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 Build’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.

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 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 a realtor for several years and have worked with Shay for the past 8 years.
He is a good contractor but
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 couldn’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 in my line of work, and Shay and We Remodel and Build stands above the rest.
The joy I get from seeing so many people and families overjoyed and ecstatic with the look and quality of their remodeled homes is amazing.
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 don’t hesitate to reach out to Shay at We Remodel and Build Home Remodeling for any project you may need, big or small.
