Testimonials
Our new kitchen, especially, is our heart’s delight.
We had the good fortune to be able to see it resurrected from studs, and observe the entire process, witnessing the skill and expertise the crew and subs brought to the project.
Learning the true significance of the word “custom” as applied to custom kitchen. We got to know our core crew members well, and while we are glad our construction project has concluded, we will truly miss their presence and humor and personalities. They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, and I believe that is true. With that in mind, our new kitchen is all we envisioned and more, and will once again be a gathering place for family and friends in the future.

We selected May Construction for our whole house remodel and are extremely satisfied with the outcome.
During the process, we met material suppliers that worked directly and seamlessly with May Construction, which allowed us to select and purchase all materials in a smooth and expedited manner before the construction phase began. We were provided a detailed shceudle and met updates, make real-time decisions and keep the lines of communication open during process. Any issues we encountered during the build process were dealt with immediately and with the utmost intergrity. May Construction worked with the consistent goal of satisfying the client. All subcontractors and May Construction employees are experts in their trade and provide a quality outcome. Our project was completed on time and on budget and we were fully satisfied with the outcome.

Meeting with Greg May helped us finalize our decisions based on the vision we had for the house. He had great ideas, didn't push to do unnecessary work, poreserved some previous remodeling we had done, and kept it simple and straightforward while accomplishing what we wanted to do with our house.
He was always keeping budget in mind and suggested ways we could do more for less, and be more efficient with our project. He wasn't pushing and his personaility was very calming in these very stressful beginning stages.
Before we began, we worked through an estimate budget that we were able to tailor to what we wanted to do. Although we added more scope to the project once we started, we were never surprised in the middle of the project with additional costs to the original scope of our project.
Many friends had said, "Expect your budget to double by the end", and happily we ended within our scope.
It was easy to contact our project manager, Eric. He was willing to answer questions and solve issues that had come up. No matter the situation, Eric was always a listening ear and would reach out to the proper subcontractor to get the issues resolved. Going through a remodel can be very stressful and May always took a calm and measured approach to any sittuation. They were good at listening to concerns, making suggestions, and made the process as pleasant as possible.
We are more then thrilled with the finished product. We have an amazing "new" home and have found new friends in May Construction. It is rare at the end of a project that people would not only value their contractor, but consider them friends. From the office staff, to the construction crew... EVERY person at May Construction was a fantastic person that showed they cared about making my house a home to be proud of.

The team at May Construction is absolutely amazing. My husband and I did a fairly manjor renovation (removing load bearing walls, completely gutting and changing the layout of the kitchen, new floors throughout 1st floor, removing and replacing windows, adding a skylight and more!).
I'm sure you've heard contractor horror stories as we had, but I can very happily let you know that you're safe from those nightmares with the team at May! Every person at May treated our home and the job as if it were happening in their own home, with the utmost care and attention to detail. Greg (the owner) did a fantastic job explaining the process up front, and making sure we were well-informed on budget, timeline, and expectations before we got started. Our project manager, Bill, was the absolute BEST. I cannot overemphasize how incredible he was to work with. Throughout our project, he kept us extremely well informed, was constently present onsite, and managed the subs (who were also all great!) extremely efficetively. He was ALWAYS easy to reach and constantly pushing for efficiency AND quality on our project. He was clearly very knowledgeable and was always able to give us fantastic advice on decisions when we needed not to mention, he was just extremely pleasant to work with.
Our project came in on budget and on time (actually slightly early!). I cannot recommend May Construction enough. In fact, we loved them so much we're already planning our next remodel with them for our bathrooms!

“We truly enjoyed working with May Construction for our full house remodel.
Their approach to managing the entire project, including the sub-contractors, from design to permits to construction to finishing touches, provided a smooth and easy remodel experience. Greg is a great collaborator. He listened to our thoughts, as well as brought many wonderful ideas to the table. Along with his team, he was able to bring those concepts to life.
“Our home feels like a new home and we love it even more than we expected!" Although there were challenges due to shelter-in-place, May Construction was able to complete our project ahead of schedule and on budget.
“Greg and his team are honest, hardworking, reliable, and personable. We are grateful to May Construction for bringing our dreams to reality. We would highly recommend May Construction for your project!”

“Our relationship with May Construction started in 1993 when we bought our current home in San Jose. We needed to remodel our kitchen and May Construction was highly recommended to us.
“Fast forward to 2020, we were more than ready for another kitchen remodel. We were thrilled to learn that May Construction was still in business and thriving! Greg came out to listen to our ideas and offered insight on how best to meet them.
“We appreciated his vast knowledge, experience, and quiet confidence. We met with a few other businesses and quickly learned that May Construction stood out beyond all others.
“Prior to start date, we were provided a detailed calendar of work to be done which was seamlessly followed. May Construction has excellent relationships with all their subcontractors. This close relationship creates a positive working environment and pride in the work completed by all.
“Our project was completed on time with punch list items addressed to perfection. We worked with some amazing team members from May Construction! Donna, Project Design Coordinator, was truly amazing and pleasant to work with. Bill, our Project Manager, was outstanding! His overall knowledge of everything regarding construction was very impressive.”

The timeline is surprisingly accurate and so is the budget. Their craftsmanship is impeccable and they have great attention to detail. They are cost-conscious but quality is top priority. Most importantly, they have the utmost integrity.
I have worked with Bill and Troy who are wonderfully responsive to any issues or questions. The designer designed our bathrooms and I still marvel at the ingenuity in some of her designs and suggestions personalized to our specific needs. Donna helped us in our kitchen design and we love it.
When making design decisions, they are congnizant of the trade-offs between cost and esthetics and their suggestions are spot-on. Aside from selections, I did not have to worry about any details once things got started. Everyone has a positive energy and genuinely cares about making our home perfect.
We are now enjoying the fruits of our remoded home. Although we were considering moving in the future to a larger home, we are so happy with our remodel, it is unmlikely we will consider moving anymore. We love working with May Construction and recommend them highly.

“We selected May Construction to do our Whole Home Remodel and Addition after carefully evaluating several other contractors. Their high-quality work, reputation and experience with their clients was an important factor for us as this would be our forever home for our growing family.
Bill, our Project Manager, kept us informed of the progress on a daily/weekly basis and made us feel comfortable with the work being done. They paid close attention to the details, the construction schedule and made sure that all aspects of the job were completed in a timely manner. It was a pleasure working with the entire May Construction team. We spent the past year in lockdown enjoying our new remodel and addition and look forward to sharing and spending many more memories and events in our beautiful home now that we are able to do so!”
