We just finished up a 3 month project with Bay Builders on a major transformation of the sunroom, kitchen, living room and dining room (and some other smaller items) and we could not be happier with the results. We recently moved into the home and had a vision in mind for what we wanted. Ofir, Rene and the rest of the Bay Builders team turned that dream into a reality and then some! First, the project was not easy as the home was a bit older and there were some structural changes that needed to be done. Ofir and Rene were communicative with the change orders (including some key recommendations like changing the flooring in the sunroom and upgrading the electrical panel to code) and very fair with pricing. We had a fixed budget initially and managed to stay within those bounds. In addition, the timelines matched expectations set from the initial project proposal (even with some unforeseen changes with the electrical panel upgrade). Rene and his team were quick, thorough, clean and extremely professional. My wife and I are thrilled we partnered with Bay Builders on this project, and would highly recommend them and work with them again in the future.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure working with you and your wife on such a meaningful transformation. Projects like this — where a family has a real vision for their home — are exactly why we love what we do. Rene and the team will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We're so glad we could deliver on both the quality and the budget, and we look forward to working with you again whenever the next project comes along. Welcome home!

We loved working with Bay Builders for our kitchen and living room remodel. Our project manager was Ido and he and his crew were so sweet and polite. They listened extremely well and were very responsive, were very thoughtful with their suggestions and everything was wrapped up extremely quickly. We got multiple other bids and found their pricing to be very reasonable too. We have zero complaints and would definitely work with them again.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate you trusting me and the Bay Builders team with your home. Projects like this—especially in older homes—can come with challenges, and I’m glad our communication and recommendations helped keep things smooth and on budget. Rene and the crew did a great job, and I’ll be sure to pass this along to them. It was a pleasure working with you, and I’d be happy to work together again anytime.

New Year's Update (2026) We are delighted to have hired Bay Builders for the third time based on their OUTSTANDING work (see below for earlier reviews) to repair the front facade of our home and to make many additional interior improvements. Once again, we were thrilled not only with the results but with the above-and-beyond-excellent follow up from Gilad Baron (owner) and Yonitan (Yoni) Ashkenazi (who managed this latest project) well after the project finished. Yoni led the team efficiently and they finished, amazingly, ahead of schedule and exactly on budget. In addition, Yoni took the initiative to drive an extra hour out of his way--on a holiday --to come in person to help us fix a totally unrelated urgent smoke alarm issue. I can't say enough how great Bay Builders has been to work with. If you need to entrust your home project to a professional contractor, this is the team you want! Bay Builders, under the extraordinary leadership of Gilad Baron, provides not only exceptional quality and but truly wonderful and lasting customer service.

We recently completed a major renovation with Bay Builders -- a full bathroom addition, new closet/office, updated bedroom flooring, painting, and several structural changes -- and we couldn't be happier with the results. The quality of the work is excellent, and the entire project has truly transformed our home. The biggest highlight of our experience was working with René, our foreman. René is an exceptional communicator, deeply knowledgeable, and always proactive. Whenever questions came up or decisions needed to be made, he explained everything clearly and helped us feel confident at every step. Even when there were a few challenges behind the scenes with the back office, René consistently stepped in, found solutions that worked for us, and kept the project moving smoothly. His leadership made the entire process feel seamless. We also want to recognize José, who stood out through his craftsmanship, precision, and friendly professionalism. He brought so much care to the details that really make a renovation feel finished and high-quality. Additionally, the tile team did incredible work -- their precision and attention to detail elevated the entire bathroom and gave it a next-level, spa-like feel. We love our new bathroom, closet/office, and bedroom updates. The space feels brighter, more functional, and thoughtfully designed. Most importantly, we genuinely felt supported throughout the project. We highly recommend Bay Builders -- especially with René overseeing the work. His dedication, communication, and problem-solving made all the difference. Thank you again to the entire team for helping us bring our vision to life.

We recently completed a full home renovation with Bay Builders, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, the team approached our project with care, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm. They took the time to really understand how we live and what we were hoping to achieve, then translated that into a thoughtful design and execution plan. Throughout the process, their communication was excellent. We always felt informed and supported, and any questions or changes were handled quickly and transparently. The quality of their work speaks for itself. Every detail, from flooring and cabinetry to lighting and finishes, was done with precision and pride. What impressed us most was how seamlessly they managed such a complex project. Renovating an entire house can be overwhelming, but they made it feel easy coordinating, everything from permits and inspections to the smallest finishing touches. Now that the renovation is complete, our home feels brand new yet still warm and personal. It truly reflects our style and the way we wanted to live. We get compliments from everyone who visits, and we can’t thank Gilad and team enough for bringing our vision to life. If you’re considering a major renovation, I can’t recommend Bay Builders highly enough. They deliver exceptional quality, honest communication, and a level of care that’s hard to find.

Could not be happier with the job that they did for us adding on a room to our home. The final product was beautiful, their communication was excellent, and the price was exactly what they said it would be. The whole team was very knowledgeable, and did a nice job guiding us through making the best decisions while also listening to our preferences. They even did a nice job working around the dog. A special shout out to Rene, who in addition to everything said above, is just a terrific guy.

We'll be sure to pass along your special shout-out to Rene; he truly is an asset to our team. Your satisfaction means a lot to us!

We had an excellent experience with Bay Builders on our home renovation and addition. Their workmanship and eye for detail were outstanding—everything from the finishes to the trim was completed with care and precision. Gilad and Rene, our project managers, were a pleasure to work with, always organized, communicative, and supportive throughout the process. The team kept the project moving quickly and smoothly, with no unnecessary delays. We truly appreciated their professionalism and efficiency. If we were to start over, we’d choose Bay Builders again, this time for the entire design-build process. Highly recommend their services!

We purchased our remodeled/new house from Bay Builders in 2019. While we were not involved in the build process, we are extremely happy with the quality of work and all the finishes that Gilad and team used. We loved the white oak beams they had installed in the living room ceiling, so we asked Gilad if they could replicate them in our master bedroom and office on the second floor. They matched the material perfectly and completed the work on time and on budget. Our teenage daughter has special needs and we needed to make some updates to her bathroom to accommodate her. We reached out to Gilad to do the work of removing the bench seat in her shower, fixing the tiles and replacing the shower door. Gilad's team once again completed the work on budget and actually ahead of schedule which minimized the disruption to our daughter. We are very satisfied customers!

The Construction and More team including Avihoo, Joseph, our foreman Christian and the entire team especially Angel and Jesus were simply amazing. We had a sizable renovation and were pleasantly surprised at the professionalism, workmanship, project management, budget management and every aspect of execution by the team. We changed our flooring , renovated a bathroom and living space and the team spared no effort to get every detail right and consistently went above and beyond. Not once did we hear or sense any kind of reluctance to meeting our many demands for adjustments, even changes. We felt like we got our money’s worth and concluded the project without feeling exhausted with it. Perhaps most importantly, the team acted with integrity all along and surely earned our trust and respect. For any of my friends who need a referral, I know exactly where to go!

"Bay Builders did a fantastic job on our master bedroom/partial bath remodel! They redid the floor, baseboards, ceiling with new lights and fan, installed a new sink vanity with new lights and cabinetry, repainted, and put in a new sliding door and closet shelving. Our project manager Ido was helpful and communicative from day one, clearly outlining our project, listening to our ideas and offering advice as well as some suggestions of his own , which were spot on. Throughout the build he communicated every day; the excellent work team of Angel, Jose, and Miguel came on time every single day, worked long and hard, and paid excellent attention to detail and cleanliness. They finished on time and on budget and were reliable, responsible, friendly, honest and professional--we LOVE everything about our new room and the process!

Meant to leave this review before but Tal and Baybuilders helped us renovate our bathrooms. We were first time home buyers and didn't know much about entire process. Tal was very helpful and guided us through the entire process. He was very honest and responsive. The entire crew was also very efficient and was very good at their jobs. They informed us of any design issues and worked with us to rectify it. They even worked with the city to get the permits resolved. Overall I highly recommend Tal and Baybuilders

I love Bay Builders! They just finished a MASSIVE remodel for me that turned out beautifully. 3 things: 1. Their prices are not the lowest, but they do what they say within the budget that they quote! Better than other contractors. 2. Gilad the owner and Rene the foreman on the job are serious professionals and know what they are doing 3. And here is the kicker: they executed the project in the time they said they would Because of their great work, I was inspired to add a lot of scope, and the cost and timelines were always what they said it would be. I can't imagine using a different contractor! The result is impeccable.

Bay Builders & Remodeling did a phenomenal job with renovating our kitchen. They were on time and actually finished 2 weeks early because of how efficient and organized Tal managed the project. The GC of the project Gilberto was a problem solver and no issue was left unsolved. Communication was great! Concerns were answered within minutes and questions in timely manner. Tal was patient, committed, and throughout the whole project kind and considerate. We highly recommend Bay Builders & Remodeling - we would use them again in a heartbeat.

We first heard about Bay Builders from a realtor friend who highly recommended them. We interviewed multiple contractors, all of whom had done nice work, but Bay Builders really stood out right from the beginning. During the proposal process, they came to the house a few times to ensure they captured the full scope of the project. Additionally, we wanted to see their quality of work so Gilad arranged a few site visits and connected us with past clients who all raved about Gilad and his team. It was clear that Bay Builders was the best choice for quality and speed. From the beginning of the process until the end, Bay Builders was exceptional to work with. We had a dedicated project manager, Tomar, who really helped communicate what was happening that week and managed the subs. More importantly, Tomar was such a pleasure to work with. He is very approachable, detailed and diligent. I've heard nightmare stories about other contractors being slow, hard to contact and missing deadlines, but Gilad and Tomar made the entire process stress free and enjoyable! They were great about keeping us informed about what was going on, what decisions needed to be made so that we could stay on schedule. If any issues arose, Gilad and Tomar would always come to the table with a solution and assure us that at the end of the day, they wanted to make sure we were happy. The quality of their work is outstanding and our project finished on time which is rarity given the complexity and change orders associated with our remodel! They have excellent communication skills, are very detail oriented and most importantly, have your best interest at heart. I would highly recommend them. Everyone who has seen the finished product is blown away by the transformation. We are so happy with how our home turned out.

We engaged Bay Builders after evaluating over 10 contractors. They have a clean CSLB record (you'll be surprised by what you find digging in the CSLB public records), a core team that has been working well together, reasonable pricing and excellent references. Compared to other firms, Ofir paid attention to the details of our project during the bidding process. The project involved a full remodel of the 4500 sq feet two storey house, gutting it to the studs. Our house had ample design details which required planning and thought -for example, we wanted frameless glass (no clips, embedded channels in the walls or floors that are not visible) and this required coordination between glass, hardwood floor, tile and drywall installers. Like all construction projects, we had issues with permit delays, unexpected code requirements resulting in change orders, unforeseen repairs (it was an old house up on a hill, after demolition, we realized there was significant water damage in the walls), mistakes and cost overruns. Our house is located in the Santa Cruz mountains, which meant manpower, logistical and weather challenges. We were able to rely on Gilad to resolve these issues in a timely and fair manner. We especially appreciated Rene Carcamo who was in charge of our project who has been an absolute joy to work with- he pours his heart into his work and treats the crew with respect and kindness. The work ethic of the team was excellent. We had full crews working on the house most days, and Rene was able to problem solve, improvise and keep the project moving along. We were pleased with most of the specialized subcontractors whom Bay Builders used. Given it was a remodel, Horacio's framing crew were able to figure out solutions to resolve various framing issues with our structural engineer. Juan Carlos did an excellent job with our hardwood floors and stairs thread- the hardwood stairs thread matched our engineered floor planks beautifully. Eric and his crew were meticulous with the tile work and Luis Bautista was very hands-on supervising his crew for the paint work. It's a home that we love and hope to enjoy for a long time and we are grateful that Bay Builders made it possible.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to have worked on your home and to be a part of such a meaningful transformation. It was a pleasure collaborating with you and your husband throughout the process — your shared attention to detail and clear design vision brought out the best in our team. We also really enjoyed the creative input from your brother, which added a unique and personal touch to the project.

Your home in the Santa Cruz mountains presented both exciting challenges and rewarding moments, and we're proud of how beautifully it turned out. We’re especially glad you appreciated the craftsmanship and dedication of the entire crew and our trusted subcontractors. It means a lot to us to know that the effort and care each person brought to the job made a positive impact.

We're honored to have earned your trust and are thrilled that you now have a home you love and will enjoy for years to come.
