Unique Home Design & Remodeling is a leader in providing value-added construction services to our customers by creating a successful partnership throughout the construction process. Our pledge is to establish lasting relationships with our customers by exceeding their expectations and gaining their trust through exceptional performance by every member on our construction team.

"Just finished a full kitchen remodel with Unique Home Design & Remodeling, and if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Working with Tal made all the difference — he was honest, organized, and clearly experienced. This was our first big home project, so we were nervous, but Tal’s steady communication and willingness to walk us through every choice really made us feel confident. The team was respectful, clean, and worked incredibly hard. One thing that stood out was their flexibility — when we made a few changes mid-project, they didn’t roll their eyes or nickel-and-dime us. Instead, they adapted and kept things moving forward. The result is a beautiful, functional kitchen that feels us. Highly recommend these guys if you want quality and peace of mind!"

We�re a locally owned and operated company with over 40 years of industry experience. We specialize in a variety of home improvement projects which include bathroom remodels, decks, plumbing, flooring, hardscapes and major home repair jobs. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work as well as our commitment to outstanding results. We look forward to building lasting relationships with our clients and guarantee your satisfaction!

"If you are even remotely thinking about hiring this company for spending your hard earned, life savings for your dream project, my sincere advise from my own dreadful experience is DON'T DO IT. My experience was and continue to be a nightmare. As I made this mistake going with this company for my major house remodel ,which I had planned for and saved money for a long time, but now I am stuck with issues across all the areas they worked on and every day I find myself regretting the decision and cursing this company, my fate, seeing and dealing with the issues every day. My house has become a neighborhood joke and a cautionary tale about remodel mistakes to avoid. I learned the hard way that with this company, the only thing that matters is maximizing their own profit. PERIOD. which means pressuring into changing the scope last minute, hiring very cheap , incapable , inexperienced labor, not paying them as promised on time or paying very little, making them resentful and as payback they do a bad job, or simply walk away from the job. Moreover there is no quality check or monitoring or inspections scheduled , simply shows up to collect check and if questioned about the quality and delays, it's like dealing with the mafia boss. Of course I should have been more courageous and deeply involved to kick them out right in the beginning or enforce timely inspections, question them to catch issues promptly. But that's why we hire and trust these companies right ? Because we have our regular jobs to do. In my case this trust was 100% shattered and I find myself not trusting anybody anymore. Just to name a few issues I am finding after the remodel was as so called "completed" my skylights installation started leaking all over the kitchen, blew up my recessed lighting, due to other roofer review I found that there was no weatherproofing done by the cheap installer he hired who just skipped all the weatherproofing work to maximize his profit. There is no proof of inspection performed. Laundry relocation to garage : crew left a big hole from crawl space into the garage which led rats entering the garage and now I dealing with rat infestation. Attic space barrier from garage into rest of the area broken and never covered , so infestation now spreads all over the house, and now all of us losing sleep every night. Garage completion work and expectations were discussed well in advanced with his associate , but he spend 2 hours to force me into changing the scope, leading to unpleasant, aggressive back and forth so he can save cost on the bloody lumber and labor. Keeps adding to the disappointment . Apparently additional electric sub panel was added for distributing the load, now we intermittently lose power to part of the house requiring hard power reset. Shower basically becomes pool of water due to inaccurate slope . Incorrectly installed my Grohe shower system , now it just throws out extreme hot water Crews do not follow the instruction for installing the fixtures, windows and when corrected , become agitated and aggressive due to rework. Multiple cabinet doors were scratched and dented External smooth stucco work is the biggest joke of all where people can see weirdness and bumps from the street, Despite the fact I had showed him a great , professional stucco job across the street multiple times. Goal was to shove something down my throat as fast as possible and get paid. Internal smooth stucco started showing cracks within 6 months. And the list goes on and on.,, worst part is when contacted about these issues, there is no sense of responsibility and accountability, or offer to help resolve rather I was told to contact the horrible sub contractors he hired and deal with it myself."

"Ken and his crew built me 2 beautiful bamboo decks. One large and one small. They also replaced all the plywood and siding on the back of my house. Our upper deck, which is the larger one has a water drainage system so we can have a living space underneath. The lower deck, which is the smaller one is flanked by concrete planter boxes and looks awesome! Despite last winters heavy storms, they got the job done quickly and efficiently."

FAQs for major home repair (general contractor) projects in San Jose, CA

A general contractor oversees a project from start to completion. They create the project’s timeline and schedule, hire, manage, and pay subcontractors and workers, and purchase and deliver building materials and supplies. They’ll also acquire necessary permits and HOA approvals, plan and execute necessary project changes, and make sure work meets quality standards.

Hiring an independent general contractor costs between 10% and 20% of your overall project cost, with larger projects incurring fees up to 25%. This fee covers complete project oversight, scheduling, and subcontractor management. The fee ranges from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting the full scope of the planned work and ensuring seamless coordination throughout the construction process.

General contractors typically provide estimates at no charge, but some may charge a small fee, especially for more complex projects. It's important to secure a written estimate, as it establishes a transparent agreement on project scope, labor, materials, and any additional fees. This helps protect you against unforeseen expenses and ensures clarity before the work begins.

When hiring a general contractor, you must provide an upfront deposit that ranges from 10% to 20% of your overall project cost. This deposit secures material orders, labor scheduling, and initial project preparations. An upfront deposit exceeding 50% is a clear warning sign and should prompt thorough contract verification before proceeding.
