Hometelligent Inc

We can’t say enough good things about Hometelligent. Our home ended up needing a complete remodel that we were not expecting, and we were honestly extremely overwhelmed at the start. From the very beginning, Silvio and his crew brought clarity, professionalism, and confidence that made the entire process feel manageable. They took something stressful and made it so much easier every step of the way. They handled every phase of the work with outstanding quality and efficiency, and their attention to detail really showed. Communication was consistent, they finished ahead of schedule, and the job site was kept impressively clean the entire time. Every crew member treated our home with real care and respect. On top of all that, their pricing was fair and transparent, which gave us even more peace of mind. The finished result truly exceeded our expectations. We now have a home that feels solid, refreshed, and beautifully restored. We’re genuinely grateful for their hard work, integrity, and the way they supported us through a project we never saw coming. If you’re looking for a contractor you can trust with a major remodel, Hometelligent is the team to call. We would recommend them without hesitation.

Silvio and HomeIntelligent contracted to build an ADU for my elderly dad in our backyard, referred by Cottage, who had designed the ADU and procured initial documents.  The expected turnaround was estimated to be about 6 months.  However, our lot had unexpected issues, the major of which was a high water table.   Although we are uphill in Oakland, there are creeks running throughout the area, many undergrounded over the last 80 years or so. This necessitated re-doing the geo-tech surveys, completely redesigning the foundation, and creating new drainage on the plot for the building.  Of course this took more time and money than we'd planned for.  However, Silvio kept up with it all, through delays in shipments, rainstorms, our road being dug up by EBMUD and then later repaved by the city. And the solar company and PG&E seemed confused as to what could be done or had to be done before the other connecting tasks.  But eventually, the work was done, in large part thanks to Silvio's patience, and the perseverance of his teams, who were co-operative and efficient.  Particularly his finishing carpentry team was excellent in seeing an issue, pointing it out, suggesting a solution, and completing it quickly. We are very grateful to Silvio for his persistence and calm demeanor throughout, and my dad is happily living there now, dry, and able to meet his own needs.

Silvio and the Hometelligent team did a commendable job with our whopper of a project. Being novices to the home remodeling world, his guidance each step of the way was invaluable to us. He was quick and responsive to our questions, providing experienced recommendations when asked, and obliging us when we had our own ideas. What was originally supposed to be an add-on and renovation plan ended up needing to be even more complex. As expected, there were some surprises along the way, but Silvio worked with us to help keep costs to a minimum. His entire crew were skillful and efficient (a special shout-out to Sam), patiently accommodating us even as we flip-flopped with some decision-making. As our project progressed, we were told by many passersby about how impressed they were with the quality of their work. When all was said and done, we were elated to see our vision having been brought to life. We definitely recommend Silvio and the folks at Hometelligent to anyone who's in the market for a seasoned, trustworthy, and qualified contractor for any home construction needs.

Silvio Dobrovat is one of the best contractors I’ve ever worked with. He built our large and challenging accessory dwelling unit (ADU), and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Silvio’s professionalism and responsiveness stood out—he always kept us updated and quickly addressed every concern. His subcontractors were just as skilled and respectful, and the entire crew did top-quality work. Silvio even went above and beyond his responsibilities to help us solve complex issues with PG&E, which made things so much easier for us. He is extremely knowledgeable and gave us a fair price that never changed—no surprises. If you want an honest, reliable, and talented contractor for a big project, Silvio is the one. I recommend him without any hesitation!

This company deserves top marks for its fair pricing, flawless execution, and great team. Our home needed a major renovation and we solicited 3 bids (my husband is a real estate developer and was insistent that we go through a "professional" methodology.) Silvio's bid came in within the range of our budget, but more importantly, it was so much more detailed and thoughtful than the other contractors' bids. This assured us that Silvio really understood the project and took great care in thinking through the details from the get-go. You know the old adage, measure twice, cut once? Well this may as well be Silvio's mantra. Silvio worked incredibly well with our architect and even came up with solutions to a few issues that he identified regarding the design. The communication throughout the project was incredible and the execution was flawless on our home. I literally can't think of something they could have done better, and neither can my developer husband. The cherry on top is that multiple neighbors commented on how polite and courteous the entire crew had been throughout the project. They kept the area clean and the crew was so thoughtful on daily/weekly clean-up efforts. Finally, we also recently won the Piedmont design award in our community. Truly above and beyond.
