    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.

    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.

    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 !!

    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.

    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.

We followed up with a visit to the store 2 weeks later where we chose a slab for the countertops as well as the specific cabinets (both material and design) that we wanted. Martha has been our Design Consultant with the occasional assistance of Angel who has also been great. After some delays during the Christmas Holidays, the materials were delivered and installed. The installers, Ricardo, Tom, Girardo and others did a very good job. We opted for outside fabrication which cut down on much of the dust. The price was reasonable. The store also carries flooring and cabinet accessories. We put the home on the market and prospective owners are very pleased with the new updates.

How could they let a warped slab like this out for install ? The installers told us that Granite Depot knew that it was warped, the installers knew it as well. This slab was stored vertically in a bin separate from all the others like they had been trying to get rid of it. It had several strips of green tape attached that we were told indicated "cracks". We were told that with our measurements they could work around them. After many, many unanswered phone calls we eventually got the owner to come see for himself. He said "Ya, it's really warped" "like a potato chip". They finally offered to replace that slab, but after spending a week vacuuming and dusting our home after the first install we said they should compensate us for the warped slab instead. (The installers cut out the openings for the stove and sink IN OUR KITCHEN and used a little vacuum with no attachments that did very little). Granite Depot said " Well, we already discounted the slab. NO, they discount the slab because it was cracked, not because it was warped. They refuse to budge.

The company under this new upper management only cares about collecting their payments, not about quality work and customer service. PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE AND BE HAPPY WITH YOUR KITCHEN!!! I contracted with them to reface my kitchen, and I have the following issues: * The cabinets do not match the bases. They even agreed with me and asked me for a paint bid, but then decided that they do match. * The laminate on the bases is already delaminating and it hasn't been a year, in some cases hasn't even been a month * Poor quality parts were knowingly used for warranty work, which resulted in them telling me they would need to come back before they ever even finished. At this point, I think the poor quality workmanship and use of broken materials is intentional. Additionally, they make it very difficult to get work done in the afternoon, as they state they only work until noon. See attached: Statement of information that details the change in management that took place January 2025 Screen Shot from CSLB License Board detailing that their license (639021) is subject to cancellation if a new qualifying person is not replaced by 4/2/25. Screen shots of emails for them requesting a paint bid and then stating that everything matches. Text messages with the now CEO and CFO detailing that installers only work 5 am to noon.

They are a nice family business, and they have seamless coordination between the designer, cabinet installer, and stone installer.

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.
