"We are glad we went with Geico Builders for a full master bath remodel. They were very easy to work with, everything went as planned and we were very happy with the results. Diane was our main choice, she knew exactly how to invasion perfect layout of our bathroom remodel. They set up a group chat with everyone to coordinate and they forwarded us the results & paperwork as soon as they received it. Alex, the designer, was helpful in helping to putt together our design and vendor recommendations. She quickly responded to feedback & updates to our design, and she even worked through her vacation on our project. When one of the vendors got our order incorrectly, the Geico Builders team worked with them to quickly rectify the issue. During construction, the foreman, Tony, was very well-organized and good to work with. His team was friendly, careful, and they kept the place as clean as they could. They follow up with us throughout construction to ensure that every detail of the construction was built to what we wanted."

"I have been wanting a pool in my backyard for years now, while I was searching for contractors online, I found Bayside Builders online and decided to call them up for an estimate on building my dream pool in my backyard. They came over and explained everything to me on how they were going to design my pool, what it would cost, and what the entire process was like.I was so impressed with the attention to detail that they took for this project because I never knew it would be so complicated. It looks great now though and more importantly, it gets used often by my family & friends! I highly recommend Bayside Builders for any home renovation project you may have-they are second to none."

"I had an amazing experience with Be home Remodeling, I want to thank Josh Zack's and his team of dedicated professionals for the amazing job they did on my master bathroom. Josh?s dedication and communication was crucial in ensuring the job was done quickly and professionally. He was is always available and provided quick response! We decided to do a bathroom remodel a couple of weeks ago. The entire process was done properly and as described to me at the start. Project was on schedule and went extremely smooth. The workers and staff were really professional, polite and easy to work with. I highly recommended BE Home Remodeling and specifically Josh Zack."

"Very honest engineer. He performed a mandatory seismic inspection that was required for the city of Hayward. There was no foundation issue whatsoever. Before Mr Padir did the inspection I had a retrofit company look at my building and they told me it would cost $58k to fix the problem and I almost fell for it. It turns out that one joist was rotten from a sewer leak that was repaired. It is hard to find honest people these days. I am so glad it is only a cosmetic fix and a sister joist installed next to it to relieve the pressure on the building. Thank you once again Mr. Padir. Excellent job and quick turnaround."

"Working with Sabrina at Fresh Start Living was one of the best decisions we made for our home. She updated the old interior of our recently purchased home and redesigned the landscape of the front and backyard. She knew how to combine different styled flooring and counter pots to flow well, and recommended certain lighting layout and stone materials for the yard to elevate and modernize the old landscaping. She took the time to go to local nurseries with us to help choose flowers, trees, and plants that fit our vision and budget. Another thing that stood out for us was that Sabrina shared a percentage of her corporate designer discounts for the interior materials with us, which saved us money?something no other designer offered. She has several clients but would always answer questions by end of day and address concerns patiently and always with a great attitude. Working with Sabrina was a great decision and recommend her to anyone that wants personalized design work for their home"

"I had a great experience with Toca Building Design. They drew the plans for my kitchen remodel and dealt with everything that the city needed. With his plans I was able to custom order all of my cabinets smoothly and we had no issues when the contractor built everything. I would highly recommend them for any plans you may need, i will be using them again."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in San Leandro, CA

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.

Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.

A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.

Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
