Greenberg Construction Reviews 5 out of 5 stars, based on 55 reviews By Gina A. May 14, 2021 Bathroom Addition Ohad is an amazing Project Manager. He devoted a great deal of time to acquainting me with Greenberg Construction via their very well-equipped showroom, a current construction project in my neighborhood, and a detailed description and estimate for my bathroom addition. He is very accessible and reasonable and quite willing to adapt to all the client's choices. He also has stupendous references from clients who have worked with him multiple times. In addition, Heather is extremely efficient in running the office and very helpful in being on top of details, relaying messages, etc. I am quite favorably impressed with Greenberg Construction. By Corinna L. March 7, 2021 Addition And Kitchen Remodel $350,000 We decided to remodel our 1950s ranch home to add a master bedroom and bathroom over the garage, remove the chimney, install HVAC, add skylights, and enlarge our kitchen. Since the addition required structural changes, and we planned to live in our home for many years to come, we wanted to hire a design/build firm that could guide us through the complexities of the project and deliver beautiful results. We interviewed five firms and ultimately selected Greenberg Construction. Top of mind when we chose Greenberg was our strong rapport with project manager Ginadi. From the beginning, he impressed us with his commitment to open communication. The estimate he provided was also very detailed, so we understood not only how much individual steps would cost but also how the entire project broke down into phases with inspections. Read more Response from Greenberg Construction March 17, 2021 Thank you, Corinna. We are thrilled that you are happy with the way things are going. And thank you for acknowledging Ginadi, Jennifer and the Team - we do strive to give the best attention not only to the details, but to the overall experience. Thanks again for the great review! By Margot E. March 21, 2020 In-Law Suite Renovation $100,000 Greenberg Construction was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Their project manager Ginadi was responsive and efficient, and their crew bent over backwards to make sure that our renovation project was completed to a high standard and according to our exacting specifications. Their whole team was excellent. We welcomed their hard-working, professional crew in our house. We would gladly work with them again. Response from Greenberg Construction August 27, 2020 Hello Margot, Thank you so much for your review and we are so pleased that your project went well with Ginadi. We look forward to working with you in the future, also! By jsmoon December 23, 2019 Whole House Remodel I hired Greenberg after interviewing 7 contractors. I was very impressed with Maor's professional and expertly quote. Price was not lower side for sure but I was able to see exactly what I am getting. And I also felt there is no crazy overhead like some contractors. I have had many setbacks due to numerous issues in my planning but for every issue, Maor stood by my side, working with city and architect to give the best solution possible. And unlike others, he is not afraid to change/challenge the plan if it is for the right reason. Maor and his team have great sense of design and I have adopted many of their ideas along the way. The result has been outstanding so far. I particularly like their sense of minimalistic clean modern design. Their selection of materials are great and the design service for kitchen/bar/laundry from Jennifer and Marin has been top-notch. I am about 2-3mon away before my completion of projects. I will certainly update this review when my project is done. But it was my best decision to go with Greenberg and they really saved my entire project. I will certainly consider going with them for the whole process next time. I respect Maor for his professionalism and expertise and I consider him as a friend coming out this hugely challenging project together. By Sherry B. December 23, 2019 New Construction $50,000 Our project involves tearing down our existing home and building a new house on a hillside lot. After interviewing different builders, we realized Greenberg Construction is in a league by themselves. In addition to offering most of the relevant services (architectural design, 3D modeling, structural engineering, … and assistance with interior design), they fully comprehend and assist with cost vs. value tradeoffs. They really care and walk the talk because they have depth and breadth in both skills and experience. We hired Greenberg in early October with an almost impossible schedule of architecting our new house, going through our city’s hearing and approval process, engineering the structural plans, and submitting to the city’s building department before the city’s Dec 20 deadline (Major new building codes take effect on Jan 1, 2020). We had less than three months to achieve what normally takes upwards of one year. Rather than tell us we have an impossible task, Greenberg took it upon themselves to achieve success. This magical turn-around involved daily architectural revisions and parallel structural engineering, all with a clam and supportive attitude. Working around the clock (we were getting updated plans at 4am), Greenberg delivered and we achieved our building department stamp on Dec 18, 2019. Thus far our experience has been like a fairy tale, and we are confident the rest of our journey will be just as successful. By Paul L. October 25, 2019 Kitchen Remodel Greenberg just completed a total kitchen remodel, and the experience was wonderful. I was especially pleased with how they worked with me on the specific design I wanted. Valuable suggestions and guidance were offered, but I always felt in control, and the results are better than I was hoping for. By Luis October 8, 2019 Considered for Grid and Ceiling Tile Replacement Very professional By Bill A. September 3, 2019 $60,000 We had a great experience remodeling our bathroom with Greenberg Construction. They provided us with a reasonable estimate, and explained what would happen in case of contingencies - which we fully expected - given a 70 year old home. Sure enough, after they did the demolition, it became clear we had some dry rot. They came up with a plan to deal with it. Later, not unexpectedly but on a Sunday, the water heater died. They arranged to have it replaced the next day. There were a number of other unexpected issues, so the project took longer than originally planned and was considerably more expensive - but all of these changes led to much needed improvements to our home. There were a few cases where placement of (for instance) light fixtures and shower niches were difficult to do given the placement of supporting beams in the wall. In these cases our project leader worked closely with us to explain options. In the end we were able to get the bathroom arranged to our wishes. We really enjoy our beautiful new bathroom! By Roshni P. May 7, 2019 Verified Hire Complete remodel with complete success Our project is completed and we are amazed and thrilled with the work by Ginadi and his Team!! We heard a lot of horror stories of people’s experiences with remodeling, but ours was not part of THAT statistic. And the timing was perfect. We moved into our home in January and our home weathered the aggressive winter weather with no problem. Ginadi has been like family to us, he is kind, honest, very very very responsive, and he guided us through every step of the process. Considering we had no experience in this, Ginadi always took time to explain aspects of the project in detail. He would always say, “what questions do you have for me? Followed by “What else?” We are glad to have chosen Greenberg and especially thankful for Ginadi. As we did the final walk through, it was surreal to see him leaving. He has been just an important part of our lives and we are grateful that our house was in his hands! :) Response from Greenberg Construction July 3, 2019 Thank you, Roshni, for your review of Ginadi and our team. We do work hard to provide the best service possible and we are thrilled to hear that everything went so well! By Ian C. May 2, 2019 Considered for Room Addition Greenberg's proposal was much higher (20% - 30%) than the next highest competitor's. The estimator was professional and courteous. By Matthew March 28, 2019 Verified Hire Bathroom Remodel project We are really happy about our experience with Ginadi and Greenberg Construction. They recently completed remodeling our master and guest bathrooms. The end result is better than we even imagined it could be. Using our master bathroom feels like getting a spa treatment. Ginadi and his team were a pleasure to work with. The guys who worked on the bathrooms were friendly and we felt totally comfortable with them working in the house while we were away. They were always very good about locking up when they left. They were also great about closing the garage door when it didn’t need to be open as we had asked them to. The quality of the work was top notch. The tile work in particular turned out amazing. Ginadi was great at making himself available to chat via text or phone about any questions we had about the project as it was going. I really valued Ginadi’s experience as well. He had great suggestions and it was a relief to be working with someone who has the experience to know what works well and what doesn’t. It’s nice to work with people who you can trust to do a good job and can also come up with good solutions to problems. He was also great about telling us early on about all the things we will need to purchase for the project, such as the tile, shower systems, etc. Ginadi also cared a lot about our circumstance as well. With my wife being pregnant we really needed the project to be completed on time well before the due date. Ginadi’s team worked practically every weekend to make sure of this, which we really appreciated. His team was also able to squeeze in the installation of a new tankless water heater, which we weren’t originally planning to do until we discovered the old one needed replacement. Overall we’re really glad we chose to go with Greenberg. Read more By Rachel V. March 13, 2019 Replace Windows And Siding $16,800 This was our second project by Greenberg--replacing rotten wood siding with concrete siding, replacing 3 windows, and replacing an outside door to an electrical panel. They did an excellent job! What I like best about them is that Ohad & Genadi really go to bat for you with all of the contractors to make sure their work is perfect. They are also very friendly and quick to communicate, and they listen well to your desires for the project. We will definitely call them again whenever we're ready for our next big project! By Hao W. February 18, 2019 General Contracting $45,000 It's our first time dealing with a contractor as this is our first home. I have to say, Ohad and his team has met all the expectation I had. We hired Greenberg for a general contracting job that involves popcorn ceiling removal, hardwood floor installation, complete lighting overhaul, attic insulation reinforcement and conversion of gas fireplace to electric. Ohad has been very responsive to my questions and concerns and would always keep me in the loop via texts and calls, even in evenings and weekends. We met in the house for progress inspection and partial payment for completed jobs every few days and Ohad was punctual every time. The communication has been great and Ohad ensured we always knew what was going on and what was going to happen next. Read more By Addy February 1, 2019 Verified Hire Bathroom Remodel Project We are very pleased with the work that they did for our bathroom remodel. Ohad's work ethic is excellent. He's helpful and very good at updating us. What's more, the guys that work for Ohad are great people and mostly they are on time. You really can't go wrong working with Greenberg Construction! By jeffdeeney January 24, 2019 Kitchen/House Remodel $180,000 We hired Greenberg Construction to do a full kitchen remodel and also a partial remodel of the rest of our home. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Everything looks fantastic. Ohad and Ginadi who led the project couldn't have been better to work with, they were both extremely responsive and very friendly to work with. All the workers who were here were very professional, and did a good job to work around all of our pets which was important. We have a guest bathroom we plan on remodeling later this year and we will not hesitate to use Greenberg again. By Ema P. January 16, 2019 Kitchen, Family Room, Living Room Remodel $200,000 We hired Greenberg to do a remodel of our kitchen, living room & family room. Overall, we've had a great experience working with them & would use them for future work. On our first meeting, Maor provided us with ideas on how we could achieve what we wanted, while listening to what was important to us and what we didn't want to change. Very soon after, he provided us with a detailed break up of the budget and timelines. Greenberg's proposal made us feel most comfortable in terms of cost and their ability to execute. We were not disappointed through the project!. Greenberg met their timelines (very rare in the remodeling world!) and provided us with an A quality team. The team was always available for any questions we had & even as issues/challenges came up, we were able to work together to resolve them. They are very responsive & continue to work with us on post project closure issues as well. We love our remodeled home & would recommend Greenberg to anyone that wants to embark on a remodel project. By Rachel V. December 20, 2018 Kitchen Remodel $35,000 Our new kitchen looks fantastic! We chose Greenberg, because their quote was lower than the one we received from another company, and because they were able to start sooner. They didn't disappoint us. They were very professional throughout our time working with them; they had all of their contract paperwork in order up front, and there were no surprise costs. They were able to start very soon after our initial conversation, and the project was completed in about 8 weeks (as compared to the 6 weeks they predicted). However, the brief delay was almost entirely the fault of the company that installed the countertops, which was not under Greenberg's jurisdiction, so I don't fault them for that. They were even willing to go to bat for us with that other company as well as with our backsplash vendor to make sure we were treated well. If I could suggest an area for them to improve on, it would be making sure all important information gets transmitted to all the right people (from us to the managers to all the contractors and vice versa, for example) and to keep us in the loop a little more on what days we can expect them to work on our project. By Kevin October 30, 2018 $45,000 Just had Greenberg Construction repair and remodel our master bathroom, which had a leak that had damaged the floor. I was very pleased and recommend Greenberg for a number of reasons: 1. Quality of the work was excellent. 2. Their quote was very honest. In my particular case there was damage that would not be visible until the floor was removed. Other contractors left this repair out of their quote entirely and would deal with it once the floor was out. Greenberg gave an estimate based on their best estimate of the square footage of the damage and made this assumption clear. When the floor was removed, the damage area turned out to be a slightly larger than assumed, the additional work needed was quoted at a rate consistent with their "per s/f" quote. I appreciated their upfront attempt to capture this cost (and that their initial estimate of the size of the damage was very realistic), as opposed to kicking it down the road to make their initial quote look lower. 3. The project mananger (Ohad) was very responsive, thorough, and efficient. I was very pleased with the result and will not hesitate to use Greenberg again. By Paul October 24, 2018 Considered for Bathroom Remodel We didn’t end up selecting them for our project but they are very professional and organized. They are definitely worth contacting to get a bid for your project. By Suma October 15, 2018 2nd Floor Remodel We are mid-way through our 2nd renovation project for the year but the first one with Greenberg. Every project comes with stress and hiccups but I have to say that there are several things I really value during our current project. The team is sincere, reassuring and kind. Seriously. Those are tough characteristics to find in the construction world. They truly care. No one likes strangers in their home. The people on the job site are hard working and a pleasure to have in our home. Our assigned team (Ohad and Ginadi) have been responsive to our needs and questions. The work so far has been lovely and they have passed inspection every time without issue. My favorite thing is that no matter what I bring up or point out they always say "Don't worry - we will take care of it" and they have kept to their word. I will do another review when we are at the end. August 30, 2018 Ohad and his teams worked on our guest bathroom and we were very happy with the results. They were punctual, responsive, efficient , clean and most importantly they delivered. Even when problems arise they promptly fix it and have great follow ups. We are very happy with their work and highly recommend Ohad and his team. By Anonymous August 28, 2018 Ohad and his teams worked on our guest bathroom and we were very happy with the results.

We are very happy with their work and highly recommend Ohad and his team. By Bryce August 6, 2018 Bathroom Remodel, And Adjacent Bedroom Work $32,000 Greenberg Construction, PMed by Ginadi, helped us realize our vision of a luxurious central bathroom. We are thrilled with the end result! I will try to post some before and after photos after we finish decorating. We were dealing with a very cramped space in a 1950s home, almost a closet-sized, with a single tiny sink. Together we came up with a really innovative solution by expanding the bathroom in an L-shape into an adjacent bedroom's closet. We relocated that bedroom's closet to the inside portion of the "L", which still left plenty of room in the bedroom. But the resulting feel of the bathroom space was SO much more spacious and comfortable, allowing for a full dual vanity, half-wall tile wainscoting, and beautiful fixtures. You have to see it, they really did a wonderful job with all the details.

June 3, 2018 Enlarged Bedroom, Adding Family Room. Bathroom Remodeling $310,000 After 25 years living in a small house with vacant back yard at Everygreen Valley SJ, I decided to enlarge my bedroom, adding a family room and remodeling kid bathroom. I started searching construction builder and led me to buildzoom.com. I posted my request for renovation. Within a week, I received many phone calls, but among calls, one kept my attention as the call was sincere,and met my request - Greenberg Constructionand Development co. Greenberg's representative, Ginadi, who showed up on time, friendly, and patiently answered my needs also gave me estimate quote for the project,and called him when I ready met him again. The 2nd appointment that explained project contract, which listed each phase of work, such as foundation, framework and wall, electrical and pluming plan, roofing...and quote, I only paid after each work done and passed inspection. Read more By Nishan S. December 31, 2017 Home Remodel $300,000 We had a great experience working with Greenberg Construction. We spoke to a lot of contractors before finalizing Greenberg Construction. We chose them because they were very patient and paid attention to all our requirements. Immediately after their first visit, they sent us a detailed budget document with a split of all the costs. In addition, they had some great ideas about how we could incorporate all our needs within our budget. They completely transformed our home by creating an open kitchen, remodeling the bathrooms and adding a master suite closet in our single storied house. We loved the ideas they came up with, from architectural plans to the overall beauty of how seamlessly the house integrates with the other spaces. They completely understood our style and gave some great suggestions about what materials to use. We truly enjoyed the outcome of the project. Maor, Jennifer, Alex and his crew were all great to work with. They listened and understood what we wanted and executed flawlessly within timeline and budget. Greenberg Construction is an extremely professional team that handled our remodel project smoothly from the beginning to end and we highly recommend them. December 27, 2017 we received 3 estimates from buildzoom; we decided to go with Greenberg after meeting with Ginadi, The Greenberg Construction representative. We have just compliments to share about Ginadi: Ginadi gave us a very detailed estimate, and contract. He is very attentive to requests and forms a wonderful rapport with clients (like he did with us); he is a fast responser to any question over the phone, email or text; he checks daily about progress and his team; he does it all in a calming reassuring manner. Ginadi over sees a wonderful professional team. We were impressed by the work that was done by theo electrician, the meticulous way the painter and plumber were working. Though I am a very small detailed oriented person, I could not find one point to complain about! By a user in Fremont November 7, 2017 Master Suite Addition & Roof Replacement This review is in 2 parts: Mid-job and completion. 1. If you're looking for a contractor, pick Greenberg. You won't regret it. This 5-star rating is well deserved. We are actually about 3 months into a major renovation, adding a master bedroom, moving walls, with a new roof and other over-due repairs. So far, Greenberg's coming in at less than the original quote and a few weeks earlier than initially projected. The work is great! Our situation is a bit sensitive, as we lost a child and recently had a new baby. We wanted to preserve our daughter's room and build out for the baby. We actually called multiple contractors, got quotes & interviewed 4. Ginadi came out from Greenberg construction and he is absolutely fabulous to work with! He had great ideas and was very creative in helping us come up with the right solution for our needs. We chose Greenberg because of our interactions with Ginadi, as well as their reputation. The quotes were similar to other contractors, but Greenberg's quote was very detailed. We could tell where all of the costs came from, down the number of fixtures! The timeline seemed a bit long compared to what I was expecting, but Ginadi wanted to make sure that we considered potential delays from the city, etc. Ginadi was so honest and thoughtful, I knew I could trust him with our home. For me, being able to trust the Contractor was very important. I needed to know they would do a great job and also that they would do their best to protect our daughter's room. So far, we are 3-months into the job, with about 2-3 weeks left to go. The team at Greenberg construction, especially Angel and Carlos are fantastic! Their work is done very precisely and they have done a great job protecting the rest of the house from construction dust. The roof is beautiful and the budget actually included high-end, energy-efficient shingles. We actually took a 2-month long vacation during my maternity leave and Ginadi sent us pictures and communicated with us every step of the way with "WhatsApp". Being a detail oriented person, and a bit type A, I really appreciated this and the way the Ginadi communicates openly and honestly. Ginadi and his team have been incredibly patient with us as we made decisions along the way. Their advice has been greatly appreciated. These guys are smart and experienced. I'll post again once the job is done. Read more By Anna G. October 30, 2017 In Law Remodel Maor was fabulous! Alex was just as fabulous. We had a small in law unit we wanted to build and Greenberg was the right choice. From the beginning, Maor was friendly and honest.

Any issues were addressed and solved By Andew D. August 24, 2016 $250,000 70 Days I worked with Maor on a complete home remodel project over the past several weeks and I have nothing but good things to say regarding Greenberg construction. I am more than pleased with the outcome of the work. It was done to my specifications and remained at the quoted price, which was reasonable. This is impressive considering the detail that has to go into bidding on the job and the customer actually getting what they want. Maor and his team are very thorough, professional and responsive. I can honestly say that I never had to wait for an answer to a question for over an hour. That was unheard of with my previous construction projects with other companies. My work was done in a timely manner and with such attention to detail that I wouldn't hesitate to give them referrals or work with them again. The team was very clean and unobtrusive. They did not require a lot of additional instruction on what I wanted after my initial meeting with Maor. He communicated my wishes very well and I am so happy with the results. If you are getting bids for any type of remodeling, you should really sit down and have a talk with Maor. He is very honest and straight forward. He does not make promises that he can't keep and he does not try to sell you additional work that you don't need. By Joseph M. May 5, 2016 Room Addition $300,000 120 Days Maor and Greenberg Construction team just finished 800sqft addition for us and I felt compelled to write a review. A lot of times, people only write reviews for bad service or work that was poorly done, so I thought I'd take the time to recognize some excellent work. I was beyond impressed with Maor Greenberg. After we had a lot of trouble with another contractor doing our kitchen, we knew we had to find someone different. We had at least 4 different contractors come over to check out the job and give us quotes. Maor price was at the middle. But he really worked with us to get it within our budget. With a baby on the way and limited funds, his flexibility was MUCH appreciated. Not one of the other contractors was willing to work with us in that way.

Firstly, I can't recommend Maor highly enough for any level of remodeling or renovation jobs you may be doing. We recently used Greenberg Construction to remodel the kitchen, bathroom and a large portion of the living area in our home and have been delighted with the both the process and the results. Having worked in real estate/property development, I have worked with a number of other contractors and know when I'm working with someone who knows their business and takes genuine pride in the quality of the work they're doing- and that certainly describes Maor and his team. Although I was pretty sure I wanted to use Greenberg Construction based on a friend's recommendation, I wanted to get bids from other renovation contractors for our remodel just to be thorough. When compared with the other bids, I was very impressed with Maor pricing and the level of detail outlined in his bid. Another big factor for me in choosing the right contractor was the lead time involved for the renovation. Most of the other contractors couldn't work within our time constraints- which was to have all of the remodeling completed in six weeks. We knew it would be tight but Maor absolutely pulled through for us. Read more By Benjamin C. November 20, 2015 Bathroom Remodel $45,000 80 Days Great experience We hired Maor to remodel our master bathroom. This was our first construction project, and Maor made it a great one. Maor is generous with his time, and made himself available at all hours of the day to answer questions and alleviate concerns we had. He would check in everyday to let us know what would be happening that day, and would let us know immediately if there was an issue. He's detail oriented, deeply experienced in construction, and committed to customer satisfaction. There were days where he'd spend hours going to various stores looking for the exact part he'd need for part of our project. His crew was conscientious and kept our place clean while they were working on our bathroom. Overall we were really happy with the outcome of our project, and it was a pleasure working with Maor.

By Jack P. June 3, 2015 Addition + Remodel $450,000 90 Days Number One I would highly recommend Greenberg Construction. Their work is excellent. Ron adheres to his bid and gets the job done on time. He is always a pleasure to work with. By Adam A. June 2, 2015 $50,000 30 Days After a horrible contractor experience, Maor kindly agreed to take over my renovation project. (He says he usually doesn't do that, but maybe my being close to tears changed his mind?) Luigi, Joey and sometime a third worker would come over on time on the scheduled days and work all day. They were precise, detailed, and really pleasant to have around. They were pretty shocked by the shoddy workmanship my other contractor left behind, but they figured out how to fix everything up, including plumbing, doors, trim, and kitchen panels. They asked a lot of questions about what exactly we would prefer, and cleaned up after themselves. Now that they are finished, I am SO incredibly happy with my apartment. And the whole process was professional, including email communication and billing. I would recommend them to anyone! By Anonymous May 4, 2015 By Addis A. April 21, 2015 Foundation, Kitchen Remodel, Bathrooms $110,000 60 Days The Best!!! I am so impressed with Maor and Greenberg Construction Team My wife and I recently purchased a 1925 Spanish home in Los Gatos. During the home inspection it was brought to our attention that the home was not secured to the foundation; it wasn't required way back then. We obviously want to protect our investment so we reached out to several contractors to bid the project. By far Maor was the most customer focused; he showed up on time, was incredibly knowledgeable about the process, explained the project, and then followed up on his bid. When the project started Greenberg team showed up on time, kept the worksite clean, and...hold your breath...drumroll please...finished on time. Yep, you read that right, a contractor who finished on time. The Los Gatos city inspector signed off first visit and the project was closed. The entire process was painless and Maor did a great job and because we where so happy with there work we went forward with Maor by let him remodel our kitchen and 2 bathroom lake before the work was done A++++ quality and finishing on time inside the budget. I highly recommend Greenberg Construction for any construction project!!! By Anonymous April 18, 2015 Home Remodeling $75,000 30 Days I hired Greenberg Construction to remodel my home and garage and it turned out just beautiful! The handscraped hardwood floors and the exotic stone throughout my kitchen is a showstopper! Our Jacuzzi tub and master bathroom are twice as big as they were before. Mr. Greenberg even coated our garage floor where we keep the toys with an epoxy finish where our kids can even play on. But the best feature of all is the hand picked slate roof that consists of many neat colors! Thank you Greenberg Construction for a fine job on our home. By Ron S. February 2, 2015 kitchen remodel We had our old, original to the house kitchen, remodeled about 3 months ago. Greenberg Construction came in and removed a wall to open up the space, re-did all the plumbing and electrical work, then installed new flooring, cabinets, countertops, windows, etc. Mr. Greenberg is a very very friendly and professional man. He listened to what we wanted and made many changes throughout the process for us without complaining. I would definitely hire him and his crew again. By Ro C. February 2, 2015 in-law addition We had Greenberg Construction add a 700sqft in-law unit to our house approx. a year ago. We’re extremely happy with the service they provided. Greenberg Construction met all of the deadlines and stayed within the original budget. The quality of the materials used is great. Everything still looks brand new. The crew is very professional and nice; they make you feel like they care about the project and you as a person. They followed up very quickly and answered any and all questions we had.

How much do architectural plans cost for a small project (rebuilding a commercial exit stairway)? A: Price range goes from 8 - 15k if an engineer is needed, 3 - 8k without engineer. But because you're from SF, the price can jump even more. Q: What can I do as a homeowner to make sure my remodeling project is successful? What can I do as a homeowner to make sure my remodeling project is successful? A: Plan Ahead Making product selections early can prevent delays later. Proper planning can also help keep you on budget. Remember the Big Picture Long-term-maintenance, energy-loss, and repair expenses can add up quickly. Make sure you include them in your calculations when comparing prices. Find Good Help Hire remodelers who have more than three years of experience, membership in the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), a good record with the Better Business Bureau, and positive customer references. Most important, select a remodeler you trust. Visit a Job Site When evaluating remodelers, make sure you visit their current job sites. The best remodelers maintain clean and organized work sites, take precautionary measures to ensure safety, and know how to keep a low profile in a neighborhood. Be a Good Boss The most important thing you can do during a remodeling project, other than write checks, is treat your remodeler well. If you jump into a remodeling project with an ambiguous contract or no contract at all, you may as well hire an attorney and set a court date right away. Know What You’re Getting Into Sure, remodeling is exciting. But there's also a lot of frustration as you encounter unexpected snags, delays, and the inevitable inconveniences that come from living in a construction zone. You'll handle the lows better if you know they're coming. A reputable remodeler will condition your expectations before a project begins. Pitch a Temporary Camp Speaking of lows, it can't get much worse than living without a kitchen for weeks on end. Minimize inconvenience by setting up a temporary one away from the construction area. Include a refrigerator and microwave oven, so you can continue to make light meals at home. Pack Away Your Valuables Communicate Effectively Remodelers can do some amazing things, but they can't read minds. "Let the company supervisor or project lead person know if anything is unsatisfactory so they can deal with the issue," says Jeff Hurst, a Certified Remodeler (CR) and president of Hurst Total Home, Inc., in Kettering, Ohio. "The contractor may not be aware that something is not OK with the owner." Design Ideas When it comes to remodeling, there's no shortage of great design advice. On the next slides, several remodelers weigh in on how to make the most of your space. Pamper Yourself Unless you're a fan of luxuriating in a bath on a regular basis, skip the whirlpool tub. If you have no time for a bath, think about spending your remodeling dollars on something you'll use and notice every day, such as a luxury shower with dual heads.

A: I am not sure about Pennsylvania, but in CA the LAW is 10% but not more than 1000$ https://www.g-reenberg.com Q: What are some problems you may face with your air duct system? What are some problems you may face with your air duct system? A: One of the most important aspects of a HVAC maintenance routine is air duct cleaning. It is also something that homeowners need to perform regularly. When you wish to regulate the temperature of your room, cooled or heated air must first pass through the air ducts. Unfortunately, not all homeowners know how to deal with air duct problems. Hence, here are some of the most common air duct issues you need to know and how you can solve them. Inefficient air ducts The energy efficiency in your home can drop significantly if there is a poor insulation of air ducts. During summer months, cool air in the ducts should be able to absorb the surrounding heat energy as it travels to a certain destination. Additionally, heated air could lose some of its energy, as it is being transported through the ducts during winter. If you wish to increase the efficiency of the air ducts, you should consider insulating your air ducts in a proper manner and maintain their cleanliness. Loose air ducts If certain connections within the ductwork become misaligned, loose or not properly sealed, air can leak and escape. Hence, you should take the necessary measures to ensure that they are properly sealed at the registers and grills to mitigate the risks of air leakages. Air leakage can cause major energy losses, and can even allow other hazardous gases to enter the HVAC system. You should keep an eye out for peculiar room temperature fluctuations or high energy bills as these can tell-tale signs of an air leakage. Inferior designs If the HVAC system possesses a poor design, it can lead to major inefficiencies. For instance, a system that is too big can cause homeowners to suffer significant energy losses. If the system is too small, it will be forced to operate at a harsher rate to control the temperatures around your home. it is pertinent that you hire certified HVAC specialists to perform air duct cleaning service and to design and install HVAC systems. Unclean air ducts Air filters can be found in your HVAC system and are used to remove impurities from your air supply system. If gaps are found in the ductwork, impurities can get sucked into it. This means that you will eventually find impurities such as cobwebs, dead insects, carpet fibers, dust and pollen inside the air ducts. This might compromise your indoor air quality. Interrupted air flow The delivery of air-conditioned air will be affected if the air flow in the ductwork gets restricted. As a result, the HVAC system will work increasingly harder and you may face regular breakdowns, increased energy bills as well as reduced lifespan of the HVAC system. Some of the top causes of restricted air flow include crushed, kinked, torn and twisted air ducts. It is imperative that you allow professionals to install your ductwork – whether you are doing it for your home or an office. You are also recommended to inform your contractors about steering clear of your ductwork before commencing projects such as electrical work or roofing works.

How to prep walls for painting after removing wall paper? A: 1. Dilute 5 ounces of wallpaper stripper in 1 gallon of water. Fill a pump sprayer with the mixture. Spray the walls with the mixture. Scrape any residue and wallpaper scraps off the walls with a wide scraper knife. 2. Empty the pump sprayer and refill it with clean water. Spray the walls again to rinse them. Wipe the surface with a wet sponge to remove any remaining residue. Allow the walls to dry for one to two days. 3. Sand the walls with a sanding block wrapped in 120-grit sandpaper. Apply a coat of oil-based paint to the walls using a roller. The oil-based paint acts as a sealant to lock in any grease spots, stains or water-based adhesive so they don't seep through later to interfere with the paint job. Allow the paint to dry. 4. Examine the walls for loose or flaking bits of paint. If you find any, sand them off. Repaint the areas with the oil-based paint and a paintbrush. 5.Fill any small holes, dents or cracks in the surface with joint compound. Apply compound to the holes with a putty knife, then use the knife to scrape off the excess. When the joint compound is dry, you are ready to paint the walls.

A: DO IT YOURSELF If you have a garage, then you might want to create a little bit of attic storage above it. The biggest problem with these types of spaces is load capacity. If the trusses of your garage roof cannot support an attic, you will find that holes will develop in the ceiling of the garage. However, if the load capacity is large, then you will be able to support an attic storage space. Step 1 - Assess Your Garage: Before you can start any serious work on your garage, you will need to assess the weight capacity of your garage roof. First, get the plans for your building, preferably the blueprints. The blueprints will show exactly how many trusses your garage roof has, and in what position. This will tell you if there is enough support there to create an attic in the space above the garage ceiling. You should also check building regulations for your surrounding area. You may be able to add extra trusses to the garage in order to secure the attic properly. Step 2 - Create an Attic: The next step is to create the attic. The first thing you need is access to the attic. Using the measurements from your loft ladder kit, you should cut a square out of your garage roof. This will give you access to your attic storage. Then, you can add the attic hatch frame kit. This will allow you to secure the opening so that you have stairs. These pieces can easily be installed by following the instructions on the boxes, and using some tool such as a hammer and a drill. When you have finished installing the attic ladder and hatch, you will be easily able to walk up and down the ladder to complete the storage space creation. Step 3 - Create a Storage Space: Take the floorboards and place them over the floor joists in the attic. Only cover the areas where you wish to store items. Place one floorboard into position, and nail it into place. You should then line up the following board against it. It is possible to purchase kits which will allow you to create floorboards, but you can also do this by using some simple plywood sheets and a few nails. The most important part of installing the floorboards is making sure that the first one is fitted correctly, with the wood straight, and laying evenly between the joists. Once you have fitted the floorboards, organize the garage storage space. You will need to add proper ventilation in this part of the attic in order to stop mold, which can include vents, such as soffit vents, and also attic fans to keep the air moving.

A: Referrals and word of mouth are still the best ways to track down a reputable bathroom remodeling contractor. When the renovations are done on a professional level, and the customers are happy, this is how service industry businesses grow and prosper. So, if your neighbor, friend, coworker or family member was satisfied with a recent remodeling job, ask them for the service contractor's contact information so that you can get in touch to get an estimate. Choose a remodeling contractor who has established a good reputation and solid work experience. Hiring a new company that you know nothing about can be risky, especially if it's unable to give you references from previous clients. When you've narrowed down your choices, contact several remodeling contractors, and arrange for them to come to your home to give you written estimates. Make sure that the contractor is licensed, insured and offers a guarantee on his or her work. Q: What is the color trend for 2015? What is the color trend for 2015?
