Open Remodel
With extensive knowledge of the real estate industry, we design and build beautiful spaces, both Residential and Commercial. We are one stop shop for your Architecture, Construction and Realtor needs. Our approach to combine the 3 major services under one roof gives you peace of mind. We implement the projects from start to finish.

From small additions to multi-million dollar new construction, we do it all. As professional Architects and Designers we offer the best solutions for your Residential and Commercial projects. We work in the entire bay area. Check some of our ongoing projects in different cities. We work closely with the city guidelines to make sure your permit is approved in the fastest possible time.

I reached out to several companies for an architectural design drawing required by the city for a kitchen remodel of my home. Open Remodel was quick to respond and offered competitive pricing. I searched for an architect who could handle my commercial project in Mt. View and was unsuccessful in terms of finding someone who was responsive, available, priced competitively and had the experience to give me confidence until I found Open Remodel.
Services
Our focus is to design the most functional homes that fit your need and budget. Our design process is thorough and we use cutting edge technology to help you visualize the home way before even breaking the grounds. We never settle for second best, and always have your satisfaction as our top priority.
Our milestone based 360 degree view of the entire project keeps you updated about the progree even when you are out of town. Here at Open Remodel we streamline all the key elements of Design, Permits and Construction, enabling clients to focus on whats important and leave the stress behind. When choosing a design professional its important to understand the difference between Architects and Drafters.
We provide a wide range of professional services to meet your needs. We promise to provide every service with a smile, and to your highest level of satisfaction. We design and prepare construction documents. We work with you from schematic design to design development, structural and complete permits.
With the relaxed California ADU rules, this is the best time to start your ADU project. They are quick to design, easy to built and can provide that extra space or long term income. Attached ADU - These are built to the side or rear of the home, or on top of an attached garage. ADUs are an affordable type of home to construct in California because they do not require paying for land, major new infrastructure, structured parking, or elevators.
We discuss your project in detail and come up with the initial design in 10-15 business days. We go over the details and make necessary changes. Final design is presented to you with 3D(separate service) renderings to help you visualize the project. Once you approve we work on the permit drawings and submit to the city for approval.

Remodeled one bathroom for us. Team was very responsive and did a great job. Very helpful with inspections etc.,. Helped with getting all the building material from stores etc.,.
Only issue I had was with the duration of the project. Felt with better coordination job could have completed sooner.

Handled my case quite unprofessionally. They are the ones who reached to me to provide a quote for a residential work that I had posted. It turns out that after submitting the plans to them and waiting for 10 days, I did not get any update. I had to follow up to discover that they had not even bothered to open the files, let alone working on a quote. How do I know that? I had set days limit that would expire the link to the files. This is not the way to gain 5 stars reviews in yelp.

We reached out to Open Remodel for the New Construction of the ADU in our home in San Jose, CA. Since the beginning the Open Remodel team was very quick in answering all our questions and provided different designs based on our requirements. After deciding for a design the permit process started also when lockdown for Covid-19 started. This added some uncertainty in the permit process, but the team at Open Remodel were very professional and gave us confidence that the process was going to move ahead and it did. They made constant follow ups with the San Jose Permit Center, San Jose Water Department

We are very happy with the whole process - design, review, and build - with Openremodel. The project is a room extension in Cupertino. The project is progressing in a very timely manner and we are very happy with all the teams that have worked on project so far - very thorough, courteous and skillful.

Ashish Kumar (Biz Dev) and Mandeep (construction) have been very responsive and accommodative on all our requests. We will certainly use their services on any future project and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them for your home project.

It is great opportunity to work with Open Remodel.

People is really passionate/proactive to help us for any additional work and their system is well organized. Whenever we give some new idea, they always apply every single detail into new design and they provide better view using their great system. Also, each area needs some specific experience for processing permit, especially Palo alto area. They have enough experience to control it and I would like to recommend someone needs home construction in Palo alto area.

We are very happy with the architectural plan Open Remodel came up with for our kitchen project. Open Remodel is a branch of a realty company. (They also offer realty and construction services.)

We interviewed another firm before finding Open Remodel on Yelp. The other company's price estimate for architectural plans kept going up and up. It was like they were feeling us out for how much we could pay. It was a huge red flag. We are willing to pay a fair price but we don't want to be taken advantage of. The quote we received from Ashish (one of the owners of Open Remodel) was fair and

We were looking for an architect firm to extend our house. The project involved swapping of bedroom and living room. Building couple bathrooms and bring a curb appeal to our home. Furnace, FAU and water heater plus new windows.
Working with Ashish and Shweta was super fun. They were detailed in their approach in iterating over our final design. They helped us throughout in providing valuable suggestions on design decisions. Be it the first design, window sizes or pushing each dimension to the most. Their design passed without any problems with the city and the process was pretty smooth. The only

If I could give Open Remodel 10 stars I would. I had the pleasure of working with Shweta on one of my projects which should have been quite simple but became a bit too complicated due to another structural company we are working with.

Shweta helped navigate thru' the complexity and co-ordination with the City and the Structural Engineering company. She is fast, responsive, an amazing problem solver and always willing to help.

In hindsight I would have hired Open Remodel for the entire project. I am going to do another small addition and will definitely be using their services again.

OpenRemodel is as good as it gets!

We have a 50-year-old house in Los Altos that needed a full home remodel.

When we first started out, we had some very unpleasant experiences with our full home remodel until we met Ashish Kumar, Head of Business Development at OpenRemodel. He was a breath of fresh air for us. He presented himself very well, is personally very experienced in having done remodeling on his own properties in the past, and he is very thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable, and professional. He always put us, the customer, first, lead us in the right direction, and took care of everything

My wife and I were looking for an architect to help us create plans for our kitchen remodel project. We wanted to remove an internal wall to open up our floor plan, but were unsure if the wall was load bearing. Ashish and his team coordinated structural evaluation of our home and generated all necessary plans for the remodel. Also, we were looking to save some money by performing much of the demo and installation ourselves. We really liked that the team at Open Remodel was flexible with this plan and was willing to help with the parts we were not comfortable executing. They did not try to up-sell

Honest, down to earth, fair business. Both Ashish and his team are fantastic. The best part I like is their can-do attitude. They don't bother you when city brings issues, they may consult you but knock off on your behalf without taking any significant time from your calendar.

This is my third time doing home remodeling and it will be my last. I wish I had found Open Remodel for my past two projects. I'm quite confident to say that I am reasonably experienced in looking for a good architect (after talking to so many of them). Look no further. Open Remodel has all the qualities that you want to find in an architect. Open Remodel is competent, accommodating, fast, responsive, reasonable and delivers. In general, I have high standards for myself and others. Therefore, I don't often have high praises for people who work for me. That's also the reason why all

We had a wonderful experience with Shweta and Ashish. This was our first remodel so we wanted to go with someone who will be patient with our thoughts and inputs. After searching around quite a bit we landed with Ashish and team and we are very glad we found them. We did our own paper drawing. Ashish and Shweta took that suggested several improvements including keeping the garage pathway as an alley way without having kitchen overlapping with it, making the master bath bigger without taking space from another bathroom etc., which made the design awesome. While we were designing the kitchen

I was partway through selling my house when it came to my attention that a permit I thought was closed was not. The contractor are used and filed for bankruptcy and the architect was MIA. I had no one to turn to until I talk to Ashish. Without his and his staff's help we would not have been able to sell the house. They were fast work easily with us and helped us work through the permitting process. I would highly highly recommend them. Thank you again guys for the great assist!

A nice team who has done a commendable work for us. We had 'renovation with addition of extra square feet' work including adding garage. The project involved designing, getting city permit for complete rehaul of roof, flooring, bathroom, paintings, plumbing, Hvac etc. We added more square feet and attached garage to our house.
I would definitely recommend them on basis of the following:
1. COST : reasonably priced but at the same time they are a very knowledgeable team
2. WORK QUALITY : I was happy with the output which was in orderly and timely fashion. They helped get the permit from the city

I just bought a house and wanted to remodel and add new rooms. They helped me get the remodeling permit within 10 business days. My remodeling started immediately after I closed my mortgage. I was able to move in within 4 weeks while my extension permits were being processed by the city.
Their team works fast and had my timeline as their priority. Very knowledgeable design team. They helped me with permits, interiors and material selection. Their contractor was great!!.

Remodeling and dealing with construction work can be really overwhelming. After talking to several design companies we ended up hiring Open Remodel. Their design fee was competitive and turn around time was quick. My phone calls and emails were answered promptly. They helped me with design, permits, 3D and material selection. The home came out real nice.
Will highly recommend them.
