OR Homes

I have had the pleasure of working with OpenRemodel on two distinct projects. The initial endeavor in 2020 involved a design-only project for a single-family house in East Bay, encompassing 2000 sqft of new additions and remodels. The subsequent project, located in the Peninsula, is a design-and-build project to expand an old house into a 2600-sqft stylish house through both new additions and remodels, with its building permit issued about one month ago. My experience with OpenRemodel has been very positive. Their commitment to delivering high-quality design work efficiently and promptly stands out. The team's responsiveness to my inquiries and requests underscores their professionalism and dedication to client satisfaction. Moreover, OpenRemodel consistently presents professional and varied options, empowering me to make informed decisions that align with my interests, including cost considerations, project timelines, and specific requirements. Overall, my experience with OpenRemodel have been very satisfactory, marked by their excellent service, adept design capabilities, and client-centered approach. Update on March 25,2024: I will start the construction with OpenRemodel on April 1st, 2024. I gave them the start date two weeks in advance and they are able to start on the date I requested. They said they could start the construction after 3 days of permit approval, which is a good benefit for home owners. I can trust this, based on my experience with them.

This is probably the best experience I had over last 3 remodels with different companies. It really makes sense to hire a Design-Build team for seamless execution of the project. Their project managers were well coordinated and efficient. Entire process was very transparent and we were notified on every step of the way. They helped with finish selections that made a huge difference on how the home came out in its final version. Service: Home building

Open Remodel Home Designs built our house in Menlo Park and we couldnt be happier. Working with Ashish and his team(especially Mandeep) had far more highs than lows. The construction world is an interesting place and finding reliable, trustworthy people that do good work is a rarity. We found the all in Open Remodel and have currently been living in our new house for over two years now!! I highly recommend them!!!!

We engaged OR Homes design-build for a new home/whole home rebuild in Saratoga, CA. During the design and permitting process we engaged closely with Ashutosh, Shweta and Ron. They listened closely to all our needs and requirements, educating us about the design/build process and working with the city on permitting. I should say that they are very familiar with the city code and are creative in finding solutions and moving the process forward. We were kept abreast of budgetary pressures so we could incorporate $ considerations into our decision making. During the construction process we engaged closely with Mandeep and Ashish. Communication was excellent and they kept us up to date at all points of the build process. All sub-contractors were highly conscientious, polite and efficient, adapting well to various situations. I should say that from this experience we learnt that construction is a complex process with some variables (eg weather) which are not in our control. OR homes did a great job managing those variables and working creatively towards delivering the final product in reasonable time. Whenever we alerted them to a concern they took prompt action. The end result is truly outstanding, they have made our dream a reality. Finally I should say that the OR team delivered on budget with no surprises. Highly recommend this conscientious design build firm for your project.

A nice team who has done a commendable work for us. We had 'renovation with addition of extra square feet' work including adding garage. The project involved designing, getting city permit for complete rehaul of roof, flooring, bathroom, paintings, plumbing, Hvac etc. We added more square feet and attached garage to our house. I would definitely recommend them on basis of the following: 1. COST : reasonably priced but at the same time they are a very knowledgeable team 2. WORK QUALITY : I was happy with the output which was in orderly and timely fashion. They helped get the permit from the city. They were well versed with architectural requirements, city procedures, today's construction styles, etc. 3. SERVICE : They accommodated change requests, late evenings and weekend meetings etc. They suggested is options, they were very mindful of our needs and expense. This team is someone I would trust and definitely going with them for my other property in Fremont, CA.
