Silvio Dobrovat is one of those exceptional contractors whom we rely upon to collaboratively work with to develop a preliminary design for a large renovation and get assistance with value engineering that retains the design intent of the project and come up with a better project that we had envisioned in the first place. I highly recommend Hometelligent, Inc for your next home enhancement proyecto. Courtney Miller, Ecobuild Architects.Posted on allyce kimerlingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hometelligent did 2 major remodel projects in our 1920-built Oakland home. In 2014 they completely gutted and remodeled our kitchen, creating a beautiful, functional space. In 2021, they remodeled our bathroom, turning a worn tub/shower into a level-in shower with gorgeous custom tile work. They also added a half-bath in a bedroom closet, and created a new closet that looks like it has always been there. Their work was of great quality, they made very useful design suggestions, and were responsive to our needs.Posted on Nina JizharTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Silvio and his team completed a loft addition and had done a great job. Silvio was very responsive and communicative and kept us in the loop of construction progress.
