When the realtor invited “the neighbors” for a sneak-peek on opening weekend, were we able to walk through the updated space, evaluate craftsmanship, and speak to Jason who project managed for Genuine Kitchen. > We called for an estimate, and Brian saw us within a week from initial call. Our main goal was to renovate the kitchen (the exact floor plan as next door!) and update floors throughout. We also had additional requests but wasn’t sure about overall budget, so we asked for these to be line itemed: adding can lights in the living room, add an overhead fan in master bedroom, change interior doors throughout. We ended up agreeing to everything except the doors. But the best thing about this consultation--we were able to talk through timing. We had vacation planned for 2 weeks in June, and it would be perfect timing if demo + floor installation could be completed while we were on vacation. Brian suggested renting a PODS unit for our driveway and that’s where most of our furniture lived while renovations occurred. Talking through the workflow helped settle my nerves about the project. We signed our deposit over March 18, which was 3.5-4months from when initial work was scheduled to take place. > This ended up being perfect timing for us. Flat front cabinets = 8week lead time, and another couple months to select countertop and kitchen fixtures. We were given a list of items to purchase, and I was eager to select all the fixtures to fit our style and price. I emailed my selection list to Genuine Kitchen, and they were helpful in pointing out some corrections (buy the certified outlets!) and suggestions (cabinet handles are better than edge pulls!). > 48hrs before we were scheduled to leave for vacation, we had to cancel (health reasons). Since we had planned to be out of the house during renovation of the floors we secured hotel + airBnB for 12nights. We asked Genuine Kitchen if we could move back into the bedrooms on day 12 of what was supposed to be 14 days. We were so thankful everything worked out and Genuine Kitchen completed the bedrooms so that we could move back in earlier than scheduled. > The bulk of the kitchen renovation occurred while we were simultaneously living in the house—they setup a zip wall between the spaces. The work crews were organized, courteous, and tidied-up after themselves every day. We expect dust during construction, but they tried to keep it to a minimum. Overall, Genuine Kitchen had great communication for us; both email + phone, and I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them for future projects! **★★★★★ — Christy, Dec. 2024** > After quite a while of trying to find someone to redo our kitchen who would do the design as well as the work, we discovered Genuine Kitchen and Bath. Brian met with us to understand what we were looking for and then began creating potential re-designs of our kitchen and dining room space. We went back and forth a bit before settling on the design that we really loved, but we got there. > > Brian also connected us with a great cabinet designer, Martha at Danmar Cabinets, and during the cabinet design process the three of us communicated via email to ensure we were all on the same page, which was super helpful. > > From the beginning, Brian was up front about the process, timeline and what to expect during this job. There were, as typically happens, things that came up that we hadn’t originally expected. Whenever that happened, we got clear answers on which things were included in the original job cost and anything that would be extra if we wanted to have them do it. > > Brian’s crew was great. His main guy, Junior, was there almost every day and was hard working, friendly, and great at communicating with us. Junior did a great job of cleaning up the job site each day to ensure it was safe both in the backyard and the front yard. We even had neighbors comment on the cleanliness of the job! > > Junior was on-site working hard every day and managed the other subcontractors as they came and went. Most of the subs were great, though we did have an issue with one of them. But we were very pleased with how Brian, Dianna and their crew handled the problems with that sub. > > Dianna was a big help with all design-related questions that came up along the way. She gave me clear instructions about where to get things (like the grout for the tile) and helped me decide on the color. It was great to have her expertise readily available to me. > > Brian and Dianna were very responsive to any concerns we had along the way. They were eager to make us happy and uphold their reputation. In the end, the project extended just a couple weeks past the original estimate of 2 months - mostly due to the subcontractor we had trouble with and a couple extra things we had them do (like add lighting in our living room area). I’ve heard horror stories from people having their contractors string them along for months not finishing the project. That was not our experience at all, just as Brian had promised, they finished the job completely and efficiently. > > I highly recommend Genuine Kitchen and Bath for any home project you have. If we decide to do another project down the road, we’ll definitely hire them again! **★★★★★ — Marianne Alvarez, May 2024** > We recently embarked on a journey to transform our parents' worn-out kitchen and home into a haven we could truly call our own. After meticulous research and recommendations, we entrusted Genuine Kitchen with this monumental task, and we're delighted to say that they exceeded our expectations in every aspect. > > From the initial consultation to the final touches, Genuine Kitchen showcased unparalleled professionalism and expertise. Brian, our main point of contact, was a gem throughout the process. His communication skills were superb, keeping us informed at every stage and readily addressing any concerns or queries we had. His dedication to ensuring our vision came to life while adhering to our budget was truly commendable. > > One of the standout qualities of Genuine Kitchen was their commitment to timelines. Despite the complexity of the project, they promised a completion date and delivered on it precisely as agreed upon. This reliability and punctuality are rare finds in the remodeling industry, and it speaks volumes about their integrity and efficiency. > > As for the results – we're beyond thrilled! Genuine Kitchen has breathed new life into our space, transforming it into a functional and aesthetically pleasing environment that we're proud to call home. > > In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Genuine Kitchen to anyone seeking top-notch remodeling services. Brian, Dianna, and the entire team have not only revitalized our home but also enriched our lives with their professionalism, integrity, and unparalleled skill. We're immensely grateful for their outstanding work and wouldn't hesitate to enlist their services again in the future. Thank you, Brian & Dianna, for making our dream home a reality! **★★★★★ — Kathleen Broderick, May 2021** > This was our first kitchen renovation project and I couldn't be more happy that we went with Brian & Dianna. As everything was new for us, they both answered all of our questions and reassured us that we were always all on the same page! They really lined up the schedule perfectly, from demo to scheduling the plumbers, electrical, painters, cabinet delivery, etc. We were really lucky and even ended our project a couple of days early - permits and all! Have to also give Rafa a shoutout - we loved him too! Thanks for making our dream kitchen a reality - we highly recommend GK&B! **★★★★★ — bonfete, Jan. 2020** > Brian and team came highly recommended from a neighbor where they worked on his home. The project was a total renovation of rental townhouse which had not be updated in decades. > > Brian and Dianna have extensive experience with updating rental property and were the perfect partners to work with. Their recommendation of design and materials were excellent, while understanding budget and cost constraints for an income unit. The proof is in the pudding - the unit was rented in the first week! > > They are a pleasure to work with and I'll be calling them for my next project. **★★★★★ — Michael Hart, Dec. 2019** > We engaged Genuine Kitchen & Bath for an extensive renovation of a recently purchased house. Overall, we were thrilled with the outcome. The project included renovations to the kitchen, replacing two bathrooms, repainting the house, as well as replacing doors, flooring, and trim throughout the house. Throughout the project, Brian was always very responsive to our questions, and he also provided thoughtful feedback on design choices at every step of the way. > > We were so happy with the project outcome that we have hired Genuine Kitchen & Bath to tackle our next project - upgrading our garage to go with our new & improved home! **★★★★★ — John Gregory, Nov. 2019** > We engaged Genuine Kitchen and Bath to do a complete remodel of the bathroom in our 2 bedroom condo in the Woodlake complex in San Mateo. We were and are absolutely delighted with our spectacular new bathroom! The workers were polite, on time and highly skilled and we love their work! The price was very fair and the job was finished expeditiously. Great job GK&B!! **★★★★★ — HU-674586969, Oct. 2019** > They just completed our DREAM kitchen, including floors throughout Kitchen and dining room. We could not have possibly had a better experience! This team is out of this world. Our kitchen went from old and outdated to perfection. I always dreamed out a white kitchen but along with our two young children we have two dogs (and a potbelly pig) so white cabinets just didn't seem realistic. Brian and Dianna (the owners) suggested we go with two tone (dark cabinets on bottom and white on top) and it turned out beyond perfect. I can't even imagine having the all white now because the two tone look makes our small kitchen look so much more open. This team is not only creative and caring but also efficient, our entire kitchen transformation happened in two weeks. If you've ever had to be without a kitchen you know that having a company that cares about getting your home back in order as quickly as possible is so important. > We love this company so much, we will only ever trust them with our home and recommend them to everyone we know. If you want a company you can TRUST, look no further. **★★★★★ — Jenny Goines, Sept. 2019** > Brian and Dianna are a wonderful, responsive and helpful team. We've been talking about remodeling our two bathrooms for nearly eight years, and every time we started the process we would get completely overwhelmed. I found Brian here on Houzz, and I'm so glad that I did! He met with me promptly, provided ideas, assured me that it was not going to be as difficult as I feared and coached me through the whole structural engineer, city permit and product purchase process. Six months from when we signed our contract our two bathrooms are complete and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Our home was built in the 1930s so many hiccups came up throughout the remodel process, but Brian and Dianna were always calm and matter a fact, assuring us that it would all work out. We definitely recommend Genuine Kitchen and Bath for your kitchen and bathroom remodel needs! **★★★★★ — Heather P, April 2019** > Brian and Dianna and their team are amazing! We recently bought a cinderblock home that most contractors were hesitant to work on, if you could get one to even call you back. However, Brian was extremely responsive and provided us a thorough, reasonable quote within 24 hours. We were on a pretty tight timeline, but needed a complete transformation of or home. The home was a disaster and was owned by a smoker of 10+ years. We needed a gutted home to move into with our young son, in less then 8 weeks. Brian and his team were originally hired to work on our floors, ceilings, walls, and lighting. But once we saw how beautiful the house was becoming, we quickly realized how much the kitchen needed to be redone as well. Bryan and Dianna help us think through all of our options and every step of the process. We eventually ended up rearranging the layout of the kitchen and adding all new cabinets, countertops and appliances. At the end of the day they over delivered. They were extremely professional throughout the entire process did a bunch a little extra finishes that we wouldn’t of even thought of doing to make a home extra perfect. Our home is perfect, and the best part is that they came out on budget and under schedule. I mean under the original scheduled timeline before we even added the kitchen. That is unheard of! We are so grateful that we found them and highly recommend them if you need work to your home. **★★★★★ — Karin Sponholz, Nov. 2018** > Brian, Dianna and the rest of his team are the best!!! I highly recommend them: clear communication, friendly, accommodating, professional, hard working, and oh so easy to work with. Definitely a can-do team. I appreciate all that they have done. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! **★★★★★ — Sarah Gerhardt, Oct. 2018** > Dianna and Brian are a dynamic duo! I contacted them for a specific sink I was in need of and they were able to find it for me at a great price within hours. Dianna was extremely helpful, polite and accommodating. She also checked in on us after it was installed. Thank you so much Brian and Dianna. ## Selected projects - [Modern Bathroom Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-bathroom-makeover-pj-vj~7338291) - Location: Redwood City, CA - Photos: 5 - [Kitchen Counter Expansion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-counter-expansion-pj-vj~7338277) - Location: San Mateo, CA - Photos: 4 - [Bath Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bath-projects-pj-vj~2372459) - Location: Redwood City, CA - Photos: 10 - [Bath Remodel - Redwood City](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bath-remodel-redwood-city-pj-vj~2106559) - Location: Redwood City, CA - Photos: 8 - [Kitchen Remodel -San Carlos](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-remodel-san-carlos-pj-vj~2106579) - Location: San Carlos, CA - Photos: 3 - [Kitchen Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-projects-pj-vj~2372438) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 3 - [San Mateo -Bath remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-mateo-bath-remodel-pj-vj~2544776) - Location: San Mateo, CA - Photos: 4 - Description: Antique white wall tiles, eramosa beige floor tiles - [San Mateo Bath Remodel 2017](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-mateo-bath-remodel-2017-pj-vj~2628741) - Location: San Mateo, CA - Photos: 6 - Description: Our San Mateo clients wanted to update their bathroom in their Hayward Park Craftsman home(built in 1914) They wanted a look that would wow their guests and keep the old school charm.
