During our first conversation, our team will ask you about different aspects of your renovation project to better understand your needs and preferences. Afterward, we will assign an experienced licensed contractor to conduct a free in-home consultation at your property.
After the consultation and materials selection, we will now develop a detailed contract proposal that outlines the terms, scope of work, payment schedule, proposed schedule, and key project details.
Our skilled licensed contractor will arrive at the agreed-upon date and time to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the designated remodeling area. This step allows us to gather firsthand insights into the scope of the project.
To make the selection process easier, we provide the option to take clients to nearby vendors for an in-person consultation regarding the selection of materials. We are well-versed with the stores and Stephen Bass himself will assist you in navigating the stores to make the best use of our time.
After performing an on-site assessment, we will provide you with a detailed estimate that breaks down the anticipated costs associated with your remodeling project. Our easy-to-understand estimate ensures clarity and sets realistic expectations for the financial aspect of the renovation.

"Stephen Bass is a very competent and efficient repair & remodeling professional. He completely remodeled my 1920's home, staying within the cost estimate and finishing the remodel job way ahead of schedule. Mr. Bass submitted his cost estimate a day after he toured the home. The scope or work and price was presented in a well organized manner, setting forth the work for the whole house: new plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and interior/exterior painting. Then, specifying the scope of work & price for each room. Mr. Bass helped me select all the materials, appliances, cabinets and finishes. The results are outstanding. I have a new home!"
Mr. Bass completely remodeled my 1920’s home. He stayed within the cost estimate and completed the job ahead of time. For the entire house, he installed new plumbing, electrical, mechanical and re-painted the interior/exterior of the home. In his scope of work, he clearly identified the breakdown of cost, room by room. He completely remodeled my kitchen including new flooring, cabinets, countertops & appliances. Likewise, he in remodeling the bathroom with new flooring, quartz finishes, cabinets & toilet. He also converted our outdoor shed into an ADU. Mr. Bass is well organized, efficient and a complete professional.
I initially met Steve at a Starbucks in downtown San Jose. He was wearing his business shirt, so I inquired about the type of work they do. He listed out all the things they do. For example, we were looking to replace our home's exterior wood siding with new siding. I got his information and called him sometime later. A month or so later. He came to our house and did the prerequisite walk around. He then asked, "how many times do you like to go on vacation?" We were like, "huh,." So he asked again and then explained himself. What he was getting at the amount of money you're going to spend on replacing the wood, we can go to Cabo, a bunch of times. Here's the kicker and why we went with him. He said, "as a contractor, I would love to charge you more money, but you do not need a complete replacement, what you need is a really good paint job." And that is what we did. If you're looking for an honest, detail-oriented company, go with Steve Bass. He's 100% involved in the project, ensuring that your vision is what they are providing. At first, it was a little confusing because he and his project/office manager are both named Steve. Outside of that, go with Steve Bass! He's from the area and still lives in San Jose. His expertise is Victorian and California bungalows, but whatever your style of home, Steve will get you squared away. If you need referrals for other projects in your home, they will guide you in the right direction. I'm glad we chose Steve.
I met Stephen Bass at Silicon Valley Pride in August. After talking with him about the work I was looking to have done, I knew I wanted to have him come and give me an estimate. The whole experience was positive and professional. Both Stephen and his team made sure everything was done to my satisfaction. I am passing his information on to my new neighbor and will be contacting Stephen for future jobs.
