Best Home Remodeling in Palo Alto, California

“We recently completed a home extension and remodel at our primary residence with Done Right Home Builders and Remodeling. Our project manager, Oren, was communicative, responsive, and kept a positive attitude throughout the entire process. Jon and the crew also did a great job. While it’s common to hear that projects like this go over budget and fall behind schedule, ours was completed on time. Some parts of the project did go over the initial budget, but those were mainly due to upgrades we chose or factors outside the company’s control. Overall, we’re happy with the results and the quality of the work. Just keep in mind that their services may come at a slightly higher-than-average price point, but the outcome was worth it for us.”

“My husband and I recently just finished a full house renovation (with layout changes) with D&D Home Remodeling and we are so amazed with the result. After a long process of finding/meeting with different contractors, we are thankful that we have chosen this company. Dan and Daniel Z guided us with the process from finding us a place to stay during the renovation, recommendation on where to buy materials to stay on budget, weekly updates and walkthroughs on the progress, and suggestions to some areas where it needs attention. The team has been very patient despite with all our demands, frequesnt changes and provided an exeptional job together with all the sub-contractors they brought to renovate our home. We are forever grateful with the result.”

“We bought a house in Pleasanton that was a perfect location for our family, but the inside needed quite a bit of work. The projects included re-wiring the entire house, remodeling a guest bathroom, completely remodeling the kitchen, removing a wall, redoing flooring, drywall, insulation, and updating the laundry room. After interviewing 6+ contractors we decided on Inspired Builders and are extremely happy with our decision. Our project manager Eden was with us from the very first meeting and was instrumental to making sure the entire process went smoothly. Eden was very responsive & professional, explain (and followed through on) the company's remodeling process which included a designer, 3D renderings, help with materials, tight timelines, and a 'no surprise' promise. We purchased our house in the summer and wanted to move quickly to be able to finish the remodel before the holidays and Inspired Builders got it done for us. They did pre-signing meetings with us, handled all the permits, met us to finalize the design and materials, and communicated an appropriate amount during the entire process. We chose to move out of our house for 2 months so this communication was very welcomed. They were very reasonable with the minor changes we requested mid-build, and kept their promise to not charge me extra for any surprises that we encountered during demolition/construction. Even the crew literally working and painting our house was very friendly, clean, and helped us with questions when we would occasionally visit. The final results look incredible and all of our family is amazed to see the transformation. My wife says she feels like we are living in "one of those houses from a magazine". We intend to hire them to finish the rest of the house when we are ready.”

“Top Home Builders did a kitchen remodel for me in 2023. I met with Michael and he made the whole process super easy from helping with design to getting the job done quickly and efficiently. His team was communicating with me throughout the whole process and Michael was always there to answer any questions. They did an amazing job and my kitchen now looks fabulous. I definitely recommend them to anyone thinking of remodeling their home!”

“We interviewed three ADU builders in Palo Alto before choosing King David Home Builders. Ray stood out because he focused on practicality and long term value instead of flashy sales talk. Our goal was rental income. We needed the numbers to make sense. Ray helped us adjust the layout slightly to maximize square footage without increasing costs dramatically. That small design tweak ended up increasing our projected rental return. Construction was organized. The team worked full days and kept the site tidy. There were minor material delays with windows, but communication was constant. No guessing, no chasing updates. Now the ADU is rented, and the tenant signed a two year lease. It has already changed our financial outlook”

“We chose Adir for our complete home renovation, which included significant structural changes as well as full window replacement, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, during the initial planning and design discussions, Adir demonstrated a high level of knowledge, patience, and attention to detail. He guided us through every step of the process, including securing city permits and coordinating all aspects of the remodeling work. Throughout the project, Adir was consistently transparent about timelines, costs, and expectations. He communicated clearly and kept us informed at every stage, so we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. His professionalism truly stands out. Adir also provided valuable advice when it came to selecting materials, helping us choose options that balanced quality, durability, and aesthetics. We appreciated that he made sure we felt confident in our choices. As the renovation progressed, he was flexible and accommodating when we requested adjustments and additional improvements, ensuring that the final outcome aligned perfectly with our vision. Overall, our experience was extremely positive, and the quality of the workmanship exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Adir to anyone looking for a reliable, transparent, and skilled professional for their home renovation project.”

“I truly can’t say enough good things about them. We had a plumbing emergency that forced us to take down all the drywall on our kitchen ceiling, and we were convinced there was no way it could be repaired before the holidays. They absolutely saved us. They fit us in on a tight deadline, delivered incredibly high quality work, and were genuinely lovely people to have in our home. The price was incredibly reasonable- especially considering the time crunch and the final result is flawless. Thank you again for turning what felt like a lost cause into a perfect finish right in time for the holidays! Highly recommend!!!”

“I contacted ON Design & Remodeling to help bring some much needed curb appeal to my recently purchased manufactured home, and I’m so glad I did! I chose them because of their many wonderful reviews, as well as their work ethic. I am so pleased with the results, and now I’m happy to add my own 5+ star review. My project manager, Raz, was a pleasure to work with! He listened to my vision, and happily answered my many questions. He was on site often making sure things were progressing nicely and to make sure that I was 100% satisfied with the work. The crew was on time and worked hard every day, and I could tell they took care to make sure every detail was just right. It turned out nicer than I could have ever imagined. The online accounting system was smooth and easy to use, and I knew exactly what was due and when, making my recordkeeping a breeze. It was nice that the payments were staggered at each phase of the job. My neighbors are raving about the work, and my new curb appeal! I have such a smile on my face when I come home at the end of the day to see my vision come true. Thank you ON Design team!”

“Hiring Mission Home for the remodel of all our bathrooms was the best decision we made. A big project like this is scary, but they made everything flow incredibly well. ​Special mention to Sarah in design. She doesn't just give you ideas; she helps you make decisions that actually work for your space! Her guidance was key to making everything look so cohesive. ​Plus, the on-site crew (Ethan, David, and Joseph) were supremely professional. They worked with an impressive efficiency and were very respectful of our home. Communication was constant, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. If you need serious remodeling, I recommend them 100%!"”

“We spent almost six years dreaming about remodeling our kitchen, and this year, we hired Wise Builders to handle it. We could not have been happier! The remodel included (among other things): taking the kitchen down to the studs/subfloor to check for damage, the removal of walls, the building of a pantry and additional storage closet between the kitchen and entryway, the replacement of a window, installation of new cabinets, countertops, flooring, fixtures, and lighting, the replacement of a standard water heater with a tankless water heater and water softener, and the installation of tile on a fireplace (dining room). They did this all while we continued to live in our house, and it was a good experience. They were courteous and kept dust in the rest of the house to a minimum. Michael G. (the project manager) as great to work with. We interviewed four companies, but Michael won the bid. From the beginning, I knew that I was in good hands, and he guided us through every decision and unexpected circumstance. His foremen (Carlos and Juan) and their team (including Roberto and Kevin) worked really hard to make our vision a reality. Shout out to Michelle as well, who designed the cabinet layout. We would definitely hire Wise again, and I'd recommend working with Wise (and especially Michael) to anyone. (The pictures with the brighter green and white cabinets and the fridge/shelving against the wall are from the old kitchen. The rest of the pictures are from after the remodel.)”

“We recently did a whole bathroom remodel with Ocean Remodel and we couldn't be happier with our experience working with Mike. After interviewing several contractors, Mike was the only one who showed up on time, had actually reviewed our Kohler designs beforehand, and arrived prepared with great suggestions on the spot. Exceptional Communication: Mike was fantastic to work with—always speedy, professional, and straight to the point. He spent the necessary time with us upfront to iron out the timeline and logistics, which made the entire process feel seamless. Problem Solvers: Like many remodels, we ran into a few unforeseen structural issues. Mike handled them perfectly, suggesting smart alterations to our original design that still delivered a result we absolutely love. Professional Crew: The team was incredibly respectful of our home and kept the workspace remarkably clean throughout the project. Attention to Detail: Even though we provided our own design and materials through Kohler, Mike and his guys executed the vision perfectly.”

“I had a great experience with Be Home Remodeling! So many of my friends have had nightmare stories with their contractors, so I was pleasantly surprised to be so happy with my results. I had consulted 3 different companies, but Tomer (the Project Manager) assured me they could meet my objectives and that it would be done on time, which was my main concern since I had to move out during the renovation. Their pricing came in most competitive as well. They made great progress each week, with various inspections passed on schedule for forward motion. He and Fito (the Foreman) were really respectful of my needs and responded to all my questions promptly. Bathrooms involve *alot* of details and minutae that I did not anticipate, but we managed to get through them all with a bit of scrambling. The crew was respectful to my neighbors (I live in a multi unit building), and returned to do some additional cleaning & touch ups that I requested. I highly recommend Be Home Remodeling and would definitely use them for any future projects. They really made my vision come to life! I love my bathroom.”

“Element Home Remodeling replaced all the floors in our house and the result is stunning. The crew worked quickly, kept the space clean, and delivered exactly what they promised.”

“My parents hired Green Bay Remodeling to update all of their bathrooms, which hadn’t been renovated since they bought the house in ‘76. They finished the entire project in 5 weeks. The two bathrooms and powder rooms now look so modern it feels like a brand new home. The designer was very patient and kind with my parents, and our Project Manager, Oren, was fantastic. He communicated clearly and effectively answered all of our questions. Highly recommend.”

“The Dreamprint Home Remodeling team helped with our kitchen and bathroom remodel, including converting a mudroom into a new bathroom. Mendy drew up our permit drawings and got the permit approved with the city of San Jose. He was quick and responsive, and worked to the timeframes he promised. He was familiar with the city of San Jose and went in person to get our permit approved quickly. When we had to make alterations to the permit drawings (we discovered necessary changes as demolition and rough work proceeded), he did them very quickly and walked in again to get approval on the spot, keeping our project on time. He also gave great advice with regards to inspection appointments.”

“We hired NuHome Remodeling for our house remodeling which started with addition and 3 bath room remodel, but ended up with pretty much full house remodel including the full kitchen remodeling as well. The project managers that we had worked with were Tony, Issac and Amit. The experiences that we had with the team were exceptional, Tony and his team leads were very professional, patient, attentive to details, and transparent to the cost. They were excellent in communications and never delay responding to our messages, usually within a few minutes or within hours for any questions that we ask at any time of the day. In terms of services, they are like one stop shop that includes almost everything that we need from a contractor for remodeling so it really saved a lot of our time from talking with different people for different phases of the remodel. Their team has the architect who started with the floor plan with us, with a lot of back and forth discussions and our inputs taken into considerations. After we agreed and finalized the plan, they submitted it to the city for the permit. Since the architects and the construction team are under the same leadership of NuHome, in our case, Tony, this saves a lot of later potential integration problems between the architectural plans and the executions of the construction. During the construction, there were a few times that we changed our plans, for example, changing the size of the closet and pantry, Tony and the team were accommodating it; and in the middle of the construction, we were also changing the type and the number of outlets and the spot lights, Tony and the team were also incorporated that as well. We also had changed the plan for the TV ascent wall, and the team were fully in corporation and working with for the change, which turned out to be beautiful. Another area that really pleased and benefit us was NuHome has excellent interior designer who had worked with us closely in designing the bathrooms, and helping us picking up the right materials that worked perfectly for us, this saved us so much potential headache as we pretty much knew nothing in this field. The three bathroom designs turned out beautifully and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely attribute this to the team deep dedication of putting customers’ need first, in addition to the construction team’s skill set. The team has made sure to take care of our need from the very beginning to the end of the project, for little things like making sure we have the new lock after the whole project is done is even within their considerations, so we are moving into our new home feeling happy, comfortable and safe. Thanks so much to the team for their excellent work, and we are definitely going to recommend NuHome Remodeling.”

“The general rule of thumb is to get at least 3 quotes before beginning any remodel. We were so impressed with Amir Levy from HQR that we chose to forgo this advice. Amir was the second contractor we reached out to, but we knew within the first 15 minutes of our consultation that we wanted him to lead our remodel. As it was our first time doing a full house remodel, we really had no idea what to expect. The first contractor we spoke to made grandiose claims about what they could accomplish and how easy everything would be as well as pressured us to sign a rushed and inaccurate SOW, all of which gave us bad vibes. In contrast, Amir was refreshingly realistic about the process of going through a full remodel, including going over with us all of our available options with the pros and cons of each option; what to consider and expect during each stage of the remodel; and typical remodeling challenges. After our consultation, he sent us a very detailed SOW within the promised time frame. As we were reviewing the SOW, he encouraged us to ask questions and be upfront with him about all of our concerns. Whatever concerns we had prior to signing the contract, he was able to address honestly and without any sugarcoating. We truly felt that he had our best interests in mind and wanted us to make the right decision for our home and family, regardless of who we went with. We ultimately signed with HQR because we felt that we could trust Amir. Amir understands full house remodels very well which made the entire process overall stress free for us. If we had questions about any phase, Amir was able to answer them; if he didn’t have the answers, he would search for them and get back to us. He also has a list of recommended vendors for each major phase. While he didn’t require us to go with his vendors, we ended up going with them 99% of the time because it greatly simplified things for us. We know we were not the easiest clients due to our perfectionist tendencies. However, Amir is also a perfectionist himself, and this is reflected in the quality of work that he delivered. No large project is completely without challenges so what matters to us is how those challenges are addressed. If there was ever a mistake in the work, he would have his workers fix it to his (very high) standards, no questions asked. There were even many instances where he pointed out and corrected mistakes that we would have never caught ourselves which is a reflection of his integrity and dedication to delivering quality work. As we progressed in the project and had a better idea of our remaining budget, we added several change orders. Amir made the change order process very straightforward by giving us reasonable quotes with full clarity on what would be included and excluded. We never felt like we had to negotiate with him, and there were never surprises about something not being covered. In summary, we feel very fortunate to have crossed paths with Amir Levy. He is honest, hardworking, dependable, and passionate about his work. He keeps all of his promises no matter how large or small. Thanks to him, we went from having an outdated, mostly original 1970s home to what we finally feel is a beautiful home that reflects our family. We receive compliments from EVERYONE who visits. If you are looking to have a remodel done, I cannot recommend Amir more. He will prove himself to you over and over again.”
