We contracted with A2Z Remodeling to complete the unfinished first floor of our house. We added 800 sqft of living spaces: 1 primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom, a half bath, a large family room, and a brand new large staircase connecting the 2 floors. We also had to relocate and upgrade the electrical panel, do a foundation earthquake retrofit, add skylights to our existing bathroom, finish our 400 sqft garage, remove a load-bearing wall, and update the entire HVAC system throughout the 2 floors.
It was important for us to find a contractor who had many years of experience and worked on similar projects. We didn't want a company that would be figuring things out along the way. We interviewed about 6 different contractors and architects. A2Z stood out from the get-go. Dor was really responsive and punctual. He walked us through other previous projects they completed and, within a few days, he provided a comprehensive and itemized quote. After a few back and forth, we signed.
We then started to work with their architect and their structural engineer to finalize the plans. It took a few months before everything got approved due to the city of SF but Dor always kept us updated throughout the process.
Dror took over the project at the start of the build phase. We were able to live in our house throughout the entire project which was a huge plus for us. The crew showed up every single day, always on time, and they always showed a ton of respect and care. They always asked and gave appropriate heads-up time before shutting down the power or the water. And they always made sure to keep the job site secure and safe. It is was more than appreciated as our daughter turned 3 year old during the project.
Omar was the foreman on the job. He has been so amazing throughout the entire project. He was kind, professional and very talented. You can really see that he and the rest of the crew care a lot about making sure the client is always satisfied.
It was our first time going through such a big project and there were a ton of decisions that we had to make. Dror and Omar always took the time to explain/show our options and helped us make the best decision. They never tried to rush us through the process.
If you are reading this review and wondering if A2Z Remodeling might be right for you, don't hesitate, and contact Dror. We were definitely on the demanding side as clients and had a lot of expectations -- Dror, Omar, and the rest of the crew delivered way past them. We couldn't have been happier with the results! We recommend A2Z without hesitation!
