Giani Construction ADU & Remodel - Ventura, California

Giani Construction did a great job on our kitchen remodel, and if I could give extra stars, I would. Our kitchen was desperately in need of numerous upgrades, but we had a bad experience a number of years ago with another contractor and had a lot of concerns going into this project. As it turned out, we had nothing to worry about. Giani is an excellent, very responsible contractor.

I got 4 or 5 price quotes, most of which were similar in price. Giani was competitive with other bids, but what my wife and I both liked is that he is very experienced and does not work for a large home remodeling company. He specializes in kitchens and bathrooms, and the business is his own. He’s the hands-on project manager and does some of the work himself. Giani also has a great crew who worked hard and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of every day.

We had the entire kitchen demolished—countertops, cabinets, flooring, everything. It was totally gutted right down to the studs. We also took out a wall to make it more open concept. Giani redid the electrical, put in new outlets, recessed lights, and installed a new electrical panel. He subcontracted the electrical work, but Giani oversaw it. Everything, including electrical and plumbing, was included in the contracted price—no surprises!

Giani knows every facet of the remodel process. He handled local permits, inspections, and kept us constantly updated on next steps. We had to select the backsplash tile, countertops, and paint, but Giani picked up the tile and countertops (he works with a fabricator to cut the countertops). The kitchen was redone from top to bottom. The tiles and countertop ran over budget (due to our selection), but Giani let us know ahead of time and we paid the difference to get the materials we wanted.

We also added things on as the project progressed. Giani always gave us a very fair price for these extras and had no problem accommodating things we added to the project. One small example: we wanted to move an air conditioning vent about three feet into the kitchen. I called the a/c company that had done the installation. They gave me one price, so then I asked Giani how much he’d charge. He quoted me $200 less—and he did a beautiful job!

He has a real craftsman who does cabinets, and those turned out amazing, too. The bottom line is that Giani is a complete pro. He’s a man of his word who can handle anything in the remodel process, and we are absolutely in love with our new kitchen.

We have hired many contractors for a variety of home remodeling projects over the past 20 years, and Giani Construction was our best experience by far. Giani was professional, trustworthy and did an excellent job on our bathroom remodel. He was able to implement our vision while making helpful suggestions along the way. His price was reasonable and the project was completed in a timely manner. Besides being great at his job, he's a really nice guy to boot! We cannot recommend Giani Construction any more highly.

Giani and his crew did a wonderful job completely remodeling our two bathrooms. Giani is very easy to talk to, gives attention to detail and is an excellent communicator. He did our both bathrooms exactly as we wanted and always called if he had questions which I really appreciated. Their work morale was exemplary and they worked even during the Thomas fire which we really did not expect, and finished our bathrooms on time! They are very thorough and when they work, they care about not leaving dirt or damage around the house. We are very happy with our remodeled bathrooms and I would recommend Giani to all my friends!

I recently used Giani Construction for a master bathroom remodel and floor replacement. Giani was very thoughtful and thorough throughout the remodel process. He and his team did all the work themselves and I was very pleased with the end-product. Giani was always available for any discussion of the project and made a great effort to keep me up to date on the status of the project. Overall, I had a great experience working with Giani Constuction.

My wife and I just want to let everyone know that we hired Giani Construction to do a full bathroom renovation. From demolition, to a complete plumbing and electrical redo, replacement of all bathroom pieces including removing an aging shower stall for a luxurious soaking tub and shower combo. Tiling the floor and tub wall, adding recessed lightning, old fan replacement, old entry door replaced by a streamlined sliding door, custom tub niche, custom built-in decorative shelving, and custom vanity additions made for a total make over of our aging bathroom.

We observed the various stages of construction, and Giani was always ready to discuss any questions we had and he made sure we were satisfied at every single step of the project. Working hand on hand collaboratively together with my wife and I on the layout plan and design steps, he was able to accomplish the modern bathroom dream that both of us envisioned together.

The tub and shower combination is gorgeous and our master en-suite bathroom is stellar! The bathroom is truly a work of art, is like what you would see in high-profile magazines. We do believe that he is an artist at heart.

Overall, Giani knew exactly what to do(even at tough situations...), very attentive to detail, and he is very honest and fair-priced. We are certain that the quality and attention to detail that he gave us exceeded what other general contractors would have provided.

Giani's work was totally beyond our expectations and completed to our full satisfaction. We would highly recommend him for any one who needs bathroom work done.

I interviewed 3 licensed contractors for remodeling my master bathroom in Ventura. I chose Giani to complete the job which included removing a fiberglass shower stall and large two sink vanity. He built a brand new enlarged tiled shower and granite two sink vanity. I am very pleased with the final results ~ excellent workmanship with an artistic eye. Giani walked me through each step ~ we met at the tile supplier and plumbing fixture supplier to select all materials and fixtures (professional rates). Giani has integrity ~ keeps his word ~ stays in communication (this is really important for me). His rates were fair and stayed close to the agreed upon schedule. This was my first bathroom remodel experience and I was lucky to have chosen Giani. The master bathroom is beautiful ~ his work made all the difference. I learned through this experience to very carefully select tile and materials. There is no going back once the work is done. If you have to select a shower or bath glass door ~ think it through, there are multiple options. Giani is motivated, cheerful, skillful, and hard working.

Giani Construction worked with us to complete a very large project of a kitchen, breakfast nook and great room. The project ended up being more challenging than just the size, when we went move a metal support beam up into the ceiling to increase the visual size of the kitchen and ran into issues pulling permits with the city. Giani saw to it that other items were attended to during the delay and the project kept moving forward throughout the permit process. We also ran into issues when the granite for our center island countertop was found to have a crack that prevented it from being fabricated. Giani worked with the granite yard and fabricator to get us a new undamaged piece that we loved more than the first.

Giani and his entire team were courteous, clean and had excellent attention to detail. The cabinetry work was top notch and turned out beautiful. Rarely do you run into contractors that actually show up when they say they will, return phone calls, and have excellent communication. Giani is the entire package.

We are extremely happy with the end result. Our kitchen and great room are sophisticated and look like a showplace, but are still comfortable and inviting. We have just hired Giani Construction back to assist us with a new project - a bathroom remodel. I would definitely recommend him to others!
