From concept to execution, Juliana guided us through each step (floors, paint, hardware, furniture, lighting, etc.) and provided options and suggestions for each element along the way.

The house itself has a lot of the old charm that existed when the house was first built, and my partner and I wanted to maintain that while bringing a modern update to the bathroom. Our challenge was keeping it cohesive with the rest of the house, and Gina absolutely delivered. From ideation to execution, Gina was actively involved with consulting us, presenting samples, helping us triage supply chain issues, and tracking the progress of our remodel. When we didn't know what we wanted, Gina gave us options and color palettes and helped paint a picture of the potential of the room. She's very well connected within her industry and always had recommendations for everything from art to hardware. We had an incredible experience working with her team and can't wait to work with them again as we continue to make our house a home.

We spoke with several architects before choosing Gary to draw up the plans for our renovation in…read morethe Sunset of San Francisco. Gary was clearly the most experienced and he had a solid intuition for figuring out what the best possible layout would be. He made some great suggestions that we hadn't considered, such as the opportunity to enlarge our shower. We were on a tight deadline with a baby on the way; Gary was able to draft the plans and get them approved ahead of schedule. When I changed my mind on some details a few weeks later, Gary was able to quickly make the changes. We decided to handle the design aspects on our own, but from looking at his portfolio I'm sure he would have done a great job there as well. I would be happy to work with Gary again on a future project.

Gary was honestly a godsend!…read more He took on a very difficult project, and overcame several legal, structural, and regulatory obstacles, to bring my project to permit approval. The project was to renovate a 100+ year old, 3-story building, through the aforementioned obstacles, in a city as tough as SF - so it was no easy feat! Gary navigated working with multiple stakeholders: me, my partner, the structural engineer, and a multitude of government officials. He's a very good listener, so he quickly understood the project's direction and was able to provide ideas and brainstorm in a way that was easy and fun to work with him. He also knows the building, planning, and historical codes incredibly well - so his abilities to mix his knowledge with his skills of listening and brainstorming translated into coming up with super helpful and strategic SOLUTIONS to ensure compliance with codes that the city APPROVED. I also enjoyed having healthy debates with him. As an opinionated home-owner who actually knows nothing about codes, I had opinions that he -very professionally- told me were not accurate, which I was incredibly appreciative of. When I was wrong, he offered his expertise in a humble and tactful way, and made me see that the route I thought to take may not be the best route. Knowing you're working with someone smart, knowledgeable, capable, emotionally intelligent, strategic and who can help steer you in the right direction was so incredibly valuable. Also - and this one is especially important - when he said he'd do something, he did it, by the date promised, and with great attention to detail. If you have the opportunity to work with Gary, do it; I promise you won't be disappointed!

Initially, we…read morevisited Gilman Kitchens simply to gather ideas for a future kitchen renovation, as we were not yet ready to begin. However, after our first meeting with Manon Demers, we decided to move forward with the remodel. We came in with some ideas of our own--such as navy blue lower cabinets with white upper cabinets--and Manon was able to enhance our vision by presenting excellent samples and offering thoughtful, practical guidance. She visited our home before demolition, helped us visualize cabinet and appliance placement, and prepared detailed plans for the project. We relied heavily on Manon's expertise for the cabinetry and countertops, while selecting our own appliances, cabinet hardware, lighting, and wall treatments. The project planning began in June and was completed by the end of October. Working with Manon was a pleasure throughout the entire process. She is knowledgeable, professional, and highly experienced. We are extremely pleased with the results and highly recommend Gilman Kitchens and Baths for anyone seeking a beautiful, well-executed kitchen remodel.

The 2024 remodel of my San Rafael home was the largest home construction project I have attempted,…read moreand this is my 4th house. I am a certified Project Manager and licensed Mechanical Engineer, so I know what good project execution looks like. MKC is the best residential contractor I have worked with in my 30 years of home ownership. MKC employs a process with heavy emphasis on planning the work up front followed by quality execution by the craftsmen. Scott (owner of MKC) honestly strives to land each project with the highest quality work done at a reasonable price. My project was mainly to remodel a kitchen and master bathroom. Additionally, we removed two walls (one load bearing), replaced 1/2 the house windows, addressed two different legacy structural issues, replaced fireplace, all interior doors, all baseboard and trim, all flooring and about a dozen other upgrades (add ceiling fans, add additional door, replace garage door header, toilet in 2nd bath, etc.). Basically, I received a new house. The work was completed in a little over 4 months as planned adding time for the new scope and structural issues. The cost was as expected. MKC costs were nearly exact to expected. Material costs were higher than planned due to our selection of materials vs assumed. The quality of the work was outstanding whether it was by MKC employees or subcontractors. I highly recommend the MKC team for a kitchen or major home remodel.

They have a great sense of design and color and they are a family own business. I really recommend them. It was also nice to have someone understand our budget and try to help. I have PTSD from others doing bad, work or being lazily and unfair. I can honestly say it was a pleasure working with them. Of course we had normal problems that had nothing to do with them but they were patient and understanding. We Interviewed 4 different companies and no one was interested in us unless we could spend our life savings.
