About
We're Be Free Developments, a licensed general contractor (CA #1141804) based in Sunnyvale. Our IICRC-certified water damage (WRT) and mold (MLD) technicians handle leaks, floods and mold from the first inspection through drying, removal and repairs. And because we're also builders, we can rebuild and remodel whatever was damaged. One team, start to finish.
We work directly with insurance companies and adjusters, and everyone on our team has more than 10 years of experience in the trade. For homeowners, that means one contractor for cleanup, repairs and upgrades. For investors and flippers, it means one call from damage to demo to a finished, market-ready property.
Our motto is "Power in the Pillars": a solid foundation, a dedicated team, and work we stand behind with a one-year workmanship warranty. Most customers hear from us within minutes, and Bar, our owner, usually comes out within a day to look at the job in person.

Really loved the experience with Be Free Development. They were professional, came on time, did the inspection and told me exactly what can be done without upselling or providing costly quotes. They also gave me contacts and remediation steps I could take without spending a lot of money. They were honest, helpful and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them for your home

Had a great experience from the time I have posted the task on Thumbtack. Promptly came on time, gave me a quote, and gave me the rundown of the process and timelines. He provided photos and videos while working on the project and was able to arrange a plumber as a new leak was found. Overall had a great experience with Bar and his team on this cleanup and restoration project.

After submitting my request in the Thumbtack app, I got a call from Be Free Developments in 15 minutes. The next day, Bar came to my home to do a walkthrough prior to submitting an estimate.
Bar was punctual, engaging, knowledgeable, sympathetic to our situation, had great questions, and walked me through all available options. His expertise was evident.
The estimate was turned around in 2 days, and my requested changes were turned around one day later.
Unfortunately, my original issue was misdiagnosed by another vendor, and we suspected a foundation issue instead of a subfloor issue. The owner that did the foundation work referred me to a contractor he works with, and agreed to cover a portion of the cost if I selected that contractor. This was a nice gesture, but that cut in price made it impossible for Be Free Developments to be cost competitive.
Under normal circumstances, I would have happily hired Be Free, and would have been confident going into the project.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bar and Be Free, and will be sure to reach out to them when my next project comes around.

We recently completed a bathroom remodel in Redwood City with Be Free Developments, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish.
From the initial consultation, their team was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, offered thoughtful design suggestions, and were transparent about pricing and timelines.
The craftsmanship is outstanding. Every detail — from the tile work to the fixtures and finishes — was executed with precision and care. The space feels modern, functional, and beautifully designed. You can truly see the quality in the work.
What stood out most was their communication and reliability. The project stayed on schedule, the team showed up consistently, and they kept everything clean and organized throughout the process.
If you’re considering a bathroom remodel in Redwood City, I highly recommend Be Free Developments. They deliver quality, professionalism, and results that speak for themselves. We couldn’t be happier with our new bathroom!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every job starts with a free on-site estimate, and you get a written, itemized quote before any work begins. Water damage and mold jobs have no minimum; remodeling projects start at $15,000. On mold jobs we quote removal and repairs separately, because we often can't see how much needs rebuilding until the damaged material is out. We'll explain that up front. If you need us after hours, we'll tell you the emergency rate before we come out. Our work is covered by a one-year workmanship warranty.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We call you back fast, usually within minutes during business hours, and can often come out the next day. Bar or a project manager looks at the job, explains what's going on and what your options are, and sends a written estimate, usually within a couple of days. Once you approve, we schedule the work and send photos and updates as we go.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our technicians are IICRC-certified in Water Damage Restoration (WRT) and Mold Remediation (MLD), and we hold a California B General Building Contractor license (#1141804). Everyone on our team has more than 10 years of hands-on experience. We also prepare Xactimate estimates for insurance claims.
