Testimonials
Felicity, Pinole CA
“Gilbert, Marlyn, and their team were phenomenal. Not only did they repair my home after a huge tree fell through my exposed beam ceiling but also gave me the bathroom remodel of my dreams! Both were super easy to communicate with and were flexible with any design changes.
Gilbert was on site frequently with his checklist making sure things ran smoothly with his team. Marlyn and her assistant did an excellent job keeping me aware of the cost breakdown, so there were no surprises. They made the whole remodeling process seamless and calmed our worries of having parts of our home gutted.We have plenty more home projects to complete, and GR innovative Builders is who we want to continue working with!”

"We selected GR Innovative to build our ADU. It was a difficult project because the access was up a hill, quite a distance from the road. Gilbert and his team were amazing, the quality of their work exceeded our expectations and Gilbert’s attention to detail is admirable. Gilbert and his team were on top of the project the entire time – he was onsite and communicative about each step of the project. He has a great team and special shout out to Marlene and Claudia - (Chief of Staff / Assistant) who are responsive, available and and patient to answer all my questions! I love how they handled the quote and billing – it was concise and clear, and payments were clearly defined. The team is very professional, left everything clean and were respectful of our neighbors. We felt like the team is honest, forthright in what was going on, and fair. My husband and I highly recommend GR Innovative and are extremely happy with our ADU."

"We chose GR Innovative Builders to build an ADU in our backyard in Berkeley and we could not be happier! Gilbert and Marlyn are a fantastic team. They patiently answered a million questions I had as we went along and I always felt like they were going above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the build. Billing was clear, with no surprises, and all of the subcontractors seemed excellent (I could write odes about the tiler!). Gilbert clearly cares about what he does and about the quality of the work and the final result is beautiful. I'm already scheming about what other remodeling projects I can have them work on."
