a kitchen with a large island

We recently closed on a home in March and were looking to get our kitchen and 2.5 baths remodeled before moving in. This was our first time hiring out a contractor to take on this kind of job. Stephen was available on a Friday afternoon to answer questions and followed up promptly over the weekend with a rough estimate for us to work with. After meeting with a few other remodeling companies and taking time to decide, we went with AE for their price point, ability to start and complete the project within our timeline and attentiveness from both Stephen and Jenny. I appreciate Jenny's can-do attitude, her attention to detail and care for us from the start of the project to the end. AE's crew works quick and we are generally happy with the quality of construction but as other reviews have mentioned, you should also do your part in looking over fit and finishing and double checking build quality throughout the process. I noticed a small water leak in our master bathroom while the crew was rebuilding the sink and Jenny had sent her crew during off hours to double check at 10pm even though I had assured her I had cleaned and contained the leak. AE was able to complete the project within 10 weeks, working around two other vendors we went with for flooring and painting. The quote we got from AE for flooring and painting was on the higher side so we decided to contract these out to help keep within budget. In all, thank you to Jenny, her team and the trust they have built with us throughout this project. The end result is stunning and I would recommend and would consider them again for future projects of similar scope.

Needed to remodel my 2 bathrooms because some bad renters let water seep through the corners of the tile floor. Got so bad the floor started to lift and reek. Called AE kitchen and they were able to remodel my whole bathroom and even convert the bath to a stand shower, and convert the single sink to a dual sink. Super friendly and fairly affordable as well!!

AE has a unique model for doing house renovations. Since they work with their own vendors, their timeline for finishing a project is much faster than other contractors. Stephen, who is the first person you interact with at their store, is great and very friendly to begin the interaction. One thing we liked about them is that they give you their quote up front. The other renovation companies we talked to came to the house, gave a sell speech and only an estimate of the work. AE's quote was actually on the expensive side considering the other companies include design consultation along with the permits. The major pro however is the time taken for the project. Since they work with their own vendors, they get their materials quickly and can move pretty fast without permits. This also means fewer choices and the customization options are limited. This shouldn't be a concern since they have a reasonably good number of options. If you are someone who has a hard time visualizing how the different items will come together without a 3D mockup, you might want to take that into account. We also got quotes from Made renovation and Made was about 20% cheaper, but we went with AE since we wanted to renovate our kitchen along with a few other general house stuff. They did perform some works in the house as complimentary which probably makes up for the price gap. Jenny, who is the project manager, was very accommodating with our requests and understood any concerns or setbacks. Our appliances kept getting delayed and Jenny's team were able to wait for us and schedule accordingly. We started planning the renovation before we had moved into the house. We didn't realize some of the quirks before-hand like the placement of switches. I brought it up to Jenny if they could accommodate it and she was able to get it done. Jenny can remember many things, but this would give me anxiety because I wasn't sure if all my requests would be recorded. So I had to balance not being obnoxious vs making sure our requests were considered. There probably could be a better project management system so that everyone knows what's done and what's left to be done. Jenny made good suggestions like changing the door casing to match everywhere and not look odd for only the doors that were changed. They move fast, so I would recommend being ready with all the finish products in hand. They also clean up pretty well. While they do good work about 95% of the time, there was a little lack of attention to detail in the final finishes. I think another recent review also mentions the same. You have to be on top of things if you notice things that are off. This wasn't a big deal for me, since I was able to fix them up myself after some learning through Youtube videos. One issue we discovered after the work was complete was that the electrical circuits for the kitchen outlets and lights had been crossed (this was a violation of an electrical code). We initially didn't know if this issue existed before AE had done the work. An electrician quoted us $1000 and above depending on the amount of time they would have to spend to tracing the wires. Instead I went around the house tracing connections with a circuit breaker finder tool and found the issue behind a kitchen outlet. It seemed like an honest mistake, although I had to spend 10 hours debugging the connections. I would probably remove 1/2 a star for attention to detail. The only other concern was their quotes for electrical stuff seem to be on the higher side. We only got it done where it was really essential and I would recommend postponing any other electrical work that can be done at a later point. Overall I do recommend them. I don't think you will ever find a perfect contractor, every one has their pros and cons. You can evaluate who suits your situation the best.

We did our kitchen remodel with AE Kitchen. We had little idea about what materials to choose and which pattern to go with. One of our neighbor referred us to Jenny. Jenny came to our house, did all the measurement and gave us 4 to 5 different layouts. We also went to her shop to choose material and patterns. She is very friendly, willing to listen, give us enough time, answered all the questions we had, suggested all the different patterns that we can go with. Her prices are very reasonable. After we finalized the contract with her, she gave us the estimate of 10 days to complete the job. However we were very impressed with her team. They were able to get the job done in 5 days. During these 5 days we were able to use our stove as well. That was very kind of her. Their team also made sure everything was clean before they leave for the day. After the entire job was done, we noticed that our kitchen fuse was not able to handle the load since we moved our microwave and fridge to the same fuse. She had her electrician come over to take a look and provide recommendation. She made sure to address the issue by re-wiring the socket for the fridge. She also fixed couple of broken items in our house for free which saved us calling an handyman. She did a follow-up with us after a week to make sure everything was working as expected and we are satisfied. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and I will give all the future home projects to her.

Update of my previous review. Jenny and her Crew went above and behold to diagnosis the problem. Even after they found out it wasn't the plumbing problem , they still went ahead and took care of the problem even though it has been over 3 years . Would I recommend AE Kitchen to my friends? Definitely Yes! It's truly nice to know there still some Ethical businesses around. Thanks for your Professionalism Jenny and Crew!

Nice new good and stove and subway tile backsplash.

AE did a nice job on our bathroom, so we asked them to do our kitchen a few years later. They were fast and did a great job. Our kitchen is bigger with more storage and countertop space. Jenny was attentive to our wants and needs. They took care of little things that were big to us. They gave us a kitchen to be proud of.

Overall the experience was very good; Elijah and Bryan were super friendly and responsive. Eli was very patient and accommodating as we discussed several different potential change orders, from new windows to painting, to other misc. things that popped up. Bryan Luna was especially a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail and proactivity to solve any little thing I mentioned was definitely the highlight of working with Prime. Their contracted electrician, Hector, was great as well. I also think they did a great job building out a cabinet to fit our freezer next to the matching fridge. Their master carpenter managed to salvage our existing wood to make it match perfectly. Definitely better than what I'd expect from even a carpentry specialty contractor. I will mention that it wasn't without some snags. Prime deals in volume so they're very busy. I think because I had delays in sourcing a freezer I ended up not getting a dedicated project manager for some time. We had timeline issues made worse with holidays. This caused cascading delays which inevitably pushed back my move in date a few weeks. When I finally did get a new project manager, they ghosted me (later on I found out they had a family emergency). Eli had to step in again to help. Another thing is that their pricing is quite opaque. The estimate will break down prices by milestones, but they repeated told me that it's not a valuation of the milestone itself. This made it nigh impossible to understand if I wanted to contract out specific pieces of the project (e.g. flooring). Design was OK. I felt that the designer was very busy. Sometimes very responsive (5min replies), sometimes not responsive at all (no reply). I wish I had a better, more thorough back-and-forth session about the intricacies of the design. But we made do. Ultimately, the designer made a render and helped point us to some vendors, but from there we had to make our own selection alone (cabinets, handles, pendant lights, faucets, etc.). I did appreciate her presence when we picked out countertops, though. All in all, I think this was a 4.5 star job, but I'm rounding to 5 because of Eli and Bryan :)

There have been multiple unresolved issues with the quality of work and follow-through. One example is an LED light that continues to flicker. It has been more than six months, with many calls and text messages, but the issue still has not been fixed. Another example is damage to our garage cabinet, where a hole was created during the work. We are still waiting for this to be repaired as well. Overall, the lack of timely resolution and poor communication after the project has been extremely frustrating.

(141 reviews)

We engaged Jay Construction Company for a large-scale home remodeling project that encompassed…read morenearly every major living space in our house. The scope included a complete renovation of the kitchen, master bathroom, family room wet bar, and powder room, along with extensive upgrades to electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, flooring, drywall, and interior painting throughout a two-story home. Project Scope & Timeline The project spanned approximately nine months, from Q3 2025 through Q1 2026. This included: * 2.5 months for contractor selection and contract negotiation * 2 months for permit application * 3 months for construction and implementation * 1.5 months for finalizing the paperwork and permit status Jay and his team handled the permit application process and completed the construction phase on schedule and within budget. Notably, change orders were kept under 5% of the total contract value, which is commendable given the project's complexity. Overall Assessment Jay Construction delivered solid results in terms of execution, cost control, and quality. While there were some challenges--particularly around communication and project management--issues were generally resolved in a collaborative and reasonable manner. Based on our experience, we assign an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars. One important consideration for future clients: Jay manages multiple projects simultaneously and may not always be readily available. Homeowners who are willing to stay actively involved--especially in communication and coordination--will likely have a smoother experience. ======================================= Detailed Breakdown by Work Category 1. Electrical Work (9/10, weight 20) Handled by a licensed team (Caesar & his team, Alpha Valley Electric), the electrical work was efficient and well-coordinated. Rough and finish phases were completed in a day each, with additional visits for inspection fixes. High marks for responsiveness and execution. 2. Plumbing Work (8/10, weight 20) The plumbing contractor (Mark) demonstrated strong attention to detail. While this area generated the most change orders due to unforeseen issues with existing piping, problems (including two leaks) were addressed promptly and professionally. 3. Carpentry (9/10, weight 20) * Kitchen Cabinetry & Ventilation (9/10, weight 15): Kornei & team, high-quality installation with complex ventilation work executed to code. * Wet Bar Cabinetry (9/10, weight 5): Viktor, excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail. 4. Countertop Installation (8/10, weight 10) Mario & his team of three. Quartz countertops were installed cleanly across multiple areas, with good overall results. 5. Master Bathroom Renovation (9/10, weight 10) Viktor. This portion stood out for its quality. Waterproofing, Wall & Floor tile work, and fixture installation were all completed to a high standard. 6. Flooring (9/10, weight 20) Navruz Flooring, team of 3. Luxury vinyl plank flooring and Baseboards were installed throughout the home, including stairs. The results were consistent and professionally finished. 7. Drywall & Painting (Mixed Results, weight 20) * Initial Work (6/10, weight 10): Ali & team. Drywall texture quality was below expectations, though painting was acceptable. * Redo Work (9/10, weight 5): Smart Painting. After concerns were raised, Jay allowed us to bring in an alternative team (paid with contract dollars), which significantly improved the outcome. * Final Touch-Ups (9/10, weight 5): VitaIy and Viktor. Excellent work. 8. Demolition & Debris Removal (8/10, weight 10) Dimitri (Kitchen, Mater Bath), Vladimir & his team (Rest of the project including all carpet, hardwood floor removal). Efficient and thorough across all phases of the project. 9. Permits & Inspections (7/10, weight 10) While Jay managed the process, we found it necessary to stay actively involved to resolve delays and clarify requirements with the building department. All inspections were ultimately passed, including final approval after two rounds. 10. Project Management & Communication (6/10, weight 20) This was the weakest area. Jay's limited availability meant we took on a more hands-on role--coordinating finished products and rough materials with subcontractors, and helping manage dependencies. That said, Jay was consistently fair and solution-oriented when issues arose, and worked with subcontractors to resolve dependencies. Final Verdict Jay Construction Company is a capable contractor that delivers good quality work at a reasonable cost and timeline. Their subcontractors are generally skilled and reliable, and the company demonstrates flexibility when addressing problems. However, the experience benefits significantly from active homeowner involvement, particularly in communication and day-to-day coordination. If you are prepared to take on that role, Jay Construction can be a strong partner for a comprehensive home renovation project.

Jay was very professional and worked with me to achieve the ideal kitchen I wanted. During the remodel process, Jay brought creative and innovative solutions and worked hands on to accomplish that.

I will highly recommend Jay to anyone who is looking to renovate their home and I will definitely hire Jay for my next home project without a second thought. Thanks Jay!

All prior interior work in our house had been done by handyman. I really appreciated the communication from our project manager Marc. He created a WhatsApp chat with me and the incredible designer Jocelyn. They were both consistently responsive to any of my questions or concerns -- and opened my mind to design options. Jocelyn spent time in our home, drafted plans, took me shopping, and sourced all the fixtures. From her spreadsheet I was able to find less expensive options for some items. I appreciated the input and control I had on these expenses. Since we needed to move out, I had a tight timeline for the project -- mid October until Thanksgiving. Marc and the team did their best despite City of San Jose delays with inspections. We were able to move back in before the final inspection. Every member of the team was kind and courteous. Marc also did a great job working with the window vendor that specializes in older homes. I'm rating the experience a 4.5 out of 5 for two reasons. I was disappointed that the medicine cabinet, switch plates, and hooks were initially installed unevenly (it was corrected). I expected more attention to detail. And I was disappointed in the wear & tear that happened on my wood floors as well as the overall dust in my dining room. I was warned that things would get dusty -- but didn't understand the extent and would have packed away more things. WISE offers lots of support with design -- they could also offer as part of their package a full cleaning! I offer this feedback to help others calibrate their expectations. Overall it was a positive experience. I waited several months to post this review until I returned from travel and could see how things were settling after regular use. I'm loving the new bathroom and recommend WISE.
