We purchased an older family home in San Jose from 1915 that needed a complete makeover. We also planned on increasing the home square footage by adding 1,500 sq ft. Me and my husband both work for a major tech company and were referred to We Remodel And Build internally by 3 coworkers who achieved similar projects in the Bay area. As first-time homeowners we had very limited knowledge of all that despite some preliminary research we had done prior to meeting with Shay. He made it simple to understand and gave us a precise idea of what to expect. His authenticity and transparency when it came to costs and timelines reflected a strong work ethic that our coworkers had mentioned as well. We interviewed 2 more contractors but we clicked with Shay immediately. The first phase of the project consisted of working hand in hand with We Remodel And Buildâ s architect and engineer. Both were a fountain of knowledge and answered all of our questions promptly. Once the drawings were ready and approved by the city, Shay and his crew started executing the plans. The crew was punctual and organized and the quality of craftsmanship exceeded our expectations. Shay beautifully blended the old charm of the home with the new addition. He is extremely responsive and coordinated the whole project with the best possible manager. We were hesitant on the 1,500 sq ft as it felt too overwhelming, stressful and expensive but as the construction work started, we realized that it was more fear than harm and today we are at peace with our decision as it not only added significant space to the house but also increased the value of our property. The result is spectacular and it is now our turn to recommend We Remodel And Build.

Our master bathroom had a known leak from home inspection that we knew we had to fix. We just did not know the extent of the damage and what was needed to fix it. After having been burnt by another contractor for a different remodel job wrt timelines and quality of work, we were very hesitant in dealing with contractors in general, having the impression that the whole industry is fraught with people who up-sell at the outset and flatter to deceive. Enter Shay and his crew, he was always honest with his assessment from the start and transparent with the scope of work and deadlines. We did a complete shower remodel, which it turns out was very much needed since after demo, the shower stall did display evidence of extensive water damage from years of use. Shay pivoted quickly, had a reasonable estimate for changes to the scope of work and thankfully was able to spare George's crew who worked at breakneck speed and efficiency to deliver a quality remodel job. We are very happy with the end result and the job was finished in half the time of the original timeline !

Shay and his team did a great job remodeling and reconfiguring our master bathroom and closet. Before, the space felt cramped and the space around the vanity was not utilized. We wanted to take down a wall and build a new one to reshape the entire area. Shay was honest and informative during the estimate and gave us a very reasonable price and was willing to work with our budget. Shay will always try to save you money without sacrificing quality or deterring you from your vision which we appreciated. In the end we could not be happier with the way it turned out!

Shay at we remodel and build is so nice, friendly and professional! He was not only personable, but he went above and beyond to assist me with various projects. We remodel and build were organized from the onset. Once our room addition project started, they showed up when they said they would and stuck to the timeline to a T. The room addition really improves our property value and it looks beautiful. They may not be the cheapest in town, but they do high quality work and guarantee it even after completion. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use again.

I had a quite challenging transformation in mind for the remodeling of our kitchen, two bathrooms, and the painting of the outside of our home. I can say that after seeing the work We Remodel and Build did, our home has been transformed exactly the way I envisioned. Shay’s team worked diligently to expand the size of our kitchen and create a more modernized look in two of our bathrooms. When it came to painting the outside of our home, I received various inputs regarding design that were extremely useful. Shay, the owner, was incredible to work with. From the start of the project, he assured me that his goal was to meet my needs and achieved this by being friendly and clear when communicating with me about the job. He was always there to answer my calls and I received incredibly fast response rates which made the remodeling job very organized and efficient. As for Shays' team: they were professional, always kept areas clean, and respected our privacy. They strictly followed COVID-19 protocols by always wearing masks and remaining socially distanced. It is always a bit nerve racking when going through a big remodeling project, with regards to the time when construction is taking place in your home. However, Shay and his team put these nerves to rest and my family and I felt safe and comfortable during the entire process. I would highly recommend We Remodel and Build to anyone looking to remodel their home and I will definitely be keeping Shay and his team in mind the next time either myself or someone I know is looking to remodel.

Our project consisted of a kitchen, bathrooms, flooring painting and 1,500 sq ft addition to the existing house and a second story addition due to our growing family and the need for a remote office space. Finding the right contractor is as stressful and time-consuming as going ring shopping with your future-wife-to-be. You want to make the right choice and pray that the dream house / dream ring are affordable ? We came across We Remodel And Build by walking in our neighborhood as we saw a yard sign in a house that was being remodeled near where we live and in the beginning of this pandemic there wasn’t much to do but walk the dog at least 3 times a day which allowed us to observe the evolution of the remodeling project down the street. We were also lucky to talk to the owners and get a sneak peek of the work that was being done. A second story addition is a complex project because of local codes and all kind of restrictions that may apply. Shay was well informed about all that and mentioned that it could create shade issues for the neighboring homes and insisted on the importance of aligning with the general aesthetics of the area by building the second story from scratch by tearing off the roof rather than a modular second-story addition that would be designed and built off-site. The kitchen remodeling was the easy part whereas the 1,500 sq ft addition brought its own set of challenges such as HVAC and electrical. This construction and home remodeling project took 7 months to be completed not including home addition plans, blueprints, city approval and city permits issuance which took an extra 4 months. All our expectations were met, their customer service was excellent from day 1 until completion and we truly have the feeling that we got excellent value for the money we spent.

Building a room addition requires time, effort, patience and money. We had been planning on this 1,200 sq ft room addition for a while and felt that 2021 was the right time given the uncertain times we live in. It is not a cheap gimmick project but a serious construction project. A simple handyman or an average contractor are not enough but very expensive general contractors are not necessarily the best solution either. Our decision to choose â We Remodel & Buildâ was based on multiple criteria: 1. Recommendation from my husbandâ s coworker 2. Shay the owner being very knowledgeable (rules and regulations change all the times especially in California!) and transparent on all aspects of the project 3. Yelp rating and reviews. We interviewed 4 companies in the Bay area but prices were insane (mere thievery to say the least) and we felt that our interaction with the project manager needed to be flawless in order to embark on such a journey. We are very satisfied and we will continue to spread the word around us. Thank you Shay and thank you to the whole team!

Shay and his team is really exceptional. Shay provided us various ideas for remodeling our guest bathroom. They provided the best quote for our guest bathroom remodel project after hunting over a month or so. We remodel and build gave equal importance to each and every step of way. Special thanks to Marco, who is Shay's contractor who is expert in plumbing, electrical and any type of installation. They are very responsive and complete the tasks in a timely manner. We highly recommend We remodel & build for any type of remodel projects. We look forward to work with them in the near future.

I have been wanting my kitchen upgraded and We Remodel and Build made it happen. I had invited 4 companies to bid on my project and it was We Remodel and Build who had the lowest bid and add ons. The owner Shay had always been welcoming from the very beginning, not a lot of sales talk or sugar coating. I already felt comfortable talking to him, I easily laid out my plan and didn't feel intimidated or underestimated. ( you know how other contractors or companies make you feel like you won't be able to afford to pay, lol but not with Shay!) The project took 6weeks of being unable to cook, with restricted spaces and dust, but with We Remodel and Build, I would like to consider those 6weeks more of a positive experience, than a discomfort, and this is because of the people who report to our house everyday to do the job. From the electrician, the plumber, everyone had been professional, polite, tidy, and with excellent customer service. Of course I will not forget to mention Jorge, the carpenter who had been the trusted person of Shay and myself for the whole project. I saw how dedicated and passionate Jorge does his job. He was very detailed and just like Shay, Jorge would only want what makes the customer happy even if this might add an extra time for him to do. Seeing Jorge and his help buddy in my house everyday for 6weeks made me feel like they're family. I enjoyed watching them build my kitchen up to the last day. They have miracle hands lol. To top it all, I will not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone based on my experience with them. I wish Shay and his team more success in the business. Special kudos to Jorge of course who is a precious gem in the company. Thank you all for my new kitchen.
Response from We Remodel & Build Inc.
"We are very glad that after waiting and wanting to remodel you decided to start your home transformation with us. I understand the pressures that sometimes come along with working with contractors and that is why I always try not to sugarcoat things and be as clear with my clients as possible. I am so thrilled to hear that our whole team was able to make you feel comfortable in your home during the long 6-week process. I know that having people in and out of your home is not always the most comfortable and it is always heartening to read that despite the difficulties you were able to have a positive experience. Passionate people like Jorge are part of the friendly people on our team/family and when you choose to work with us our family becomes your family. Thank you for your kind wishes. You were a great person to work with! We hope you continue enjoying your new kitchen and look forward to hearing from you again in the future."

Our project consisted of relocating our laundry room and renovate the kitchen and one small bathroom. We met with 6 different contractors and most of them charged way more than we expected and estimated. We Remodel And Build were reasonable and transparent about their prices. They stuck to the scope of work we had agreed on and respected the timeline we set. The crew was efficient and knowledgeable. We do recommend them as a reliable contractor in the Bay Area
Response from We Remodel & Build Inc.
"Thank you for your recommendation, Breanna. I am pleased to hear that we were able to make your transformation come true while accommodating your budget. Please reach out to us in the future if you are ever in need of a contractor."

My husband and I decided to get a room addition, to accommodate our growing family. When the lockdown was in place I was not sure if construction would be on hold for a long time. I searched and searched for many contractors all over the Bay Area. Shay has the best reviews and came recommended by a past coworker. They were right. Shay at the remodel was so great. He always kept me and my husband in the loop about when they could start again and went over the precautions, and safety plans they would be using once they could work again. Shay and his team made up for the little time lost and more. We found out I was pregnant during the lockdown and the room for our baby was finished before she was born. We did not want to have to worry about construction noise with a newborn. Everything was done so fast and looks amazing. My husband has an eye for small details. He was very impressed.
Response from We Remodel & Build Inc.
"With a growing family and the global pandemic... life can get a bit complicated. My team and I are so happy to learn that we were able to help with the complications of life and create additional room for your growing family. Having your baby's room ready makes life just a little bit easier and I am glad we could help provide your family comfort. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback and please keep us in mind for your next project. We would love to hear from you."

I am writing this review about the work done from Shay at We Remodel and Build. It was far better than I ever thought possible. I was looking for some help with a 400 square foot in-law unit. I was talking with a neighbor about it and he recommended we remodel and build. I also asked for recommendations on NextDoor, and I had two more neighbors recommend them and said what a good job they did! Getting a separate unit fast was very important for me to have. I needed a safe clean and beautiful place for my mother to stay because of Covid and because I wanted her close by. I was worried, though, about having it done on time and safely. My concerns were put at ease because Shay and the team were very honest and fast and used the proper protocol to make sure everything was done safely. Shay had a lot of ideas about what was best for the separate unit, and it was so needed. I work from home, have kids, and now am helping with my mother. I really didnâ t want to have to worry about one more thing during this time and I didnâ t have to. Shay and the team were so on top of things. They were easy to talk to and they responded fast. Plus their prices were lower than my budget. I loved what they did with the second unit. Now my family is close and happy.
Response from We Remodel & Build Inc.
"Thank you for your review, Grace. I am glad my team and I could exceed your expectations. Covid created difficult times for so many of us and we completely understand wanting to have your mother close by. I am so happy that we could help create a safe and comfortable space for you and your mother. If there is any help we can provide to our customers we do our best to meet your needs so that you should not have to worry. We appreciate all of your kind words and hope to hear from you again."

I am so pleased about the work I got done with We Remodel and Build. I was doing a 1000 sq ft AUD, and I had 3 contractors I was speaking with after searching online. One of these contractors was quoting the job at $300,000, and I was feeling pretty frustrated. After talking to my neighbor about my frustrations, she said she worked with We Remodel and Build, and she was really happy with them. She recommended them so much so that I decided to give it a try. Even though it was last minute, I figured what's one more guy? After searching the company online, I found that there were a TON of great reviews, and luckily Shay showed up, even with our limited time. Shay read the plans and asked if we were open to suggestions. We of course said yes, and he suggested to change something with the structure that ultimately allowed us to save a bunch of money on electricity and plumbing! It took us another 3-4 weeks and Shay went to the city to change what was needed for us. Because of this, his offer was over $60,000 lower than the other bids! Thank you so much We Remodel and build, and a big thank you to Shay for giving us such a good idea and saving us all that time and money. The place looks amazing and flawless. The estimate is free, so I would definitely check him out to at least hear some of his amazing, money saving ideas.
Response from We Remodel & Build Inc.
"Thank you for your review, Jennifer. We love nothing more than to learn that our clients are pleased with the way their project turned out. That is always our goal, customer satisfaction! Although it was last minute we are so glad you chose us and were able to receive the pricing that worked for you. Clients should not have to go beyond their budget in order to achieve their dream home and that is why we do our best to be accommodating. Saving our clients time and money is what we strive to do. We are glad you love your homes transformation."

Unfortunately good contractors like Shay are often busy and the lengthy period to start the project can be a compromise. For this specific project Shay couldnâ t start before 7-8 months but he managed to shorten the wait time to 5 months. Shay is honest, professional, and no one has the same work ethic and drive as Shay. He was always easy to get ahold of (which is very important since things can change so quickly when creating and fixing a home) and it was so nice to know I could count on him if anything needed to change to accommodate my clients. I have worked with other contractors before, and Shay at We Remodel and Build stands above the rest. He is so genuine, authentic, and knowledgeable about construction. I myself just had a 1000 square foot remodel job and I knew I had to work with Shay personally. The craftsmanship was exceptional. I cannot stop staring at how amazing it looks. The job is exactly like I wanted. Of all the contractors I have worked with and met, choosing Shay for my own personal project was an absolute no brainer. Please donâ t hesitate to reach out to Shay at We Remodel and Build Home Remodeling for any project you may need, big or small.
Response from We Remodel & Build Inc.
"Although I may be busy, I will always do my best to get my client's projects done as quickly as possible as I know prolonging projects is not preferable. I always enjoy hearing from my clients and answering calls as soon as possible so that I can make sure we both have a clear understanding. Communication is key! I hope that you continue to be mesmerized by your home's transformation. Thank you for the recommendation, we appreciate the time you took to give us your feedback."

I am very happy with SHAY and team provided for our kitchen. We had three different contractors visit us to provide estimates: one said they did not essentially feel like it, another one just stopped responding to us and of course there was Shay and his team. Shays team got back to us the same day we contacted them, came that night to do a walk through and discuss options. He provided an estimate within one week to which I agreed. Shays overall demeanor, along with his teams, is very gentle and thoughtful. They are not pushy and do not nickel and dime you for every request you have. I on the other hand am not the easiest customer and found that they understood what I was looking for even before I got to it.. shay also has a sharp eye for design which is incredibly helpful. Like others who have provided a review, I have already got my next project in with them and am excited to see the results.
Response from We Remodel & Build Inc.
"I am sorry to hear about your negative experiences with other companies in the past and I am glad you made your way to us. I am glad we were able to provide you with a good experience by doing our best to understand your wants and needs. Thank you for choosing us for your project and for taking the time to give us your feedback."

I went to we Remodel and Build remodeling because I was looking for a complete kitchen and remodel of several bathrooms. I had used them over 10 years ago. I was nervous because I have heard stories of others who had contractors show up late, be messy, and not finish the job on time. I was also worried that it would be hard to keep in contact with the contractor and workers. I had the opposite experience. We Remodel and Build Remodeling was amazing, and Shay really helped me by listening to what I wanted and needed for the remodel. He was efficient, explained everything to me through throw whole process, and executed what I envisioned beautifully. Everyone was so nice, always on time, and communicated everything to me. The quality was amazing too! I am so happy with my experience.
Response from We Remodel & Build Inc.
"Yancy, we are so glad to hear that our fast and friendly service allowed you to put your worries to rest and that you had a happy experience with our company. One of our main goals is always to listen to our clients and meet their needs. We are pleased you chose to go with our company for the second time and hope you continue to reach out to us.

I was not sure where to start on an ADU project for my parentsâ property in San Jose and We Remodel and Build gave me all the necessary information. From property setbacks to square footage and height restrictions, etc etc. Also, an electrical pole located close to my parentsâ backyard raised some issues with the city permits and We Remodel were the only contractor (we had contacted quite a few before we met with Shay) who gave us the accurate information which expedited the process significantly. The whole teamâ s response time and knowledgeability exceeded our expectations ad we would definitely recommend their services to a friend or anyone thatâ s interested in building an ADU. They respond and work fast and their pricing was very competitive compared to other contractors.
Response from We Remodel & Build Inc.
"Dana, we completely understand the worries that come along with starting projects like ADU and are glad that we could help provide you with the necessary information to put those worries aside. We provide fast service, accurate information, and fair prices in order to ensure that great clients such as yourself can be satisfied with their home transformation.

We hired We Remodel for a major renovation project at our property in Sunnyvale. We remodeled the kitchen, 3,5 bathrooms and flooring in the entire house. Shay managed the project flawlessly and his team on site was very knowledgeable and easy to cooperate with. All our expectations were met. We also appreciate that no hidden cost were added along the work as we knew that this is something very recurrent with many contractors in the Bay area. Shay is reliable and we will definitely contact him again for any future project we may have.

Shay , president/project manager is a total nightmare. He has short term memory loss and constantly has to be reminded of the scope of work. He drags his crews around like they are day laborers. Poor communication skills and will lie to your face. Dishonest and unwilling to fix major safety issue that his subs created in my home. His office sends inaccurate and threatening emails to harass customers. They have no class or tact. They aren t in the business of making their mistakes right they just want money. Greedy liars.

I had my kitchen remodeled by We Remodel & Build Inc. and I could not expect a better result! Choosing this company was an easy decision for me since i watched them working on my neighbors kitchen and they were very happy. Shay the owner was very easy to work with and made me feel very comfortable with him and his company. He took care of the permit and took me to different showrooms so i can pick my cabinets and countertop. During the project the workers made sure everything was clean and well organized and it made me feel very comfortable throughout the project. I highly recommend this guys and use them on future projects.

We had to convert our loft into bed room. Did a lot of research and we found We Remodel & Build Inc. via another website. We had 4 other contractors to be short listed. After Shay's visit and follow up calls, we have determined Shay and his team is the perfect fit for the job. Shay did all the paperwork with city, though he got some tough time from City office, he spent almost 2 working days with the city to get it done finally. His commitment to deliver his promise is beyond remarks. Shays office staff and his work team delivered excellent results through out the construction. Shay followed up almost every day and visited the site personally to make sure the work is done up to the standard. We are extremely happy with We Remodel & Build Inc.s pricing and its work. Excellent team work. Highly recommended and all our future works will go to them!
