Ofir and Gilad came up through the construction trades before starting a company of their own. In 2015 they moved to the Bay Area, earned a California general contractor license, and opened Bay Builders & Remodeling in San Jose, where the Charcot Avenue office is open to anyone who wants to stop by.
Gilad runs the business as its owner, and homeowners keep naming the crew in their reviews: project manager Tomer and leads like Carlos, Jose, and Aviv. Clients work with the same people from the quote to the final walk-through.
The work spans kitchens, baths, whole-home remodels, additions, and ground-up custom homes, with experience in energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and fire-resistant construction. You can judge the results yourself on the projects page, or fly through a rendered home on the scroll-through walkthrough.
CSLB #1012789, an active B-class General Building license. Around it: Best of Houzz 2026, a 2024 Nextdoor Neighborhood Faves badge, HomeAdvisor's Elite Service mark, and 5-star reviews across Google, Yelp, and Houzz.
Design, permits, construction, and finish stay in-house, with a dedicated project manager from start to end. Here's the whole thing, in order.
Call or write. The office schedules your complimentary, no-obligation design-build consultation.
A project manager covers what's possible, what it costs, and what your city requires.
A written proposal with cost and timeline, in plain language. Permit fees are billed separately, and we say so up front.
Photorealistic 3D renderings within hours, revised until you approve every detail.
We complete the application and pull the building permit before demo day.
Demo through finish work with one dedicated PM, regular updates, and DocuSign change orders, nothing verbal, nothing vague.
On time, on budget, backed by our workmanship warranty. If something comes up after, we come back.
Bay Builders came highly recommended by our agent and turned out to be one of the best teams we have worked with. They have worked on so many large projects, nothing would seem difficult for them to build or implement.
The number you sign is the number you pay. Scope changes and hidden problems like wood rot or structural damage are the only exceptions, and both go through itemized DocuSign change orders.
We fill out the application and pull the permit ourselves before demo day, so your project doesn't stall at the city counter.
Photorealistic renderings in a matter of hours, revised without limit until you approve. Renderings are revised without limit until you approve, before any demo begins.
There's no showroom nudging you toward one supplier's catalog. We shop for fixtures and materials with you, wherever you want to look.
One more thing worth knowing: we turn down repairs, insurance work, permit remediations, and small jobs. That keeps the calendar clear for whole-home remodels, room additions, and custom builds that need a full crew. More straight answers live on the FAQs page.
Some contractors nod at whatever you sketch, price it, and build it without a word. That's transcription, not collaboration. Walk us through your vision and we answer like builders: which wall move actually earns its cost, which finish still looks right in ten years, where the same money does more.
It runs both directions. You bring the how-you-live details; we bring what a decade of taking Bay Area houses down to the studs has taught us, whether the question is a bathroom where the plumbing wants to move, or a backyard where the structure has to shrug off twenty winters.
They had some great ideas and would tell us whether ours were worth it from a timing and money standpoint.
Homeowners keep naming the same crew members in their reviews. These are the reviewers' own words, from Google, Yelp, and Houzz.
Carlos and Jose were true artists when it came to design and execution. I never expected to see such a high level of perfectionism from contractors. We are beyond thrilled with our new spaces.
Bay builders did an awesome job remodeling my kitchen. Aviv and Gilad were very attentive to my requests and the small details. Very high-quality work and service.
You have to call them!! One of the bay area's best kept secrets. This group was wonderful to work with, and our project manager Tomer was/is a complete rock star!
From the ease of scheduling the initial appointment to the final walk through, each step of the way exceeded our expectations!!
Extremely helpful in guiding us through the entire process. My husband and I highly recommend Bay Builders based on their excellent communication & outstanding craftsmanship.
They are honest, skilled, respectful, timely, communicate well, reasonably-priced, and professional. They make dreams happen!
There are more where those came from. The company keeps public profiles on Houzz, Yelp, Google, Facebook, and Instagram, so read as many as you like before you pick up the phone.
