About
We are a fully licensed and bonded company, but most importantly, we are a company that cares about your home as much as you do. With a combined over 40 years of experience and hundreds of kitchen and full home remodels/redesigns, we offer a high quality experience and every project receives an assigned designer. Please see our FAQ section for pricing guidance.
Home improvement is a passion. We’ve assembled a team that truly knows the satisfaction of maximizing the potential in a space. Whether you’re updating your kitchen design or adding a bathroom to your home, 5blox becomes fully invested in any project that comes across our drawing board. We specialize in whole home remodels or home redesigns, kitchen remodels and kitchen redesigns as well as bathroom remodels.
Before we were 5blox, we gained our fair share of experience working for some of the largest companies in the home improvement industry. While there was a lot to learn about home remodels including kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels and everything in between, we became disoriented by the pushy sales tactics and poor customer service employed within the industry. Intuition taught us to believe in the value of communication and cooperation when creating a client’s vision. When it became clear that the rest of the industry didn’t agree with us, we decided to try things our own way. Five years later, we have yet to regret that choice, and we think our clients would agree.

When I first reached out to Smart Homes, I received a phone call from Josh in a span of a couple of hours. He was friendly, upbeat and easy to talk to; all signs you want to see when establishing contact with a general contractor company.
The following day, I met one of his colleagues, Gal, who happened to stop by my property to go over some of the projects I was interested in pursuing. Gal was exceptionally professional but also very personable. He talked at length about his process and shared advice on how to approach the renovations. The conversation felt smooth, easy and most importantly, collaborative.
Obviously, as a layperson, I have no clue on how renovations/construction works. I just have an idea on what I want the final product to look like. That said, Gal does a great job of bridging his expertise and experience with what you want without condescending to you; a story that I have heard all too often from other friends with their contractors. I was quite impressed at the length of time he spent with me. He showed me photos from several projects from several stages to help me conceptualize how my project would unfold. Not once did our meeting ever feel rushed nor did I get the feeling that he was too busy to answer my questions.
What really struck me the most was the fact that he was very upfront about how communication and respect was very important to him; that it’s incumbent for both parties (homeowner and contractor) to be able to work with one another in a professional manner. Gal made it clear that it doesn’t matter how much money is being offered to him to do a project. If you’re the type of person who is going to micromanage and create an environment that makes it difficult for him and his crew to do their job effectively, it’s not worth it to him.
The point being, Gal made it clear that Smart Homes is based off of building relationships and selectively choosing projects that are a good fit for his team and of course, the homeowner. He’s not going to take a project for the sake of taking a project because of the money. I respect that as it is a core trait I look for in a contractor.
My wife and I ended up moving in a different direction with our interior renovation. However, we’ve got an ADU project lined up in the near future. Given this company’s experience and expertise with ADU construction, we absolutely intend on reaching out to Smart Homes to potentially help us build this unit!
Thanks Josh and Gal for a positive experience. I am sorry that we were unable to work together on this particular project but I am hopeful that perhaps we can collaborate on the bigger ADU project.

Very pleased with the quick response and on time meeting with Eden. He was helpful in figuring out the floor plan and took my son to a work in progress. (Helping my son with this project because of time restrictions). When he went to the store to pick out showerheads Eden was on the phone tutoring him on what type to buy. Very pleased so far. Here is a pic of old bathroom. New one to follow soon.

I am impressed how Smart Homes nailed my unrealistic expectations of finishing the job in such a short time. I contacted them on Monday afternoon, Ben met me a few hours later, the crew started early next day and was done on Thursday! The project included room walls, ceilings, baseboards, doors and trim at a 2000 sq ft condo. The finish is smooth and even.
Details: Home • 8+ rooms • Walls • Trim • Ceiling • Window frames • Doors • 8 - 10 feet • Repainting - color change • Repainting - same color • Fair - minor holes and scratches • No, this is not new construction • No, I will move things out of the way myself

The team at 5blox is phenomenal. They did an amazing job on my bathroom renovation. Quality, professionalism, and communication all come to mind with this team. From day one they are about the customer. Everyone on the crew, not just the project managers. They are detailed oriented and put in a lot of effort to give the customer what they want. A true rare find in this industry. I had such a great experience I’m not starting bathroom two with future plans for kitchen and flooring remodeling to come. Thanks again team!

My wife and I recently wanted to redo our kitchen as it was a bit outdated. We went through Thumbtack and found Eden and his crew. They quoted us a time in which they would have everything completed by and accomplished it (which I hear is rare). They also quoted a reasonable price and ensured everything would be up to standard. Eden made sure to keep us up to date on the project and let us know what was coming down the pipeline. Furthermore, his team was great in ensuring that everything was always cleaned and organized. They also made sure we were happy with everything each day.

We explain every step of the work to be done and make sure it incorporates everything you're looking for.
We work with you throughout the process to make sure, not just the outcome is as expected, but that the process is smooth and seamless for you and your family.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
We founded 5blox because we were tired of seeing customers get burnt out by poor customer service and companies not making a point to include the customer in the process.
When I remodel my own home, I want to know whats happening and when. I want to understand the reasoning behind it and I want to have decision making power over it.
If that is what I feel I deserve when remodeling my home, then that is exactly what my customers deserve as well.
