                  What Our Customers Have to Say About Working with Our Team

                  After my first successful project with Green Bay Remodeling, I approached them to do my next project. I can't say I wasn't worried about hiring a contractor, but Zack and the crew really went above and beyond to not only do the job but also to make sure that its the right project. I'm pleased with how my kitchen and bathroom look, and I am very thankful to the team to execute my vision. I would recommend Zack and his company to everyone looking to remodel their homes.

                  A J, San Rafael

                  From my very first call to the completed remodeled project, Green Bay has been a fantastic experience with the BEST customer service. My Project Manager Danny Lebowski was very detailed and thoughtful with each step of the process. His communication was excellent and honest. The team was amicable, kept the place clean, and worked at a high pace. I am very proud of my two new bathrooms and recessed lighting. I would definitely hire them again.

                  Angelin, Petaluma

                  Working with Melissa was a smooth experience. We felt comfortable with the way she explained things and she was determined to do a good job and told very well what to expect and how it works. Any issues or questions that came up were answered and resolved quickly. Green Bay takes pride in their work, and their people are all professionals. Their reputation is on the line; she put the best people on our project, which didn't disappoint. The team was great, very experienced, and knowledgeable. They made constructive suggestions, and they had an excellent solution for every problem I was dealing with.

                  Riley, Oakland

                  Our bathroom had been remodeled almost four decades ago without a permit, so we thought we might have permit problems. We did. The project manager went to bat for us several times at City Hall and made sure we got it. The work was done quickly, efficiently, and correctly. My husband usually gets quite anxious during remodeling projects, but, thanks to frequent communication with the attentive and unflappable manager, he had an easy time with the permit process's ups and downs. The bathroom looks excellent, the shower is lovely, we are thrilled.

                  Patricia W, Palo Alto

                  When I decided to remodel my kitchen and bathroom, I did a lot of research on the internet. I found Greenbay remodeling, and I couldn't be happier. My project manager Ariel was so helpful in giving me ideas to make my project look lovely. I felt very comfortable, even though I had never done anything like this myself. He was upfront about the costs, time frame, and everything to expect. We created my dream design! I highly recommend Green Bay remodeling and especially Adir, if you are looking to upgrade. The crew was fantastic, and even my neighbors were so impressed with the work.

                  Elizabeth P, San Mateo

                  I have never done remodeling before, and I heard so many bad stories about going wrong during the construction. But I was so lucky that I found Green Bay Remodeling. It's a reliable and friendly company! My project manager, Elad, walked me every step of the way and explained the process's detail for me. He guided me throughout and made it super easy on me. And he was always responsive to any questions and concerns I had. Overall it's a very efficient and reliable company, and I am delighted that my house turned out fantastic. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to revamp their home!
