    Close up of backsplash and countertop.  Chose quartz.  I wanted a clear, white look and I got it!
    karen g.

    Kitchen Experts just completed a partial remodel of my condo kitchen. I had the original tile and grout countertops and limited backsplash which was replaced with a quartz material. Cabinets will be refaced/repainted later. The range was replaced as part of the project. Kitchen Experts coordinated the install with CG Appliance. I relied on them to get it done at the right time. I'm delighted with results! Working with Kitchen Experts was smooth and predictable. Project Manager Marco was extraordinary with his attention to detail and being there whenever needed. Felipe and his install crew were professional and efficient. They finished a day early!! Ashton helped to get the project started. I appreciate everyone involved to make this happen! I'm always a bit wary of home improvement projects but this went well. I highly recommend Kitchen Experts! Thank you!

    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.

    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!

    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 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!

They provided a very fair quote, but we ended up having to put the project on hold. When we were finally ready to revisit it, they were willing to honor the original estimate, which we really appreciated. This is our first home and the first major renovation project we've undertaken, so we were a little apprehensive going into the process. We ultimately decided to expand the project into a full remodel, and even with the additional scope, the updated price remained very reasonable and close to what we had originally expected to spend. Once the project started, everything moved quickly and smoothly through each phase. Communication was timely and responsive, which helped keep the project moving efficiently from start to finish. Tony, the foreman, and his team were extremely detail-oriented and did exceptional work. The craftsmanship really shows in the finished bathroom. Everything looks carefully installed and precise, and the tile work in particular is incredibly clean. We're extremely happy with how the bathroom turned out and with the overall experience, especially for our first major home project. We would use them again for future projects and highly recommend them.

He asked for photos and provided an estimate with a range, depending on the complexity of what they found. Steve sent his crew over just a few hours later to begin the project. Victor and Edgar arrived, and within minutes, the Sawzall was going to town on our wall. I'll admit, I had my reservations, but it quickly became clear that these guys knew what they were doing. Each phase required a return visit to allow the individual coats of plaster to dry, etc. Our water was only turned off for about an hour or so during the entire project, and the finished product was very good.

She was exceptionally patient through numerous design iterations, never making us feel rushed and genuinely wanting us to love the plan before construction began. Her 3D renders were invaluable, as I really needed that visual clarity to make decisions. She is the ultimate design partner-in-crime! The construction crew was equally impressive. They were reliable, patient, courteous, attentive to detail, and highly skilled. We also really appreciated Ben & Mila's client advocacy.

There are other companies that require so much work on your part that we dismissed them quickly. The big question is always how good are the laborers that are actually going to do the work. Well, they are amazing and extremely hard working, very talented, and professional. They never hesitated to walk the extra mile for us, when we asked. I just can't highly recommend MDesign enough.

Overall, the project went well, and we're happy with the final results. Bryan, our foreman, was a strong asset to the project. Even though he was managing multiple jobs at the same time, his responsiveness and willingness to go out of his way to address our concerns made a big difference. Because we were home throughout the process, we were able to catch issues early and communicate them directly to Bryan, who consistently followed through to resolve them. What Went Well: * The tile and flooring subcontractors were excellent - their craftsmanship and attention to detail truly stood out. * Bryan, our foreman, was responsive to texts and phone calls, listened to our concerns, and made sure they were addressed. He even designed a bi-fold closet door for us, and helped pick up all the material to build it. * Bryan also took the initiative to handle several unfinished items himself, which we really appreciated. * The post-build cleaners were top-notch and left the space in pristine condition. * Throughout the project, everyone we interacted with was professional, courteous, and conscientious. There were no conflicts or issues, which made the experience comfortable for us. Areas for Improvement: * The timeline was a pain point. While we were originally told the project would take 6-8 weeks, it ended up stretching to 12 weeks. * The design process fell short of expectations. Because Prime's in-house designers weren't available, our design work was outsourced. We only received a full design package for the master bathroom. As a result, we ended up creating our own renderings for the other rooms to help communicate our vision to the team. That said, we were very happy with the design and material selections for the master bathroom they did complete. We just wish the same level of attention and design support had been provided for the rest of the project. * At times, resource availability was limited, likely due to workers being assigned to multiple jobs. This led to workflow inefficiencies and delays. Toward the end of our renovation, our foreman Bryan had to personally step in to complete several tasks, such as installing faucets, shelving, and baseboards. He managed to get it done in between site visits and meetings, which we appreciated, but it also highlighted a lack of available crew to close out the project. Despite these few challenges, the quality of the work met our expectations. We appreciated the team's effort and the final outcome.

    While I was initially very satisfied with George's work, unfortunately a serious flaw revealed…read moreitself after about a year. The tile beneath the shower door was not installed correctly, and this led to water slowly leaking into the baseboard anytime we used the shower. After a year, mold and mildew began to rapidly grow. After getting a consultation, the conclusion was that since the tile was not installed correctly, water did not drain from the surface properly, leading to the damage you see pictured here. I reached out to George, as our contract stated that he would fix any issues resulting from his work within 4 years after completion of the original project. Thankfully, he agreed to fix the issue after inspecting the problem in person. If George had simply fixed the tile right after his inspection, I would have no need to update this review. But unfortunately, what happened next is why I need to lower my rating. After George had agreed to fix his work, it took over 1 year to get him to come back to my home and fix it. I would send him multiple emails, texts, and phone calls trying to schedule time for him to come fix the shower. He would ignore the messages for weeks on end. And when he did respond, it would be to tell me that he was traveling, or was not available at my suggested times. When I finally managed to get time with him, he would make many comments about how he felt like the issue wasn't really his fault and that he just wanted to get done ASAP. He gave me the impression that he didn't want to make things right, but that he just wanted to fulfill his contractual obligation and be done. I did not feel like a priority to him, and it was likely because there was no money to be gained from fixing his mistake. George's fix unfortunately led to another issue. Our baseboard was replaced, and the tile was adjusted. However, since the tile needed to be adjusted at an incline to allow the water to drain, the positioning of the shower glass needed to be shifted up to give it space to open. The shower door is now misaligned with the other side of the glass. An issue that can't be fixed unless we buy a whole new shower glass door. While I am still very appreciative of George's original work, I will likely need to make significant updates to this bathroom in the future. And I will not be using GT General Contractor this time around.

All were outdated and so the plan was to upgrade each property then bring them to market one at a time. It was my job to find an honest, knowledgeable, reliable General Contractor. I had interviewed several. I chose to work with George and GT General Contractor. His knowledge of the Local Building Codes stood out to me. He also had reasonable pricing. Together we worked out a contract where I would determine the upgrades, select and purchase appliances, fixtures, flooring and all major materials on behalf of my client and George would provide the minor materials and bring our vision to life. If it didn't work I could let George and GT General Contractors go and find another Contractor. It did work though. George was patient, his knowledge kept us out of trouble with the local code enforcement, He had the vision and the skillset to turn a blank canvas into something beautiful. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it was all Unicorns and rainbows, it wasn't. Every time a roadblock was in our path, George never lost focus of our final objective. So when we did pull up carpet and exposed some rotting of the subfloor or removed a section of drywall only to find some termite damage, an amendment to the original contract was created and on we went. After each house was completed I would list it on the market and every one brought a new "Highest Sale" in their neighborhood. That made me look good in my clients eyes. George and I did this 5 times over and I consider him a friend. I highly recommend George and GT Contractors if you are considering a remodel. I have since moved on from my real estate career but before I did I had sold my personal residence and who did I have help me remodel it? You guessed it. George and GT Contractors.
