Hometelligent Inc. is a Bay Area residential design-build and general contracting company based in Albany, California. The company serves homeowners throughout Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, and San Francisco counties, delivering planning, permitting coordination, construction management, remodeling, additions, and specialty residential improvements.
Hometelligent is led by owner and California-licensed contractor Silvio Dobrovat, whose family construction background spans more than three decades and whose leadership has guided the business since 2000. Hometelligent was incorporated in 2008 and operates with a focus on craftsmanship, clear communication, practical project planning, dependable coordination, and long-term value for homeowners.
The company specializes in accessory dwelling units (ADUs), including detached backyard cottages, attached ADUs, garage conversions, in-law suites, guest houses, multigenerational living spaces, rental units, and custom accessory structures. Hometelligent helps homeowners assess project feasibility, coordinate with designers and engineers, navigate permitting requirements, prepare sites, complete foundations and framing, install utilities, and build finished living spaces with kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, cabinetry, lighting, and exterior features. ADU projects can be designed for family members, aging parents, adult children, guests, home offices, rental income, or flexible long-term use.
Hometelligent also performs home additions and expansion projects, such as primary-suite additions, bedroom additions, bathroom additions, family-room expansions, living-room expansions, home offices, second-story additions, garage additions, mudrooms, laundry rooms, walk-in closets, and connected multigenerational suites. The company manages the complexity behind these projects, including design coordination, structural requirements, construction sequencing, permits, inspections, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC coordination, finishes, and integration with the existing home.
For interior renovations, Hometelligent provides kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, whole-home renovations, older-home modernization, historic-home restoration, layout reconfiguration, open-concept living conversions, wall removal, structural remodeling, flooring upgrades, custom cabinetry, countertops, tile, lighting, fixtures, doors, trim, millwork, built-ins, and finish carpentry.
Kitchen work may include cabinet installation, islands, pantries, countertops, backsplashes, appliance coordination, plumbing upgrades, lighting improvements, and functional layout redesign.
Bathroom projects may include primary bathrooms, guest baths, powder rooms, custom showers, tub-to-shower conversions, curbless showers, vanity installation, tilework, fixtures, ventilation, accessibility improvements, and water-efficiency upgrades.
The company’s specialty work includes fine carpentry, finish carpentry, custom built-ins, custom shelving, window seats, bookcases, entertainment centers, fireplace surrounds, interior trim, crown molding, wainscoting, decorative millwork, closet build-outs, and custom storage solutions. Hometelligent also provides window, skylight, and glazing work, including replacement windows, energy-efficient windows, custom window installations, patio doors, French doors, sliding glass doors, skylights, custom glass, shower glass, glass railings, and related framing or trim work. Public contractor profiles associate the company with California General Building and Glazing licensing.
For exterior and outdoor-living projects, Hometelligent builds custom decks, multi-level decks, hillside and elevated decks, deck replacements, deck repairs, stairs, railings, composite or wood decks, covered deck areas, patios, pergolas, shade structures, outdoor kitchens, built-in grill areas, pizza ovens, outdoor bars, outdoor dining spaces, and backyard entertainment areas. The company is particularly suited to Bay Area properties where sloped sites, outdoor connections, weather exposure, space limitations, and structural requirements call for thoughtful planning and experienced construction execution.
Hometelligent also supports property restoration and repair work, including water-damage restoration, dry-rot repair, wood-rot repair, structural repair, framing repair, deck repair, window and skylight repair, siding and trim repair, older-home improvements, and exterior restoration. Sustainable and energy-conscious options may include energy-efficient windows, daylighting through skylights, insulation and air-sealing improvements, water-efficient fixtures, low-VOC materials, and practical material choices intended to support comfort, durability, indoor air quality, and long-term operating efficiency.
The Hometelligent process is designed to take homeowners from an early idea to a completed project. Services can include consultations, feasibility review, budgeting, design-build planning, architectural and engineering coordination, permit coordination, construction scheduling, material-selection support, trade management, onsite supervision, quality control, final walkthroughs, and completion support. Rather than functioning as a limited-scope repair provider, Hometelligent is positioned for larger, multi-trade residential projects that require careful coordination, construction expertise, and a single accountable contractor from beginning to end.
Hometelligent has an A+ BBB rating, though it is not BBB Accredited, and public profiles list California contractor license no. 935175. The business has received historical recognition including a 2014 Best of Houzz award and prior Diamond Certified recognition. Its Houzz profile also displays a 5.0-star rating based on 59 reviews in current results. These credentials, combined with the company’s long operating history and Bay Area project focus, support its positioning as a trusted contractor for homeowners considering ADUs, additions, major remodeling, custom carpentry, outdoor living improvements, glazing, restoration, and energy-conscious residential construction.
