Eli made my dream a reality. He was able to listen to what we were looking for a made our home oasis a reality. His crew was always on time and respectful. If we had questions or wanted something done differently Eli always listened and ensured their work was exactly what we wanted, with quality excellence. What is unique about Eli is his personal commitment ... he treated us like family and our home like his own. Eli and his team is our GO TO whenever we have projects for ourselves .. friends ... and family. Eli !!! Thank you for making our dreams come true. 🤗

Thank You, Eli, Armando, and crew, for completing the construction and remodeling of the garage space for a game room, bathroom with toilet, shower and sink, and a wet bar. Your work is outstanding and your contract services were both fair and affordable for me as a first-time homeowner. This was not an easy project and required additional unexpected improvements as required by the Daly City Construction Permit Codes. My house belonged to my Grandma and there were many required changes before the construction was completed: pipe and sewer improvements, earthquake-seismic foundation enforcements, structural improvements, reconfiguring the garage door for code compliance, and other issues. This project started in 2018 and has just completed final inspection from the City of Daly City, I owe a debt of gratitude to GMBC for their patience and professionalism. Throughout this process, GMBC would communicate and discuss additional costs before he did anything. Eli gave me the assurance that everything will be worked out and in compliance with the City of Daly City. He was right and I am so grateful. I would hire GMBC Construction in a heartbeat. Thank you, Eli, Armando, and crew.

We hired GMBC to remodel our kitchen, 2 bathrooms and a master closet. We interviewed 6 other contractors before we chose GMBC. What sold us was how easy it was to talk to Eli. He was always open to our ideas and also offered his input without being too pushy. After we chose GMBC, Eli drafted a statement of work that broke down the job according to room. After a couple of adjustments, we were ready to begin. Although the end result was fantastic, getting there was a bit tough at times. Like most renovations, we experienced a number of delays and setbacks. We were told the job would take 6-8 weeks but it actually took 4 months. A lot of the directions or requests we were giving to Eli weren't being communicated to the crews, so things wouldn't be done correctly and had to be redone. Sometimes they would need items that weren't communicated to us until we checked in asking why something wasn't done as scheduled. Inspections took a few rounds that dragged on for over a month. Some of the delays may have been our fault - we probably could've made things easier by hiring an architect to draw up detailed plans of everything; locations of outlets, lights, switches, fixtures, etc. But for the most part, the biggest issue seems to be a lack of communication/project management. GMBC uses different teams of people to do specific jobs and sometimes we felt they weren't on the same page. Fortunately, we happened to be living downstairs during the remodeling, which allowed us to survey the work at the end of each day and catch certain things before they went too far in the wrong direction. Not sure how much more difficult it would've been if we hadn't been there. Also, we had mentioned to Eli this was our first remodel so advice and communication was pretty key for us since we had no idea what was expected. That said, Eli and his crew were always courteous, positive, and obliged to make corrections whenever requested; a huge plus. The foreman, Armando, was great. When he was onsite, things always went smoothly. Their tiler was exceptional as well. He went above and beyond with some complicated tiles, and did an incredible job. We get so many compliments on our tile work. All in all, we couldn't be happier with the results. The quality of work is great and our home looks amazing. Everybody came together to make our vision a reality.

Let me just start off that my wife and I are very happy with the end result. Our condo now looks great and functional; just the way we want it. Eli's crew did a great job renovating our condo. I can't say the same about the process though. Many friends told me my experience is not unique. This is one of the hardest project I have done in my life. If I was asked to do it again, I probably would have said, "No." My wife and I slept in the condo during the renovation. They did the construction while we went to work. We had to live with the mess and dust for several months. The whole process tested our patience. Eli's crew were professional and easy to work with; although, there were some language barriers. I had a lot of help from his foreman, Armando Contreras. He was a great guy to work with; unfortunately, he did not work on my place all the time. He had several projects at once. When we do have him, it seems nothing can go wrong. Armando will make sure everything we want is what gets installed. It's when he's not around where some things were done incorrectly. They were corrected, but the corrections took some time. They were all professionally done. We expected the project to take 3 months, but the whole thing took over 6 months. There were mistakes, miscommunication, and having to wait for inspection. Again, we are happy with the overall result. What I would have differently is to not stay in the condo during construction. If I could afford it, I would have hired my designer to run the project. There were many times I was called to make decision on the design, even though they are on the floor plan. This project took a lot of my time, money, and patience.

Project took FAR longer than estimated (estimated to take 2 months and took 5). I had to be the project manager both to keep things going and to ensure things were done correctly. A few things were still not done correctly. Work was generally ok but not up to the quality I would want for a total remodel and for the price. Do not hire.

GMBC Construction Inc.'s reply

Hi Adam, We finished your job almost 2 years ago. I’m confused as to why this is coming up now. It was a conversion of a basement into a living space and a 4 month job minimum. I’m not sure where 2 months came from. We finished the job on time and on your budget. I’m not sure where all this is coming from so long later. Feel free to contact us if something comes up and you need our assistance.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing varies based on size of the project and what materials are wanted. We sit with you and go through everything and make sure that everyone is happy and satisfied with the pricing.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We come out to a potential client's home to give a completely free estimate and get to know each other while we are talking about the work and price. Once we get to know each other and establish that we will work well together, we then go on to signing a contract that makes both us and the customer equally happy. Then the job gets started and finished nice and quickly, all the while making sure the customer is satisfied as the job is being completed!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been working in this field for over 10 years in many different parts of the country and have now settled in the Bay Area with my own company and cannot think of anything better to be doing then construction! It is a wonderful feeling when a job is completed and the customer is extremely satisfied with what has just been done to their home.
