Why the Bay Area Chooses Gadi Construction
I engaged GADI Constructions Inc to restore my unit in a high rise in San Jose. Right from the beginning Millie, Project Manager, was very professional and when entrusted with the job completed the repair and restoration work smoothly and in time with perfection with time to time progress reporting on phone and through video.
We explored a home addition for our growing family and these folks handled everything with a lot of thought. The builders explained the remodel plan clearly and made the space blend into the house naturally. It was a solid experience all around.
We recently engaged Gadi Construction for a home renovation project, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Their team demonstrated exceptional flexibility, efficiency, and accommodation, adapting seamlessly to our evolving needs while maintaining a high standard of workmanship. The quality of the final output was impressive, reflecting meticulous attention to detail. Millie, our dedicated project manager, along with her team including Mike, fostered a reassuring and collaborative environment throughout the process, ensuring clear communication and minimal disruption. We highly recommend Gadi Construction for any renovation endeavors; their professionalism and commitment to client satisfaction are commendable.

We worked with Nadav from Gadi Construction during the planning phase of our expansion project, and he was a fantastic advisor throughout the process. He helped us think through every detail — from design implications to quality considerations — and brought a thoughtful, thorough, and methodical approach to each discussion.
Nadav was always friendly, highly professional, and incredibly responsive. It consistently felt like he was acting as a truly independent advisor who cared deeply about building long-term relationships and making sure we would get the very best outcome for our project. His proposals were detailed, insightful, and clearly grounded in deep experience.
Although we ultimately moved forward with another contractor who came through a personal referral, that decision wasn’t a reflection on Nadav’s work or professionalism. Based on our experience, we’d be thrilled to work with him in the future and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a trusted, high-quality construction partner.
I went with them for a kitchen makeover and it was worth every penny. The design team helped me see options I never thought about.
Their skilled builders were respectful of the house and kept everything tidy. It felt like a real partnership through the whole remodel.
The value added by the new layout is already noticeable. I still walk in and smile because the remodel turned out exactly right.
Taking on a whole house renovation sounded stressful but they took the edge off. They walked us through each stage of the project so we always knew what was happening. The result feels like a true custom home remodeling job.
The bathroom remodel completely changed how our space feels. Their team helped plan everything so the design made sense and looked great. The quality build is obvious in every corner. It’s nice to have a space that’s functional and adds value at the same time.
We worked with this business for a full residential remodel, and it was a great experience. The skilled builders brought the design to life exactly as we imagined. Every room feels intentional and high-quality. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful and professional remodel.

The cost to finish a 2000 sq ft basement typically ranges from $40,000 to $100,000, with a national average around $70,000. This translates to roughly $20 to $50 per square foot. The final price varies dramatically based on the scope of work and material choices. A basic finish with drywall, flooring, and essential electrical might be at the lower end. Costs escalate significantly with additions like a full bathroom, a wet bar, complex plumbing, high-end flooring, or creating separate rooms. Key cost factors include local labor rates, the need for moisture mitigation or egress window installation, and the quality of finishes. Always obtain multiple detailed quotes from licensed contractors and ensure all work complies with local building codes.
The most expensive part of finishing a basement is typically the foundational work required to make the space dry, structurally sound, and code-compliant. This includes major expenditures like waterproofing, installing a subfloor system to manage moisture, and upgrading or extending essential systems such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. These critical but unseen investments form the necessary groundwork. Without them, any subsequent finishes like drywall, flooring, or cabinetry are at risk. For a detailed breakdown of budgeting and planning for these crucial first steps, we recommend reading our internal guide, Essential Considerations For A Successful Basement Remodel. Proper allocation here prevents costly problems and ensures a durable, valuable living space.
The cost to frame a 2000 sq ft basement typically ranges from $8,000 to $20,000, with a national average around $14,000. This translates to roughly $4 to $10 per square foot. The final price depends heavily on several factors. The complexity of the layout, with many corners, closets, or soffits, increases labor time and material waste. The choice between standard wood studs (like 2x4s) and metal studs affects material costs. Local labor rates are a major variable, and any necessary preparatory work, such as addressing moisture issues or installing a subfloor, adds to the total. For an accurate estimate, it is essential to obtain multiple detailed quotes from licensed contractors who can assess your specific basement conditions and project scope.
The answer depends heavily on the project's scope and location. For a minor cosmetic refresh in a moderate cost-of-living area, $50,000 can be sufficient. This budget could cover painting, new flooring, updated fixtures, and minor kitchen or bathroom upgrades using mid-range materials. However, for a full-scale renovation involving structural changes, major system overhauls (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), or high-end finishes, $50,000 will likely fall short. It is crucial to obtain multiple detailed quotes from licensed contractors and allocate a contingency fund of at least 10-20% for unforeseen issues. Careful planning and prioritizing essential repairs over purely aesthetic changes are key to staying within this budget.
The cost of basement remodeling in Oakland varies significantly based on scope, size, and finishes. For a basic finish-out of an existing, dry basement, homeowners might expect costs starting around $50 to $100 per square foot. A mid-range project with improved flooring, lighting, and a bathroom could range from $100 to $200 per square foot. High-end remodels with custom features, kitchens, or legal accessory dwelling units (ADUs) can exceed $200 per square foot. Key cost factors include foundation and waterproofing work, which are crucial in Oakland's climate, as well as permit fees, plumbing/electrical upgrades, and material choices. Always obtain multiple detailed quotes from licensed contractors who understand local building codes.
