I don't understand the average 3 star review. We have had other contractors with their subcontractors in our house and that was a disaster and extremely frustrating. Our experience with The Kitchen Experts of California has been hands down the BEST contractor experience we have ever had. Are there bumps, yes. Am I super picky and demanding, yes. Have they ever said no or been unreasonable, absolutely not. Our kitchen remodel and bathroom addition started in 2019. By by mid 2020 we finally had four quotes. One from a Berkeley firm that was immediately tossed because the price was so outrageous. One from a general contractor and we said we could not go through that again and the mystery of add-ons was frightening, one was a "direct competitor" of the Kitchen experts, but we had an off-putting vibe from the initial meeting. And by far our meeting with Johnny clicked immediately. When we got the Kitchen Experts quote it fell in line with two of the other quotes and having a guaranteed project manager was the tipping point for us. So, in August 2020 we signed the contract, picked our flooring, cabinets and other goodies, all with the specter of Covid in the background, then the world really did fall apart with Covid. Fortunately, the Kitchen Experts didn't. They kept pushing through. We're we nervous, hell yes! Did we call them constantly, of course. And they would keep us informed. We were in the new Covid waiting room. On July, 30, 2021 they started demo. They even allowed me to take Timelapse video of the progress and it was incredible, the attention to detail was by far a thing we have never experienced with any other contractor. Bottom line, they gave us a gorgeous kitchen and bathroom. And any hiccups we had were resolved in a timely manner. We could not be happier. So happy, we recommended them to Gina M., check out her review on their bathroom. I ain't kidding. We are very happy. I really wish yelp allowed longer and proper aspect ratio videos.

If you have had any construction done to your house before, you know that the process can be a roller coaster but with Kitchen Experts, you'll have someone holding your hand next to you the entire ride. And that was so comforting. I would highly suggest that any verbal agreements that you make with any of the staff be documented in email because there is so much going on all the time and it's good to leave a paper trail. We worked with Dean, Tim, Denise, and Claudia from the office and the ladies were rockstars!! They responded promptly and called back in a timely manner. I could always count on them. I think that Dean and Tim were just so busy with other projects that responses were confused and delayed at times. But Denise was assigned specifically to us so her support and advocacy made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. They understood that we worked hard for the money we were investing into our kitchen and were able to really support us. For those who were actually working on constructing our kitchen, I hope they all get bonuses because the work they achieved went above and beyond what we thought we could achieve in our house. Felipe, our foreman was a B O S S. And Elvis was a rockstar. We felt so safe and we were able to visit the store and pick out and feel the materials that we wanted in our kitchen and were even able to choose what pieces of granite we wanted where. Whenever complications arose, which were to be expected, Kitchen Experts handled everything with great customer service and professional care. Disclaimer: the kitchen my dad wanted was a more traditional and classy kitchen but also secretly commercial because he is a professional chef with a restaurant that we've owned for 30 years. Kitchen Experts can definitely do a more modern feel (something more suited to my Pinterest Boards) but this is just the style my dad wanted.

Kitchen Experts made my kitchen remodel experience very painless! I had a flood in my kitchen that forced me to have to remodel, and I had NO idea where to begin! 2 years later, after living in a halfway torn up kitchen, I found Kitchen Experts. Their lead designer Johnny Gonzalves helped me to create a vision for my kitchen. I didn't know where to begin, but Johnny's design and layout gave me a floor plan that I could never have imagined on my own. He guided me through the process of selecting cabinets, countertops, flooring, and all the appliances and cabinet features. I picked everything out in 1 day thanks to Johnny and their amazing showroom! The flow is now incredibly efficient and I love alI the slick features he turned me onto. I love even more that KE is a one-stop shop and my kitchen, which was a complete gut-job, was complete in 5 weeks! The foreman Efrain was great to work with and responsive to all my concerns during the construction process. My kitchen is my new happy place and I couldn't be more pleased! Highly recommend Kitchen Experts if you want the work done quickly and need help visioning and designing what your new kitchen could be!

Kitchen Experts is a 5 star company with exceptional service and superb workmanship. They replaced our countertops and I'm blown away with how beautiful they turned out! The owner was hands on throughout the process and Alan was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable every step of the way. The crew was clean, wore masks, put down floor coverings, and left no trace when they were gone. The whole process happened so quickly and I'm still in shock that they completed the demo and install in one day. Thank you so much Kitchen Experts! We'll definitely be back for our next big project!

Apologies as this review is long overdue. If you are just here wondering if you should use and…read moretrust Luxurious Stone, then 10000% yes. Based on my experience, you will not be disappointed. If you want to hear about the overall experience and level of service, then read on... I started off my search by messaging multiple people/companies about countertop fabrication and installation. Some messaged me back, some gave very minimal responses, some places had high prices, some didn't have time for all of my questions. This is the first time I've done any countertop work and I did a lot of research on many different places and scoured the Hayward/San Leandro area and beyond to look at different countertops, designs, etc. Alvaro always responded to all my messages and emails. Every single time. Sometimes my messages would be weeks apart. When I finally made my decision to go with him, it was well over a month from when I first contacted him. He stuck with me all along the way and that left an impression on me, especially in this type of business. I had a few strange questions about different options and configurations of the counters and he was always responsive with open and honest opinions and information. Once I finally picked out my material, he met me at the shop where I purchased the counter to check out the material and he helped me make sure we were getting a good piece that wasn't too warped. All of this helped reassure me that he approved of my selection and that his trained eye could notice things that I wouldn't be able to notice on my own. He picked up the slab with his truck and took it off to fabricate and cut. He showed up a few days later for the install and it was done in no time. Oh, I forgot to mention that he stopped by and did a consultation and looked everything over and provided a ton of really helpful advice and analysis of the job, how he would suggest doing it, what he wouldn't suggest etc. He also brought some samples with him for me to check out and offered a great price on countertops that he already had on hand. The entire experience is everything that you would hope for in a countertop install. I will recommend him to anyone that need any countertop work. The pricing was some of the best I could find, the work was high quality (still looking great and holding up 7 months in) and Alvaro was a pleasure to work with. Thank you very much for everything!

Alvaro is the best! He has years of experience and it shows in the finished product. Our counters…read moreare gorgeous, and the stone is cut, matched up, and put together perfectly. I like that his focus is on fabrication and not on material sales. There is such a huge selection of stone out there I don't know why anyone would want to limit their choices by going with an all in one shop.
