Ingenious General Construction

Customer Feedback Summary We hired Ingenious General Construction for a full backyard transformation in Alamo, custom pool and spa with heater and cover, barbecue, hardscape throughout, and some serious retaining walls. A few things stood out from the start, and the biggest selling point is the people. Carlos and the designers really listened in the early stages, and the PMs kept things moving when construction started. The whole process felt organized, calm. No drama, no headaches, which is rare in this industry. We’ve worked with contractors before, but this experience was different, more personal, more thoughtful. You can tell it’s a family-run business that actually cares. If you’re looking for a design-build team for pools, hardscape, or major remodels, highly recommend Ingenious General Construction.

This was a large project that included adding a JADU (Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit), remodeling three bathrooms, and completing a full kitchen renovation. With so many different parts of the house being worked on at the same time, having an organized general contractor was extremely important. Carlos was great from beginning to end. He explained the process clearly, helped us make decisions, and made sure the different trades and phases of construction were properly coordinated. What impressed us most was how structured the company was. We had clear communication, scheduling, and project management throughout the remodel. The kitchen turned out beautiful, all three bathrooms were completely transformed, and the new JADU gave us valuable additional living space.

(5 stars) For years, we talked about adding more living space to our property, but every time we started looking into an ADU, the process seemed overwhelming. Where do you start? Who handles the plans? What about permits, engineering, utilities, inspections? Then we met Carlos and Ingenious General Construction, and suddenly everything started making sense. They helped us create and build a beautiful ADU at our home in Livermore, CA, guiding us from the early design stages all the way through construction and final finishes. Carlos was knowledgeable and straightforward, explaining the process, costs, schedule, and different options before we had to make decisions. What we appreciated most was having one company coordinate everything. Ingenious helped with the ADU design, architectural plans, engineering, Livermore permitting process, construction, kitchen, bathroom, electrical, plumbing, flooring, and finish work. Instead of us trying to coordinate five different people, their team kept everything moving. The crew was professional and respectful of our property, and the job site was kept clean and organized throughout construction. The finished ADU looks fantastic and feels like it belongs with our existing home.

(4 stars) We hired Ingenious General Construction to improve our backyard, and although it was not a large-scale project, they gave it the same level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail as they would for a major renovation. They transformed the space by installing artificial turf, decorative gravel, a new shed, and a patio cover with a BBQ area. Our once-simple backyard is now a clean, attractive, and low-maintenance outdoor space that we can enjoy for relaxing, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. Carlos and his team were well-organized throughout the entire process. They assisted us with planning the layout, selecting materials, and coordinating each stage of the project. The crew was courteous and professional, kept the work area tidy, and took care to make sure the finishing touches were done properly. Another major advantage was that Ingenious General Construction was able to manage all aspects of the project through one company. We did not need to hire separate contractors for the turf, landscaping, shed, hardscaping, patio cover, or BBQ area, which made the entire experience much more convenient.
