My job was tiny & I was turned down by so many other companies. I know small jobs don't bring in a ton of money but I have many clients who ask me for referrals all the time! I was feeling discouraged and frustrated. I happened to stop by Setai on my way back from another place. It was my last resort before DIYing butcher block. George was an absolute godsend. He treated me so respectfully, asked me questions and when I didn't have answers (because I am absolutely clueless about countertops) he asked simpler questions that got his answers. Due to the fact that my job was so small, it was more cost effective to choose from remnants, which I was fine with. He took me to his stack and patiently dug through. Measured & advised. I didn't take long as I already knew what I wanted and honestly, wasn't being too picky about it (it's for an office space). I asked about install & he gave me a date just a few days later! He called the day before to confirm. He called the morning of to let me know he will give me an eta. His consistency was impeccable. Frankie showed up on time. There was a slight issue with my countertops going flush against my cabinets. Instead of making it an issue he said "I will figure it out". If there isn't anything in my soul that makes me happier than a person that sees a problem and finds a solution. That, right there, is an amazing installer. Any other person would've been annoying about it. He figured it out & the outcome is beautiful. He was fast & efficient. He cleaned up after himself. I wish I had found them sooner. It would've saved me weeks of stress and frustration. I will keep them in mind when we renovate our kitchen & if anyone asks for kitchen & bath recommendations. They are amazing & seeing their work here I would've felt intimidated even asking them to do my little sink area. Every person in that office was so friendly & kind. Thank you for such a great experience! read more

We were extremely happy with our bathroom remodel! Josh Moreno was great with coordinating everyone & everything to move in the right direction. All of his workers were very good, respectful of our property and willing to make adjustments as necessary. Another bonus is that they cleaned up after themselves at the end of every workday. When the job was finished, we only had them back out to make a couple of small adjustments. Overall, we were very pleased with our bathroom remodel! read more

My new quartz counter top looks beautiful. The staff arrived at the time scheduled and worked in a timely fashion. They never left before cleaning the debris. Everyone was professional and attentive. After the staff left I noticed a small area that needed a second coat of painting and Matt was quick at sending his staff to take care of it. I appreciated all of you. Thank you Philippe, Josh and you teams. read more

After my review of /Matt - non existent follow up - he responds to me here on Yelp by saying that my bathroom is "unpermitted". Liar. How would he know that? Our addition including said bathroom is fully and legally permitted and recorded by the county assessor - we pay our property taxes on the larger square footage since 2007. Drove by Setai last week and it's closed down -and empty. Maybe they moved? Watch out read more

I was truly excited to get the ball rolling for my Mom. I set up an appt for an estimate. I understand that a contractor cannot just give you one right on hand... they must calculate the product needed, the hrs how many workers, and so on. He said I would have one in about a day or two at most. Didn't get it. Set up a 2nd visit like 3wks later after no response no est... this 2nd visit was at their request. My Mom took off work as did I. They were supposed to bring the est and did not. Said they would get it to me in a couple days... it's been 3.5mon. Not yet, no call no est even by mail. I left a msg and no response. How I see it.... If you can't even get me an est within a timely manner knowing that I have a bathroom in need of a remodel. Knowing that that is a 4-7k job sitting waiting for your attn. I've done all the demo already. This IS exactly how the job will go. You must understand that your first impression is the most crucial and you failed to even produce the est therefore than is how you work ethics will most likely be in my book. I feel you will be hard to get ahold of, gaps within the time you start the job and finish, and that you would be a headache to deal with. 3.5mom and you still have not returned a call or produced an est. I just don't get it. I was told you have plenty of opening and could start whenever I wanted. So, it's not like you're slammed if you could start with in days after our 2nd appt. I ended up going with a great contractor. Prompt, professional, the work was completed in 10 days. Prep, tar, water test, tile, grout, sealant, fixtures.... 10 days from the est to the completion and you couldn't even give an estimate or a return call. Which as I now look at your reviews is a common occurrence read more

Thank you Setai for replacing my shower. Philippe helped me out throughout the entire process. He was responsive and easy to work with. In constructions, there's always some delays. However, Philippe made sure the workers accommodate my schedule. They worked diligently, cleaned up after themselves, and made sure the walls are patched up correctly and repainted. I recommend Setai and will use them again read more

Had Satai do a remodel a few years ago. At that time his crew was a little disorganized (as seemed wide spread during covid era). We recently found a few mistakes and let the owner, Matt, know. He was very responsive and had his new crew (who are very professional) fix/repair the issue. Thank you Matt, for standing behind your work:) Matt is easy to work with and cares. read more

I am way overdue to write this review! We love Setai so much! They have changed our lives. They remodeled our home and did such a beautiful job. They have a great eye and skills in craftsmanship. They helped me pick out designs and colors and have really good taste. It was so fun working with them! They make our home so gorgeous and comfortable, it feels like a new house! Their customer service is amazing. Their prices are excellent. They also did our remodel really fast and had it done in time! Love working with these guys they feel like family and are there for us whenever we need them. Thanks you guys, we adore you! Zareen and erik and baby read more

Save yourself the money and stress and go somewhere else. Over a year later and we are still paying other people to fix the millions of mistakes Setai did. I wasn't going to write a review because I wanted to put our horrible experience behind us but today we learned they did not install sewer gas vents (which they said they did) and will need someone to open out our whole wall to fix their horrible job. I am livid. Do not work with these people. Disorganized, lazy, and dishonest scammers. read more

We did a complete gut remodel of our kitchen and floor with George at Setai Kitchen. From the beginning, George was thorough, straightforward with cost of labor and materials, and despite a few hiccups (little things due to supply chain issues out of his control) along the way, pretty much stuck to the timeline that he quoted of 6 weeks. He was the most responsive contractor we've ever worked with and would highly recommend him, Matt & the team at Setai. We are very happy with the end result! read more

I would give MINUS star . Please NOT HIRE this business if you want to protect your property and money !! ! I remodeled 2 bathrooms , replace floors , and paint kitchen cabinets .. 1, They can't do PLUMBING JOB, so be careful ! I had 2 water leaking from the 2nd floor bathroom due to their poor quality job . One is from showroom , another is from new toilet bowl they installed .. now 4 years later , it happened again! The other contractor says SETAI did not do proper water sealing before putting tiles . 2, I took long time to choose finishing like faucets ,shower head etc. but they ordered WRONG items !!!! And no intention to fix it 3. Their workers are not professional and there is no project manager . So the quality of job is really not good. They made a lot SCRATCHES on my brand new cabinets ... They installed cabinets handles in weird way .. they broke window blinds and left it ... they made Scratches on my brand new shower faucets ( cry ) and more !!! Some workers told me owner of SETAI treat them badly as they stay here in US illegally ..so worker never stay with SETAI and always new people come and go . That's why their job quality never be stable . And a lot people with no experiences .. 4. I installed new glass shower door.. but they don't close properly .. I called owner Matt many times , but they never pick my call after I finished paying . So NEBER PAY UNTILL THR JOB IS COMPLETE if you till want to try to hire them ... though I really don't recommend read more

Working with Setai was a good but not perfect experience for our recent bathroom remodel. I found their prices to be fair, and a bit of a discount from some of the other full service contractors. The workmanship from the crews ranged from Outstanding (Tile) to Pretty Good (Paint). Stuart was managing our project and we had a few miscues and gaps in communication that we got sorted out by the end (all feedback here was also delivered in person). Pros: Fair price Outstanding tile crew Price included many materials like tile and vanity Numerous samples in their office Generally clean and efficient demo. Cons: I had to do more project management than I would have liked (pressing for schedule, calling to find out when they were coming back, mapping out our bill of materials, etc.). Paint crew left gaps in caulking, painted around door handles and light switch covers instead of removing to paint under, and had a couple spills that were blamed on us. A few mix ups on what we wanted done that had to be documented and corrected (wrong finish for tub waste/overflow, medicine cabinets hung too low to open even after we marked the walls, multiple house calls to fix caulking gaps around the shower, thermostatic valve not calibrated, and an argument over outlet placement.) Very light detail in the signed agreement, which made it a little trickier to negotiate project changes. Examples being whether recessed LEDs and exhaust fans were included in the quote (LEDs yes, fans no), when we were expected to have fixtures on hand (led to project delay). In the end I finally just said 95% was close enough, went out and bought some caulk to finish up when they complained about sending the crew again, and added some extra magnets to balance out the medicine cabinets that didn't close since they warped on install. We're pretty happy with the finished product and plan to use Setai again for our next bath and kitchen. I'm just going to make sure we work out a more detailed project plan and bill of materials, and plan for more personal time checking the crew's progress and activity. If you are organized and can pay attention to detail, you can get a great project done for a fair price with Setai. read more

We are sooo proud of our newly remodeled bathroom, which George and his crew provided us with great workmanship and customer service.

We just finished our first project with Setai, a full kitchen, entryway and half bathroom remodel. Our contractor Matt and the crews were so professional and efficient . They completed the project in the time quoted. The process of selecting the materials and design was breeze . The price was very fair and comparable to other businesses in the area. I highly recommend Setai and Matt for any of your home remodel projects. We have already secured them for our next project, a full bathroom remodel! read more

We recently had both our bathrooms renovated by Setai Kitchen and Bath and we are quite happy with their work! Prior to the start of the project, Matt (the owner), estimated a time frame of six to eight weeks. Our project was completed in six weeks and on budget. Kudos to Matt's crew who showed up early and worked diligently each and every day. We would definitely hire them again for future projects! read more

Ask for George. He is very punctual and professional. He really follows through his work. Our cabinets were a little unique. The washer and dryer are in the kitchen. George came back and made sure the cabinet doors would not hit a exposed beams. Had he not did this. Surely the doors would hit it. The family are very happy with the cabinets. They are of great quality and materials. Installation was a breeze and timing was exceptional. Installation was done a week prior to original scheduled date. Give them a try. You would not be disappointed read more

This company has a long way to go in terms of professionalism and quality of work. I called them to install new counter tops and backsplash on my small kitchen in Long Beach. George came and gave me an estimate of $3000. He scheduled that the job will be started on June 9; and will only take 1 day because "they're professionals". June 9 came and they were supposed to start at 9 am. They did not show up at the promised time. I finally called George at 12 noon and he said that his worker (his "main man" is having back problems and can't do the job. If I did not call him I would not have known about this change of plan. I actually took a day off just to accommodate them - so I just wasted a day off at work. George promised to start on June 12. They worked on my kitchen on June 12. They only finished half of the job and his men will finish it the following day. They promised to come back the next day at 12 noonish time. The following day they did not show up at 12 noon. I finally called George around 4 pm and he said that his men are working with him at that time and they should be here at my place around 5ish pm. He apologized and he said that he's even gonna give me a discount to make up for the delay. His men showed up around 5 pm and they finally finished the job around almost 10 pm. Quality of work: Mediocre. And they scraped some parts of the wall of which I am now obligated to paint. Suggestion: If you are looking for a contractor to renovate your kitchen, I suggest to look somewhere else. George and his company is NOT at all professional in any aspect of customer service, quality of work is mediocre - other contractors could do a better job. And the discount that George has promised because of the delay?..you guessed it right... no discount was given to me whatsoever. DO NOT HIRE THEM. read more

We contacted Setai primarily because of the customer reviews. From our initial consultation, the owner Matt proved himself to be attentive to our needs, the most significant of which was quality and reliability. More on these in a moment. In the initial consultations, Matt asked all the necessary questions about our kitchen upgrade, made suggestions and showed photos when we didn't have a specific material, color or style in mind and put a quote in our hand in a day. To accommodate us, Matt left place-holders in our project estimate with the mutual understanding that the final cost would depend on our final choices, which Matt worked with us to resolve. He invited us to his store to check out the different materials and styles for cabinets, counter tops and floors. He also offered us samples to take home. Once the project plan and cost were final, the work was scheduled. The scheduled work went as smoothly as a customer could hope. A few key things stood out to us about Setai: (i) The work was scheduled and completed with little to no gaps. That's important when your kitchen is going to be out of commission for a minimum of a few weeks. That's also very hard to do when the work requires multiple different skill areas. (ii) Matt would confirm a day or more in advance that his crew would be arriving at our home the following morning, usually between 8:30 and 9:30 am. (iii) Sure enough, they were there as planned without any significant exceptions, were working immediately and didn't stop until the planned work was complete. (iv) There are ALWAYS unforeseeable factors, like a scuff on the cabinet door or something in the original design which needed to be modified, and Matt did an excellent job of identifying them and providing feasible work-arounds so the schedule didn't slip much. The project was completed in less time than originally estimated and in a way which exceeded our expectations. Matt takes pride in the quality of his work. I look forward to working with him and his crew again. read more

I want to thank George and his team . For making our kitchen dream a possibility. Since day one George was very attentive and honest. Gave us his opinion without pressuring us into a different route. Took as little as a week to get everything finished. And every step of the way George was making sure everything was running smoothly. I will definitely work with them again and I highly recommend. Price was perfect. And to be honest we were not stressed out through out the remodeling. Again Thank you George!!! read more

George and Francisco were great to work with. They made my dream kitchen come true and worked with me with all my ideas. I got my quartz countertops, backsplash and custom shelve.

George is the best! We had Setai install Blue Pearl granite countertop and porcelain backsplash in our kitchen including a beautiful stainless steel sink. We originally got a quote from Sears and a quote from from George. George's quote was about $5K lower than Sears. Also, due to George's over 30 years of experience, he was able to suggest some great recommendations for our kitchen. The work came out beautiful and George's customer service was first rate. I would text a question to George at any time during the day or night (including after 11 pm) and George responded within minutes! Please don't hesitate to call George at Setai for your next home improvement project. We were totally pleased with the results! read more

We needed to refinish our cabinets so we called this company and spoke to George. We wanted someone to come by and give us an estimate and a color sample so we can make a decision and he says that he doesn't just come out , he would need a DEPOSIT RIGHT NOW BEFORE HE COMES OUT. I asked him again just to confirm that he needed a deposit SIGHT UNSEEN and we need to give him money before we know what he can do for us? He said yes, we said that was ridiculous and said goodbye. Really, to ask people for a deposit BEFORE they come out for a major kitchen and family room refinishing? They must be very busy and don't need the business because how many customers would be stupid enough to do that? Besides, people normally get other estimates from other companies and then put a deposit down with the company you want to work with AFTER you meet with them and DECIDE you want to work with them. You already know these people are out to get your money! Build some confidence first with your customers, then maybe they want to work with you and you can build business for next time. I would never work with a company who treats their customers this way! read more

Setai did a great job on our bathroom! We decided to remodel our very old bathroom after we found some leaking thru tile cracks in shower and valves. We got some estimates and setai's seemed reasonable. Stuart was great and explained what they did and had recommendations along the way. They pretty much did everything from a complete tear down and rebuild. We extended bathroom by tearing down wall into my sons room and extending shower ceiling. They also had to move plumbing around to fit new location of shower valve and toilet. They did it all and took the trash with them everday. All the workers were great and considerate esp since we mainly work from home. Workers asked us about our opinions in details along the way as well as providing recommendations. They even sealed up my sons room to make it look seamless with the rest of the room. The duration was just a few days over the estimate of 4 weeks so pretty close. We had a couple issues with painters leaving a few smears and smudges in areas but my wife mentioned it to Stuart and he was very responsive and had the painters back the next day (Sunday) to fix it. They were great and apologetic about it and fixed the issues so no harm done. Only minor complaint is the scheduling was sometimes off. They would sometimes not come when expected or come late but for most part stuck to schedule. I esp like that most big items are included in estimate and we only have to buy shower valve, faucets, toilet, mirrors and exhaust fan along with small fixtures like towel rack. Other estimates i got did not include things like tiles or shower doors so this was nice. I recommend buying all the things that are customers responsibility ASAP as we didn't and it caused us 1-2 days delay, but that was our fault as Stuart was clear about need date for those items. Overall great job and thx to Stuart and the team especially Nelson and Lupe for all their work and recommendations. Very professional. read more

I would give no stars if I could. They are way over priced and the owner Matt doesn't answer his phone. I purchased from the previous owners and he would even honor the price. We also went in for a quote on quartz countertops and he was over $3000 more than every where else. Not a great way to start. Just because your by the hill doesn't mean we are willing to get ripped off. I love how you keep posting and changing your responses. We have already completed the project and took our business elsewhere. I have a screen shot for every update. Not interested. Thanks. read more

Owner seems nice! But, we never made it past our first meeting (he came to our home to view the job but no one was at the showroom the next day during our scheduled 5-6pm visit). No way to gauge. Showroom seems to have extensive choices (we viewed items from the window). read more

We ended up doing business with them. Setai works with its clients to the extent possible. Nice folks! Nina niece is awesome (Matt you're lucky to have her!) read more

Amazing Service! Called Matt looking to see if he could beat a quote we had received a few days earlier. Not only did he beat the other company's quote he saved us even more money. They showed up at 8am on time, prepped everything, and completed both jobs well within the time frame that was estimated. We used them for our home, and they did such amazing job we went ahead and had them do the floors at our business. The materials they use backed by there warranty blows the competion out the water. If your looking to remodel your home or business I would definently give Matt a call he's the best. read more

Setai Kitchen & Bath is truly a one of a kind business. My husband and I had been frantically running around, trying to find reasonably priced quartz countertops, and we were really struggling to find honest folks who weren't overcharging us. George was basically our miracle, who gave us exactly what we were looking for. He not only helped us find countertops that we loved, but he really supported us in figuring out the most financially affordable options for us. I think what I appreciated the most was just how genuine and kind he is! We trusted him immediately and we just felt so well cared for. I also need to mention that my husband and I needed our countertops done as soon as possible because we have a baby on the way. George got it done for us within a few days of meeting with him. I'll be referring all of my family and friends to him, because I know they'll be well taken care of like we were. Endlessly grateful! read more

It was time to remodel the shower and these guys had great reviews. Requested a consultation and received a call the next day. Stuart stop by and made great recommendations. The estimate was reasonable. A bit of confusion at the beginning regarding which days the crew would show up. Once this was resolved, the remodel was completed in less than 7 days. The work was top notch. The crew made sure everything was cleaned up before they left each day. I love my new shower. read more

We had some floor tile work that needed to be done in our kitchen due to a change in our cabinet layout.

We had two bathrooms completely remodeled from scratch. And they're beautiful! We had three other contractors bid on the job that couldn't meet our budget. Setai Kitchen & Bath has their own inventory of vinyl, tile, cabinets, knobs, accessories, etc. which provides an endless selection of quality products (no cheap stuff) that is cost effective. Matt is personable and experienced with proactive ideas and solutions that are fairly priced, handling unforeseen issues quickly and efficiently, and always available by phone day or night. Before the job started, he introduced himself to all our neighbors (we live in a condo complex) explaining that there would be noise and to call him of any issues. The work and materials are top notch, the "before and after" pictures breathtaking, and our condo has significantly increased in value because of Matt's work. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks, Matt! read more

We highly recommend Setai for kitchen remodels. Matt is a pleasure to work with and his crew led by Nelson was extremely professional.

I had a wonderful experience working with George and his team at Setai Kitchen. We hired them on very short notice to finish the kitchen tile backsplash in our new home. We were literally a week away from moving and had to get this done before the move so that we could finish all the installations in our kitchen. He met me up for a consultation the very same day I called and set us up with a great plan. The tile work was done by Wilmer and he did an excellent job paying attention to every detail. They would consult with me before every issue during the installation as our walls were not perfectly straight. Our kitchen looks like a million bucks. We are so happy and fortunate to have found these guys. read more

Honestly the best contractor we have ever worked with! George was our contractor for our guest bath remodel and he did an amazing job. He helped with the initial design process, gave us a competitive quote (that we actually stuck to), and was very responsive throughout the process. We had a very strict timeline to finish the bathroom and George was able to get everything done within a few days of schedule (amazing!). We had some issues with our initial toilet install, but George made sure we had a plumber come out and ensure everything was fixed. We would definitely work with George/Setai again for any future remodeling projects. read more
