General Contractor in San Jose, CA

EcoStar Remodeling & Construction is a licensed general contractor serving San Jose from our office at 2570 N First St #2058 (CSLB 1034806). We build kitchen and bathroom remodels, ADUs, garage conversions and home additions, roofing, foundations, driveways and decks, and every project starts with a free in-home estimate.

San Jose lies between the San Andreas Fault, the source of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and the Calaveras Fault, so structural work here is planned with seismic loads in mind. We plan each job around the house and lot you actually have: its framing, its foundation, its wiring and what the City of San Jose requires.

Kitchen remodel by EcoStar Remodeling & Construction

What goes into a San Jose kitchen or bathroom remodel?

Our San Jose team works from North First Street. At the estimate we measure the kitchen, open cabinets and check the panel, then lay out two options: one that keeps the sink, range and refrigerator where they are, and one that changes the layout with an island or an opened wall. The second needs new circuits, venting and framing, and its drawings go into the permit application, so you see the difference in scope and price before you choose.

Bathroom remodels range from new tile, vanity and fixtures to full rebuilds with a walk-in shower, a re-pipe or a second bathroom. We plan waterproofing, drain slope and ventilation with the design, then coordinate the trades and the inspections. See kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling.

How do ADUs and garage conversions get permitted in San Jose?

California law lets most single-family lots add an accessory dwelling unit, and often a junior ADU inside the house as well; California HCD publishes the state rules cities apply. The usual San Jose paths are a detached backyard unit, a converted attached or detached garage, or an addition to the main house, and lot size, setbacks and utility connections decide which fits.

Plans go to the Development Services Permit Center at San Jose City Hall, and many permits can be started online through the City’s SJPermits system. We prepare the drawings, submit them, answer plan-check comments and build through final inspection. More on our Bay Area ADU builder, garage conversion and home additions pages.

What roofing, siding and seismic work do San Jose homes need?

On a house with a raised wood floor and a crawl space, a brace and bolt retrofit sheathes the cripple walls with plywood and bolts the frame to the foundation, and California’s Earthquake Brace + Bolt program offers retrofit grants for qualifying houses in eligible ZIP codes. We also repair cracked or settled foundations before a remodel builds on them.

When we replace a roof we check the decking and flashing underneath, and new siding goes over a sound, sealed wall. Outside, we build decks and patios, pour driveways and lay pavers. See roofing, foundation repair and deck building.

I reached out for bids for a new roof. I met Zane over the phone and set up a meeting. He arrived and we talked about what I was interested in doing. I told him the roof was the priority because my insurance company threatened to cancel me. He agreed that my roof did need a replacement and the reason why insurance companies have issues with old roofs. He laid out some numbers for me about what I was interested in. We talked roof extension, gutters, solar panel cost, battery system an a going with a lighter color. All these things and also some interior lighting the kitchen area. I have to say that after a few hours of his time we reached and agreement on what I was hoping for during the t he process. How fast, the time involved and price were considered. The contract was the biggest issue of course and how much I could afford. EchoStar made me a good offer for the work and I felt very satisfied with the decision to go with eccstar. I was happy with how fast the roof was stripped and preped. The work crews were amazing and did very good work. I did not have many concerns and if I did there was always someone to help answer my questions. Zane the project manager was in contact with me the whole time. I was very happy with his customer service and also his caring of my satisfaction throughout the construction phase. I would highly recommend this company for any construction needs. They have a lot of good worker and I was very impressed and happy with my decision going with EcoStar.

First of all, thank you, Kennet. I truly appreciate the incredible work you and Ecostar Remodeling & Construction did on my attic insulation. I’ve done several home improvement projects over the years, but I’ve honestly never experienced this level of professionalism, precision, and care. From the initial inspection to the final walkthrough, everything was explained clearly and handled flawlessly. The crew was punctual, clean, and extremely detail-oriented. The work was done beyond code, using high-quality materials, with zero shortcuts. The difference in temperature and overall comfort in my home was immediate, and I noticed improved energy efficiency right away. I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a contractor you can truly trust in Oakland, Ecostar is on another level. Highly recommended.

We had a bathroom and living room update, and the crew did a great job. The tiles, fixtures, and paint were all done neatly, and the spaces now feel brighter and more usable. The process was steady, and the finished areas feel solid and practical.

I wasn’t sure how involved this project would be, but the crew really simplified things. They handled each step steadily, kept me updated, and managed the tricky parts without making a big deal of them. The upgraded space feels more modern and easier to use, and the whole process felt surprisingly smooth.

I reached out to Rotem and his company to see if my home’s roof was still under warranty. Unfortunately, the warranty did not transfer over but he gave me a good quote on the repair. Rotem is very professional and his explanation of the work was thorough. He also advised on which repairs around the house can wait, and what needed to be prioritized. He’s a good guy and a pleasure to deal with. If you’re shopping around for quotes, Rotem and Ecostar is a great point of reference no matter which company you go with. They are on my short list of home repair contractors.

Our house needed a fresh look, so we hired Ecotar remodeling, Meni and his team for interior painting and drywall repairs. They handled everything patching cracks, smoothing walls, and applying flawless paint throughout the home. The crew was friendly and careful with our furniture. The colors came out perfect, and the place looks brighter and more modern. Couldn’t be happier with the result.
