I hired IY Development for a tile floor job. Everything was nice at first and the old floor was ripped up and taken away but now I can’t get a hold of anyone at the company. Ilan will not return my emails and Obi will not text, call, or message me back through the app. It’s as if they suddenly shut down. I even called the main company line and no one will answer. I don’t know what to do. I have a stack of tile and no one to install it. More...

Adam and his team were super efficient and skilled. My bathroom remodel was completed January 2025. I'm just sorry I took so long to write this review. They were able to replace my ugly vessel sink without destroying my beautiful black marble countertop. This saved me so much money. Their office helped me complete my HOA requirements with such ease. Along with dealing with SF permitting. That was such a huge relief. I am so happy with my new bathroom. More...

How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
Converting a garage into living space can be a great way to add extra usable space to a home. Here are some factors to consider when determining if your garage is suitable for conversion:
Space and Size: Ensure that your garage has enough space to meet your needs. Measure the dimensions of the garage to see if it provides adequate room for the intended use.
Foundation and Structure: Check the foundation and structural integrity of the garage. It should be in good condition to support the additional load that comes with converting it into living space.
Zoning and Permits: Check local zoning regulations and obtain necessary permits. Some areas may have restrictions on converting garages, and it's essential to comply with local building codes.
Ventilation and Insulation: Evaluate the ventilation and insulation in the garage. Proper insulation is crucial for maintaining a comfortable living environment, and adequate ventilation is necessary for air circulation.
Electrical and Plumbing: Consider the electrical and plumbing systems. Ensure that the garage has access to power and that the electrical system can support the additional load. If plumbing is required, consider the feasibility and cost.
Windows and Natural Light: Assess the availability of windows and natural light sources. Adequate windows can improve the ambiance and ventilation of the converted space.
Parking Considerations: If the garage is currently used for parking, consider alternative parking solutions. Check local regulations to ensure compliance with parking requirements.
Budget: Determine your budget for the conversion. Converting a garage can involve expenses such as insulation, flooring, windows, and more. Have a clear idea of the costs involved.
Aesthetic Integration: Consider how the converted space will integrate with the overall aesthetics of your home. Think about exterior changes, such as matching materials and architectural style.
