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
