Answer: You Get What You Pay For

You’ve finally decided to remodel your kitchen or bathroom. First, congratulations. Investing in your home is never a bad idea⁠—especially in the Bay Area.

What it Means to Work with Skilled General Contractors

Remodeling projects are complex and time consuming⁠—with a myriad of pitfalls. We’ve seen just about all of them⁠—it’s one of the many reasons HDR Remodeling consistently ranks as one of the East Bay’s best full-service Design + Build firms, with a stellar reputation. We set deadlines and meet them, and work with you to maximize your budget and investment.

Experience - We’re a full-service Design + Build firm with hundreds of completed projects.
Efficiency - Our proven process ensures budgets, deliverables, and timeliness are adhered to.
Ethics - Honesty and integrity are the core of our business.

A skilled General Contractor manages all aspects of your remodeling project⁠—from design concept to permit-ready plans, subcontractor scheduling, materials⁠, and of course, construction.

Throughout the process, your Project Manager acts as a liaison between you and all the subcontractors, taking the guesswork out of who to contact during the remodeling process. This single point of contact methodology ensures your home remodeling project is completed on time and on budget, with minimum hassles.

Would You Rather Drive a Hyundai or a BMW?

Sure, they’re both designed to do the same thing—but one is strictly utilitarian, while the other provides a luxury experience—and longevity of craftsmanship. In short, you get what you pay for.

However, if you can only afford the Hyundai, consider waiting a few years to embark upon a remodel. A bigger budget will return a better yield on your remodeling investment even in the short-term. Higher quality materials and finishes, combined with master craftsmanship provides lasting value - especially when it comes time to sell.

You Buy It vs. We Buy It

Many people question the disparity in price for fixtures and finishes, like toilets, sinks, bathtubs, etc., that we specify, versus one you purchase.

Since we’ve developed the plans, we know our specified materials will work and perform optimally based on the design. Whereby the one you might purchase might not match properly, especially plumbing fixtures. Additionally, we offer a warranty on materials and labor, providing further assurances of the quality and craftsmanship of our work.

We’re Clean and Green

We honor your home and strive to leave your property clean, tidy, and healthy by utilizing the latest eco-friendly raw materials whenever possible, and state-of-the-art dust reducing technologies and products. See Best Practices: Preparing For A Kitchen And Bathroom Remodel.
