    We talked with three different companies to remodel our two bathrooms. We wanted the entire bathrooms redone and CALbath San Diego was the only company that did everything that we wanted done. The other two companies only did tub and shower areas and we would need to find other contractors to complete the other work that we wanted done. We selected CALbath because there price was reasonable for all of the work that we wanted done including new bathtub and shower acrylic wall systems, toilets, vanities, vanity tops and sinks, flooring, and painting. We talked to Steve Lass at the San Diego Home Show about all of the work that we wanted done. After Steve's in-home visit to take measurements and discuss in more detail what we wanted he provided us with costs estimates for each of the bathrooms. We visited their showroom in San Diego and made some refinements to what we wanted. Steve was very responsive as well as providing a few recommendations. It took approximately 3.5 days to complete each of the bathrooms, including demo, installation, painting and finishing. We had two different teams with the same lead person (Nestor) dong the work in each of the bathrooms. All of the workers were courteous, friendly, and worked well together as a team. The work areas were kept clean during the work as well as at the end of the day before they left. We were available to answer any questions they had during the work. Traffic areas through the house were covered with a tarp to keep the area clean. We are very satisfied with both of our bathrooms and would recommend CALbath San Diego for bath remodels.

    We had 4 companies come to our house to give us quotes for our master bath and downstairs powder room. Steve Lass showed up on time and knew his stuff! I would say," this is what I want", and he would say, "we can do that, but take a look at this, I think you'll really like it". Darned if he wasn't right 99% of the time! I learned quickly to listen to him. I really appreciated that he listened and interpreted what I wanted. After the initial home visit, Steve invited us to the showroom, where we met him the following week. It was so much fun (for me) to see the little bathrooms they had put together. We went through the options we had discussed and I was so excited! The reason I said earlier Steve was only right 99% of the time was because of the 'Barn style twin bypass shower slider door with exposed rails and rollers' that I didn't know I NEEDED till I saw it in showroom!! So, I guess he gets 100% after all . Speaking of 100%... make sure Izzy is the one they schedule to do your work. Izzy knows his stuff. He is polite, thoughtful, respectful and damn good at his job. If I had questions or concerns he addressed them immediately and took care of everything. I thought I'd be stressed out with people in the house, or from having to move my stuff, but Izzy made that a non issue for me. I knew at the end there would be a Punch List of items that needed to be tweaked or fixed, happily it was two minor things, also there was a door casing that the home builder butchered originally, Izzy said he could fix it. Steve got us a price and we're getting that fixed too!! Hopefully from this review you can tell I am really happy with CalBath and pleased with the work they did and the service they provided. Highly recommend !!

    a bathtub and shower in a bathroom

    CalBath Renovations completely transformed my shower and bath from a dated look to a stylish and functional room. It began with Steve Lass helping us to decide on the finishes and fixtures. We felt like we could really trust Steve. He was straightforward in explaining the options and did not have a high pressure sales approach. He helped us to develop a plan within our budget. I was also particularly impressed with the technicians, Israel and Uriel. They were skilled technicians and were also exceedingly courteous. They took great care in insuring that their work had no impact on other areas. Each day they summarized the work done that day and the plan for the coming days. The job was finished within the expected time frame. The results are amazing. We are very happy with the outcome.

    CALbath replaced everything in my bathroom except my toilet! I had them convert my bathtub/shower into a shower enclosure and all of my cabinets and counters including adding double sinks and duel lights. Steve Lass took what I envisioned for my new bathroom and made it happen! Since we chose to do this remodel right at the start of COVID 19, CALbath kept me informed every step of the way. Steve informed me from the beginning about the lead time that would be required for the materials so I knew what to expect. Gabby (from the office) would call me throughout the waiting period to let me know that they were still waiting on the materials. Once the materials were all in, they were able to schedule the installation within a couple of days. Israel, the installer, arrived on time every day, with his mask on and following all the COVID 19 protocol. He put paper on our wood floors to protect them and put up a plastic sheeting wall to protect our master bedroom.. He cleaned up the work site everyday and finished the job ahead of schedule. He was very patient with all of my questions and did amazing work. The person who did the patching and painting also did great work! It looks like my bathroom has been this way from the beginning. Thank you CALbath, Steve, and Israel for everything!

    We recently convert our shower/tub into a walk-in shower. Our Estimator Steve Lass had very good recommendations and worked closely with entire work. His coworker did excellent job and professional. We are so happy that we found CalBath. Recommend to you all!

    Corastone shower enclosure with low profile base.
    Lou F.

    CALbath replaced my old fiberglass shower enclosure with a Corastone enclosure. The new enclosure is beautiful and transformed my bathroom into a clean, modern style. The new enclosure is the same size as the old one but seems much more spacious. CALbath kept me informed every step of the way. Their professional installers arrived on time, put protective plastic sheets on the floor from the door to the bathroom and covered furniture. They cleaned up the work site everyday and finished the job on schedule. AMAZING! The Corastone material is totally awesome, looks great, and is easy to clean. I hate grout lines and was looking at solid granite slab walls but that was a lot more expensive. The Corastone is a man made material similar to quartz. The coolest feature is the "low profile" shower pan base (extremely heavy) which is made from the same stuff and is rock solid. It's only 2.5-inches tall compared to my old shower base (6.5-in). It makes the room seem larger.

    Overall very happy with our shower / bath remodel. We had Corastone material installed - it is a Travertine-like man-made material, for a fraction of the cost of real Travertine marble. Looks awesome! SUCCESSES Final result looks amazing! With the very attractive Corastone material and new Moen fixtures it is the bathroom of our dreams! Great workmanship and patience by (Israel) the installer and his assistant. Steve Lass, the sales and project manager was very patient, gracious, and flexible, which made some of the rough spots of the project get smoothed out. Cost -- The CalBath cost and value, was much better out of about 10 other companies we interviewed or got quotes from, including Bath Fitters on the low end cost, some bathroom re-modelers in the middle cost, and Loews and several General Contractors on the high end cost. DIFFICULTIES Some rough spots in the project including several delays and communications issues that could have been prevented. As professional process consultants me and my wife offered some improvement recommendations to CalBath, which they received graciously. SUMMARY A satisfied customer. We used CalBath at our condo previously for bathroom refinishing, and now at our house for bathroom remodeling. They are highly recommended!

    I had Calbath completely redo my hall bathroom. A new bathtub and surround, beautiful cabinets and a quartz counter. Steve was very helpful in helping me figure out want I wanted and Israel and his helpers did an excellent job of installing, keeping me informed every step of the way. Work wasn't started until all materials were in so there wasn't any delays which was very important for me as I had had a bad experience with another company. I would definitely recommend Calbath.

    Prefab Granite Depot - Quartz countertops with waterfalls always give you a smooth transition

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but after years of frustration with Prefab Granite Depot, I feel…read morecompelled to share my experience. I hired them to install a waterfall-style counter back in June 2021. Barely a year later, the waterfall cracked for no clear reason. They came out again in July 2022 to repair it, but the job was subpar. I noticed that between the waterfall backing and the side of the cabinet. It wasn't flush at all. Which I'm assuming that it allowed the water fall to slide inward more than 90 degrees, thus putting strain at the joint. But I am not a professional installer. It took them until August 22, 2022, to actually address this crack and I was assured the issue wouldn't happen again, however nothing was done to fill the gap with sub board to prevent inward movement of the granite. Unfortunately, it did again crack. A third crack appeared on April 22, 2023. I reached out multiple times via email and phone, only to be completely ignored. No callbacks, no emails, nothing from their receptionist or customer service team. Then, in May 2025 -- the worst-case scenario happened -- the waterfall slab literally fell off the counter. It nearly injured my child, grazing his arm as it collapsed. This wasn't just poor workmanship; it was dangerous. I've given them multiple chances over the years to make this right, but the lack of accountability and disregard for customer safety is unacceptable. I would never recommend this company to anyone if this is still their current practice and to avoid at all costs.

They take no responsibility for their mistakes and will say all the problems are because of your house.

They reluctantly came out 3 times to attempt to fix their mistakes and my counters still aren't close to being even. Don't waste your time or money. They should be reported to the better business bureau.

The job took a bit of time to complete because the installer only works half days, but I easily overlooked that because I cared more that the job was done right. After completion I realized the cabinet face frames were not covered in any laminate material. They were left bare leaving the wood exposed and prone to damage. When I finally got in contact with Lynn (first I messaged Tom and I believe Glen(?) with no response) she stated that face frames are considered a part of the interior cabinet which is not included in their refacing process and that the refacing only includes exterior surfaces. My question is, If this was not included in the process, then why remove the old face frame material, only to leave the wood bare. If refacing the frame was not included, then don't remove what is currently there, especially if the cabinets are being refaced the same color. Furthermore, the old face frames on those particular cabinets were still in good condition. This makes no sense to me and I simply cannot recommend this company with such lack of morality and care.

They are a nice family business, and they have seamless coordination between the designer, cabinet installer, and stone installer. You won't run into a situation where gaps are left between subcontractors. 2. There were no hidden fees or unreasonable change orders. The final price was exactly what was initially quoted. 3. We chose Dekton for the countertop, which is fabulous but also known to be harder to fabricate and install. Our countertop was so masterfully completed; the grain patterns all matched up and fit together perfectly. 4. Marlene, the cabinet designer, has vast knowledge of products on the market, which gives her the capability to create ideas for non-standard options. 5. Carlos and the cabinet installers, were so multi talented, they did custom carpentry work per customer's wish, and also electrical connections and drywall finish, all with good quality. 6. Celia, the schedule controller had clear communication for the timeline, no over promise, all realistic, no back and forth changes, which makes it easy for the customers to plan their schedule around the construction. Overall, I wanted to highly recommend SD Cabinets and Stone to potential customers.
