Fremont is a gem. The city has a rich history that dates back to the eighteenth century, when the Mission San José was founded. The city, clearly, is also invested in the technological future that the San Francisco Bay Area is giving to the country – and the planet – right now. More than a thousand tech firms operate in Fremont, and Elon Musk’s cutting edge company Tesla operates a factory there.

A recent study conducted by WalletHub ranks Fremont as the nation’s happiest city, and it’s easy to see why: its suburban atmosphere makes everyday life delightful, while granting access to one of the most exciting metropolitan areas in the world. Residents live in a well-planned city, and the striking Colonial and French-style homes evoke the best of historic California.

You will find, on this curated list, the fifteen best general contractors in Fremont. These firms have the experience and expertise to renovate a historic Bay Area home, and they can design build a home to meet the latest in green-building standards. Fremont is a great place to call home, and these home builders are the reason.

Amos Tamam’s 22 year-old company serves both Northern and Southern California through offices in Fremont and Northridge. Tamam’s 40-man team handles remodeling and general contracting jobs.

The firm focuses on contemporary and modern styles of homes. Bold and straightforward structures go hand-in-hand with an asymmetrical facade. Neutral and Earth tones blend the homes into the California landscape.

And their exemplary landscaping highlights the California terrain that shapes these gorgeous homes.

13) Lemon Remodeling

437 W San Carlos St, San Jose, CA 95110

Lemon Remodeling is a general contractor based in San Jose, but maintains a significant presence in Fremont. The company knows the neighborhoods of the Northern California Bay Area on both architectural and social levels. They developed a referral program that invites previous clients to tag their friends, family members, and neighbors, and this friendly approach has led to a broad, loyal community network that Lemon quite literally built.

Lemon loves minimalism. Large, vertical cabinets present simple but bold lines, and organize space stylishly. The kitchen island presents itself, simply, as a kitchen island, and the utensils that are exposed are the utensils that you actually use in day-to-day living. This is a kitchen for cooking meals, and that emphasis on simplicity is an aesthetic end unto itself.

12) Future Vision Remodeling

1999 S. Bascom Ave, San Jose, CA 95112

Future Vision Remodeling is a contractor and design-build firm that has been serving San Jose and the Bay Area for 14 years. Shawn and Roy Bendor incorporate multiple styles in their design.

The company builds posh, minimalist homes, and they create the personal through the ornamental. Featured below: a San Francisco signature home with an open floor plan. This simple layout expands your feeling of space. And that’s not just a feeling. The space also maximizes the practicality of the home as the owner can accommodate more people at once. Large glass doorways increase the appeal of the home as it blends the exterior and interior of the home.

The firm builds exceptional modern homes. Sharp lines and basic rectangular forms frame the bold facades.

Flat roofing and lean windows complete the modern theme of the home.

10) Shefer Builder

3599 Pennsylvania Ave, Fremont, CA 94536

The company deals in picturesque modern designs. High-quality marble and granite carve out the space, while sharp lines and untapered shapes frame that space with visual grace. The lavender accents and the soft lighting concealed on the back of the bathroom mirror, below, brings a balanced ambiance. Lavender shades complement, yet soften the masculine energy of the room. This design philosophy is evident in other works of Shefer Builder: sharp lines and minimalist ornaments provide a strong, mature style.

The company creates astonishing contemporary projects. Most of their works are characterized by the use of white. Other earth tones provide balance so that these gorgeous whites will not overpower the space. That color play is, in turn, further heightened by masterful stonework. In the featured work below, the company optimizes the shower through an engraved cubby hole. The drainage is also cleverly concealed through a thin metallic cover that runs horizontally through the shower. The unique wooden sink counter adds warmth to the space.

The company employs Traditional, Bungalow, and Colonial styles, all of which you can see in their thick portfolio. In a particular feature the firm tastefully remodeled a contemporary bathroom.

The firm is known for contemporary work. This home is accented by Cacti and California sagebrushes, and the slanting roof at the edge of the home gives a creative twist to the flat roofing. Large windows provide a contrast in texture from the wooden panels and layered brickwork, which allows natural lighting to lend ambiance to the home. A large chandelier adds flamboyance inside and outside the home. This home is a mysterious, inviting piece that blends into the stark California terrain.
