedroom.  The gentleman who came out to do the initial evaluation was nice, but other employees seemed unhappy.  Terrible company!"

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Determining if your water main contains lead involves a few steps. First, check the age of your property, as homes built before the 1980s might have lead pipes. Contact your water utility company for information on your service line material. Then, you can hire a professional plumber to conduct an inspection or use a lead testing kit to analyze water from the main line.

A DIY kit can lessen the sting that comes with paying for a professional assessment, but these comprehensive tests are true lifesavers. Inspectors are more likely to catch all of the pollutants and hazards in your air. Plus, you’ll still need a professional to verify and act on your DIY test results. 

Some kits don’t include tests for certain air pollutants or only detect their presence, but not their levels (i.e., mold spores). If you’re willing to shell out money for a DIY kit, it’s usually better to stretch your budget slightly higher for a more detailed assessment.

Hazardous waste is waste that poses a threat to human or environmental health. This generally refers to waste that is flammable, corrosive, toxic, or reactive. To confirm if the waste you need to remove is considered hazardous waste, contact your local hazardous waste facility.

Services test for allergens, mold, VOCs, and carbon monoxide levels to ensure a healthy indoor environment.

You do not have to remove lead paint if the surface is not chipping or peeling or if there are no pregnant people or children under the age of six who live in or regularly visit your home. Lead paint is a particular risk for young children whose brains and bodies are not fully developed. Experts strongly recommend that you call a pro to remove lead paint if it’s peeling or flaking, no matter who lives in the home. You can experience lead poisoning by breathing in or ingesting just a small amount of it.
