At Gridley Company, we believe that having a team of qualified professionals is the only way to achieve the level of excellence that we, and our clients, expect. Unlike many other companies that outsource their design work and most of their special trade work, like electrical and plumbing, our staff includes designers, architects, and almost every trade in-house.
Why? Because doing so allows us to have greater control over quality and scheduling. It also means we can offer you a smoother and better remodeling experience, as well as a superior product. Our fully degreed design staff, administrative staff, project managers and field crews are experienced, knowledgeable, talented and dedicated to our clients.

Services
Started in 1976 by Linda Gridley, Gridley Company is one of the premier design/build remodeling contractors in the San Jose Bay Area servicing Santa Cruz, Campbell, Los Gatos, and Mountain View. We have developed an award-winning reputation over 30 years of providing homeowners with a better, more convenient and easier way to remodel their homes.
If you do enough research, you will find a number of remodeling firms, with websites and sales materials that have nice photos and talk about their quality craftsmanship, materials and service. So what makes one company a better fit for your project over another? We offer you the Gridley Difference, which goes above and beyond what other remodeling firms may provide.
We are committed to delivering consistently beautiful results and a positive experience to every one of our clients. In order to achieve our goal, we have developed the Gridley Perfect Project Process. From a bath to a whole house remodel, every Gridley Company project receives the same high level of care and attention to detail.
One of the keys to getting the most value and enjoyment from your remodeling investment is your project's design. It should be intelligent, distinctive and high quality. No matter what the quality of construction, a poorly or thoughtlessly designed project will never give you the aesthetic and emotional satisfaction (the "wow" factor) or the functional utility of a well-designed project.
The Gridley Company, founded over 30 years ago, is dedicated to making home renovations as stress-free as possible. We have a refined Design/Build process created to produce stunning results and satisfied clients at a fixed price. Our process makes communication with clients a priority.
During design and construction we are your single-source responsibility, and you have a Designer and Project Manager to keep you informed about the progress of your project along the way.It's our way of providing peace of mind during what could otherwise be an overwhelming time. We understand that many property owners are nervous about cost overruns.

Our remodel experience (Fall '18 to Fall '19) with Gridley was very positive. Ours wasn't the typical project - we underwent a complete exterior refresh with new roof, siding, trim, windows, doors, and added a covered 6 ft. covered porch/sitting area on the front of the house. It was very extensive. Our designer, Gemma, was fabulous. Construction management (Roger) was wonderful. Ownership/admin (Linda, front desk) were always very polite and professional.
Were there bumps along the way...of course. But Gridley, especially Roger, was there at every turn. Always available

We did a kitchen remodel with Gridley in 2018-19, and we are still thrilled with the results! Loved working with their super competent crew. It was a long process, and inevitably there were a few delays and hiccups, but overall, the project went very smoothly, with the crew going above and beyond for us (making a big push for our New Year's Eve party, for instance). Their design process helped us make thoughtful decisions and kept change orders to a minimum. We had great communication with the crew, who were always careful to check in and make sure that we were getting what we wanted.

Sadly having to changed our feelings and rating. We wanted to use Gridley for a kitchen redesign. We completed the design contract but the cost was over $200k WITHOUT appliances for new cabinets, structural wall removal and adding a kitchen island. Communication not great with Lori the designer. We asked for designs at a lower price as we felt she was designing way beyond what we needed and unnecessarily moving stoves, sinks etc that added to the project cost. She came back with a price even higher. Not feeling like a valued return customer and sadly won't use them or refer them based on this

We remodeled our home two years ago. We settled on Gridley for several reasons -- they spent a lot of time learning about us and what we wanted. They made several site visits to the house and spent a lot of time photographing and discussing options, and spent some time on the phone with us as well.
The next phase took a few months, during which we met with Lisa Cross several times to discuss concepts. She took a phased approach with us, carefully segmenting the final plan into thoughtfully arranged steps. During these steps we selected everything from materials, to design, color and more. Lisa

I would recommend Gridley for all design and construction projects. Gemma was our designer and she transformed an awkward space into a beautiful and tremendously usable kitchen. The computer modelling is so helpful to visualize nearly exactly how the project will turn out so you know just what you are getting. Gemma also guided us --very patiently(!)-- through all of the hard choices, like tile and granite, before the project even began so there was no panicked running around during the construction. She then was able to include our choices into the computer model so we really could see the

We just completed a complete kitchen remodel, and we couldn't be happier. I've experienced several remodeling projects from different companies (bathroom remodel, garage renovation, master suite new construction, large backyard landscape), and this was the best of the bunch. We chose Gridley after interviewing four other firms. Of course, each has its individual business plan and process. We found Gridley's to be the most customer friendly, up-front and honest, and committed to customer satisfaction.
The initial meeting with Linda gave us a solid overview of the design-build

As a sub-contractor/designer I am able to see first-hand the multiple talents an interior designer needs to employ to achieve great customer satisfaction. I have worked directly with Lisa Cross of the Gridley Company on several projects and find her to be an amazing asset to her company. She works step by step with everyone involved though-out the design phase to completion on each project building trust and confidence with her clients. Additionally, as a designer for Valet Custom Cabinets & Closets, I am frequently visiting construction sites. Gridley jobs are some of the cleanest sites I

Gridley really does a thorough job of helping you come up with a good design for your project and does a very nice job of making it come to life. However, when we discovered two years after the project was done that a shower had been leaking into the wall and caused significant damage, they repaired the damage but charged us a couple thousand for the repairs.

Worked with Linda and the Gridley company team on a number of projects : new window, window seat, taking a wall back to open up a room, kitchen upgrade etc etc and was delighted with every member of their team , the quality of the workmanship etc. They walked me through the challenges of the planning and permit process and were responsive to the changes I added (!) along the way :) The outcome is delightful and really changed up the home for the better..........an amazing difference :)

Gridley company redid my master bath a few years ago. I'm pretty hard to please and yet I was very pleased with everybody from Gridley. The quality of their work - carpentry, tile, etc is very high. Their project management team is always on top of things. They got done on time and on budget and it looked awesome. Now, a couple of years later it still looks and works great - we've had no problems and the materials and finishes have stood up to wear and water. People see it and think it is new.

During my many years in the real estate business I have never found a contractor remotely as good as Gridley Company. Every aspect of their business reflects customer care and respect. When I planned a remodel of my own home I was involved intimately with every aspect of the process and throughout I was impressed with their knowlege, care and supreme professionalism. I learned to trust completely their advice and never had regret that I did. Every single person we dealt with from the architect and desiger, to the man who laid tile was someone we would be happy to invite home as a guest. At no
