Golden State Designs

Golden State Designs remodels kitchens and bathrooms, builds room additions and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and provides other general construction services for homeowners in Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda, and San Francisco Counties. The company’s full-service capabilities allow it to handle every phase of its clients’ projects in-house, from the initial designs to the finishing touches.

Owner Gad Petel says Golden State Designs’ planning skills have been crucial to its success. “We love the planning stage of construction because we’re often able to see things that even architects or engineers miss, which allows us to contribute something really meaningful to each project. When we see a client’s reaction as they walk through their finished space for the first time, that feeling never gets old.”

Golden State Designs prioritizes quality control by combining daily oversight with hands-on leadership. “We have a company standard that everyone is trained to follow, so there’s no ambiguity when it comes to our expectations,” says Mr. Petel. “Our foremen are responsible for ongoing quality control on the jobsite, but I also personally visit every project to reinforce our commitment to doing things the right way.”
