Our kitchen remodel and whole-house paint
We hired Clever Design And Remodeling to remodel our kitchen and paint the entire house in San Mateo. Gili was our project manager, and the experience was amazing! He did so much for us, from choosing all the materials to the perfect 3D design the team did for us. They finished our project on schedule, with minimum hassle for us. He promised us, in the beginning, to stay within our budget, and we certainly did!
A full house renovation
I just finished a full house renovation with Clever, and I am thrilled with the results! They were super easy to work with, even though I had some changes along the way. The design and planning process was surprisingly smooth, and I love the finishes.
My parents' kitchen and bathroom
I had a great experience with Clever during my parent's kitchen and bathroom renovation. They could answer all of our questions with knowledge and expertise and eased my mother's anxiety about making such significant changes to their longtime residence. These guys made everything easy for us but kept us in the loop.
