When we asked friends and colleagues for contractor recommendations for our renovations, nearly all of the feedback we received was about whom not to use. We ended up with a long list of contractors to avoid. In that sea of negativity, there was one shining recommendation: a student in my wife's class who had a very positive renovation experience referred us to Augustine at KBKoncept. We are so glad we gave him a call! We cannot say enough about the work Augustine and his team did in our home, which included kitchen and bathroom remodeling, flooring, electrical work, and painting. The craftsmanship was excellent, and his crew was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and consistently on time. They are some of the hardest-working people we have met, and the project was completed much faster than we thought possible. If you look at my review history, you'll see that I am not always the easiest to please. But when a job is done right, I believe in giving credit where it is due. This is absolutely one of those occasions. I wholeheartedly recommend Augustine and his team at KBKoncept for any construction or renovation project. read more

After interviewing a handful of general contractors and securing estimates from three of them, we selected KBKONCEPT Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling, Inc. to perform a down-to-the-studs renovation of our upstairs hall bath. From the beginning, KBKONCEPT's owner, Augustin Rusu, impressed us with a well-detailed work plan and matching estimate. His approach was flexible and allowed us to pick fixtures and finishes to suit our tastes. Augustin and each of his subcontractors performed their work efficiently and with a high degree of professionalism every step of the way during the project. The level of craftsmanship, particularly tilework, was remarkable throughout each stage of the project. Now that the job is finished, we are really pleased with how great the finished work looks and enjoy showing it off to visitors. We plan on using KBKONCEPT again and have recommended them without reservation to friends and family. 5 Star Work! read more

We hired KB Koncept to do a substantial remodel of our condo. We used them for a complete overhaul of our kitchen, our floors and bathroom, among other things. They were punctual when we made appointments, and were helpful in the planning process. They were also very flexible and understanding when things had to change as we got into the remodel. We also really appreciated their knowledge around rules in Laguna Woods. They were professional, friendly and courteous. We highly recommend them! read more

They work everyday and are very meticulous about their work. They were careful to mask everything and dust was minimal. This company does not sub contract. The owner has his own crew he works with and knows. We will definitely be hiring KBKONCEPT, Inc for any future remodeling. read more

Augustin and his crew are the best! He did a whole house remodel for us, kitchen, bathrooms, etc., a few years ago. Everything turned out beautiful! He listens to what you want and gave very good suggestions, that we hadn't thought about and made the remodel much better. Now, six years later, we have moved and need kitchen and bath remodeled. Augustin is who we will use, regardless of having to wait for him. His reputation for quality workmanship had made him in high demand. read more

Augustin and his crew remodeled my master bathroom a little over a year ago and we couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome! Everything has held up wonderfully. Augustin is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and reliable. I appreciated being able to ask his advice on so many things and getting honest, helpful answers. The work was done to the highest of standards and in a timely manner. The whole crew was professional and especially Paul with his craftsmanship that made the most of the marble materials we chose and the overall outcome. I would absolutely hire Augustin again and highly recommend him to anyone considering a remodel. read more

My wife and I moved to SoCal and purchased our house remotely and had KBKoncepts remodel the entire house. We met with Augustine only once, then maintained communications by phone and email. The work was done on time and within the original budget. We were extremely pleased with the quality, finishes, timing and the total cost of the job. Truly an honest and professional contractor. We would highly recommend KBConcepts. read more

We selected KBKoncept after getting bids from 3 suppliers. While Augustin was not the lowest priced, he is the one we felt most comfortable with. Let me say that we were never disappointed. The project was completed back in January, and I waited a while to see if I could complain about anything. The Kitchen and two bathrooms turned out wonderful. Augustin provided great suggestions to make things best. He was not afraid to tell us when our ideas were not ideal, but he was professional. He stayed on schedule, and we can only say great things about his entire team. If we ever have to remodel again, I wouldn't waste time, KBKoncept would be our first call. read more

We were introduced to Augustin by our realtor and were immediately impressed by his ability to assess the work that needed to be done and overcome obstacles that we hadn't realized. He remodeled most of the house including a new kitchen and bathroom. We found it easy to work with him, he was very professional and a perfectionist. The quality of his work was superb and he was able to deliver everything we wanted. Would definitely recommend his services. read more

Augustin/KBKoncept did a complete kitchen remodel for me, Feb 2019. Every detail, from the plans, permits and demolition to the final coat of paint was completed on time. He created a custom built pantry, saving 60% from the cost of a factory pantry. His workers were never late. Also, he responds to phone calls/texts with 15 minutes. Augustin is very easy to work with. He will accommodate changes during the project. With the extra material from the kitchen countertop, he was able to do a matching counter for the guest bathroom. I will use Augustin again without any hesitation. read more

We had seen the work that Augustin had done on a remodel of a friend's bathroom and were impressed with the high quality and attention to detail. Augustin responded to us in a timely manner and gave us a reasonably priced quote for our master bathroom remodel. I want to mention, too, that his quote was very clearly written so that we knew exactly what was included and what items we would be responsible for. (When the work was all done and we received our final invoice, there were no surprises.) Because he does good work, Augustin was busy, and we had to wait several weeks for our bathroom remodel to start. But Augustin kept in communication with us to let us know his timing. Once he started, he kept moving quickly on our job and didn't let it drag on, as I hear is common with this type of work. We were very happy with the quality of work that he did. He was knowledgeable and made sure that we were happy throughout the process. We love our new bathroom! I have no reservations in recommending him to others, and we will definitely hire him in the future when we have other work that needs to be done. read more

Augustin is an outstanding, and highly skilled contractor! Before meeting him I had read many contractor's reviews and never saw any that were as impressive as Augustin's reviews. He and his team of extremely talented men did an almost complete reconstruction of my condo. They turned my ordinary condo into a custom show place that I am very proud of. At our first meeting, when I heard Augustin's wonderful suggestions and advice, I knew he was the right contractor for my job. From the beginning to the end of the remodel, everything went smoothly and the results were far beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the very best contractor around. They won't be disappointed! read more

I want to recommend and give five stars for the kitchen & bathroom remodeling project KBKONCEPT completed recently in my Laguna Woods condo.

They work very clean, are very knowledgeable and detail oriented. They finished the job on time and I'm very pleased with the final outcome of the remodeling project. read more

To a 70 year old with very limited knowledge of "remodeling" woman owner, Augustin and company is professional, trustworthy, very pleasant and helpful! Highly recommended read more

Been almost 1 year since having my 2 bathrooms redone; everything still looked fantastic and as good as first day of installation. Not a single thing found out of place, or not done properly even after 1 full year. Just goes to show, if it is done properly the first time, you can rest assure, it will stay this way forever. I recently had Kbkoncepts do my final bathroom last month (waited 3 months for my turn since they are very booked 3 month in advance). Turned out exactly as expected, no surprises, no short cuts, and perfection job as i have expected from KBKoncepts. Robert, Paul both were fantastic, helpful, craftsman, considerate, patient, highly responsible. Augustin was also again helpful, from the quote process all the way through last day complete. Start day estimate and completion exactly as discussed. Thanks again Paul, Robert and Augustin. you guys really make all the headaches of finding a reputable contractor, and all the apprehensions of the job disappear from day one. Always doing the job the right way, never rushing, staying on time, and working 110% every day. U guys are fantastic and i cannot thank KBKOncept for the great job done! read more

The KBK team did it all, basically a total remodel of our condominium. Walls removed, new entrance, new kitchen and two new bathrooms. New lighting throughout. The guidance and suggestions from Augustin and his Team on the project, from design to purchases, were all absolutely spot on. The installation of our new appliances, cabinets, lighting, plumbing, bathroom showers, ceiling fans, exterior and interior doors, countertops were all expertly done. New floors were installed, new tile was installed in our atrium and the front door entrance was changed out entirely. Interior and exterior painting was accomplished including walls, ceilings and all of the new trim and crown molding. The project, including demolition and hazmat required work, was accomplished within all standards. This project was completed as promised and managed under the watchful eye of Augustin, who very conscientiously assured the cost of the project was maintained as agreed upon. The KBK Team communicated with us from the beginning to the end and invited us in during the project to see the progress, to discuss any issues and to ensure we were pleased with the work in progress. We could not have asked for a more responsible, knowledgeable or friendly Team to bring our dreams to reality. read more

KBKoncepts did a whole house remodel of my original condition Laguna Woods co-op. They handled everything from obtaining permits, managing the asbestos abatement, inspections, demo, plumbing, electric, tile work, etc. The whole team is professional, respectful, polite, kind and most importantly skilled workers with strong work ethics and attention to detail. Augustin was very patient when I changed my mind (many times). He made great recommendations and worked with me to get the outcome I wanted. The guys showed up on time, cleaned up at night and always let me know the plan for the next day. All work was done on time and in budget. My house is beautiful and it is because of Augustin and his guys. read more

We just completed our second project using KBKoncept. Augustin and his crew did a wonderful job remodeling our Jack and Jill-type bathrooms. Living in Laguna Woods, space is a premium, so we discussed our plans with Augustin and he and his crew created two beautiful bathrooms, complete with new electrical and plumbing, vanities, mirrors, two walk-in showers and a laundry area. We love this remodel! I rely on Augustin's experience in construction as well as design. Our showers came out beautifully thanks to Paul's creativity. Augustin suggested using metal edges to match many of our fixtures and lines. It looks great. Robert helped make the job well done and was always happy to answer our questions. I must add that QUALITY is what you get from KBKoncept. I have recommended them to many and they have been happy with their remodel. I trusted them so much that I allowed them to use a lock-box to enter the home when I wasn't in. Quality is what you get. Augustin knows the Village very well and handled all the permits, abatement and left our home clean. An inspector said he knew the contractor was Augustin because "his work is meticulous!" We were able to sit back and relax knowing our home was in good hands. I'm so happy we used them again after our 2016 kitchen remodel. I recommend highly. Unfortunately, there aren't 10 stars! read more

Very surprised! I requested Augustin for an estimate. We made an appointment, he never showed up or called back :(((( I guess that's it for me! read more

I am very pleased to recommend our contractor Augustin Russu of KB Koncept. We did a total renovation of our home, down to the studs, including rearranging the walls, adding new bathrooms, new doors, ceilings with recessed lighting, new kitchen, as well as intricate tile installation. Everything was done to perfection and he guided us every step of the way. This project could have been much more stressful, had it not been for Augustin. He was a pleasure to work with. His honesty, work ethic, patience, professional attitude, and exceptional skills, created a beautiful result. He was in command of every aspect, and with his superb crew Robert and Paul, did the most excellent job. I cannot recommend KB Koncept highly enough. read more

I recently purchased a serious fixer upper in Laguna Woods for my parents- gutted the master bath, re-did the 2nd bath, gutted and rearranged the kitchen along with several other things. I had heard nothing but horror stories from friends who had worked with contractors, but I have to say, Augustin and his crew at KBKoncept were a simple pleasure. They were polite, hardworking and skilled. I had never done such a large scale remodel and Augustin was patient and helpful. I kept throwing extra stuff at him as the project went on and even with all the extra stuff, our house was completed pretty much when he promised. When does that ever happen! Augustin did his best to find the lowest costs in the material and even beat the bids I had gotten directly from windows which I thought I would be able to do cheaper without going through Augustin. The neighbors were impressed at how hard working they were. (Something I couldn't tell since I wasn't there). For an inexperienced remodeler like me, it was very reassuring that I could text Augustin any day of the week, pretty much any time and I was able to get replies very quickly. He listened to what I wanted and found a way to make it happen or was straight with me on practicality. He gave me suggestions and made it easier for me to work on my personal projects there. After the first couple of weeks working with him, I trusted him to do the best for me. I consider myself very fortunate that my first remodel experience was perfect - I am now spoiled. I did the big reveal to my parents this week and my mother was teary from joy. read more

Augustin and his crew have just completed my bathroom remodel and it looks fantastic. I interviewed at least 5 contractors before opting for KB Koncepts for my job. I liked Augustin's confidence as he assured me I'd like the result. He's organized, creative and knowledgeable. Construction is always stressful but these guys make it as good as it can possibly be. I have no hesitation in recommending Augustin and his crew for your project. read more

Had KBKONCEPT demo and reconstruct two bathrooms. They handled everything from obtaining permits, abatement, demo, repiping & plumbing, electric, tile work, and reconstruction.

My mother purchased a home in Laguna Woods and the bath and kitchen were original from the 1960s. After interviewing several contractors, we selected Augustin at KBKoncept. Augustin's bid was not only reasonable, but he made good suggestions, listened and was very patient with my Mom who is in her 80s. He did a full kitchen remodel and partial bathroom remodel, demolition, flooring, granite counters, moulding, cabinets, and partially painted, all in about 7 days! Remarkable. He even came back a few times to install appliances that were delivered later, and installed shower head that my Mother could not install herself. He was very generous with his time, polite, detailed, and neat. He and his crew were showed up on time. When he had a scheduling conflict, he let us know and followed up with another time - then showed up. This is a remarkable and rare trait! Mom is very happy with her new place and loves Augustin! Thank you - we will use you again and recommend to anyone who asks. read more

We have used this company for several remodeling or repair jobs. They have installed laminate, done interior drywall repair, interior painting of walls and cabinets, remodeled our master and guest bathrooms, installed recessed lighting, rerouted some pipe after a slab leak, and probably a few more things I'm forgetting. We met and got quotes from about 6 or 7 contractors before beginning our first remodeling job. Augustin's quotes were very reasonable, and we felt he would be easy to work with (honest and pleasant). We were very glad we chose him. He is a very nice guy, and carefully supervises the work that is done. The workers have also been pleasant and professional. They always showed up when they were supposed to, and the jobs were always completed on time. We were very pleased with how our first renovation went (laminate installation, and a guest bathroom renovation), so we called them back for another job a year later (master bath renovation). Again, it went very well. We have found Augustin to be super helpful when we have had sudden problems too (like a slab leak), and he was able to respond quickly. I have recommended his company to my neighbors and in-laws. They were all pleased and have used his company again when they had additional work. read more

My husband and I interviewed at least 5 companies to remodel our master bath. We chose KBKoncept and are so impressed with our remodel. Augustin has a team of Master craftsman. Augustin guided us through the remodel from beginning to end. The first day they arrived, several hours were spent on prepping the house. The floors and ceilings were completely covered with heavy duty materials for protection. We dreaded the demo day as we had our quest bath remodeled a few years ago and it was a big mess! This was just the opposite. Each day they were finished, everything was cleaned up and very tidy ! Augustin is a perfectionist and treats your project as if it is his own home. He was great at communicating every step of the way. We were informed of what was happening each day, what time they would be arriving, and who would be working on what area. Augustin listened and explained why something would or wouldn't work and found a solution for it. Robert and Paul spent many hours with us and they were delightful as well as extremely talented. Our master bath turned out beautiful and exceeded our expectations !! We would highly recommend KBKoncept to anyone looking for beautiful results !!!!!!! read more

I would give KBKoncept more than 5 stars if I could. We were so impressed with Augustin and his team from start to finish. There was a commitment from the beginning to doing the job well and on schedule. Augustin kept us up to date each day as our kitchen remodel progressed, made suggestions not only to save us money but to improve on the design, and was patient with my angst over some decisions ;-) He responded promptly when we had questions. Augustin, Robert, Roberto, and Paul were a delight to have in our home. They were polite, respectful, fun to talk with and committed to quality, detailed work. The kitchen turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend them and will have them back when I'm ready to do a bathroom remodel. read more

We received an itemized, written estimate and bill, and the job was done by trustworthy, skilled workmen who were prompt and professional. They kept us informed of the schedule and progress every day and we would not hesitate to hire them again. read more

Augustin and his team are professional, timely, and listened to what we wanted. He explained each of steps very clearly. We really appreciated his ability to take what we wanted to do with our kitchen and show us ways to make the design work better. The end result is a beautiful, functional kitchen, that we love. From start to finish we were impressed with the teams work ethic and attention to detail. We had to add in a whole house re-pipe (which stopped his work for about a week and added additional drywall repairs) near the beginning of the project and they still finished on-time and within budget. The work was completed well and the inspections were easy and quick. Augustin worked hard to make the remodel as comfortable as possible for us and the process was much easier than expected. The whole team is very easy to talk to and answered all of our questions or concerns with detailed explanations. Augustin answered our calls and promptly retuned text messages. He was extremely patient with our indecisions and would make wonderful recommendations. We truly enjoyed having Augustin and his team in our home and will have them back soon for our bathroom remodels. read more
