We have hired Stephen and his crew to do a couple of jobs now. They did a great job repairing the wood siding on our house. We also had them finish a shed with insulation, dry wall, paint, and trim. Steve in the office got back to us quickly and communicated schedule expectations clearly. Ricardo would talk to us daily throughout the project to let us know about the job's progress, and him and his crew did a great job completing the work. Stephen was very communicative and demonstrated knowledge about our options from pricing to completion of our projects. Everyone involved made sure we were happy with the final product at the end of the job. We are completely satisfied with the work and plan to use Stephen Bass General Building for future projects.

We had some patches of dry rot in the house exterior and Stephen Bass performed an excellent repair. The team was highly experienced and the work was completed to a high standard. The company operates with complete professionalism, including scheduling, billing and communication. I would highly recommend without any reservations.Service: Home repairs

My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Stephen Bass and team. When he came out to do the repairs, he found that there wasn’t actually dry rot under our sink like we thought and he said he couldn’t take our money for work that didn’t need to be done. His honesty was admirable. We also needed to add on an additional window sill replacement and he was so generous with the change order. The team arrived on time each day for the work and they were respectful and wonderful to work with. Trustworthy contractors are very hard to find in our experience. I am so happy we found them and I would give them more than 5 stars if I could! We are definitely going to work with them again!Service: Home renovations

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.

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!

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 wooding 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, is 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.Services: Painting

We had a couple projects with Stephen and his team including a house exterior painting and a garage renovation! I was excited to share the experiences with friends and neighbors about how professional they are but I started to think they may become too popular and busy to work for my future bath remodeling. Stephen is extremely professional, responsible and reliable. He gives thorough inspection and provides his suggestions according to our requirements before the project starts. And during the construction, he visited the site frequently (almost everyday and checked every tiny details which even we may have missed although his team already did very well. His team always keeps the sites clean everyday before leaving. The final results amazed us! I really appreciated all his work to help our house reborn.Service: Exterior painting

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.

Working with Stephan Bass and team was truly an easy process with a great outcome. The team clearly communicated with me every step of the way, ensuring I was comfortable with their repair approach and result. Stephen was even willing to help answer and refer us for a few other home issues. I highly recommend and would use again.

Really, really strong work and work ethic from Stephen and his team. Stephen helped me with some general repairs inside and outside of our house - siding, tiling, painting. All of the work was done very well. His communication was exactly what you'd hope for, and we were always informed of timing, expectations, costs, everything. In terms of price, we found him to be very competitive and the end result was worth it. We've had not great experiences with contractors in the past, and so it's very refreshing to come across Stephen. We'll definitely look to him again when our next project comes up, and I 100% recommend their work.Services: Exterior structural repairs

Stephen and his team were a pleasure to work with. He's a very friendly, honest guy and knows what he's doing but also explains the process which is just as important.I hired him for a bathroom remodel and when he came in for the consult we exchanged thoughts about what to do. I ended up going with his suggestion which he had very great reasons for and I've been very pleased with the outcome.During the process he communicates well, updates on timelines, budget, which contractors were working at my house that day, etc. I was also at work for the majority of the job timeline and had no concern about having his team in my house. He wrapped up the job in May (ahead of schedule) and I have not had any issues since. I would work with Stephen again.Services: Bathroom remodeling
