General Contractor in San Leandro, CA

EcoStar Remodeling & Construction is a licensed general contractor serving San Leandro and San Lorenzo (CSLB 1034806). We remodel kitchens and bathrooms, build ADUs and home additions, and handle roofing, foundations, driveways and decks, and every project starts with a free in-home estimate.

Much of San Leandro grew in the years after World War II, and next door San Lorenzo Village was built from 1944 as one of the country’s first planned communities, a tract of two- and three-bedroom homes. Houses of that age are often ready for a larger kitchen, a second bathroom, an added bedroom or a backyard unit.

Kitchen remodel by EcoStar Remodeling & Construction

How do you remodel a kitchen or bathroom in a San Leandro home?

In a compact house the kitchen is often the room that most needs more space. Common answers are opening it to the dining or living room, reworking the cabinet layout for more storage and counter, or borrowing space from a hallway or closet. Each wall we move is checked for load first, and new circuits, venting and plumbing are planned with the layout, not after it.

Bathroom remodels range from new tile, vanity and fixtures to full rebuilds with a walk-in shower, and many owners add a second bathroom while they are at it. We handle the design choices, the permits and the trades. See kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling for materials and options.

Can you add space with an addition or ADU in San Leandro?

Yes. An addition extends the main house for a bedroom, a bathroom or a larger living area; an ADU or a garage conversion creates a separate unit for family or rental income, reviewed under the state ADU law published by California HCD. Setbacks, lot coverage and utility connections decide which fits your lot, so we check them on site first.

In the city, permits go to San Leandro’s Building and Safety Services at City Hall, 835 East 14th Street. San Lorenzo is an unincorporated community governed directly by Alameda County, so building permits there are applied for with the County through the Alameda County Public Works Agency’s permit portal. We confirm the right office for your address and file there. More on our home additions and Bay Area ADU builder pages.

What roofing, foundation and seismic work do San Leandro homes need?

The trace of the Hayward Fault passes under Foothill Boulevard in San Leandro. 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.

When we replace a roof we check the decking and flashing underneath, and we look at gutters and drainage so water moves away from the foundation. Outside, we pour driveways, lay pavers and build decks. See roofing, foundation repair and driveways.

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.
