They have transformed our home into a living masterpiece. I'm still amazed at the design, craftsmanship, and materials, a year later, when I walk through different parts of our home. Their work is truly a gift that keeps on giving. When I think of Marin Kitchen Works, I think of a close-knit family, which is exactly what they are. Betty Sundborg, their lead designer, blew me away with the vision she had had for different parts of our home. I thought I had vision but she took it to a whole new level. It's not that she's just hip, she just has a lot (and I mean a lot) of experience and stays on top of her game in terms of what designs and materials are current and popular. She loves what she does. And to me, I think thats why our home now is so over the top. Her brother Scott, although more responsible for oversight duties rather than designing, is quite the visionary too. When Scott and Betty are together in the room taking a look at your home, magic happens! They encourage each other to make the most of your space/s and budget, and because of this, I always felt like I was the one who was really winning! Scott's son, Eric, too, although a young man, impressed me with his budding sense of vision. As a family business, Marin Kitchen Works will continue their legacy of transforming homes in Marin when he takes over running the business after Betty and Scott retire, just like Scott and Betty inherited the business from their father. Scott's wife, Cindy, was also involved, namely in painting the interior of our home - and she is delightful to be around as well. Again, she loves what she does and realizes that color plays such an important part of the living space. It was tangible to her that a loving family is, and would be living here, and she's the type of person who understands how important it is to make one's work 'personal'. Of course, they have amazing and friendly relationships with all their sub-contractor's and I couldn't help but feel like an 'All-Star' team was perfectly hand-picked and assembled to transform our home. Every bit of the work being done was always 100%. There was never any need for me to worry about this. It's just an 'inner knowing' that it's not only going to get done, but it's going to be spectacular. So rather than worry, I just looked forward to completion because I knew it was going to exceed my expectations. Marin Kitchen Works, has a result, has a very, very special working relationship with our home and family. This will pay off dividends for the rest of our lives as we continue to stay in touch as we both do little (or major) updates to our home. ### All 45 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-552421009, May 2022** > We were thrilled with all aspects of our experience with Marin Kitchen Works from start to finish. Eric was responsive and such a great guide to remodeling our kitchen. The price was reasonable and they followed through on every promise. He went above and beyond to be helpful. The kitchen looks amazing, the work was done beautifully and they left it clean and sparkling. We love our kitchen now! It was great to get everything done from one place. I can’t recommend them more highly. **★★★★★ — janbuz, April 2021** > MKW has now remodeled two bathrooms for us. Betty and Eric were so personal and enthusiastic about picking out the materials and design for both. Scott and his crew were skilled and proficient at doing the work. So professional and personal at the same time. We have loved working with them! **★★★★★ — ashleymcculloch1, April 2021** > Marin Kitchen Works did an absolutely outstanding job on my kitchen and bath remodel. The Sundberg family and their team are personable, efficient, timely and professional. We stayed on budget and on schedule and I couldn't be more thrilled with the final project! **★★★★★ — moses jacob, March 2021** > Design, and workmanship were all superb.

Good quality materials. More expensive than I had anticipated but your paying for quality, workmanship and attention to detail. **★★★★★ — Robert Anderson, Feb. 2018** > Betty, Scott, Eric, and their crew did a wonderful redesign and reface of our kitchen.

We love walking into our kitchen. **★★★★★ — Mary D, Jan. 2018** > The crew was professional and efficient. The workmanship and quality of materials are superb.

We are very happy with our new kitchen and the rest of the remodel **★★★★★ — Michael Hartshorn, Jan. 2018** > I have worked with Marin Kitchen Works for over 15 years as MFG rep.

It is a pleasure working with a company that pays attention to detail and happy to have them represent our products in such a professional manner. **★★★★★ — jim burness, Jan. 2018** > very professional, creative and cost effective as well as extremely friendly and willing to go extra mile to satisfy customer **★★★★★ — Munoz Tile, Jan. 2018** > Truly professional and such a fun wonderful team to work with. The staff will listen to your needs and implement your vision into a master piece. They are extremely knowledgeable and OH so talented! When you use them you'll fall in love with your home all over again and wonder why you didn't call them sooner. I can recommend Marin Kitchen Works without reservation for a large or small job. **★★★★★ — Penny Locke, Jan. 2018** > My dream kitchen came to life thanks to Betty and her team. Now 7 years on, I still love it. If I've had minor tweaks to do, they come out, fix it, and "have a nice day". Professional and knowledgeable and they listen to what you want, and how much you have to spend. Great team. Thank you! **★★★★★ — FM DISTRIBUTING, May 2016** > I’ve been working with Betty, Scott, and Eric Sundborg at Marin Kitchen Works for over 4 years now and I can tell you this; you will not find a better more dedicated team for doing a full remodel or just a kitchen counter top! They have decades of experience and can design and build whatever their clients need. Tami Haven **★★★★ — lwaldrich, Dec. 2015** > Marin Kitchen Works remodeled my kitchen. I was dreading the process, but Scott and Betty made it easy. The workman were all pleasant to be around and did very good work. When ever a decision had to be made Scott and Betty were there to help. Our kitchen was transformed. **★★★★★ — jaynede, Aug. 2015** > We happily vouch for Marin Kitchen Works. We actually enjoyed both the experience of collaborating with the MKW staff (Betty Sundborg - owner/designer and consultant, Scott Sundborg - her brother and foreman, and the rest of their crew) on three separate projects over seven years. We continue to appreciate the beautiful and functional rooms they created in two very different settings – the kitchen and bathrooms in a two-story farm house and the entire kitchen/dining/living area in a contemporary beachhouse. We found each of the staff to be responsive to what we said and also to what we wanted, but didn’t know how to describe. > > Betty suggested excellent ideas and products that fit our style preferences and budget, and she was patient and helpful in our decision-making. Scott and his crew communicated well with us, worked efficiently, and did what they said they would do. After hearing our praise for their work and seeing our outcomes, two local families employed Marin Kitchen Works, and each of them was as pleased as we were with their own remodeling process and results. **Comment from Marin Kitchen Works Inc.:** > Thank you! It's been such a pleasure working with you over the years **★★★★★ — dcurtis123, Aug. 2015** > I love my kitchen! Cabinets are exactly what I wanted and the Quartz counter top looks so nice with them. I appreciate all Marin Kitchen Works did to help me choose my design. This is the 2nd kitchen they have designed and installed for me and both experiences went smoothly. > Also love: my sink-Nantucket single bowl - depth is perfect; > my faucet: Moen Motion Sense > If I ever move again, Marin Kitchen Works will be my go to for upgrade needs! > Thanks to the entire staff: Betty, Kelly, Scott, Clint & Eric **★★★★★ — lugalu, Aug. 2015** > These guys are great! Very professional, friendly, and patient. I worked with Scott, Betty, and Eric. But the whole team has a great reputation and came highly recommended. Thanks for helping me with my kitchen remodel. **★★★★★ — jerijank, Aug. 2015** > Fabulous kitchen remodel. Fifteen years later a gorgeous bathroom remodel. Great > ideas, designs, and workmanship. Will hire Marin Kitchen Works for the third time to remodel my second bathroom. > Jeri **★★★★★ — Jeremy Nielsen, July 2015** > Marin Kitchen Works is the best! Betty and Scott make a great team, not to mention the great staff that follows their lead. Seamless service and vast knowledge of the work make this business a special breed. Nice to know that there are still contractors out there that actually care about the customer. Our job was perfect, Scott even took the time out to look at an electrical issue for me, which he fixed. Above and beyond, Marin Kitchen works is the way to go! Thank you so much! **★★★★★ — jcnickel, July 2015** > Marin Kitchen Works remodeled a one bedroom condo in central Marin. The original condition was poor at best. The contractor had no trouble climbing around the ceiling, examining the entire space, coming up with excellent drawings, giving us a very accurate estimate, getting permits etc. Most importantly, the workmanship was excellent. The site supervisor was positively the best, easy to work with, spotted lots of issues. The job was on time and beautifully done. > Many thanks **★★★★★ — mgmalone, July 2015** > The people at Marin Kitchen Works are so enjoyable to work with and know their business, from helping design the kitchen or bath remodel that not only fits your space restrictions and meets your budget while accomplishing your dream to the on-time completion of all the work. While performing the work, they are extra careful to keep the mess to a minimum and the quality of their work is exceptional. In addition, their crew is so personable that you look forward to their just being their. You can trust them. And the completed work brings nothing but compliments and praise from your friends and neighbors. Later, should anything go wrong, they are johnny-on-the-spot with repairs, without any additional cost to you. It was no wonder that after the superb remodel of our kitchen that we had them back several years later to remodel two baths and two bedrooms. The master bath is now what one would expect to find in any five star hotel. **★★★★★ — lgiudice, Feb. 2015** > We had Marin Kitchen Works remodel our kitchen with resale in mind. From design to the final install including coming back to repair a cabinet panel we damaged, they were top notch. They were extremely professional, flexible, knowledgeable in the design area as well as in the install. It was apparent they had a wealth of experience as there was no challenge that they couldn't handle. > > Even when they referred us to other contractors out side of their scope of work, those professionals were also top in their fields. I wouldn't hesitate working with Marin Kitchen Works again and have recommended them may times. **★★★★★ — ruthzucker, Dec. 2014** > MKW did a complete master bath renovation. They took the walls down to the studs, replaced flooring, re-did shower stall, added free standing tub and filler, new counters and sinks and faucets etc, their contractors were excellent and very nice to work with. Betty Sandborg worked with me on the complete design and managed the entire project. I was very pleased with the final result. They did a great job. **★★★★★ — sslovette, Dec. 2014** > We hired Betty to update our Eichler Kitchen- removing an unfortunate wall addition, building a new island and reskinning some existing cabinets. Betty has an excellent eye for colors and materials and she stocks everything in the show room. We were able to take samples and spend lots of time looking at them in different lighting conditions. Betty received some new cabinet fronts after we had finished our design but before construction. She called us and said she thought they would fit our design better and she was right. > Betty and Scott worked together to solve some of our design dilemmas with creativity took pride in their work and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of the day. They even made sure out dog did not get loose in the construction commotion. The flooring, backsplash and countertop sub-contractors that she recommended were all top notch. > We love our new light filled kitchen with its harmonious materials and colors- thanks to the great people at Marin Kitchen works. **Comment from Marin Kitchen Works Inc.:** > Thank you so much!! It was great working with you :) **★★★★★ — kmason52, Dec. 2014** > Marin Kitchen Work is a wonderful company to work with. This is my second kitchen remodel project in 18 years where I have used their services. I highly recommend them, in fact Betty and Scott and most of their team did both of my kitchens, so the consistency and quality of their work speaks for itself. > Their bids are reasonable, they work within your budget and the work gets completed on time. They are true professionals and during construction they are even delightful people to have working in your house. They are extremely detail oriented and if something is not right they come back to finish it, they want you to be happy with your kitchen....and I am! **★★★★★ — gr8kitchens, Dec. 2014** > I am a colleague and a customer of Marin Kitchen Works, Inc.

They moved the shower from one side of the room to the other, installed heated flooring, put in new lighting, ceiling fan,window, tiling, etc. We found them to be very professional, experienced, and easy to work with. The design team was great with wonderful ideas for color, texture and style. They were very reliable and responsible with great knowledge of permit requirements. **★★★★ — mbwheeler1, Dec. 2014** > Marin Kitchen Works did a facelift to our kitchen/family room Feb - July 2014. They painted the cabinets, put on new doors and hardware, moved the microwave to the island, installed a range hood, new sinks, faucets, granite counters, lighting, etc. The subcontractors they used were all perfectionists, from dry wall to tile and wood floors. We were pleased with their work and their receptivity to changes. **★★★★★ — doonaz, Dec. 2014** > Marin Kitchen Works remodeled our formal dining room with new floors and walls, paint, etc. We were very happy with the work they did!

Scott, Betty and the whole team was a pleasure to work with, from the design phase to the installation. Their showroom is well stocked and Betty helped us narrow down the choices and stick to styles that would complement our Eichler interior and our budget. I was able to take home as many samples as I wanted. A photo-realistic visualization of our new kitchen was created, giving us a very clear idea of what the design would look like. Once construction started, the crew arrived on time and cleaned up the at the end of every day. They were all very pleasant and easy to work with. Any problems that came up were addressed quickly.

MKW is easy to work with. Their designs are creative and thoughtful and they will work within your budget. I don't think we have any space left to remodel, but if we do we would absolutely use MKW. They want you to be happy, and we certainly have been. **★★★★★ — kingelectric123, Nov. 2014** > I work with many General Contractors and I consider Marin Kitchen Works one of the best.
