From our very first appointment with Gershon, we felt confident we were in excellent hands. He listened carefully to what we wanted, offered thoughtful design suggestions, and walked us through the process and timeline in a clear, transparent way. Every step—from initial design and planning to the finishing touches—was handled smoothly, with consistent updates so we always knew what was happening next. The crew that worked on our home was hard working, professional, and very knowledgeable. They arrived on time, respected our home, and kept the work area as tidy as possible, which we really appreciated. The finished kitchen looks fantastic and functions even better than we hoped and the quality of the workmanship really stands out. Friends and family have already commented on how beautiful and well thought-out the space is. We would not hesitate to hire GS Design & Build again for future projects. If you’re looking for a top-tier contractor for your home remodeling, GS Design & Build are an outstanding choice.

Expert Foundation Replacement in Los Gatos, CA
When a foundation is too far gone to repair, full foundation replacement is the right call. GS Design and Build works with homeowners in Menlo Park who are facing severe settling, cracking, or structural failure at the base of their home. Many homes across Menlo Park and the Peninsula were built decades ago and sit on aging concrete that has been worn down by the area's expansive clay soils. Those soils swell in wet winters and shrink in dry summers, putting steady pressure on foundations from below. Over time, that cycle can crack, shift, or buckle a foundation beyond what patching can fix. Our process starts with a thorough assessment of the damage and the soil conditions specific to your property. From there, we plan, excavate, and build a new foundation designed to hold up against the ground conditions your home actually sits on. We serve homeowners across Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Atherton, San Mateo, and the wider Bay Area. If your home is showing signs of serious foundation failure, contact GS Design and Build to get started.

Foundation Replacement FAQ
Common questions about foundation replacement in Los Gatos, CA.
Replacement is typically needed when the foundation has widespread cracking, severe settling, or structural failure that repair methods cannot stabilize. A professional assessment of your Menlo Park property will show whether the damage is isolated or systemic.
Doors and windows that no longer close properly, floors that slope noticeably, and large cracks running through walls or the foundation itself are common signs of serious failure. If multiple areas of your home show these problems at once, a full replacement evaluation is the right next step.
Whether you can remain in the home depends on the extent of the work and the condition of the structure during excavation. GS Design and Build will walk you through what to expect for your specific property before work begins.
Yes, the expansive clay soils across Menlo Park and Palo Alto require the new foundation design to account for soil movement and drainage. The assessment phase looks at your specific soil conditions so the replacement is built to handle them.
The existing structure is supported throughout the excavation and replacement process to protect walls, framing, and finishes. GS Design and Build plans each project to minimize disruption to the parts of your home that are not being replaced.
Yes, GS Design and Build serves homeowners across Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Atherton, San Mateo, Burlingame, Redwood City, San Jose, and surrounding Peninsula and South Bay communities. Contact us to confirm service for your specific address.
