Lafayette Hilltop ADU · 400 sq ft · 1 bed, 1 bath
We used GR for our 400sq ft. ADU - they were great from start to finish, even with foundation and electric challenges that we had to overcome. All of their subcontractors are also hard workers. GR listened to any concerns we had and were open to changes we wanted from the original designs. We are grateful to have worked with them and recommend them.

Walnut Creek Kitchen Remodel
They deserve 10 stars. Simply the best in every way. The entire team - Marlyn, Gilbert and Gus - were lovely to work with, even under stress and pressure. Their professionalism was unwavering. We did a complex kitchen remodel with structural changes, and they were thorough and detailed in their work, provided white glove service and kept the project moving, staying ahead of schedule and within budget. They were transparent about change orders and did not nickel and dime us. Although they weren't the cheapest, they weren't the most expensive and were spot on on their original budget and quote. Worth every penny. Communications was terrific, service was 5 star, and the craftsmanship is superb. I would work with them and recommend them at every opportunity.

Danville ADU · 1,200 sq ft · 1 bed, 1.5 bath, office
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.

Berkeley ADU · 415 sq ft
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.
